01 Factory Reconstruction Location / Guangzhou, China Tutor / Lecturer Song Ying, Tom. Sun Personal Work / Acedemic Duration / November, 2021 to December, 2021
The vitality of architecture lies in people, their existence and their activities. There is a flour mill built in the 1960s, but its glory has long been forgotten by most people. This project tries to make it a gathering place for the surrounding residents and even tourists, not only to let them feel the prosperity of the factory in the past, but also to provide public space for the community residents. At the same time, it is also exploring a future path to deal with abandoned industrial buildings.
The original state of the building
Transformation method Bird View The factory was built in 1960 and is located on the banks of the Zhujiang River, with Huangpu Port in the east and Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway in the north.
Transport Corridor
In order to preserve the historical features of the factory, most of the exterior of the factory building is preserved. What's more, the renovation part is mainly indoors. There are three main methods of factory transformation: 1.Insert Floorslab
The corridor is right next to the river and is used to transport wheat from the wharf to the factory for processing.
Exhibition Hall
The Top Floor of silos North-South span is up to 8 meters.
Riverside Corridor 2.Add Masses Silos
The Bottom Of Silos There is a corridor at the bottom of the silo, although it is not wide, there are numerous and regularly distributed concrete columns. When the weather is fine, the light and shadow effect in the corridor is very unique.

Concept This piece of land is very important: There is Yuanyuan Village, an old residential area in the north, the Pearl River in the south, and a riverside green park extending from east to west. The environment is very beautiful and the scenery is wonderful. However, the factory has been abandoned here for many years, so there are few people in this area. Although this flour mill has been abandoned , boats come and go up the Zhujiang River every day, and there are landmarks like the Guangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center on the other side.
Rooftop Theatre
Catering Area
The key to updating this area is to increase the number of tourists (or surrounding residents). For these reasons, I plan to add leisure, entertainment, exhibition, community activities and other functions to the factory to attract the tourists and surrounding residents and give new life to this forgotten plot. 04

02 High-rise Building Design The project is located in Bayi Road, Changsha City, Hunan Province, surrounded by residential areas, commercial spaces and a memorial park. This area developed rapidly in the 1990s and 2000s, but was left behind in the 2010s, the most rapid development period in China. I hope that by building a high-rise residential building on this plot, it will become a major activity point for local residents and even attract tourists from many other regions, thereby awakening the vitality of the plot.
Location / Changsha, China Tutor / Prof. Li Weidong Personal Work / Acedemic Duration / November, 2019 to January, 2020
In the previous investigation, I found that the surrounding residential space, green space and public activity space are separated from each other. For example, there is very little greening in residential areas. I hope to show a possibility of integrating the three into one in this limited piece of land. Therefore, I mainly set up three functions in the building: residence, public activities and green space. They are not stacked horizontally like traditional communities, but combined with each other in the vertical direction. This allows the residents not only to enjoy the public space and green space on the lower floors of the building, but also to enjoy these on almost every floor.

Where do people go when the population of the community is growing? When the buildings are getting denser and denser, where are the venues for people's activities? This is a problem that people have to face with the development of urbanization. One can certainly expand the city outwards to form new urban districts; but this project gives people another solution: to develop the community in a vertical direction in a way. I set up many kinds of public activity spaces in the building: greening modules, small libraries, badminton courts, basketball courts, viewing platforms, and many public spaces with unrestricted functions. This is to provide enough space for activities in the building and surrounding residents. I really hope that as people gather here, the vitality of the area will gradually be awakened.

03 Theater Design
Location / Changsha, China Tutor / Prof. Li Weidong Personal Work / Acedemic Duration / September, 2019 to October, 2019
The project is located in Chaozong Street Community, Changsha City. This is an ancient community in Changsha, but it is surrounded by the Xincheng District, which makes it look extraordinarily lonely in this area. The old city is the history of a city. Therefore, I hope to establish a connection between the old city and the new city without destroying its appearance as much as possible. I think the best way is to establish connections with crowd activities. I hope that people in the new city can enter this old city and feel its history; I also hope that this history can be spread outward in a way. So I decided to design a theater on this plot. It can not only spread the history and culture of the old city to the audience, but also serve as a public venue for the residents of inside and outside to communicate with each other, so as to integrate the old city and the new city.

