Recomposing Paper Architecture
[Thesis Statement] Waste gas emission and waste material generation in construction are causing major environmental issues nowadays. The use of modern materials, such as concrete and steel, contributes a significant part of it. This thesis challenges the norm of using unrecyclable

Architecture after Disaster: Reliving in Post-disaster Area
Whenever people were suffered from the natural disaster like the earthquake and war, most of that injuries and deaths were not due to the disaster directly but due to the lack of living space, water problem and diseases. However, the

Architecture as a ‘Safe house’
Earthquakes. Calamities. Natural disasters. Such headlines have been appearing more frequent in recent headlines. Can architecture help prevent damage from these disasters? Can architecture help heal the psychological and physiological trauma of such experiences?
For my thesis I will look into designing ‘calamity proof’ buildings. Shelters that can function on a day-to-day basis with mixed use functions for the community. When needed, it will transform itself into a ‘safe house’, a haven for those to escape and take shelter.

Architecture After Disaster
The number of people that have been forced to flee their homes has reached a post-war peak of 60 million, one third of whom had to leave their country. From that apocalyptic statistic, designers cannot just stand by and watch

Reusable Olympic Stadium
Every two years, a city invests millions of dollars preparing for either the summer or winter Olympics constructing numbers of facilities in a short period of time. However once the Olympic flame is extinguished, some of these venues become useless and fall into disrepair.
This thesis explores the potential of temporary building material that is inexpensive, readily available and recyclable, particularly in the form of paper as a source of inspiration. Taking paper as key structural material, this project challenges the current construction inertia of using steel and concrete for Olympic venue construction, in attempt to create an architecture that can be easily disassemble and reassemble in subsequent events.
