"CATALYSTS"
ANCIENT TOWN REGENERATION STIMULATED BY MARKET REVIVAL [Location]: Shanhaiguan District, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province [Site Area]: 365,175 m2 [Duration]: May 2016 to July 2018 [Type]: Personal Project An increasing number of young people leave their old houses in Hutong and live in skyscraper new urban district. The old district is more like a city for the elders. Located in the ancient city of Shanhaiguan, Chaihe Market is time-honored and extremely famous. Despite a complete range of products, it is not so attractive for young people there, so backup purchasing power is insufficient. Though it may meet basic demands, its lack of artistic vigor deprives it of an important role in improving urban space.
How to attract young people to return to the old district is an important part of urban renewal. Therefore, in this renovation project, we hope to renovate it into a leisure space proper for young people’s modern lifestyle while respecting the original spatial structure and keeping the original spatial traits of courtyards.
The innovative design and renovation of market is used as catalysts to create a creative name card for markets in Qinhuangdao, retain the memories of the elders and attract young people, striving to integrate artistic creativity into people’s life, which is the purpose of the projects like blocks renewal and building renovation.

RECONNECT THE WATER URBAN RIVERSIDE PARK DESIGN
[Location]: NewBund, Pudong New Area, Shanghai [Site Area]: 101,708 m2 [Duration]: November 2017 to February 2018 [Type]: Personal Project The site is located in the mainstream of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, and it has a long and rich history. It presents the development of Shanghai itself in many aspects. "Can’t see the river though being near the river" has been a difficult problem about urban space in this area for nearly a hundred years. After overcoming many obstacles, the first time we stepped into this site, stood on the old dock, touched the anchor piles full of marks, and overlooked the city on the other side of the river, we realized that this would be an important transformation of urban space, and also a big chance to vividly show the history of this city. Re-establishing the urban benefits of ecology and leisure of Huangpu River. In our design, "water wave" is used as the keynote of the site modelling by abstract means, creating ecological setback space. We created a space-experiencing interface of order and sequence with the difference of levels of this site space, forming a new image of a broad urban landscape with coherence and strong visual impact.

After the movie,let's go to the other side of the river to play ! But...there's no way to go there directly.
There will be a park here.Fishmen like us can not dock the boat here and take a break , right?
Work makes me too tired! I want to go downstairs to walk and relax . But the riverside is an abandoned land.
I always do indoor exercise.Are there a n y p l a c e s fo r m e t o d o o u t d o o r activities?

RESILIENT LIVING SYSTEM FOR ECO-COMMUNITY [Location]: Pengshan District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province [Site Area]: 111,309 m2 [Duration]: July 2016 to December 2016 [Type]: Personal Project The Pengxi River with its narrow and desert waterway is suffering from more and more serious pollution. It is unsafe for citizens to swim in and unsafe for the animals and plants which live in the water. The design purpose of the linear riverside park is to create a healthy riverside living-system. The green areas alongside the river banks connect the activity areas, and we will popularize the science and technology knowledge about health environment-protection, and integrate the unique water space into the community environment. Nature is most vigorous self-regenerating system. There are many brooks flowing into the Minjiang River in Pengshan residential area. When water flows through an object, it forms a weaving geometry shape under the influence of natural forces. This project will use this river form as the recirculating network and connect all the directions, and the residential areas. Inspired by the geometric riverbed, our design creates a new urbanism landscape with water. This design provides a sense of a greater community space for the residents in Pengshan District, while maintaining the uniqueness of their landscape language by the Pengxi River.

[SITE ANALYSIS]
[USERS ANALYSIS] Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is a typical idyllic city. As a satellite city of Chengdu, Pengshan City is only thirty minutes' drive from Chengdu. Because of the explosive development of Chengdu, house prices are rising rapidly. So many citizens choose to buy houses and live in neighboring cities. This has created conditions for Pengshan’s development. However, in the early stage of the development of a new city, there are always problems such as inadequate living facilities, lack of leisure places, landscape greening problems and so on.

We found ten Linpan1 in Pidu District, and we analyzed their differences and consistency starting from the four elements of the traditional Linpan: house, field, water and woods. We went to these villages, visited the owners of the houses and learned the story of Linpan. We combined Linpan with architectural design and learned how to combine the traditional Linpan with contemporary design.

that almost no old buildings still remain there, most of the buildings have a two-floor structure, and were constructed by bricks-and-concrete, with the arrangement of the township road. Through interviews with the local villagers, we learned that most of the villagers in wenxing village worked in the town. In order to improve their living standard and facilitate the tourism, they chose to move away and build new houses along the rural roads connecting to the town. The-

refore, the houses we see now are the result of the constant modification of the villagers in the past two decades. Most of the old buildings the villagers lived in for generations were collapsed or abandoned because of disrepair.
but was assigned to several local farmers during China’s land revolution. The building has a history of more than 100 years.It is a wood-frame structure. Due to its age and an unexpected fire, some tiles of the roof of the houses has fallen off.
Interview A 72-year-old grandmother led us to a traditional residential courtyard where many villagers still live in. There is a typical structure of the west sichuan Linpan buildings, field, water and woods . Through the talk with the two villagers living there, we learned that this house was once owned by li guichuan, a landowner in wenxing village,
A woman, who lives here in her mid-fifties, said, “she would be more willing to pay money to travel with her husband in different places than buy a house in the city. Thus, when people of their generation dies, these houses may be empty.

OTHER WORKS PHYSICAL MODEL-MAKING/PAPER SCULPTURE/POP-UP BOOK
1. PHYSICAL MODEL-MAKING City Tree Hole
In the contemporary society where intergenerational contradictions are becoming more and more serious, how to give people a way to communicate? Young people seldom talk to their elders when they are under pressure, whereas the elder people have richer life experiences and more mature and comprehensive ideas.
3. POP-UP BOOK Distant Mountain INSPIRATION: I really love the paper sculpture. I was shocked by how a single sheet paper could be so magic and fantastic. My 2D composition is very fit to the idea to make a 3D book. It includes the design principle of symmetry,radiation and reflection.
Maybe your questions and worries will get solved through a tree hole where voices could be saved.
TRANSLATION: This is the plan view of the composition. I draw 24 pages for this paper sculpture and overplap them as the plan view. Because if I draw a plan view that see fron the top, it is just a cylinder. Every page is slightly different in order to provide the view different perspective when they look it from different sides. In order to provide the feeling of reflection, I want to put an acrylic in the center.
ASSEMBLING At first, I print the colored shape on double side of my paper. Then send it to laser cut. After laser cut the paper, I use strings to bind it as a book. When I do not need to show it, I can just take it as a small book. When I display it, I can spread it out as a cylinder with an acrylic in the center.
ATTEMPTS AND PROBLEMS Because the lack of time, I did a model without color before, and did not have time to photograph it. The model is somewhat fragile and not easy to stand steadily, but I can only use paper under 110 pounds for printer. The printer also has the problem that both sides cannot be perfectly matched, and laser cutter also cannot perfectly matched with the printouts. FINAL VERSION AND PHOTOGRAPHY Even though it cannot be 100 percent perfect, the result looks cool. I booked a studio for photograph. Because it is a little model, I choose the simplest LED light for lighting. In order to add more interesting element in photograph, I borrowed some color paper for changing the light which works pretty well in the photo. I photographed different perspective of the model and different shape of it (flat or 3D) I really love the colored light which provide a dramatic view. 2. PAPER CONSTRUCTION City Tree Hole Paper Flowers
A light and soft piece of paper can be toughened by plasticity. You don’t have to write anything on it, and it still can convey information and even give you a blossom.
