My design ideas always come from site. It can be about its history, narratives, weather conditions...... I like designing dynamic spaces that are fun and ephemeral. My passion

in sustainable aspects evolves in my diploma years, from detail design to impacts in the energy system. My professional experience ranges from complex civic project to

internal fi t out.

CITIZEN YANPAPER THEATRE INSPIRED

BY A STILL FROM CITIZEN KANE

The paper toy theatre was inspired by a still from Citizen Kane. In fi lm production, the stage may only look the same as on the screen. Looking at it from different perspective, it may appear to be another thing. There is always an interplay between scale, light, shadow and perspective of viewing the theatre. Taking this idea, I imposed my imagination on the still and developed my own story.

Weaving my own story into the original script.

Making the toy theatre by recycling a wooden chair.

The same elements were used to rearrange the set. The scene looks the same as the still from the front view. Yet as the theatre is animated, the story that I wrote reveals.

Animation of the toy theatre - A tale about the characters and the shadow

01 Small house in the front swings open. A fi replace and a shelf are revealed at the back.

02 A heroine sneaks into the giant’s room to rescue a little girl, who is trapped in the giant’s cage.

03 She moves towards to centre of the scene

04 The giant’s eagle dashes down to attack the heroine.She quickly escapes.

05 She throws a piece of cake to the shelf to distract the eagle.

06 The shelf breaks as the eagle lands on it. A key on the shelf falls down.

07 The heroine picks up the key.She climbs up a ladder and lower the cage down.

08 The little girl is rescued.

09 They make use of the fi re light up the hot air balloon.

10 As they rise, the giant wakes up, but they still manage to escape.

ST JOHN’S PALACEARCHITECT’S CLUBHOUSE

FARRIGDON, LONDON

St John’s Gate in Farringdon was once the gate for entering the St John’s Palace. The Palace has gone through different uses throughout centuries and is now lost. Farringdon is now the hub of architects. This project translates fi lm editing technical such as insert, dissolve and fade in to recreate the St John’s Palace.

The space above and next to the St John’s restaurant is chosen as site, taking reference from the exiting palace gate. The Palace is an architect’s club, with food and drinks served by this famous restaurant.

InsertFade in fade out

The restaurant is converted from a smoke house and has layers of history. The footprint is used to design the layout of the palace.

The dinning unit can slide up and down, in and out, having different views and forms room of different size and functions.

FLOATING FISH RESTAURANT

CREATING DYNAMIC DINING EXPERIENCE WITH TIDAL CHANGE,REYKJAVIK HARBOUR, ICELAND

The fi sh restaurant was inspired by a walk along the Reykjavik Harbour. Warm welcome by local fi sherman, extraordinary fi sh cuisine, beautiful harbour view…..

The central concept of the design is to make use of tidal change to create a constantly changing dining environment.

The shape of the building develops from the favourite Icelandic fi sh, Silver Herring.

The fl oating structure is borrowed from ships.

Corten, which changes its colour as time pass is chosen as the façade material.

One part of the building is static and the other part fl oats up and down according to the tides. This creates a changing view of the harbour and a conversation between the static part and moving part of the building.

The institute of light is a dual programme which consists of a creative photography school and a light park on the roof surface. The building is sited on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, overlooking the beautiful artifi cial Hollywood lights at night time and harvesting the natural Californian daylight.

The main part of investigation was featured on designing three natural daylight studios/pavil-ions, which displays the beauty of light patterns, light contrast and refl ection. The interplay of natural light and artifi cial light drive the spatial arrangement.

THE LOST RIVERINSTALLATION REVEALING THE HIDDEN FLEET RIVER, LONDON

It is an installation that rediscovers the lost Fleet River

Cross section of the complicated subterranean London Cross section of the installation

Animation telling the story of the Lost Fleet River Installation

01 River Fleet is covered up as London grew.It has now become a sewage.

02 On rainy days, water level rises and the River come back to live. It channels rain water down to River Thames

03 The installation is an abstracted shape on London and the Lost River.

04 By using a sensor to detect the changing water level, the installation is triggered, revealing the lost river in the form

of metaphoric ripples.

05 Interaction of the passerby with the device reveals the sub-conscious state of Londoners.

TATE + LYLE DESSERT PALACE

An inhabitable landscape for the enjoyment of food

A mechanical landscape to capture this food weather was designed in the started project. The theme of pleasure eating in an inhabitable landscape is carried forward to the main project.

