Facade
The faced is made from stainless steel cable weaved to form a metallic mesh curtain. This permits a structural permeability between the external environment and the internal atmo-
sphere. Visitors would find their entries into the architecture as natural as simple diffusion. And the mesh, by its form, would have numerous holes that allowed natural ventilation and
lighting at the same time.
With its high visibility, visitors indside and the pedestrians outside would have an enhanced ex-perience about the innate mobility and movement of the building. This would attract people
visiting the museum as if their usual daily routines.

Hexi CBDMixed use development China 2008
I was involved in this project as a major designer at HOK Asia Pacific co. through the conceptual design competition phase.I worked closely with the design director Jeff Kaeonil and As-sociate Dickson Mak on the overall design of the project.
Situated in the greenbelt of the Nanjing Hexi CED,the mixed use development will house 256 hotel rooms over 95,000 sm of prime office space. A second 60,000 sm service apart-ment tower will be developed to the south. Both towers will be connected by a 40,000 sm retail podium. One of my main responsibilities was to design the form from rough sketch to 3D model for studying the light and formal qualities. The jag-ged edge facade on southern tower was inspired to maximize views on the soon-to-be-dense context,by using Sketchup, Autocad and Revit softwares. The form was refined into ratio-nalized, constructible pieces that included balcony and bay window, which provided most comfort by responding to the eastern climate in China.
The finished 3D model then sent to outsourced model maker and rendering company for the production of presentation models as well as the graphical representation of the project. I coordinated with both parties to maintain the sense of esthetic qualities.

The ambition of this project focuses on providing a ground for hope and a new destination for the people of hong kong to voice their frustration and resentment to the government. The projects empha-sis is on facilitating political protests while serving as public buildings. Political buildings are monumen-tal structures that are often immediately identifiable as the seat of power, with singular programmatic purposes and are uninviting to the general public. This project attempts to dissolve this relationship and to rework the previously typologically independent entities into one where architecture, politics and the public co-exist in a non-hierarchical way.

Fishermans Bends urban fabric consist mostly of industrial areas, manufacturing, wholesale trade and residential. According to Melbournes Metropolitan strategy, Port Philip is expected to have an addition of 90000 dwellings in it by 2030 and Fishermans Bend has the capacity to accomodate for that.The strategy for Fishermans Bend is to inject urban diversity while retaining the urban fabric. Programmes that are more community oriented are seeded into different zones in FB. These programmes are seeded into existing buildings on site. As Jane Jacobs stated Old ideas might need new build-ings. New ideas definitely need old buildings. The intervention strategy determines the hybridization and execution of programmes into the buildings themselves. Grains are results of seeds and radial outwards from each seed.To accommodate for the speculated population in FB, residential typologies are placed into site and classified as the grey zones. Residential typologies are a respond to its existing seeds around it.
Black zones are identified as uncontrollable zones that contain the qualities of Melbourne CBD. These zones are the areas where developers favor.The green zone acts as a connector between all these zones. The green zone is crucial in between the seeds and black zones as this would provide a buffer for these two contrasting qualities in the same site.Overall, the idea is to create a city that has very diverse programmes and everything is within walking prioximity. In the midst of that,parts of the urban fabric quality of FB will be retained and have new programmes injected into it.

Project Description
In collaboration with the Cheung Kong (holdings) Limited, Guangzhou International Toys & Gifts Centre (GITGC) aimed at creating the world largest logistics center for toy and gift products. With its market orientation and its customer fore-most business philosophy, the center is devoted to estab-lish an educational research and design institute.
Situated in one of the main entrance of the GITGC campus, the SNAP institute, which symbolized the nature of the toys and gift product design a joyful and playful experience. By collaborating different design disciplines (environmental, product and graphic student), this project not only focused on the spatial aspect but also promoted an comprehensive learning experience for the users. The architecture was composed of three distinguish modules with different form, color and material. For dividing a clearer zoning, the left wing is mainly for teaching and administration, while the right is for study and research. The central zone included a exhibition hall, a rooftop garden and a cafeteria, and acted as the circulation node. The open space above the exhibi-tion hall served as a transition level, providing a gathering space for relaxation.

