Preface

A working volume about design, methodology and tools.

The portfolio contents 5 parts, with 2 projects in each part, a smaller one and a larger one.

Each part of the portfolio has one specific topic, which shows my design as well as the thinking, methodology and tools. The first 4 larger projects are from my 4 semester at Master of Architecture program, HKU. And the smaller projects are mainly my design and making projects in Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology. The practical works are from my intern practice in China Architecture Design and Research Group (Beijing), and Handel Architects (Hong Kong).

CAAM[aking] Automation_Computer aided architectural Making

The laser cut machine reads lines and curves as the same information. The “digital revolution” initially brought “virtual representations” of the real world, but the line between virtual drivers and real outcomes – has become increasingly blurred. “Virtual reality” increasingly influences and controls outcomes in the real world. The real world is taking on forms and behaviors that have carried over from virtual representation, and this phenomenon extends to architectural expression.

Weaving Pavilion

Project Time -1 Month, 04/2012----05/2012 Location - Campus of XAUAT, Xi'an, China

The pavilion aims to provide a new form of temporary light structure for childrens to play with in a way of going in and out. The pavilion tested the whole process from space, material, joints, fabrication, and budget controlling as a miniarchitectrue project within one month.

Reciprocal Frame Structure A reciprocal frame is a class of self-supporting structure made of three or more beams and which requires no center support to create roofs, bridges or similar structures. Here in this project we try to extend the reciprocal beam into a cricle to abtain more suporting points, so that the force on material will be more average.

Automation and Design of the Envelope M Arch 2 • Fall Semester 2013, Studio Instructor, Martin Riese

This studio researched and explored the integration and manifestation of automation into the process of designing architectural facades. The starting point for the use of automation tools was the management of “overall project control geometry” and the directly interconnected detailed “instantiation” and assembly of the actual elements of the building envelope into that framework.

Temperature and wind variation in urban Hong KONG

Heat Island Effect Data from the Green Power Organization shows that: Urban centres are hotter than margin areas by 1.1 to 5.5 °C. Temperature rises by 2 to 6 °C for every kilometre from urban margin towards the centre.

Temperatures at large green spaces in the city (e.g. park) are 2.0 to 3.2 °C lower than that at the hottest spot in urban centre, indicating a clear cooling effect of green spaces in the city.

Temperatures near channel in the city are 2.3 to 3.5 °C lower than that at the hottest spot in urban centre, indicating a clear cooling effect of urban rivers in the city.

Facade Variation According to the sun shading analysis the color scheme of the building envilope could be generate. The color scheme could be pixelated and transfer as units data. Those units data could be as the driver of control the curvature of the generating surface.

Distribution of wind directions influenced by the buildings around Central, Hong Kong

Air Turblence In fluid dynamics, turbulence is a flow regime characterized by chaotic property changes. This includes low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection, and rapid variation of pressure and velocity in space and time. In turbulent flow, unsteady vortices appear on many scales and interact with each other. Drag due to boundary layer skin friction increases.

Scenery of [In]visible Construction of the invisible scenery in the viewer's mind

“but in the case of the novel you must consider that in the succession of sentences only one sensation can pass at a time, whether it be individual or general, whereas the breadth of the visual field and the auditory field allows the simultaneous recording of a much richer and more complex whole. indeed, the things that the novel does not say, and only a special halo around what is written can give the illusion that you are reading also what is unwritten.”

Project Time -1 Month, 04/2010----05/2010 Location - Campus of XAUAT, Xi'an, China

The pavilion aims to provide a new form of temporary viewing device for passengers with a brand new experience. The pavilion tested the whole process from space, material, joints, fabrication, and budget controlling as a miniarchitectrue project within one month.

Visible & Invisible The idea is to create a lot of tubes through which people can gain a lot of changeable view scenes. When passing by this place, the hidden and viewable scenes behind the leaves are always so attractive.

Perception of Invisible

Master of Architecture Thesis M Arch 2 • Spring Semester 2014, Thesis Supervisor, Thomas Tsang

“Granted there’s a wall, what’s going on behind it?” The thesis is attempt to see, how to change the controlling element (e.g. the window), not only to affect what we see, but also what we imagine. So, instead of constructing the visible scenery, the thesis focus on how to construct the invisible scenery as well as the perception of invisible.

