URBAN INTERVENTION - BEE FACTORY|GROUP WORK
GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
BARCELONA, SPAIN |SYSTEMATIC PROJECT Industry is a program which always be regarded as harmful to the urban environment. However, when industry endowed with biological features, will it intervene urban posi tively? This project tries to introduce urban with the bee’s living mode as superorganism which is a high resilience social mode. If the city could behave as a superorganism, each individual functions just setting to fulfil earthly delights of citizens, will it brings factory back as a positive perturbance?
No matter how it reinterprets itself, we come up with a future vision led by machine to achieve a resilient, reflective, and responsive urban system. If from the beginning, the god gives us the garden of earthly delights, the machine will help the current Anthropocene to find a new gar den of earthly delights which is suit for now and ready for the future.
WORK Non site experimental inhabitation |400 m2 Occupy Area The project aims to establish a surrealist world where each expression of personal humani ty will have recreation via the government’s rationing system. Here, permanence means death. Here, irreversible is out of control. Here, spirituality is higher than substantial. Here, no surrender, no succumb, no classes.

E C O T O N E RESIDENTIAL REGION - COHOUSING|INDIVIDUAL TheWORKcorner of High Street and Walker Street in Northcote, Melbourne |10100 m2 Occupy Area Ecotone is the interactive balance of communities Co-living. One community change, the Ecotone, transforms into a new adaptive form. As a project that aims to transcend the constraints of inten sive residential architecture, intrinsically limited spatial atmospheres, and scope of change, this project seeks to use an ecological per spective to explain the possibility of future residential architecture. What is the present, what is the future? If architecture can find it’s way to adapt into different ages, into different occupier?

The project aims to design an office and dwelling complex tower to serve both working and living. The Frost tower emphasises a transition from the ground historical architecture to the upper Melbourne skyline, the modern glazing facade. The concrete window shad ing gradually disappears when it gets higher to express the new growth of Melbourne from history to the future.
OFFICIAL AND RESIDENTIAL TOWER COMPLEX|GROUP WORK (3P)
FROST TOWER
The base part is the office block. The triangular cuts on the edges are designed to minimize the influence of wind, as well as provide view through the transparent facade. The hotel on the top part is risen to form a gap, which became the sky lobby. Inside the cut edge are some dou ble-high spaces, where lounges and other facilities are located at.
Low-rise office lift: 6 lifts Start from the ground floor and end on the top level of the low-rise office (L20). The high-rise hotel lift and crown lift would continue use the lift shaft on the upper level, but the shaft would change into function room on the levels in-between.
Medium-rise office lift: 4 lifts Serve as the direct transpor tation to deliver people from ground to medium. Thus, it is not open on the low-rise office levels (L1-L19), but open on L20 to allow low-rise lifts exchange to medium-rise lifts. It would end on L33 to make sure the security level of the upper hotel. On L33, people could exchange to sky lobby lift to achieve hotel sky lobby. Sky lobby lift: 3 lifts To ensure the security level of the high-rise hotel, the sky lobby lift only opens on the ground floor, top medi um-rise office floor (L33) and sky lobby.
Crown lift: 2 lifts Only open on the sky lobby and crown to introduce pub lic into the crown restaurant and sky garden to active the crown’s function. Goods & fire lift: 2 lifts Serve as the supporting sys tem of supplement and entire rescue, go through the entire building and open on each level, but stop on the crown first Level-L51.
The podium reacts to the different conditions of site. The chamfered corners are set back, acting as main entrances for office and hotel separately.
High-rise hotel lift: 4 lifts Start from sky lobby, these 6 lifts only supply the hotel transportation to make sure the protection of guests.

1. Parametric flexible scale design Via iso-surface grasshopper control trigger, the project aims to generate a flexible scale design that could change its meaning from the pavilion to industrial design.
OTHER WORKS
This kind of curved surface could lead water flowing down to become stream or little falling water.
2. Construction detailed model
Based on an art school in the south bank, the model aims to show all the detailed construction processes in a sectional physical model. By using cardboard, foam, steel wire, foil, plastic board, the construction details are represented as 1:50 scale.
The base surface represented as curved tendency could be regarded as a natural representation like the karst cave structure.Larger geometry could create a large gathering space with an opening to the outside. Because a grid number of voids are created inside the cube. Geometry strategies baseIsosurafce
