Architecture | My House. My Rules.
The project is a continual house that radically transforms the understanding of housing and materials. My partner (Wesley Lam) and I investigated ways of how to fold soft materials to offer enclosure and structural qualities such as: bond paper, mylar

Architecture | Habitat for Humanities
In the month of June and July 2011, I volunteered at the Habitat for Humanities in Buffalo to build affordable houses for residents. We began at the foundation of the house and built the platform of girders and floor joists

Architecture | Gradient Folding Pattern
This project was to explore different ways of manipulating flat sheet metals into a stronger component for building facades. Learning from my previous project “My House. My Rules.”, I investigated how folding paper techniques can be transfered into folding metal

Architecture & Physical Computing | Reactive Poncho
People have different levels of personal space and often times, these levels are violated. When the levels are violated, people do not address these intrusions due to the lack of comfortability. The reactive poncho allows the human being to address these

Architecture & Physical Computing | My Space. My Rules.
In a public environment, people tend to be too loud or quiet and are not aware of their surroundings. The table becomes active and commands people to be quiet or talk by a shuuuu or talk sound when certain decibel thresholds

Architecture & Physical Computing | Public Space
In public spaces, people occupy space at different periods of time, therefore, my group and I came with an idea of embedded real-time sensors as a light source. However, if a person or group over stays too long, the embedded
