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, rehersal rooms for internet-streamed cross-cultural experimentation, and performance rooms for public performances. The program includes spaces for each ethnic cohort to gather to oberve their music being made while cooking and eating ethnic foods associated wth their particular diaspora community. Music and architecture has long relationship between each other. The concept of this foundation is to creat a continous space to enhence the connection between different musicians, performance and public, in order to increase sharing thoughts and cultural inosculation. At the same time to approperly provide private space for the musician for individual creation and living.

Food Culture
Brazilian cuisine has European, and African influences. It varies greatly by region, reflecting the country’s mix of native and immigrant populations, and its continental size as well. This has created a national cuisine marked by the preservation of regional differences. Ingredients first used by native peoples in Brazil include cassava, guaraná, açaí, cumaru and tacacá. From there, the many waves of immigrants brought some of their typical dishes, replacing missing ingredients with local equivalents.
Colonial Culture
The core of Brazilian culture is derived from the culture of Portugal. traditions, as well as those from other Western European countries.
Music Culture
The music of Brazil encompasses various regional music styles influenced by African, European and Amerindian forms.
PARADOX RADIO FLYER OFFICE DESIGN
In order to create a interdicipline working environment and also playful, I took concept from the impossible object From the drawing of M.C. Escher. His waterfall illustrated a interconnected loop that alows connection in different levels. This quality is also essential in this project that different functions and working process need to interact.
SITE ANALYSIS
INSPIRATION The aim is to create an office environment that is alive, that facilitated interatcion and that doesn’t draw any distinctions between working and living. The employees make the decission of what work pace, work form and workplace is right for the task at hand: concentrated work or communicating; standing or sitting; office chair or sofa. The employees have many options to choose from, and when everything in within easy reach, it is not a problem to quickly switch between these options either.

A Jurney Of Music Piano Factory and Auditorium
Project Narative Design a piano center in Printers Row neighborhood for a company that is organized such that it builds pianos by hand as they are ordered. Besides workshops where the piano parts will be crafted and assembled, the building will house a recording studio, practice rooms and a small auditorium. Propose a solution that draws a connection with this existing neighborhood amenity as one strategy towards creating a facility that contributes in a positive way to the neighborhood. Pursue the idea of a manufacturing facility as an amenity to the vibrant city neighborhood. Through the development of the architecture and the program, the project should function as a public place.

Project description This project’s goal is to design a facility belong to SAIC campus,which spread in loop area in Chicago. This facility will be a node of the city campus that provides communication, study, and network surfing space. Strangers can have a cup of coffee here and feel comfortable. A laptop plugged or un-plugged, talk a collaborator through another deadline with a mobile-clenched-posture while glancing sideways to mail or news online. The space also includes exhibition space that runs art show or fashion shows. It directly link to the varied modal options of an integrated transport system.
