In total 3 VMUs were detailed and constructed to understand all the wall types, roof types, and the interface design between different materials. I was involved since the inception of the VMU tender process to the later construction phase. My duties included preparation of VMU facade design and development package, review of tenderer documents, coordination with contractors and consultants for completion of construction document, material selection and sourcing, and site visit. The VMUs studied and detailed out the following facade wall types: diamond glass facade, diamond stone facade, stone strips facade with light boxes, shop front glass facade, aluminum wall facade, glass box facade, and signage wall facade. The VMUs also studied feature roof of the project, including the detail of and the interfaces between skylights, louvers, aluminum panels, artificial turf roof, gutters, and parapet.

RETAIL PODIUM DESIGN Mixed-Use Development Wuhan, China
Professional Project Facade Design 2014-2016
The project is the design and development of a retail podium facade consisting of six different wall types. The retail podium is part of a LEED Gold certified mixed-use development situated in downtown Wuhan City, Hubei Province in central China. The development spans a gross floor area of 433,000 square meters above ground comprising of a 50m high 6-storey retail podium, a 325m high office tower, and three service apartment towers with the height of 150m, 175m and 200m respectively. My responsibilities in this project mainly focused on the design development of retail podium roof and facade. The facade consists of 6 wall types, including diamond glass wall, diamond stone wall, shop front glass wall, aluminum wall, signage wall, and feature stone wall (interlayer of stone strips and lightboxes). During the design development phase I studied the modulation of diamond glass panels and diamond stone panels, the interface detail between different materials, the visual effect of stone paneling, lightbox installation detail, louver arrangement and design, the placement of entrance and exit doors in consideration of fire regulations, the material selection according to LEED requirements, and the fine-tuning of design based on material manufacturing constraints.

The project sites locate in Xiao Dong Men, the eastern part of Huangpu District in Shanghai. The project area consists of in total 6 sites, extending from the west bank of Huangpu River westward into the historical area of Shanghai. The goal of the project is to design a master plan which revitalize the local waterfront (southern extension of the Bund) and extend a green belt-featured retail service strip into the commercial area.

The design connects the 6 project sites by continuous green parks, pedestrian bridges, retail podiums, sunken plazas, green roofs and elevated decks. The center of the master plan is a green park with a sunken plaza connected to the surrounding commercial towers. The design idea of green belt to the central park reflects an experiential journey through the Chinese interpretation of geographic and gardening features, including bamboo pathway and canyon-inspired gateway entrance. The design also focuses on creating a 24 hours city center which accommodates both morning and night activities.

The unique location of Cornell Tech campus also addresses the issue of designing in response to environmental changes and reconnection to the natural habitat. The design recognizes the fact of sea level rising and maximizes the island’s capacity to absorb and adapt into the changes. The elevated and permeable building design allows for the restoration of natural habitat and intends to integrate the built environment with natural surroundings. The campus was also designed to calibrate and to retain the continuity among the surrounding communities: the established residential community to the north of the island, the Four Freedoms Park to the south of the island, Manhattan to the west of the East River, and Queens borough to the east of the river. The continuum allows the flow of knowledge and the freely adaptive spaces allow the campus to serve as an incubator welcoming all types of possibilities.

Traditional typological approach that explicitly delineates spaces based on the assigned programmatic uses was considered designer-centric in this project, which turned a blind eye on users, context, and environment as whole. The project proposed that a successful campus plan should map out resiliency to changes and encourage communication and collaboration. The spatial arrangement should be open-ended for which the users can modify according to their needs, now and in the future. The campus plan in this project was designed to be responsive, and be capable of adapting into the advancing technology, changing programming demands, and unpredictable events.

The project, by investigating the distinctive food supply systems servicing the two different settlement patterns – the wealthy urban residents and the resources-deprived informal settlers, proposed strategies to integrate the two food supply chains as a mean to integrate the segragated communities.