04 Urban Design With the development of modern technology and the progress of society, transportation has become faster and more convenient. We believe that in the future, buildings and functions will be like plug-ins, becoming nodes of a large transportation network. The node and the network are complementary and unknown. We want to provide a development basis for this brand-new plot by establishing new traffic operation rules, and leave it with the possibility of realizing arbitrary urban functions.
Location / Yangliuqing Town, Tianjin, China Tutor / Prof. Li Weidong & Prof. Hu Hua Personal Work / Acedemic Duration / April, 2020 to June, 2020
When investigating the site and people’s living conditions nowadays, we found that most people use public space at the ground level. Although people have begun to pay attention to the importance of underground space, There are few better ways to use the vast heights. In our design, we tried to explore the public space in the vertical direction, and from this as a starting point, we finally formed a three-dimensional transportation network. This network connects not only the public space, but also every three-dimensional coordinate of the entire site. We hope that this kind of thinking will bring more possibilities to future architectural development.
Concept Diagram 1

Axonometric Drawing We place this 400m×400m plot at a 'crossroad'.
To modify the surrounding roads and introduce them into the plot to form a crossshaped foundation frame for the transportation hub. At the same time, the internal functions of the site are determined: the two plots in the south are agricultural and park cultural land, and the north two are commercial and residential land.
3
It is difficult for plane traffic to carr y many functions, and it is difficult to meet the traffic demand in the vertical direction. Therefore, the number of layers in the cross-shaped traffic hub is increased vertically upwards and downwards.
4
In order to further meet the vertical traffic needs in the four 200m×200m plots, dozens of vertical traffic columns are set up inside the plots, and people can quickly reach the air and underground f ro m t he c o l u m n s . The s e columns will be connected to the transpor tation hub underground.

The Change Of Transportation in Tianjin Before 1960s

Transportation
1980s Before the 1960s, people in Tianjin basically only relied on bicycles and walking. As a result, there are few major roads in the community, and the main roads are basically alleys.
Now I n t he 198 0 s , w i t h t he development of society, more and more people used cars, but the development of the transportation system could not keep up quickly. Although the road on which motor vehicles drive has gradually become wider, the phenomenon of mixed traffic between people and vehicles has continued for decades.
Future Today, the transportation system has become more complete: the roads have become smooth and wide, the sidewalks have become beautiful and comfortable, and the separation of sidewalks and roadways has long been achieved. Yet we are always looking for better and safer ways to travel. Every year traffic accidents claim tens of millions of lives, which is distressing. The project explores a road of urban construction based on the transportation network, trying to meet people's travel needs through a three-dimensional transportation network, so as to achieve the result of complete separation of people and vehicles, and convenient and fast travel.

Water Resources Planning

Modules In Residential Units As the population of the region increases, so does the demand for living space. Compared with the old method of rebuilding residential buildings on the surrounding plots, with the vertical traffic module as the core, increasing the living space vertically is a more land-saving method.
The transportation of water in the site relies on the underground piping system, and the domestic water is transported to any place where it is needed through the vertical transportation pipeline inside the vertical transportation module. This water comes from a variety of sources: surrounding water plants, groundwater, purified rainwater, etc. Water in the park area comes from purified rainwater and is recycled to the maximum extent possible.
It is difficult for traditional high-rise buildings to expand vertically, so it is a good choice to use modular buildings that are easy to disassemble and assemble. Considering the expansion of the building, the vertical traffic modules in the site can be changed in height, which is also to match the increase of building modules.

