2017_First year studio project_Body Extention
Body Extension Wearable devices inspired by a movement
Sept 2017- Dec 2017 Academic Project First Year Studio Individual Design Details, Ergonomic Design
4
Begin with photography of certain movement, the ergonomics of my own body is measured, studied and analysed. Using a rectangular box to analyse my occupy of space, the method was also tested on other movements. The final outcome is a wearable mechanical device that maintain spaces behind me when I kneel.
The project allows me to explore about the relation of body and space, have a better understanding to my body dimensions and the way to conduct ergonomic design. I learnt about characteristics and ways to fabricate certain material during the design development of my body extension.

2018_First year studio project_Narrative Framing
Narrative Framing Temporary Installation on Temple Street
Jan 2018- Feb 2018 Academic Project First Year Studio Group of Two with Timothy Lam
Material Exploration, Fabrication
Awarded Best Material Exploration in PolyU Design Annual show 2018
Narrative Framing is an installation-to-architecture scale project. This sitespecific project happens in Temple Street Night Market, an iconic spot in Hong Kong where there is dramatic changes from day to night and rich in cultural and architectural context for us to investigate. By continuing the Body Extension, the device is brought and per formed on site in order to observe the changes of device to the surroundings. An object, together with the surrounding site is selected, drawn and studied. Working with a partner,
6
a temporary installation is executed on an early morning in Temple street. It is designed based on the narratives of two body extensions, and the context of our assigned area in Temple Street, as a spacial “ framing” of body narratives on site. By analysing the common narrative of two body extensions as “contraction and expansion”, we developed a canvas system. The site specific narrative framing is designed in modular, prefabricated in school for deployment on the Temple Street.

Wu Zhi Qiao (Bridge to China) is a charitable organisation with rich experience in community service projects in mainland. The organisation focuses in helping underprivileged villages, by student initiated projects on village renewal, social design, bridge and villagers’ centre. In 2019, we started a project to design and built a theatre for a local village in Xian. The project is sponsored by HSBC, as a collaboration between HK PolyU and the Xian University of Building and Technology. On-site investigation was done in 2019 spring and autumn.
This is the proposal by PolyU design team, a new theatre that could also serve as a villagers’ centre. Bricks and wood are used to respond to the local textiles of the original building. Along with the overall design, I was in charge of the detail design and drawings.

Sep 2019 to Dec 2019 Design Theory research with Amber Chan Bryan Yuen Dabbie Lam
In the course, we initiated a research on identifying Junkspace theory from Rem Koolhaas in the newlyopened shopping mall, the K11 MUSEA. Begin with analysing zones and circulations within the mall and the surrounding. We then visualise our understanding and makde a landscape out of the research data. I designed the methodology and build the 3D model, which was later 3D-printed.

2019_Second year studio project_Beyond Visual
Beyond Visual A sensory journey within Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market
It’s all about Sensation: a touch of sunlight, a breeze of air, the temperature, humidity, the sound of the city carried by wind ...enable you to understand beyond visual.
Jan 2019- Apr 2019 Academic Project Second year Studio Group of two with Timothy Lam
Adaptive reuse Experiential design
Awarded AB Concept Scholarship 2018-19
Visual is always the dominant element when experiencing a space, this project challenges to interpret other senses as the ruling element to explore space. Under a moment of stillness, no movement can be observed. Almost nothing is happening. That is when we open up our senses. How we understand a space beyond form and shape? It’s all about sensation: a touch of sunlight, a breeze of air, the temperature, humidity, the sound of the city carried by wind…enable yourself to understand beyond visual. Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market, one of the busiest place in Kowloon,
14
is facing relocation in the next decade. Imagining the space will soon be abandoned, the market is turned into a journey of sensation. There are three parts composing the journey, namely Frames, Lining, and Sound Capsule.

Beyond Visual_Second year studio project_2019
“Frames” is an interactive space where the light flickers responding to your movement. Once you walk inside, the lighting, dim as you approaches, brights again as you leave. Interacts with your movement, following your speed. When you walk fast, the light flickers; when you walk slow, it breaths. When you stop, they still, and the time is frozen. “Lining”, a big, white, edgeless space where allows you to stay, see, and listen to the
flow of time. The urban traffic echoes from the top where ceiling is absent, bouncing in the space. Shadow casting on the white colour and the slowly moving sky are the only two moving elements in the space, visualising the fluid of time.
"Frame"
“Sound Capsule”, a large open hall with three huge white plastic capsules. Specially designed that it vibrates with the sound and wind. Walking into the simplified form, you hear the sound of Fruit Market.

New campus entrance for enhanced openness
Jan 2020- Apr 2020 Academic Project Studio project Individual
A transportation hub/ nonmotorised vehicle repair studio reimagining the renovated Ragged School Museum, under a London where no motorised transport is allowed due to the extreme pollution world wide. The building stretches to the opposite side of the canal. A tunnel with waving resin panels is designed, allowing cyclists to dive into the Victorian styled building with fresh light penetrates, and enjoy the ride near the Regent’s Canal.

2019_Second year elective project_Polyu Main Enterance redesign
PolyU Entrance Redesign New campus entrance for enhanced openness
Jan 2019- Apr 2019 Academic Project Landscape Design Group of Four with Bryan Yuen Clarence Lee Katie Lai
As the entrance reects the philosophy of a school, an alternative of PolyU main entrance is designed. The site is located at Orchard Court, next to the current main entrance, which is a halfabandoned garden with few activities happening daily and lack of maintenance. After site research and analysis, we suggested that the poor situation could be improved. By removing the fences and adding accessible stairs, it increases the openness of the space both visually and physically. The site could serve as another entrance and a leisure space for both public and university members.
22
Under the new design, public forums and gatherings are now possible. Since a university should serve as a platform always remain open to free debates and discussions.

Drafting Conceptual Experimental design
Shadow is explored as a formfinding tools in this project. A shadow in real life is captured, drawn and transferred into various physical models, exploring the meaning and interpretation of shadows. After that the shadow casted on the model is transferred to a second set of drawing and models…the process can go on and on. The physical model and drawing on top right is the third and final adaptation in this project, however it is possible
24
to go on with “the shadow of the shadow model” and create the “model of the shadow of the shadow model”, so on and so on.
