LIGHT SPRING | CUE 2017 INTERNATIONAL LIGHT DESIGN COMPETITION

Portfolio | Feng Le 04

Due to Toronto’s extreme wintery weather, it restricts and limits the amount of time that people can spend outdoors. Thus, leading to isolation of the beach and lack of social interactions. The purpose of the design aims to transform the beach into an all y4ear glamorous tourist

attraction that not only creates a communal space but also improves interaction in a warm and welcoming environment. A dis shape is chosen for this design because it is circular flat and light reflective, which allows light to be easily transmitted and draws attention. Warmth is the main feature that keeps visitors in the space. Hence, haptic devices are inserted within the poles of the design to detect human presence, which on one hand generates and regulates

heat automatically, and on the other hand, lights up the diss and radiates the space.

THE OPEN HOUSE| MARVIN 2018 STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION

Portfolio | Feng Le 07

The open house is centered around the concept of diffusion of space, where the distinction of the interior and exterior are blurred through a series of interconnected courtyards. The design aims to create a nature-induced lifestyle which focuses on the connection between people and their environments a concept unseen in traditional design strategies. The interior courtyards provide a shared space between people and other natural organisms, to create less disturbance

on local ecosystems. I have designed a home that provides a true sensorial experience which allows the user to connect to the roots of the landscape. Using Marvin Windows, I aim to provide a smooth transition between these two opposing environments.

NEST | ARC201 COURSE

Portfolio | Feng Le 15

The “Nest” is a project that takes inspiration from structural composition of various bird’s nest. The structure features three hierarch of structural elements that is based on a system of supports. The sixteen columns act as the primary structural element from which anchoring points for the secondary structural elements which are located

on the sides and establish the overall form of the project.

From their tertiary structures grow from the secondary structures to make up the facades of the structure and provides a sense of cover through its dense overlap.
