Little Italy Site Map 1:10000
V I A 450 Little Italy Situated in Centertown West, Little Italy is a culture center of Ottawa’s Italian Community since 1900. Many art activities are host in the neighborhood in order to celebrate the culture every year. Recently, due to the service improvement for the O train Trillium Line, various new housing developments are proposed and approved at the south end of the neighborhood for building a high density community. Because of the rapid change of the local demographics, little Italy is slowly losing its culture identity.
5
The design concept of VIA 450 is to maintain characteristics of the neighborhood while embracing new changes in the community. The design approach is expressed through building materials and shapes, with those a dynamic internal space is created for hosting community activities while the exterior facing façades still fit into the community. Workshops and gallery space are created in order to introduce the culture of the community to future residents.

Site Map of Downtown Ottawa 1: 5000
Adaptive Reuse of Former American Ebassy 100 Wellington is the former American Ebassy that located right across to the Parliament Hill, which is the home of Parliament of Canada. In this project, the vacant heritage building will be redesigned to a Canada House.
With the influence of the parliamentary motif of the rotunda, the maple tree embedded within the center of the sloped entrance resembles the motion of connecting the public to the private crown.
The design concept of Canada House is to break the private notion of the current institutional buildings along Wellington Street. By understanding the threshold between the public green space and the official crown, the idea of flowing through the greenery is conceptualized throughout the design.
With respect towards the original heritage building, the new addition is built in a contemporary manner with the same material. By having the exterior panels perforated, the patterns of the shapes resemble the symbol of the water waves referenced from the rotunda.

Axonometric Plan Entrance The main entrance design comes from the rotunda in parliament hill. The tree locates in the center of the ramp grows from basement level to ground level of Wellington street resembles the rotunda in Parliament Hill. The ramp brings people from Wellington Street to the entrance of Canada house and to Spark Street through basement level. Thus the addition is connected to the 100 Wellington without obstructing the view in front of the library of Parliament.

loka-hteik-pan temple Conservation Professional Work with group bagan myanmar 2016

Project Background
Bagan is the capital city of the first Myanmar Kingdom that more than 2500 Buddhist monuments, including temples, stupas, and monasteries were built from 10th to the 14th centuries AD. Some of these temples are still highly honored by the people and numerous pilgrims from all over Myanmar come to visit every year. However, after hundreds of years, many of the monuments undergo natural weathering that many temples have been damaged poorly. Loka-Theik-Pan was founded in 1125 and the temple is known for the interior painted inscriptions which contains
the oldest documents in the Old Burmese language. Due to the heritage, architectural and historical value of the temple, digital documentation of the character defining elements and condition assessment of the temple are needed. The digital documentation work was finished before the damage of the temple casued by earthquake in August 2016. During this project, i participated in measuring and documenting the condition assessment and character defining elements of this temple, as well as producing East and South facade elevation drawing.

kemper pavilion Academic Work 11 Briarcliffe Ottawa 2016

Project Background Briarcliffe Neighborhood and Proposed Design Briarcliffe is one of Ottawa’s heritage conservation districts for its contribution on residential modernism; however, there is not a lot of people are aware of the heritage values of the neighborhood. Designing a bus pavilion in front of the neighborhood helps with advertising the heritage value of Briarcliffe.
The design of the pavilion comes from the hyperbolic parabolic curve roof of Kemper House. By layering one vertical element along the hyperbolic paraboloid curve, the structure creates a sense of floating. Beside the bus shelter, a wooden board performs as the information board for displaying the information of Briarcliffe for people who do not know the heritage value of the neighborhood.

Digital Documentation of the Boathouse The Ottawa New Edinburgh Club Boathouse is a two and a half storey wooden building that is designated as Federal Heritage Building due to its historical, architectural and environmental values.
Scene Software. In phase 2, Autodesk Recap and AutoCAD are used in order to generate the required drawings for future conservation planning. For this project, I was in charge of laser scanning the Boathouse with my colleagues and register the point cloud model for producing ortho photos. With the ortho photos, I produced south and east elevation drawing.
The purpose of this project is to create architectural plan of the boathouse by means of laser scanning and other digital technologies. The point cloud model is produced in phase 1, which includes scanning the heritage building using laser scanner and register the point cloud model using Faro

Seasonal Posters In summer 2017, I worked at Ottawazine Globe Inc as a graphic designer. The purpose of designing those four posters is to introduce seasonal activities in Ottawa to new coming international students. The design concept comes
from Chinese characters, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Combining the Chinese characters with diagrams, different activities are clearly shown in four seasons through the posters. 26

The inspiration of this drawing is based on a deconstruction of a modern designed store in Ottawa. The drawing pictures the future development over the ruin of the store. 27
Parallel Living Borders separate people from each other, people from animals, and people from nature. Every wall and every building participates in spatial separation that defines difference boundary between different groups, as we are living in different worlds. Murray Murray Competition 2017
