The project focused on providing the space for people both engaged and watch by Invite the street inside the community and create serial courtyard to blur the boundary between town and community and also the relationship between units. Divide the space inside the community in three level: public, semi-public, privacy. As for the units itself, the plan is arrange elaborately to form an intimate relationship between neighbors while their privacy is well protected simultaneously by the layered boundary space form by vertical variation and transparency of the aperture. There are 14 main types units among the 30 units. Such diversity promote some interacts, like visiting, among the residents
potentially since almost every units have its unique relationship with city, mountain and the courtyard.

DUPLEX HOUSE FOR DIVROCED FAMILY Duplex house design Location: St.louis Instructor: Freixas Catalina Site Area: 1750 Sf Building Area: 2500 Sf 2014Fall, Graduate, Solo work Although the marriage is broken, the couple decide to find an alternative way to live as a family to continue enjoying their children, while being separated in seek of preserving the daily life with their three adorable kids , whose 5, 7, 11 years old. Although the kid is the bend to tie this “two� units together, the divorced two need the personal privacy more than anytime. In order to reach those goals, I divide the space in three level: personal, half-shared and shared. The main space for the kids is shared, both of the parent can see them playing simultaneously. And for the half-share space, one of parents can only peep to the kids when is not his or her time. The main points of these space is the kids can see the parents simultaneously, just like what it was.

CITY RE-SETTLEMENT PLAN: DALLAS
Urban design proposal to revive the pedestrain circumstance Location: Dallas Instructor: Jennifer Yoos Site Area: 330 Hec 2016Fall, Graduate, Solo work Dallas is a city which is famous for its vehicle life. The city is planed by Vincent Ponte, a Canadian Urban Planer in 1980, which was aim to promote the city life and viality. The planning is driven by the city government and a lot of skyway and underground tunnel connect with the retail and commerial and recreaton area is built. But, the face is the skyway system extract the citizen from the street, and the original retail decrease. And the fellowing is the pedestrain circumstance decrease. Finally, the city is die out of its urban life. And vehicle take place of the plaza and urban life. It grow like cancer of the city and occupied more than 1/3 of the downtown area, which make the situation even worse. Multilevel city in Dallas is not that successful since the plan can’t be changed, so my points of design it take pedestrain life back to the city, by re-settle the downtown area. the whole is constructed in three different scale. A large linear elevated park which connect all important point in the downtown area, which give planty of rear reconnection and shaded for the city. Three new settlement, combine with retail and residential program. And serial of sky train station which reconstructed from old park garage.
Vincent has propose a ultramodern pedestrain system to downtown which combine covered walking way among the street and underground tunnel with retail.

Unexpected concequence
Partial abondoned System.
City Conquredred by Wheel.
in the 1968s Dallas government has invited Canadian urban planner Vincent Ponte for a new proposal of downtown development.
The new multiple-level system split urban pedestrain circumstan in different level. the Street is abondoned.
With restrict administrate,even shut off, by different owner. The system is indeed seperate into uncontinue pieces. and lose it function.
Today, the Dallas has becomed one of the most pedestrain unfriendly city in U.S. The city is conquerdred by wheels
Only part of the system is well-functioned today. A big part of it is abondoned and become the bed for crime.
The inclosed system unexpectly made people avoid street. and retail become restreat from downtown. So along with the residential area.
Dallas resettlement Plan Today As an physically multi-level pedestrain city. How to activate the existing system and bring people back to city is key problem to bring the city back to its second spring

re-recreation community park design Location: Beijing, China Instructor: Gang, Liu Site Area: 6.73 Hec 2013 junior project, undergrade.Solo work This project work aim to design a city park serve the citizens who live in the living quarter arround the site. Site located at Shijingshan district, Beijing. The surrrounding area has 3 city parks and a nursery garden already, which means that a normal leisure citypark has less significance here. Meanwhile, there only two basketball field within 1 kilometer and 0 free gym for sports. And most noticeable problem is that unilization ratio of both site is remain how level. Such situation make me think about how to make an unique citypark. provide multiple function and solve the problem. To slove the Contradiction of these area, I was thinking about how to make a compromise. Combining Gym and park two forms in one site. And make three most important elements of sorrounding area - CITY, GREEN, HIGHWAY flow into the site, mix, reaction. And form an unique dynamic and poetic park.

Iteration of the tension installation
The tension inside the stretched surface will be visualized by multiple apertures on it. Those aperture would open up base on the collision with the object, which we use Kangaroo, A plugin in Grasshopper, to simulate digitally. When people walk, the aperture on the shoes will open and close along with the move of body. Just like breathing in rhyth.
Object spheres provide the volume to stretch the surface, and also supported by the surface to hang in the air
Surface l 1/3l
Use stretchable material in the case study with aperture on the surface which can display the level of the tension in certain area.
