‘Door to Grey Space’ ---- Reconstruction Design of the library of Yan’an Road Campus, Donghua University Location: Library, Yan’an Road Campus, Donghua University, Shanghai City Area: 6200M² This project is to reconstruct the library of Donghua University, aiming to provide a comfortable space for college students and change the current state of its low utilization. Everyone longs for reading and studying in nature with an appropriate temperature, so I attempt to break the boundary of indoor and outdoor spaces in my design. In some spaces, I create the illusion of the opposite of indoor and outdoor environments, and in other spaces, the outdoor is introduced into the room, forming a comfortable reading environment.
Experimental Model 1 It fuzzes up the internal and external space, forming an illusory outdoor space on the ground indoor, by inversely reflecting the sky to the ground.

Interactive ‘Communication Station’——Co-working Space for the Young
Unable to find a job
Interactive ‘Communication Station’
Painful Location: the Old Teachers’ Apartment, Yan’an Road Campus, Donghua University Area: about 800M² This co-working space is reconstructed from an old teacher's apartment on campus, which has almost been abandoned. Under the global entrepreneurial craze, most college graduates need a co-working space for their entrepreneurship, which integrates working and living, providing communication and development space in a low price. The concept of this project is to promote communication among people by increasing the time they spend with each other, and to stimulate more inspirations and motivations. I extracted four necessary types of public spaces and set them as four main exchange stations, in order to change people’s social space. It makes easier for people to know each other and receive information, and creates a friendly and harmonious office environment

‘A Trip of Discovery’—— Discovery and Learning Center for Children
‘A Trip of Discovery’
Location: Sanitation Station of Guyang Road Yaohong Road, Xuhui District,Shanghai City Area: about 760M² This is a discovery and learning center for children, reconstructed from a sanitation station. Many people may have asked this question when they were young: Why? Children's understanding and curiosity about the world are different from those of adults. Many adults' opinions may be inadequate for children. What we see is what we are most willing to understand and believe. The concept of this project is to let children explore freely and find their own answers. Five types of classrooms in STEAM education are set up in this space. Children could learn through free explorations, and improve their abilities of independent thinking and learning. It provides them with a colorful environment for thinking and growing.

The "Home" Accompanying Your Life
The "Home" Accompanying Your Life —— Modular Residential Design Location: No.428 Fengyang Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai This is a modular residential collection located in Shanghai. People have deep feelings for the old house, because in the old house, they can recall many beautiful pasts, and the familiar feeling of the old house can also give people a sense of security. However, in the continuous updating of cities, old houses are often faced with the dilemma of being demolished. Modular residential designs can continuously update the modules of old houses, inject fresh vitality into the building, and at the same time extend the life of the building, and can be dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere according to people's choice.
In recent years, China's economy has has accelerated, cities are undergoing h constantly being renovated and demolish is less than thirty years. This has caused constantly destroying people's impressio
The design is a general-sized building module that can be placed independently in the old community or combined into a collective community. When you need to move to another place for work, study or personal reasons, you just need to choose a suitable housing location, then disassemble and assemble it, and move your house to where you want to go. Compared with people in other countries in the world, Chinese people are more inclined to buy residential houses to live in. Even in China's first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the proportion of renting houses does not exceed 30%, so the ownership of houses is very important to Chinese people.
The user only needs to select the corresponding number of modules and online connectors, to purchase and assemble according to the required space function and size. All modules are set to 600mm * 600mm * 150 in size, and connector specifications are designed to be 600mm and 150mm. At the same time, the length and width of the furniture is also designed to 600 mm and its multiples.
The "Home" Accompanying Your Life
developed rapidly, the process of urbanization huge changes every year, and buildings are also hed and rebuilt. The average life span of buildings d great waste of resources. At the same time, it is on and emotion of "home".
The "Home" Accompanying Your Life
Considering the convenient lifestyle, all the required housing modules can be purchased from APP, which can provide users with door-to-door service, and can choose modules and furniture and continuously update the configuration of modules. At the same time, we can also buy daily necessities and clothes, etc.,and use drones to transport them from the nearby distribution center. The outer side of the furniture is provided with an external opening for docking with the drones.
Residential space can be assembled by and equipment control.
itself through assembly
According to the envisaged module, try various spatial combinations.The xperiencers will create more possibilities. Everyone can customize their own living space.
The "Home" Accompanying Your Life
Vertical units of different sizes are prebuilt in the community. People can choose the desired location and area to build the building platform and freely combine the living space on the platform.
