# Chihyu Tsai Portfolio > Chihyu Tsai / 蔡智聿 — 透過設計整理複雜性. A professional portfolio across architecture, interior design, computational design, and custom tools. The visual homepage is reserved; this file is the site map for language models. The complete canonical archive is [ATLAS](https://chihyu-tsai.com/). This subsite is the professional layer: selected projects, practice notes, systems, studies, and profile. ## Portfolio - [Portfolio home](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/): Reserved visual index; project pages are listed below. - [逢甲大學資電館 FCU IEB](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_011_ieb/): The renovation of Feng Chia University’s Information and Electrical Engineering Building involved the planning of shared interior spaces throughout the academic building, including activity zones, informal lounges, and discussion areas. - [住宅C Residence C](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_010_c_residence/): This residential interior and pre-construction modification project brings three apartments together as one home. Given the larger scale and more complex inherited layout, the process began by identifying unworkable elements in the previous scheme and reorganizing the residence as a coherent whole. - [住宅K Residence K](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_009_k_residence/): This residential interior and pre-construction modification project combines two apartments into a single home. After reviewing the inherited scheme and identifying elements that could not be executed, the design was reworked around the residents’ needs and the actual spatial constraints. - [吉光片羽 Selected Works](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_008_selected_works/): A collection of selected works drawn from multiple projects, bringing together built designs, unbuilt studies, and proposals set aside during development. Though not every fragment became a standalone project, each preserves a particular line of thought, experiment, or design decision. - [逢甲大學共善樓 FCU Virtuosi Hall](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_007_fcu_virtuosi_hall/): FCU Virtuosi Hall is a new educational building comprising one basement level and one floor above ground, with the architecture designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates. The scope combined overall interior planning with the translation of the original design into buildable construction documents, including the practical demands of setting-out and on-site coordination. - [逢甲大學女生宿舍 FCU Dormitory](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_006_fcu_dormitory_03/): This renovation of Feng Chia University’s female dormitory focused on shared spaces across selected floors, including areas for activity, rest, informal gathering, and dining rather than the residential rooms themselves. - [逢甲大學男生宿舍 FCU Dormitory](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_005_fcu_dormitory_02/): This renovation of Feng Chia University’s male dormitory covered both the residential units and shared spaces throughout the building. In contrast to the light, warm palette of the earlier FCU Dormitory, dark grey and orange create a bolder visual identity for the campus residence. - [興達電廠國際競圖 otsotm](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_004_otsotm/): Developed with colleagues for the Hsing Ta Power Plant international competition, the proposal began by examining an unfamiliar building type and the relationships between the site, its existing facilities, and the infrastructure that supports them. - [逢甲大學精采學舍 FCU Dormitory](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_003_fcu_dormitory_01/): This new student residence for Feng Chia University involved the interior planning of the entire building, including a range of dormitory room types and shared facilities. - [住宅T Residence T](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_002_t_residence/): This residential interior and pre-construction modification project reconsidered how limited floor area could be allocated more closely to the residents’ actual patterns of use. - [海口四十二番地 Haikao No.42](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/portfolio/project_001_haikao/): Located in Haikou, Pingtung, this small hotel was conceived as an integrated architectural and interior project, introducing a contemporary hospitality experience within the context of a rural township. ## Practice - [From Drawings to Release](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/practice/lab_007_loopflow_release/): LoopFlow 2.0 rebuilt relationships rather than buttons: markdown as construction drawings, multi-model review, and a Package Manager release that does not mix with 1.0. - [From Prototype to Protocol](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/practice/lab_006_loopflow_prototype/): LoopFlow 1.0 began as field research inside Rhino: whether schematic design, design development, and construction documentation could stay in one model, with automation that the designer still controls. - [Building the System](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/practice/lab_005_atlas_framework_3/): How editable sources, local tools, AI collaboration, validation, and publishing workflows allow ATLAS to grow as a maintainable creative system. - [Designing the Experience](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/practice/lab_004_atlas_framework_2/): How ATLAS uses navigation, attention, continuity, and authored sequence to support different ways of viewing without losing orientation. - [The Purpose and the Container](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/practice/lab_003_atlas_framework_1/): Why ATLAS exists, how Fragments became its first container, and how different forms of creative work found distinct ways to be viewed. - [Street House Builder](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/practice/lab_002_builder/): Taiwan’s streets are shaped by informal additions, extensions, window grilles, and signs. Added by different occupants at different times to meet changing spatial needs, these elements accumulate into an architectural expression that appears chaotic yet carries its own order and a distinct sense of vitality. - [L-System Growth Study](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/practice/lab_001_biomorpher/): Form holds infinite possibilities. Beginning with the growth of a tree, this study translates branching patterns into a controllable set of generative rules, exploring how forms develop and transform as different variables are introduced. ## Systems - [Overview](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/systems/): A series of tools connecting Rhino, Grasshopper, Blender, and architectural visualization workflows. - [Introduction](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/systems/intro/): A semi-automated design workflow that keeps human decisions at the center. - [LoopFlow](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/systems/lf/): Design and documentation tools for Rhino 8. - [Rhino to Blender](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/systems/r2b/): One-way model, camera, and light synchronization from Rhino to Blender. - [Rhino to Octane](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/systems/r2o/): One-way model, camera, and point synchronization from Rhino to OctaneRender. ## Studies - [Creative](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/studies/creative/): Creative 是一系列以 Blender 與 OctaneRender 進行的視覺創作。並不以回應真實基地或完成特定故事為目的，而是捕捉一些浮光掠影的媒介。這裡是未命名的場所，在逐漸成形與即將消失之間的短暫狀態。 - [Fragments](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/studies/fragments/): Fragments 是一個持續發展的想像世界檔案，並非一次性的圖像生成。透過與 AI 的反覆對話與去蕪存菁，逐步建立各個世界的規則、空間語言與敘事線索；同時開發管理工具，整理影像、文字、時間與系列之間的關係，使概念能夠持續迭代並彼此連結。 ## Profile - [Profile](https://portfolio.chihyu-tsai.com/profile/): 透過設計整理複雜性.
