Natural urbanism involves designing and building urban areas in ways that support the natural environment and promote biodiversity. It represents a shift away from traditional approaches to urban planning and design that prioritize economic growth and development at the expense of the natural environment. Instead, it seeks to create cities that are in harmony with nature and that support the long-term health and sustainability of both urban residents and the planet as a whole.

THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SITE

Dashilanr is located to the south of Tiananmen Square, west of Qianmen Street. The overall length of Dashilanr is 275m from east to west. At present, 36 stores from 11 trades are scattered along Dashilanr with an average customer flow of 150-160 thousand usually and 200 thousand in holidays.[clarification needed][citation needed] Because of the overall improvement of business environment in Beijing, the heart of retail business is no longer in the area of Qianmen and the business position Dashilanr once held is also on the wane. Except some China Time-honored Brands, most of the present shops and stores of Dashilanr are offering goods of poor qualities at low prices. Meanwhile, there are many lawless men perpetrating frauds and extortion on the street.

The Opera Tradition

Beijing Traditional Opera Museum

Beijing Traditional Opera Museum is located in the Huguang Chamber at Hufangqiao in Xuanwu District. It was officially established and opened on September 6, 1997. It is the 100th Museum built up by Beijing Municipality. Huguang Chamber was first established on Jiaqing 12th Year of Qing Dynasty (the year 1807), which includes a series building like big opera tower, Xiangxian Memorial Hall, Wenchang attic, Baoshang Hall, Chuyuan Hall, "Miss Somebody in the Wind and Rain" Chamber and etc. It has a long history and profound culture connotations

The Paradox of the Old and the New

From around 3200 intact hutong in 1949, that number is thought to have shrunk to 900 by 2012 as new office buildings, apartment blocks, and the widening of roads prompted widespread demolition. More alarming is that in 2017, some sources put the number of hutong at just 300, with about half truncated or changed in part by construction.once the gathering place of the students from Hunan and Hubei Provinces to participate the imperial test in Beijing and the businessmen from the some place.

Astronomy in China

Astronomy in China has a long history stretching from the Shang Dynasty, being refined over a period of more than 3,000 years. The Ancient Chinese people have identified stars from 1300BCE, as Chinese star names later categorized in the twenty-eight mansions have been found on oracle bones unearthed at Anyang, dating back to the mid-Shang Dynasty. The core of the "mansion" system also took shape around this period, by the time of King Wu Ding (1339–1281 BCE).

BUILDING EVOLUTION

Basically there are two factors that affect the design, the surrounding's renovation and the represent of courtyard in a vertical direction.

Build the New Courtyards

The courtyards around the site are most perished that they can not be visited. The construction will happen through several streets near the site. The traditional Beijing courtyards often set as private use. In order to attract more visitors, I will build the new courtyards and endow them with different themes as follow:

The Circulation & Landscape System

Art Courtyard

Heavenly Market Enclosure

The Heavenly Market Enclosure ( Tian Shi Yuan), is one of the San Yuan or Three enclosures. Stars and constellations of this group are visible during late summer and early autumn in the Northern Hemisphere (late winter and early spring in the Southern). The Summer Triangle lies directly to the northwest.

Syzygy of the Sun, Moon, and the Five Planets

The Sun and Moon coming together meant that they would rise at the same time; the Five Planets lining up meant that Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn would be almost aligned. Officials therefore predicted it would be a year of peace and baountiful harvest throughout the land .

The Beijing courtyard and the universe

The courtyard dwellings were built according to the traditional concepts of the five elements that were believed to compose the universe, and the eight diagrams of divination. The gate was made at the southeast corner which was the “wind” corner, and the main house was built on the north side which was believed to belong to “water”, an element to prevent fire.

The main strategy I use is to organiza the visitors' circulation first. From the old to the new, from the ground to the exhibitions of the planets, I hope they go for a tasteful walk. The Landscape design is included in the site plan to promote visitors' experience when they are visiting the courtyards.

2. The main circulation of people nearby.

5. The organization of paths nearby.

6. The whole circulation system.

The structure perfectly matches the outer and interior designs. The main supporing system are still the core-tubes and the huge columns. On the othe hand, the vertical curved walls still take some weights of the building.

LOCATION INTRODUCTION

Rambler Channel is a body of water in Hong Kong that separates Tsing Yi Island from Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung in the New Territories. The channel separates the two landmasses by 900 metres at its widest point.

The shoreline of the channel has changed rapidly in the last several decades, owing to the development of Tsuen Wan New Town and the Kwai Chung Container Port. Before extensive reclamation, Gin Drinkers Bay was located along the eastern shore of the channel, and Tsing Yi Bay was located along the western shore. Three islands (Nga Ying Chau, Pillar Island and Mong Chau) once stood in the channel as well.

