Due to client's demand of an iconic building which represents
the rapid economic development of Suizhong, a town in Northeast
China, we eventually came up with the idea of Light House for its
metapher of enlightenment.
In this project, I worked, in collaboration with the Project
Director Mr. Christian Beck, at multiple scales and different
levels of detail, from analysis of the urban context to development
of technical drawings.

Sanya is famous for its beautiful view from sea and beach, which
bring joy and pleasure to the vacationers. The client demand us to
show the essence of such mood in this design of a 4,000 sqm villa
on the peninsular. We think "tranquility", as the key word, would
best represent the idea of living in such a nice villa, enjoying
the pleasant sunshine and breeze.
The most important things in the design of this villa are how to
make the functional and spatial relationship of each single unit
coherent, how to make the best use of those units to get aboundant
sunshine,breeze and views and how to make the users, regardless of
master or guests, to enjoy the most of relaxation.

D.T.C.P. | Parking Complex
Studio Project @ TCAUP at University of Michigan, Individual
Project
Location : Monte Carlo, MonacoProject Year : Fall 2012Scale :
24,000 sqm
Citys
cape
Prince Palace
Riviera Ligure
di Ponente
The design scheme carves out a section of Monaco and actively
constructs a particular image relative to luxury automobiles while
simultaneously allowing the public to occupy that image. It
achieves this goal by wrapping and concentrating the streetscape
below into the structure, codifying Monacos imagistic facade into
one continuous ribbon, a parade of Monacos luxury cars. Between the
loops and ramps of this ribbon, large floor plates are used as
rentable space for banquets, conferences, and parties. Visitors are
able to participate in Monacos luxury image, and high net worth
individuals are allowed to flaunt their wealth, creating a
symbiosis between groups that are largely disparate today in
Monaco.
The building uses the glamorous backdrop of Monaco to further
create a concentrated image of exclusivity. The form frames views
of the cityscape, the ceremonial headquarters of the princes palace
and the surrounding natural beauty of the Cote dAzur.

Field of Play | Housing Complex
Studio Project @ TCAUP at University of Michigan, Collaborated
Project
Location : Seoul, KoreaProject Year : Winter 2012Scale : 81,620
sqmF.A.R. : 8.16Collaborator : R. Chhabra, X. Liu
Fields of Play attempts to redefine the public domain of the
residential space. There is always a stark boundary created between
the city and the private domain. Though this is required with
respect to the space we reside in, it is not always warranted at
the level of the city. The undulating landscape that rises up above
the plinth, while providing public access to the pedestrian bridge,
plays with the commercial program to create a multitude of spaces
that the public can use. It looks to create a multi-layered program
that invites the public and the residents to interact and use the
space.

Building Grounds | Cultural Center
Studio Project @ TCAUP at University of Michigan,Individual
Architecture Design, Collaborated Urban Design

Three land-use strips will reconnect the Springwell,
Mexicantown, and Delray neighborhoods back to the waterfront. By
taking advantage of the incoming plaza and high-speed rail, the
proposal addresses Delrays disjunction from the northern
neighborhoods by the highway and improper zoning.The central, civic
strip proposes a cultural center, an intermodal transit center,
hotel, and waterfront education facility to draw in future
development while meeting the demands of the new high speed rail
station.
The cultural center locates on the north side of the central
strip, as a starting point to draw attention from the neighborhood
and railway station. It is a connec-tion, both physically and
metaphorically. Building upon I-75 expressway, it helps users to
navigate through the infrastructure more easily; at the same time,
the culture centers social agency also means to leverage the
quality of cultural life in this area.

This project re-incorporate the existing elements on site, such
as industrial buildings and trees, into the design of a museum and
an office building. The design scheme tries to create its own
atomsphere through a U shape courtyard, however, allows connection
through the buildings to its adjacency at the same time. It
attempts to re-establish the collective memory for those who once
had worked and lived in this area, with a different set of
vocabulary.