Play of The Wall The space narrative is constructed on the balance between known information and unknown information. The viewers see the known information and try to guess the unknown information. And that compose the story with the an open ending. 4D narrative is the narrative based on the issue of time. The viewers experience the period from unknown to known. And the process of the reveal become a story that attracts the viewers during the whole experience period.

Scholar's Rock What’s unique of the Chinese scholar rocks is that it contents infinite of information and the when you frame it in different part/ or different scale of it, you will have different findings.

Different viewers will have their own understanding of the Chinese scholar rocks and each time they see it, there will be new discovery.

Image of the site_ Pingjiang District, Suzhou

Pingjiang, Suzhou

Courtyard, white wall, water, bamboo, low plants together with the Taihu Rocks, compose the image of the site, which contents countless layers of information to be discovered.

All these elements are constructed based on or affected by the traditional philosophy of infinity which was pursued by the ancient Chinese scholars.

Visible/Invisible Separating the space into two parts: one is what we see by our eyes, which is the revealed part through the window, and the other part is what we imagine in our mind, which is the concealed part behind the wall.

Public Gallery The project program is an open public gallery with free access from the street.

The whole gallery contents six moments with a guided but not forced sequence.

Each moment has two ways to go in and experience, from which different scenes can be seen.

Vacant Inbetween Gaps The unique element for the design project is the long time formed lanes in Pingjiang Historical District. Most of the lanes are quite narrow with quite a lot of turnings. When walking in this area, many surprise can be discovered unexpectedly. A river, a piece of rock, a bridge, an old house may appear suddenly in front the tourists. This feature of the area provides a lot of opportunities for the project to arrange the Chinese scholar rocks. Actually the design project occupies the vacant gaps in between the old houses and courtyards an one area of existing buildings which are planned to be demolished in the future.

Model Layout Infinity, as an philosophical aim, is pursued by the ancient Chinese scholars, in the fields of painting, calligraphy garden construction and other art area. What’s important of the construction of infinity is that it is composed form the limited, which means the key issue of infinity philosophy is how to create as more as meanings form as less as material. This can be obviously seen in the art of Chinese paintings. The artists spent their whole life attempt to use less and less strokes to create more and more meanings in the canvas.

The pictures showed the new representation of architectural space when I changed mysesf into the 1:10 model in the sdudio.

Skill of Scale

Physical model as a method to explore the architectural spaces

In recent decades models have made a contribution to architectural discourse that should not be underestimated. Models always take on a life of their own, turning into a realisation of what architecture promises, yet can never attain itself. For many architects, the architectural design process is not on the construction site, but in the model making room or fabrication studio. In this way, the skill of scale become an essential theme for architects to explore.

Acoustic & Sightline-sculpted skins M Arch 1 • Fall Semester 2012, Studio Instructor, Make Hemel

The aim of the project is to develop true design-complexity. The studio define complexity as where one architectural aspect is capable of doing more that one job at the same time. It didn't only concentrate on the skin, but also asked the skin to be structural, architectural, light filtering and performing in an acoustic manner.

Performing on Slope Slope as natural performing space, provides good view and sound quality between the performer and the audience. In ancient time, people made use of the mountain as theater or other performing space.

This can be seen in many historical Chinese and Greece theaters.

4th Dimension of Architecture Unfolding the architectural space in time

"Time is Space." When space unfolded in time, stories may get revealed in particular narrative, and this creates many opportunities for architects and other artists to generate new kind of architecture or art works. M. C. Escher created his famous painting Ascending and Descending in 1960s and UN studio also designed a house called Mobius House to response the topic of 4-D space.

Time Machine for Living in Sculpting in Time: Cinema, Housing, and Genius Loci M Arch 1 • Spring Semester 2013, Studio Instructor, Anderson Lee

The seemingly “free-falling” nature of the studio aims to arouse the non-cognitive aspect of the design process where one could possibly benefit from it. In this instance, Time is at the core which will be “associated” with three distinctive elements which deal with the issue of time respectively: Cinematic experience, Housing typological evolution and Site historical transformation.

4-D Space When space unfolded in time, stories may get revealed in particular narrative, and this creates many opportunities for architects and other artists to generate new kind of architecture or art works. M. C. Escher created his famous painting Ascending and Descending in 1960s and UN studio also designed a house called Mobius House to response the topic of 4-D space.
