“Interlock“ is the basic concept which leads the whole design process. This concept does not only helps with the space arrange-ment but also involved with the site construction for connection between Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University as an urban context .

Within the Wall project: Adavance StudioLocation: Fes, Morocco, North AfricaInstructor: Peter TagiuriYear: 2010
Fes is the cultural and religious center of Morocco. Featured by narrow streets, rugs, copper pots, donkeys, the smell of leather, and the citizens who work in dark basements, the city exhibits a great glory of charm.
The recovery of the hidden beauty of the plaza, which has been cov-ered by the dust of history for hundreds of years, is the goal of this project. The river nowadays has been used as drain sewer. My main objective is the reappearence of the river view. With the redesign of the bridge, roads and some of buildings, there would be a new view for people to appreciate the river.

House-Houseproject: Adavance StudioLocation: Make up a site accourding to the filmInstructor:Maria GuestYear: 2010
The generation of site as well as the concept of the building are both based on a scene from the film North by Northwest by Sir Alfred Hitchcock.
The scene that Cary waiting for “Clapton” in the field of nowhere moved me the most. Cary’s hope, anxiety, disappointment silently convey a true feeling of the uncertainty of life and future. People and cars run into the sight, get closer, and then leave forever. And sometimes, something unexpected would chase you away from your own view and past.