Strict diets diminish our pleasure food. The dessert palace brings fun and guilty pleasures back into food. The Tate & Lyle Sugar Empire funds the Dessert Palace. An urban cultural network connects the Tate venues by ferries. The landscape, inspired by fl oral lace pattern, consists of fruit orchards, four dessert parlours and a waterscape. The parlours are in the form of gigantic fl owers with facades of rich colours and texture of desserts. Temptation and curiosity lures the visitors to interact with culinary forms and edible architecture.

A ferry network is formed to joins the Tate Galleries together, bringing visitors to the east London.

Estimation of energy demand of the Dessert Palace

In order to allow easier comparison to make design decision, energy consumption is estimated. The gross area of the Palace main building is separated into two categories, kitchen and gallery. Energy benchmark from CIBSE part F, is then used to roughly estimate the total power consumed per day.

Total demand= 14070 kWh per day

Calculation methods:

Daily electricity demand per unit in kitchen = 650 kWh/m2/yr = 650/365 =1.78kWh/m2/day

Total daily electricity demand in kitchen = 1.78 x areaDaily electricity demand per unit in gallery = 57 kWh/m2/yr= 57/365 = 0.16 kWh/m2/day

Total daily electricity demand in gallery = 0.16 x areaDaily gas demand per unit in kitchen = 1100 kWh/m2/yr = 1100/365 =3 kWh/m2/day

Total daily gas demand in kitchen = 3 x areaDaily gas demand per unit in gallery = 96 kWh/m2/yr= 96/365 = 0.26 kWh/m2//day

Total daily gas demand in gallery = 0.26 x area

Potential solar energy that can be harvested with Solar Thermal Energy System

Raw power of sunshine in London = 110W/m2 Possible south facing roof area in Dessert Palace is 1300m2

The fi gure is taken from the Viridian Solar test house in Cambridgeshire. In the experiment, the average solar power from 3m2 solar thermal overage was 3.8 kWh/d, hence, it is assumed that

Average solar power from 1m2 of solar panel =3.8kWh/d/3 =1.3 kWh/d

Hence, in the Dessert Palace,Solar heating could deliver 1300 x 1.3kWh/d = 1700 kWh per day

It is important to note that the fi gure obtained is averaged out throughout a year. As explained before, available solar energy varies throughout days and years.

Potential solar energy that can be harvested with PV

For simple calculation, an example from a house in Cambridgeshire is used. A 25 m2 array delivers an average of 12 kWh per day.

Electricity generates per square meter per day= 12 kWh/d/25m2 = 0.48kWh/d/m2

It is assumed that the Dessert Palace has south facing roof area of 1300m2

Hence, the amount of electricity that can be produced= 1300m2 x .048 kWh = 620 kWh per day

A PV/T hybrid system is used and harvest

Heat= 1700 kWh/d x 90%= 1530 kWh/dElectricity= 620kWh/d x 90%= 560 kWh/dTotal= 2090 kWh per day

Potential tidal energy that can be harvested from the Palace waterpark

The formula for rough estimation is obtained from Sustainable Energy — without the hot air

Tidal change (m) on siteDatum taken from North Woolwich which is the closest available to Silvertown.

Tidal range in spring tide = Mean High Water Springs - Mean Low Water Springs = 7 - 0.5 = 6.5m.

Tidal range in neap tide= Mean High Water Neaps - Mean Low Water Neaps = 5.9 - 1.5 = 4.4m.

Average tidal range = 0.5 x (Tidal range in spring tide + Tidal range in neap tide) = 0.5 x (6.5 + 4.4) = 5.45m

Area of the body of water in the water park = 30000 m2

A tide-pool is fi lled rapidly at high tide, and emptied rapidly at low tide. This is a two way generation so power is then generated in both directions, on the ebb and on the fl ood. Hence, there are 4 times which energy can be generated in a day. The change in potential energy for each 6 hours is mgh (J)

h = the change in height of the centre of mass of the water= half the rangeA = Area of the body of water in the waterpark = 30000 m2

m =mass per unit area covered by the pool=ρ × (2h)

So, power per unit area generated by a tide-pool per day = 2ρhgh x 4Applying to the design:

Power density of the tidal poolh=5.45m/2= 2.7 mm=ρ × (2h) = 1000 kg/m3 x 2 x 2.7 = 5400 kg/m2

