01/ Subtraction-Intersection/ NYC Complex Partner: Colin Frazier
Insturctor: Matthew Jull
Despite various public facilities occupying the site of Lower Manhattan, the accessibility and mobility of pedestrians is highly limited. The different ground levels created by the bridges, roads, and public institutions creates a powerful, but disconnected, sequence of spaces that range in both scale and verticality. Our building reveals its contents through a series of unique vertically distributed public spaces, which create a language of connection and circulation between the various programs and user groups. Their range of scale and orientation reaches outward to the various surrounding communities and buildings, and attempts to appeal to each one individually.

02 Asymmetric Intervention / Archeology Center Independent work
planning landing points existing shipwrecks
Insturctor: Luis Pancorbo
Based on the aesthetic admiration of the historical landscape formed by the shipwerck collection in the mallows bay, this project created a language of structure units that have the flexibility to constructing the architectural space of the archeology center as well as deconstructing the building into pieces exisiting in various scales of the novel and historical landscape. The reaction was interpretated as asymmetry which can be illustrated in the section catalog of the units system: The tension system on both side and the deck system on the top combined together to control the surfaces outside and the spaces inside the building in an unbalanced way, which was tested as a special way to shape the building as a new exhibition experience during the kayaking tour, a new utility in the future national marine sanctuary , a new intervention hidden inside the unique tran-scales field condition.

The separate section as a single figure and the combination as the building always respond to three questions: "What is happening on different sides of the space? What is happening in the middle of the space? what is the relationship between the middle and the side?" Considering the building as a part of the whole atmosphrere, it responded to the two different scales of landscape on each side of the suggested site of the national archeology center: The one formed by the new ecological system with the shipwrecks and the one belongs to the oringial views of the sea, the sky, and the forest of the bay.

03 Redefine the Edges/ Urban-village School Independent work
Insturctor: Xiaodong Zheng
In this project, the redefinition aims to test the potential interaction between edge conditions inside educational facilitiy and the site of informal urbanization area in ways of form,materiality and transparency. Specifically, there are two implications by using the word of 'edge' ——the corridors outside the classrooms, and the surfaces created by the corridors of different levels.

TRANSPARENCY GENERATION
After analyzing the particular conditions of each sides of the teaching building, I choose wooden gird as material of the new interface,which is both environmentally and economical friendly.The strategty is to make use of its vartiey of combinattion to follow the actual requirements of light,sight and sound of each direction.The transparency changes according to the alignment of grids.From the direction of west and south, the continuity of the vertical space is strengthened. On the contrary sides, the horizontal spaces of the corridor is more obvious.

04/ Magnetic Casting/ Robotic Fabrication Independent work
Insturctor: M. Goldman
Grasshopper Simulation of the Fabrication Movement
In the workshop held by UVA School of Architecrue Fablab Manager M. Goldman, we used custom tools and ferromagnetic material, developed a construction process utilizing the off-plane toolpaths of a 6-axis industrial robot. The pourable material, ferroresin, forms spikes and connections around invisible magnetic fields, and upon hardening, freezes the field into a new physical artifact. Particularly, I deisgned a structure that has the capacity to be a joint system unit with the negative sphere edges formed by the custom tool.I developed a script that can show the trace of connections among vertices of two squares made by scale and rotation. It can be imagined as a symmetrical structure having the form of the 'W' shape and four potential connecting points on the top. They can be the joints for anything that has sphere edge.

Photos From the Workshop Guidance
A invisble magnetic field was created by the poles from the magnets under the base and inside the custom tool. These poles can be located as needed. Compound in the liquid state mixed by resin and iron dioxide can be attracted by the field . During the hardening process, the robot arm have the chance to stretch and rotate the shaping structure according to the command given by Parametric Robot Control for Grasshopper.

This project is based on a real school renovation project in which the new teaching building was built as an unsatisfied one for the new coming chair who thought the neo-classicism style failed to convey the lively atmosphere of the campus. We are required to use interior design as a chance to evoke the emotional feeling inside the school as the one all the coming student will love. Specifically, I tested different color deisgns with the long corridor spaces inside, and the using of two colors on different sides of the wall turned out to be a positive proposal to give vitality to the linear spaces everywhere. Besides, the lobby proposal shows the extension of the color system combing with the granite columns.I also worked out the standard classroom and workshop design under the guidance of my boss.
