Hollygrove used be a community full of fellowship; “Bus Shelters” had played an important role in this function. It has never been the same since Hurricane Katrina, we want to revitalize the community by recalling that memory of fellowship with our bus shelter design. We chose hurricane salvaged wood as the symbolic main material.

Project 3 MoCA/ReDesign, Gehry Partner LLP, post-professional degree

Open spaces on Bunker Hill becomes empty after work everyday. MoCA/Redesign’s intention is to use museum as 1) activatorsby breaking the musinto pavilions and plathem on public spaces, and use them 2) as linkage to draw people onto the current MoCA site, the new core public space. The attempt is to create everyday spaces and encourage social activities.

concept

an undergraduate year 3 project that used theatre to explore structural design Project 4 Theatre, Wilshire Blvd. + Normandie Ave. Los Angeles

This design concept focuses on people’s “arrival experience”; to subtly transfer audiences from reality (the cityscape) into an imaginary space (theatre) without the awareness of stepping through a threshold - the entrance.This concept is achieved by two methods: 1) the building form radiates out to the busy intersection to welcome audiences’ arriving and 2) the glass facade reduces the threshold to minimum; it also unfolds to create a semi-public/ private space.

Santa Monica Light Rail ProjectProject 5

This project is located on 4th and Colorado Blvd, where multiple zones converge all-together; thus pedestrian and vehicular circulations are always dense. The �uidity of the design (both form and function) is reponding to the busy urban movement at the intersection, at the same time aiming to alleviate the congestion.

This design exercise focuses on re-utilizing mundane materials such as containers and using it to create an instant event space; using this exercise to explore outdoor cinema design for the purpose of invigorate urban activities.

Design Exercise: Container Outdoor Cinema

This container-cinema can be attached on any freight train and travel from city to city, similar to Archigram’s Zeppelin concept.

Sketches

This project uses algorithm desing to rede�ne an existing form, mouse, or wall surface that was built in Rhino space, then uses Grasshopper to manipulate its shape and pattern and �nish rendered in Maxwell.