Power per unit area per day = 2ρhgh x 4 = 5400 x 10 x 2.7 x 4 = 583200 J/ m2 / day

Power generate on site per day = 583200j x 30000m2

= 0.162hWh x 30000m2 = 4860 kW/h per day

90 % of electricity conversion effi ciency = 4860 x 90% = 4400kW/h per day

A two basin approach and pumping are used to enhance the system deigned, the tidal energy that can be generated from the site can be boosted up to 4400kWh/day x 150%= 6600 kWh/day

1. During the day, sunlight shines through the glazing and hits the surface of the water wall, warming it by absorption.

2 The shading device closes in summer time to prevent over heating.

3. In winter time, the low sun angle can heat up the facade .

4. Air between the glazing and the thermal mass also warms (via heat conduction). It is trapped within the air cavity.

Tidal energy generation and the dynamic waterpark

The artifi cial pool in the water park can be divided into two basins, one of which is the ‘full’ basin and one the “empty” basin.

In high tide, water from the River Thames fl ow into the full basin and this can be enhanced by pumping.

In low tide, water from the low basin fl ows out to the River Thames. The basin can be further emptied by pumping.

Whenever power is water is allowed to fl ow from the full basin to the empty basin. Hence, the process to harness tidal energy is revealed in the waterscape and creates an ephemeral experience

ARENA AND CONFERENCE CENTREKINGS WATERFRONT. LIVERPOOLWilkinson Eyre were chosen by Liverpool City Council to transform Liverpool King’s Waterfront following an international design competition. It provides a 10,000 seat multipurpose arena, a conference centre incorporating a 1,350 seat auditorium, and an 7,500m2

exhibition facility, supported by a major new public piazza. Wilkinson Eyre were chosen to undertake this project by Liverpool City Council to following an international design competition. The contract type is design and built. The project value is £105 million and is now completed.

EUSTON STATION REDEVELOPMENTInvited design competition for the redevelopment of London’s Euston Station, an important gateway to the city, and associated commercial and residential development. The scheme considered a range of town planning issues, as well as the operational requirements of the station. I was involved in the second stage of the Euston Station Redevelopment competition. Wilkinson Eyre was among three of the shortlisted companies.

GREENHOUSE CONSORTIUMThis competition design sets out to develop a new kind of headquarters building for a consortium of NGOs working in the environmental sector. The key challenges were to create a real sense of place, at the same time as providing the consortium members with highly innovative workspaces within a carbon neutral building.

Our scheme proposes a form which represents the coming together of a network of interests, the diagram of the building arranged to provide public, private and ‘privileged’ (or shared) space. Careful modelling of the building’s potential environmental performance has allowed us to develop a zero carbon strategy which uses natural ventilation, as well as alternative energy sources to service the building.

2012 OLYMPICS BASKETBALL ARENAWilkinson Eyre Architects won this job through a competition in November 2007. The Basketball Arena is one of the few remaining arenas to be designed for the 2012 London Olympics. The venue itself, although holding a capacity crowd or 12,000 spectators, would be a temporary venue housing both Basketball and Handball games. The job was won with a design team which included the multi-disciplinary engineers SKM Anthony Hunts and sports architects KSS. The lead consultant for the job is SKM (to whom we are sub-consulted) who are employed under an NEC contract. The job was completed in June 2011 and the project value is £26.5 million.

80 GOSWELL ROAD LONDONThis is the case study project that I shadowed to gain on site experience for the RIBA part 3 exam. The client was developer Derwent London, who has been a long time client of Allford Hall Monaghan Morris Architects. The existing layout was reconfi gured and improved to meet the market demand. The target tenants were the creative industry and a industrial, modern design was favoured. The project value was £0.64 million with a traditional contract.

REGENT STREET W4LONDONRegent Street W4 is a redevelopment of a new offi ce and retail block on 153-167 Regent Street, 12-16 New Burlington Street and 3-6 New Burlington Mews, London. The client is the Crown Estate and due to the prime location of the site and the targeting tenants, a high quality of fi nishes is required. The project had received planning consent on 10 December 2011. Demolition work has begun from 1st September 2011 when the tenants moved out. There is a 6 months demolition period which intrusive survey has to be done, especially for the retained façades and Grade 2 listed vault. The project is currently at detail design and package tendering. The project value is £50 million of a design and build contract.
