WALK ON W A T E R Harvard Graduate School of Design Design Discovery Instructor: Estello Cistre Raganit Site: John F Kennedy Memorial park Individual work

Charles river is the sole of cambridge. During my study in Harvard University, I live next to it. Every morning, people go jogging or canoeing by the river. It will be thrilling to get by water and play with it. However, the high way next to it shut down its openness. Instead of bring people to the river, I proposed bringing water sequence to people. When traveling or shopping along the street, the streetscape will provide a sense of river and

ONE POEM IN BEIJING Tsinghua 2017 Autumn Optional Studio: City, Architecture and landscape—— rethinking in the Media Era Instructor: Rong Zhou Site: Beijing, China Individual work

"This is the city of Zobeid, where people settle down and look forward to a night of dream reappearance. However, no one saw the woman again, either in their dreams or in their waking hours. The streets in the city are their way to work, and they have nothing to do with the chase in the dream. Even the dreams have been forgotten." We often feel the boringness of modern cities. People are not willing to stay on the streets, and the landscape has not been well designed or used. This is especially true in a city like Beijing, a city controlled by the grand narrative of politics. This design attempts to provide a solution by writing poetries, resembling the dreaming process in the city of Zobeid. Through the collage of verses, materials are provided. A long-axis landscape plan is formed from the perspective of what people see. This strange landscape is a stimulus to people's feelings in response to the catering and change that architecture should make in the media age. Not to make big planning and design from the general map level, but to put more effort to the construction of the scene.


Cuting the poem into pieces and reconstructing it by picturing the scene in mind, Tentions and relationships between words will interact.

1. Sign, Signifer and Signified Language is a symbolic system, a substitute for real objects.The meaning of the symbol does not depend on the symbol itself, but on the system in which it resides. Literature is meaningless and meaning is constructed.

2."segment relationship" and "association relationship". Saussure pointed out that the relationship in language has two categories: "segment relationship" and "association relationship". A segment relationship refers to a horizontal combination of languages. The association relationship is generated by the psychological association, and the vertical and horizontal aggregation of the words. The two types of relationships revealed by Saussure represent the two axes of vertical and horizontal, which become the coordinates of each language unit in the system.

Poems And Images Use the reformed poem to project image that conveys atmosphere, trying to figure out the matephor of the signifier.

Metropolis Wang Wei, a representative figure of "There are paintings in poetry and poems in paintings" thoery. He is good at omitting the secondary parts, grasping the main features, capturing the most distinctive features, and taking the most fascinating moment with outstanding performance. The artistic conception of poetry is to be realized through language. All images are also expressions of language. Our understanding of the imagery in poetry is done on the basis of reality and through our own mind. Using the means of association imagination, a picture is formed in one's own mind according to the description of poetry to deepen our understanding of poetry.

What's more, with the existence of poetry, and according to the content of poetry, it is not simply to depict the poem, but to incorporate the artist's emotions and artistic re-creation. That is to say, poetry blends the meaning of painting, and the infection of poetry deepens the feeling of painting.

The toe of a small mushroom holds the broken wall. Old husband and young wife make people sad.

MAGNIFIER OF ABSURDNESS ----People's view and poem what problems exist in the current expression of the urban public space? What theory can be referenced on the narrative and city design both from home and abroad? How to create a narrative urban public space? What should be paid attention to when the narrative expression leads to enchantment and vulgar charm?

Grandiose One-sided pursuit of a patterned surface, lack of human scale, it is difficult to establish a vivid sense of place.

Meaningless Excessive pursuit of simple form so that meaningless, releasing symbols and arranging plots

Discontinuity of the building interface Emptiness lack of facilities, lost memory and culture, emotional imbalance

Sameness The affection of order finally lead to the boring sameness in the open space.

Typical approach fill the gap

More ridiculous practice - zoom in

Grandpa The mailbox loves smoking cigerrate.

An image schema is a recurring structure within our cognitive processes which establishes patterns of understanding and reasoning. Image schemas are formed from our bodily interactions,from linguistic experience, and from historical context. An image schema is a mental pattern that recurrently provides structured understanding of various experiences, and is available for use in metaphor as a source domain to provide an understanding of yet other experiences. In contemporary cognitive linguistics, an image schema is considered an embodied prelinguistic structure of experience that motivates conceptual metaphor mappings. Evidence for image schemas (also called image schemata) is drawn from a number of related disciplines, including work on cross-modal cognition in psychology, from spatial cognition in both linguistics and psychology, cognitive linguistics, and from neuroscience.

