The old Croton aqueduct has been decommissioned for over a century. Existing NYC cemeteries will reach capacity in the next 20 years. Forgotten underground tunnels provide space for an urban archive of human remains. Light counteracts the underground darkness in an archive that shifts and fills across centuries. Water bears significant meaning in ritual and religious beliefs—its varied qualities offer comfort and emotional resonance.

As a byproduct of resomation. Returning sacred water to the aqueduct symbolizes infinite connection with past generations. The flow of time heals loss; the flow of water aids in letting go. Responding to contextual circumstance, the archive is zoned for different stages of mourning. Immersion in the tunnel is an intimate experience with family. Emergence is a moment of release.

Critic: Kate Orff, GSAPP, Columbia University Site Location: Wastewater Treatment 145St, New York, US. Project Program: Factory, Artificial Islands , Park Program Used: Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, 3D Studio Max, Autocad, CNC, Adobe Photoshop and Illustator.
The priority of this design is to transform the conceptions of urban waterfront to include an emphasis on soft infrastructure, robust marine habitat, and new forms of programming and enegy. The design strategy of this project is to reuse the by-product from Wastewater treatment plant and the dredge soil from the bottom of the river. We can produce new types of landscape units by combining these two types of soil.

There are four types of island that made by sludge and dredge, the first one is soft shoreline which locted along the waterfront, the second one is floating island which design for water filtration, the third one is mollusk farming which provides different kinds of mollusk habitation that increases the diversity of animals and plants in the river, and the fourth one is fixed island which is a new landform that can be transform through time.

A multifunctional building contains market spaces and emergency equipment that can be operated while it floods. The program of the building can be changed to suit different situations. This project is located in Tainan, Taiwan. This area has been flooded many times. There are five old houses remain in the site. The design strategy of this project derives from a proverb. To decode the proverb and make use to the site.

After considering the identification of the problems of the site that there are tombs in the south mountain and the water level is about +10M in the east. The site will become a concave area and the backwater will not be drainage through the new river. We need to provide a storing reservoir by constructing the old river and the site that could become a new status with new water level. The new building could be seen as a hybrid concept of a market and an new kind of urban infrastructure.

The priority of this assignment attempts to create Taiwan Tower in two directions: 1.To discover new function of Taiwan Tower. 2.To unveil the essence of Taiwan.
The design strategy of this project approaches
The specific site is surrounded by multilateral edges of the central park, cultural districts, academic corridors, and commercial areas. For years, Taichung city has expanded as more and more outer rings were formed. And the Taiwan Tower is currently situated at the 4rd ring.
define the material, shape, and structure of
the design of Taiwan Tower with selecting a few iconic Taiwanese to discover the ultimate spirit of Taiwan. This approach not only helps Taiwan Tower, but also how the Tower is elevated. Of which the Taiwan Tower is characterized: suppleness and stiff, diverse and dynamics, persistence and unswerving determination.

The execution of this project is based on two major considerations: 1. The primary of the project is intended to create connections between nature and artifact. We try to build a public open space between the nature sceneries and the bike ways. 2. The design task is to build a toilet facility with a recreation area for the tourists and local inhabitants. Because the project has many characteristics, with crossed

overlapped, and various functional spaces. We use the bearing wall system to maximize interior space and use wood beams to lighten the weight of the roof. It is based on the specific concern that contributes to the nature environment. We use the solar energy system to create power and maintain the river water to flush the toilet. It is not simply a toilet facility, but rather brings a bigger idea about establishing a public space that enhances the interaction of this area.

This interior design is focus on material and spacial continuity in space. The major material are concrete, wood and black iron. Living room and kitchen are separated by bar space, in order to emphasize the continuity, there is no solid wall in between it. The owner wants turn his home into a social space, so friends can get together in his place. The bar area becomes the center. We try to create vintage atmosphere by keeping the original concrete wall and add the wood floor to convey

Bed and bath room is being separated by a glass wall, maximize transparency in the same space. Study room also functioned as audio room, how much does the owner love life are obvious conveyed by this design. C’est la vie.
