01 GROUND CONTROL: TRANSFORMING VILLA SAVOYE This project focused on the analysis of Villa Savoye to construct a new form on a sloping site. The plans of the house were reconfigured into a collage based on circulation and transformed into a new form of circulation of going around in the interior of the building. Later on, the problem of the project was assigned to two clients to live that are living inversely.

I apply the concept of inverse to circulation; one going one way while another going the other way. The circulation is separated by the columns to achieve less interaction when one in the space choose to.

02 ACTION SPACE: RACHEL WHITEREAD Rachel Whiteread, a sculptor exploring negative spaces to give confusion to visitors. The project is designed for space for Whiteread to express her artistic talent. I used her design of the negative space to give people a sense of confusion when they walking into space. There’s a small staircase inside the big staircase intersecting the space to give the confusion of walking on the big staircase. An enriching visiting experience is achieved in the end.
