PEARL OYSTERSCAPE
Pearling is an important maritime heritage in Tai Po, Hong Kong. The pearl industry declined in the 1970s due to urban development and overfishing etc. Although pearl activities have been restarted recently with government funds, the pearl culture heritage is almost lost in our city. There is an urgency to protect this valuable heritage. Besides, urban and tourism development, as well as climate change, are destroying our marine and coastal ecosystem. Therefore, this thesis provides a retroactive scenario to respond to the urgencies through re-design the pearl industry from the past and proposing an alternative future. New architectural typologies [live-work and educational spaces] and multi-functional infrastructure are proposed as the basis to from the new Pearl Oysterscapes in potential sites, imagining it as an ecological and cultural promoter to facilitate the pearl farming development in sustainability. The marine environment and the pearl cultural heritage can be protected and conserved through this prototype.

SYMBIOSIS THROUGH PERMACULTURE
Chi Ma Wan Shap Long Village used to be a self-sufficient village through agriculture and aquaculture, which also provide habitats for various animals. However, due to the disappearance of farming and the impact of housing development and deforestation, animal habitats and biodiversity are reduced in the village.
Moreover, abandoned water buffalos now become trouble for villagers, they damage village plants and facilities during foraging.
Meanwhile, some villagers wish to grow some foods but the abandoned farming area is occupied by buffalos. To develop a sustainable future for both humans and animals, this project aims to design an architecture to support re-cultivation activities, using farming as a tool to achieve biodiversity protection while allowing humans and animals to get their resources. A mutual benefit can be created.
In addition, this agricultural community centre is a place for villagers, farmers and visitors to gather and share. The farming, education and cultural activities can revitalise village identity. Agricultural Community Centre
The architecture is close to the village's main road for visitors and villagers to access the site. The architecture follows the existing farmland grid and is separated and expanded on the ground. Corridors, engawa and ramps linked the whole architecture for people to walk through.
View decks on the roof and engawa on the ground floor provide seatings for people to view the surroundings.

Children Art Museum is a combination of a playground and a contemporary art museum.
The Ouseburn Valley is located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. Nowadays, it transforms from a desolated industrial area into a cultural and creative quarter. Although Ouseburn Valley is a creative and cultural cluster, it lacks public facilities for children to develop their creativity. Therefore, Children Art Museum provides an ideal learning space for children learning art and also improves community development.
THE MUSEUM AS A PLAYGROUND
Project Type: Museum Location: Ouseburn, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Instructor: Dr. Yun Gao and Mr. Bush Jonathon Children Art Museum
Orientation and circulation always play a key role for visitors exploring a museum. Hence, in this project, the main components of the playground, slides, ramps and stairs, are used as the main elements to connect different exhibition zone and workshops. An interesting circulation is created to stimulate children’s curiosity and encourage them to explore art. In the end, children can learn the art while playing in the museum.
SITE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT FORM The form consists of four elements: stair/ ramp/ slide, sculpture, access to the site (X-cross pattern) and site-level different. It represents children's playground, art and response to the site context. + = X-crossSculptureStair/ Ramp/ Slide Site level different Form + + MASSING MODEL • Analyzing vehicle & pedestrian movement • Find out the possible access to the site • Link the site and the upper pedestrian road through building roof • Building height is affected by the street level During the summer time, direct sunlight is blocked by the overhanging roof. While in winter, solar radiation can enter the building. Openable windows are designed on the NE curtain walls and triangle courtyard's curtain walls.

Different types of arts are provided in the museum:
Considering to design a museum for children, the linear procession exhibition space is devised. This space arrangement has a clear direction for children to experience the museum by themselves. Moreover, linear procession space is like a journey, children learn art through exhibitions and finally, they can make their own artworks at the workshop.

• Natural Ventilation
Curtain walls are designed at the building's South-East façade and the triangle courtyard. During the summer time, direct sunlight can be blocked by an overhanging roof. While in winter, solar radiation can enter the building, and its solar energy is absorbed and stored in concrete slabs and walls, which helps to control the temperature in the building effectivity and provide human comfort.
LOBBY SUNLIGHT (SUMMER TIME)
In Newcastle, the summer is short while the winter is long, chilly, and windy; and it is partly cloudy year-round. In order to provide human comfort in the building, several environment strategies are considered and designed.
• Walls providing insulation (Rigid board insulation)

ART VILLAGE
On the ground floor, those housings are arrayed like a maze for the public to discover art and design through exhibition walls, artworks, sculptures and workshops on the site. They can walk into the workshops and communicate with the artists/designers. It also provides an opportunity for artists/designers to sell their works. The upper floor is a living area, the shared common area designed for private house residents and artists/designers to communicate.
Location: Holbeck Urban Village, Leeds, UK
Project Type: Mixed -Housing-PrivateUseHousingwithWorkshops
Holbeck Urban Village (HUV) is a mixed-use urban renewal area located in the south of Leeds, England. The village consists of heritages, factories and some buildings in poor condition or under-utilized. The Leeds City Council aims to establish new creative industries in Holbeck. Therefore, the end-users of this project are artists, designers and people who are interested in art. Art Village is a mix-use residential area for artists/ designers to share their experiences and learn from each other. Meanwhile, the private housing residents [layman]can learn and explore art from the artists/ designers. It is a place for people's communication, investigation and interaction.
Most people live in Holbeck are single> couples > families. Thus, three types of buildings are designed on the site. The private housing and housing with workshop are separated while using a shared common area to connect two housings.

As the high permeability of the area, double glazing system is used as the workshops facade while a staircase is located in the middle of the building. People can explore the workshop's activities through the glass skins. The window openings are related to the scatter pattern.
