architects like travelling. However we spent a huge amount of time working in studio. This is a travelling
studio to architects which engages them with the public
a pop up restaurant travelling around the world since 2010. One year after in 2011, she flew back to Berlin
from experimenting different tessellations of a button, an envelope of a button was created via manipulating the 2D patterns
using the apparatus of ma-nipulating 2D panel to create
light and space for a public bathhouse in Dumbo Pearl

A series of folding and inter-locking method is studied. The
weakest part of the cup, the sec-tion with the largest diameter, is
folded into star shape. By inter-locking the folded cups a piece of
flexble furniture is created.

FILMING CREW AND PUBLIC MEET AT THE BORDER
The site
By looking into the production crew structure and the daily routine of thefilming crew, the fast and rapid living style is observed. With the very short
resting time in their own lodge, the con-cept is thus to provide a minimum
but spacious living lodge with efficient acess to their working places.
The site strategy aims to make use of the visual potential of the Lok
Ma Chau Loop. Different production fields are located sprially
facing different view.

the onion relationship was translated into different study models.
At first, the 1:4 square relationship was introduced. Each square represents a potential to enclose private space.
Then different polygons were introduced to break the square geometry. The “onion relationship” : an infinity enclosure, was still exist.

First impression of the city and response with �rst hand information
Architects design space that we live. Under the undeliable fact of globalization, architects build out of their own countries. How-ever, we all come from different countries with different backgrounds and experiences. Decisions in architectural design are devi-ated by our different values. It is a potentially dangerous move. Without clear understanding of the city itself and its citizens, those buildings may not be effective to the users or even give adverse effect to them.
At this age, socially aware design education should be based on close contact with the users, with clear picture of the city fabric. A mobile school, travelling over the world,giving totally different insight to students from different backgrounds, initiating close interaction with the locals is our proposed tool for developing design student’s social awareness.

Car”Park” : Timely Swap between Art & Park (2012) Alternative Car Park Tower in Hong Kong, AC-CA (Competition entry)COLLABORATE WITH Nam Wu , Kenton Lam & Owen Lam
Pop up cells connected by Vertical Automatic Delivery SystemTraditional carparks are marked as dark and unwelcomed. To reverse this condition, programme weaving of car parking space is our solution.The complexity of site context is addressing the potential of different city life during different times of a day.
Central - next to one of the most busy street in Hong Kong, Connaught Road - next to City Hall, cultural icon- connected to central commercial destrict - convenient access to public transportation.
We are proposing an automatic car delivery system as a response to the need of quick access with high density. And we also benefit in having control of the location of occupied car slots, the system can flexibly rearrange the cars so as to provide extra space for any pop-up activities.
seperated cells formed individual studio space consecutive floors at the top made use of the core quality and became a performance space
critical flors connected with car lots formed exhibition space
ground floor plan
The top floor restuarant is equipped with a fixed kitchen with flexible seatings, the parking lots can be occupied as seatings when there are more people come to the restuarant.The pop-up studio space is a key component of the self suitainable maintanance of the building. By renting out the unused car lots, income generated could be used as the maintainace cost of the highly mechanical system of the car park tower.
The concept of facade is to make a continous surface connecting three towers and to provide public screens serving city hall roof’s audience and the op-posite site of the sea.

Good architecture brings happiness.
We believe all people should have the equal op-portunity to enjoy, partake in and have access to the design of architecture and environment.
IDEA Project is a NGO in Hong Kong aiming at exploring solution towards sustainable design and community participation. We would like to set up a good example of sustainable architectural design and particiaption. We aimed to improve the livelihood of the villagers in remote areas, and empower the underpriviledged and the poor in the developing world with design opportunity.
I am always searching for new social apparatus on creating architecture. Believe me, architecture can create social change.

