• school work - manchester waterways Renaissance The Manchester waterway systems were the products of the industrial evolution in the 18th century. They served to the prosperity and the characteristic of the city. However in the 21st century, where most of the old waterways no longer serve their original purposes, it's time to reconsider their roles and relationship to the urban enviroment. By connecting the waterway system as a "LOOP", this project engages a whole new relationship of the water and the urban space. With the water elevated above the ground. Pollutions are alleviated while new possibilities and urban space are created.

• school work - REIMAGING TALL, Peaceful Underground In China, people die at a rate of 8.92million/year. If each of the dead person occupies 2m2 of arable land, according to current average level, the land available for death decrease at a rate of 2883million m2/year. As the ever increasing speed of urbanism, cities continue to devour large amounts of the land of the countries. In 2050, there will be no room for the dead. Where shall I put my ash box when I died?

In the mass development of urbanism, much of the arable land of the countryside have been devoured due to the expansion of the city. Tombs used to orientated at ideal location have now been forced to move to other places, which results in serious conflicts between the villagers and the government.

• school work - FROM CONTexT to DETAILS One of the greatest challenge of the project was not to search for forms that keep in harmony with the surroundings (although it's an important one as many other scenery projects), but to take full advantages of the limited resources on site — exsiting buildings been taking down, views on different level, local building traditions and technics. On-site investigation and personal experinece played important roles in this project.

• school work - POLICY On TECHNOLOGY, Youth center The design is developed based on solving two problems as followed: 1. City regulation and site restriction. The project is of high controversy and raised fierce discussion among citizens due to its crucial location: the eastern corner of the People’s Park of Nanchang. 2. Energy saving strategy and technology The new centre will serves as an demonstration project of green building stratagies as well as education of their next generation.
