I worked with Gensler on the San Diego International Airport Terminal 1, a US$3.8 billion effort to redesign and reconstruct the terminal originally built in 1967. The project includes reconfigured roadways, parking, and ground transportation to significantly reduce congestion, while the terminal itself will be a state-of-the-art facility using innovative structural strategies and sustainable approaches. It will accommodate 12 million passengers annually, a substantial increase from the original capacity of 2.5 million. I was responsible for developing detailed components and families in Revit and producing drawing sets for the 90% SD phase in Revit and Bluebeam.
Employer: MAD Architects
Project Location: Jiaxing, China
Project Category: Cultural architecture; public space
Press/Publication: Global Construction Review, Dezeen, DesignBoom, and many more
I worked with MAD Architects on Jiaxing Civic Center, a cultural landmark in the historic city of Jiaxing. The project focuses on providing major public venues and high-quality public spaces, both indoors and outdoors, for residents and visitors. The three buildings form an urban-scale artistic landscape that fuses architecture and nature around a central circular lawn, creating an open yet intimate civic space for interaction. I model architectural and landscape systems using Rhino and Grasshopper, and produce analytical and technical diagrams using AutoCAD and Adobe Suite.
Busan Gadeokdo New Airport (Professional project, 2024)
Employer: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF)
Project Location: Busan, South Korea
Project Category: Transportation; public infrastructure; aviation
I worked with KPF on the Busan Gadeokdo New Airport competition project, which won runner-up. I was in charge of modeling the fixed gangways and the façade for the terminal headhouse and creating technical drawings for client presentations. The proposal from KPF suggests a nature-inspired island terminal whose gently curving X-shaped design maximizes gate efficiency and passenger flow while integrating immersive landscapes, coastal views, and low-carbon infrastructure to sustainably serve up to 23 million passengers by 2065.
De Bord en Bord (Professional project, 2024)
Collaborators: Oliver Shi, Celina Abba, Tanushri Dalmiya
Project Location: Quebec City, Canada
Project Category: Public infrastructure; transportation; housing; urban planning; urban design Award: Silver, International Design Awards 2025; Silver, NY Architectural Design Awards 2025
Press/Publication: Archello, Architizer, the Harvard Urban Review
A response to the Quebec City government’s ambition to reconnect local communities to the St. Lawrence River waterfront, De Bord en Bord is a personal professional project that extends my interest at the intersection of public transportation infrastructure and housing. It attempts to soften the hard infrastructural edges created by the divisive Dufferin–Montmorency freeway and to create an ecological corridor and urban commons through public facilities and housing redevelopment, allowing neighboring communities to reclaim their right to the river.
project, 2022)
Collaborators: Joyce (Siqi) Zhu, Yihan Liu
Instructors: Felipe Vera, Soledad Patino (from the studio “LATIN AMERICA IN TRANSITION”, Fall 2022, at Harvard GSD)
Project Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Project Category: Housing; public infrastructure; urban planning; urban design
Press/Publication: D5 MAG
This is a project I completed during my master’s studies at Harvard GSD that reflects my interest in public housing planning and policy. The proposal takes a radical approach to upgrading Rodrigo Bueno, one of Buenos Aires’ most vulnerable informal settlements, by adopting a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) model under Argentina’s National Law No. 27,328 and introducing both market-rate and government-funded social housing. It also proposes a phasing strategy, modular timber construction, water remediation infrastructure, and flood prevention measures.
Where the Tracks Meet the Canal (Academic project, 2019)
Individual Work
Instructor: Ge Zhong (from the studio “Urban Design”, Fall 2019, at Tsinghua University)
Project Location: Beijing, China
Project Category: Transportation; public infrastructure; urban planning; urban design
This is a project I did during my undergraduate studies at Tsinghua University on urban infrastructure and its impact on surrounding areas. The project is grounded in the idea that public facilities, especially large transportation infrastructure, have the potential to become urban hotspots when they open up and provide public space for everyone. It reimagines the notorious Beijing North Railway Station as a desirable multifunctional destination that connects railways, subways, retail, entertainment, recreation, and the riverfront.
