Piece It Together

The apartments are made up of prefabricated parts that easily snap together like a jigsaw, can be arranged into infinite forms, and can be easily disassembled at the end of its shelf life to recycle its parts. The project anticipates future changes around its host body. If the demand is there, the building can scale up to accommodate more people.

Atomique

The basic concept for the design and layout of this housing project is inspired by the branching structure of the nuclei of atoms. Specifically, the modular units that make up the housing structure are designed to mimic the branches of an atom’s nucleus, while the cores and open spaces within the structure are meant to represent the nucleus itself.

INTERLOCK

An understanding of modularity within emergency housing is pursued at a scale to house hundreds of people with the potential to morph and grow through demand. Adaptability is put into question as the needs through disaster change depending on the circumstances, to which a modular design of easy assembly is pursued to communicate safety and retreat.

DISORDER PENETRATIVE＆INTERACTIVE STRUCT

In the eyes of the public, the traditional barn is closed and isolated.But we want to change their use-value through decomposition and transformation of the structure and appearance, transforming the outdated barns into a comprehensive space suitable for people to study, live and communicate.the form of "decomposition"also can welcome new possibilities.

Daily Light

Daily Light is composed of 15 space units, including 13 living units and 2 service units. Through arrangement and stacking, the middle corridor is shaped as the main passage connecting the space, and the stairs in the atrium connect the vertical space. The terrace formed after the units are stacked can be used as an open-air cinema.

POCKET OF LIGHT

The scheme takes Tetris game as inspiration for unit layout. Due to the site constrains, our design follows a performance-driven generation workflow to arrange the unit combination and optimize interior microclimate. In respond to the immigrant homeless issue, the co-living space is added in between for social interactions to re-energize the community.
