MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING
In this project, the 65 units mixed-use housing next to downtown Santa Ana aims to create a dynamic and inviting courtyard space that serves as a central gathering place for residents and visitors alike every plalce. Each residential unit features a unique front porch and hallway that can be customized to reflect the resident’s personality, fostering a sense of ownership and pride. The building includes amenities such as a daycare center, community room, reading room, game room, and gym to create a comfortable and functional space, which also increase the chance to activate the space. The building’s exterior is made of sustainable and durable materials like stucoo, bamboo panel and glass.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN - FLORAL INTERNATIONAL AIPORT
In this project, I am using artificial intelligence text to image generator - MidJourney as a tool to bring my architectural concept to life. My goal is to design a landmark for a country that offers a truly unique and memorable experience for travelers. To achieve this, I am drawing inspiration from flowers to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere within the terminal. The main terminal building is shaped like a large flower bud, symbolizing the country’s potential for growth and development. The fluid pathway leading to the airside and landside facilities is mimicking the flow of petals, while also guiding travelers to gates. This inspiration is reflected not only on the exterior, but also in the specific details, such as the incorporation of flower-inspired columns within the terminal, which will make it stand out among other airports. This project represents an exciting opportunity for me to push the boundaries of airport design and create a truly beautiful and memorable space for travelers to enjoy.
WAITING AREA IN FRONT OF GATES
The flower-inspired columns, not only serve as functional elements of the design but also serve as a striking visual feature throughout the terminal. A gathering and resting space is designed around the column at main lobby, providing travelers with a comfortable and inviting place to wait or meet with friends, colleagues, or family members while traveling. The spaces are designed with comfortable seating, lighting, and charging points to take a break from the trip. The check-in point consists of self-help machines to print boarding pass and baggage tag to check in for their flights.
Supporting by supported by a series of flower-inspired columns, the waiting area at the gate is designed to be a welcoming and comfortable space for travelers. The waiting area is designed with large windows that allow natural light to flood in, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The windows also provide views of the surrounding landscape, allowing travelers to enjoy the beauty of the country while they wait for their flight.

MOUNTAIN WILSON SCIENTIST’S RETREAT
The project is a combination of private space for astronomers with a public observation deck, located in Mountain Wilson, California. Overlooking Downtown Los Angeles and Pacific Ocean, I decided to approach it vertically, which also meet the brief requirements to limit the touching surface with the site due to sustainable reason. The general form focuses on shifting boxes to break down the scale and also to find a structure grid easily. The public viewing deck is on the first floor and will not affect astronomers’ life while they can access the deck easily since the research office is just one floor upper. Steel moment frames and I-beam trusses serve as structural components, while cement cladding and glass serve as the exterior enclosure.

MUSEUM OF JAPANESE CONTEMPORARY ART
Located in Little Tokyo, the museum was built to exhibit two Japanese artists: Chiharu Shiota and Yoshitomo Nara. The initial concept of the museum project was inspired by the Everson Museum by I. M. Pei with its L shape massing. The main concept of the project is to intersect different volume of L shapes by adding process to create hierarchy spaces and envelope. As program began to be arranged into the museum, I developed a grid system to arrange all the programing into the museum since the L shape is matching with it perfectly. The front of house which include public area and exhibition galleries and the back of house which include support and staff program. The back of house is all located at the ground level and basement level.

ACADAMIC ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL
The school of architectures is a project to redesign the decaying iconic Cal Poly Pomona CLA Building. I started with figure ground study and developed a kissing curves concept. The program contains model shop, fab lab, gallery, lecture, and seminar spaces on the plinth and 10 studio spaces and 2 administrations in the tower. The plinth has a domain pathway that connect students from Rose Garden and School of Business Administration. There is another pathway cut through the plinth and the tower to connect Japanese Garden and the back of library. When I think of the school of architecture, I will think of the dynamic atmosphere.To achieve the atmosphere, I decided to make the tower a translucent glass box. I also have secondary stairs to display students’ circulation around studio spaces. To protect the tower from sunlight. I created a façade system that was inspired by KFW Westarkade to have angled glazing. The kissing curves patterns will be frosted windows that are angled to diffuse the light while the flat ground part of the façade will be clear window that was offset 4 feet inward to create an overhang and also serves as an outdoor balcony space.

Photography is a hobby that allows me to discover beauty in the everyday and capture it in a way that can be shared and appreciated by others. It is a way for me to see the world in a new perspectives. When traveling, I am particularly drawn to exploring different environments, from grand architectural structures to the small details of daily life. I enjoy observing people in different spaces and how they interact within the space. Photography allows me to document my travels and the unique moments I experience along the way.
