01 Theatrical Sacredness through Taming the Nature A Nature-Sensitive Experience Center 2017 Fall Option Studio The Sensory Field of the Native Environment Location: Page, AZ Instructor: Wendy Teo Collaborator: Junyi Ding My Work: Site Research, Conceptual and Architectural Design, Grasshopper + Rhino 3D Modeling, Raw Rendering, Axometric Section Drawings, SketcFab Real-time VR Experience Setting The subtle relationship of Nature and human-made nature has always been a topic. The Project is about imitating nature and reproduce the sensory field from the antelope valley. The walls are designed not solid, simulating the soil property on the site, is sensitive to nature and can be eroded by the water flow. The river is designed to be able to flow through the project so the underground space made by human will be filled with sediment, so the human-made space will be given back to nature. The design is not only about the spacial experience for visitors but also a conversation about man-made environment and nature. The material of the wall undertakes the medium of the dialogue.

02 The Wave Ice Skating Stadium SCUT 2016 Fall Option Studio 2022 Winter Olympic Stadium Location: Beijing, China Instructor: Yimin Sun Individual Work Located on the northern side of the Beijing Olympic Center, the purpose of the design is to make the venue a connector into the logic of the site, the communication of green spaces, residential areas and large-scale buildings. At the same time in the form of intent to reflect the characteristics of the curve of the ice skating movement charm.

Site Analyze

A - The warm-up site differs from the main ice surface in terms of the appropriate span of the structure.

concept model

B - The two ice surfaces are brought together and the two structures are merged and graded on a scale. C - The integrated angle is adjusted so the building's scale has been reduced, taking up less space.

03 Bilateral Spectrum An Affordable Housing + Water + Community GSAPP 2018 Summer Option Studio Fuzzy Symmetry Location: Roosevelt Island, New York, NY Instructor: Daisy Ames Collaborator: Yutong Li My Work: Site Investigating, Conceptual and Architectural Design, Axometric Section Modeling and Drawing, Model Making Following a collective examination of the city’s affordable housing shortage and fatigued water management systems, we proposed this housing project on Roosevelt Island which simultaneously pushed back on existing models of living and outdated water management systems. The Bilateral Spectrum proposal promotes gathering and interaction between young and elderly populations with a winding pathway throughout the site alongside pocket spaces that support a variety of activities. The concept of bilateral symmetry was applied as a tool to inform their design of the site's main axis, pathways, and water management system. Bilateral symmetry is a design tool that we have used in three ways: as the main axis,as the path, and for water. The axis in the Roosevelt Island becomes fluid, allowing the two areas to communicate with each other. The new axis is a path in the site. Lots of “pockets” are arranged along the path, where a variety of activities could happen. Then the public areas for entertainment was defined. Each area has a different feature in water. We are using the axis and the path in different ways of symmetry. We use the main axis to mirror solid buildings into solid and we use the path to mirror solid buildings into patio.

04 Hopi Shelter A City Container GSAPP 2019 Spring Option Studio America Deserta Location: Hopi Reservation, AZ Instructor: Kersten Geers, Andrea Zanderigo Individual Work Lucille Smyser Lowenfish Memorial Prize The studio is to design something in the middle of nowhere - the desert. Each design in the studio is an enormous one single building that can contain the whole city. In Geer’s term, a "vacuum cleaner" that can absorb all the existing environment into one form, becoming a practical utopia. Spiral and Concentric Circles are one of the symbols in Hopi culture. In their origin story, They are instructed to walk to the world's farthest corners, to learn the earth with their feet and to find their Central Place. Supported by a set of concrete skeleton and covered with transformable textile. In response to the climate, this design can act as a shelter for the city inside. With openings at the bottom and at the top center, this structure also helps ventilation in the area, letting in cool air from the bottom and hot air goes up and away, creating a comfortable breeze in it. The concentric circle in the plan starts to divide different function of the city - the outer circle for transportation, a ring of housing, then cultivation, and then an area for all the infrastructure like the hospital, schools and so on. concept model

05 Labor, Govern, $ Museum of the ILO GSAPP 2018 Fall Option Studio Concept and Authorship - World Museum Block Location: Manhattan, New York, NY Instructor: Bernard Tschumi Collaborator: Jie Hu My Work: Conceptual and Architectural Design, Grasshopper + Rhino 3D Modeling, Raw Rendering, Collaging, Section Perspective Drawings, Physical Modeling

The International Labour Organization (ILO) has a tripartite governing structure that brings together governments, employers, and workers. The ratio of representatives of the three-part is not equal (2:1:1) and the reality is that the labor is still undergoing a lot of problems. By revealing the chaos under the seemingly well-organized envelope, we also want to criticize and propose a future of equality between the three parts. We tried to translate the notion of labour into architectural language. Different geometries represent stakeholders in the play.When geometry meets, some may compromise and some may manipulate the other. In this way, they starts â&#x20AC;&#x153;negotiatingâ&#x20AC;? the program. The path is a protagonist in the program who goes through and links up all the circumstances, from the ground level to the top floor.

