PROLOGUE I believe genuine architecture should be a sensitive envelope that has a corresponding special physical relationship with life, forming a emotional container. There is a scene that always echoes in my mind. It was the rainy season in my hometown, raindrops fell down along the wall, leaving traces on the old mottled red bricks, the water penetration over the years gradually imprinted a dynamic pattern on the facade, which inspires me of how organic and vigorous a building could be. As the notes can be played to convey feelings, architecture should be a whole integrating all the tectonic symbols and elements that can vibrate with the life going around it. As Peter Zumthor wrote: there are many symbols and information in the world, but the real essence is hidden. Architectural forms act like dull and sluggish containers with a lack of musical beauty, which from my point of view causes the disharmony and fragmentation of the current architecture. Instead of being presented as broken rhythms, discrete parts should be composed together with a concern with emotion and site personalities. In my projects, I try to define my buildings as emotional containers. They are designed considering publicity, politics, social factors, urban context, cultural factors and technology. Emotions are expressed in the architectural space , making people to resonate, communicate and experience, composing a lyrical and dynamic story.

Increasing awareness of heritage (particularly architectural heritage), an open debate about production and creativity, and a necessary vital urban regeneration are three of the most important and recurrent topics that frame current architectural and urban reflection in China. In the perspective of fashion, fashion had been a principal means for identifying oneself. However, the current fashion has a fake diversity and universality. A group of minority people are excluded by fashion due to physical disabilities, losing the right to express oneself. This project aims to link previous questions, designing a fashion hub for the public at a industrial heritage site, arounsing the attention of the society to the minority people and realizing urban regeneration.

INTRODUCTION: FASHION FOR MINORITY PEOPLE Sociologist Louis Wirth defined a minority group as "a group of people who, becaused of their physical or cultural characteristics, are singled out from the others in the society in which they live for differential and unequal treatment." Fashion, as a carrier of self-expression, should be diversified and universal. However, the current fashion has a fake diversity and universality. Due to the limited conditions, a large group of minority people are excluded by fashion, thus losing the possibilities of self-expression as well as social contact.

The site is located in a Power Plant Station. The reason why the project address is chosen here is that firstly, Shanghai is becoming a fashion reference center with a high fashion crowd.

Secondly, the site is in an abandoned factory, which is in the state of being forgotten and unused. The project hopes to put the heritage into reuse by appealing for the attention of minority groups. The reuse of industrial sites also symbolizes the return of minorities to society. SITE MAP

AXONOMETRIC DRAWING

Description In the first silo, different show rooms have different shapes, materials and openings. Minority groups can find their way of self-expression in these diversified spaces. In the second silo, the audience sits on the circular platform in the center, surrounded by 360 ° circular showing space, so that the audience can pay attention to each model‘s performance. In the third silo, in order to cancel the space relationship in which the model was centrally focused in the traditional show-way, which led to the emphasis on the standard body figure, the identity of the performer and the audience was deliberately blurred. Windows of different sizes frame people passing by to form a temporary performance space. The continuous penetration of vision in it weakens the social relationship of the pursuit of standardization.

District: Shanghai, China

With the rapid development of Shanghai, more and more high-density modern buildings are constructed, encroaching on the city's public space constantly. At the same time, there is a certain gap between the old traditional architectural forms and new buildings. The project is located in Jiangning District of Shanghai. The block where the project is located is between the Shikumen Block and the modern architecture. How to coordinate and balance the contrast between the new and old buildings while creating a rich and enlarged public space is the focus of the project. This project attempts to realize the interaction of different activities, sounds and sight through a spiraling public space path. Meanwhile, in the process of moving, views constantly shift between new and old buildings, which brings a communication between past and present.

03 After Fire: Water Basins Fire Prevention Strategy Urban Planning

2020-2021 Academic Year in the University of California, Los Angeles Cooperative Academic Work with Deshun Liu Role in Team: Research (50%), Technical Drawing (90%) Instructor: Jeffery Inaba & David Jiménez Iniesta Mailing Address: inaba@ucla.edu & david.jimenez@aud.ucla.edu District: Los Angeles，the United States

By studying the relationship between fire and debris flow, this project developed a new fire prevention system - water basins in San Gabriel Mountain. Through the research, it is found that soil and vegetations are the two factors affecting fire and landslide. Fire can lead to poor soil and plant characteristics, such as low soil moisture, weak ecosystem and less heterogenity, which in turn can lead to fire and debris flow. The existence of the reservoirs and irrigation systems could increase the soil moisture. Also, through the new vegetation system, it can increase the heterogenity and bio-diversity of plants to reduce the fire and debris flow. This project is going to develop a new water basin system: reservoirs, irrigation systems, and new plant distributions to improve soil and plant characteristic.

