"ARC208 explores factors and forces influencing the generation of architectural from and tectonic resolution through the lens of site, system, surface, and section in a "landscape" context. Conventional program is modest in scope with the expectation that design projects have a high level of resolution. "Site" is positioned as a complex terrain of artifacts, organizations, histories and processes that operate at diverse spatial and temporal scales."

Artificial Ground Onondaga Lake Cultural Center This project aims for engineering water in order to let people engage with water. The site is located at the edge of the Onondaga Lake Park. In another edge which is located at the diagonal postion, the urban context of Liverpool pushes the Lake Park towards the lake. However, at the same time, the urban context and the park merges together, creating in-between space. Maintaing this language, the site is influenced by both the waterway running from northeast and the lake located in southwest. In this project, the waterways form the buildings, however, at the same time, the buildings also form the waterways, creating a rich relationship. Liverpool once prospered in its salt industry. In the process of producing salt, people used moving roof to respond weather conditions, creating smooth transition between interior and exterior. The project also took the idea of smooth transition from interior to exterior by using roof's skylight system and changes in sections.

Envelopes of Nature 21st Centry Water Museum for 19th Centry Water The site is surrounded by two types of landscapes which are recovering landscape and constructed landscape. When people are in constructed landscape, they interact with 'nature' since the 'nature' is idealized and controlled; they climb their trees in the backyard, they lay down on the grass. In contrast, when people are in recovering nature, they actually do not interact with nature. They only have visual interaction with nature, walk along sidewalks, and never go off the sidewalks. This project, hence, aims for letting people interact with nature by enveloping and idealizing nature. In this project, visiters are invited to walk through the framed courtyards to get to the other buidings. Hence, the sequence becomes a poetic experience.
