Porosity

Porosity is a parametric façade system driven by one logic: panel openness rises with height, from dense and private at ground level to open and daylight-filled above. Built on a 1.2m module across an 8m × 18m surface, it stays fabrication-ready and scales to any building without redesigning the logic.

The Oasis Monolith: Conceptual Sculptural Villa

An organic monolithic villa exploring the fluid harmony between sculptural masses, negative spaces, and premium cinematic design.

Ardavan Shelter

The Ardalan Project explores computational design through a custom parametric parapet system. Geometric rules control repetition, variation, dimensions, and component relationships, creating a flexible workflow that connects architectural intent with optimization, fabrication requirements, and final form.

Flow of Rhythm

Located along the Yangtze River between Yichang’s main scenic area and residential districts, the project reimagines the theater as more than a landmark. It becomes a civic, cultural, and recreational complex that connects residents, visitors, and the riverside landscape, expanding public activity and strengthening the relationship between city and nature.

Highway as Habitat

Highway as Habitat addresses a fundamental paradox embedded in the contemporary American metropolis: highways serve as essential infrastructures of mobility, yet simultaneously fragment the urban fabric by separating movement from habitation. As cities continue to densify, this horizontal system—once a driver of expansion—has become increasingly misaligned w

The Living Refuge — A Symbiotic Sanctuary for Humans and Vanishing Pollinators

First Prize winner of the 2025 eVolo Skyscraper Competition, The Living Refuge reimagines the skyscraper as a shared ecological infrastructure for humans and endangered pollinators. Through layered habitats, environmental systems, and adaptive architectural spaces, the project explores how dense cities can support biodiversity rather than displace it.

The Cultural Center in Szczecin as a reinterpretation of industrial space

This project revitalizes Szczecin’s Jaskółcza Island into a Cultural Center. Reinterpreting its 19th-century post-industrial heritage via parametric design, it creates an inclusive public space. It acts as a social catalyst, reintegrating the degraded waterfront into the city while preserving its genius loci.

AURA LIBRARY

Aura Library transforms environmental intelligence into social architecture. Using multi-objective parametric optimization, daylight, thermal comfort, visual comfort, and energy performance become design generators for a library where knowledge emerges through interaction, collaboration, and shared human experience.

Form Follows Data: Algorithmic Optimization in Architecture

Architecture is often defined by conflicting objectives. This research develops a Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) workflow with custom computational proxies for environmental performance, enabling objective evaluation of design alternatives and demonstrating how algorithmic optimization can lead to more informed, high-performing architectural outcomes.

PLUGGED-IN LIVING Sustainable Urban Solutions through Vertical Expansion and Modular Housing

Plugged-In Living is an adaptive high-rise housing system for Dhaka using modular plug-in/plug-out apartments linked to a central service core. It enables flexible expansion and reconfiguration as families change. Located in Vatara, it integrates transit-oriented planning, climate response, and personalization of living spaces for resilient urban living.

The Rain

This master’s thesis reinterprets the Shenzhen Opera House brief, reimagining it as an open civic landscape shaped by the concept of “Rain,” where Shenzhen’s subtropical climate becomes a spatial system that dissolves the boundary between architecture and public space.

Between Fiction And Debris

This project explores how architecture can exist within fictional worlds and what that means for how we understand and design space in reality. It begins with a simple question: if a world is imagined, can its architecture still be considered real through the way it is experienced, understood, and constructed?
