spatial / geometrical / mathematical / material processing The endeavours of Wendy W Fok’s research-based projects are dedicated to the creation of designs interlaced within the principals of procedural-based mathematics, logics, and material studies, within the field of architecture, digital media, and design. Her designs are substantiated through explorations between the cross-pollination of spatial installation arts and novel architectural innovations embedded within urban cityscapes. Wendy W Fok, director/founder and team member of WE-DESIGNS.ORG, LLC (Architecture) and atelier//studio-WF (Art), winner of the Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award (2009), and a selected designer of the Perspective 40 under 40 Award (2011), has a Master of Architecture & Certification of Urban Policy/Planning from Princeton University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, with a concentration in Economics (Statistics) from Columbia University. Notably, WE-DESIGNS.ORG, LLC has been selected by Twenty+Change (co-curated by Heather Dubbeldam and Lola Sheppard) as one of twenty Emerging Canadian Design Practices (2011) in Canada. Fok has an international background from Vienna, New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Beijing, Hong Kong & Canada. Her art installations have been displayed in Dubai, Vancouver, Toronto, Hong Kong, Shanghai, New York, Athens, Venice, & Prague, and has worked on several international architectural projects, exhibitions, & competitions— including the HKSZ Bi-City Biennale 2012, 12th La Biennale di Venezia 2011, the Shanghai Expo 2010, Athens Fringe Festival 2009, & Lower East Side Tenement Museum 2004/05. Fok’s interests are toward the investigations of contextual and content-related natures of fabrication, partnered with cradle-to-cradle material investigations that compliment scaled prototypes within architectural design. Meanwhile, her design methodology is to challenge the dynamic significance in structuring and mapping the ideals of art, architecture, and urbanism within the processes of [design | optimisation | fabrication] for resilient planning, material research, and alternative methods of fabrication with progressive aims within the built environment. On her spare time, Fok is the founder & administrator of (C)ODE-(C)OLLECTIVE— a collective forum for Grasshopper, Rhino, Parametric Modeling, & other digital media / design tools, which pose as an educational & developing archive site to formulate the critical utility of digital design— an Associate Member of the HKPDA (Hong Kong Parametric Design Association), and Contributing / Overseas Editor for the a+a magazine, published by the Architectural Society of China.Tumblr (3.0; @studio-wf)http://studio-wf.com/ Mappings of A Lover (MPL): This series of hand-drawings is a continuation of past projects which...http://studio-wf.com/post/19664678513http://studio-wf.com/post/19664678513Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:29:00 -0400Mappings of a LoverMPLWendy W FokPen & InkInkwe-designs  TETRA V.2 is an urban design installation reacting as a commentary to the contemporary state of...http://studio-wf.com/post/18304028395http://studio-wf.com/post/18304028395Sun, 26 Feb 2012 02:21:00 -0500TETRATETRA V2Hong KongHong Kong ShenzhenBiennaleHKSZ Biennale20122011we-designs*Note: Shadows produce Cityscape GEO-COGNITION is based on the geometric concepts of projective...http://studio-wf.com/post/16561559938http://studio-wf.com/post/16561559938Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:48:00 -0500geo-cognitionwendy w fokatelier//studio WFmichael cutullejose aguilarCome Up To My Room 2012Toronto Off-siteToronto International Design FestivalTorontoCanadaNew YorkLondonViennaHong Kongwe-designs Cross-Fabricated Scaled (CFS) is an investigative prototype of experimental cross-fabrications...http://studio-wf.com/post/14116769003http://studio-wf.com/post/14116769003Sun, 22 Jan 2012 09:17:00 -0500CFSCross Fabricated ScalesWall ModularPrototypedesign fabricationdesignarchitecturemodulesolid surfaceCNCwe-designs Parametric Systems: Theory + Practice Prototypes Exhibition: UHGBC Exhibition Opening Night – 17...http://studio-wf.com/post/21004310981http://studio-wf.com/post/21004310981Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0500Digital FabricationPrototypesMaterials ReserachDesignArchitectureGerald D Hines College of ArchitectureUHGBCHoustonWendy W Fokwe-designs Method:CNC 2D Milled, Thermo-MoldConstruction prototypeMaterial:36mm Corian (Binded)Design:Wendy W...http://studio-wf.com/post/14116354772http://studio-wf.com/post/14116354772Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:58:00 -0500CorianCNC36mm CorianBindedmaterial researchsolid surfaceconstruction prototypewe-designs The “critical angle” or Total internal reflection is an optical phenomenon that occurs...http://studio-wf.com/post/19661239328http://studio-wf.com/post/19661239328Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:27:00 -0500Total Internal ReflectionBridge 8ShanghaiExpoShanghai ExpoHong Kong Cretive EcologiesHong Kong Design AssociationCreate SmarkHong KongWendy W Fokwe-designs CONCEPT: The ongoing mediation between the ever proliferating networks and the international...http://studio-wf.com/post/14077901898http://studio-wf.com/post/14077901898Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:49:00 -0500installationathensgreecemapping networksattikoathens fringe festival 20092009fringe festivalartdesignhanging installationwe-designs CONCEPT: Today, a concern of sensorial experiences has permeated various fields, from sensory...http://studio-wf.com/post/14077561191http://studio-wf.com/post/14077561191Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:42:00 -0500artathensbyzantine museumcontemporarydesigngreeceinstallationmapping communicationsoundsound artsound designsoundscapeunbuilt2008we-designs Produced through the likes of a type-writer, the hypothetical Turing Machine, and/or player-piano...http://studio-wf.com/post/14306444137http://studio-wf.com/post/14306444137Sun, 11 Dec 2011 07:46:00 -0500La Machine à écrireinstallationartdesigncalligraphyFrancewe-designs Method: Single-Layered Lasercutting + Stacked construction prototypeMaterial: 0.25 inch cream...http://studio-wf.com/post/14116959988http://studio-wf.com/post/14116959988Mon, 05 Dec 2011 09:25:00 -05002Dlasercuttingflatcutmaterial experimentationpaperdesignarttoolingwe-designs Method: Layered LasercuttingMaterial: 0.5 inch foamcoreDesign & Fabrication: Wendy W...http://studio-wf.com/post/14116561539http://studio-wf.com/post/14116561539Mon, 05 Dec 2011 09:07:00 -0500material experimentationmaterial reserachfoamcoredesign fabricationlasercuttingwe-designs Method: Multi-Layered Lasercutting + Stacked construction prototypeMaterial: 0.5 foamcore + 0.5...http://studio-wf.com/post/14116247455http://studio-wf.com/post/14116247455Mon, 05 Dec 2011 08:53:00 -0500material experimentationlaser cutting2D3DRhinomaterialresearchflatcutwe-designs Culture surrounds the areas that create scale and urbanity.
