TIANCHENG YE
HELLO
Hello, my name is Tiancheng Ye and I am from Ningbo, China. I am now a fifth-year architecture major at Pratt Institute, expecting to graduate in May 2022. Since I was a high school student and started playing Minecraft and other sandbox computer games, I've been fascinated by architecture. As a young architecture student who develops an interest in architecture as a result of gaming sequences. My criterion is to assume greater responsibility for the operation of the practice with the objective of becoming a partner. I feel that architecture can be anything and anything, since it mixes technical and creative components. My life revolves around being exact and innovative. I've learnt about the professional architectural design process from past experiences, from concept design through schematic design, design development, and construction documents. Additionally, I learnt how to work in a team and interact with other experts in order to develop creative concepts and achieve client expectations. I've learned that communication is critical to moving the project ahead and working as a team. Address: Brooklyn, NY Cell: +1 347-322-3467 Email: ytorange8@gmail.com

01. Project Name: Multi-Generational Cohabitation Year : 2019
This project examines the social dimensions of architecture
via the lens of new residential space typologies. Structure, facade, MEP, and life safety are all critical design aspects in this complete architectural project. The project aims to address social, economic, material, cultural, and architectural concerns, as well as to represent our thinking on post-familial domesticity. Co-housing is geared at intergenerational living. A paired senior unit and a family unit are intended as the foundation for future aggregation in this housing project. There are eight clusters in all, each with a kitchenette and complete bathroom, 2-4 units sharing a living room, 4-12 units sharing a full kitchen, and 12-50 units sharing a playground or library.
At the second story level, there is a bridge that runs the length of the building. Each cluster is equipped with an elevator that extends to the top level, and each pair of clusters is equipped with a third-story bridge for further safety.

02. Project Name: Nesting Space - The Dome Year : 2020
The worldwide COVID-19 epidemic has already affected our perception of livable places,
and many will welcome live/work scenarios. This DOME aims to give design alternatives for pop-up workplaces that may be put up in residential situations. We've developed a deeper understanding of our interior spaces, and the present trend in real estate, maker culture, and the entrepreneurial sector will continue to flourish. The folded surface and volume offer unique approaches of designing and fabricating interior spaces. The DOME investigates online strategies for digital-physical design and manufacturing in order to produce a hybrid surface/mass interior space enhanced by the interaction of numerous formal aspects in exact digital models and multimaterial physical prototypes.
03. Project Name: HOME - A Machine Living for 2020 Year : 2020
HOME is the primary architectural structure that facilitates human contact and social experience.
Since our earliest childhood recollections, the HOME has been associated with a sense of security, solitude, and growth. Due of the outbreak, residents must be segregated from their houses, and several everyday activities must be canceled. As a result, sliding doors and raising tatami mats are employed to create a variety of functional rooms for occupants within a set space, so enriching their daily activities. By altering the solitary corridor and vertical lines of a Brooklyn townhouse in order to protect family members' health during an outbreak. For instance, the movement of visitors and residents may be separated and blended via different sliding doors and double passageways to provide for individual independence. Simultaneously, 12 layers of varying heights have been introduced to ensure that individuals in this linked environment maintain their privacy.

04. Project Name: 3D-Printed Mobile Clinic Year : 2021
The clinic is 3d printed from high-performance engineering plastics
that combine high strength and rigidity with great processing characteristics. This project is innovated from the concept of mobile home because of its unique portability and low production cost. This 3D printed Modular Clinic a product that is trying to scale a rapid testing progress and reaching underserved populations. 3D printing as the world of 21st- century technological production, it has enormous potential to deal with public health and microinfrastructure at the urban scale. First of all, the combination of 3D printing technology and modular design reduces the production time. With the new developed materials and technology, the clinic can easily achieve the concept of rapid production to rapid deployment.
As a clinic for pandemic, it has the
function to address the COVID-19 virus. At the same time, it should remain safe and avoid to become a transmitter of the virus. The 3D printed modular clinic is a hybridization of urban and architectural expertise. Also, it is an experimental project that hybrid forefront technology and old structural concept. I hope it will be an integral part of daily life to solve public health issue, acting on a broad social and urban aspect. It can extend a quick test procedure to underserved populations with the largest share of infections and disproportionately less access to testing.