In order to carry out the fire prevention strategy better, the master plan would consider landscape heterogenity, slope level, landslide risk to determine the distribution density of new water basins system. Areas with low density, steep slope and high landslide risk would have high density water basins distribution.

This project uses the method of controversy mapping to study the complexity of fire and propose new fire prevention strategy. This project has studied prescribed burn as a fire prevention strategy. Using public opinions to evaluate different ways of prescribed burns, and through collecting voices from different medias, we analyzed the controversy in these debates. In addition, studying the advantages and disadvantages of prescribed burn, as well as the plant characteristics of a certain area of Santa Monica mountain, we have developed our new proposal: to enhance forest fire protection ability by regularly burning the boundary of oak and shrub.

The flexible glass rotation blurs our vision but exciting!

Suzhou is a famous water town in the south of the Yangtze River in China. The project is located in Shantang street, a traditional street in Suzhou. In the middle of two streets is Shantang river. The streets on both sides of the river bank are connected by stone bridges.

This open gap space creates a traditional garden experience !

I could see through several layers of space!

The first site context considered in the project is the pitched roof. In the original site, the surrounding buildings are mostly pitched roofs, and the plan configuration on the site is fragmented and incomplete. The project attempts to extract the prototype of the sloping roof, and create a continuous and unified public space through the continuous sloping roof. The functions on both sides of the river bank are tourist center and community cultural center of local residents. They are unified by continuous forms of roof on both sides of the river bank. The second context considered in this project is the traditional Suzhou Garden. The traditional Suzhou garden has a space relationship of changing scenaries step by step. Viewsights either penetrate or being blocked, forming an ambiguous spatial relationship. The project borrows the concept of traditional Suzhou garden, trying to create a in-between space relationship and vertical partition in the linear space to achieve abundant sight penetration relationship.

06 [Sihe Courtyard Kindergarten] KINDERGARTEN DESIGN 2016-2017 Academic Year Individual Academic Work Instructor: Bert Hugo Raf De Muynck Mailing Address: Bert.deMuynck@xjtlu.edu.cn District: Beijing, China

There used to be an old saying in Beijing that "roof has a magic to attract children to climb up and uncover tiles". With the modern and convenient life, children's activities are more related to high technology, losing many opportunities to grow in a cultural context. The renovation project is located in a traditional Sihe courtyard in Beijing. The strategy is to add a new organic roof platform to the original Sihe courtyard. The undulating roof platform creates a free space for the children to run and play. At the same time, the rolling hillside, net bed and cave provide children with various activities. Below the large roof, the courtyard is the centeral part, around which children have classes, performances and playing activities. On the scale of the city, the extended wooden structure of the roof platform encloses a covered resting area for the surrounding residents, adding new vitality into the surrounding living environment.

1 1 DESIGN T h e f i rs t p a r t o f t h e p a v i l i o n construction is to design chairs of different heights according to the sitting scale of adults and children.

1 2 FOUNDATION After completing the basic seat, in order to strengthen the chair, the design team used the multi empty steel plate and painted it, and added it around the chair as the chair back.

1 3 COLUMN After completing the basic chair design, each group has designed a column support to support the bamboo ceiling on the top. The construction process is made by welding the reinforcement column and painting with black and yellow.

Description: During the workshop, team members designed and constructed a resting area for the students and tutors. Following the goal to reduce footprint, we explored new design approaches by using new and re-used materials. In this project, the team used different craftsman techniques, materials, and joints to analyze the structure and construct. The pavilion is composed of eight parts, which are combined together to provide teachers and students in the design building with space for rest, class, chat and party.

1 4 BEAM & CONNECTION After the column is installed, wooden beams are built on the top and connected with the column below through 3D printing nodes

1 5 ROOF PANEL The last part of the construction is to weave bamboo strips with wire to form pieces of panel and cover it on the beam.
