DESIGN VISION The design aims to achieve two aspects the inner sensorial atmosphere and the outer relationship to the larger environment of Los Angeles. It aims to create an object in the plains of it as an intense cultural, artistic and public node. RELATIONSHIP TO LOS ANGELES Most Los Angeles building is a pure functional box containing the programs. The interior fantasy and moments seldom reveals to the plains of id. The concept is to challenge the traditional functional box and propose an unconventional form to reveal the inner activities outward. The transformation process is to wrap the traditional gallery box and explode the social programs outward to the urban context. By doing that, the wrapper also deforms from the box shape to reinforce the rotating/exploding effects. The act of exploding and revealing the inside make it an object with an extroverted relationship to the plains of Los Angeles. It is intended to be destination and urban center for cultural and artistic activities.

SENSORIAL AGENDA Iridescent, pneumatic and glowing — attracting Los Angeles public to the particular artistic object in the plains of id. pneumatic
For the sensorial part, the project is interested in the blur and fusion of colors as well as the pneumatic and inflating feeling on the outside.It unpacks three levels of sensorial experience sequentially---approaching the building, within the intermediate layer of social space, and within the gallery space. From the outside, the building is wrapped in inflated etfe skin, accentuating the extroverted relationship to the lively culture of Los Angeles. In the intermediate social layer, the sense also highlights the liveness and art energy, where the etfe skin is reflected from polished metal. While proceeding to the inner layer of gallery space, the sense changes again from extroverted to introverted. The sculptive gallery space contrast with

Proposed : organism bridging over freeway
Skyvillage is in the form of one architectural organism that bridges over freeway interruptions. It is packed with a variety of programs of human activities---landscape gardens, theaters, library, gallery, restaurants, bars, amusement park, shopping center, hotels, apartments and offices. It aims to connect people from those four segregated quadrants and boost their social interactions together “ in the air �. Vi e w to fre e wa y a n d g re e n fi l tra ti o n to we r

Feast culture inherits from traditional Chinese rituals and happens throughout people’s life journey, in every important life event. In ancient China, most rituals are oriented around family celebrations such as wedding and funeral where family members identify with each other and the bigger collective community. Without primary religions, people still host rituals with great attentions and details, since people rely on the tight network of families instead of “the Buddha or God” to live. Traditions of Chinese ritual have died away. Ironically, the core of ritual---the feast--is pushed to another level in modern Chinese society. People today would launch lavish feasts when having baby, getting married, reaching career peak, lobbying business partners and celebrating the 60th birthday. The bigger they are, the stronger they prove their capability and showcase their networks.They would even host feast for blind dating and divorce. The life journey turns into a pilgrimage to feast, in which everyone wants to be the spectacle and meanwhile feverishly participate other people’s feast. It is truly a cultural spectacle in modern China. The proposal is a hall accommodating all typical Chinese ritual events in a people’s life journey, from a new born baby,to adult ceremony, to graduating, getting married ,reaching success, having baby and becoming old. It aggregates all the ritual programs into the ultimate one and gives spectators the experience of a series of life cycles.The design of the hall intentionally becomes aesthetically ritual, integrating many eastern element and ritual atmosphere. Would architecture induce a more sacred ritual activity, or reinforce the rooted feast culture?
The HALL OF ULTIMATE RITUAL FALL 2016 | Personal Work The Ritual and Feast in modern Chinese society This thesis proposal differs from typical architecture project, in the aspect that it aims to narrate the ironic cultural phenomenon in modern China. The intellectual criticality behind the proposal matters far more than the standard advocation of building the mass.
THE LIFE CYCLE IN THE HALL
1 100 day baby shower 2 adult ceremony 3 college offer
It continues my fifth year thesis thinking about social spectacle and how that plays into architecture. The examined spectacle subject shifts from pop culture--selfie culture to the contemporary Chinese society---feast culture. It discusses the renewd social value of Chinese, especially in urbanised area.

The actual journey winds 60-old birthday through various ritual halls, and forms a cycle from born to death, representing people , from generation to generation are re-experiencing the same life cycle , which also reflects the eastern philosophy of Samsara.

SECTION PERSPECTIVE
In this golden age of social media, architecture didn’t belong to any single user group or the privileged client who owns architecture. Social media enables the consumption of architecture instantaneously without the limitation of geography and class. Once a selfie or snapshot about this piece of architecture gets posted online, it instantly becomes part of the collective consciousness. Everyone has the privilege to participate, comment and interact with the built urban and architecture space, actively shaping millions of new perspectives with Eiffel tower, the Louvre Pyramid, or the Seattle library etc. The impact is double sided. Valuable architecture also impacts the public and community in a much wider scope not only through the immediacy of physical interaction, but also in its social pursuit and cultural impact on social media. Therefore the thesis projects explore the very prevailing cultural idea of selfies and discuss what architecture could act on the cultural trend.

