Portfolio from 2012 to 2017
Architecture design is a precise coordination between objectivity and subjectivity. For me, the most fascinating part of designing is to represent people’s belief, emotion and thoughts. Personal sense is always hard to be aware, but sometimes the inconspicuous part is more beautiful and powerful than computer’s intervention. This portfolio is trying to capture those personal senses that interpret with humanity and sharpness. Four projects are selected and presented through extraordinary filter, process, embodiment and objectification. One project is selected from gsapp, which used physical model as a methodology to study material, space and scale, to question time and scale, light and shadow. Three projects are selected from pratt, which is a series stories of my self-inspect, from how I prefer (No.4), to what I am (No.3), and where I from (No.2). All the projects are utilized un-digital way to study, process and produce. A lot of sketches and model pictures are curatorial in this portfolio to celebrate the humanistic interpreting. It was a very enjoyable journey to study the proportion, scale and material through those experiments. This portfolio is an epitome of my personal perspective and position of architecture design. And it is a capture of the beauty of the obscure.
