Lichens are living organisms that consist of a symbiotic association between algae and fungi. This project, Computational Symbiosis, focuses on the possibility of expanding this symbiotic relationship in ecology to lichen and robots, the natural and artificial. Through the computational design method, a freestanding wall formed by individual components provides a non-human architecture for the lichen.

Project C4M is located on a triangular site at Convent Ave and W 135th St, inside of City College of New York. It focused on bringing in both neighborhood residents and campus members to the main event hall by providing entrances for both groups. Due to the focus of this project. we see the elevation difference within the site as an opportunity to raise up the main event hall to increase its visibility.

The given site is a vacant lot with a giant rock facing W 114th St at Broadway. The intention of the Lighthouse is to serve as a learning center that guides local students who are suffering academically according to the school accountability status of NY. The Lighthouse is divided into two buildings, one contains collaborative learning spaces facing the street, and the other contains classrooms with more privacy.

Historically, CO2 emissions had tremendously risen and eventually caused global warming in the modem time. The chosen site is Battery Park-the endpoint of the major New York City climate change protest in 2019. The form of the project is inspired by the diagram of the correlation between CO2 emission and global temperature. Taking the concept of greenhouse gas emission breaking the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, we transformed the diagram into a 3-dimensional space seating on the edge of the battery park
