REASERCHER CIRCULATION The researcher circulation is located on the upper level of the building with easy-access to the mezzanine (maintenance) level. They could overseen the factory while working in the laboratory and office.
SECTION PRESPECTIVE The three circulation layers (automation, visitor, researcher) are centralized in the middle part of the building, where people could access different space on both sides. With the environmental control of the module container, the building could introduce the nature light into this factory. The skylight and facade not only balanced the natural light but also benefit to the natural ventilation in the building.

Loacted at the entrance of the “Sport World” in Herzogenaurach, Germany, the project is functioned as an icon Gateway for the campus-style complex. In this sense, the ground level is the open field that frees the public circulation, connecting entrance with the “Sport World”. The different office zones are connected by the modular meeting cells on the bridges, which have the visual connection with the ground level.

As the largest art museum in the United States, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the MET) in New York has collected a huge number of artworks all over the world. To accommodate the growing number of art collections, the Museum has been through several expansions from its original footprint since 1870. The design is the design expension for the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing (West Wing for the modern art collection).

The exterior walls of the demonstration house were made using this method. The manual wood formwork-making method combines traditional and modern techniques. Depending on the complexity of the shape, the manual wood formwork-making method is a labor- and equipment-intensive process and can be compared to that of boat carpentry.

All three approaches were based on one central information model and we not only fully documented the quality of the final product by using digital models and 3D laser scanning, but we also calculated the differences between the cost and time expended for designers to coordinate their information and for manufacturers to produce the components, as well as other difference among sustainable factors such as the reuse rate and carbon assumption. As our results show, our additive manufacturing method could tremendously reduce the redundant information among different manufacturers and thereby lower their cost while accelerating the design process and make one fullycoordinated BIM not only theoretically possible, but a reality.
INTERIOR We have developed a set of furniture that matches an organic form house, the lotus house, during the process. By using the AM method, the furniture seamlessly flows with the excellent curvature in harmony and extends the parabolic inner surface. Besides the aesthetic perspective, the 3D printed furniture’s dynamic surface that accommodates the subtle adjustments, which better support the human body in the point of ergonomic view.

On top of the train center, a hotel tower with all 550 rooms including office floors at the bottom.
We envision green parks with high quality recreational space on both roofs. Green ratio: 25% (roof terrace)
By merging the tower and base with a “twist”, we create a sloping gesture that invites people up to a public green rooftop terrance. A similar spiraling movement at the top of the tower transforms the space into a stepped terrace

PARKING & DELIVERY
The hotel entrance is located in proximity to the travel center. The plot of phase two can be used as drop off for visitors arriving by car. The conference center entrance is located at the caror facing the bus drop off.
Conference center, hotel lobby & amenities are distributed in the base. Hotel restaurant and office floors are placed in the twisted part of the tower, Hotel rooms and sky bar make up the top part of the tower.
Loading dock and technical spaces are put in the logistics deck in the basement. This reduces the amount of “inactive” facade in the ground floor. Main parking area is also located in the logistics deck.

The fascination of Craco is expressed through its fossilized past. The bustling mountain city and the
vibrant scene of life, which last a thousand-year, were flattened into a moment when Craco was abandoned. This moment brings astounding experiences as well as overwhelming contact to visitors who explore the ruins. In this way, Craco gives people irresistible impulsion to search ancient landmarks through city streets, to find answers that comprise historical messages, to look for an agent for restoring the sense of time and space. The design of the Ghost Town Refuges encourages visitors to discover their own approach to set up a connection with the past. A dispersed system is conceived to act as the waypoint to guide people in the exploration of the ruins. The waypoint refers to a stop in a journey that allows visitors to anchor themselves to the city. Those newly designed complex represent a system of waypoints scattered in the city. They are guideposts, breakpoints, and physical linkages to the history for people to reveal the story of the Ghost Town. CIRCULATION Single unit as signage and connection of circulation

ASPECT Reflective materials as a direct conversation with surroundings
NIGHT TIME Glowing light tower during night time
Reflective glass material is selected to have a direct conversation with surrounding content through the daytime. During the night time, the unit transforms into a night tower. Eight shelters are developed from a single unit. They play a major role of guidance by providing both visual signages by the trail and outlook platform. Meantime, the explorers are able to use the shelter as the breakpoint of a day and have a closer look at the ruin. The suite takes advantage of the flexibility of the unit that allows it to stand alone or nest in the previous structures. The visitor center extent the ideal of the glass box unit, which provides accessible rooftop and convenient services for visitors.

ublic toilet in India is a challenge not only related to health and hygiene issues but also related to safety, accessibility, and privacy. The design selects the site in Dharavi, Mumbai, one of the largest slums of the world to respond to these issues for low-income communities. Coming out of a loop form with embedded modulated cells, the design allows a unisex use to increase the flexibility. Each cell equips flush toilets and washing washbasin that ensure hygienic space and user privacy. The loop form also naturally shapes an outdoor courtyard in the center and helps to enhance ventilation and lighting conditions. The processing system is located beneath the courtyard that provides treatment for solid and liquid wastes.

Site design using field imapct factor in Grasshopper
The breakthrough of the speed in Hyperloop is derived from the magnetic levitation technology in a sealed tube. This mechanism of which the floating pod travel through a vacuum demonstrates a new way to overcome the resistance. It inspires the design as the Hyperloop complex is able to capture the dynamic movement by being placed detached from the ground. Under this concept, the form of design is naturally generated to inherit our pursuance of the fastness.Furthermore, the breakthrough of technology arises from the successful integration of research, development, experiment, and fabrication.
Magnetic levitation in vacuum tube used in Hyperloop breaks the limitation of speed.
The floating vessel design facilitates the integration exactly in programming and circulation. Three general sectors of the building connected by loop circulations provide public, staff, and hybrid areas respectively. Employees and visitors are served with individual entrance and circulation which creates a smoother working flow and touring experience. Still, the circulation intersects at the central hybrid area. Here, designers, engineers, investors, and future customers come together to share the fascinating vision of the Hyperloop project.
This mechanism inspire the building form which detaches from the ground.
Two circulation loops leading the programs tallow the effective working flow, touring experience and interaction
