Overall Surface and Module DesignXRay
Luminous Geometry
The project is to create a lamp surface. My inspiration is
mobius strips which can create space within a continuous surface.
While the surface creates an interesting shape, the pattern on the
surface creates a beauti-ful shadow.

Dome Effect
It is a project designed for Next University. The main concept
of this project is the continuity of space and circulation which
decreases the boundary between spaces. The continuity can create a
space for a better communicatuin between students and faculty,
which will blend the boundaries betwee classrooms and in-between
spaces. The dome shape spaces, have high ceiling extend to the
upper floor which create the connection between first floor and
second floor. The curvy light fixtures continue to convey the same
formal language as the architecture in the building.

IntersectionThis project is about the study of transparency and
color by intersecting blocks of darkness and brightness. The
concrete in different yellow tones and the acrylic in different
transparencies give me inspiration while I saw how the color
changed through the acrylic under the light. In the project, every
blocks of space represents a color block with different level of
lightness and darkness and the space are intersecting to each other
which can create incredible and interesting effect.

Knit Landscape
The project is about to create a different function of belts. In
this project, I made an installation which people can interact with
it. The fabric belts are the main materials in this installation. I
used the softness and flexibility of fabric
to create a comfortable area for people to sit, walk or climb on
it. In this project, the important characteristics of fabric will
be showed and used in very function ways.

Project StatementThe project is about to create a dierent
function of belts. In this project, I made an installation which
people can in-teract with it. The fabric belts are the main
material in this installation. I used the softness and exibility of
fabric to create a comfortable area for people to sit, walk or
climb on it. In this project, the important characteristics of
fabric will be showed and used in very function ways. The way I
arrange the modules depends on how I image the human body is going
to interact with this piece.

MetalThis project is to iterate an original pattern into a new
pattern by using one kind of mate-rial. The density of the original
pattern that I chose gave me the inspiration to use metal which has
reflection to recreate the density. The pattern is created by a
single module from compact to sparse.

Curvy Panels
This project is to create an incubator within a studio space for
an artist.The main idea is to create different levels of privacy
and to work with ergonomics. The incubator includes the combination
of two curvy shapes space which are curved in opposite direction on
first floor and second floor. The volume of two curvy spaces
decreases from entry to the end of the space which create different
levels of privacy. The materials are panels of wood which are
curved in the way that fits different postures of human body.

Barcelona PavilionThis project shows my skill of digital tools
and technical drawing. I built 3D models in Rhino, technical
drawings in
AutoCAD and rendering in Autodesk 3ds Max and Adobe Photoshop.
