Icon Wheelchair Center This design evokes a sense of community and family for people with both physical and psychological challenges. Instead of limit the activities and exercise inside a walled space, movement around the building itself could be implied as an unconscious behaviour of exercising and rehabilitating.
Toronto Urban Renascence By introducing new collective housing and urban fabrics to the area, the project aims to investigate alternate ways to re-establish the relationship between individual and community, domestic realm and urban system.
Interlaced SiHeYuan By reinventing the traditional Chinese Si He Yuan, a sense of community, openness, and connectivity is generated, a suburban housing complex which encourages interactive neighborhood.

Suburban COMMUNITY // Individual Residence Location: Cambridge / Ontario Area: 7000 m 2 The housing complex is located at a suburban site. A total of 12 dwelling slots are arranged evenly on four sides around a central public park. The complex encloses a shared courtyard in the ground plan, similar to a tranditional chinese Siheyuan, bringing a strong sense of community. Lifting front and back portion open up the ground passage, linking the public park and each courtyard. A series of roof garden is generated. The lifted Siheyuan not only ptovides a courtyard in lower level for all occupants to share their life, but also composite a private outdoor leisure space at a higher level. The interior orgination follows the same principle, with the lower level close to courtyard and public park for family and common experieces, and the higher level besides the private roof garden for private and resting needs. The common/living spaces at ground floor, which is directly shooting towards the central park, creating a visual connection to the public park. The private/resting space at second floor has a shifted view towards roof garden, creating a more personalized focus. A tender devision between public, semi-public, and private space is programmed by the shape and orientation of the complex. 1:1000 SITE PLAN

Toronto Urban Renascence SITE: South Parkdale / Toronto HOME / CITY / LIFE // Collective Housing South Parkdale is a region in Toronto where the construction of heavy railroads and infrastructures impedes the growth of a historically pleasant and active neighbourhood. Because of its elevated topography and abundance of parkland along the lakeshore, it was an ideal hotspot for middle class citizens in the early 19th century. However, after decades of excursive urban planning and railroad construction, its access to lake is cut off, thus becomes a bypass for vehicular traffic. The inconvenient and chaotic condition has caused the neighbourhood to gradually move out of the site.
Existing Condition
Urban Fabric
Highlighted railroads, bridges, and express roads prevent the connection from inner city to the lakefront.
New drive roads are introduced to re-connect the gap between lake Ontario and the inner city by enlongating existing roads. To clean the ground level for new urban fabrics, existing railtrack and express roads will submerge underground together with the subway system.
Pedestrian Pass
New Urban Block
The design emphasizes the importance of pedestrian flux. New roads perpendicular to the major urban fabric allows cross circulation.
The new urban plan reforms the lakefront, creating 3 sailing ports shaped by the routine of pedestrian roads, combining lakeside park, sport zone, and the harbor. It provides easy access to the lakefront, and reinforce the public realm with leisure, commercial activities, gerden, and sport zone (basketball, tennis, swimming pool, etc).
By introducing new collective housing and urban fabrics, the project aims to investigate an alternate way to rehabilitate the connection between individuals and community, home and city, and rejuvenate Parkdale’s prosperities.

HOUSE IN THE CLOUD / SITE PLAN // Dispersed Density The bars enclosed inside the perimeter block serve as the roots for the towers and houses the community programs. These pieces unite all of the vertical elements and assemble them in a network. They provide each community with a social structure. lifted residential towers and minimized ground entrance combine with the proposed housing density produces minimal land occupation as an attempt to create more public spaces. Residential tower blocks are interconnect by vertical elevator cores, allowing cross circulation between bulding blocks. The seperation of the housing towers with the ground enables space to be freed up at the street level for public purposes. The space is activated by the presence of shopping areas and restaurants at the base of the towers.

Toronto Urban Renascence The renewal of Toronto’s urban plan is initialized by the intention of stretching existing streets from inner city to the waterfront, creating continuous pathways linking downtown Toronto and Lake Ontario. The high speed railways and infrastructures are removed from the ground plan, leaving a clean canvas for revitalizing urban fabrics. New roads perpendicular to existing one brings a network shaping new perimeter blocks. With public programs at the ground level and residential programs at higher level, it opens up the ground for public activities and offering opportunities for retail and communal activities at the street level. The waterfront is carved inwards to create harbour and aqua park, giving the site a new definition.

Within the perimeter buildings are public and commercial programs serving both the resident and the citizen (stores, sports club, library, etc). Entrances for domestic programs are connected to the perimeter buildings, open to the central park, and tie the community together in a network.
2. Urban Programs The new urban blocks are formed by creating new roads which extends from the existing roads to the lakeshore. The purple area is commertial district, the green is public park, the yellow is athletic zone, and the blue is harbour and aqua park.

THE DOMESTIC REALM // An Urban Labyrinth Along with urban planning, this project also examines the single domestic realm at a scale of 1:20, to reconsider the existing chaotic condition of modern Toronto city life. This unit is designed to challenge the endemic properties of a site being the end result of historically poorly planned district. Rather than a rigidly divided rectangular space, curved walls are used to propel circulation and activity through combining corridor and room. Like a labyrinth, Fluidity and constant discovery of new definition to the space by user maintains an intimate relationship between people and space. The level of privacy and publicity is controlled by the size of openings in the wall. The apartment attempt to break out the boxed life and to enrich the functions of space by unify all public spaces into one central gathering courtyard, freely occupied by living room, dining room, and served as a playground.

A HEALING AND RECOVER PLACE for body and mind
This project proposal attempts to create a space for the recuperation and healing process of wheelchair users, to incorporate accessibility into ordinary life, and to explore the relationship between bodily needs and the artificial environment. This design evokes a sense of community and family for people with both physical and psychological challenges. Instead of limit the activities and exercise inside a walled space, movement around the building itself could be implied as an unconscious behaviour of exercising and rehabilitating. The ultimate goal is to enhance the daily activities of wheelchair users by incorporating it within the mere factor of getting to somewhere. The entire circulation is created as an end-to end, slope LOOP from ground floor to top floor. Public programs are placed at each end of the ramp as pause points, and private programs are alongside the ramp as intermediate and temporal stops. The ground plane is purposely left open as a central garden, serving as community gathering space. It emphasizes the multiplicity of connections, short cuts and mixed programs. Instead of visually iconic, it focuses internally and embodies the ideals of movement as building dialogue.
