Squirrels are sociality animals. They tend to gather and travel as a group. Squirrels’ main diet contains seeds and nuts they gather around their habitat. They often rest on top of trees to avoid any disturbance.
During winter, squirrels are less likely to be found outside foraging. They spend most of their winter time gathered in a shared den. They keep warm by staying inside the den as a group, also by shivering. 12000 BP House Mouse Sheep

04 Deconstruction of the House Fall 2018 The “‘Death of man’...sustained critique of the metaphysics of humanism and logocentric thought ...the modern ideology of ‘man’ as the subjective origin and interpretive limit of all sense and reality is confronted with a resolutely antihumanist effort to remove what Jean-Fracois Lyotard has called ‘the humanist obstacle’ from philosophy”. -Iñaki Ábalos Deconstruction of the house is a residential project whose program and sturcture has been deconstractilized, “Form no more follows function”. Learn from Peter Eisenman’s techniques from House III and House VI. Break the tradition spacial and geometry ideology of a residence plan, force residences to accommodate themselves. Based on a shifted grid structure, insert new geometry adapting to the system.

05 Surreal City Collaborate with Joseph Weng Spring 2019 The surreal city is a experimental project that reflects on surrealism. Surrealism for me represents a blurry gap between reality and imagination, space lays between figurative and symbolic, form and function can be manipulated to stimulate human reactions similar to Freudian concepts. Architectural production does not necessarily need to be in a straight assembly line. By considering the conflict between our eye-preservation relation and objective world as one architectural feature might benefit our design. Human reacting to architecture is similar to language in a linguistic context, which means profiling for our audiences is equally essential. Our perception of architecture, like sequence, is never resting, never absolute, never singular. And surrealism should be defined as a process to create an experiential product.

06 Containing Elsewhere Facades always relate to human memories and emotions, even if it is only in its simplified version or if it is broken into pieces or elements. On the one hand, human brain has the ability and natural instinct to memeory one thing in its prototype, and replenish one thing towards its complete form when only seeing its partial peices. Facades bring people collaborative memories. Meanwhile facades also bring people individual memories, as all human have different experiences and feelings. Books are not limited to its physical form/actual paper books. Copies of books can be found in different kinds of forms; broadcasting media, graphic media, even PDF copies. Books in the existing book library will be “the original pieces�; while books in the vanished book library will be in other form and languages, This concept symbolizes how the Nazi burning books event cannot stop intellectual ideas from spreading, fundamentally, books can be burned but cannot be killed.

Study of Regent’s Canal London, United Kingdom Fall 2018 The Regent’s Canal is the most important of the historic canals that served London and brought goods from and to the surrounding cities of London. Her construction was a combanation of engineering and design, served for strong social, economical and political use. Through a series of sketches, i aim to deliver the sectional qualities of the canal, as she shapes the living and working of the city, seperating and at the same time connecting a network of infrastructure. In an article in Log 26, Bryony Roberts considers architectural engagement of historic urban structures: “Engaging existing buildings as the potential for new spatial organization opens up more architectural possibilities.” The Regent’s canal is not only the perfect study material for me to understand more about the history of the city, but also an inspiration of how to open new design oppotunities.
