UNDERGRADUATE ARCHITECTURE THESIS

While the aluminum screen controls light and heat gain during the day, it acts as a permeable membrane in the evening, allowing light from within the highrise to effuse with a soft glow. Activities of inhabitants in more public areas of the highrise such as anterooms, corridors, and living rooms are partiall visible to outsiders.

Zhejiang Medicine is a pharmaceutical company with five subcompanies, specializing in the large scale production of vitamins, antibiotics, and other products. David Chipperfield Architects was appointed to design the first headquarters for Zhejiang Medicine, as well as surrounding buildings which would form a new industrial complex for the company. I was heavily involved with the new project from the beginning of the schematic design phase, and was placed in charge of multiple design responsibilities including producing renders such as the one above. The rendering was produced by first modeling in Rhinoceros, then exporting to Maxwell Render for the textures and lighting effects. Finally, post production was done in Photoshop.
