INTRODUCTION
Since the "Arab Spring" that broke out at the end of 2010, people have never stopped fleeing their homes... Refugees tried to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, towards the "new birth", and at the same time made the Mediterranean "the bloodiest" The sea area-a sea area where people will continue to face life-threatening choices. However, this unpredictable sea is not the biggest difficulty they face, that is, using the game of life, even if they successfully land ashore, it is difficult for refugees to survive on this continent. How can European countries accommodate this steady stream of refugees? The major refugee camps have already overcrowded. The shortage of resources, the spread of epidemics, the "gateway" to Europe is already a crisis everywhere. But even so, camps with poor conditions have more hope of survival for refugees than homes that have long since turned into dust. this design wants to create a new shelter by reusing of abandon cargo ship, so that this group of refugee can get a new life.

Refugees living in the 'cracks' The changes in European citizens'attitudes towards refugees creates challeges
FLEEING HOME, REFUGEES ARE BLOCKED AT THE BORDER
Rising anti-refuggee sentiment creates challeges
The Syrian civil war lasted for eight years, but the end has not yet been seen.
Refugees begging for the border soldiers to let go
The attitude of some countries towards refugees is changing. In recent years, refugees have been frequently blocked outside the borders, and they can only wander in the deserted Mediterranean.
kudish force syria goverment force so-called islamic state
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the offensive is to remove Kurdish-led forces from the border area and create a “safe zone” for Syrian refugees. Heavy clashes are underway in Syrian border villages between advancing Turkish forces and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) soldiers, an official in the Kurdish-led SDF said on Thursday. Shelling on Wednesday night targeted part of Chirkin prison in the city of Qamishli, a prison holding so-called Islamic State fighters of more than 60 nationalities. The Turkish operation carries potential risks for Turkey by getting even more deeply involved in the Syria war. It also could ignite new fighting in Syria’s eight-year-old war, potentially displacing hundreds of thousands. Complex political factions have led to continuous wars in Syria, and people have fled their hometowns
Refugees evicted from UNHCR sit in protest
The new country the refugees came to lacked proper resettlement and management, which led to constant conflicts between refugees and residents. Anti-refugee sentiment is rising. Due to the t war, most of the countries where the refugees are located have experienced economic and social problems. Both riots and extremist organizations are spreading wantonly in various countries, and their lives may be in danger at any time in their own countries. Therefore, refugees come to European countries by private boats through the Mediterranean, but the process is very difficult.

The undifferentiated introduction of refugees and inappropriate resettlement methods have led to an increase in refugee crime cases year by year. Therefore, citizens have developed a strong sense of resistance to refugees
SYRIA'S REFUGEE CRISIS BY THE NUMBERS The place Syrian refugees have fled to since 2011 More than nine years of war in syria have led to a large scale humanitarian crisis. More than 8.5 million people have been diaplaced internally and another 10.9million have fled the country. Countries in the region have taken in most of the refugees. providing them shelter in often overcrowed refugee camps As wars become more frequent, the number of refugees in syria has increased exponentially. The United Nations plans to uniformly manage the whereabouts of refugees, but there is no suitable place as a buffer zone. reason of shipreck overload passanger food shortage disease tsunami others
Since the Mediterranean is a public sea area, more and more refugees migratethrough this sea area. Due to the increase in refugees and limited ships, overloading and diseases have become the main causes of shipwrecks

02 REGRESSUS AD UTERUM POOL FOR MEDITATION indiviual work Site: Wulin moutain, China Time: Summer 2020 Instructor: Boyuan Jiang, Shuo Zhang
INTRODUCTION According to the ancient Chinese article "The Peach Blossom Spring", a fisherman in Wuling accidentally discovered a paradise in the mountains and spent a carefree time here. After a few months,The man found his boat and came back, marking with signs the route he had followed. He went to the magistrate’s office and told the magistrate about it. The latter sent someone to go with him and find the place. They looked for the signs but got lost and could never find it again. Liu Tsechi of Nanyang was a great idealist. He heard of this story, and planned to go and find it, but was taken ill and died before he could fulfill his wish. Since then, no one has gone in search of this place. This story is a metaphor for the author's desire to return to the mother's body. Under the pressure of life in the feudal era in China, many people hope to escape reality and live again to change their lives. This design comes from this story, hoping to provide a place of meditation for the frustrated

