STRAW MELODY - Sustainable Community 
01/2023-06/2023


This project is a temporary community center. It is an exploration to the potential of the straw. People will come here to explore straw and create music. This project will happen before the development building plan as a temporary construction existing for one year. At the end of this project, this community will celebrate the site that animals will be invited to eat straw to finish the recycling cycle. Through this project, I tested the potential of straw when used as acoustic panels to embrace different sound qualities and used as an organic texture to create natural atmosphere. With different ways to control the volume, I made three strategies: stacking, weaving, felting. By effectively connecting the straw and other material, I made a series of straw installations with different densities and shapes.

BUBBLE HOTEL -  Spa Hotel&Public Resort Center

Spring 2021


In this project, I transformed an old factory in Sichuan. The factory used to produce mechanical parts, but now it has been abandoned as part of an industrial site park for tourists to visit. I hope to design a hotel based on its architectural structure while retaining its historical appearance. This newly added functional structure can make people become observer of a new era, observe the order of the old era and think about history

FISHERMAN'S HOME
Spring 2020


The fisherman's hand on the pole was frozen. He breathed to keep warm. The cold moonlight shone on the boat and saw a vague snow shadow. Painters do not understand the hard work of fishermen, but prefer to draw pictures of fishing on the cold river with snow. The water surface in the eyes of fishermen is different from that in the perspectives of tourists. In the former's view, this is the place where they produce and live, and they experience the unstable life from going out fishing every day. In the latter view, this is a place to relax and rest, and it is a poetic landscape. I studied this phenomenon and designed a house.

CONSCIOUS FRAMEWORK
Summer 2021


Part 1: Spatial Analysis&Reconstruction 

Part 2: Game & Application Design

This project aims to study and reflect on the impact of “system” on people. I chose a factory built in the 1960s. At that time, society indulged in continuous industry production. People were managed as tools. I am curious about modern people's attitude towards the “system”. Therefore, I designed a virtual factory in this project. The virtual factory will deform in two directions according to the behavior of the people in it. This is a “changing life” driven by crowd behavior. The result of its deformation reflects people's attitude towards the “system”. I applied this virtual factory to online games and designed a set of game flow.