Underground Transportation Organization (-6.00m Elevation) As with the ground, the main mode of underground transportation is still walking. People can reach the inside of the complex radiating in a cross shape through the central subway station building, and then reach any vertical transportation hub through the underground pedestrian road network. In this way, people in the venue can walk to any coordinate of the venue. Underground pedestrian road network Vertical transportation volume Subway station Subway track Public complex Roadway

Perspective Sections
Underground Space
Cruciform Transportation Hub
There is no roadway in the above-ground space inside the plot, and the movement of residents within the plot is entirely dependent on the pedestrian road network. The vehicle road is set underground, so that ground space can be reserved for residents' activities and greenland. There are not only roads and subway lines underground, but also a huge pedestrian transportation network. The pedestrian transportation network is combined with the underground space of the building to form a complex with rich functions.
The cross-shaped transportation hub is located in the center of the site, connecting four plots. It is not only a transportation hub, but also carries many other functions, such as commercial space and residential public activity space. Its underground part is a subway station, so it not only connects four plots in the horizontal direction, but also connects the ground and the underground in the vertical direction.
There is no road on the ground, and vehicles can only pass through underground tunnels. We can come to this plot from other areas by subway.
We can ride to any vertical transportation module in the plot by shared bicycles, and then reach every location in the plot.
We can attend lectures, enjoy food... this underground passage has almost everything!
In the past, we didn't have a venue for playing or practicing guitar. We always had to stay at home to avoid disturb others. Now that there are many large public areas, people here love to watch us playing guitars too!
Each vertical transportation module has stairs and elevators, through which people can reach any height platform connected to the vertical transportation. The transportation net work composed of these vertical transportation modules and horizontal transportation corridors allows people to easily reach any location in the plot.
24
How can more urban functions be placed in a limited land area? Our answer is: to develop the city into three dimensions. However, the large number of urban functions in three-dimensional space is a big challenge to traffic. In traditional cities, the plane road network is matched with the plane functional zoning. In order to realize the three-dimensional distribution of urban functions, we must establish a three-dimensional space road network, which is why we choose to design the traffic core and vertical traffic modules first. With the three-dimensional space road network, we can place the desired urban functions on the horizontal plane of any height, such as landscape space, residents' leisure space, public gathering space...and so on. This urban form is very similar to a city in China, Chongqing: because there are so many mountains in the city, people choose to build urban functions at various heights of the mountains, and use tunnels and bridges to connect these functions at different levels together to form A three-dimensional city network. I believe that there is a great possibility that cities in the future will develop like this.

This is the entry for the “Cuc Cup”. We finally won the Third Prize. I was responsible for or participated in the conceptual design, the research of the site, and the representation. The site is located inside Chaozong Street, an old neighborhood in Changsha City, Hunan Province. Starting from the scale relationship between the main street of Chaozong Street and the small alleys in the community, this design considers the old functions of the alleys: traffic and communication, and also considers the modern functions of the old alleys of different widths. In the end, we decided to use the wide alleys as the main traffic space, and the narrow alleys as space for people to communicate with people, with books, and with the community cultures. Each functional space is arranged in a U-shape around the newly formed laneway and Chaozong Street Church, forming a cultural complex. 26

In order to liberate the living space of the residents and provide tourists with a sightseeing space, we chose to rearrange the entire commercial block on the second floor, which is to return the first floor space to the residents, thereby expanding their living space.
Analysis of the existing street space and its community functions
This is the entry for the “UA International Competition”. I was responsible for or participated in the conceptual design and the representation. Shaocheng is located in the west of Chengdu, with a history of more than 2,600 years. At the beginning of the 21st century, with the process of urbanization, the old city was gradually replaced by the new city business district. Although the renewal has improved the urban infrastructure, sanitation, traffic and greening, the original culture of Shaocheng has also gone away. Residential living areas are squeezed, and leisure areas on the ground floor of the building are replaced by commercial functions. We hope to explore a new way so that the emerging functions of the city will not destroy the original urban space.
