01 Paintings in the Eyes of Computer A computational design—programed by Processing Individual work: Jul. 2015-Oct. 2016 This is an original graphic design based on pieces from my computational visualization, illustrating the clouds, rains, and mountains of an imaginal hometown.

We appreciate a painting at its overall visual effect, but when saved as a PNG or JPG document on the network, a painting is recognized by the computer through its component pixels. I attempted to analyze pixels of individual paintings via a computational algorithm and visualize the outcome according to their HSL color attributes. The new images as a result represent paintings in the “eyes� of computers.

The purpose for the "count" axis?

Count

Sometimes there are a few identical pixels in a painting. Although two pixels are in different positions, they may have the same value of hue, saturation and brightness. In picture 2, curves of two identical pixels overlap. The new axis—"count" is added in order to represent the number of identical pixels.

—Larger and Larger Circles

Mapped on an H-S axis, pixels of the same hue and saturation but different brightness share the same coordinate. In order to show the nuance of color, when adding an extra pixel to a coordinate, I draw in its color an outermost circumference for the coordinate.

Large circle-groups containing various concentric circles correspond to the color tone of the painting. The biggest circle-group contains hundreds of individual circles and corresponds to hundreds of pixels in the painting.

02 Trail Simulation AA visiting School Beijing 2015—Baitasi Remade Workshop: Oct. 2015 Professional Work: Aug.2016 - Dec.2016 Tutor: CHEN Yiqiang, CHEN Kunkun Team work with FAN Kun, GAO Wentao and HUANG Yuxi My contribution: site research, modeling, programming, diagrams, computer analysis, design I wrote computer programs to simulate varieties of human presence in the courtyard, including movement (passing by, perambulation, play, and etc.) and static presence (having conversations, staying out, and etc.).

Site and Problems

42m

30m

31 units 67 persons One crowded courtyard

Principles and two simulation rules Algorithm: A person's walking route depends on the location, distance and direction to his destination, and it is also influenced by people and attractive sites nearby. A group's routes will affect everyone and be affected by everyone in return. Here, we defined different start points as the original sites, end points as destinations and attractive points as contexts.

Functional space based simulation People walk in through the gate of the courtyard, pause over attractions on their trails, and finally reach their own rooms.

Open space based simulation People exit their own rooms, stroll around in the yard, and pause over attractions in the public space.

03 Deployable crystal ball Individual work: Aug. 2015-Jan. 2017 Modeled by Rhino The crystal ball is deployable and movable, from the seabed to the water surface. We could enjoy the undersea world from inside, or look at starry sky at night. It is my beautiful dream.

Different Scenes for The Crystal Ball The crystal ball moves from the seafloor to the water surface on a similar mechanical principle as that of elevators. The cylinder tunnel facilitates its movement from the bottom to the top. People living inside the crystal ball can enjoy marvelous scenic wonders, such as the aquatic wildlife and a seaside starry night without light pollution.

04 Climb the Mountain Harbin Institute of Technology Workshop—Imprinting Harbin Tutor: CHEN Shouheng Team work (Jul. 2016) with CUI Haoyu, ZHANG Lu and ZHONG Yi Contribution: design, hand modeling, digital modeling, diagrams Professional work (Jul. 2016-Jan. 2017): all drawings in the portfolio Modeled by SkethUp The climbing hall is design like a mountain. People wander on the hiking trail, and climb the climbing wall, which is called as "climb the mountain".

Public Space & Block Formation The rock-climbing gym requires more than 4 international standard speed climbing routes limited to the height of 18 meters, 4 international standard difficulty climbing routes limited to the height of 12 meters, and 6 international standard rock climbing routes. For those three types of climbing walls of different heights, we could cut the blocks for three heights. The lowest block is used for rock-climbing road, hall, office, washroom and other functional areas like cafe or rest. In order to add public space for urban residents, we open the roof as a long walkway for citizens around. In addition, an outdoor climbing wall is added for watching.

Digital Fractals

Individual work: Jul. 2015-Aug. 2015 Programmed by Microsoft VS C++ & Mandelbulb3D

Fractal is an art, drew by math. With the aid of computer, complex fractal could be visualized in a pict

ture.

Digital 3D Fractal

by Mandelbulb3D Oct. 2016

Programmed by Microsoft VS C++ Jul. 2015 Fractal: Mandelbrot set Formula: f(z)=z2+c z0=0

Fractal is an art of repeat, from small to large.

"A fractal is a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern displayed at every scale. It is also known as expanding symmetry or evolving symmetry. If the replication is exactly the same at every scale, it is called a self-similar pattern." â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Wikipedia

2D fractal is like a painting drew by a mathematical formula, and 3D fractal more ike an architecture.

06 Other Works ELSEWHEREâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Our team explore potential open spaces in the city.

We investigate several private spaces like Hutong neighborhoods with Elsewhere group to supply an online platform for space owners to share space to other people and earn some money.

2016 Beijing Design Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I am devoted to the exhibition for ELSEWHERE. In the entrepreneurship internship program, I am in charge of the Elsewhere exhibition for 2016 Beijing Design Week as the main planner.
