01 Renewal Planning in Zhouju Block
ACADEMIC TEAM WORK (ORIGINAL) / 2017 and INDIVIDUAL REVISAL ROLE: Headman / Collaboration on planning and individual detailed design MEMBLE: Quanjiang Li, Pengren Chen, Shaozhi Zheng (3) INSTRUCTOR: Jian Chen LOCATION: Guangzhou, China AREA: 46 hectares
ZHOUJU block is located on the southern bank of the Pearl River, It used to prosperous and bustling as a centeral district of old Guangzhou. But it lost its prosperity and became a village inside a city at present.
2. High construction density ratched up the difficulties of renewal, especially the open space system.
This project aims to discuss one urban issue: Should old Guangzhou be content with staying and gradually external erosion of modern high-rise buildings? Or should it open to embrace new media and carry forward traditional culture? This is what I focus of my.
Unlike pure rehabilitation, I tried to link the past and the future of old Guangzhou. Therefore, the spatial system of an old Guangzhou was reestablished, and an idealized model of 1+4+N was put forward.
Current problems
Outdoor public space, as a place for local residents to communicate with foreign tourists and take part in activities, become the focus of the revival of this new space system.
1. Multifarious but chaotic city status is a chance but also a chanllenge.

UNLIKE the variability of living space, commercial space almost exist in the form of streets and lanes. Therefore, an evaluating model contributes to unscramble the patterns which root in life of old Guangzhou. Publicity, aggregation and compatibility indicate the space features not only in daily life but also in festival. Besides, a target of distribution indicate the quantization crowding level after urban designed. 7

Renewal Design of Huizhou Shipyard
Huizhou shipyard was established in the ealy 1900s and stepped into its heyday in the 1950s, when there were 15 shipyards working day and night. However, they gradually declined since 1970s and were totally abadoned now.
DIPLOMA PROJECT TEAM WORK (ORIGINAL) / 2018 and INDIVIDUAL REVISAL ROLE: Headman / Collaboration on planning and individual detailed design MEMBLE: Quanjiang Li, Pengren Chen, Sang Wang, Shaobin Deng, Shuyuan Xiang, Jiahao Xu (6) INSTRUCTOR: Junyu Wu, Changxin Peng LOCATION: Huizhou, China AREA: 4 hectares
This project aims the reutilize the site. By the renewal of the shipyard remains, the surrounding old town can become active again and together, they can become a landmark in the city. Current problems 1. It is not a large site, though it is extremely complex. Architecture, landscape and urban desgin are all in demand in the project.
2. There is a long and narrow vertical height change in the long and narrow site, where the upper part is 5-meter higher than the lower part. Design Strategies 1. From the east to west, the site is divided into 2 parts, the urban interface and the water interface. The former is open to the city and the latter is open to the river. 2. From the south to north, the site is divided into 2 parts, the old and new district. The shipyard remains are are located in the old area and the new development projects are in the new district. We have different design strategies to them.

03 Mine Ecological Park Design in Nansha THE site was originally a part of the Dashanna mountain. After many years of mineral exploitation, the massif has become a series of seperate pit mines. How the scars of the earth can serve the city through ecological rehabilitation is the core issue discussed in this project. Furthermore, we choose two pits in a block to carry out the detailed design. ACADEMIC TEAM WORK (ORIGINAL) / 2017 and INDIVIDUAL REVISAL ROLE: Headman / Collaboration on planning and individual detailed design MEMBLE: Quanjiang Li, Ziyi Zhou, Shaozhi Zheng (3) INSTRUCTOR: Yicheng Weng LOCATION: Nansha AREA: 7 hectares
Current problems
Design strategies The ecological restoration project in Nansha Mine aims to satisfy city’s daily water demand with storm water collected and purified by a belt of ponds and wetland. Through calculation, the water storage capacity of this pit belt can meet the tap water demand in the central city of Nansha, which would save more than 1,000,000 RMB of electricity per year, and 4,000,000 tons of water purification chemicals.
1. The original ecosystem is almost destroyed. 2. It is located in the center of Nansha while encircled by a residential area. Thus it can not be simply Transform it into a country park.
The design emphasize the sharp contrast between two pit mines. One retains the historical trace of mining as far as possible while the other is ecological restoration elaborately.

04 Between Land and Water In Landscape Architecture and Architecture, there is arguably nothing more compelling that the relationship between land and water. The land itself shapes the water and the land is shaped by water, The relationship between solid and liquid,; stability and shifting; as well as the absorption and reflection of light, make the phenomenology of land and water rife with potential experience. This project, a boathouse on the LSU Lakes, is built for the local rowing club and trying to attract membership through higher visibility as well as store and secure the sculls. ACADEMIC INDIVIDUAL WORK INSTRUCTOR: Kevin Benham LOCATION: Baton Rouge, USA AREA: 1 hectare
Current problems 1. The eastern and western side of the university lake have distinct situation. There are no developed transportation systems in the eastern side, which is extremely unfriendly to the public. Design strategies
1. This project I come from two scale, they are Synchronous and Parallel. 2. The left is the macro level, large scale. It uses mapping to show the aim of the project, which is to active the whole western area of the university lake, build up a system that brings more public space for the public, to recover the situation that the lake looks to belong to the rich only. The right is the micro level, which aims to use model to set space. From conceptual volume, to using planes to divide space, and finally transfer them to landscape and architecture. 3. The large scale locates the site of the program, as well as its entrance, connections with contexts and the orientation of the row boat house. The small scale ensure that a frame is used as the center of the landscape, like the whole landscape is the center of the system. Using topography, the frame works as the medium from land to water.

