PROLOGUE
My experiences as a wayfarer have always motivated my journey of architectural design and brought me a critical point of view towards contemporary architecture development and urbanization. By traveling, observing, and thinking, I transform consciousness into space creation. In my opinion, creating architectural space is translating social spirituality into the physical framework by manipulating its form by redefining its elements based on its social context. Academically and practically, I am not satisfied with the exploration in the classroom. I firmly believe that architectural designers need to put themselves into a comprehensive social environment, spatiotemporally. The discovery of the truth of architecture, the sympathy of human beings, the introspection of our society are going on. There are questions, contradictions emerging over time. I want to continue exploring the site, culture, and social empathy of architecture and digging into nowadays' advanced design methods to discover innovative design operations and experimental approaches further at my graduate stage.
In this portfolio, I would like to express my critical point of view to architecture development with physical conditions and internal cultures within an urban fabric through my academic and professional experiences, attempting to seek a more in-depth mind.

01 MEDIATECHEQUE
Contemporary Multimedia Centre in Kulturforum HKU 2020 Spring Instructor: Au, Fai Site: Kulturforum, Berlin, Germany Building Area: 3000m2 Individual Work
The integration of the new building with the surrounding urban scene and surrounding structures is a physical synergy of the environment and respect for the local culture and history. Considering the site's own historical, cultural, and religious characteristics without damaging the circulation and existing texture in the Kultureforum, I decided to make Mediatecheque acted as a focal point bringing the contrast brought by contemporary aesthetic architectural elements and nostalgic recall of classical order. Mediatecheque embodied the integration of emerging interactive artistic expression and diversified artistic forms, which inherits and sublimates the cultural connotation of the whole Kultureforum.

REPRESENTING BERLIN CULTURE & HISTORY Over the past two centuries, museums, galleries, libraries, and Philharmonie gradually built here are complementary to make the cultural forum cover from the medieval to the contemporary and from music, performance to paintings and artwares. In this way, I tried to create the Mediatecheque act as a focal point by connecting the whole cultural community programmatically and embodying its own contemporaneity.

ON-SITE STREETS:UPPERGROUND & UNDERGROUND
To maintain the previous path specifically, from plazas to church, from plazas to museums, and in between museums, I used "wooly urban paths" to minimize the detour of current passengers. By utilizing the computational outcome of circulation to define the path through surfaces without being blocked, three curvature surfaces respectively were generated as the rooftop, ground floor, and underground.

CLASSIC CENTRAL HALL
Master Plan
Meanwhile, the building volume makes the whole surrounding visually harmonious as the extension of the city green belt without obscuring the view of the rear buildings. The symmetry of the entral atrium is the nostalgic reflection of the symmetry of the central hall church. The rooftop maintains the religious approach for the most popular central plaza to the entrance of the church.
View from plaza to Mediateque and church
The entrances naturally welcome people among the plaza and surrounded museum, hosting the communcation among artists and visitors inside this vibrant and inclusive environment. 06
SPATIAL CONTRAST Impermanent promenade gallery, immerse art exhibition, interactive workshops, and sunken garden are fulfilled in the Mediatecheque through conscientious spatial arrangement. The columniation space with terrace at both sides became the reflection of the church. At the same time, the intervention of a modern "creature" breaks the central hall bringing dynamic and rigour to the exhibition space and maintaining the circulation among levels.
STRUCTURE EXPERIMENT To maintain the integrity of the exhibition space, a steel skeleton system is implied to create a series of columnfree spatial experiences which could improve the sense of continuous indoor space. The subtly twisting geometric surfaces (hyperbolic parabolas) are realized by curved spruce planks, sheets of bent plywood, and steel tubes welded together in a fan-shaped pattern.

CONTEXTUAL CURVATURE On top of creating a ‘landscape’ surface for the site, the surface curvature is evaluated and analyzed through the testing of circulation path both between the public space and the entrance of the church and the accesses into the Mediatheque. 09
Central Hall
The central twisting geometric surfaces of the staircases connecting each floor bring a contemporary connotation to the contrast between "the museum of neutral white boxes" and "the museum of architectural spectacle".
Gallery and Courtyard
I keep most of my building underground and directly connect it with adjacent Museum Des 20 Jahrhunderts and National Art Library from the underground, extending the proposed underground path from Neue Nationalgalerie to Herzog de Meuron's gallery and further enhancing the cohesive power of Mediatechque contextually. 10

Sectional perspective
Seamless connection to the surrounding terrain enables the interior of the building to be the extension of the external cultural plaza. Functionally, the Mediateque connects the Berlin cultural history of different periods as a bridge from multiple dimensions, representing the contemporaneity of the architecture itself.