LOCAL VOICES
the schematic design was commented by the locals on the following aspects and received the respective responses (r)
FUNCTION1 - “We want public space but there are so many thief here”r : self enclosed outdoor playground; control of facade openings
STYLE2 - “We want “modern architecture”, we don’t want traditional Cambodian school”r : careful study of vernacular style ; communication with local workers to un-derstand the technological constriant use of local material (brick, metal, tyre)
The school came out in four days. Before we arrived Cambodia we issued the main struc-
tural drawings to the local contractors.After our arrival, we have different workshops with children every morning. The
volunteer team spreaded in teams to work at the afternoon, have workshops with The workshop include both brain-storming sketch drawing
and craft making. Our design team look into the sketches at night to get ideas from what the children think ok :

PRET A DINER BERLIN 2012 (2011 - 2012) Pop up Restaurant design for Pret A Diner 2012, Berlin, GermanyNOVONO. Project role : assist the designer on concept brainstorm and drawings
The project is to design and build a pop up restaurant in an old building in the city centre of Berlin. The Pret A Diner restaurant travelled around the world and stayed three months in every city. The construction time is one week.
The design concept of Pret A Diner Berlin was inspired by the architectural feature of the building. There are lots cage-liked window frames in the build-ing, with the very limited lighting supply of the building the site looks like a prision.
The design play with the escape from the cage. Flying birds and spots of light are the main elements to play with.

BUTTON STORY (2012)DESIGN STUDIO, M.ARCH YR 1, GAUD, PRATT INSTITUTEINSTRUCTOR : KAREL KLEIN
today our tutor asked us to choose one object and model it in 3D software.
It could be any object and finally I choose a button.
Quickly finished the 3D model, I started to rethink what kind of quality was the most important for the button.
test : pepakura cutting path initial pattern
extracted button
detailed button
button sections
the button was panelized throught pepakura and a pattern of button was thus created
series of study models on not following the rules fo the pattern were made
the idea was to filp in and out an original 2D pattern to create the relationship between concave and
convex space
button story p.39 -40
flipping exercises on initial pattern
the flipped models with different concave-con-vex relationship were remodelled. And pan-
elized by pepakura
series of experiments on deforming the buttons were carried out
finally a set of relationship between “points on curve” and “panel” was explored
Through drawing curves with ten control points but with different curvatures. Different density
of panels were found.
This tessellation methodology was carried on for further development.

the task is to design a public bathhouse in Dumbo Pearl Sqaure, New York.
The bathouse comprised of two different kind of bathing experi-ence, the fast and the slow one.
The strategy is to create an interlocking pathway relationship enclosed by a water structure.

The structure transported water of different tempera-ture around the whole bathhouse.
The envelope is the skin as well as the core.
The 2D manipulation from pepakura pattern main-tained the general pattern of the skin and the same time provided little gaps for lighting and ventilation. This situation is perfect for public bathhouse as it cre-ated a semi-private conditions.

<<How to Draw : I earned a smile>> This thursday when I were Bingbahn-ing again, an old woman sit opposite to me. She bent her brows all over the journey. I always love to draw wrinkles therefore of course this woman is on my drawing list. After I draw I felt like I wanted to give the drawing to the woman, i thought for while as I like the drawing very much. Finally I wrote something and gave this to the woman :

Bingbahn and Wawa are experimental drawing groups exploring different issues in the city.
We believe everyone can draw.
We believe the energy of art can transform space. It is not about talent, but about participation.

“Housing price in Hong Kong is expensive.”
Yes, people from all over the world know this. The crazy housing price in Hong Kong also led to a pessimistic thought among the citizens. “What are we working for? We work day and night for 3o years but all our salaries go to the rent.”
I collaborated with “Think Big, Act Big” on this housing workshop on re-thinking how much space do we actually need and try to explore the poten-tial of housing within the limited space supply in Hong Kong.
I criticized on the typical flat units of Hong Kong’s housing system. People have different lifestyles today so their needs of space differentiated. The improvement of information technology also allow us to live in small space with a computer.
Of course we want a big house. But this time I am asking “How much do you want to pay for your house?”
“I am going to feed my children outside my house”
“I am not going to pay for a cat”
“I want big TV and a lot of food”
