Bilateral Spectrum Yifan Deng, Yutong Li
Summer 2018 | AAD "Fuzzy Symmetry" Studio Led by Daisy Ames
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 Spectrum Yifan Deng, Yutong Li
Summer 2018 | AAD "Fuzzy Symmetry" Studio Led by Daisy Ames
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we proposed this housing project on Roosevelt Island which simultaneously pushed back on existing models of living and outdated water management systems.

Museum of the ILO - Mid Review Yifan Deng, Jie Hu
Fall 2018 | AAD "Concept and Authorship -World Museum Block" Studio Led by Bernard Tschumi
Concept The 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.

Museum of the ILO - "What is a Concept?" Yifan Deng, Jie Hu
Fall 2018 | AAD "Concept and Authorship -World Museum Block" Studio Led by Bernard Tschumi
Percept (Envelope)
Affect (Material) At the end of the linear sequence, by cutting off a big corner from the dome and widen the path into big stairs, we aim to propose a future that workers and employers can really have an equal voice with governments in its deliberations.

Cylinder Maze Individual Work
Winter 2017 | Redefining the Concept of Thresholds in Architecture
Co-working Space Axonometric Line Drawing 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 architecture 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?

Cylinder Maze Individual Work
Winter 2017 | Redefining the Concept of Thresholds in Architecture
Functional Possibilities / Diameter and Composition 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.

Fall 2018 | GSAPP selective - META TOOL Instructor: Dan Taeyoung
META TOOL II - Prototyping in a table-based interface
META TOOL I - Design tool in a Rhino-Grasshopper environment with leap motion aided Inspired by Dynamicland and the Tangible Media Group at MIT Media Lab, the Meta Tool will be about thinking collectively and spatially, to experiment and prototype ways to understand, share, and design with a table-based interface. The goal is to experiment with spatial tools for spatial design — and, as architects, to prototype a spatial tool that changes the way we design and work with each other.

Spring 2017 | Installation - Interactive Arranger Projection Mapping Instructor: Gang Song
Installation Instructions
Since we are now entering a Post-digital age, material that makes up space can also be things with no entity property, such as the light. The installation of an interactive arranger shown in my portfolio is a small attempt to the digitally augmented environment. The installation provides a real-time 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 interactive one, the light is the medium and the trigger of the space.

Theatrical Sacredness through Taming the Nature Yifan Deng, Junyi Ding
Fall 2017 | The Sensory Field of the Native Environment Instructor: Wendy Teo 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.

Theatrical Sacredness through Taming the Nature Yifan Deng, Junyi Ding
Fall 2017 | The Sensory Field of the Native Environment Instructor: Wendy Teo 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. The material becomes narrative, tells the story of the river ebb and flow.

Winter 2016 | Skating Statium Design Instructor: Yimin Sun
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.
