PROLOGUE

The modernization of cities has brought new challenges to urban design. Urbanism could become a type of ecological modernity driven by “mutation”. Like the mountain fire to natural metabolism, a mutation in city is a process to ecological modernity. Redevelopment could be wisely used in bringing vigor and vitality to culture buildings, channeling recourses in special regions, reflecting the relationship between human and nature. The fast development pace of China making urban design here vital to every city. From dense population in the city to scarce resources in vast land, the cultural and geographical characteristics of China call for a creative and innovative urban design. China is not the only country that seeking change, so as other countries in the world. Countries in poetic Europe, passionate Latin America and other regions can all benefit from the design that combines convenient infrastructure with cultural identities. Ecological modernity could refine the city through proper supply. By taking advantage of the opportunity of infrastructure renewal, the city can become young and open. From integrating metro line to cultural village, transforming the city wall to a culture identity, to introducing infrastructure of water system in ecodemonstration project in Inner Mongolia and connecting business, industry and living together with the same landscape, my works aim to explore the new expression of city and its identity as a culture symbol, a supportive community and the future human home.

EXEMPLARY VILLAGE a Campus in Arid Region

Site: Hexigten, Inner Mongolia Duration: Apr.-Jul. 2020 Instructor: Wentao Wang, Qingsong Han Collaborator: Qiuya Di Role: Group Field Research, 100% Conceptual Design, 90% Detailed Design

Hexigten of inner Mongolia, on the border between the grassland and the desert, is the last oasis. As a result of groundwater exhaustion, towns and villages will suffer severe water crisis, no less than that of North Africa. Rather than designing a specific object as an architecture, this eco-demonstration village project proposes a new morphology for urbanization there in form of multi-functional water infrastructure system which is self-supporting with rain. As the annual precipitation is concentrated in heavy rains in several summer days, the system needs to collect the stormwater in 60 hours for the 200 residents to make a living in the whole year. Currently this area is full of spontaneous housing occupation, which suffer from the danger of landslide and the lack of efficient use of water. So this multi-functional infrastructural system performs as a concrete base that prevents soil from sliding, a rainwater collection system that fulfill the basic requirement for life, a pipe system that provides water and electricity, a transportation system that helps people to walk and a living system that enable residents to live there.

WATER SOURCE

WATER USAGE

More than half of the precipitation cannot be utilized because of evaporation. Therefore, the available water resources are mainly surface water and shallow groundwater. The river is shallow and the bed is wide, which contributes to evaporation to some extent.

Farmland flood flooding phenomenon still exists, canal irrigation water loss is large, effective supply rate is low. Due to the demand of grassland animal husbandry, the proportion of ecological water is relatively high. I think the main problem is that water is not used in the right place.

NODE DESIGN The node design of the building makes it an adaptive building that can be smart without too much human intervention. The base is hot and rainy in summer. The collected rainwater can not only pull down the bottom of the bowl to close the top curtain, but also improve the ventilation in summer and generate diffuse reflected light. Winter opens coping curtain, reduce ventilated, notice heat preservation heat insulation.The use of water stored in the summer heralds the arrival of winter. Physical model

When there is less rain, the pull rod is located on the upper side, and the lower layer has more light

During the rainy season, the amount of water stored in the bowl increases dramatically

NATURE AS CORE

Wuhan Shipyard Brownfield Renovation Urban Design

Site: Wuhan, Hubei Duration: Sep.-Dec. 2020 Instructor: Haoyu Dong Collaborator: Jin Yi

As an old industrial base in China, Wuhan is one of the six comprehensive industrial bases in mainland China. Now, it has formed an industrial system with complete categories and strong supporting capacity. After more than a century of development. Wuhan has formed a comprehensive industrial base with metallurgy, machinery, automobile and textile as the pillar and food, chemical industry, electronics, light industry, medicine and building materials as the auxiliary wings, becoming the largest industrial city with strategic significance in central China and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Wuhan, China's old industrial base, is home to many shipyards and manufacturing plants, which have contributed a lot to China's development. The place we chose was a big old shipyard that brought nature in and brought a new way of life. To demonstrate the integration of nature and city in high density urban environment.This relationship of integration is exemplary and leading. Urban skyline

WATERFRONT OLD INDUSTRIAL SITES The base is located on the east bank of the Yangtze River, close to Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, Wuhan Shipyard and the famous scenic spot Yellow Crane Tower. However, due to the fact that this area was originally an old industrial area, mostly old buildings, which were gradually abandoned. However, this area is located in the central area, with very good traffic conditions.

SITE PLAN The base is divided into three areas, commercial, residental and industrial. Their function are based on the original functions of the building here. The whole design places the park in the center of the site, as the core landscape permeates into other functional areas, bringing vitality to the site. However, this is also based on the opportunity of the terrain conditions, because the mountains on the east side of the site extend into the site and bring greening to the site, so the center of the site is naturally divided.

