PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
The journey of my bachelor degree in architecture design is one adven-
turous one that discovers the direction of my design philosophy as well as style, project by project. From urban scale design to architecture, then to interior design, every step regardless of its size is itself a new opportunity and challenge to me, to guide me towards my design philosophy. This journey, as it furthers, I find myself walking down this avenue of “relationships”, the kind of relationships between human, architecture and the environment. And on this path, I can vaguely see the end of the avenue, where architecture seems to be sitting in the centre of this rhizomic relationship. As this is how I understand, by elevating the architecture is when the sublimation of human and environment arise.
I believe that architecture is a responsible not only to those it accommodate,
architecture ought to response to its surroundings; Architecture improves people’s life, while solving critical issues of its environment. Thus, I am intrigued by the notions brought up by Kenneth Frampton – critical regionalism, and the oeuvres done by some remarkable architects on this very land, including Glenn Murcutt. Such belief becomes my compass in the path of creating valuable dialogues between architecture, people and environment.
These three years of journey really did have me thinking lots on environ-
ment while designing. Renewable resources, energy efficiency, carbon footprint, healthy living environment, and so forth, have become phrases that imprint in my mind. As a future architect, there is no other way but to design sustainably if one cares about people and environment, I believe. Architecture is not just merely a pursuit of aesthetical contentment nor solely a functional meeting operation. To me, it is all about the perfect balance between the combination of sensibility and rationality.

CONNECTIVITY
PORTFOLIO
The stone building was a railway workshop, a tram is still running through the Inveresk site. According to the analysis of the site context and combine the city scale plan, there is a need to utilize a new tram station to connect the site & the artery road, which is “Invermay road”. Then the location of the stone building site, the new tram route, the existing bridge, and the new proposed bridge will allow the stone building have very strong interaction with Launceston CBD area.The connection and interaction is important, because the goal of the project is to make the stone building become a “ future workplace" that with a healthy and balanced work environment, it is not only for the local community, such as student, teacher, and staff who work in UTAS, it is also open for visitors from outside of Tasmania, including foreign business people to use.
DESIGN CONCEPT
SITE ANALYSIS
The main concept is about interaction, both human-space interaction and also human-technology interaction.
PUBLIC ACTIVIES AND TARGET POPULATION
For the human-space interaction, the right side diagram shows the spirally-vortex-like screens communicate the inside and outside, as well as the change in materials between screen inside and outside. The next human- space interaction was done by emphasizing the two most sensitive human senses, which are visual and auditory senses. Look at the cafe area render, imagine someone is playing the soothing piece on the piano, the smell of coffee and soft clinking noise form café at the background, those who work at the upstairs workspace will feel much more relaxed and unrestrained. While on the other hand, those enclose spaces are the spaces that look out into ground floor filled with public flow, almost like a nature scene, water running though beneath where you stand. Moreover, there are several corners designed for human interaction opportunities. For example the reading staircase space, connecting the different floor level also allow people freely share their book and have interesting unpredictable interaction.The bridge can create more interaction between each part of the first floor and also some of the main collaboration areas have been set up for human interaction.

DESIGN CONCEPT In terms of human–technology interaction, there are 3 aspects included. First one is led light that follow human motion along track, this is also the 1:10 detail that I developed. The details showing that the glass floor panels allow the display of railway track and the Light penetration. People will see of the railway track, usually, they cannot see the underground part of the track, but I bring it out, allows people see more detail of the track and feel the heritage. Second one is the cable car above the railway used to transport people on first floor in horizontal direction; Convenient for people with disabilities and also cable cars can be use as extremely private meeting stations. It also creates a very interesting interaction between heritage and the future technology.
PORTFOLIO
The third technology is sustainable energy floor modules. Carly see the section，you will found some of the floor level is higher or the areas have timber and carpet finish, which are the area that ESF models have been applied .The floor modules flex slightly when stepped on. And converts the kinetic energy of people’s footsteps to electrical power for the stone building to use.

