FORM STUDY 1- NaTure THE LIGHT
FORM STUDY 2 - NaTure THE WIND
Movement 6 am
In the form of nature, light is a dominant part of architecture.The change of light and shadow is the guide of architectural ideology and human behavior. In this design, I segmented the cracks in the direction in which the light might be projected on the building.And use the light path as the main guide of the building block segmentation.After that, the sunlight in each period of the building will be a dynamic change, modifying the color of the building and the relationship between the building and nature to different degrees

Wind
With the help of nature, lighter materials such as silk can be pushed to create a dynamic atmosphere in the building.People don't just stay in the solid structure, but are attracted by the dynamic power.A static library that breaks with the norm allows people to appreciate each other not just because, but because of the power of nature

Wandering footprints , deja vu In this design, human action is also a form of dynamics.He may be guided by architecture, or he may be guided by architecture.But human footprints still evoke the act of recalling the past.
No!You're on the fifth floor! Based on the study of Chongqing, the concept of mountain was extracted as an interpretation of the multi-storey and stepped route. The frames of mountains and buildings are still, but people and nature are moving.The natural growth of the building portrays the diversity of urban life and ecology and social attributes.
The circulation and rise along the boundary of the building is the best and classic distribution of books on each floor

Mountain Library
Imagination of Concept
"City" in the mountain, "mountain" in the city
The Possibility of Library in Mapping work
"City" in the mountain, "mountain" in the city
My concept comes from the dynamic, and based on the dynamic, I extend the possible development of natural growth imagination such as the growth of mountain.The example is with the social relationship of Chinatown, I learned a reference applied in the mapping -Hongyadong in Chongqing as my interpretation of Chinatown . Hongyadong has blocks of different heights, allowing people to shuttle between seemingly deranged floors. However, there are corridors connecting each floor space together to guide people from lost and trapped. Such a multi-level social way shows people's different preferences and representatives.In the same way, the library is an opportunity of which they can feel the crisscross of the city. The mountain is like a watchtower, looking at oneself and life from different heights.Therefore, different age groups have different perceptions of knowledge at each height. This imagination also allows ecology to grow inside. Seemingly disordered and free, it is actually a form of architecture.It also strengthens my understanding of the social nature of Chinatown by region.After all, what people learn in different stages is just different, so I want to make a continuous upward space to guide people to the places they want to achieve.Whether they stay or flow, it all depends on themselves.