Intensification and sieges of the universities

For the first time, during a standoff on 11 November, police shot numerous rounds of tear gas, sponge grenades and rubber bullets into the campuses of universities, while protesters threw bricks and petrol bombs in response. Student protesters from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) confronted the police for two consecutive days. After the conflict, protesters briefly occupied several universities.A major conflict between protesters and police took place in Hung Hom on 17 November after protesters took control of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and blockaded the CrossHarbour Tunnel. Thus began the siege of PolyU by police which ended with them storming onto the campus and arresting several protesters and volunteer medics in the early morning of 18 November.

THE CONCEPT

Here is a short piece of comic paper representing the concept about this design.

BUILDING IMAGE

Hong Kong is absolutely a city, which is unstable and full of possibility. We need somewhere we can live for a relatively long term and do some studies in it. And the natural elements provide us with such a good opportunity to organize both the structure and the spaces in it.

We all know that when Koolhaas designed the CCTV building in Beijing, he thought uniquely from others. "By breaking the traditionnl tower that merely goes up and down at four points. a loop of buildling can be generated that unites and confronts its popula1ion in a single whole and cements a coherence of elements. isolating and seperating them."(Source: Content by Rem Koolhaas)

But for Hong Kong and its residents, we actually need a building that is more elegant and rich in use.

A mountain has three distances: from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is called "high and far"; from the front of the mountain to the back of the mountain, it is called "profound"; from the near mountain to the distant mountain, it is called "flat and distant"

High and Far

Profound and Far

The Chinese Landscape paintings are providing an excellent form and structure reference for us.

Do you know the artificial mountains and rock gardens and how essential they are in Chinese Classical Gardens?

The Lion Forest, for example, is one of the most famous gardens in China. The lion forest is different from the ordinary literati landscape garden. Its rockery group has deep Zen meaning, which embodies the religious thought of the founder of lion forest.

BUILDING EVOLUTION

Flat and Distant

Rambler Channel is a body of water in Hong Kong that separates Tsing Yi Island from Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung in the New Territories. The channel separates the two landmasses by 900 metres at its widest point. Historically, the channel was known as Tsing Yi Mun and Tsing Yi Channel .

Yes! It definitely is! Hong Kong is the place that lacks space that is closely related with nature. And also we can provoke people from their accustomed urban routine lives that it is really a chance to be near something older, richer and more organic. That is what I want------a building grows from the city's skyscraper forest.

Building Programme

The use of the building are based on the normal regulations that we put the pulic spaces on the low and medium areas and the privacy apartments on the high area.

The Whole Structure

The triple supporting systems composed the whole structure and make sure that the building is firm and the spaces are possibly realized.

SITE DESIGN

As you can see below, the site is a place surrounded by the high-rises and also the beautiful natural scenery. I decided to borrow the skills of traditional chinese gardens' designs, including creating the hills and streams. It is an approach that makes a built environment especially close to the nature itself.

EXPLODED VIEWS

Though the building seems random, actually it has a clear structure and organization for its spaces.

THE SITE PLAN

I have created a soft boudary of the site to make the people living in the building have more interactions with surrounding elements. Even one day after the war, people can still observe and think and even communicate through the soft boundary.

VIEW FROM THE CITY

This is the facade that is faced to the Hong Kong city. Since this buiding is basically used for the graduates in Hongkong to conduct their academic researches, which are quite serious for a society, that the building really needs to show an atmosphere of tranquility during the day, by its forth facade.

THE STRUCTURE & INTERIOR

The structure perfectly matches the outer and interior designs. The main supporing system are still the core-tubes and the huge columns. On the othe hand, the vertical curved walls still take some weights of the building.

DETAILS

To make it more suitable for Hong Kong, which is such a modern, advanced city, the glass walls adopt very clear structures to make the building look more clean from outside.

THE HORQIN DESERT

Previously a green vista in Inner Mongolia’s autonomous region, Horqin has now become a large desert 42,300 sq. km in size, nearly equal to the entire country of Switzerland. Desertification is expanding this desert area at a rate of 10,000 sq. km, almost the size of Lebanon, per year.

THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SITE

Chifeng borders Xilin Gol League to the north and west, Tongliao to the northeast, Chaoyang (Liaoning) to the southeast and Chengde (Hebei) to the south. The city has a total administrative area of 90,275 square kilometres (34,855 sq mi) and as of the 2020 census, had a population of 4,035,967 inhabitants (4,341,245 in 2010). However, 1,175,391 of those residents lived in the built-up (or metro) area made of the 2 urban districts of Hongshan and Songshan, as Yuanbaoshan is not conurbated yet. However, a large part of Songshan is still rural and Yuanbaoshan is a de facto separate town 27 kilometers away from the core district of Chifeng. The city was the administrative center of the defunct Ju Ud League.

Hyperloop: one type of future

Throughout the last two centuries there has been a shift in transportation paradigm every 50 to 70 years. Hyperloop will be the next logical step in the evolution of transportation, combining the speed of a plane with the capacity of a train and the convenience of a car.

History of Transportation

Hyperloop is two to three times faster than the bullet train and also it is comparatively cheaper than the bullet train. The bullet trains constantly require power from the track in order to propel forward. On the other hand, pods in hyperloop do not have the need of power from the guideline, due to which it has high efficiency of energy and the expenditure of travel is less.

The bullet trains constantly require power from the track in order to propel forward. On the other hand, pods in hyperloop do not have the need of power from the guideline, due to which it has high efficiency of energy and the expenditure of travel is less.

THE GREEN CORRIDOR

If we focus on the environment, their most important benefits include: Increased biodiversity by having more green areas in the urban environment.

Promotion of non-polluting mobility: bicycles or scooters, for example. Reduced air pollution and noise pollution in the city. Helping prevent heat islands from forming, effectively lowering the temperature.

THE GREEN CORRIDOR

FULL TILT! HYPERLOOP

Full Tilt! Pinball is a pinball video game developed by Cinematronics[1] and published by Maxis in 1995. It features pre-rendered 3D graphics and three tables—Space Cadet, Skullduggery, and Dragon's Keep. On each table, there are displays on the side that show the players' score, ball number, player number, a display for various information and a table-specific image. Likely, this project is to provide people with a tube system accomodating the hyperloop cabin balls where people can take a trip or have a sightseeing straightly in the ball.

THE FORM EVOLUTION

The loops and circulatory system of the project is designed to maximize the experience for each user type even for one-time visitors to create an invisible platform of information sharing since resilient communities only survive when they share the knowledge. Flexibility in the design facilitates resilient growth and spatial management so that the building can function for many more years.

Grasshopper Code

THE CABIN BALL

Designed for a swift motion of the cabin in the tube.

THE GENERAL PERSPECTIVE

Based on the concept that to construct a linear tube-like space for the station, I use grasshopper as an assistance to study.

PERSPECTIVE OF THE ATRIUM

In the ancient China, the cave-like spaces make people wonder about further things. For nowadays, the curved, cave-like spaces can bring people a lot of fun. It is a symbol of nature, attracting people to do more researches in the building.

THE SITE PLAN

The loop like form makes the whole building exposed to people in the same way from nearly all the directions. So that naturally the building has four entrances and people can have easy access to the space in the building.

THE FUNCTION DISTRIBUTION

The tube-like form can create almost all kinds of rooms, from theater to private offices. People can really gain a rich experience here and have more spaces to communicate.

PERSPECTIVE OF THE ENTRANCE

In the ancient China, the cave-like spaces make people wonder about further things. For nowadays, the curved, cave-like spaces can bring people a lot of fun. It is a symbol of nature, attracting people to do more researches in the building.

BIRD'S EYE VIEW

The spiral tubes have devoted to a grandiose bird's eye view. The loop form gives the opportunity to create wind corridors and help passive ventilation of the interior. Another layer of resilience is the inclusive property of the design.

INTERIOR SPACE

The perceptions of space are continuous and dynamic and a natural architecture has to be fluid and multifunctional. Every architecture should be an artificial refuge like an opened artificial landscape without too rigid functional articulations to be nearer to freedom and naturality of life.

DETAIL

The project embodies an enlightened framework. The cantre's fluid exterior surfaces rise from its surroundings. Structure of this building is compose of lighter, materials that applies as irregular, non-rectilinear geometry for crating large column-free spaces. Technical design of critical areas such as the external cladding and its support structure, along with the curtain walling.

The existing methods of analysing the colour of heritage buildings range from actual pigment restoration based on observation to the use of scientific colour instruments to measure chromaticity data. Measuring colour to obtain data yields relatively accurate and objective colour identification results, but when considering the historical nature of heritage buildings and the important responsibilities undertaken by restoration work, the data results obtained need to be filtered and moreover analysed in relation to the actual perception of colour, the possibilities behind the colour data and the actual presentation effect. This study combines colour measurement data analysis and scale evaluation of perception survey methods to provide a new reference for the application and innovation of colour methods.