MATERIALS SELECTION
! RED OCHRE COLOUR WALL PAINT FOR ABORIGINAL STUDIO! RED COLOUR FABRIC
Using copper mesh to create the outdoor gallery，allow people easily find out that the building has been redesigned from the outside. The metal mesh cover allows people have a new impression of the stone building, but Transparency and penetration still allow the people feel the old material of the building. And the colour of the copper is similar to the colour of indigenous people’s traditional painting material red ocher. Red ocher colour paint also has been used to the wall of the Aboriginal studio, it allows the visitors to feel the power of the aborigine culture. The use of other materials is toward industrial style to create a familiar feeling as railway workshop. And light colour timber flooring and blue carpet are used to help create a bright and open working environment. Under the timber and carpet finish are the SEF panels.

02 THE AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM
The site is located in Launceston, Tasmania. The city has a cool temperate climate,
with obviously four distinct seasons. According to the analysis of local climate and environment, this project adopted the passive solar heating design. For example, the ground floor glazing facade appropriate set back to avoid get excessive direct solar radiation in summerďźŒbut still allow winter sun warm the building. Similarly, in order to avoid direct sunlight get into the building, all the upper floor windows are installed vertical timber batten screen and roller adjustable shading system to reduce solar heat gain and achieving thermally comfortable.

Using shed roofs and adjusting the angle of the roofs to form a patchwork building facade makes the building more vivid, lively and different from the surrounding residences which will attract people to this center.
DESIGN ANALYSIS Linear organisation adapted to the site and shaped to the outdoor space. TEXT SCHEME Scheme 1: Linear1 organisation Clustered organisation is like a village and is shaped by a central courtyard. TEXT SCHEME 2 organisation Scheme2: Clustered
Different angles of shed roofs combined with the flat roof and some skylights will allow more natural light get into the buildings. FINAL SCHEME: A combination of both scheme 1 and scheme 2 with added axis to the regularization.This allows buildings to grow by the shape of the site and the three outdoor activities area.

BUILDING MATERIAL SELECTION
Brick

Metal
The site is located in Launceston and is surrounded by many residential buildings. The buildings in Launceston tend to mainly use brick and wood as the primary construction material. As such most of the houses around the site have brick as their main material. In this design, the main buildings have red brick walls and white print roofs which integrates the buildings to look and feel like a part of the local architecture. Glass walls and roof, bay windows and skylights are added to more strongly connect the indoor and outdoor space. e external walls of the Apartment building uses timber cladding with a white facade roof. e brick, timber, and white roof make a strong visual contrast without seeming too abrupt.

DETAIL DESIGN
A cafe interior detail design project
- through the meticulous details design and materials selection to achieve a good, comfortable and healthy indoor environment, especially energy efficiency, daylight control, acoustic and artificial light are considered in the design.
Project Location: Launceston,TAS,AU
PORTFOLIO MATERIALS SELECTION The materials using for the cafe was under sustainable consideration with higher energy efficiency. The floor material of eating and counter area is sustainable regeneration Tasmania timber, the light-colored timber floors can help to improve the brightness of the entire space and increase the energy efficiency of the lighting. The reading area is applied silentstop underlay cover with carpet; those materials can effectively reduce the transmission of footfall and noise, to create a quieter reading environment. Within the food preparation zone has light limestone countertop ，it can help brighten up space which helps reduce the wattage of the lighting source to decrease the power density of the electrical lighting.
SECTION A-A SCALE 1:100
The main building materials are plasterboard，timber，black and white metal and light-color limestone. Simple materials match purpose to create an industrial style cafe, but the entire space still got a kind of comfortable casual feeling under the lighting effect.

The cafe has four core sections - eating zone, reading zone and counter and kitchen. Filled with natural light, the bright and airy eating zone design can provide a relaxing and casual experience for breakfast and lunch.in addition, using a bright warm white artificial down light as the nighttime primary lighting source and the warmer color wall lamps for contrast adds a comfortable and leisurely atmosphere to allow guests to be more calm and relaxed to enjoy the coffee and food. A glass wall with acoustic performance 35db is used as a sound barrier to separate the eating and reading zone. Moving into the reading zone, the atmosphere changes from a relaxed and warm eating area to a bright reading environment. The reading zone has the adjustable horizontal louvers allow the user to more conveniently adjust daylight to achieve the most suitable lighting environment for reading. For nighttime use, it has numerous of bright pendant lights to help create a private feeling.
