02 OMNILOOP People come and go, only the tracks remain where they are.--Willem Koerse Urban Design | Competition Team member: Hanyi Zhang, Jishan Duan Summer 2018 Imagine waking up from your sleep, seeing your schedule and location route on your phone, and remembering that you have an entrepreneurial exchange to attend today, you find that your room and other communicators' rooms have been moved to their respective locations at night, greatly reducing your commute time. All you need is to get out at the right time on your phone. Your home and studio are all adjusted by an omni-system, making the most of physical and intellectual resources at your disposal. This is the future manifestation of cities fulfilling their “obligations of hospitality” in peacetime of what Derrida said about the city of refuge. Coupling with modern Internet of Things Technology has become an important way for omniloop to adapt to the rapid expansion of cities.

Huantie is an abandoned circular railway in the northeast of Beijing that used to be a test site for new trains. The train compartments passed the test here and then transported to stations. Once an important industrial base thanks to its transport advantages, it has now become an emerging residential, commercial and cultural area. Due to its remote location and low rents, a number of artists and entrepreneurs have gathered here, making this area alive. Residence Residence

The developed areas in Huantie account for about 50% of the total, and most of the rest is wasteland, but has spontaneously formed a road network. The circular railway is divided into layers according to the speed, forming a loop in the current functional aggregation area and diverting cars on the railway. The campus follows the current function aggregation area and inserts new functions according to the coordination. The green belts and walkways are embedded in a modular way to quickly diversify the landscape of the park.
There are many green spaces inside and around Huantie. The greening rate of more than 50% can provide a good living and working environment for people, and the design and renovation of green spaces can be quickly realized in some modular ways.

There is a legacy water system inside Huantie, which comes from a reservoir in the north of Beijing. This lake can regulate the microclimate in Huantie, forming dark green areas. The surrounding commercial area can promote the economic growth of the park.
Buildings and landscape elements form clusters around Huantie, which is surrounded by several low-density residential areas, overcrowded commercial office areas, two museums and water station and other infrastructure.
The Railway in Huantie itself has its value. The original two-track test tracks can be transformed into a number of tram tracks to reduce the commuting time across different areas of the park. 4

Omniloop uses cars as a vehicle to transport people and materials to other parts of the park through erected trams or organized shuttles within the park. Cars in Omniloop, like intracellular transport cells, have become one of the carriers of rapid passage and accurate transportation. Everything is modular. From cars which people can choose to live or work in to landscape greening, they can be produced, processed and combined in the form of prefabricated modules to form a diversification under a limited budget and construction period.

Modularization can be a way of life: it has certain limitations and solves user design problems; it is also operable, providing users with different options. Modules with learning ability and environmental adaptability are new ideas for urban organization. The most representative modular design in Omniloop is people's exclusive car, which runs through the construction process of the park. From the very beginning, when a series of functional groups had not been built in the park, the car became an omni-cell of Huantie, providing the necessary conditions for people living and working in it like a RV. The car runs on the track to realize the function of social interaction in human society, providing an active communication environment for entrepreneurs and artists. 7

The free choice of plans and facades in many standardized accessories highlights the diversity of omniloop. People achieve sustainable development through second-hand trading and shared space. The interpretation of individual ideals and environmental responsibility is the foundation of the formation of this small city. With the help of APPs and other intelligent city methods, it independently performs its "obligations of hospitality" and absorbs a variety of individuals under safe conditions.

02 LABYRINTHOS Dramatic Stage for Rebels, Perishable Canvas of Civilization Architecture Game Design | Design Studio Team member：Hanyi Zhang, Ruixiang Xu Spring 2018 In a traditional cultural complex, people understand cultural objects and their changes through exhibits and exhibition sequence. The curator is the screenwriter and director of the cultural theater, the exhibits are the characters, and the artist is the actor. In the face of this cultural drama, people are unknown audience, at best to write a commentary at the end of the play. In the face of this xenophobic culture, how to make new people become the protagonist of this culture has become an urgent problem to be solved. To answer the above questions, we need to think about: How is the cultural perspective formed? How to identify and screen collective culture and individual culture? How should we divide the culture reasonably? How can people be on the scene?

The new cultural scope of the city expands first and then shrinks with the change in the scope of the city. From the 1970s to 2010, the scope of Beijing City continued to expand, from the original fourth ring and fifth ring to the sixth ring. In 2010, the city began to stock, redevelop and utilize existing sites and buildings.

In addition to the cultural growth of the city, the current feelings of urban culture also have a great influence on the image of the city. The cultural anchors within the Second Ring Road of Beijing are scattered in the Forbidden City, Shichahai and Wangfujing areas. The Forbidden City is a symbol of the imperial political and cultural center, Shichahai is a symbol of urban life, and Wangfujing is a cultural front for exhibition, exchange and tolerance. Commercial, historical, fashionable, and royal cultural symbols all gather here, forming a large supermarket for culture. Subjects were asked to walk and observe on Wangfujing Street with recording equipment. The device could record galvanic skin response, which reflected real-time emotional arousal. Combined with the questionnaire feedback, the cultural status, organization patterns and connections of Wangfujing Street are shown in the following figure. The level of culture and openness is shown on the right. For the group, the cultural experience on Wangfujing Street is not even.

