I CAME ACROSS SOME COOL BUILDINGS

Check out these Navajo hogans, Spanish citadels and asian gazebos.  My mom designs contemporary houses and I get to help out. 

Applying AI - such as Generative Adversarial Networks - to architecture is also an enticing proposition for future projects.

CONTEMPORARY

FallingWater by Frank Lloyd Wright ( my 2019 visit).








We walked around an empty MIT campus this summer and admired the Stata center from the outside. 

 

The "controlled chaos" of the deconstructivist design is said to reflect what happen inside the building - the collision of  ideas.  MIT's computer science and AI lab is here.   Wish I get to clash some ideas here one day.











Stanford's Windhovers contemplative center, an elegant pairing  of geometry and organic forms. 















A house in our neighborhood.


HOUSES MY FAMILY BUILD








My family renovated the garden of Wolfgang Oehme's estate. He is a  landscape architect  known as the father of New American Garden - a naturalisitic design style. This pond is ecologically self-sustained. 




This organic contemporary house is almost done. I would like to make a few sculptures, and design a tiny writer's studio to go with the main structure.



We found Some functional sculptures for the housE above. I am seeking inspirations to make a few more pieces to match.

I Captured Two views of the empire state building. The second was through the skylight of the Amazon building across the street.

SPANISH













This 1700s' Spanish fortress reminds me of Star Wars.
