The Rethink of Parking By Default: Parking is a type of transportation infrastructure - it provides storage for cars and acts as a transition space from driving to walking and vice versa. However, it creates an invisible boundary to alienate the surroundings and non-driving users. Plus, it is an inactive and low-efficient space. To rethink the default of the Parking, can we transform it to a communal space from a private property? Through exploring the reform of a university campus surface parking, the project is to question and redefine the role of Surface parking as infrastructure and transition space for the new normals in a campus. The programming includes educational, social, and recreational facilities, etc. The flexibility and mobility of the spatial design give the freedom for different uses by needs or time.

The Middle Housing for Multi-Generations and Families in Detroit: With the rapid urbanization and rising demand for living in urban environments, the housing agenda today is about pursuing community-level diversity, inclusion, and engagement. Seeking a “Missing Middle” type of housing in Detroit, we see our project as an opportunity to encourage the goal of density, diversity, and new domesticity in the East Riverfront community. We propose a multi-generation-and-families household structure. Multigenerational living mode not only helps to alleviate elderly alienation but also give more attention to children’s growth and education. We create interesting and unique communal spaces for living, playing, and learning together between different generations, such as a Semi-private courtyard, Common Kitchen, and Mediatheque. Our units feature in private and co-living types, offering different privacy for multigenerational living. Overall, we aim to encourage the movement of aggregating individuals and reintegrating generations in a safe, walkable, and healthy sharing community.

01/ SITE The project is on the neighborhood next to the East Riverfront of Detroit, where has rich cultural heritage and great connectivity to the river and Belle Isle Island. It is positioned as the next generation of high quality urban neighborhoods. With the great connection to the natural landscape and parking system, our vision is to develop a type of Middle housing, being more adaptive and responsive to its community.

Selected Project for the Taubman College Student Show 2020
9/2019 - 12/2019
Theatre Design: Relinking North and Central Campus. The project is to build a larger scale of a multifunctional theatre by replacing the existing one, Power Center for the Performing Arts, which was built in 1971. This studio is focusing on form exploration, programming, and stage design with a series of exercises to enhance and human experience. The sequence of deliveries follows the studio structure: precedent study and inspiration; moments of possible scenes for programs; forms exploration; stage design. The goal of the project is to relink two campuses (the north and the central) as a transition space and to activate social engagement by exploring the spatial experience and programming. The form of design was conceptualized and developed clear compositional logics via strategies of additive (boolean aggregation) and subtractive massing (digital stereotomy). Its outcome forms various spaces for different programming of the performance center. The intention of perceptual hierarchy leads to complex but interesting visual, geometric, and spatial articulation.

City Amplified: A Hybrid of Community and Connections. This project is meant to explore programmatic and design opportunities on Cermak Road in Chicago through the intersection of housing, public realm, landscape, infrastructure, and investment opportunities for a broader group of stakeholders. The proposal includes two parts: Urban design (Group) and Architectural design (Individual). In master plan design, our primary goal of redeveloping this inactive area is: 1) to activate the space by developing a programmatic design and recasting the urban fabric; and 2) to open the west boundary of Chinatown area to its neighbor Near South Side, and to catalyze a social connection with its adjacent communities.

02/ STUDY OF BLOCK TYPOLOGY HIGH-RISE The high-rise type, also known as a tower block, is represented by tall buildings with multiple levels. There is no universal definition for the number of levels that determines a building to gain this status; this height is variable according to different geographic areas.

CITY BLOCK
U-Shaped
Half
Closed
Folded
The city block is an urban building flanked on all sides by streets concerning the urban fabric. Its scale is directly related to the scale of the city. The city block generally involves a large spatial diversity and a relatively high privacy degree. It can have the same height as the block typology or higher, depending on the context. Buildings ranging between 4 to 7 levels are ideal in terms of energy footprint, which is lower than that of taller buildings.
HOUSE Individual
Row Houses

Row Houses attached by courtyards

The single and abstract typological unit represented by the individual house, the first category is driven by multiplying, joining, or overlapping multiple groups of units. The configuration generated by those operations are either classical attached or row houses, either contemporary of folded.

The last typology represents a quantitative increase in size, in the number of individual units and scale compared to the “house” typology. The block height is moderate, usually ranging between three and five levels; this height is traditionally justified by the number of levels convenient for walking. Its low configuration and flexible footprint on the ground. Its scale allows the object to enroll organically within the context.

