estuary containerThis project is about an intervention towards the Harlem River at New York. We propose a series of strategy to rehabitate the ecology along the river and the raptian lives. Plants are protected by the containers from the strong tidal created by the seawalls. Demolistion of the industrial land and carpark provides concrete and rocks. This pro-ject proposes to reuse this materials as gabion stone facade along the river. This can provide a gradient which soften the tidal effect towards the raptian plants. Containers on top of the box provides nutrients and place for the growth of plants. Extra water system is added to maintain the habitation of plant under special circumstance..
Waterfront Renovation| Providence,USProvidence shares many similar problems of post port-cities in America. It was once the most important port of the nation, its road system and urban fabric were developed based on the logistic concern. River profile has been modified many times for the piers. Nowadays, industry and its related business is fading, piers are moved out of the town, a series of problems have been created.

URBAN MANIFESTOPreamble: There are no universal criteria for a good city. City form plays one of key roles in city making. Good city form is necessary to good city. But good city form does not always imply good city. Place matters. The climate, geography, history, culture, religion, politics and economy generate varied forms of human settlement all over the world. A good city form cannot always be successfully duplicated from one place to another. Time matters. The role of city transforms over time and the city forms can hardly be permanently good. City form is dynamic in response to the changes of other factors. Principles: -Flexibility: Good city form should embrace flexibility that endures over time. -Equity and Pluralism: Good city form should be shared and perceived by everyone. -Layers: Good city form should be a layer that appropriately fits with other layers such as topography, hydrology, flora and fauna, infrastructure, history, demography, cyberspace, etc. -Relationship with Nature: Good city form should embed harmoniously and humbly into the regional ecological system, connect the corridors and patches effectively. And it should also generate healthy micro eco-systems. -Disaster Resilience: Good city form should have the resilience facing the hazardous world to protect health, safety and welfare. It also conveys adaptation to climate change. -Sanitation: Good city form should allow optimization of the use of sun, wind and water, as well as the operation of waste to create a sanitary built environment. -Sustainability: Good city form should minimize its pollution. It should also encourage lifestyles that are very low-impact and low-energy- consumption on a per-capita basis. -Capacity and Participation: Good city form should convey capability of providing something for everybody. And it only works well when it allows everyone to participate in the process. -Accessibility: Good city form should have easy access to other settlements. -Diversity and Vibrancy: Good city form should allow diverse ownership and activities. Diverse surroundings have the practical power of inducing a natural, continuing flow of life and use, so as to create vibrant city life. -Density and Intimacy: Good city form should be compact to generate higher density and children and family accessible activities, which enhance communication and interaction. -Mixed Use: The land use should maximum mixed use rather than functional separation. -Walkability and Public Transportation: Good city form should be walkable and pedestrian-friendly. Public transportation reaches all main destinations in and around the city. -Belonging: Good city form should evoke spiritual feelings of belonging. -Recreation: Good city form should encourage people to go outside their homes. -Conservation: Good city form should include buildings of different ages in use. -Memory: Good city form conveys memories of all layers of history and narratives.

Each neighborhood should have at least one public open space at least as big as half of the block Street 13. At least one vibrant main street (depending on the size, shape and history of the city) should be designated in downtown 14. The streets should form a “capillary-like” auto-mobile system rather than concentrate transportation on one or two “arteries” 15. The proportion of the height of the building to the distance between building to building (across the street) should be controlled to 1:1 to 3:1. 16. The widest street should not exceed 6 lanes. Sidewalk 17. All the streets should have pedestrian-friendly sidewalks Bicycle system 18. Bicycle lanes and parking space should be set to almost every street. Trees 19.

The block size should not exceed 200,000sqf, and the length of the long side should not exceed 600 ft. 21.Main entrances to the building should face the street rather than facing inner block.22. The center of the block should have a shared private-owned open space accessible from outside of the block Parcel 23. The basic parcel should range from 20 to 30 ft in width, and 80 to 120 ft in depth. 24. The biggest parcel should not exceed 60 feet. Each block can have at most 6 big parcels 25. Party walls can be built right within the side property lines. Ground Floor 26. An open space of at least 5 feet wide from the property line should be shared with the public. 27.

Transformation :The morphology. of the script is transformed with the discourse of deployable structure. The FLORIN SYSTEM structures the basic module. It has 4 triangles, one rhombus and 4 hyperboloid, The scissors joint at the bottom emables 2 direction movements..00 01 10 11
Joint:The accuracy of the joint is crucial. The axis of the movement has to offset in order to accommodate the thickness of the material. The left is a join of 6 axis. The right is joint of iron stell and timber.
Architecture for humanityI have been concerned with low cost building in developing coutriesm using local materials as the base for construction. Bamboo is one of my focus. With the experience in Bangladesh, Anji, India, and also collaboration with INBAR ( international bamboo association ), I endeavor to foster the development of bamboo construction in many different ways as architectural elements.

This is a renovation project of an abandon waterfront structure near Xiangmi Lake in Shenzhen. We are asked to transform it into a luxury club house integrating a golf trainning center, restaurants, anchor stores, a pri-vate villa, swimming pool etc. We seeks to create a clean architectural posture in natrual landscape. Although the budget is limited, we explored various materials such as gabion, tensile structure, green roof and vari-ous techique in lighting and plantation.
CO-WORK III
Golf is a sport belongs its landscape. Landscape and water have an inseparable relationship. The design is developed based on 4 keywords:{Material} Main building has a sculptural form, the landscape is more restraint and draw the audience to the detail. Wood and stone are the two main actors in this project. They work togethor to form space. {Experience} On top of visual satisfaction, walking through the landscape and the outdoor environment shall be another highlight of the project.
