Daylight Distribution Study
Building Section

During schematic design phase, I completed site analysis for topo, daylight and existing campus planing study. We need to create a new and welcoming edge, while respecting the philosophy of surrounding context. I also joined the user workshop to understand the functional requirements or this building, especially for biology and chemistry department. I originated creative design concepts and developed solutions to design problems. During DD and CD, I worked closely with different consultants and manufactures to sudy the constructability of different design systems and details.

Visitor engagement and a diversity of activities are engendered by aggregating the most prominent programmes of the island.




Studio Project @ TCAUP at University of Michigan I Individual Project Project Year: Fall, 2014

This project focus on studying where the form of structure becomes decoration and the uses of mathematical algorithms and patterned structural systems are often based on forms in nature where the complexity is a synergistic architecture. The use of overt patterning with structural systems blur the line between what is structural and what is decorative, and results in a decoration that is both below and in the surface, that creates new spatial effects and holistic atmospheres.


PARAMETRIC SUSTAINABLE FACADE OPTIMIZATION




Studio Project @ TCAUP at University of Michigan I Group Project
Groupmates: Elitsa Slavova, Chia - Hsing Chang
Location: Sandanski, Bulgaria
Project Year: Fall, 2014
Role of Me: Geometric Design, Grasshopper Modeling





Media: Rhino, Grasshopper, Diva for Rhio, Design Builder
Goal of this project is to learn how to design optimal facades in continental mediterranean climate.. In the first part, the dynamic simulation tools “Design Builder” is used to analyse the energy system. The second part is focused on the use of generic optimization tools “Diva for Rhino” together with “Grasshopper”. At last, a physical model of the optimized solution is fabricated with Robot.