Medellin has a segregated settlement pattern with which the communities are both physically excluded from each another as well as culturally, mainly due to income disparity. The urbanized areas are occupied by wealthy residents who are readily accessible to ample economic privileges and resources, while the low-income population fueled by waves of rural migration to the city inevitably have to settle informally in the areas that are generally inhabitable. Despite in close proximity, the two types of settlement patterns do not share resources with each other. The lack of a more integrative urban fabric further prevents the communication between two settlement systems. The integration allows a more efficient and mutually beneficial food distribution system. More importantly, by altering the food supply chains and distribution routes, the city can automatically weave together the two segregated community fabric and provide venues for cultural exchange. New opportunities also arise so both formal and informal settlement communities can be benefited from sharing economic resources, workforces and public facilities. The project proposed an urban development strategy which pointed out the cultural importance of industrial

Design A Riverfront Hub housed farmer’s markets, retail stores, and public performance area is designed to revitalize waterfront by promoting local culture and local produce. The Hub invites people from center of the city and the surrounding neighborhoods to the waterfront by green corridors and bike lanes. The residential development in this proposal incorporates practice of urban farming, which allows the operation of Riverfront Hub sustainable by the local community. The various scales of outdoor performance spaces are designed to provide showcasing venues for local talent, in this town known as the center of country music. Public space The design promotes hands-on experience of harvesting one’s own food. There are small scale farms that people can visit and harvest seasonally. Restaurants and the nearby market can process the produce for dining and can provide booths for selling the own products. The Riverfront Hub uses local produce and local music talent as catalysts to create a vibrant public space and to promote a healthy living style. Community & Economy The Riverfront Hub provides employment opportunities especially to the residential neighborhood immediately north of Sulphur Dell, where poverty appears to be a prominent social issue. 14

The ambiguous nature of viscosity which is neither solid nor liquid allows for a different angle of reading the connectivity and fluidity among different program spaces in a compact building. The viscous spatial arrangement also benefits the mediation of humidity and circulation of air in this building combining both living space and nature environment. The undulating floor plates facilitate the achievement of viscous flow of space.

The concept of viscosity is also applied to create a thickness for the facade. The facade is thickened in lower floors, and the application of viscous nature to the generation of facade gives rise to porous spaces in the thickened part of facade. Facade itself therefore is not just a wall, but it also defines space.

MOVIE ANALYSIS
FlexHouse is a project looking into possible architectural response to economic influences on housing stocks.
PUBLICEntrance ENTRANCE Public
Florida is one of the states suffering the worst impact from economic downturn since 2008. Miami particularly is still dealing with high foreclosure rate. One of the architectural conditions that exacerbate the problem is the lack of adaptability in housing design. Economic cycle fluctuates in an unpredictable manner, while the design of housing is rigid, making it incapable of adapting changes in a short span of time. FlexHouse proposes a condominium that is able to accommodate needs in different economic periods. The whole building can be a luxury condominium during good economic time. As economy turns unfavorable and more occupants become incapable of affording mortgage payments, the units can be rearranged to accommodate other programmatic needs, which in term facilitate a positive impact on economic stimulation. By designing flexibility into the dimensions of space, time and programmatic usage, FlexHouse becomes an active member that feeds back to the local neighborhood and the economy.
The chapels contain spaces for functions of baptism, wedding and funeral service - major events people go through in the course of life, generations after generations. The idea is to have the flow of time to be eternal in this building, echoing the rhythm of life.

The project was inspired by the nonlinear story telling technique perfected by the movie Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind. The movie unfolded the story by delicately manipulates the concept of time. The project started from studying the relationships and interactions between different timelines in the movie and different time-reality among each protagonists. The time manipulation techniques applied in the movie were analyzed and extracted to formulate the strategies for creating an experiential environment reflecting the intangible flow of time. Spaces in this project are the materialization of time flows that layer, interweave, penetrate, and overlap with each other.

Professional Project Facade Design+Retail Interior Design 2010 The project was to design and construct a 3-story facade and the interior of a retail jewelry store. The design concept of the exterior facade was derived from the major product of the store – diamond. We took an image of diamond radiance and stretched it both vertically and horizontally to create an angular-shaped skeleton. The stretches created dramatic visual tension to symbolize the breaking through of this long-lasting retail store and the business area. To simulate the glossiness of a diamond, the skeleton extruding out of the exterior wall was covered by patterned translucent films on tranparnet plastic plates. Durind daytime the façade is a glittering diamond, and at nighttime the façade turns into a shining color-changing gemstone by the LED lights installed inside the skeletal structure. The inteior design of the store was modelled after the idea of a spring garden. The essence of vitality is conveyed through growing trees supporting the jewelry display boxes, and honeycomb wall-displays which represent opulence and liveliness. My duties in the project includ the generation of design concepts, the production of schematic representations, communication with clients and contractors, and supervision of the renovation site.
