Awards 

First Place of Hollywood Central Park Competition hosted by SOM, 1st Place

With passion and curiosity on architecture design, I’m constantly honing my skill by taking challenges and leading a team to accomplish them. In Fall 2019, in a unique challenge hosted by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Friends of the Hollywood Central Park, Los Angeles architecture students were invited to submit ideas and inspiration addressing the connectivity, placemaking, programming or technology in the Park, Liang and I were awarded first place among the other 39 teams in the competition and took home the $10,000 grand prize.
In a unique challenge hosted by SOM, Los Angeles architecture students were invited to submit ideas and inspiration addressing connectivity, placemaking/programming or technology in the Park, a 37.6-acre open space proposed to be built over the Hollywood (101) Freeway. OVER & ACROSS, is a proposal for the development of an urban park in Hollywood, exploring the concept of sharing economies, connectivity and sustainability through the form of hills and tunnels that run across and underneath the site. A fusion of landscape and architecture in the park yields public green space and accessible roofs that bridge over the highway, seamlessly connecting disrupted parks on the ground level.

Third Place of USC Architectural Guild Charrette, 3rd Place

The design of 2028 LA Olympics Village in USC Architectural Guild Annual Charrette and has been distinguished as the third place by a rigorous and world-renowned jury panel, including Thom Mayne and David C. Martin.
The charrette premise and challenge were based around the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Participants were given the location of a site in Carson, California hypothetically donated for the Olympic Village. It not only challenge teams to create an Olympic Village that would serve its function, unify athletes from around the world, represent Los Angeles, and embody the Olympic Spirit, but also to consider the future of the structure and how it may be repurposed after the Olympic Games. Inspired by Herni Matisse’s artwork, the buildings were laid out as people hand in hand at the periphery of the campus while maintaining a open plaza in the center, serving as commercial and public area. After Olympic Games, the Village will be repurposed as an eco-park to accommdate citizens and visitors. Residential buildings will be partly removed and reused as landscape. The temporary hexagon modules will be relocated for housing the homeless or reused as event venues.
