Enzymes are vital proteins as they accelerate chemical reactions.
In wine making, commercial enzymes are broadly used for different purposes such as to maximise juice yield, improve aroma compounds, flavour enhancement, colour extraction in red wines, and contribute in the removal of dissolved unwanted substances. The iconic Wine at Waite Event Space (Waite Campus, University of Adelaide) is inspired by enzymes in terms of its function. Likewise, the event space aims at: Maximise the connection and collaboration

Preserve the complexity of vegetation on site.
Encourage public engagement by extending the exhibition space.
The room is categorized into several main funtions and ranked according to their privacy level.
The visitor’s route heavily depends on the privacy of the space. For example except for specialized staff, most staff and visitors do not need access to technical rooms such as boiler and plant room. As the result these spaces can be separated from level 3 and level 4 spaces. Level 4 space, on the other hand is adjacent and shared between level 2 and level 4 spaces.

Oz Mineral Camping Accomodation | Prefabricated modular house
The design of the units aims at minimizing the life cycle energy of the camping accomodation for mining wokers located in Woomera, South Australia, given the site has extremely hot weather with little annual rainfall. Final design modifications attempts to achieve a reasonable payback cost time so that the construction of this prefabricated modular house will be an appropriate and worthwhile investment.
The concept ‘Dusk and Dawn’ took its inspiration from working shifts of workers on site. While some people work mainly during the day, others shift only starts when the sun set. As a result, one unit faces North with shading to maximize the light from the sun. Another unit faces south with the PV panel on the roof to maximize the solar power.
5 principles of passive house design were applied during the design process.
1. HIGHLY INSULATED ENVELOPE
Minimize Exchange with the outdoor environment and stabilize the indoor temperature.
Category: Construction Drawings
Skill Set: AutoCAD, Structural Analysis, Energy-Efficient Design
2. THERMAL BRIDGE FREE Strategy: continuous layer of insulation, minimize corner, bumps-out because they create geometric thermal bridges.
3. OPTIMIZED ORIENTATION WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE WINDOW AND DOOR
Overhang at the north and south facing, low solar heat gain coefficient windows for west and east facades
4. AIRTIGHT ENVELOPE
Ensure that doors, windows, exterior electrical outlets, hose bibs, sill plates are properly sealed to stop heat loss and reduce moisture buildup or loss in cold weather.
5. MECHANICAL VENTILATION AND NATURAL VENTILATION
High window to avoid dusk and let hot air escape through stack ventilation. ERV (Enerrgy Recovery Ventilator) transfers moisture and heat when the outside weather is extreme and windows can not be opened for Natural Ventilation.

Why creating space to perform blindness?
Architecture is often associated with creating visually aesthetic space. Sight and vision is so important in architecture that the famous architect Le Corbusier once reduced the perception of architecture to “the skilful, rigorous and magnificent play of volumes under the light”. Sight is also the most important sensor through which human receives 87 percent of their overall raw sensory information. Conversely, the olfactory, oral and tactiles environments, which are often taken for granted by normal people, means everything to blind people. This performance space aims at creating a space where even blind people can enjoy the exploration and perform themselves in the most comfortable way. On the other hand, the space also mimics the same experience of blind people through the Dark Corridor. This special experience will encourage people to make the most use of other sensorings and understand the space better than just through visual language.
From experimental form generation to designing space that embraces the theme Although the objective of creating architecture for blind people is not different from that for normal people, the approach to architecture for blindness is, totally different. The approach proves inefficiency when tackling the problem of blind people as a blind person can not see the shape of the space, or the color of the wall. Taking the inspiration from my group model “Space for shouting”, I developed the 3D shape of the space and improvised subtle modification to fit the nature of blind people: narrow the wall, block of soil as navigation tool ... The performance space for blindness does not welcome only blind people buteverybody. The space attempts to activate all senses of human through is stuctutre, texture and material . As result, even when visitors close their eyes, they can enjoy the space in a totally different way.
PLAN 1 : 1000 DESIGN
Generating patterns based on group’s section drawing and turning it into 3D model.
Ground manipulation based on patterns and establish the “bridge” connecting the tunnel with surround buildings. This is also the main theme of the design: connecting visually impaired people with the world and grant them with the right to explore without any fear.
Located in the middle of Morilta Natural Reserve in South Australia, the Echo Shelter not only aims at providing a natural amphitheatre without view obstruction towards the park but also attempts to create a private space for human to dwell and rest inside.
The second floor is design without enclosure and lifted from the ground to take full advantage of the views towards the park. The hot, dry summer in this area enables the open pergola to be installed without fear of random rainfall. The second floor is also accessible via a separate stairs that invite visitors upstairs to enjoy the view without intruding
the private space of the residents living in the ground floor.
The ground floor, on the other hand, was enclosed with wood panels and reflective glass window to embrace the beauty of nature and enable dwellers to enjoy their privacy within the shelter.
To avoid intefering the landscape of the sloping site, the shelter rests naturally on the rocky ground lind and pivoted up form the ground by the helix giant screw structure. This design enables vegetation to grow beneath the shelter and air can be ventilated passively.
The 2nd concept was inspired by the shape of Mother Suot’s oar. Mother Suot is a historical character who used her old sailing boat to assist soldiers during the Vietnam war.
Category: Bridge Design Competition
The main theme of the competition was to design a bridge connecting two banks of the river ‘Nhat Le’ (which means Sun’s tear in Vietnamese). As ar result, the concept of the bridge was inspired by the image of a teardrop on the water surface, creating multiple concentric echoing circles. The site analysis pointed out that there were two other existing bridges connecting Nhat Le river. Hence, the main objective of the bridge was proposed to encourage people to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the river. The

circular pathway slows down the speed of vehicle passing the bridge, which was perfectly suitable for this purpose.
During the concept development process, thanks to the use of Rhino and Grasshopper, I was able to test many different shapes and cable design of the bridge, which finally led to 2 main proposals. The design file was later transfered to my colleages to render using Lumion.
Architecture, Courtyard renovation Planning, Hand Drawing
The aim of this project is to renovate Wills Courtyard at the University of Adelaide to be used as soundscape. Consider Adelaide is a Global city with citizens coming from all over the world with different cultural background and so is The University of Adelaide. Each brings to the university his or her own
melody, contributing to students’ complete ensemble. This feature requires the design to be open to various options where the user can decide how they are connected to the site . Here, at Esemble, they are the protagonists of the site.

The small structure in a backyard of an existing house in Adelaide, South Australia is to be used as an AirBnb (see Site Plan). As Adelaide is a very competitive area for AirBnb with an averag occupancy rate up to 66% (Lodgify 2019), we aim at creating a unique staying experience in this AirBnb design. When staying in this AirBnb, the occupants can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the natural thermal comfort and feel really connected with the nature thanks to the greenery coverage (see site plan), huge window for better view. Meanwhile, we also aim at saving for the AirBnb owner through different strategies to make this unit

totally offgrid. The owner will only have to make one worthwhile investment and the building can support itself in terms of water, electricity and energy. The shading device is carefully design to fully shade the building in the summer and allow full sun into the building in the winter. To the west and east facade of the building, two inground raingarden is constructed utilizing the recycled building waste from the reverse brick veneer construction as the garden boundary. All of the vegetation in the garden are native to Adelaide Plains to minimize the need of water for gardening. In this project, I was responsible for designing and reducing the life-cycle carbon of the airbnb unit.
