Emm, maybe it started out as curiosity.

And then the environment and service which fit my needs may drive me to choose it again.

For example,When go out to eat alone, I prefer to find a quiet place. With less conversation in a single dining room and the peaceful atmosphere enables people to feel safe to be immersed in their own world.

42.8%

It is very common for a person to eat out alone.

Moreover, most people said they would consider a single dining room when eating out alone.

Many people enjoy the solitude of dining out alone,where they are either immersed in thought or in the present moment, or simply enjoying food or disengaging themselves.

What’s more, surrounded by eating alone can avoid the embarrassment in which there is no one to accompany and reduce the loneliness, I think most of the time, loneliness is contrasted by the hustle and bustle around.

HAND-MAKING MODEL 1:50

Exhibition Hall Of Fear Fear and Growth It's a building to place fear, and people who walk through it can pull out to watch their own fear.

It means bystanders are people in the bureau. We learn about ourselves as we watch our fears.

Design Process

When we pull ourselves out and observe fear, we are both players and bystanders. This is the beginning of reconciling with fear and understanding ourselves.

Step4:Trial Pavilion After observing the fear, at the Trial Pavilion, you can pull the fear out again and write it out for review.

Step5:Transfer station Passing through the Trial Pavilion, you will come to the Transfer station, where you will now lie back more calmly and review the whole process of fear.

Step1:Observatory At the Observatory of the entrance, you need to scan and validate your fears.

When we bring the unknown closer, we may be able to push the fear away.

Try to face the fear, figure out what it is you're afraid of, and face it. And then, you won't be afraid anymore

Imagine that you will not be frightened by any sensation. Imagine that nothing can destroy you. Then you will be able to withstand any feeling, any state. And even more.

There is no need to find a cure for fear, because the most effective way to overcome fear is to know who you are.

Bathhouse For Empty Nesters Responsibilities and Obligations The empty nesters in rural areas face great obstacles in bathing due to the occurrence of anoxia and falls during bathing. The purpose of this project is to build a public bath based on the old people's habits and demands for the indoor space of the bath.

Background

Research

Location Analysis

Under the trend of economic globalization, due to China's rapid economic development, accelerated urbanization process, a large number of surplus labor force in rural areas and other reasons, a large number of young and middle-aged labor force into cities for work and business, a large number of empty nesters in rural areas, and the trend is increasing year by year.

Bus Station

Nursing Home

Basic situation of Yuanwei Village Yuanwei village is a remote village located in Xiaoxian County, Anhui Province, where economic development is relatively backward. Most young people go out for work, while the proportion of empty nesters is as high as 70%.

Bus stops are few and far from public baths, and nursing homes are few and far between, making bathing difficult for the elderly.

Public Baths

Social and economic development has improved the living standards, housing conditions and medical and health care of rural empty-nesters.

However, the public bathing conditions for empty nesters in rural areas are still very simple and need to be improved.

AGING AND EMPTY NEST The aging of the population has led to an increasing number of "empty nesters" in rural areas.

SEX RATIO OF EMPTY NESTERS There are more men than women in rural empty nesters.

DAILY LIFE CAREGIVERS These old people are basically looking after themselves in daily life.

FREQUENCY OF CONTACT WITH CHIDREN Compared with urban empty-nesters, rural empty-nesters have less contact with their children. So bathing in winter is even more difficult.

Interview Do you have any inconvenient problems in the shower? Or what factors make you feel bad about the shower experience?

Bathing in a public bath can be suffocating and often makes you uncomfortable halfway through.

The stuffy air in public bath is easy to cause the occurrence of hypoxia for the elderly.

If possible, I would like to have some privacy in the bath, preferably a place to bask in the sun after bathing.

The frosted glass baffle does not affect the light and provides a bath space that protects the privacy of the elderly.

Slippery Floor

Micro cement surface material, increase water absorption, set up in line with the use of the old handrails, these can reduce the risk of fall.

Dislocation Space If I were to build you a public bath now, could you describe what your ideal old people's bath would look like?

