As the Atlanta beltline proposes a new light rail project, the facade perpendicular to the beltline resembles the old Atlanta Union Station, which was unfortunately demolished in 1971.

GOTHIC FIGURATION AND DEEP DECORATION FALL 2020 -

This project is developed through research and design, specifically working on the problem of decoration, which has been banned from architecture since the early 1900s. (“Ornament and Crime“ - Adolf Loos) With decoration generally being viewed in direct opposition to depth, the project focuses on how it can charge the atmosphere and space itself.

The project is divided into two parts. First being the research phase of figuration and configuration, where the C, J, S-figures are extracted and analyzed from Gothic Tracery. Then, the design phase focused on proposal for a newcomers club in the site of Chicago, to help immigrants be better acquainted with the chicago community.

“Ornament and Crime“

-Adolf Loos

The eight-storey building is proposed in the corner site of Chicago, developed from C-figure “sheets“ created with Machine 4. The density of configuration determines the circulation paths within the structure. Ornament, decoration, charges the space: it does not wrap it, rather, ornament permeates space.

Chicago has one of the largest and most diverse immigrant populations in the country. The Newcomers Club will provide each member with opportunities to become better acquainted with the community.

“Worm’s Eye Perspective into Slots”

Precedent: Sportbars, 1997, LTL Architects

Instead of simply wrapping the large volume with the sheets as if the are merely facades, they are multipled throughout the volume. The density of patterns create flexibility within spaces, allowing for programs to successfully adapt, as well as creating pathway within.

The nodes of “apple“ configuration patterns are thoroughly considered as it will become the structural nodes for beams.

Buildner Architecture Competition Team Project with Alex Zhang, Linna Xia Role: Representation, Concept Development

The next 4 pages showcase selected series of projects and conceptual proposals for my hometown Mashiki, Kumamoto which was severely affected by the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake disaster. As the Mashiki will go through town redevelopment for the upcoming years, this proposal will visualize the future townscape of Mashiki.

Rebuilding a home for my family with BROCK architecture firm in Kumamoto Japan. The significant contribution I’ve made is the plan proposal, which recreates the atmosphere and circulation paths of our “old house“ built in mid Showa-era, in a cost-efficient and modern way. This project was built in 2019, and currently working on our exterior landscape design.
