Portfolio Theme My Portfolio focuses on new living modes testing.There are numbers of issues occupying people's daily life, some related to a circle of people, others even bother the safety of a region of people. In order to create a better world, these issues should be solved gradually and naturally, instead of just publishing a legilation or law.

In my opinion,architecture is the combination of artistic imagination of future and practical solution. It can be a method of ploblem solving, a DOOR explores the XQNQRZQ ÀHOG ,W LV DQ LPDJLQDWLRQ WKDW GHDOLQJ ZLWK WKH UHDOLW\ issues.

The Site Bathhouse is an introspective, fully immersive embodied sensory experience of water, light, scents, sound and temperature. The ruin was used for coastal defense, facing the sea, watching the waves. The building is guarding the waves.