Design Strategy

Armrest And Bench

Moist And Sultry

I think the floor of the public bath is always slippery and there is no handrail, so it is easy to fall.

Wet bathroom floors and lack of handrails are important reasons for elderly people to fall.

Narrow Steps

The narrow and high steps are not conducive to the use of the elderly, increasing the difficulty of bathing for the elderly.

Spatial Height Difference

Conclusion

Through the conversation to learn the old People's Daily bath problems.

Ask the old people bathing habits and the requirements of the ideal bath pool.

Personal hygiene is a matter of great concern to emptynesters, which is related to their health and personal dignity. They need a public bath that meets the needs of the elderly. Here they can take a comfortable bath and chat and play chess together afterwards.

The front and back staggered space design is conducive to air circulation, but also can reduce the probability of accidents for the elderly.

Sinking Baths

The sloped roof is designed according to the principle of air convection, which can reduce indoor water vapor accumulation, reduce air humidity and increase air oxygen content.

Frosted Glass Partition

In view of this problem, I will change the bath into a sunken bath level with the ground, and set up in line with the habits of the elderly bath steps.

Perhaps because of the wrinkles and spots on the body, the old man would like to have a private space to bathe.

Organic Character: The oxygen produced by plants can reduce the incidence of hypoxia in the elderly.

Structure: The sloped structure of the roof reduces the accumulation of water vapor in the top space, thus reducing the boredom of the bathroom space.

Convenience: The stool and armrest of shower room increase the convenience that the old person washes bath.

Security: The elderly often need handrails to help them stand and sit alternately when they take off their clothes, and also need handrails to help them when they walk in the bathroom.

Human Interest: The steps of the bath pool are conducive to bathing for the elderly, and the handrail reduces the risk of slipping.

Conclusion: Through the sloping roof structure, increasing handrails in line with the old people's use habits and designing steps in line with the old people's ergonomics, to reduce the risk of bathing for the old people, so that the old people get a better bathing experience.

Surreal school Freedom and Chains To some extent, the school is the place where we begin to realize that freedom and shackles, becomes the campus is often happened after graduation, Freud said dream is an important way to the subconscious, dreams about the school through the present period of the mood of some scenarios to reflect the life of the state, based on this cognition, The project hopes to translate dreams by transforming emotions into Spaces.

Research

Consciousness is like the ideal superego, often moral, sacred and beautiful.

Consciousness Pre-Consciousness

Dreams Reality

Dream

When the control of the individual is lax, such as in the hypnotic or dream state, the repressed subconscious mind will appear at the level of consciousness, so Freud believed that "the dream is the shortcut to the subconscious mind".

Symbolization

Displacement

Akira Kurosawa's film “Dreams” describes the major events he experienced or saw in his life and shows his thoughts on the world and life by presenting eight dreams as movie scenes.

Preconsciousness is like the self in reality, which is often relatively social, real and ordinary.

Subconscious

Freudian hierarchy theory is that human consciousness is like an iceberg floating on water, and the small part that can be seen is called consciousness; Most of it is hidden underwater, called the subconscious; And in between is pre-consciousness.

My Dreams

Film about Dreams

The subconscious, like the repressed id, is often emotional, impulsive and aggressive.

Condensation

Embellishment Freud believed that dreams were the fulfillment of wishes, filled with subconscious motives disguised in symbols.

There are four specific ways of camouflage: symbol, displacemengt, condensation and embellishment

Some of the more significant or powerful events that occur in reality

These events have an impact on the subconscious mind of the people involved.

And people often present the emotions inspired by these effects through dreams.

Many years after graduation, I still often dream about the school scene, such as the examination room when I am under great pressure, and the canteen when I am happy and satisfied.

Dormitory

Playground The playground often feels free, a time to let go of our shackles.

In the student dormitory, the curtain of the bed is like a language. When opened, you can usually see the classmates chatting, but most of the time it is closed, refusing to communicate in the repressive atmosphere.
