LAYING OUT & PICTURING

Inlayingout&picturing,Idevelopedmy design for a university entrance gate and central garden through a series of steps. I started by sketching and brainstorming ideas, then transitioned to creating a 3D model using Sketchup Afterrefiningthedesignin3D,Icreated renderings to visualize the final appearance and built physical models for better spatial understanding. This process allowed me to clearly communicate my design vision for the projecttoothers

PROJECT YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER

The design of the building is inspired by the bamboo tree, which symbolizes the strength, resilience, and solidarity of the Vietnamese people. The building's club and youth cultural center are also inspired by bamboo. Softly curved roof, creating a sense of flexibility and lightness, inspired by the shape of the legendary hero Gióng's weapon,thecrescentblade.

STUDY PAVILION TDM

This project involved working with an existing site that already included outdoor furniture, greenery, a hot air conditioning system, and a restroom area. However, we identified a challenge: the natural land elevation was lower than surrounding areas, causing flooding during the rainy season.

To address the flooding issue, we implementedthefollowingsolutions:

Raised Floor: We used conwood to create a raised floor, elevating the usablespaceabovethefloodlevel.

Furniture Reuse: Existing outdoor furniture was reused whenever possible,promotingsustainability.

Outdoor Amenities: Additional outdoorfacilitieswereincorporated: Laying net for having a rest duringlunchtime

Check-in area for emphasizing schoolbrand

Semi-wall for privacy and coverage of the restroom area andhotairconditioningsystem.

PHYSICAL MODELS

During my sophomore year, I had the opportunity to work on several architectural models that helped me understand key concepts like spatial organization, structural principles, design composition, and adherence to building codes. These models included Green summer pavilion, Section of industrial structure a physical model exploring the impact of atrium placement on natural light, or a digital model testing the load-bearing capacityofdifferentroofstructures

ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY

During my junior year, I delved into architectural photography, capturing a variety of spaces including the grand interiors of a historic palace and the modern, light-filled atrium of a contemporary office building. This experience deepened my understanding of visual elements like framing to emphasize key architectural features, utilizing a limited color range to create a sense of serenity in the theater, and strategically placing people within the atrium to demonstratescaleandfunctionality
