PROLOGUE Is design a borderless expression of language? After modern society has satisfied people's basic needs, design has increasingly begun to explore new fields and forms, conveying the new spiritual core that designers want to express. This is mixed with the connection between people and the city, and designers often need to propose social programs. There is also the conflict between man and nature, and the need to plan beautiful visions that resonate with flora and fauna. In addition, the sense of belonging to people and history, channeling and reconstructing the antiquities of the last century is also a fascinating topic. On a larger scale, the relationship between man and the world in the context of the Anthropocene has prompted design to become a kind of fusion agent behind the scenes, allowing everyone to find their own niche.

Re-establish Seagull Habitat Re-governance of Wujiadu Wetland Park and Bird Habitat Restoration Strategies Advisor: Xinwei He Advisor E-mail: xinwei.he.20@alumni.ucl.ac.uk Individual work: Jinguo Huang Classification: Landscape Research Project Area: 45hectares Location: Kunming, China Time: 2023.6-9

STATEMENT: The Wujiadu Wetland Ecological Park is located above the Dianchi Pond in Kunming, which used to be a sewage discharge point and a necessary place for seagulls to migrate and survive, but after the government’s first treatment, the environmental improvement effect was very little. This project aims to explore the survival habits and migration paths of seagulls, and incorporate some of the local ecological environment and native plants of Kunming Dianchi to create a bird ecological park that is suitable for both tourists and seagulls, and to protect the local ecological diversity of Kunming.

Commemorate Atomic Bomb Honouring the memory of human beings and the environment injured by the atomic bomb in the context of the Anthropocene Advisor: Yuelai Liu Advisor E-mail: liuyuelai@tongji.edu.cn Individual work: Jinguo Huang Classification: Urban Design Project Area: 52hectares Location: New Mexico, USA Time: 2023.8-11

STATEMENT: Back in World War II, Oppenheimer joined with many scientists to build the first atomic bomb in the history of mankind and it was used to drop it on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in an attempt to end the war. The human casualties caused by the atomic bombs are left for future generations to comment on, but the craters made by the atomic bombs on the earth, the only home of mankind, have left their mark forever. This project aims to temporally and spatially combine Trinity’s nuclear test site and Nevada’s nuclear test site locations to project spatial patterns that reflect the nonnuclear era to the nuclear era to the era of nuclear deterrence, increasing reflection on the consequences of the atomic bomb.

Incision Removing excess impurities, like picking up relics from the rubble of an explosion, leaves the final and most central space of the site.

Carving Utilizing the junction of straight lines and circles, constant cuts and tradeoffs, and drawing on myths and legends to reference the apocalyptic wasteland style of design.

SITE DESIGN STRATEGY

PILLAR OF SALT

The overall design of the site is based on the Nevada atomic bomb blast site, projected to the Trinity nuclear test site, overlapping the two nuclear test sites in time and space.

And on this basis, seven important nodes are established, with the seven deadly sins as the emotional axis linking the whole site, trying to restore the trauma to the human world and the damage to the earth behind the nuclear bomb explosion.

19:23 The sun was up when Lot came to Zoar.

19:24 Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.

19:25 And he sent destruction on those towns, with all the lowland and all the people of those towns and every green thing in the land.

19:26 But Lot's wife, looking back, became a pillar of salt.

At 9:16:02, the bomb exploded 600 meters above the ground. In an instant, a huge mushroomshaped cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the city, followed by hundreds of pillars of fire, immediately reducing Hiroshima to a sea of scorching heat.

The winds created by the shockwave destroyed all the buildings. People and objects under the influence of the center-of-explosion pole fell apart like the separation of atoms.

Linking the Mountainous City Research and design of using genetic algorithm for solving the problem of high altitude drop in Chongqing mountain city Advisor: Jie Shen Advisor E-mail: jieshen@tongji.edu.cn Group work: Jinguo Huang (60%), Keke Liu (25%), Yifan Guo(15%) Classification: Large-scale Urban Research Project Area: 81hectares Location: Chongqing, China Time: 2022.7-11

STATEMENT: The inland Chinese city of Chongqing is known for its mountainous terrain and large drop-offs, the so-called Mountain City. However this has caused a lot of inconvenience to the people living there. Therefore, the aim of this project is to use genetic algorithms to select three locations that urgently need to solve the problem of height difference, and to construct different forms of urban platforms or hubs to increase accessibility and community cohesion, so as to provide an urban design example for other cities with large height differences.

STREAMLINE PLANNING AND SELECTED POINT BUILDING Initial screening based on the Genetic Algorithms can yield 25 points with large height differences that require the construction of three-dimensional platforms to improve community conditions. On top of these 25 locations, three different important locations are further screened according to the humanistic elements such as human flow and community, and three kinds of demonstration platforms are built.

The Second Point

COMMUNITY BUILDING SKYWALK In Chongqing, there are problems of inconvenient access between high-rise buildings, weak neighborhoods, and little community communication, so the construction of sky corridors to open up community bridges and promote communication between people.

GENTLY SLOPING PUBLIC SQUARES The most famous traffic phenomenon in Chongqing is that the destination is zero horizontal distance from you but tens of meters of vertical distance and difficult to reach, thus the need for a gently sloping square that solves the elevation problem.

Filtered Points Critical Points

The First Point

CHANNELS FOR TALL BUILDINGS Due to Chongqing's elevated terrain, towering buildings are also very common. The top floors of such buildings are also difficult to reach because of their height, and it is necessary to build internal passageways to get up and down from the building.

The Third Point

I

According to the Genetic Algorithm, the three points that need to be modified and designed are combined with SubD Tools for spatial shaping to create a spatial structure that is convenient for platforms with different height differences above and below to pass through.

Utilizing this way to bridge different buildings not only solves accessibility issues, but also increases circulation and communication between communities.

The Resurrection Castle A Spatial Translation of the Planar Texture of Ancient Architecture and the Urban Texture of Manhattan in an Organic Way Advisor: Nathan Hume Advisor E-mail: hume@design.upenn.edu Individual work: Jinguo Huang Classification: Short-scale Urban Design Project Area: 0.3hectares Location: New York, USA Time: 2022.10-12

STATEMENT: In the history of design development, people always keep moving forward to extrapolate. However, tracing back the drawings of historical design, the graphic design of the old castle is still so attractive. The aim of this project is to extract elements from the old building, do some modern design treatment, projected into the urban texture, so that the modern design is full of the flavor of the old castle, and make the old building in the new city to rejuvenate the charm.
