Embrace the Water- Vertical City
The people of Hull are expected to be living with water within the next 20 years, and as lands begin to submerge, the people need to start developing the vertical space to satisfy the demand for living space. Living with water is a lifestyle that people in Mae Nam Delta, Thailand have lived with for decades, making the city the perfect inspiration for my project. When walls of a standard post and beam buildings of Hull are removed, the resemblance with the vernacular stilt houses of Mae Nam is uncanny.
This building will involve a co-living residential space, market, working area, gym and green garden. Predictably, people can be satisfied their daily needs are met in the vertical city centre. Due to the flooding making rent increase, coliving residential space is aimed to help the residents in the city to have affordable housing. The market is one of the important spaces for this project, the market not only provides a space for residents to buy the products but also invite the people in the city to start their business; the balance between living and economic development can coexist harmoniously.

Accessible and Inclusive Play Spaces
After World War ll, European people looked forward to the new life in the peace period; they would like to go back to life as it was before the war. A Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck and his team started to design several projects all about the play space in Amsterdam, Netherlands (Withagen and Caljouw, 2007); he tries to create a space where the residents in the city can gather together and spend time with friends and family, allowing them to forget the sadness brought by the war. This moment is the first time people realised that play space could create a sensation of happiness for people.
With the changing times, play space has a new function in the city for the resident besides increasing happiness; place space provides the space for people to catch their breath in this high pressure working society. Balancing work and life is a new trend in the present day, people understand gradually that mental and physical health are equally important (Eusuf et al., 2014).
According to the research from the department of children, schools and families (DCSF) (Shackell et al., 2008) the play space was defined as a playground or play area; this place should provide a safe and interesting space for the children in the city. The play spaces are normally located in the city centre, green belts, and parks; hereby, the play space not only belongs to children but also creates a space for adults to relax and gather with friends and family (Withagen and Calijouw, 2017).

Paths of Resonance- Learning Space For The Blind
Sight determines much of how the sighted perceive space and navigate through space. Yet, for the blind, the same is done through mainly touch, echolocation and memories. Sadly, much of our public spaces are built in favor of the former, at expense of the latter. What if our public spaces are designed to accommodate the needs of not only the sighted, but the blind as well, creating an equal platform for learning, establishing social connections, and gaining experiences through sensory stimulations. What will the architecture be like?
A learning space where the blind can feel like everyone else.

Practical Project 1
Extension Project on Rochester Road, Camden
This is an extension project on Rochester Road, Camden where we did an extension on the top floor. As the client is a entrepreneur, he wanted to separate his home from his office.
The biggest challenge of this project was figuring out how to communicate with the planner and city council. We needed to consider the fire regulations for both a workplace on the first floor and residential space, that being the new extension on the top floor.
As this was a complicated project, I didn’t put all drawings here. However, I put some of the drawings that I felt demonstrated my architecture knowledge. As well as that, I have included some pictures of the site as a working record.

Practical Project 2
Extension Project Taichung International Airport
This is the first time I had a chance to join a team working on a big scale project, when I had just graduated from my undergraduate degree.
During this time, I helped architects to revise the drawing and did research on the building regulations.
Even though I did not stay long enough for it to finish, it helped me gain the foundation knowledge of working on a large scale project, which helped me realise how important good circulation is.

Takao Long House
Takao Long House, 5 floors building combining work and family life. Through void space, nature is led into the middle of the longhouse.
A porous facade permeates air flow while limiting the sunlight and reducing heat adsorption, minimising the use of air conditioning.
Construction commenced in Jan 2019, expected to finish in Feb 2020.
