Restaurant Architectural Design at Seine Location: Paris, France Type: international competition Time: 2017
Plan & Programs
Concept & Design Strategies Description: “Perch on water” is the restaurant next to the Seine in Paris. The project is inspired by “water”. The features of water are “transparent”, “amorphous”, “stationary” and “dynamic”. So we a committed to combine those features into our design and create a space that could give people a unique experience. It is a two-story restaurant with water pool. The first floor considered as main dining area with bar and party room. The cylinder glasses facing the river can be rotated. People could experience the restaurant as an outdoor area when the glasses are opened. When the glasses are closed, people can still enjoy the scenery on the river. On the second floor, there are four transparent pools and tables are set surrounded. Those pools also allowed sunlight get into the first floor and allow people can see water on ceiling, which would give people aesthetical experiences. The water in this site is cycled. Water from roof will fall into the pool outside the building from two sides. There are hemispherical windows in the first floor, which allow people to see outside view with falling water bypassed.

Fish Habitat Location: Ohio, USA Type: academic individual Time: 2016
Site Analysis
Concept & Design Strategies
Description: 1.fish: common shiner& grass pickerel: less than 1 ft. Prefer shallow water with abundant vegetation, channel catfish: 1-2ft, deep clear water, spawn in shallow water. 2.site choice: The site is located on the south bank, which allows more shade for the site and lower water temperature. Next to aquarium a lot of school children will come here from trip----our site have educational meanings—outdoor classroom/playground/approachable to the fish habitat. It is within a convenient transportation system, there are enough parking spaces and water taxi on Cuyahoga river. Bus stop is approx 20min walking distance. 3.Wetland: purify river water. Current river water is turbid. So we use wetland to filter river water and use permeable pipe to enhance the flow from bottom of wetland to the fish pool. 4.Module: Two kinds of module: one for catfish, large radius that allow catfish move flexible under the module. A hide space to spawn. Another one for grass pickerels and common shiner. Small radius-prevent big fish get in. two layers: upper layer have aquatic vegetation to feed fish. Lower have small hole to allow fish hide and spawn. 5. On land circle: hierarchy the module typology, give people a sense that they are linger between modules as well.

Site Analysis
Location: Ohio, USA Type: academic individual Time: 2015
Concept & Design Strategies
Description: this project is an investigation into space making and movement. the project site is a dynamic environment which lies between the recently resorted Olentangy River (Columbus, Ohio) environment that includes a wide and spontaneous vegetation and the controlled landscape environment of OSU’s Cannon Drive. The site includes topography, flood zones, public access, flora and fauna. Development of a series of paths which allow the public to experience the site. Paths are designated as “slow” and “fast” paths. -In the non-flooding season, people could use the upper level path as the fast path to efficiently pass through the site. the lower level path is more intricated so that people could spend time here and enjoy the waterscape. a series aquatic vegetation will be planted in the pool to improve the aesthetic demand in campus. During non-flooding season, river water will fill into the pool, which can reduce the damage of flood.the lower level stair will be submerged in water during flood season and people would only use upper level path, which is the “fast” path. In the non-flooding season, people could use both

Pricehill Neighborhood Redevelopment
Site Analysis
Concept & Design Strategies
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Type: academic individual Time: 2017
Description: Site location: upper price hill, one of the one way green way- street parking, separate bike lane and extended pedestrian. I choose this site because: 1.warsaw&glenway 2. Streetcar station bus stops. EXISTING: two sides street parking-narrow pedestrian, two direction trafficnarrow, a lot of vacant lot- potential threat for safety, big slope. So I set a series parameters for this site: lighting system, street trees and water sewer system. Every 35ft set street light, two trees; every 15ft set sidewalk light; permeable pavement. At intersection-double light less tree. Two tree between light: zelkova, London plane tree-tall stem, Spatial diagram: safe street, people see street, street see people, residence see people. American linden- hierarchy with existing tree on warsaw. Along the street, I find two area are the low spot in the several street, which I develop them to be water retention area.

Asset
From the diagram, we could see water would flow through the swale from street and through the sewer system, some part of water would flow into sewer main and some will follow the pipe flow into the water retention site. Here are two sites which are located in here and here. The first site will function as a water pond but also a public space for people that can sit around the pond. Water will flow mainly from the street. Vegetation are high water tolerant. The second site will mainly function as a swale to retained water, and there will be a grid path elevated above ground and connect McPherson St with street of its east. The existing trees will keep in here and install bat house on it. Underground system to lead water flow into sewage and through permeable pipe into retention basin. Then there is a series of renders to tell a story about a person get off from streetcar and goes home in a raining day.

Hybrid Altercology & Spa Design
Site Analysis
Concept & Design Strategies
Location: Columbus, Ohio, USA Type: academic individual Time: 2016
Description: The altercology project, a semester-long studio course, assigned students to work through four phases of ecology and machine researches to ultimately design a spa area in Columbus,Ohio. The programs are taichi space, construction beaches and spa pools. Students are also challenged to incorporate an Altercology in this site. After researching Midwest ecologies and simple machines from the first phase and the second phase, students were assigned two ecologies randomly that were to be brought together through the process of a simple machine.
Site Model
Put the alterecology to one of the fourteen sites in Columbus downtown. Site for SPA program that occupy for 5 people. Add three other programs. Site choosing: this site is along river and have a open flat area which is similar to the topography of last phase. Dry prairie set on the upland open area. This area is supposed to be public space. Two tai-chi spaces are in there. Tile drainage system underground helps to drain water. Perforated pipe let rainfall drain to regular pipe and lead water to plant container to support the forest ecologies. The wall on the edges of tai-chi space is used to reduce noise from railroad. The slope of prairie is used to speed up draining.
Green
The wet and cold forest is used as private space. Boardwalk from bike path goes to hot pool and cold pool. The several plant containers are used to be a fence the separate public space and private space. Changing room is set near hot pool. Water wheel lead water from river to a sand filter and feed the cooling pool. The solar heating system is used to heat water in spa pool (with cycling water). Hedge maple are planted next to water birch to create visual distinguish in this site.
