Located at the intersection of the main campus and the engineering precinct, the EDB will house impaction research in novel bio materials, chemical synthesis, geo-mechanics and production, and computation engineering for the Cockrell School of Engineering.

Designed to foster collaboration and forge industry partnerships, the EDB has informal meeting spaces, lounges and expansive outdoor amenity spaces.

My role has gradually migrated in the duration of the project. In design phases (late SD and DD phase), I develop design studies for Value Engineering, and coordinate core and shell design under supervision of project manager in supporting code studies, life safety studies, and area calculations to achieved multiple stakeholder’s expectations at the university.

In CD phase, I focused on detailing for core and shells . In CA phase, I am in charge of documentations, LEED tracking, submittal review, answering RFIs, as well as communicate our design intension with consultants, contractors, and owners.

CND LAB Sciences was looking for a new office layout that can facilitate their test kits and lab work flow in support of the scientists in the facility. Designed to foster collaboration, the users was looking for solutions to foster collaboration research, and requested informal and formal meeting spaces, open offices, receiving and delivering, and expansive outdoor amenity spaces. The client was also hopping to expand the lab to the other tenant area in the future.

This project focuses on building tectonics and environmental systems with a series of confetti structures. The massing blocks lie at random, as if confetti was thrown, on the site. Everyone has their own entrance and semiprivate outdoor space, and each unit is strategically placed to receive an ample amount of sunlight. The complex contains commercial, 3- 2and 1-bedrooms, and studio apartments. The units are configured according to the user. Each resident upon move in will be given a blank slate apartment with one to two plumbing cores, windows, and doors. It will be up to the resident to design the interior layout of their apartment. Circulation to each unit is unique, as there is no circulation core or hallway, with cuts through outdoor spaces and courtyards, inevitably minimizing building costs.

The project explored how natural and artificial lighting affected sustainable design decisions to achieve net-zero energy building goals and create a better indoor lighting environment for the library. Combined with a variety of passive and active designs, the new library building pursued the concept of a renewable energy community grid to provide additional energy for the neighborhoods, which could avoid high electricity demand in summer and winter. The project strongly influenced my understanding of the environmental systems and has contributed to my career goal for addressing sustainable design issues with a more comprehensive vision, by established a collaborative platform through BIM working habits and leading evident-based approaches.

ACADEMIC WORKS THE GREAT STINK 2022 University of Michigan Aiir Grant Awarded Project Type / Individual Thesis, in collaboration with Adam Chase from Music school Project Year / 2022 Instructor/ Anay Sirota

THE GREAT STINK, an experimental mini-operetta in three acts, seeks to explore how collaboration between architecture, performance, and engineering can stimulate an understanding of systems in the built environment typically left unseen. To tell the story of hidden hygienic systems and their environmental impact, the project repositioned the residential bathrooms as a scenographic. In this scenario, plumbing pipes are re-imagined as instruments, hardware as props, and wet walls are refashioned into sets. Using standard elements in surprising ways and through calibrated juxtaposition, The Great Stink, namely plumbing and the human activities that require it, casts a new light on what we culturally prefer to ignore, The Libretto, in this approach, serves as a narrative trope that questions Eurocentric ideals around physical transcendence, perfectionist fantasy, and the environmental impacts these cultural constructs create.
