Temporariness &Archicycle


This thesis develops on the belief that architecture can mediate between different conditions in scope of time and space. Starting from material’s ( textile) property research ,it provokes a new method of exploring sculpting geometries’ profile from two dimensional frames

Towards Weather-Architecture


ARTIFACT This thesis explore a new relationship between three——people, architectural interface and exterior climate to replace the relationship between two——architecturae(including people) and exterior climate. Renegotiating the relationship is crucial in creating sustainable environments that simultaneously able to exploit the exterior
