EXPERIMENTAL EMERGENCY HOUSING Urban Design in Grotão, Paraisópolis, Brazil

Academic Work (MArch.) Group Work 2017.01 - 2017.04 Tutor: Maria Arquero De Alarcon, Ana Paula Pimentel Walker Site: Grotão, Paraisópolis, São Paulo, Brazil Collaborator: Xiyao Hu Contribution: Leader in design, Research, 3D model, Rendering, Diagrams, Physical model

Introduction: Environmental emergencies are one of the major issues in the Grotão, one of the areas with the highest concentration of vulnerable populations in Paraisópolis. The frequent floodings, fires and landslides destroy shelters, inflate the informal housing market and worsen the residents' living quality. The current housing policy couldn't meet the basic needs of community. This project provide a flexible and mixed-use emergency housing with a collection of amenities, infrastructures and open spaces for the affected people as well as the existing neighbourhood. With a temporary living and a permanent structure, this project aims to replace the rental voucher system and offer an alternative option for the current housing policy.

Fire Emergency in Paraisópolis Environmental emergencies are one of the major issues in the Grotão, one of the areas with the highest concentration of vulnerable populations in Paraisópolis. Flooding, landslides,and devastating fires are frequent and take with them the modest shacks that populate the steep slopes. The endless cycle of construction, destruction and reconstruction happens at a high cost, impacting people’s quality of life and making evident the lack of municipal resources to address the problem.

[Plaza under the Tree House in Normal Condition]

Mixed-use Housing with Infrastructures

SĂŁo Paulo City system of social rental vouchers for use in the private market only provides a temporal, inadequate fix into the much larger problematic of environmental emergencies and the housing deficit. Rather than seeing the solution to fire and flooding as a cluster of provisional shelters, this project is characterized as mixed-use housing with generous collective amenities combined with social services, open spaces and infrastructure to offer temporary relocation, and to meet the basic needs of residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; living.

Residential Buildings and Landscape Design in Detroit, U.S.

Academic Work (MArch.) Group Work 2017.09 - 2017.12 Tutor: Craig Borum Claudia Wigger Site: New Center, Detroit, MI. U.S. Collaborator: Xin Shen, Dailin Zhao Contribution: Site research, Schemetic Design, Structure, Facade, 3D Model, Revit Model, Rendering, Diagrams, Physical Model

Introduction: In this project, we aim to solve the fooding issue in our site, provide more green and open spaces, create a city life of better quality, and at the same time, we use the towers and landscape as water collection and recycleing equipments to create a sustainable residential area. Water-related programs and common spaces on each floor are carefully designed within the building, so that the water could flowing down from the top of the building, which contributes to the water recycling as well as a unique spatial quality. As a result, there is a spiral figure on the facades.

Urban Situation

The project could develop along the railway, provide more green spaces and connect to the municiple urban project: Link Detroit.

Landscape Concept Under the circumstances that there is a large area in Detroit that has the same fooding issue that caused by the railway, our project can be used in a large urban scale. So, the landscape design is connected with the railway, which can be extended to wherever there are railines. Beside the urban impact, the landscape of the project also has the function of collecting and filtrating rainwater, and providing good quality of water-related landscape. The water pounds on the site and water tanks underground will hold the water that filtrated and reused by the residence.

Facade Detail Under the circumstance that the tower is quite a dominant figure on the site, we try to minimize the area of the windows and bring more plants to the building on the purpose of trying to be friendly to the surroundings. We add operable shading devices on the facade, which contributes to the indoor lightening condition and decreases light pollution. Also, we try to find a balance between good viewpoints and energy saving. Therefore, balconies and large windows of the common spaces are well designed for the residents.

INTENSIVE THEATER All Rooms, No Corridors

Academic Work (MArch.) Individual Work 2018.01 - 2018.04 Tutor: John McMorrough Site: Genoa, Italy.

Introduction: The project is an exploration into the concept of expanding such interactive experience from the theater to the whole architecture. Based upon previous research on the layering space within the musical “Swing Time”, the thesis expands the “layering” concept, exploring the architecture composed of all rooms without corridors to create an intensive dramatic experience of multiple performances. The result is not a hierarchy. Instead, the process that people walking through the maze-like building is their own individual showtime. In such a theater, there is no fixed space for the auditorium or the stage. The interactive performance engages audience members directly, brings them into the same playing spaces as the performers, obliterating any boundaries that separate the audience from the performers. When passing through rooms after rooms with performers, the dimension of performing spaces is changing, the roles of performer and the “visitor” are switched and the hierarchy between the stage and auditorium is broken down.

[View from the Back] [View from the Back] See a wide open space

Sight Analysis of "Swing Time" [From Layers to the Maze]

In a number of my precedent, the musical "Swing Time"(1936), the stage was devided into several layers with diagonal boards. When the boards was moving back one by one, the stage was opened to the audiences layer by layer and the relative performances poped out. During the performance, the camera was pushing forward through these layers continuously and therefore created an abundant atmosphere of immersive performance. The project explores a concept of such interactive experience of the play from 2D layers to 3D maze-like theater, from an elevation to a space. In the project, the spaces are overlapped on each other from various directions and expand people's sense of the scales.