Development Background>Starting from the theory of Foucaults heterotopia, the location represents the juxta-positioning of various functionalspaces commercial, transport and heritage.
The re-development of the interchange transport terminal near the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier provides the chance to re-iterate the uniqueness of the site.
The Context
>Historical details and site analyses revealed a tri-directional flow of transport. These directions were choosen as entrance for the future atchitecture; as such, cross-sections were experimented and graphically illustrated by 2 over-lapping traiangles.
The development>Site analysis generated 3 plausible orientations representing the entrances. Further development tested the multi-directional flow, forming a mesh. Such a horizontal plane concept was then extrapolated to the vertical plane. The tri-directional concept eventually expanded to form an 3-level building that consisted of multiple 3-system self-sustaining floating untis.
The development>The 3-system referred to the roof system, the pallet and the cargo container.

>Site
The Transformation>Development of the form of the roof originated from the functional shape of cargo containers.
Experimentally transforming the shape of container was then tested. Changes in shape were limited because of its rectangular form. Later, simply breaking down one side of the rectangle, greater number of transformation was possible from the resulting pentagon.
Distortion of these pentagons resulted in a much higher degree of flexibility in terms of storage and compartmental effect at the vertical framework for on site development.
Design Finalized>Freedom of flow was considered. A mesh-like horizontal plane was constructed to represent the freedom of transport. Direction of flow was completed with rail-like tracks built upon such imaginary meshes. Floor layer at each level could be manipulated in designated directions as desired.
History
>The generation of the flow of the site evolved from the pre-designated directions established since 1950s at the Pier end of Tsim Sha Tsui, which used to be a railway station.

Project Description
This project intended to explore the built environment in the future. Starting from the theory of Foucaults heterotopia, the site represents the juxta-positioning of commercial and cultural node. Situated next to Tsim Sha Tsui ferry pier, the redevelopment of the interchange transportation terminal has reiterated the unique-ness of the site.
The pre-designated flow of the site was established since 1950s, evolving from the old railway station. By overlapping the flow with the existing circulation, it formed a hexagon network horizontally. The plane then extrapolated into the vertical layer, consisting of a 3 level mega structure, which allowed for exhibition purpose.
To encompass the heterotopia with cultural area, existing heritage and commercial element, the architecture generates a tridirec-tional flow. The architecture is alive, dramatizing shifts in different conditions. With railing tracks installed upon the mega structure, the exhibition space will continually change according to varies programme. The movement are governed by computer monitor-ing. The metallic mesh facade permits the structural permeability between the exterior and interior space; it also enhances the internal mobility and movement of the architecture.
By creating this floating heterotopia, the museum could estab-lish more dialogue with the urban fabric. The aim of this project was to maximize the accessibility of cultural events into people daily routine that evoked a stronger bonding between culture, history and community.
Information graphic Based on the existing contexts and the concept of the development, a series of information graphic has been designed. The way finding of the design is base on the decision making checkpoint . These graphics will indicate the suitable pathway to the preferred distination.The following is the experi-ence of a visitors arrive the site from ocean terminal.
Contextual Optimization The ground floor final configuration would be defined by the pedestrians flow of the existing context. A series of entrance and pathway would be allocated distinguishly in coporate to the direction of the signage systems. Along the path, there would be exhibitions, provision of public services and landscape to enhance the experiences of the visitors.

The development >The 3-system referred to the roof system, the pallet and the cargo container.
>Site
The Transformation >Development of the form of the roof originated from the functional shape of cargo containers. Experimentally transforming the shape of container was then tested. Changes in shape were limited because of its rectangular form. Later, simply breaking down one side of the rectangle, greater number of transformation was possible from the resulting pentagon. Distortion of these pentagons resulted in a much higher degree of flexibility in terms of storage and compartmental effect at the vertical framework for on site development.
Design Finalized >Freedom of flow was considered. A mesh-like horizontal plane was constructed to represent the freedom of transport. Direction of flow was completed with rail-like tracks built upon such imaginary meshes. Floor layer at each level could be manipulated in designated directions as desired.
History >The generation of the flow of the site evolved from the pre-designated directions established since 1950s at the Pier end of Tsim Sha Tsui, which used to be a railway station.

Roof (inclination)>The inclination area of the roof is another utilizable area as seat-ings or for display or exhibition. Through anchoring display plat-form or detachable seats, such an area formed a mini-plaza. These inclination areas provide a theatre-like sloping for easy display or as complementary sitting area for functions held at the pallet floor.
Compartmentalised Flexibility >Some pallets constitute a functional zone within the building, specifically equipped for a predefined purpose, such as staff offices, meeting facilities, general utilities, control rooms, etc. However, flexibility is not excluded.The aim is to allow programmes to proliferate and expand within the mesh-like structure.

