PORTFOLIO For the application to the UCL Bartlett Programe :MArch Architectural Design
LUO TONG tong_lo@outlook.com SELECTED WORK FROM 2016-2020
Boundary Boundary is an invisible wall happens from certain reason. Industry, History, Geography.People....
Architecture Architecture defines what the city look like. People define the architecture . Vice versa, it affects people 's daily living.
Design Through design. it could be three dimensional bridge between people and environment.Blurring the boudnary is the main strategy of mine to weave the elements together again during the conversations in the portfolio.

[ Issue ] 1938. During World War II. The japanese navy bombers attacked the site , almost every facilities were destoryed
1866. The Qing government chose Mawei as the Marine Arsenal site and established Mawei shipyard
1866
1906 Zuo was the first leader of building the shipyard. Until 1907, 40 ships were producted from here
1971. First freight railway which connected Fuchow and Mawei was built and activiated local industry production again.
1946 1941. Imperial japanese army landed Fuchow and forced workers to dismantle all the machine.
1976
With the train and boat transportation , the harbour could operate we;;.
2016. For production purpose. Shipyard moved to another place. The original site was closed
2016 Eventually, Mawei has to transform from industrial city to a more livable city.
Th
Mawei city was built mainly based on the shipyard, then expanded to surround. The local esidence gradually moved near the coast, After 40 years, people have more complaint that the industiral site set a barrier to city development. So renovation of city transportation become the first choice.

In the past , main transportation was built to support the shipyard industry , while main road and railway set a boundary. So weaving the existed traffic and allowing people to build a tie with shipyard (now it is useless land ) is the purpose of the project. 0 km

[ Project ]
01
Connecting city barrier The programe could be left from the ground and can connect people from both side. Also, creating a city scenrio above the railway.
02
Using low-used land There are many factories occupied most land of the city, There were no place for public activities. The programe will be constructured in the lowused land in factory, adding more public space.
03
Join the city traffic The new accommodation will settled above the main traffic, so that immigrants could be convient to live the city instead of renting a house in rural area.
The immgrant city programe could integrate into different environment, differs from occupying more lands ,and improving work efficiency.

The top floor features community , where immigrants could rent in a low price . Under floors plug-in different module with the interactive procedure of production.

View from the street ( Combine with project i: transportation center ) The systrem could integrate into different content in the city . it creates a bridge connecting the boundary made by industrial product and citizen. Meanwhile , the sky-train technology could not only trans goods and people ,also becoming a landmark of Mawei city.

The river come from the mountain top, through the old village and farmlands. Since 1950 , the place become a boundary . After 60 years, the boundary and shelter become a common memory of residence and soldier , as a witness of this memory . so i also de-fine the place as a bridge. 22

Dismantle the roof.Keep the wall. Build the outside-frame.
Extend the height of space. Open the skylight. Let nature light across
Make the arch inside frame. Keep part of the falsework .
[ Typology ]
Beside protecting the original strccture , i mixed the arch type with the elements of temple , and place into the linear space. Through the change of the space to enhance or make people feel the memory .

Eventually , people face a huge pool, reflect the outside forest ,wind ,ehjoy meditation. Or climb the tower to see the different view of village and camp.
The shape of the pool is designed as the skylight, when the light coming through,like a scenrio in the tunnel means "Hope". also it could reflect protected wall ,as a monument.
At the beginning of path, visitor will walk through a square pool , also is the last scernio of the path. means " Rebirth "
Setting a flowing water through the whole space . And the narrow-linear spatial environment could enhance the echo of the water and people . 26

Social seperation, it has been a regular problem in Kinmen . As a place connect strait, it regularly acts as a transfer spot. Due to that, young genreration are more likely to modern city like Xiamen and Taipei, left the children and elder people. The project aimed at creating a place where different age group of people could attend activity, meanwhile being taken care of older people.

"Citizen as protector" Learn from Jane Jacobs , the concept of 'eyes on the street' .The street should be designed as accessible, attractive and safe in an available distance. The pedestrian could be a invisible protector.

Selecting the street type from public space in the old town in Kinmen,(Religion activity is essential in here). Studying the relationship of the public space and street: Normally activities are intergated with street, so that different ceremonies determine different social distance and architecture plan.
[ Extending ]
1. Choose the border between new planning block and old-built community. 2. Place close street into planning block in different distance. 3. Different activities took places in the built-street and the blocks. 33
