River Des Peres Velodrome Location: St.Louis, MO, USA Year: 2020 Instructor: Julie Bauer
Project Description: In Design Thinking which is the thesis preparation before degree project. I did a review of the practice of making curved form building inside and outside St.Louis including significant works of Eero Saarinen and Gyo Obata---representative figure of the mid-century modernism trend locally. After categorizing the interior and exterior reasons, forces and mehtods of doing curves, and interviewing with local cycling training coach and members from Lindenwood University in St.Louis. the conclusion is that the necessity and sufficiency of creating curved form building can be justified when it serves for supposed actions, in this setting, the conclusive action is track bike cycling. Ideally, program, structure system, building system, environmental system, urban landscape can become one continous thing. The proposal of the new indoor velodrome in St.Louis would archieve the goal as such.

01. Levitation_611 Optional studio_2019 Spring Project description: Throughout human history we have obsessed with the notion of levitation within our cultural mythologies, religions and science fiction. Also the phenomenon of defying gravity has been the fascination of optical and perceptual manipulation within the arts and entertainment industries. But what will happen if we were able to harness the power to resist gravity and what would the built environment look like? Would we be able to respond to the larger issues of global warming and flooding of cities? How could we affect the building industry that can counter react to the vast destructions of earthquakes and its unstable seismic wave movements on the surface of the earth? These challenges need to be experimented through creative solution and inventions of new forms of architecture. Architecture, Landscape architecture, and Urban design has always relied upon building from ground up, but faith has it we will need to build the future from top down if we were to survive on the surface of the earth for next thousand years. Title: Urban Forest Location: Chicago, IL, USA Year: 2019 Instructor: Sungho Kim
Project description: The morphosis of the textile library is to grad the essential fabric characteristics lively to the public, it create smooth and continous space inside and outside responding to the light and noise condition on site. The "fabric" or "textile" is not merely a metaphor, it is tool and reference, it works with the ceiling, walls and the bookshelf detecting reader actions and represent it to city views, shaping spaces and curating a feeling of mystery within multiple perspectives, conditions, at the same moment.

Biodiversity
Material Local Amphibians The remaining material of the worshops Local grass
It is convenient for wheel chair and offer good value of ornament
It is easy to grow and have good ornamental value and can provide a feeling of desolated and wide indurstrial ruins.
Local grass
Remains of ruins
The porosity of the gravel make penetration possible. and provide rough texture to create a feeling of outside the big city.
Mammals on site
Local birds
Grass grow near Chan River
This kind of grass offers a simple and reliable solution to storm water management through bio-filtration,infiltration and storage while not sacrificing valuable site.
To keep the feeling of desolated and wide indursrial ruins.
The Rain Garden not only can collect the rain water for flowers but also provide habitat for micro-animals and some typical amphibians,such as Bufo gargarizans, B．raddei,Eremias argus and so on.
The secondary succession forests can provide habitats for Erinaceus europaeus and Lepus capensis,they are all local animals that are endangered and rarely to be seen in cities.
The secondary succession forests reserved as a habitats as well as the stepping stone of local birds such as Ciconia nigra,Ardea cinerea
Vilnius National Concert Hall Architectural Design Competition
Poject description: Participants of the architectural competition will be asked to design a building, two concert halls, spaces for lounge bars, a spacious lobby with a breath-taking view of the city, and premises for any other cultural activities. The new building should accommodate up to 1,700 people in the big hall and 500 people in the small hall. Our proposal primarily respond to the urban axis and divide the building into two volumes resemble "two rocks" on the hill, consistently, biting "worm holes" to manipulate light condition for those without sounds restrictions to rendering an atmosphere of tranquility. By designing the "grand ramps and stairs" to sit into the landscape and create a space for all,which also act as "linking bridge" between two concert halls.
