I am a young architecture designer now applying for Architectural Design MArch, previously studied at Wuhan University, and now studying in University of Dundee for one-year exchange. I am very fortunate to be part of the Wuhan - Dundee exchange programme, allowing me to experience different cultures, work style, and design thoughts. During my undergraduate period, I participated in two internships, and actually participated in multiple projects during the internship, which changed the way I viewd at architecture.
In this portfolio, three projects are located in Wuhan, and the themes revolve around the local culture of Wuhan and the characteristics of urban streets. Because during the four years of undergraduate study in Wuhan, I have a deep and unique understanding of its local culture and the current situation of the city. Wuhan has its unique urban character, filling streets with the smell of grilled meats, makeshift lights and chatter, these small business owners activate our streets, provide culturally relevant foods that tourist flock to and create opportunities for a diverse group of people to interact with each other. I translated this feature into different building types and space types, so that it can be well adapted to the city of Wuhan.
