A framework system has been designed to enable the substitution of different planes and facades, aiming to minimize the variety of components as much as possible.

I was involved in collaborative architectural concept development, ensuring design's systematic and flexible nature. I coordinated with structural engineers, material suppliers, and construction teams, utilizing digital tools like Unreal Engine and Grasshopper to optimize design and construction preparation. Importantly, I also reported directly to investors, enhancing my project management skills and understanding of architectural digitization and parametric design.

The plans on the left side demonstrate the variations in layout under the same structural system. This is made possible by the systematic design of the primary framework, secondary framework, interior wall panels, and exterior wall panels.

Similarly, owing to the functionality of independent wall panels, users have more customization space. These panels can be disassembled and replaced either individually or in series, with a choice of different materials and textures like metal, wood, and concrete, thus achieving a rich facade effect.

The modular design of interior and exterior wall panels significantly enhances the building's performance in waterproofing, insulation, and soundproofing. This strategic separation not only elevates the aesthetic quality of the exterior but also ensures a comfortable and serene interior ambiance. By integrating functionality with design, this approach offers a harmonious blend of form and utility, creating spaces that are both visually striking and eco-friendly.

Customization options for the interior's color scheme and style offer flexibility, embracing a minimalist and elegant aesthetic that fosters a serene and cohesive environment.

22Fall This project outlines the methodical exploration of how a seemingly unattainable concept could be realized.

Demonstrated the ability to draw drawings for the basic fundamentals of architecture. we've deepened our understanding of architectural drawings, structural principles, evacuation flow, and construction methodologies. This wealth of knowledge informs our process, ensuring the creation of a building that is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing.

The space of Hub 1 evolves from platform spaces into a solid platform, surrounding an atrium installation. At the bottom is a garden space, providing the necessary openness and transparency for students to study, discuss, and relax in the atrium space, fostering open communication and relaxation.

Hub 1 inherits the concept of transparency from the platform, but it features a soaring atrium that serves as both a circulation space and a place for learning and reading. Students can engage in informal learning here, and the inspiring interactive space can encourage creativity and inspiration.
