WALLINGFORD URBAN CENTER FOR THE ARTSStudio project 2012 - Individual work
This project aims at creating a cultural hub for different groups of people in the community to come together and foster the arts in Seattle area. The facility provides affordable studio spaces, exhibit spaces and performing stages for local artists. The key idea for this concept is the convergence of the different cultures that shape Wallingford community. Through cultivating the cultural scenes in Seattle, this building acts as a catalyst for the city’s urban development.
Downtown Seattle is currently the main hub for cultures and arts, based on the concentration of art galleries and performance centers in this area.

SHIPYARD OFFICE BUILDINGWork Project at RSP VN - in team of two
The concept design of a four-story office block for a Shipyard Company in Vung Tau, Vietnam
projects a corporate and dynamic image with the use of strong lines and forms. The
interlocking vertical masses anchor the building firmly to the ground while complimenting the
primarily horizontal form of the building.

The slanting facades and sweeping roof form make references to a ship.The large roof overhang offers shade while allowing views to the sea. The east side of the office housing meeting rooms and cafeteria offers expansive views to the water, while the west side is more private for office uses.

A SHELTER BY THE STREAMStudio Project 2010 - Individual work
The shelter by the stream provides a tranquil shelter for a small group of campers in Cleveland Memorial Forest. With a minimal set of materials, the design integrates with a bridge structure that spans across the stream. Occupiable spaces hover over the stream with a clear view of the water and the forest. The dining space is elevated from the crossing path, marking a central space for gathering and giving hierarchy to the structure.

TIBER RIVER MUSEUMStudio project 2011 - Individual work
The foundation and development of Rome in history is parallel to the ebb and flow of Tiber River, which calls for a museum dedicated to the river itself. The Tiber museum is focused on creating a platform to experience the river from the modern perspective. Outdoor spaces are created in pockets between buildings with views to the water. A new building is added to make connections to the pre-existing buildings and provide a sequence of spatial experience while descending to the river.

A study model of the MALMO KONSTHALL in Sweden by Klas Anshelm. This small project was done in group of three for two weeks, where I was specifically responsible for the plaster cast and wood floor. This sectional model is an abstract representation of the spacious interior space lit by 550 skylights to study of the order of construction.

This project is an experiment at creating a woven structure from a set of random points generated in Grasshopper, which aims to give the final product an organic look. The challenge of this project is arranging random points into an order system. After that, intersection points are called out to be moved up and down for the weaving appearance.Class assignment 2011- Individual work RANDOM POINTS ARRANGE POINTS INTO SUBDIVISIONS

CELADON CITY DEVELOPMENT IN HO CHI MINH CITY- RSP ARCHITECTS PLANNERS & ENGINEERS (VIETNAM)
I was part of a five-member team for the concept design of Celadon City. The project consists of high rise apartment buildings and three-story terrace housing.
Due to the dense development on site, the design focuses on arrangement of buildings in terms of views to the park and over-looking issues with neighboring high-rises. Besides, economic factors are considered when strategizing the housing development type that would match the current housing trend.
CAPITAL CITY DEVELOPMENT IN YANGON, MYANMAR - RSP ARCHITECTS PLANNERS & ENGINEERS (VIETNAM)
The project is a mixed-use development including three apartment towers, an office tower and a shopping mall podium, next to a 3-winged residential tower complex.
I was part of the Project team to develop the existing concept design further into Schematic and Construction Documentation phase. My responsibility for this project includes reviewing concept design drawings, proposing changes necessary to comply with building codes and technical requirements, and production of working drawings.
9 MILE MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL IN YANGON, MYANMAR - RSP ARCHITECTS PLANNERS & ENGINEERS (VIETNAM)
The proposal focuses on envisioning the street axes with a concentration of shopping malls within the mix-used development. Pockets of greenery, large public gathering spaces, and outdoor kiosks are distributed along the street as visual attractions for the shopping malls.
My involvement includes the inception of the proposed design, concept diagrams, 3D modelling and rendered presentation.
