PROJECT 1

FOOT OFF MARS

After decades of sending multi-billion spacecrafts and rovers to Mars, the American space agency, NASA, is now under presidential orders to land humans on the red planet by 2030s.

The connection between Mars, a planet 34 million miles away, and us, the ordinary majority can be inevitably ambiguous, or critically fictional. The Apollo moon landing, which involved 400,000 workforce and cost 30 billion US dollars, may be just a few photographs for us today. In NASA’s current cultural technology, the rigorous science are melted down to an image of optimistic and romantic space fantasy. In the context of an upcoming new space race, the project suggests a multifaceted spirit for NASA’s journey to boost public interest: The enthusiasm for the unknown, as well as the mundanity, reality and challenges of space exploration.

NASA’S SPACE DREAM POLITICS

Proposed to explore a potential more tangible public-facing strategy and situate a more engaging and grounded experience through different channels in the possible architectural projections, the project articulates a threshold between fiction and reality in NASA’s another giant leap of mankind.

Future City

Partially Partnered with Ruiqi Han RMIT University, 2020

Instructor: Tom Kovac

PROJECT 3

GROWING FILTERING CITY

The future city will grow over time by accumulation, through a collect and distribute system. A frame of filtering filaments are proposed to gather existing discarded environmental waste to re-manufacture into architectural materials for distribution.

Time Frames, Existing Collins Place

Old Circulation, New Space

Movements of visitors in the existing Collins Place are extracted with their corresponding speed and direction, which are adopted as space-time notations to navigate distortion maps that “twist” the existing space.
