Boom fashion brand roadshow in China
This is an exhibition design project for a trendy fashion brand’s roadshow in China. The theme of this roadshow highlights the youth’s potential to stylize their own image, and symbolizes the explosive noise this roadshow made in the public. Zigzag form was used as the major visual element, but with different configurations when applied in the booths in different cities. The structure of the exhibition booths were all “kit-of-parts” prefabricated in factory and installed on site. Some parts can be reused or reconfigured to form a new booth design for the next stop of the roadshow.

Weaving Space multi-functional headquarters
In this project, a used factory building was transformed into a multi-functional space that includes a showroom, a catwalk and a design office. Inspired by “cloth weaving”, an aluminum-extruded profile was used as the basic component of the walls. Different densities of the extrusions define different functions of the spaces. The wall of the façade looks like a large coffer from which all unauthorized person could be barred. Inside the building, extrusions of lower density are used to make all the spaces semi-transparent, so as to encourage communication between franchisees and designers.