Paris : la Cité de Refuge de Le Corbusier a retrouvé son éclat Le Corbusier's Cité de Refuge has regained its luster
purpose. In post war period, the Salvation Army pursued a vigorous and diversified program of social work on a national scale in France. Hostels of homeless were their main activities which aimed to responds to requests for social services from the community technical and qualitative analysis of their case concerned by the situation of women, abandoned by their husband or family and young girls.
Heterotopia
I
n 1920s - 1930s, Le Corbusier was influenced by the model of monastery and the monastic way of life & Charles Fourier’s utopian socialist vision. He wanted To create an ideal heterotopic* community (Utopian Socialism) and social community. To s a v e t h o s e m o s t vulnerable victims of capitalist industrial societies Why he was obsessed with this ideology as he had been closed to the soviet union. The case he had referred to, narkomfin and the building he designed in Moscow : Centrosoyuz Building can be the evidence. The photo is showing he took with soviet architect during 1930.

They wanted both act as a naval architecture independently exist within the city and as a rescue place for the poor. Then some said it’s a place to protect murderers against revenger, & Le corbusier expect a place everyone could enjoy the sun.

e insisted to call it a Cite de Refuge because it w a s t o b e s e e n a s a n urban microcosm in itself (heterotopia). It’s like a urban microcosm and many functions rolled into one. Range and diversity of function as to constitute in reality a veritable city unto itself And followed by the Heterotopia concept, it shou ld b e an air t ig ht envelope because he thought that the exterior atmosphere was impured. A case he referred to is the Familistere of J. - B. G o d i n i n Gu is e which concentrate different programmes integrated into one architecture.

“Cities of refuge, as described in the Bible, protect murderers against revengers, providing them with spaces for atonement.” (En avant*, March 29)
La Traversée de Paris
Urban Planning, Le Corbusier and Design Ideology
A
s we know, there are several urban typologies proposed by Le Corbusier. During the time period he designing cite de refuge, he proposed radiant city which idea is also reflected in the architecture, what we call the interiro urbanism. Based on the idea of contemporar y city in 1922 saying that the comtemporar y urban planning should adapt and shift to the need for e x p and e d u r b an is m , L e Corbusier further refered to the concept of linear city. Linear city as shown here start to emphrase the social
system of collectivism and egalitarianism that became entrenched in avant-garde European schemes as well. While keeping part of the concept of centruality and symmetr y, the “R adiant City” was to be a linear and ordered metropolis of the future. The layout of radiant city was abstractly inspired by the arrangement and functions of the human body. it consisted of organized parts that would work together as a whole. Corbu’s approach to his cite de refuge was an extension of the conceptual cities.
Urban Context
O
riginally Cité de Refuge was built on what was then the outskirts of Paris delicate sensibilities of the city’s inhabitants wouldn’t be disturbed by having to mix with the building’s impoverished residents. Ironically, the city has grown up around it and hemmed in by the mostly banal high rises.
“The whole country will be renewed, renovated, put into action. It will reach that “why” for which one makes revolutions. A place that is not just decent but radiant for everyone under the sun”. —Le Corbusier, Sur les quatre routes 64 *En avant: newspaper of the Salvation army Le Corbusier, La Cité Refuge

H
e became more sensitive to the social and political dimensions of architecture and urban planning at the end of 1920 & early 30s when he had just started to design the Cité de Refuge due to his close relationship with Soviet Union.

Housing Renovation and Extension for La Cite de Refuge HKU 2020 Fall Instructor: Othenin-Girard Guillaume L. Site: Cite de Refuge, Paris, France Building Area: 9500 m2 Team Work with Yau Kit Sze
Role in Team: Preliminary Research, Case Study, Site Analysis, Conceptual Design, Digital Model, Technical Drawings, Architectural Representation, Physical Models and Renderings
Le Corbusier considered La Cité du Refuge as a ‘ship’ to isolate immigrants from the environment, the existing extension behind the building and refer to proposed extension (City for Wayfarers) by Le Corbusier, made us rethink its functionality to adapt to the shifting attitude of him towards Cité de Refuge, then we intended to create a ‘bridge’ to connect the refugee, the university and the public, to enable the refugee to reacquaint themselves with society, where architecture has the power both to build emotional and social connections and to fulfil practical daily requirements. As contemporary collective dwelling mode changed, we aim to design the dwelling as different as Cite de refuge’s by reckoning how high, thin is it and how close to Cite de refuge.

East Facade and Public Spaces
Urban Implementation Le Corbusier designed Cite de Refuge in the 1930s to protect refugees from the outer world in an enclosed space by utilizing his concept of "ship". After extracting the facade, the building was divided into two dormitory towers, one for women and children, the other for men. Apart from residence, public programmes are located at the bottom part of the building. Its name, Cite de refuge, indicates its isolation and synthesis.
COLLECTIVITY FOR DOMESTICITY Unlike how Corbusier depicts the nuclear family's life in his typical housing unit in Unite d'Habitation, it is intricate to illustrate a collective way of living in Cite de Refuge.There are single women dormitory, single men dormitory and roomettes for single mothers with kids on different floors served with shared toilet, bathroom and laundry, where we can see an "exploded" family life with the collective restaurant as a dining room at the bottom and solarium as a living room on the rooftop. All family members live separately in this "exploded" flat linked through a circulation core, indicating the potential of living family life in a collective way.

