The Great Mosque of Aleppo Renovation

Size: Appro. 8,000 m2

Location: Aleppo, Syria

Type: Individual Academic Work

Duration: April. 12th- June. 5th, 2021

The Umayyad Mosque is the largest mosque at the heart of Aleppo, a UNESCO ancient city in Syria, where war had raged on for five years. Many cultural and historical architectures were damaged and ruined by bombs, leaving numerous bomb craters.

2. Muslims come and entre the mosque at prayer time.

3. Muslims do the ablution by the fountains to clean up their skin.

4. Muslims entre the prayer hall and wait for prayer time.

The lack of fixed parking areas for tools of transport occupies the space belonging to passers-by. Residents construct facilities randomly, which has a huge impact on visual effects. Worn provisions are left in the alleys, bringing about incompatible space utilisation. Hanging spots are not in coordination with historical style of the block. Electric wires interlace in the air, resulting in messy side space. Replacd bricks and tiles make walls and roofs incompatible. Weathered bricks are easy to come off, making the wall shabby.

the reign of Ming Hongwu(1371) King Mingde moved to Jinan and built palace, which covered one third of the total land area in Jinan. and Qing Dynasty Jinan inherited the former form of the city wall, and the ancient city wall made of soil was reconstructed with bricks and stone. During the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1666) Officer Zhou Youde built inspectorate. The original western courtyard was set outside. The Catholicism Episcopal Mansion The Standing Committee of the NPC Building of Simin Ju Stadium Japanese Invasion to China (1937) Japanese army invaded Jinan.

Grandpa Lee's Daily Routine

During rush hour in the early morning, the elderly people getting groceries, parents sending their kids to school and going to work all gather in the alleys.

In the late morning, tourists emerge into the block to pay a visit to historical remains, namely Villa of Tian's Family, Ancient House of Celebrity, etc.

When dusk is around the corner, off-work people carry on community activities to chill out, such as playing the violin, singing, dacing, etc.

Ecosystem Restoration

Size: Appro. 95, 000 m2

Location: Hangzhou Bay, China

Type: Individual Academic Work

Duration: March. 21st, 2021 - May. 27th, 2021

Hangzhou Bay is a substantial port. As time went on, urban construction emerged, bringing contamination to the environment, especially to the water The water of Hangzhou Bay is faced with eutrophication, resulting in algae outbreak and biodiversity reduction in the end. The methodology emphasises the protection of nature and obeys the disciplines that animals survive.
