MODULAR VOLUME SYSTEM (Adaptive Reuse)
April 2023 cardboard, wooden dowels, tape lights, connectors
The former mill factory on 27 Dryden Lane is adaptively reused into a modular library with a particular focus on local residents' education and social life. Audiences are separated into different levels with different objectives. They experience volume changes with varied rhythms and sensations. The essence of the historical architecture is also preserved.
BOATHOUSE FIXTURE April 2023 cardboard, wooden dowels, tape lights, connectors
The wall fixture includes a high bar table, extended shelves, and lighting. Wavy elements continue in the boathouse. Undulatory heights accommodate all ages. Hidden strips of light provide a modest amount of light. A 3*3ft section is rendered and modeled. 03

PROGRAMMING: THREE SPHERES Nov 2021 cardboard, spray paint
This project is inspired following the instructions: “Collect large/medium/small scraps of material or garbage. Using your choice of bounding, stick the pieces. Together to form a 12/6/3-inch tall and wide sphere. Pick a medium in a bright color, and color the sphere. (Above instructions were repeated three times with the changes separated by slashes.) Now, stick the spheres on top of each other, and somehow attach them together.”
