beukenhof crematorium Beukenhof, Netherlands The Beukenhof auditorium and crematorium as envisioned by Asymptote is an architectural work that provides the city of Schiedam and its neighboring areas not only with a much needed new and modern facility but also with a new cultural building to be inserted into the city’s urban fabric and lush environs. The abstract and contemporary quality of the architectural design celebrates the many diverse religions and cultures of the region while addressing the unique traditions, rituals and sensibilities of the different faiths that the building will accommodate. The fluid and pristine nature of the building’s envelope merges the exterior architectural form with the natural surroundings. The architecture is experienced in harmony with the elegant tree-lined canals and the serene landscape that sit alongside the building. These aspects of the physical environment are an inspirational backdrop that works in tandem with the atmospheric quality of the building to create a poetic work that embraces nature and life. The meandering form of the sculptural exterior is reflected within as smooth surfaces that delineate spaces of movement and worship. A delicate pattern of apertures in the roof creates interiors bathed in diffused and modulated light. The various sounds and the play of light produced by water flowing along the building surfaces and collecting in adjacent pools imbues the building with a powerful but serene atmosphere. These elements complement the physical form of the building and create a meaningful and unique addition to the architecture of Schiedam.
Making of presentation model fot the project involved coordinating materials of model base, cnc milled landscape made out of maple, and pearl-white finished 3d print. Different material options are tested out together with lighting.Process also involved preparing 3d geometry suitable for fabrication.

kaoshiung marine gateway Kaoshiung City, Taiwan Asymptote’s design for the new Kaohsiung Marine Gateway Terminal proposes a visually powerful and highly efficient transport and public facility that connects the heart of Kaohsiung to the city’s impressive waterfront. The Kaohsiung Marine Gateway Terminal as envisioned by Asymptote is designed to invigorate and activate Kaohsiung’s city edge at the waterfront though vibrant open public spaces and facilities that together bring a powerful and electric experience to the city 24 hours a day. The new Kaohsiung Marine Gateway Terminal would become the primary marine gateway to both the city of Kaohsiung as well as to all of Taiwan.
During the design process, I worked on the transition between the maya and rhino models, as well as making phyisical models from the process. I utilized laser printer and 3-d printer to work with the complex geometry.

bath house Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, Maryland, USA A person who emerges from an alcove - a carved out place in the solid of mystery - dives into the delicate and intense sense of listening. How can a space be so open and enclosed at the same time? It is the light that comes in which gives the space airy presence, sculpting the fine line that divides the interior and exterior to poetry. The vault is full of light. Adjacent to the space of light comes the space of shadow. One can’t see well in here, but starts to touch. The striation of this space directs you or lets you stay at certain spots, to dwell with the texture of the spot. Water travels, makes sounds, and touches a person - and the senses disperse and get absorbed. When these senses take the physical shape, perforations, made out of solid materials and non-solid materials(light + air), happen.

Diversion of space into two parts is created by retaining walls. The ceiling-roof structure creates the basis of plan, which will turn at each successive levels of floors. The members that will act as screening for water vapors and light will go through porosities. The porosities are created by the pattern in ceiling-roof structure and floors. The skin encloses the space of northwest wing at top floor (dressing room), while it encloses the space of southeast wing at all three levels. The dressing room is supported by stack of stones. Another stack of stones covers south face of the warm room, creating the enclosed deck in front of the warm room.

diagram Fishes are depicted as white voids among multitudes of black parts, which depict the individual movements of fishes. The fishes are chased by a predator. At each successive row, the movements of flock is pinching towards a center to show that the depth of space the flock is traveling is dynamically changing. This study of flocking shows that variation among the individuals direct and at the same time submits to the movements of a flock as whole.
model - concept study Getting the sections from traces of the voids in movements of the flocking of school of fish, connections between the sections are made to further illustrate/transform movements and spatial quality.

rocking chair The chair is made out of 22 laminated layers of 1/24” thick plywood. A special kind of veneer glue is used for lamination of plywood layers, which doesn’t require air to cure. This was essential because the vacuum press was used to bend the plywood. Initially taking a rocking curve from the Eames’ rocking chair, the rocking curve kept transforming throughout experimentations. A lumbar curve changed a lot along with the rocking curve, in order to achieve comfortableness as well as the right rhythm of rocking motion. A 1/4” wide slit was made on the plywood layers 3” from both right and left edges in order for arms of the chair to separate from main body of the chair.
storytelling store Alexandria, Virginia, USA A carving illuminates structure of a material. The resulting void and solid are physical evidences of plays among the material’s resistance, its tendencies, and the carver’s understanding of the material. From by Georges Perec This is the moment when it all gets very complicated; Well, I couldn’t manage to stand up..... That’s the moment when doubt appears. It was exactly as if everything had been thrown back into question. That’s the moment when the problem of choice poses itself. Exactly the problem of life as a whole. That was the moment when I knew I was going to have to put my trust in things that were wholly alien to me. That I was going to have to begin assuming my situation fully, definitively.

tiempo, gravedad, y violencia Pine Ave. @ Ocean Blvd. + Seaside Ave., Long Beach, California, USA This is place for nomadic sculptors to work and live (temporarily). Time is experiential. Gravity holds things together. Working with a substance is violent. Perhaps we are all nomads in nature. The project is a result of imagining a place for sculptors who are well aware that they are nomads. My questions concerned floor conditions of their exhibition area - the floor, the constructed ground we stand on - which is curvaceous and therefore unstable to stand on, and has “dents” to let one stay amongst all the movements happening on that ground. Light wells (where the columns go through) connects the housing and the gallery. Their production area is apart from the gallery and the housing to celebrate the process of travel. The garden roof above the production area makes the travel of moving through(and staying for sometime) the city more pleasurable.

tubes Berg Gallery - Cal Poly SLO, California, USA This is an installation for thesis book show that our studio had in the beginning of the winter quarter 2010. The initiating idea was to create a cave that runs along the facade of the main window of the gallery, using cardboard tubes. We developed stalagmite/stalactite idea, with vertical tubes that come from the both ceiling and floor, meeting in the middle. In the final design, we came up with four layers of “walls” of varying thickness, with cardboard tube sections. Two walls in the middle created book cave, while the other two became screen element that covered window and division of space within the gallery.