Tao Yuanming and The Peach Blossom Tao Yuanming (A.D.420-479) was a Chinese poet who spent much of his life in reclusion, living in the countryside, farming, reading, drinking wine, receiving the occasional guest, and writing poems. The Peach Blossom Spring was a fable written by Tao Yuanming ,which symbolizes the process of returning to the uterus (Regressus ad uterum), reflected the pleasures and difficulties of life, as well as his decision to withdraw from

Regressus ad uterum(returning to the matrix) is a Theory of Genitality ,Ferenczi suggested that the wish to return to the womb (Latin: regressus ad uterum)and the comfort of its amniotic fluids symbolizes a wish to return to the origin of life, the sea.This idea of an "uterine and thalassal regression"became a feature of the so-called Budapest School, up to the disciple Michael Balint and his 1937 paper on "Primary [Object-]Love", which reflected in The Peach Blossom Spring. The Peach Blossom in this fable symbolised the matrix.

03 SYMBIOSIS PLAZA Vegetable market/Dancing squre indiviual work Time: Summer 2020 Instructor: Boyuan Jiang
INTRODUCTION
Bibo Plaza is one of Shenzhen’s most popular squares among middle-aged and elderly people. At 6 o'clock every evening, many elderly people come back here to dance square dances with the leader on the square to relieve the pressure in life. But there is no nearby vegetable market. Old people usually need to take the subway early in the morning to go to other areas to buy food. The Shenzhen government decided to transform the square into a vegetable market for the convenience of these old people, but if this is the case, the old people should do it again at night. Where do you go to dance, chat, and walk? Can space and space coexist? So I came up with the idea of using installations to transform the space. Although Shenzhen will eventually demolish this plaza, I hope that in the near future, the city will no longer need to be demolished and built, but with the theme of symbiosis to adapt to the needs of different people.
KEY WORDS
Umbrella device; Symbiosis; Space conversion; Avoiding demolition and construction

By referring to the reverse folding umbrella, the transformation from umbrella to lamp during the day and night is realized, and the two needs of the same place at different times are realized.
PARTI-FORM STRATEGY The demands of the residents for this design have obvious time boundary. therefore, a deformable device can be used to complete different functions. To achieve the symbiosis of two conflicting functions

The radius of each parti is about 3m to ensure the smooth conversion of modes and the quantitative use of electrical energy. At the same time, the umbrella surface is equipped with solar panels, which can greatly reduce energy consumption.

04 STEP GROUND children's amusement park indiviual work Time: Summer 2020 Instructor: Boyuan Jiang
INTRODUCTION
When I was a child, I often chased and played in the corridors of the apartment with my friends, and now I often miss this time. Although climbing stairs is physically exhausting, it seems that the space between the stairs has lost its limits, which provide me an opportunity to rise and fall freely. In my project, I often abstract out my childhood wishes or fantasy. This design is to visualize my childhood love of stairs as a architecture design. After a series of experiments and reasoning, the concept is completed.
KEY WORDS step ground; Duplictae; Intergation: : Childhood partie

CHILD PLAY ON THE STAIR A long, long time ago, children started playing on the stairs. They ran up and down, but they didn’t feel tired at all. Even simple stairs can become a playground for children. hide and seek
listen stories
chase and run
Child hides behind the stairs. In the rules of the game, the player 'ghost' needs the remaining player. The intersected space is the most suitable place for this game

On step with long tread, children can sit down comfortably. Many children sit together and listen to fantasy stories.

The children run between the high and low stairs. They have infinite energy and enjoy the ever-changing scenery.

Through different cutting methods, we can obtain parti of different form logics. According to the possibility of space composition and the operability of the combination, four logics are selected for research.
PARTI STRATEGY step1: choose a form strategy Create step partie in four strategys, and choose one strategy and simulate it . axis cutting
diagonal cutting
multi-axis cutting
step crossing
step2: simulate the form strategy create nine different 6m*6m parties by simulating the muliti-axis cutting logic entrance
