WENDY AT PS1(GROUP PROJECT)
X-ray Axonometric Drawing 9*8 ft
Continuing the experiment of using human bodies as scales, the group of 11 students collectively measured the installation, named Wendy, using span of our arms, legs, and other body parts. Each student produced one section of the x-ray drawing according to agreements and guidelines developed by the group for maintaining consistency. And the combined drawing demonstrated details of Wendy including its frame, angle of the spikes, length of the fabrics, and location of fans, water pools, protective pads, etc.
The wind of calmness takes away the pain.

Fall 2012 Confluence
Confluence(Fall 2012) After her flamboyant collection in the last season, Rae has been seeking for a softer and organic representation of her style. After a day in Frank Gehry’s Experience Music Project in Seattle, wondering in Gehry’s flowing irregular architecture, immersed in loud rock music and noise, Rae found EMP yet a place for recollection, reflection and meditation. Her collection embodies her experience at EMP, merging a current of various elements and consolidating into calmness.

Leaking House
Plan, Section, & Perspective
24”*36” Graphite on Mylar
The site was at the corner of Lenox Avenue and 125th Street in Harlem, New York City. Assuming there existed 11 brownstone apartments, the group of students was to transform the buildings to art galleries, representing their experiences at Wendy MoMA PS1. While each individual structure was designed using Wendy’s fabrics, the 11 buildings shared common programs of a standard basketball court at the backyard, as well as a water pool that would allow visitors to swim though every building from apartment 1 to 11.
Wendy’s fabrics was cut and folded to integrate into the brown stone structure. However, the fabrics remained as one connected piece.
Inspired by the leaking raincoat, Leaky was an gallery, a book store, a coffee shop, a viewing platform of basketball game, as well space for meditation. Leaky was designed have multiple programs interweaving each other such that the one program would penetrate to the space of another, just as how water leaked through the raincoat. The use of space was flexibly determined by its user. Agreement was made with Leaky’s neighbor, Apartment 9 and Apartment 10, to take down the mutual party walls, so their programs could also leak into Leaky.

Wearable Wendy
24”*36” Graphite on Mylar
Wearable Wendy was a device that would allow the user to have connection with Wendy at any location and at any time. Wearable Wendy was designed and made from materials shopped from IKEA. When inside Wendy, visitors were surround with the blue panels of the spikes, and therefore experienced difference layers of transparency. The first prototype, more sensational, enabled its user to pay attention to subtle change of light as the user walked in the device. The user could only interact with the outside world from limiting sights. Rather, the environment would come to the user in flowing shadows.
From designing prototype 1, the search of transparency was turned to look for what would leak. The second prototype, more simplified and functional, was a raincoat that originally designed to protect its user from Wendy’s water spray and to collect the water for reuse, but turned out to be a raincoat that leaked.
The diagram mapped the changing light seen from inside of prototype 1, while walking inside the studio. The weaving of the curtain significantly influenced the shadow.
Wendy Apartment
Plan, Section, and Axonometric
24”*36” Graphite on Mylar
Based on the drawing, students designed apartments for themselves that would fit in the space defined by their personal section of drawing. Therefore, Wendy became a building of 11 apartments with various styles based on different needs.
This apartment was developed with the grid of Wendy’s cladding and fabrics of it’s spikes the to most utilize existing building materials.