Current residents' stories in documentary of inhabitants in Cité du Refuge in one year
LIFE CHANGES WITH TIME By researching on current demand for Cite de refuge, we noticed that the collective housing no longer applies to the contemporary collective dwelling mode with the increasing number of applicants, which in modern times includes many families, and the demand for privacy. An appropriate degree of collectivity should be taken into consideration.
CONTEXTUAL POTENTIAL By challenging Corbu's idea of "isolated asylum", we intended to encourage the residents as well as the building to reacquaint themselves with society. First, we connected the current neighbor, Bibliotheque Universitaire des Langues et civilisations, mutually benefits students to study foreign languages and the refugees to communicate with local people by creating communal space linking the Cite de Refuge and BULAC. Moreover, to tackle the inconvenience of the original path to the nearby train station, we create the nearest path through the university for residents to get to the station. 16

Cite de Wayfares also became an open bridge for the public to commute. We brought collection of domestic fragments together while considering entrances, circulation, residence, and communal areas. These are places that foster invisible links within a community and create opportunities for (in)formal encounters inside out.
Master Plan By designing the extension, Cite de Wayfarer, and formally dynamic connection with Cite de Wayfarer, architecture not only acts as the residential extension but also formally become a bridge letting the residents close to urban life and allows the public to integrate into it. The bottom part welcomes the public access, providing places for the whole community to communicate, share, and even unexpected encounters while commuting.

Composited Housing for High-densed City Block HKU 2021 Spring Instructor: Requejo Belette Roberto Site: Kennedy town, Hong Kong, China Building Area: 30000 m2 Individual Work
Composite is a design practice operating through selection, curation, modification, and consequent montages of existing and appropriated samples exhibiting transferable and strategies for the purpose of creating. Starting from the site analysis, I was interested in the social interaction along the street and the ‘natural’ layout of public programs along the street. When questioning the current isolated and repetitive living conditions in Hong Kong, I bring an argument here to create a vertical extension of the horizontal streetscape along with the vertically growing skyscraper. In this thesis project, I reconciled public with private, repetition with diversity, and divisiveness with permeability in a housing project.
COMMUNITY EXTENSION It stands at the threshold, separating four different conditions on each side. Through analyzing the site conditions where regular residential blocks and irregular distribution of industrial districts and clusters on the natural landscape, I was inspired to create a project that can naturally weave the contextual diversity of Kennedy town. In addition, considering that the site marks the end of the Central and Western District promenade and the path from the mountain to the adjacent park, I would like to make the building an extension of the urbanscape for pedestrians.

PUBLIC PERMEABILTY AND PRIVATE DIVISION In the representation of the floor plan, there is more dynamic and curved geometry used in the public area. In contrast, rectangular geometry is used in the private area, emphasizing the contrast between the public and private spaces. In between the private living space and the corridor, a semi-private area functions as the “front yard” for communication between neighbors.

04 CONSTELLATED COURTYARDS School Reborns in Hong Kong's Historic Districts HKU 2019 Spring Instructor: Leung Rosalia H.C. Site: Saikung, Hong Kong, China Building Area: 3500 m2 Team Work with Lau Tsz Chiu
Role in Team: Preliminary Research, Case Study, Site Research, Conceptual Design, Digital Model, Technical Drawings and Architectural Representation and Physical Model
Urban Sprawl means migration of people from populated towns and cities to lowdensity residential development over more and more rural land, on undeveloped land. By analysing the given site in Sai Kung, we start to develop a strategy for the site in terms of the environmental constraint. Fengshui in this district, five bells in the centre of each recreational and gathering courtyard were arrayed in a linear way on the line from the temple facing towards the harbour front enclosed by the residential buildings. The centrality and importance of this series of courtyards are highlighted. The courtyard school aims to maintain the contextual culture identity and explore the diversity of courtyards for the learning environment.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT AND RECLAMATION The most significant part of the site is that there are several gathering courtyards arrayed linearly in front of Tin Hau Temple. By analyzing the courtyard quality of the four courtyards emphasized by "Fengshui" and how these courtyards are enclosed, we intend to continue the courtyard quality into our site.