05 Entrance Design of Qinghui Garden QINGHUI garden is one of the four ancient Chinese south of the Five Ridges Park, there is a treasure of traditional culture inside and modern development of the city outside the park. It is located at the intersection of the old and new urban districts in Shunde, Foshan. Current problems
ACADEMIC INDIVIDUAL WORK / 2016 INSTRUCTOR: Junyu WU LOCATION: Foshan AREA: 0.7 hectares
1. There are many residential houses and shopping malls but not enough public open space around, 2. Existing entrance lack fine design, making fuction unreasonable and streamline in chaos. 3. No parking lot is found around site, which brings inconvenience
to driving visitors. Design strategies In order to ease these conflicts in the entrance plaza of 7000 square meters, I designed a series of large and small courtyards and mutual penetration after the study of multifarious traditional Chinese garden. The courtyards of progressive layers, from ancient to modern times, from sparse to dense, from closed to open, are each with a different state, and together complete the convergence of city renewal.

06 Lingnan Art Museum Design THE site is located by the river of a campus city. It should be kind of open urban stage, containing unlimited events and accidents. Nature unifies the difference betweenn indoor and outdoor, upper level and lower level into the same rhythm.
ACADEMIC TEAM WORK / 2016 ROLE: Lead designer MEMBLE: Quanjiang Li, Qinghua Xu (2) INSTRUCTOR: Yimin Zhu LOCATION: Guangzhou BASE AREA: 2.4 hectares BUILDING AREA: 9880 m2
Essential Elements 1. The buliding should not shelter the river from the citizen. And its scale is supposed to agree with the human flow. 2. The original site is covered with luxuriant as well as neat meadow. It is a pity to wipe out all the green resource. 3. No parking lot is found around site, which brings inconvenience
to driving visitors. Design strategies Considering the support of the lake landscape, I do not turn the museum into a gorgeous and prominent building. Instead, I hide it in the original thick grass in the form of a landscape architecture. At the same time, I try to make the roof of the building to be full of wit and humor. The whole building is like a three-dimensional outdoor viewing platform, harmonious and impressive in the field.

THE museum owns a series of courtyards, from small to big, from clean to flowery. Among the four grassy slopes toward the upstairs, the central one is the longest and narrowest, which creates a path which is full of the fluctuate of light and shadow.
Inside the museum, the slope partition space in a perfect way. The path look towards entrance hall with the interval of a head fall yard. Behind the slope the space is well utilized as a collection room. One side of the path is office room while the other is one exhibition hall. The thick and heavy sense of concrete contrasts with the wooden grid embedded in glass.
The outside is an undulating roof, which serves as a fantastic stage. People are able to participate in a variety of activities while they can enjoy the beauty of the river.
The path complete the conversion of insides and outsides, the architecture and the landscape, the sence of mobile and Immobile and the reality and deficiency.
Other works 1. Phenomenon Drawing of reflection Phenomenon: The solar height angle changes, and the shadow of the tree line changes when it is rejected on the top of the trashcan. Its height is getting smaller and then bigger from dawn to noon and then to dusk. The first time I notice the reflection is that I see the tree’s image on the top of a trashcan. In the beginning, I assume that I wouldn’t able to see the tree once the sun was in back of me. But through observation, I found I could. Why? The solar elevation angle changes the orientation of the sunlight into the tree. It is divided into 6 parts. But once I can see the tree, it means the light after multiple reflection in the tree is limited. This means that each of them has different starting orientation, and through different times of reflection has the same final orientation. Facts: 1. We can see something because it reflects the sun light to our eyes. In this case, the tree reflects the light and then reflect again through the trashcan into my eyes. 2. The range of the solar elevation angle is from NE 0° to NW 0°, which is shown as the upper semicircle. 3. The reflection can be divided into mirror reflection and diffuse reflection. And every light can have multiple reflections, which makes the process complex and only able to be shown in a abstract way. Cause: The solar elevation angle changes the orientation of the sunlight into the tree. And every light can have multiple reflections. The tree reflects the light and then reflect again through the trashcan into my eyes. I am standing in front of the trash can, and the trash can is in front of the tree line. We three keep in line so that I can observe the shadows of the tree line. Effect: Once I can see the tree, it means the light after multiple reflection in the tree is limited. This means that each of them has different starting orientat ion, and through di fferent t imes of reflection has the same final orientation.
