01 I CENOZOIC LANDSCAPE PARK

Spring 2022|Individual Work

The inability to travel during the pandemic has affected people of all ages to some extent. At the moment, city parks are the first choice. However, due to the common problem of single play function in many parks, people's enthusiasm to visit the park is not high. Therefore, the project aims to create a new generation of multifunctional parks to meet the needs of people to play.

I.SITE ANALYSIS

The project site is located at the confluence of Jiulong Lake and Niushoushan River. Through the investigation of the green open space around the site, it is found that these green Spaces have relatively single and boring functions. Through further investigation, it is found that many green Spaces in Nanjing have such problems.

II.DESIGN STRATEGIES

The main design intention of the scheme is to provide a comprehensive park with the functions of an urban landscape park and a natural ecological park. In this solution, I split the soft design into the hard design. The area with large flow of people in northwest China is planned as a hard design area. The southeast area is planned as a soft design area because of the favorable geographical conditions of lake. A major pedestrian promenade connects all the components, providing access to the public space and the community. Rigid

IV.MASTER PLAN

The overall topography of the site is not very undulating. The southwest part of the site is slightly higher than the northeast area.

The functional planning of the site from west to east is a process of transforming from a place for sports and activities to enjoying natural scenery

The red road connects the hard function zones. People of different ages can find their own suitable sports and activity space on this road. The yellow road is designed to allow people to fully experience nature. The pink road is an option for those who prefer pristine natural landscapes.

02 I NEW WAY OF LIFE

[A High Line park for the elderly in Shanghai]

Autumn 2021|Individual Work

The project is the renovation of an abandoned railway line in Caoyang New Village in Shanghai. Nowadays, the aging population in Shanghai is serious year by year. The infrastructure for the elderly has failed to keep pace, leaving many with poor living standards. The problem is particularly acute in Caoyang New Village. Therefore, I intend to transform the site into a High Line park that serves the core of senior citizens.

I.URBAN ANALYSIS

As one of the most economically developed cities in the world,the increasing population in the center of SHANGHAI has led to the aging of the surrounding areas.Among them,the elderly in Caoyang New Village account for 43% of the village.Aging is extremely serious and the elderly service in this area is underdeveloped,so that the living enviroment of the elderly is not good.

The Problem of SITE

During my visit to the site, I realized that the environment in the project area was too dirty for the healthy life of the elderly. For example, carelessly placed rubbish bins and garbage bags on the street are harmful to the environment.At the entrance of the project, many electric vehicles are parked unreasonably, which makes traffic congestion and makes it difficult for the elderly to get through.

03 I PILGRIMAGE

[A monumental building commemorating the development of Italian clothing]

Winter 2020|Individual Work

As one of the origins of art, Italy, the development of the Italian clothing industry from prosperity to decline gradually by France won the dominant position in clothing. It was not until after World War II that the Italian garment industry experienced a revival due to learning advanced clothing technology from the United States. The project commemorates the development of Italian clothing during this period by designing a multi-functional complex of clothing cultural centers.

I.SITE ANALYSIS

As a city that witnessed the development of modern Italy, Florence is also known as an important place for the development of Italy. chose the site on the south side of the Booli Garden as the design site.

II.CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Plane-generating graph

The four balls represent four important periods in the development of Italian clothing after World War II. The four balls converge inward according to the fluctuation of the terrain, and the different sizes of the spherical buildings are determined according to the different functions.

The concept was inspired by the kaftan of ancient Greece. A long piece of cloth wraps around the human body while the folds of the cloth reflect the human structure. I likened the four spherical buildings to human bodies and designed the roof part as a long cloth to wrap the buildings.

[A perfume shop on Piccadilly Circus]

Summer 2022|Individual Work

The project is being built in Piccadilly Circus in London. In the freelance design environment of London, found that the design of many perfume shops was very homogenous. Therefore, I designed a different perfume shop, through the design concept of perfume before, during and after, let customers feel the atmosphere of different times.

I.DESIGN STOPS THERE

Through the actual survey of perfume shops around the site, I found that the opening time of each perfume shop was different, but their interior design was similar. But during this period of time, home decoration interior design developed rapidly. So I decided to design a perfume shop that would break the rules.

The development of interior design in Britain

1980—1990 1990—2000 2000—2010 2010—2020 2020

People began to get tired of the excessive decorations. The interior design trend is turning low-key.

Home decoration trend with minimalism Personal expression redefines interior design. people More willing to use their own inspiration to decorate the house

The site is conveniently located at the intersection of five major avenues. The surrounding areas are mostly medium and high consumption places and the human flow is greater than the surrounding areas. Through field research, it is found that the number of female consumers is huge. So decided to design a perfume shop here.

III.CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

The front, middle and back tones of perfume

I especially like the front, middle and back notes of Chanel No. 5. Users experience different scents at different times. I get the idea. I want to design a perfume shop that would give people a different atmosphere.

Change of atmosphere

I studied the development of buildings around the site over the last 100 years. I found that with the development of The Times and the progress of science and technology, these buildings have not changed much but they give people different feelings in different periods. So decided to use stone as the base of the design