From Soil to Space (Academic project,
2023)
Collaborator: Emily Menard
Instructor: Jungyoon Kim (from the studio “Below, Above, and Beyond”, Spring 2023, at Harvard GSD)
Project Location: Antwerp, Belgium
Project Category: Transportation; public infrastructure; urban planning; urban design; landscape
From Soil to Space is a project that I completed during my master’s studies at Harvard GSD. It investigates how major urban transportation infrastructure affects its surrounding areas and how spatial design can help improve them. This proposal examines how the A102, a massive underground highway excavation project in Antwerp, can impact the area vertically through a cut-and-fill strategy, as multiple kilometers of soil will need to be displaced. It proposes a landscape framework that moves and places soil strategically to create a variety of functions and topographies along the A102 highway.
THE ROLLBERG
BLOCK (Academic project, 2018)
Collaborator: Noa Karmi
Instructor: Lars Steffensen (from the studio “Connector - Community”, Fall 2018, at the Technical University of Berlin)
Project Location: Berlin, Germany
Project Category: Housing; public space
I had the opportunity to study Berlin’s residential neighborhood typologies during my exchange at the Technical University of Berlin. The Rollberg Block, situated on a slope with a 9-meter height difference, follows the form of surrounding blocks and creates an inner courtyard with ground-floor retail, restaurants, and community services facing the streets. The design carefully arranges spaces to maintain the lively Neukölln streetscape, bridge the height difference, and divides the housing complex into small units based on research on the local demography.
Madison
Park (Professional project, 2024)
Collaborators: Yang Fei, Chengzhe Zhang
Project Location: New York City, United States
Project Category: Public space; urban design; landscape architecture Awards: Gold, Muse Awards 2025; Gold, International Design Awards 2024
This is a personal professional project that experimentally reimagines public space in Manhattan, New York. It transforms the iconic Madison Square Park into a subterranean reflective space, where architecture and landscape converge into a meditative journey. Hidden beneath Manhattan’s streets, the design uncovers a primordial architecture that leads visitors through cave-like rooms and semi-enclosed courtyards, dissolving the boundary between natural and built environments.
NATURE WITHIN, FOREST AROUND: THE HOWARD HOUSE
Collaborators: Weichen Wang, Viktor Fomin
Project Location: Franklin Township, Pennsylvania, United States
Project Category: Residential
Project Award: the Buildner Sustainability Award
Press/Publication: ArchDaily, Competitions.archi, Architizer
(Professional project, 2025)
This project is a personal professional project in which I bring sustainability practice into private housing. Nature Within renovates the Howard family’s century-old vacation home near Howard Falls, Pennsylvania, by preserving most of the original envelope and structure to minimize embodied carbon and protect the surrounding forest ecosystem. A carefully placed extension opens the home to the forest, creek, and waterfall while introducing a central winter garden, creating a retreat that balances openness and refuge in dialogue with the landscape.
Collaborators: Shen Tao, Quoc Dang, Solomon Oh
Project Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Project Category: Temporary architecture; public installation
Awards: Honorable Mention, International Design Awards 2024; Honorable Mention, DNA Paris Design Awards 2025
Press/Publication: Architizer
Beach Bloom is a personal professional project, a lifeguard tower on a UAE beach that draws inspiration from Arabic cultural motifs while using sustainability analysis to honor local conditions. The structure features two layers of semi-overlapping curved panels with Arabesque patterns that wrap occupants in shelter from the sun, informed by computational analysis of solar exposure and prevailing winds for natural cooling. The interior pays homage to muqarnas, a traditional Arabic architectural element, through a half-domed canopy.
Crossroads Theater (Academic project, 2020)
Individual Work
Instructor: Xiangdong Lu (from the studio “Public Buildings”, Srping 2020, at Tsinghua University)
Project Location: Beijing, China
Project Category: Cultural architecture; public space
This is a theater project I completed during my studies at Tsinghua University, in which I incorporated the classical theater configuration and the division between the front of house and back of house into the building form itself. I emphasized this separation through two contrasting forms: a white wrapping envelope for the front of house and a simple box for the back of house. The project also provides public space for the city, including outdoor landscapes flanking the theater foyer along busier streets and seating created where the white envelope drapes down to the ground.
Hostel in a 70-year-old Roofter (Academic project, 2019)
Individual Work
Instructor: Yishi Liu (from the studio “Architecture, City, Landscape”, Fall 2019, at Tsinghua University)
Project Location: Beijing, China
Project Category: Adaptive reuse; hospitality
This is a project I did during my undergraduate studies at Tsinghua University on adaptive reuse. The project transforms the roof of a 70-year-old building at Tsinghua University into a hostel, addressing the shortage of summer accommodation for visiting students. Based on on-site measurements, documentation, and research, the design carefully respects the original structure by largely preserving the roof while creating meaningful spaces beneath and between it.