[Narrative Poster of the Lobby]

The poster provides an narrative version of the concept. The continuously-changed perspectives of the rooms, the reversed ceilings, floors and walls break down the hierachy of the lobby. There are no fixed stage or seating in this space, people could be the performers and the audiences at the same time. This space helps to break the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fourth wallâ&#x20AC;? that traditionally separates the performer from the audience both physically and verbally.

ONOMETRIC

[Immersive Walking Experience] The whole immersive theater is like a "performance box", which is extruded from the perimeter line of the site. The traditional theater and the alternative one are located on the different sides of the building and are connected by the "red box" in the central part. When walking into the building from the entrance in the "red box" and following the three-dimensional walking route, the visitors could have a chance to experience various spatial scales and qualities within the lobby, the theaters, the restaurant, the gallery and the workshops without clear boundaries. Such immersive walking experience provides visitors with a sense of congested performance, like a dream within a kaleidoscope.

RECALL THE TRADITION Old-Town Teahouse Design

Individual Work. Extracurriculum Work Private Program, Architecture Design. August - September 2015 Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China

With plenty of crossed alleys, Yangzhou is a historical city full of traditional culture atmosphere. Located in the centre of the old city area, the project tries to interpret Chinese tradition through modern architectural language and create Chinese culture atmosphere to arouse peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory of those old times.

[Site Analysis] The site is located in the center of old-city area in Yangzhou, only 300 meters away from Ge-yuan, which is the most famous Chinese garden in this city. Surrounded by local traditional dwelling houses, the Tea House connects a main street and a meandering alley together, plays an important role in transition space. Based on its location and context, the project aims to plant semi-publicity into the privacy, transite prosperity in the main street into the tranquility in the meandering path. Corresponding to the Chinese cultural spirit of Ge-yuan, the project applys modern architectural language in limited space to recur the unique quality of Chinese traditional garden's field.

STABILITY & MOBILITY Yitian Village Primary School Design

Individual Work. Academic Work Architecture Design March - June, 2013 (6th Semester) Futian District, Shenzhen, China Tutor Yang Zhao (CAUP)

Response to the rapid development of Shenzhen city, schools in Futian district are semblable and ignoring the outdoor spaces. Cultivating the interests and releasing the nature play the most important role in children's school life. The school is composed of stable and flowing space layers, with maximum preserved ground designed for multiple activities.

[School Evolution] Chinese ancient people, like Confucius, tended to teach students in nature, which combined study and activity spaces together to create a relaxed and inspired study atmosphere. With the development of school buildings, education space was gradually separated from the nature while outdoor space was weakened, even ignored. Chinese modern primary schools share the same characteristics that children are trapped in classrooms. Such indifferent and rigid outdoor spaces are contrary to children’s lively, active and curious nature. Nature Study

[Concept] To eliminate the monotonous and indifferent outdoor space as well as to break the rigid relationship between studying and playing court, this primary school’s space is basically divided into two layers: the upper study spatial layer and the lower activity one. This space typology frees the ground spaces to replace the traditional introverted activity court, which builds up close and flexible connection among various courts and makes activities in the nature possible. The stable upper study rooms could have a dialogue with activities below without any negative interaction.

perspective sketches: The upper study space and lower activity space. Curved walls are correponding to the trees and create flexible floating outdoor areas.

To teach under a tree has been recommended since ancient China, while the smooth single-curved walls are corresponding to the existing trees in the site. Positions and tendencies of curved walls are related to trees and three main courts’ positions. As a result, those floating spaces on the both sides of the wall not only communicate to each other, but maintain their certain mysteries. In children’s perspective, those curved walls provide more possibilities of interesting events than straight ones . With the alternation of seasons, experiences of trees and floating spaces are also changing relatively.

Floating blocks with arc-walls provide abundant and flexible places for multiple outdoor activites.

We could go to the playground from here.

I can see what's happening on the playground even in the teacher's yard.

Teachers have a private and relaxed yard to discuss academic affairs.

We could also chatting on the platform just outside the classrooms during the break.

Playing in the shades or running in the sunshine, just follow your heart!

Space Study: Two spatial layers

ensure that study and activity space not only have their specific boundaries but share a strong connection as well. Outside the boxes, arc walls help to define different yards with various thesises and enrich the spatial experiences.

A relaxed reading platform connected with class blocks! Also easy to get to the library. Could play basketball or just have a rest to enjoy the city view!

We can see different grades' activities on the corridors.

I could read books in the library or do this on the reading platform.

So many kinds of activities kids can do on the lawn. Also, it's interesting to see them in this perspective.

Alone this main road, I could go any yards I want.

PARASITIC BUILDING IN CITY Reuse the Negative Space Between Skyscrapers

Team Work. Academic Work Theme Studio Project. Urban Design. September - December 2013（Semester） Futian District, Shenzhen, China Tutor: Jia Yu, Weimin Gong Collaborator: Chuchun Cheung, Yuhao Zheng, Qiyang Lin Contribution: Research, Concept Design, Diagram Drawing, Physical Modeling Photogragh, 3D Modeling (assist) Drawings: Shiyu Wu & Yuhao Zheng

What would be the city like when all of the land is used up in the future? How could human beings seek for more living spaces on such a crowded planet with the booming population? Based on the present situation of city planning in Shenzhen, which builds plenty of skyscrapers with low density, we design a new typology of highrise which could “float in the sky” with the structure support from the existing buildings. By making the use of negative spaces between the existing buildings, the parasitic buildings provide a brand new option for city’s future development and improve people’s vertical life experience.
