Conference Room Island (11F)
Project is located in Straits Trading Building in
Central Business District in Singapore. It occupies a
total area of 1566.32m², including entire 11th and 12th
storey of the building.
Inspired by nature source, extremely symmetrical
hexagon honey comb cells, we begin by deconstructing
the honeycomb like traditional cubical boring working
place into an organic and dynamic environment.
Straight corridor in ordinary design is replaced here by
irregular and exciting corridor. At the meantime, in the
joint of those interesting corridors, internal courtyard
with illuminated feature BARRISOL tree structure is
introduced to increase face-to-face integration of the
people working inside.

The Arc on the Seaside
We believe that Arc is the most vivid line in nature.
The God sketches the world with arc line, whether the
community of plants and animals, or the unchangeable
oceans and mountains, or even some galaxy which is so far
away from us.
Considering the site located in Xiamen, a city in
China's southeast coast, and the building is orientated ocean,
we are trying to use a language to explain the construction
of its geographical characteristics, we eventually adopt in
the shape of a common shellfish on the beach as the starting
point of building intentions.
Using a similar form of shells, the roof seems as waves
in the ocean, and the intention of this construction happened
to correspond to Zhongyuan Group’s ocean-going trade. At
the same time, the shell roof of three-tier construction at the
northwest and the four-storey of the southeast formed the
landscape of falling roof.
The white long arc of the balcony railing, pithily,
rhythmically, and very gently reunifies the entire elevation
of the building. Conference Room Interior (11F)

Crossed by the Kyi River, Lhasa grew up at the foot of the Mount
Gephel. Surrounded by mountains, stretching its shape along East-West
oriented waterway, Tibet Natural Science Museum stands out against this
natural and impressive background.
Its folded roof is like a transposition of the peaks’ skyline.
The main body of the building, which welcomes visitors and houses the
natural museum part, symbolize the hilly nature (relief), cradle of Tibetan
civilization. It acts like a womb (matrix), source of humanity and progress,
witness of the past.
Two exhibition boxes located ahead are the representation of the
urbanity; the shape is voluntarily straight and regular. They offer to the
visitors spaces dedicated to Arts and Science.
Past, present and future act in one space. The museum is more than an
exhibition space. It symbolizes the expansion of the Tibetan civilization.

Pattern Transformation
The panels’ assembling forms a pattern which derives from symbolic
elements. It is a combination between Mandala and Endless Knot
representations, expressing mediation and interrelation concepts.

Pattern Transform & Organization
The work on the pattern permits to make the mash more or less dense. This gives the ability to filter the sun’s rays and,
thus, control the light and temperature inside the building.
The pattern changes according to the façade exposure, and shows different aspect from North to South.

6 ● Photography
Potala Palace, Tibet, China
Photography is more
In my childhood, I was always curious about the device with a
mysterious eyeball that can capture images, and wondering when I would be
able to get one for my own. Till 9 years ago, I owned my first camera, which
really brought me into the filed of photography.
Nowadays, as the development of technology, various of digital cameras
are available and affordable to almost everyone, and eventually photography
is now becoming a way of life.
After years of practice, photography to me is not only taking a well
composed and correctly exposed picture, but also, it is a way of evoking
feelings and telling stories.
Photography is more.
