Enlighten Warehouse Foundation for Diaspora Music The project’s goal is to design a music center supports four globally repositioned ethnic musical band leaders in residence for a year, and provides them with apartments for living, rehearsal rooms for Internet-streamed cross-cultural experimentation, and performance rooms for public performances. The program includes spaces for each ethnic cohort to gather to observe their music being made while cooking and eating ethnic foods associated with
their particular diaspora community. Music and architecture has long relationship between each other. The concept of this foundation is to create a continuous space to enhance the connection between different musicians, performance and public, in order to increase sharing thoughts and cultural inoculation. At the same time to properly provide private space for the musician for individual creation and living.

Unveil the Kotinos Roma Comunity ring design competition roma has a myriad of historical treasures. The architecture landmarks are well known in the world. Comparing to the grace of remarkable church, this forte kept quiet and unknown to the people. To start designing I need to ask myself: what attracts people like to visit new place. I believe people love to travel because of the unique energy people get from the travel destination. Different space has different energy, like the qi you absorb in when practice Chinese taichi. in this design I try to discover the qi in this hidden garden and unveil it to the visitor. The
surrounding buildings provide hostage for traveller and plentiful creations and services for both visitors and local communities. In the center of the forte will provide a place to spirit away. People who step into the fort will enjoy myriads of art events, music, and good food. This military building never fulfills its original mission but will give a place to escape from city and linger in the moment.
Interior Space Long Tunnels and trusses form the interior spaces; tunnels interconnect eachother, make the space very accessable;
Tunnel to the roof Very bad light condition; Have very small vault louver to enable skylight come into building.
