Station 3

In the heart of China’s industrial past, in a former Third Front Movement factory where machines have stopped and smokestacks stand idle, we propose a new type of space: the Eidetic Dream Archive and Academy.

This institution will serve as both repository and incubator for the collective unconscious of a society in transition, mapping the liminal territory between China’s industrial heritage and its imagined futures. We use dreams as a medium—transforming them into immersive experiences that are visible, legible, audible, and tactile.

We invite individuals who once lived through this historical era— the subjects—to record their dreams as archival imprints of personal and collective memory. Alongside them, we engage the younger generation—the witnesses—to contribute their dreams as reflections of inherited memory, speculation, and projection.

In this way, dreams become a shared medium across generations, allowing us to build a layered archive that transcends time, trauma, and transformation.

The project is located in Hubei, China, an industrial city that experienced significant development during the Third Front Movement in the 1960s. This movement, initiated by the Chinese government, aimed to establish a self-sufficient industrial base in the country's interior for strategic and defense purposes. However, as economic reforms and urbanization progressed, many of these industrial sites were gradually abandoned, leaving behind underutilized infrastructure and decaying urban spaces.

type A music booth

Connect to second Floor

This project envisions an innovative acoustic building where music harmonizes with diverse activities, creating a dynamic and immersive environment.

Located in Manhattan, New York City, the design weaves together spaces for music performances, yoga, and social gatherings, fostering a community-centered atmosphere.

At the core of the building are multiple music booths, each housing a live musician. Through a network of carefully designed acoustic channels, the sound flows outward into adjacent spaces— yoga rooms, corridors, courtyards, and market areas—enriching every activity with a tailored auditory atmosphere. While visitors hear the music throughout the building, but the performers remain unseen, creating a sense of mystery and immersion.

A system of directional pipes and sound-leak structures allows sound to travel seamlessly, sometimes producing a surreal experience where one sees a musician performing but hears the music of another, subtly layered to enhance the rhythm and energy of each space.

Urban Puzzles: The Renovation of Gotham Park

Program: Public Park Site: Gotham Park, Manhattan, NYC Insturctor: Eunjeong Seong Collaborater: Wei Hang

This project focuses on the renovation of Gotham Park, located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. Situated beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, Gotham Park is surrounded by a diverse and complex urban landscape, including civic buildings, commercial areas, schools, and residential neighborhoods. Spanning approximately nine acres, the park’s renovation aims to create a dynamic and inclusive public space that serves the Lower East Side community and welcomes people from all walks of life.

The design is driven by the community’s daily activities and needs, incorporating features such as a skate park, children’s playground, community garden, sports courts, an indoor market, and open plazas for temporary events or gatherings.

These elements are carefully arranged along landscape pathways that serve as boundaries, organizing the space while promoting seamless integration. Inspired by a puzzle-like approach, the design allows each program to fit together cohesively, enabling multiple activities to take place simultaneously without disruption.

VERTICALIZATION OF TIBER

Program: Performing Center+ Student Apartments Site: Tiber River, Rome, Itatly Insturctor: Federica Vannuchi Collaborater: Julia Liu

This building is located along the Tiber River in Rome, Italy. The design explores the verticalization of Rome’s urban fabric by reimagining the traditional piazza.

Different prototypes of piazzas are stacked vertically, creating a unique spatial arrangement that accommodates a variety of uses, including performance spaces, theaters, performing Institute and Pilgrim Caravanserai.

This architectural project is located adjacent to the historic San Michele building, which has previously served as an orphanage, women’s prison, and hospice for the infirm. Drawing inspiration from the plan of San Michele, we analyzed its solid and void relationships and applied these principles to the elevation of our design.

In reimagining the site’s historical functions, we transformed the old programs of San Michele into new ones.This adaptive reuse breathes new life into San Michele, reactivating the space while respecting its historical essence.

Model Collage We envision the piazza as a stage—a space where people gather, encounter one another, perform rituals, and celebrate. Inspired by Antonio Joli’s View of the Flooded Piazza Navona, we draw parallels between the theatricality of the painting and the design of our own space. Like the painting, the piazza we create becomes a dynamic platform for public life, inviting occupation, transformation, and reinterpretation.

INFINITY MUSEUM

Program: a Museum Showcasing Rinko Kawauchi’s Photography, Site: Transmitter Park, Brooklyn, New York City Instructor: Adam Elstein

The design of this museum is dedicated to exhibiting the photography works of Rinko Kawauchi. Inspired by the delicate, poetic nature of her images, the architectural concept seeks to reflect the quiet intimacy and fleeting beauty captured in her photographs.

The building, situated at the center of the East River as an extension of Transmitter Park, uses light, reflection, and spatial irregularity to evoke a sense of infinity and immersion.

Aggregated bisymmetric hendecahedrons shape the structure, creating irregular walls and a dynamic roofline. These geometric forms, known for their asymmetrical yet balanced qualities, generate shifting perspectives and fragmented reflections, mirroring the soft, ethereal atmosphere present in Kawauchi’s work. Mirrors and glass surfaces amplify the spatial experience, allowing visitors to engage with photography from multiple angles, as if enveloped by infinite layers of imagery. The interplay between light and reflection reimagines the boundaries between art and viewer, making the act of observation part of the artistic encounter.

ZERO PRORGAM

Program: Refuge Emergency Shekter Site: Marcy Ave, Brooklyn, New York City Instructor: Salvatore Tranchina Collaborator: Sharon Wang

The project envisions a community apartment complex aimed at providing private, adaptable, and inclusive housing for new refugees in New York City. The design focuses on fostering a sense of belonging and support by integrating diverse living spaces, shared communal areas, and opportunities for social interaction. Apartments vary in size and layout to accommodate individuals and families, with features like private gardens and flexible interiors to suit different needs. The building’s lower levels serve as layered public landscapes, offering spaces for gathering, recreation, and quiet reflection—creating a seamless blend of privacy and community. This design not only addresses the immediate need for shelter but also cultivates a supportive environment for new beginnings.

Tiled Minimal Surface

Year: 2024-Present, Morphology Minor Instructor: Haresh Lalvini

This studio focuses on exploring the representation of form and space through minimal surface geometries, with this semester’s emphasis on the Diamond Lattice structure. Our goal is to replicate the smooth, continuous surfaces designed in Grasshopper and Rhino using uniformly sized, tiled wooden panels.

To achieve precise alignment, we incorporated three holes in each panel that match the dimensions of the pins used for positioning. We 3D-printed molds with corresponding holes for the pins, ensuring accurate placement of every tile. Additionally, laser-cut holes in the wooden tiles further guide the assembly process, minimizing errors and enhancing precision. A layer of wax paper is placed between the molds and the wooden panels. This layer allows pins to easily pass through while ensuring the panels can be easily removed from the mold after gluing. The molds are reusable, making the process efficient and sustainable.

This initial testing with small-scale panels provides valuable insights and allows us to envision larger, more ambitious structures. The prospect of constructing these forms at a human scale is particularly exciting and opens up new possibilities for spatial and architectural exploration.

This project is located in Wenzhou and is designed for Kean College as a multi-functional gymnasium to accommodate students’ sports activities and school events. The gymnasium is situated in the southeastern corner of the campus, adjacent to the school’s sports field.

In our design, we aim to emphasize both indoor and outdoor spaces, transforming the exterior of the gymnasium into a circulatory viewing platform for students. This extended platform allows students to pause, gather, and enjoy views of the sports field and surrounding mountains.

For this project, I was primarily involved in the early design phase, contributing through hand-drawn massing studies, SketchUp modeling, and Enscape rendering.
