In my project the cylinder and sphere mark the multiple centers, and the
overlapping of them generates poche space, acting as both structure and
functional rooms. The spherical objects interact differently with the floor
planes creating various special experience. Some affect the shape of the
floor and ceiling, and some are inserted in between the floors. Three func-
tional poches hold programs that need less light or more intimate control.

The exterior form is designed
in respect to the site con-
text. The lower entrance part
corresponds the residential
buildings and the main part
respond to the massive office
buildings in scale and height.
The curved glass is impact-
ed by the city hall. The roof
terrace on both city and river
side allow natural light in and
views out.
The big sphere extended through three floors hold the children space at
the bottom and the bookshelf ring in the dome, and the openings on the
dome capture beautiful light effect; The ceiling of the periodical room
become the playground for children on the second floor; Smaller spherical
objects hold individual study, meditation and manuscript room inside.
One large poche holds the audi-
torium and group meeting rooms
inside, and the administration and
service space are in another poche.
Each poche provides access to fire
exit.

This brewery located at the border of Findlay Market, a famous Cincinnati farmers market, provides fresh goods
and hosts many social activities and events. The brewery acts as a link between the market and the cityscape.
Expanding the market’s communal space to include a beer garden and put the beer tank on display encourages
the community to learn something about beer production. The dining and the beer production areas are sepa-
rated at two sides of the building, overlooking each other. The curve and the transparency give the garden side
the light-hearted atmosphere and generates a continuous circulation route with various views and experiences.
The the height and architecture style of the existing city blocks. The brown and orange beer bottles on the
façade create light effect and articulate the building’s quality.

This Project is composed of five figured archives held between an exteri-
or and interior surface. While the outside camouflages the shape of the
archives, the interior surface emphasizes their difference. The exterior
surface hides the five figures by creating a coplanar surface that makes a
single object. The interior surface connects the gaps between the archives
using a series of tessellated surfaces.

Pattern, Perforation and Colors.
These are study models which we
used to test the perforation tech-
nique. The tests study color and
perforation conditions. Eventually,
we choose light blue as archive
interior surface color, and red
represents the inter fill. Tubes are
added on some pores, and some
are left out allowing people to see
the red fill from outside.

Large openings are used to create
an overall view into the interior as
well as a view outward. Perforations
of various densities and depths
are used on the exterior surface
to provide multiple focused views
into the interior. These perforations
create three different views into
the occupiable space: through the
archive, the structural poche and the
interior space. Color is introduced

to distinguish the different spaces
within. The exterior surface and
the archive exterior are white, the
archive interior is blue and the inte-
rior surface is red. The color white
connects the exterior surfaces into
a single object, while the use of
blue and red show difference on
the interior.

This apartment has adequate interior and exterior communal space. The
plaza, outdoor swimming pool, and courtyard are exterior public space;
the atrium, double height space and roof garden are communal spaces
inside the building. All of them form a floating space in these two towers.
The idea of the shape of the apartment comes from a ribbon. The middle
part of the building complex can be read as the continuity of two ribbons.
It is lifted up following the movement of a ribbon. A floating experience
close to nature is created in this architecture complex.

Hale Hall supports academic and social activities for OSU students. Hale is
the new home of the Black Cultural Center established in 1973. As an his-
torical building, Hale Hall occupies a significant position facing the South
Oval. For these reasons, the expansion is composed of two new architec-
tural centers. One is in the historical building, facilitating students’ activ-
ities and celebrating Hale Hall’s history; the other is in the new addition,
which builds on relations with the landscape. The individual identity of
each results from its materials, seasonal changes and spatial morphology.

The expansion is consistent with
the OSU framework plan, so that it
supports existing pedestrian circu-
lation. The roof garden on the re-
stored historical terrace forms not
only relationship to the south oval,
but also provides an overlook to the
display garden in the new building.

The “fire” center in the old building
has a double floor atrium and the
original hearth. The central space
is opened up for students’ various
actives by removing the wall and
locating rooms around its edge.
The atrium connection to the office
spaces at the second floor facilitates
communication among students.
The fireplaces mark the center
and remind people of the history
of Hale Hall. The “earth” center
featured by the display garden in
the new addition has transparent
layers that connect views to the
landscape of the South Oval. The
garden brings natural light in and
casts spot lights into the perfor-
mance space under it. The garden
view varies at different times of a
day and during different seasons of
a year. The enthusiastic “fire” cen-
ter forms contrast with the statistic
“earth” center.

Hale Hall holds the collection of
works of art donated by African
American artists and alumni. African
American textile is one the remark-
able works among them. I choose
textile as the façade pattern, for
its grid system provide flexible
opening and solid, and the material
change also enhance the art and
emotion effect.

Inspiration about architecture comes not just came from books and stud-
ies, but also rooted in traveling, crafting and touching real life. From my
travels, drawing becomes another way to record and reflect on my experi-
ences. I also craft artifacts to exercise my creativity. Studying architecture
give me the tool to further engage the world.

Travel SketchesI went to the study abroad at Europe
for one month and interned in Germa-
ny for two months. After study archi-
tecture, I pick up the habit of sketch-
ing during the trip, which improves
my visual skills as well as enhance my
travel experience.

Digitial Fabrication
Beside studio design exercises, I
also explored the digital model
making and fabrication, demon-
strated by this nurbs and mesh
surface duck model. I also studied
the nature of material, for exam-
ple concrete, wood, glass and
handcrafted a pedestal, in which
process thorough plan and preci-
sion is needed.
