CONVERGING, A CHURCH FOR ALL FAITHS.
Project Statement
In analyzing the neighborhood conditions of the Fillmore District, a visible racial boundary is isolating local ethnic communities from sharing culture and economic benefits. The segregation of this boundary was established based on historical events such as immigration or languages. This in turn has caused societal problems of poverty, child abuse, and severe family conflict within disadvantaged groups. These issues become the fragments existing within the community that needs to be pieced together to erase the achievement gap between groups.

VITALIZING, A MULTIFAMILY HOUSING COMPLEX.
Project Statement
Washington Courtyard is community-oriented in the heart of the Historic Oakland District. The intent of the project is to provide a sense of balance of openness, welcome, privacy, safety, and equality within diverse ethnicity and economy for the community. The design proposal expresses this through circulation and access and creating open green spaces regards to biophilic for the residents. The residents will gain access to daylight, view, and air quality. A sustainable, strong, and healthy community is enhanced.

CHAOTIC, AN ART THEATER.
Project Statement
For art performers, there are numerous distinct methods of applying their own concepts to perform art. My objective for this project is to generate spaces filled with endless choices of discovering, performing, and interacting with unlimited experiences of artists performing. The term “chaotic” refers to the concept of “Manhattanism” described by Rem Koolhaas which spatial quality can be functioning while being flexible and adaptive to unexpected random moments and programs happen. This project provides opportunities for art performers, locals, and visitors to intersect with each other.

SPREADING, A FASHION LAB. 05
Project Statement
The project is based on biological research that generated an algorithmic logic of assembly and making. Cervical dysplasia is defined as a precancerous condition in which abnormal cell growth occurs on the surface of the cervix. After an excessive growth of abnormal cells, a solid mass, known as a tumor gets formed. Assembling, mushrooming, expanding, and squeezing are the main behaviors that control the algorithm of the tumor’s growth. The building is a metamorphosis, its program mutates as well as its architectural and structural elements through the generation of variegated surfaces that become landscape, louver, and structural systems.