The first project reveals the cultural phenomenon of selfie and emoticon. The second project began to set up the dialogue between selfie and architectural context. Finally, the third project questions what the contextual/architectural component in selfie could play in defining the characteristics of the our selfies and lifestyles. The criticality of the project questions the surreal quality of covert surveillance which selfie culture brings about under the open public space . The selfie control examines the workspace scenario, where surveillance is renewed through the invention of selfie.

Selfies posted online hide, fake, beautify and exaggerate the original facial features : the skins, the tones and physical contours. They exaggerate it to the extent that only the nu ance of emotions are retained. That emotional translation is concept of this mask: at the inside, you saw your real facial expression; on the outside, you react to people with the emoticons you intend. Your reac tions are substituted by this changing emoticons.

TRILOGY 2 | TOURISTS SELFIE STATION
Campidoglio Rome model scale 1/4” The station consists of one screen wall of flippable ipad screens and two screen walls of reflected mirrors to reflect surrounding tourist scenes. The proposal site is Campidoglio Plaza at Rome, where the rounded tourist kiosks is situated at the center as a group selfie tourist station. Tourists go inside and take group-traveling photos with the real campigdolio panoramic scenes mixed with the artificial ROME. Tourists could only realize the word ROME vwhen taken the selfie at the distance with the cameras fixed on the booth. When seeing with naked eyes, people are often obsessed with themselves in the mirror, failing to see the bigger scenes. The psychology often happens in sightseeing. Visitors view the place not through real experience, but through framed selfies.

2 Surveillance Surveillance existed long time ago in human history, from the panopticon prison , to multifamily neiborhoods, to community housing options, to working and school scenarios. The entertainment feature of selfies seems opposite to severity of surveillance.However, in the age of big data, the selfies posted online have formed an unseen network of surveillance.

Selfie control allows participants to have the chance to exercise, while keeping full working production under the field of selfie surveillance.

The festival ribbon winding through the site would attract more visitors to come to Fukuoka, appreciating the spectacular feature of Festival culture. The central festival procession is flanked by various types of creative studio, workshops and stores , giving the site multiple layer of cultural identities. In addition, it defines different housing typologies adjacent to specific festival programs, giving the site more lifestyle and variety. Together with the festival and residential programs, it creates a lively district for people to celebrate the unique and rich cultures in Fukuoka.

The proposal aims to create a cultural playground for Fukuoka citizens. Specifically, it uses the theme of festival--a core cultural asset throughout japan history--to activate the site. Fukuoka has a rich tradition in traditional festivals(Yamakasa, Hojoya ), with festivals going on every month. Moreover, it embraces a variety of contemporary and pop festivals, including film, music ,animation, costume, food , art and design festivals. The concept embrace the past festivals and the contemporary to present a inclusive and international future of rich global Fukuoka culture. The proposal intends to integrate all those disconnected festivals and make it happen on Hakozaki site throughout the year. In this way, the playground becomes a literal festival theme park that allows Fukuoka residents and visitors learn about the unique culture and enjoy the vitality of urban lives. Through transforming the site into a cultural playground, it connects with the existing festival locations and furthermore promotes a festival city line along the Hakata bay.

In fact, spray-painting can add to the colorful and abstract quality of the outer surface, making it a maintenance-free system. At most, the walls and the umbrellas only need a quick power wash to prepare it for each new summer season.

Although small in size, tw/rl’s impact on zero-energy architecture will be tremendous. From morning to evening, the featured umbrella has many performative functions: to shade from the sun, to ventilate cool air, and to collect solar energy. When opened for business, the movable display cases align for unimpeded movement of the umbrella along the shelf-top tracks. In order to maximize shade, the user rolls the umbrella manually on this track, which inadvertently positions the umbrella’s interwoven surface of solar reflectors and collectors at the optimal angle to the sun. Solar heat is reflected into the spindle of the solar chimney to generate air movement and, simultaneously, is absorbed by photovoltaic tiles for later use. When closed for the day, the display shelves lock in an O-shape for safety, while securing the umbrella in position as well as the contents of the kiosk. At night, the series of lighted kiosks sporadically mark the water’s edge—quietly waiting for a new day.

Open for Operation/Closed for Security When closed, the kiosk secures the retail goods on the inside from theft and constricts the umbrella from moving side-toside or upward. When fully opened, the kiosk’s display cases automatically align the track to be continuous. The user can then roll the umbrella unimpeded to any position along the track. On sunny days, the natural inclination would be to direct the umbrella towards the sun throughout the day. Because the six display cabinets are arranged in a radial pattern, vendors have the option of fixing one or two of the cases (see middle row). This type of configuration would be ideal for performances or identifying a unit that may have differ- entiated functions (cashier, storage, information,

Constructability Creatively combining readily available materials with digital programming, this compact project can be constructed in a relatively short amount of time. All methods of construction and assembly have been previously tested and perfected by members for the team with a few minor exceptions such as silicone drainage surface. Building a prototype within the designated budget and timeline is rea- sonable and ample. And customizing the overall form of the kiosk has no bearing on the production of multiple (40+) kiosks because the fabrication process is completely digital (CAM) and the assembly requires no special tools.