Programming
In the group part, there are FOUR strategies to approach the site: Landform, Accessibility, Open space, and Programming. Connecting the two largest neighborhoods Chinatown and McCormick, we take the density, programming, and role of the site into consideration. We tend to encourage social engagements and activities between two communities. Plus, the site has good access to public transportation and increases employment opportunities.
05/ INDIVIDUAL DESIGN Residential Complex Design BUSINESS
In the individual part, within our urban framework conversion, I scaled down to one part - the residential area and sought to create a new model of living, working, and socializing in residential complex design for young professionals, students, and small families. By introducing FOUR privacy levels: Super Private, Semi-Private, Semi-Public, and Super Public, I could organize spaces and floors for different users, tending to encourage more social activities and engagements, and entrepreneurial opportunities in this community.

City Amplified: Reactivating Public Realm at Chicago River Edge by Architectural Intervention. This project develops an Art & Community Center Design along the main branch of the Chicago River. The site is located in the Streeterville neighborhood where gathers hotels, office buildings, luxury retail stores, restaurants, and city landmarks. Also, this site, an inactive space, sits at the level of the River-walk and a level down from the adjacent streets. The key issues to be addressed are the change of levels and connection with its immediate context, and how design benefits this neighborhood and strengthens a social interaction, engagement, and activities among people. My design goal is to activate the riverfront and stimulate more social activities: 1) the building becomes an intermediate space naturally connecting the river-walk to street level; 2) programmatic design is based on the need of the target user groups, and 3) enhancement of common area gathers different types of audience. Regarding the form, five different shapes of rectangular void were extruded from the “box,” and turned into the open atrium with stairs. Finally, the building physically and visually connects two levels and merges into its context.

EXISTING SITE The site is a self-parking at the riverfront level. It is a inactive and ungainly riverfront space, which has few human activity around the site
EXPECTED SITE Activates the space and stimulates more human activities, creating a more attractive landscape and visual experience at the river-front
03/ STRATEGIES
PLAZA
VEGETATION
By extending the ground at the street level, the building’s rooftop generates a public plaza, gathering people at the street level. Also, it naturally integrates within its context.
Adding greens to the public plaza of two levels, and the open atrium, the project embellished its environment, creating a visual beauty of the Chicago Riverfront.
STREET LEVEL PLAN
USES
NATURAL LIGHT
The building has two programs: Art Gallery (North/Purple) and Community service (South/ Blue). The community area has entrances from both street and river-walk levels, while the art gallery has separate entrances at the street level.
Large horizontal floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side create a display of an impressive lake view and brighten up the interior. Plus, the atrium invites natural light to inside and visually attracts people from the main street level.

The robotics is a ongoing elective fabrication class, experiencing lighting, clay, PLA / carbon-fabric filament and other material by KUKA robot arm. In this portfolio, we have done the first project: Motion Analysis (recording pattern generated by a LED single light + light baton).
PROJECT 1: MOTION ANALYSIS: Tracing the light pattern. LIN
SPLINE
PTP
Chinese Character “Fortune”
LIN/SPLINE/PTP OBSERVATIONS
The line path type proved to be the most accurate when following the software generated points. An exception is made when the distance increased. Spline was the least accurate path and created geometric conditions that seem more organic. Changes in velocity and distance did not affect the path. Point to point proved to be the second most accurate out of the three line types. It was not affected by increasing in velocity and distance when compared to LIN.

PROJECT 1-2: MOTION ANALYSIS Tracing the Light Baton
LIN/SPLINE/PTP OBSERVATIONS Started with a simple form, an oval shape, I generated a pattern of a radius of a circle by the light baton. It is because of its idiosyncrasy of roundness and symmetry. Using less light density allows us to see and capture the path of the movement, and understand how robot arm works in the script “along the curve”.

PROJECT 4: HOT WIRE CASTING This design is focusing on making an hand-like object and testing how robot arm works to cut complicated shape. Also, this object is cut by one time (one script), but the challenge is the shape will not be precise.

Notes FINAL PRINT It is a design that twists a rectangular block and curves the edge. Test print is to find the good size of nozzle to generate the form.
The final print uses the same setting as the test print. The top of the model shrink in because I changed the speed, which reduces its thickness.

SITE:
Moon
Many decades later, landing on the moon is no longer become a dream for humans. The next step takes a further exploration of the solar system, so the moon becomes the first space habitation. Without protection by the atmosphere from the impact of meteoroids and solar wind, the moon is a considerable danger as a place to survive and live. Our goal is to design a safe and self-sustainable habitation for tourists and researchers, providing a pleasant and comfortable spatial experience in a new planet without life.

01/ SITE CHOICE & USE OF NATURAL RESOURCE
EXPOSED AXON
Based on the latest studies, the south pole of the moon, which stores many ice water and has constant illumination is most likely for humans to reside so far. Plus, the lunar regolith, the source of oxygen and hydrogen, consists of rock, miner, and glass particle. These natural resources can be extracted and used for humans’ daily consumption (water, oxygen, etc.), building materials and fuel/energy through water/energy/air recycle system, dynamic facade, and robot arm rover.
