UNCONDITIONED REFLEX BUILDING ENVELOPE
TYPICAL ELEVATIONS LIVING CONDITION Before
After
Instructor: Erik Hemingway Location: Fuding, China Date: December 2016
As we know, Typhoon tremendously influence people's life in coastal area. People's health, life, and wealth are threaten by strong power around the world. Buildings are even destroyed by wind and flood. No matter in urban or rural area, building systems can easily damaged by environmental forces. The torrential rain and wild wind tear buildings down. Mimose, is also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, Dormilones or shy plant, is a creeping annual or perennial herb of the pea family Fabaceae often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. This mechanism is giving me an example that how plants react to the environment or threat. I am trying to design a building envelop that reversely imitate the mimose to react this particular or irresistible natural force. In that way, this Envelope can protect the most fragile part in building system, the windows, during the Typhoon, and then be opened again during a normal weather.
A r o u n d t h e s i t e, t y p i c a l elevations of these residential buildings reflect climate of coastal area. Small openings and wood p a n e l s a re u s e d to re s i s t strong wind in some critical weather conditions. However, these small openings are not allowed suitable sunlight caming into interior space of building.

AXONOMETRIC VIEW OF ASSEMBLY
The compound leaves of sensitive plant fold inward and droop when touched or shaken. In a similar logic, what if the building envelope could be folded and unfolded according to different and specific situations, such as before and after typhoon to protect building.
EXPLORATION OF FOLDING SURFACES
1. Folding surface in a one direction, but lacking of flexibility in other directions.
2. Twisting surface to get more possibilities, but is not easy to build in reality.
3. Creating folding surfaces to enclose space in four directions, but these triangular spaces are not comfortable and have many spaces wasted for devices.
4. Simplify the former surface. What if folded surface could be a shading devices and be unfolded to protect typhoon. 03

SAILING Middle School Design in Galveston, Texas Instructor: Steven P. Turnpseed Location: Galveston, Texas, USA Date: May 2015
This project is designed for the new Pier 20 S.T.E.A.M. Charter Middle School in Galveston, Texas. The 66,000 sq. ft. building will accommodate 300 students (grades 6-8) who have chosen this school for its rigorous academic program in science, math , engineering,and techology uniquely combined with arts. According to the density of surrounding area, an exicting site that extended south into ocean was considered as a suitable location for this project to avoid of movement of other existing builin

DIALOG TO THE ANCIENT Historical Museum Design in Fuzhou, China
Instructor: Location: Date:
Fei Ma Fuzhou China December 2012
This museum is located at the area of historical preservation in Fuzhou, China. This area is called "Three Lanes and Seven Alleys", is the well preserved architectural complex of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, these critical features will effect our decision of the new museum in the center part of this area. I foulnd that not only the functions of skywell is very helpful for us to make full use of this ancient wisdom, but also the materials and elevation analysis will help us to be exposed to the environment of a dialog to the ancient.
SKETCHS FROM THE SITE
PRESENT SITUATION
Street elevation is long and occupy too much space in linear.
O p e n s p a c e s fo r lanes and skywell
Trees are just planted by street, and do not have activities with publics.
Create spaces vertically to leave more space for public. And Organize building elements in vertically.
O p e n s p a c e s fo r viewing
Trees are assigned in plaza to creat space that allow people to gather.

BUILDING EXPERIENCES
1. Perspective from secondary entrance Building grow from small volumn to big volumn and intersect together. Introducing human scale to large space of museumn.
2. Perspective from east elevation Two openings showing interactions from exterior space to interior space
3. Perspective of roof Visitors can watch surrounding area from upper level
4. Perspective from entrance plaza Architectural language interact with traditional buildings, and combine with green space to show more dynamic space. 23
