To create a dynamic and collaborative living environment that brings together makers and architects,  within the Neepsend area, we announced the formation of the MAA(MAKER & ARCHITECT ASSOCIATION),which emphasis the strong community between the furniture makers and architect. By blending living and working spaces, the project seeks to redefine traditional notions of work-life balance and contribute to the revitalization of Neepsend as a hub for creative activities.

The picture above shows the world’s earliest paper currency, Jiaozi.In its place of origin, Chengdu, a museum of Jiaozi culture was commissioned.The design fully respects the status of the site and fully integrates with the existing park environment, while responding to the local culture by translating the history of Jiaozi’s development in the spatial design.

The waterfront park located under the Niujiaotuo Riverside trestles has been silent for decades. Through the underground passage of the metro station we were able to catch a glimpse of its magnificence - as if under a concrete sky. Now it’s about to be renovated by the government in the form of hard paving, which is a sight we don’t want to see. We hope to reinvent the site by means of a co-existence between man and nature.

This design envisions transforming the historic 1903 silo in Puerto Madero into a vibrant cultural landmark that bridges the district’s industrial past with its modernized surroundings. Drawing parallels between the silo’s fading identity and Buenos Aires’ declining theater scene, the project proposes a fusion of architecture and independent theater to spark renewal. The silo becomes a hub for creative dialogue, performance, and exhibitions, offering spaces for artists, tourists, and citizens alike. By reimagining it as a cultural catalyst and commercial landmark, the project celebrates theatrical revival while honoring the port’s legacy, turning the silo into a symbol of inspiration and reinvention.

Inspired by western Sichuan’s Tibetan enclosure spaces, the design adapts traditional sloped roofs to integrate solar tiles and green roofs, optimizing energy use. Modular sunrooms and roof platforms draw from regional hall and dam platform typologies, enhancing daylighting and environmental connection. A wetland ecosystem recycles rain and snow, while local materials emphasize cultural heritage. Blending passive and active energy strategies, the project achieves sustainability, comfort, and cultural continuity, offering a contemporary interpretation of tradition rooted in ecological and architectural innovation.

Set in a mountain city, the design uses corridors to connect residential units, integrating commercial blocks and adapting to site elevation changes to create multifunctional public spaces. Unlike typical youth apartments, it introduces shared spaces to foster connection among residents. Rooms are reorganized to prioritize function, with the living room as a central hub for circulation and interaction. These community “knots” link smaller resident groups, forming a comprehensive, interconnected neighborhood that promotes engagement, flexibility, and resilience in urban living.

Located in Shenzhen’s High-Tech Zone, this office design reimagines the work environment to counter monotony and fatigue, offering a refreshing, ecological experience from entry onward. The building integrates with its dense urban site, connecting green spaces through accessible pathways. A frame-tube structure with a flexible external frame supports a twisting form that orients toward parks and coastal views while reducing wind resistance. Blending ecological design, natural connections, and structural efficiency, the project creates a light, inspiring workspace that transforms daily office routines.

As an opener, a travel visa based on the background of a ‘Playtime’ was faked to express what I was about to do. A travelling visa as an everyday object, marking Mr. Hulot’s existing information and the place where he is about to arrive. The juxtaposition of these two pieces of information implies a contradiction between his traditional identity and the established rules of modern urban life, as well as the dilemma he is about to face in the film. In this project, I hope to reconstruct Mr Hulot’s intrusion into the established modern order as an outsider in the modern society with a new formal discourse.

Ash, Echoes reimagines Pompeii’s ancient amphitheater through architectural interventions inspired by Pink Floyd’s iconic performance, where music, history, and space converged. The design transforms the ruin into a dynamic sonic environment, using reflective surfaces, responsive materials, and strategically placed speakers to visualize sound waves and evoke the performance’s echoes. By connecting ancient Roman heritage with modern cultural expression, the project creates an immersive, living space that redefines the amphitheater as a site of dialogue between past and present, memory and innovation.

Paper Traces: Dual Narrative in Ledger Art explores the layered stories embedded in Ledger Art, where Indigenous and colonial narratives intertwine. Using ledger art as a research framework, the project interrogates museum practices at institutions like the MET and Brooklyn Museum, tracing labels, collectors, and acquisition histories. By recontextualizing artifacts from Indigenous perspectives, it uncovers colonial footprints and histories of resistance often obscured by curation. This work critiques colonialism, challenging viewers to confront hidden narratives and question how museums construct cultural memory.

This project proposes cenotaphs at Freshkills Park to honor 9/11 debris relocated from Ground Zero, creating spaces for reflection, mourning, and gathering through four typologies: Sound, Giving, Calm, and The Collective. Designed for victims’ families, the memorial emphasizes sustainability with eco-friendly materials intended for dismantling after three generations. Funded by methane gas revenue from the park, it integrates memory, ecology, and cultural heritage into a lasting tribute, transforming Freshkills into a meaningful site of remembrance and environmental stewardship.

This project reimagines Freshkills Park as a memorial by uncovering and preserving 9/11 debris buried during landfill restoration. Using an archaeological approach, it organizes excavation sites within a refined grid, featuring soil piles, sorting rooms, and archive rooms. Genetic algorithms in Rhino and Wallacei optimize the layout for proximity, access, and efficiency. Multiple design solutions emerge, balancing workflow and flexibility. The final design reveals hidden artifacts, transforming Freshkills Park into a contemplative space that blends remembrance, history, and environmental renewal.

Debate Faces analyzes facial expressions in the 2024 U.S. presidential debates, exploring emotions like confidence, aggression, defensiveness, and contempt, and their influence on perceptions of credibility and leadership. Using Roboflow for data annotation, expressions are classified and studied during key debate moments—attacks, counterattacks, and climactic statements—to reveal candidates’ reactions and their impact on viewers. The project examines how nonverbal cues shape political narratives, offering insights into political communication, voter psychology, and AI-driven emotion recognition in the context of high-stakes debates.
