The School of Law is a good example of lightstudy. The visitors experience a strong sense of light once they step into the faĂ ade. This unique experience can be achieved through the following design choices: first of all, the geographical condition. The building is located at the northwestern corner of the University of Washington campus on a hillside,which captures immediate sunlight when the rare sun comes out. ven Seattle s weather is not good, the designers uses other light into the space.

THE LIGHT EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY /vertical passage design
The main concept of this project is to create three light spaces with the expression of vertical experience and compression. As one walks through the entrance, they will arrive at the first vertical space located in the center and will experience a strong sense of light coming from the top and leaks through the stairs.
As the visitors keep ascending to the space, they will reach the second vertical space- the shell. They will experience light in a shell like structure. Standing on the top floor looking down to the space, dynamic light will come through the slightly angled walls. They can also go down to the main floor and experience the space from a difference angle.
Vertical Passage/ Light Space Design Professor: Gundula Proksch TA: Doug Smith Student: Viviana J. Wei Section: AA
The last vertical light space is located behind the facade. It faces west allowing a lot of evening light coming from the openings. The design intention of the triangular curves is to create sunset like shadow. As one stands inside, they will experience an intensive light as they are watching the sunset from outside. Thus, this space is named the “Sunglow Room�.

THE VESSEL
/gasw o rk s p a r k e nv ir onm e nt a l ou t loo k
The main concept of this project is to create a structure that has a meaningful environmental response to Gasworks Park. The structure is located on the water looking to the land, sky, as well as the downtown Seattle. People arrive at the structure through different means of water transports like kayaking and sailing. Because of the materiality of the structure, which is translucent, the people within the structure are able to have a panorama view of the surrounding environment through the massive triangulated folding interior space.
One of the highlights of the structure is to provide a space for people to interact with the water. People gain a wide water view underneath the structure through the translucent glass-like material. Another highlight of the site is its ability to provide a optimum location for viewing the Seattle sunsets. People at the structure can either watch the stunning sunset from inside or follow the circular path to the outside on the second level in order to gain a more open unobstructed view.

URBAN SKETCHING: SPAIN
A Journey to Spain These sketches were done last year when I studied abroad in Spain for four months. During the period, I took some field trips to different cities. As a record of my journey, I did some fast sketches to capture different urban scenes. The cities that I visited are Madrid, Seville, Granada, San Sebastian, Cordoba, Bilbao, Leon, Santiago de Compostela, Malaga, Barcelona, Ibiza. The following drawings are some selected works of my journey.
