Once it was broken, the edges of fragments as new lines created new forms. As for those curves I painted on the surface of the cup, I tried to let them continuously grow from one center, extending from inside to outside surface, which become more conspicuous as a conference that point out the orientation of the open spaces.
II.Form Exploration
This form was made by the two groups of fragments test trimmed seperately by a cylinder and a disordered shape. In this case, the current objects has a potetial force of rotation.

III.Spacial Value
To add spacial value of the structure, the torsional objects become the structural element inside, and the slabs extends along with it.

Concepts: “s“shape skin, supported by a big cantilever Programs: Auditorium, classrooms,library, administration,office, waiting room,gym
site plan with longitutional section N 0 100ft
To start with, I find an “L“ shape to echo the edge of the site, which also remains the space between the two buildings in this block.Since the school is in the flood zone, before all the transformation, it needs to be elevated at the first.
Next step is to find a symmetrcal line as a neutral system. Later it will maintain the core circulation and transition.
In order to break the boundary between the crossing (streetview)and the front court, a diagonal line is inserted. Therefore, visitors and drivers can translucently see park through the whole building.
The diagonal system also effects the shape furtherly, including the twisted auditorium on the ground and the neutral system.
With slight adjustment of relationship between masses (programs)and the blank (court yard), the skin eventually increase the reaction vertically and horizontally.

Apartment Unit and House Unit Study:
There are two types of house units with similar shapes, but each one has different apartment unit and space organization to fit in different user groups: the right (family type)caters to the people live with families; the left (hostel type)caters to the young adult like with their friends or strangers.

The chunk model is to integrate the wood CNC, laser and resin fabrication study together, emphasizing some individuals among some uniformed elements of house units.

Orgel Spring 2022
The chunk design started with one part of Higgins Hall building (chunk 24) . I was impressed by the arch and curved poche, so that I develop the basic poche to a pattern and gave it a chance to transform as a wall, a sepcial beam and a joist.

Valley Fall 2021
Developed from a collage of several moments about structure joints and then modified to emphasize the connections between elements.
In Chinese culture’s perception, the valley is a space that seems hallowed but ca pable of containing everything, including wind, water, stone, and the lives.