Moving Line Organization

Due to the limitations of the site, it is easy to form a connection between the scenes in the long direction. But the face of the building is in a short direction, so it needs to be combed in a short direction to make the streamline richer. When people move from one point to another, there are more possibilities.

Relationship Between Scenes


Scatter perspective I tend to the perspective of the chinese painting to express the hole scene of three thousand kilometers.The perspective of Chinese painting is different. The artist's observation point is not fixed in one place, nor is it restricted by the defined field of view. Instead, it is based on the need to move the foothold to observe what is seen in different footholds. Can be organized into their own pictures. This perspective method, called "scattering perspective", is also called "moving viewpoint." Chinese landscape paintings can express the vast realm of “thousands of miles” and it is the result of applying this unique perspective. Therefore, only by adopting the principle of "scattering perspective" of Chinese painting, artists can create long scrolls of tens of meters and more than 100 meters (such as the Qingming Shanghe map) and cannot be achieved by using the "focus perspective method" in Western painting.


NEO-OPAQUE M U S H R O O M M A N N H E I M

Tsinghua 2017 Parameterized summer workshop——Opaque Architecture Instructor: Jesse Reiser + Nanako Umemoto (Architect, Reiser + Umemoto, RUR Architecture, D.P.C.) Site: Mannheim, Germany Group work Team: Tianyi Xie, Shuchen Dong, Yuhao Guan Role in Team: Typological Research, Conceptual Design, Physical Model, Technical Drawings and Architectural Representation

Modernism claims to be “Less is more”, and more layers can be seen from the transparent interface to the building. This so-called ambiguity is a paradox. Because of the desire for purity and clarity, the spatial interface is precisely defined, and unrelated people are forced to stay away from the building. Transparent surfaces allow full visual connection while creating physical separation. Translucent surfaces create partial visual separation with either full or partial physical separation. A frosted or sand-blasted glass wall allows light and some visual clues to communicate while preventing physical connection. A mesh or other type of screen allows slightly more visual information while allow facilitating sound and air movement. This design attempts to resist this so-called ambiguity, using opaque media to break the original interface. Opaque buildings were once thought to be avoided because the opaque interface completely separates the sides, creating physical and visual isolation. Is there a new possibility that makes both physics and sight open to people in specific situations? As a solution, new opaque and inaccurate external interfaces mean more possibilities for space. In this design, choose mushrooms as materials and translate them with gypsum. Understand the structural characteristics of the mushrooms and create a unique theater space in the experiment.

The arrangement of mushrooms

The shape of the mushroom itself is not perfect, and the certainty of its shape can make the space formed difficult or unattractive. So the second level, flowing concrete, is needed to help us form the space we need. Place the mushrooms in the model box of the Mannheim Theatre and arrange them according to the rules. Pour the concrete up to form a thin shell, some of which will penetrate into the cracks of the mushroom and flow to the ground to form a column. After the concrete has solidified, carefully remove the mushrooms from the concrete shell with tweezers. The structural properties of the mushroom itself can be compared to the template and the column supporting the template. After the mushrooms are removed, the concrete shell can be self-supporting.We did three experiments to figure out what kind of space a mushroom can form. Finally we found the balance point of positive and negative space.

Put the result under the 3D scanning machine, and we get the result

Three control points that determine the shape of the final theater: 1. Distribution of mushrooms in different forms 2. The degree of viscosity of concrete, the ratio of water to powder 3. The rate at which concrete is poured


-REMAINING OF TEXTUREThe texture of the opposite side of the mushroom can be preserved by the translation of the concrete. The positive and negative spaces and the shell will reflect the original characteristics of the mushroom, and the other side of the mushroom can be seen at the entrance, which is the unique charm of this theater.From the moment people enters from the entrence, they will be impressed by the divine nature of the mushroom.

-FACIAL DIVINITYThe array of mushrooms is lined up, leaving caves that form a colonnade-like void that gives the facade a classical sense.These voids can be used as an entrance or as an exhibition venue for statues or repertoires. This open interface offers many possibilities.