05. Project Name: Urban Dwelling - House for Blinds Year : 2021
This project has been designed for a family that consists of a young urban professional couple, Hakim and Celeste, and their mother, Fatima, who is legally blind. During COVID, this family spent a tremendous amount of time together and grew to appreciate each other’s company inside, outside and in their garden. The couple worked mostly from home and enjoy that flexibility.
It is important to them that their new house be designed with special consideration for the requirements of the visually impaired as well as the post-COVID lifestyle of a young professional couple who requires room to work from home.
“If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.” -----Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
Key spaces and/or conditions that exemplify my design approach include:
• the bookshelf-stairs that vertically unify the three levels of living and working spaces. • the interior/exterior transitions which allow the family to spend as much time outdoors as possible. • the acoustic design, fresh air circulation and variations in texture and tone that cater to the visually impaired. • ADA Design, Handrail Design, and Pet (Cat) Design that interact with traditional wall/bookshelf design.
“A dwelling should be not a retreat from space, but life in space.”

06. Project Name: MoBBallet Arlington Public Library Year : 2021
Revitalizing the community library as an activist mechanism. The library as a vessel for the history of blacks in ballet.
In this project, the clients are Memoirs of Blacks in Ballet (MOB Ballet)Foundation which is a nonprofit community art organization. The existing library named Arlington Library located in Brooklyn, New York will be redeveloped to achieve the goal of celebrating the invaluable contributions that blacks have made to the field of ballet since the 19th century. The project is also inspired by early research and mapping about the site and ballet dance to create an encircle circulation and unique programmatic decisions. The library will not only provide collections of book resource, but also a collection of human resource that can re-bridge and enhance the community culture through legal aids, 21st century job training, and ballet performing.

07. Project Name: Hand Made Table Year : 2021
Fundamental aspects of everyone’s life have changed over the course of the past 18 months; how we work, how we learn, how we interact with friends and family. Since the events of early 2020, it could be argued that the dining table is the piece of furniture which has experienced the most radical change in use. Dining room tables have not only supported family dinners, they have become the spaces for Zoom meetings, solitary breakfasts, an indoor farm for tomato plant seedlings, a library for cookbooks and a family gathering place. The study models are inspired by materials and body motion analysis. With the consideration of “Universal Design”, “What can a body do”, and conflict in reality, the tables are design with varied functions and purposes.
08. Project Name : TESLA: Reband, Redefine, Rediscover Year : 2019
The design concentration is on 3D modeling, from fundamental approaches to advanced techniques in mesh and nurbs modeling, with an emphasis on file structure and workflow in addition to fundamental modeling.
Through various software such as rhino, adobe photoshop, and enscape, I learnt fundamental 3d modeling, mockups, and rendering while redesigning TESLA's product and constructing a new kiosk for product demonstration. By beginning the project with the Rebrand phase, which focuses on rebranding the company's logo and developing its own color palette and typefaces for use in website design and mockups. Following that, the Redefine section focuses on product and website mockups created in Photoshop and tested on a variety of mobile devices. Then, Rediscover is a division that uses 3D modeling to create new products for the TESLA Company. Finally, the Rebuild section is a concept for a kiosk that will serve

09. Project Name : MOO Tabletop Filming Studio Year : 2021
MOO Studio is set up by a group of young people who interesting in
tabletop filming and photography. This is their first studio space since their establishment. They intend to have a large enough space in this studio for video recording while also accommodating purposes such as greeting visitors, resting, and working. By splitting the internal area of the first and a half stories into two distinct functional zones, the design distinguishes between private and public spaces. The upper floor is mostly utilized as office space, with a small conference area and a private office and darkroom for each of the two founders. The bottom area is linked to the gate via a passageway. Along with offering a wider shooting area, it also serves as a storage area for equipment and a gathering space for guests.
