Space Making

A good space provokes meaningful affects and activities.

Well designed virtual spaces, together with compelling narratives, lay the critical groundwork to engage users with deeper immersion in XR experiences.

Below are several buildings and spaces I designed.

Minimal Surface Tower

  • The project reimagines the skyline of downtown Detroit. Along with the city's resurgence, Minimal Surface Tower is proposed to be the new icon of change and fluidity juxtaposed with the Renaissance Center, the Modernism architecture of Motor City’s old glory.
  • Tools: Maya, Rhinoceros 3D, Photoshop, Illustrator

Detroit Amtrak Station

  • The project is part of a TOD (transit-oriented district) to revitalize mid-town Detroit's urban space with public transit.
  • Tools: Physical model, Rhinoceros 3D, SketchUp, Photoshop, Illustrator

Informal Office

  • This project was conceived before the pandemic popularized hybrid work. The premise is that with the increased flexibility of work, work can happen anywhere in various forms. The main goal is to step out of existing paradigms and create a prototype to investigate new possibilities of informal work experience.