-POROSITYThe porosity of the building provides a more open public space for the street.Unlike the exquisiteness of modernism, this rough texture is more temperature-sensitive. The final building is able to create a certain similarity with the European street façade and blend together on the human point of view.


T R E E H O U S E F O R CAMP SITE Summer 2018 Charity Project Instructor: Jason Tang Site: Dayu Mountain, Hong Kong Group work Team: Tianyi Xie, Bingyu Cheng, Qi Hao Role in Team: Site Analysis, Conceptual Design, Construction, Technical Drawings and Architectural Representation During the internship at Hong Kong Aedas Architects, I was fortunate to participate in the construction of summer campsite of the Hong Kong Charity School, which was funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Funding. It was the last year of this camp, together with the recent death of the principal’s wife, we decided to make a concept of infinite. Time was limited as it has to be built in four days. So we choose bamboo for it can be built in a rapid pace and stands relatively long without stain. We completed the design and accompanied the workers through the whole process of construction, and witness the entire life cycle of that building. The essence of the building in the ground is that the architect is present, combined with the fine and efficient labor of the workers. However, There will always be unknowns. If we don't act as supervisor, or merely give the drawings to them, the final result may not be as good as it should be. The saddest thing is that a group of people don't understand the ideas of another, so that hard work and effort are wasted. Thanks again for this experience, let me know about the essence of nature and understand another group of people who make architecture by hand.

The students are about 10-12 years old. They are in a summer school with a completely different course from school education, including many practical classes, tea classes, electronic classes, and architectural classes to help them understand and expand their own interest. The children live together and help each other, and they also need to play in the afternoon break. During the class, the teacher will also choose other venues outside the classroom to match his teaching content.

-INFINITE CONCEPT-

-MATERIAL-BAMBOO-

-RESPONSE TO THE TREE-

-RECORD ON SITE-

There are three days of construction time. Five workers work every day and work eight hours a day. They have skilled work experience and a clear division of labor. Some people take the skeleton, some people lay the floor, when they go into the air, they will also improve the work efficiency by leaving a worker to cut bamboo on the ground.

Using eternity as a concept, the first is to hope that children can feel the existence of this definition of infinity. The second is to commemorate the final year of the summer school, I hope his influence can continue to spread. The third is to commemorate the principle's wife who has just passed away. The Mobius ring is a frequently used construction technique, but we hope that this building will not only be used in a cliché, but also in connection with the venue and meaning.

-CONCEPTUAL SKETCH-

Bamboo is often used as a building material in southern China. As a scaffold, it can be quickly built or removed. Each worker can build a tenstorey bamboo building every day. Bamboo is hard and flexible, making it an ideal building material.

The entrance to the building is between the two trees, rising from the ground and gradually rising, passing through the middle of the tree rafts in the air, then gradually descending, and finally the exit and entrance merge. The building and the tree are tightly connected, but it does not cause too much pressure to affect the growth of the tree.

In order to save time and control errors, we use modulus in the construction to help the workers locate the bamboo.

Day 1

Use the thickest bamboo to take the skeleton and stretch from the ground to the air.

Day 2

When the basic height is set, the workers begin to determine the handrails and railings.

The workers began to divide their work, and the building was shaped at the top of the head.

Day 3

The building passes through the middle of the tree and begins to enter the symmetrical half.

The last day was very stressful because it was time consuming to lay the floor and handrails.

Children React To The Tree House

In this space that symbolizes infinity Can sit and lie down Can rest, can read Can be dazed, can meditate Can talk to classmates Can talk to the group members Can go to class with the teacher Can see aunt’s kitchen Can watch the sun, watch the moon, watch the stars Can listen to the worm, listen to the island, listen to the bay Can be accompanied in the morning Can be friends with mosquitoes Stay in it, you can forget worries Walk on it, you can be happy ——By students


Coexist With Nature The architecture is grinded. It is the solution to the small problems altogether shapes the final appearance of the building. The weather is too hot to endure, but the companionship has enriched my understanding of building constructed by human hands. When designing, the detailed information of the trees were not enough for us to pay attention to the dignity of the tree. However, in the construction process of the earth, the masters need to borrow from the tree to accurately pass a piece of construction from the middle of the trunk and cut the branches at the place where the branches are inserted. This represents the humility of the building. If it is not on site, it will not notice that the tree we chose is a longan tree, which need to spread the seeds through the gaps in the building.