In addition to analyzing the group memory from the perspective of urban and sociology, we used psychology to explore the memory and behavior of individuals. For the same subjects and some new subjects who did not participate in the experiment, we asked them to describe the image of Beijing City and draw a mental map that they thought could reflect the center of Beijing culture as accurately as possible. In the analysis of the mental map, the information was sorted out from three levels: location, elements and relationship between the elements. The specific location on the map varies depending on the background and age of the participants, but the elements used for presentation can be classified into three categories: point, polyline, and polygon. Points are used to represent location information, polylines important roads and polygons location information and areas. Most of the logic in the map is embodied by polyline elements, which organize points or express the relationship among polygons through line elements. Psychology Maps from Subjects
lE ements Analysis in the Maps
Psychological Map Composition
Our goal is to make an architectural game. We used this psy map as our game map, converting the broken line elements into pipes to form a maze, embedding the investigated anchor points into the box as a point element, and using the environmental background information as a surface element.
After summarizing the anchors and targets in dozens of psychological maps and analyzing the routes in them, we drew a multipsy map to express people’s understanding of cultural facilities in Wangfujing Street and area in the Second Ring Road of Beijing. In this map, you can find basic location information and routes, which also reflect the content of cultural memory such as local people’s memories of Wangfujing Street during the Republic of China, the photography of foreign photographers with important historical influence on Wangfujing and historical anecdotes. These cultural memories are not serious enough, but they are vivid. 15
16
We wrote a game script and set the game background in Beijing a hundred years later. Faced with urban population and environmental problems, much of Beijing has moved underground, and the maze is an aboveground game hall for urban culture in the 21st century. It retains the state of science and technology and the environment at that time, and shares popular science and memories among citizens. The NPCs in the game are played by AI, and players can set a stand-alone or network mode in the game. Players can choose their own route in the pipelines and develop a plot with NPCs. The scene of Beijing in the old times will be presented through immersive AR, including the Forbidden City nearby and the mountains far away. Bonus branches are also interspersed in the passage, such as the opportunity to see the real status of the Forbidden City by the Ferris wheel.

What we want to criticize is the role of human beings in the progress of life. As smart and great as our community is, it has also caused a lot of trauma to the planet. From the first photo of the hole in the ozone layer to the first recent glacier funeral, humans have indeed done some irreversible damage to the planet. But what will happen after that? Are we really going to fall into the black hole of silicon-based life as the rise of artificial intelligence like some of the movies in the Matrix series? Maybe, because although we are great, we are not gods. But as a member of the human group, we hope to see life struggle. In the face of possible friends and enemies in the future, while promoting human goodwill of protecting the group, this spirit is one of the greatest evolutionary achievements of mankind.

03 LAPUTA Sweet Home for Unknowns, Dramatic Stage for Rebels Art Complex Design Individual Work | Design Studio Fall 2018 An artist needs a hotbed to alleviate stress before he comes famous. People tend to focus more on famous artists than their growing process. The artists that are not so famous need a more liberal social environment while more artists establish art communities for communicating and sharing their financial stress. Since the middle of the last century, artist communities have spontaneously emerged in Beijing. They rented houses from farmers, transformed them into studios and dormitories and held regular exhibitions in open spaces. With the development of the city, these art communities have moved from the Old Summer Palace to Caochangdi, Songzhuang, 798 Industrial Zone, and Huantie Art District. However, rising rents have commercialized these art parks. Combining the trend of commercialization with the artist's shared community is one way to support their development

Migration History of Unknown Artists As the end of 1980s, a group of unemployed migrant artists gathered in the Old Summer Palace. They started to establish the Artists V i llage, which grew to nearly 400 people over the next five years. Though they could only live a simple life, here they were free to create works, thus opening up a road to Chinese contemporary art.

Needs of Unknowns In 2001, industrial plants in DAD of Jiuxianqiao road was retained and leased to artists for their creation and exhibition.

At that time, Songzhuang was a rural village in the east of Beijing.

04 Taipingxingguo Temple In a straw cloak, spend my life in mist and rain.——Su Shi，Chinese poet and politiction in Song dynasty. Architecture History Research | Design Studio Team member: Hanyi Zhang, Jishan Duan Spring 2019 China's history is extensive and profound. As the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng has left a wealth of historical and cultural resources. During an exploration, the site of Taipingxingguo Temple, one of the important temples in the Song Dynasty in Kaifeng, was discovered 6 meters underground. Based on historical documents such as Official History, Japanese Monk Chengxun's Diaries, and Complete Works of Su Shi, combined with previous studies, contemporary temple buildings and murals, this reasearch studio attempts to restore Taipingxingguo Temple, an important religious, cultural and commercial node in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. As a dynasty dominated by commerce and literature, the Song Dynasty is arguably one of the most commercially active places in the world. Although the Taipingxingguo Temple has a religious policy of silence and abstinence, it had a flower market in its front yard and short-term rental apartments in the bathroom courtyard and the monk's houses. These are very important business measures. The study of the temples helps us to better understand the architectural functions and changes of Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty. 31
32
Based on archaeological finds and historical records, we can deduce the approximate location of Taipingxingguo Temple .It is located west of the city centre and adjacent to an important waterway.

Ancient House Building Regulations Pattern
When restoring the building , we restored the bathroom in strict accordance with the Song Yingzao Fashi, the first official treatise on architectural structure and craftsmanship, reproducing the indoor space and internal activities of the bathroom in the Song Dynasty. We also studied the baths and rest areas, and discovered the exquisite taste of life in the Song Dynasty. Su Shi also rented the second room on the east of the bathroom where he wrote various literary works.
33
Taipingxingguo Temple is a large architectural complex built during the transition of Buddhism in China. In addition to the important Buddhist space on the central axis, the human space on the secondary axis is more valuable for research. The bathroom courtyard is an important social place, the ancient house is a gallery for collecting and displaying ancient paintings, and the monk's room is a short-term apartment for candidates.
