Group work Sep 2023 - Dec 2023 From an early age, I have been deeply passionate about design. I vividly remember my childhood fascination with building models using materials like cardboard to construct my ideal structures. Through this creative exploration, I came to realize that architecture is not just about cold steel and concrete; it is a powerful art form that embodies the thoughts and emotions of its designer.
02 Dragon Boulevard
A highlight of my academic experience was a sustainable building facade project in my junior year. My team and I developed an adaptable facade system, designed through parametric modelling using Grasshopper, that automatically adjusted to weather conditions, enhancing indoor comfort and energy efficiency.
03 Dianshan Lake Sports Community Center
For my final project as an undergraduate, I designed a bicycle-themed activity centre in Shanghai, inspired by local residents and cyclists. The design featured a sloped pathway that allowed cyclists to ride to the rooftop, offering scenic views and an interactive experience. The centre also included spaces for kayaking and areas for local villagers to sell goods, fostering community interaction and creating a multifunctional recreational hub. These experiences have solidified my passion for architecture and its power to transform spaces and lives. As I continue my journey, I am eager to explore innovative and sustainable design solutions that enhance the way people interact with their environments.