Circulation
>Relying on the ow of the pallet, different combinations of routes can be created. A single route is the simplest form. It controls the circulation of visitors to move in one direction and is suitable for the situation that only one user employed the whole level. Other routes can be generated from the two ends, fullling the concept of multi-directional ow over the mesh-like tracks as considered at the building conceptual development, depending upon the types of function held and the users needs.
Programmed Expansion >The mesh-like tracks provide a flexible structural compartment to facilitate the expansion of the building capacity( max. 3264sqm ---excluded 2 void space for inter-exchange of the pallet).Within the structure, the usablefloor area is free to expand or to contract any part of its component. Apart from the horizontal plane of expansion, extra space could be got through vertical expansion from the immediate level above.
Programmed Mixing >Various exhibitions could be held on the same level without infringement to each other by the use of lifting platforms nearby. Visitors would be able to observe the programmes next to the one they were currently participating but would not be able to cause interference.

Development Background >Starting from the theory of Foucaults heterotopia, the location represents the juxta-positioning of various functionalspaces commercial, transport and heritage. The re-development of the interchange transport terminal near the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier provides the chance to re-iterate the uniqueness of the site.
The Context >Historical details and site analyses revealed a tri-directional flow of transport. These directions were choosen as entrance for the future atchitecture; as such, cross-sections were experimented and graphically illustrated by 2 over-lapping traiangles.
The development >Site analysis generated 3 plausible orientations representing the entrances. Further development tested the multi-directional flow, forming a mesh.

The faced is made from stainless steel cable weaved to form a metallic mesh curtain. This permits a structural permeability between the external environment and the internal atmo-sphere. Visitors would find their entries into the architecture as natural as simple diffusion. And the mesh, by its form, would have numerous holes that allowed natural ventilation and lighting at the same time.
With its high visibility, visitors indside and the pedestrians outside would have an enhanced ex-perience about the innate mobility and movement of the building. This would attract people visiting the museum as if their usual daily routines.

PlayA Childrens Camp for Astronomical Observation, SaiKung, Hong Kong, 2002
Project Description
Architecture is always related to the nature. This individual project explored such a pos-sibility by designing a children camp. Located at the suburb area in Hong Kong, the site intended to pluck our new generation from the digitized lifestyle to an adventurous voy-age. The studio work gave strong emphasis on the forms, spatial qualities and material.
The maze-like circulation focused on allowing children to explore their imagination through a variety of artistic mediums, whilst being shown with a diverse approach to the natural environment throughout the journey. It comprised theme platforms through-out the site as part of the GAME PLAYING. The Treehouse designed for dormitories maximized natural lighting and ventilation. The rooftop could be utilized for astronomical observation.

Evolution of the cultural objectDifferent actions, namely destruction, fusion,disposition and penetration, have beenconsidered to apply on the development of thefinal desired cultural object. Destruction was first tested for the applicabilityon the faade development; the conceptoriginated with the historical event of theJapanese attack to Hong Kong, in the 1950s. The resulted degree of invasion, however,hindered the plausibility in applying such duringthe experimental stage.Other principal actions were used; alternatelywith the introduction and application of the lastfeasible actionMutation.

03 Hong Kong Cultural Heritage CenterA corner site between Hollywood road and Aberdeen Street, Central, HK, 2003
Project Description
The project was the final year program, signifying the completion of the course at HKU space. It was organized and supervised by an assigned professor - usually with one to three studio ran con-secutively per week. It also represented an individuals ongoing research about the theory and practice of architecture.
The site was situated in Sheung Wan, a district preserving most of the historical building in Hong Kong. Located between Hol-lywood Road and Staunton Street, the former Police Married Quarters was designated to be revitalised and re-used as a community center.
Historically, the transition of Hong Kong from a small fishing vil-lage to an international tertiary-service providing city had ren-dered a forceful combination of the two culture: the vernacular Chinese settlements and the Western colonial establishment, mainly the British. The enmeshment was disordered. Through 4 conceptual processes----fusion, mutation, disposition and penetration, the intentions of the project was to re-define the boundaries as so to generate the characteristic recognizable local Hong Kong culture. Aiming at that, a building would be preferably constructed using the above mentioned conceptual processes.
The exhibition gallery played a key role in the design. The can-tilevered glass box horizontally penetrated into the building, emphasizing the peculiarity of the Hong Kong culture - trans-parent, fragile and easily being intruded. The design also took into account to its surrounding fabric. The community space on lower levels offered a variety of programs such as cafe, post office, library, auditorium, art gallery, outdoor terrace and court-yard garden.

PENETRATION
The lack of specificity is disadvantageous to the development of the unique local Hong Kong Culture ; instead it welcomed cultural invasion or PENETRATION of other countries.