COURTYARD CONFIGURATION Parti. I
Exploring the configuration of the courtyard, I test out the possibilities of the forms of courtyard and and analyze hierarchy of visual connection and publicity among each courtyard, representing various conditions of courtyard and sheltered space.
COURTYARD CONFIGURATION Parti. II
When scaling up to a building mass, we take a closer analysis of the enclosure of the courtyard and compare how the form of the block influences the spatial interface among the open space, transitional space, and interior space. 38

DESIGN PROCESS AND TRIAL SCHEMES By testing different courtyard configurations at the site, we defined two major courtyards naturally divided by buildings. Regarding the topography, through combining and challenging traditional formalism, our courtyards seek to create open and multifunction space in a diverse form of knowledge access and sharing its context.
Finalized scheme
The spatial arrangements encourage interaction inside the school, catering to private communication and gathering. Meanwhile, the openness allows students to learn from nature and, at the same time, brings natural sunlight and ventilation into the learning spaces through permeable boundary and flexible divisions. 39

OPENNESS AND ENCLOSURE This courtyard school is closely adapted to the site condition of suburban sprawl both materially and topographically. Creating the courtyards school conservative from the outside but highly open to the inside, we design its facade to divide itself from the exterior community and form its community. The roof translates the traditional architectural language in a contemporary way.

Role in Team: Leader in charge of Preliminary Research, Case Study, Site Research, Mechanical Deduction, Conceptual Design, Digital Model, Technical Drawings, Architectural Representation, and Physical Model
In Cedric Price's The Dynamic of Time, he did not define space as a restriction on users in traditional ways of creating architecture but let users define architecture by treating time and its change as vectors to show the operation process of each activity. Inspired by Cedric's theory, we thought about what would happen to the urban transportation infrastructure with time, user, and transportation as the keywords in the contemporary context when it is inconsistent with the past norms and preconditions.

CITY CONNECTION - AN INTERSECTION OF TRAFFIC
47
Our cities and buildings desperately need to trim their excessive fat related to time efficiency in an analogical sense. Our exploration focused on Shanghai Hongqiao Station's Time obesity in-between transfer, which shows great potential for 'trimming excessive time volume.' for users. By scoping the site on an urban contextural scale, we mapped the transportation system bonded by this metropolis transfer hub composed of railways, airplanes, buses, coaches, cars, and the metro. Each transportation plays a significant role at different scales: within Shanghai, in between adjacent cities, with surrounding region Jiangsu Zhejiang, and further for other cities in China as a port towards other countries.

SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT - ORIGINAL TRANSFER INTERLOCK Due to the complexity of the interface between different transportations, the spatial arrangement of the current Hongqiao hub takes an important role. The analysis is followed by mapping out the time circulation in Hongqiao station's current sectional spatial arrangement to explore further and rethink the efficiency and plasticity of time of transportation hub for metropolis commuters.

ANATOMY OF TIME EFFICIECY SYSTEM AND FRAMEWORK
TIME OBESITY IN-BETWEEN TRANSFERING
I considered time as the tool for evaluating the efficiency of the space; the time of users in Hongqiao can be categorized in Motion Time, Static Time, and Elastic Time. Through integral calculation, time spent in a particular space becomes representable in the diagram, providing the starting point of spatial optimization.

06 URBAN CONTAGION Lyme on Architecture & Epidemics
Architectural Association 2019 Summer Instructor: Andrea Bagnato & Ivan Munuera Site: New Forest, Southampton, United Kingdom Team Work With Amal Ahmed Omran Taryam, Rachel Low
Role in team: Preliminary Research, Site Research, Information integration, Digital Model, Narrative Drawings, Architectural Representation and 3d printing
The epidemics that have increasingly punctuated our news feeds in the past years—from cholera to Zika— are fundamentally a spatial problem. Since contagion and propagation depend on population density and interspecies relationships, architecture and design are at their center. The geography of epidemics extends far beyond the urban scale, encompassing livestock farms, irrigation basins, and palm-oil plantations. The urbanization of the planet is thus playing a significant role in developing new infections – yet the only way spatial disciplines are reckoning with the disease is through the hollow paradigm of "healthy cities", which emphasizes individual behavior over structural causes and local solutions over public investment. In this project, we explored the visual representation of Lyme disease transmission in New Forest in the UK. We visualized our broad research on how urbanization and industrialization influenced the whole process. Our focus, Lyme disease can only be transmitted to humans from a natural reservoir and small mammals, commonly mice as the first host and birds by ticks. They cannot jump or fly, but when ready for a meal, they will climb a nearby piece of vegetation and wait for a passing animal or human to catch their hooked front legs. If a larval tick picks up an infection from a small animal such as a mice when it next feeds as a nymph, it can pass the disease to the next larger animal. Deer is the primary host for the infected ticks most commonly found in New Forest. Humans could get Lyme disease when the tick chooses its new host for the next stage. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause severe damage to multiple systems in the body. Urbanization and industrialization accelerate the city's sprawl and provide the tracks for the virus's spread. The influence of social media on the society affected by the Lyme virus provokes our thinking.