06 The New Era Theremin Interactive Music Arranger SCUT 2017 Spring Option Studio Location: Guangzhou, China Instructor: Gang Song Collaborator: Yifan Deng, Mengyu Wu, Xianfan Yang, Xinyu Yan My Work: Visual Programming using vvvv, Leap Motion Programming, Graphic&Animation Design, Gesture Design, Construction, Video Editing Since we are now entering a Post-digital age, material that makes up space can also be things without entity property, such as the light. The installation of an interactive arranger shown is a small attempt to the digitally augmented environment. The installation provides a interactive environment that is responsive to specific human movements, can affect the pattern and music of the environment. With or without the installation, the property of the space is altered from a monotonous room to an activated one, the light is the medium and the trigger of the space.

07 Cylinder Maze One Type, Two Projects - Home & Co-working Space 2017 Winter Option Studio Redefining the Concept of Thresholds in Architecture Individual Work To what extent can the limits of the building be simplified? Can architectural elements be simplified to just "cylinders"? To what extent can "cylinder" be presented in a building? Can an program be previously decided in a certain kind of system that creating the form, without the consideration of function, and then let a certain kind of suited function to be injected into the system? Taking the inspiration from Yayoi Kusama's polka dots art works from different periods, the system is made up with a three dimensional version of the polka dots——a repetition and variation of vertical column-like constructions. So different layers of space are created. Larger columns derive into space instead of merely structure, and sequences of columns which is another form of breathing wall , bringing light and space. When a small-scale cylinder is used as a structural component in the usual sense, a medium-sized cylinder is given some furniture function by me, while a larger-sized cylinder becomes the space itself and provides a new layer for the whole system —— A space.

08 Cantilever Chair A Generative Process for Optimized Design GSAPP 2019 Spring Selective Generative Design Instructor: Danil Nagy Collaborator: Guangyu Wang My Work: Conceptual Design, Grasshopper + Rhino 3D Modeling, GH Scripting, Animation, Chart Drawing,

1. Geometry boundary

2. Define outer nodes

Generative Process Available Here Our goal is to design a chair by creating a cantilever structure in such way that maximizes stiffness and stability while ensuring that no members exceed their structural capacity. The "intuitive" solution in our design space is a chair constructed with a normal truss with inner nodes evenly distributed in the centerline of the geometry. After the process of computation design, we found a better solution which is lighter and less displacement, at the same time the utilization rate of every component doesn’t exceed 50%.

09 Event It! A Hand Inspired Model Planning Tool GSAPP 2018 Fall Selective META TOOL Instructor: Dan Taeyoung Collaborator: Shuang Bi My Work: Conceptual and Design, Grasshopper + Rhino 3D Modeling, Grasshopper Scripting / Debugging If design always happening in a medium, what the medium usually is? For our modern people, it’s always on the computer screen. Hand drawing, drafting, physical modeling are gradually getting away from many of us. Inevitably, digital modeling brings a lot of convenience and new options, but it also let our primitive tools - hands, being left out a little. The motion of cutting, pasting, measuring, drafting, rotating fulfilled by feeling and touching had been substituted by dull operations on keyboard and mouse, turns into array, offset, boolean and 3d print. We are trying to bring an experimental environment that is both high efficiency and "hand - inspired", which can finally alter the design output. Developed in grasshopper with the support of PaperHopper, a medium for prototyping new architectural design tool. A tool which can turn design process from the daily staring the 3d modeling software in the screen, hitting keyboard and clicking mouse to play with body and hands on a physical table environment. An event planning tool which user can select and arrange furniture from the side and put into multiple spaces. Criteria under each space turn from red to green if a certain condition is satisfied.

10 Bandshell An Easy-Carry Shelter GSAPP 2018 Fall Selective Transformable Design Methods Instructor: Matthew Davis Collaborator: Danielle Nir, Liu Chewei, Minjung Ku, Yifang Zuo, Chenxian Wu, Mengxi Liang, Xiaoxuan Su, Suheng Li, Yating Yang, Anqi Liang My Work: Parametric Design, Grasshopper + Rhino 3D Modeling, Constructing Drawings, Constructing A transformable structure that could provide ample shelter while rapidly and efficiently being deployed. With this in mind, our team decided to design a rapidly deployable bandshell for performances. To achieve this goal our design had to incorporate multiple key elements – it had to be lightweight, structurally supportive and portable while being visually interesting. Our vision foresees this structure being used as a stage for performances in natural settings, such as musical festivals or parks. The design also provides opportunities to incorporate performance lighting systems along the inside of the arched ribs.

11 Section of Long Museum A study into Long Museum and Manual of Section GSAPP 2019 Spring Selective Seminar of Section Instructor: Marc Tsurumaki Individual Work

Long Museum West Bund / Shanghai, China Long Museum West Bund is located at the bank of Huangpu River, Xuhui District, Shanghai Municipality, the site of which was used as the wharf for coal transportation. Before the commencement of the design, a Coal-Hopper-Unloading-Bridge of about 110m in length, 10m in width and 8m in height, which was constructed in the 1950s, is remained with a two-storey underground parking completed as early as two years ago.

Atelier Deshaus / 2014 The new design adopts the cantilever structure featuring “vault-umbrella” with independent walls while the shear walls with free layout are embedded into the original basement so as to be concreted with the original framework structure. With the shear walls, the first underground floor of the original parking has been transformed to an exhibition space with the overground space highlighting multiple orientations because of the relative connection of the “vault-umbrella” at different directions; besides, the electrical & mechanical system has been integrated in the “vault-umbrella” structure.
