Here, rectangular and triangular-shaped quantum dots are shown. Energy states in rectangular dots are more ‘s-type’ and ‘p-type’. However, in a triangular dot, the wave functions are mixed due to confinement symmetry.>from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

I am interested in exploring new form/behavior and idea of interface through exploring quantum physics. Through exploring new emergent materials (nano to micro-macro), the final goal is to create a simple interface device that could be the proof of concept to the further projects.  Rather than creating scenario in the perspective of traditional time and traditional space, I want to explore the relativity of space and time in tangible ways. It would create new scenario of how humans interact both digital and physical world. The idea is very abstract, yet would further be developed.

Rather than a passive object, the space becomes a living organism that actively acts, reacts and interacts with human occupants. The pneumatic material could be cast and formed into any shape- which also allows flexibility in behaviors.

The images above show the possible pneumatic behaviors of architectural elements. The ground and ceiling could gain the data/ information from human and atmosphere; then react upon them. The parts could be inflated  and deflated due to the functional use(seats, table etc ) or emotional use(grief, joy etc) as shown in the image, soft landscape 001. The pneumatic ground becomes an active field with ongoing interaction.

I just finished my Master of Architecture program at Upenn. My interest lies on the interface and the possible medium of interaction between space and human occupants. My background is in architecture and sculpture. I have good experience in fabrication(laser cut, 3d print, cnc, molding etc.) and 3D programs(Rhino, Maya etc.).  Through participating in various interdisciplinary projects with engineers, I have also been introduced to some electronics and physical computing(arduino).

I’m very excited to be a part of the class! :>