SITE DESIGN AXONMETRIC This axonmetric shows that the site is located by the river. Three different functional areas of the building surround the central park. The infrastructure affects its development and layout.

NODES IN THREE DIFFERENT ZONES

Residential Zone

Industrial Zone

CANALS AND URBAN TYPOLOGIES

The residential building volume is relatively flat, with a high degree of integration with the green park, and a large space is the public space serving the residents. The buildings are grouped together to form courtyards that distinguish public and semi-public Spaces.

There are many tall buildings in the business district, so the multi-level transportation system forms a rich interrelationship. Set a sunken plaza to gather people, the ground floor business and the upper office building are designed for different people, to maximize the use of space.

The public buildings are transformed from the original industrial buildings, using the longspan structure of the original buildings to achieve the space requirements of the existing buildings..

RESIDENTIAL ZONE SECTION The residential area is close to the river, so residents can play around the river, enjoy the cool and take a walk. In summer, the river is also conducive to improving the local microclimate.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN

INDUSTRY ZONE SECTION

The landscape river extends into the side of the building and introduces nature into a new way of life. The critical interface of the building is relatively open and reintroduces nature into the building.

Public buildings close to the river will create different exhibition atmosphere. For example, passing through a piece of water before entering the museum will make people feel quiet before entering the museum.

CANALS AS PERDESTRIAN NETWORK The canal are not serve as a static waterbody, but also create a vibrant perdestrain path which connected the entrance of the building, curise ship station, urban plaza, and waterfront promenades. The water then serves as a public resource that not only provides water intimate public space but also reshape people’s life and work routine. The trusses left over from the local industry exist as gallery Bridges connecting the buildings on both sides. The trusses left over from the local industry exist as gallery Bridges connecting the buildings on both sides. Such channels can also improve regional microclimates during hot summer months.

CENTRAL PARK Central Park is the geometric center of the whole area, providing a waterfront landscape space, which is shared by the surrounding residential, commercial and industrial areas, forming a common regional identity. This perspective shows the intersection of the industrial transformation area and the Central Park.Waterscape can not only guide people's activities, but also effectively activate the space. A large urban park can not only serve the surrounding neighborhoods, but also attract tourists and people from the surrounding area, which can activate the surrounding businesses and improve economic efficiency.

TOURISM COMPLEX

Culture r c hContemporary itecture Culture Architecture Fit A into Lifestyle

Site: Xi’an, Shaanxi Duration: Sep.-Dec. 2019 Instructor: Jing Chen, Yueyan Li, Yalan Chen Individual Work Role: Group Field Research, 100% Conceptual Design, 100% Detailed Design

Xi’an is a large inland city in China which is rich in cultural tourism resources. The precipitation of Chinese splendid culture has left a great deal of historical heritage in the ancient. In that way, Xi’an is also called 3D history museum. The cultural relics in Xi’an are not only rich and unique, but also complete and systematic. How to integrate cultural architecture into contemporary life is a challenge that this historic city will face in the future. Because culture has two sides, on the one hand, it is the reference and basis of our design, on the other hand, it also makes us carry a heavy burden. This project is to explore the balance between the two, so that cultural architecture can not only convey cultural significance but also adapt to contemporary life. Taiping Village, a typical example, is located next to the big wild goose pagoda which is a world cultural heritage site. Due to the rising land price and the height control of buildings in the historic heritage area, there are no developers willing to step in without adequate rewards. At this point, integrating the building with infrastructure becomes the entry point of the project.

TIME LINE OF BIG GOOSE PAGODA AREA

Peace village can’t be found in satellite images in the early 1980s when it was farmland. The villagers were migrated from villages nearby. When Peace village was built,the surrounding environment was still desolate.So,at that time,the problem of follow-up tourism development was not considered.And the current goal for peace village is to reintegrate as the surrounding area is no longer farmland.From the development of the last 20 years,the types of new buildings are gradually shifting from archaized commercial streets to commercial complexes. In 2019, the village in the city was gradually demolished by the government. Standing at such a historical juncture, the future of Taiping Castle has unlimited possibilities.

Peace Village

Yongxing Fang

On November 20, 2019, a fire broke out in Peace village but the fire engine can’t enter because of the narrow street, which aroused many people's concern and exposed the safety problem of living in peace village.Such an inhuman living environment in urban villages not only does not have a good living environment but also threatens people's life and property safety。 The root cause of urban villages lies in the dual economic structure of urban and rural areas. With the in-depth development of urbanization, rural areas are gradually surrounded by urban construction, forming more and more urban villages. These urban villages are often incompatible with the surrounding environment. And then, most villages have no arable land, and farmers have lost their means of production, but still retain their identity as farmers, shifting their income from farming to collecting rent.

From top to bottom, the buildings are hotels, businesses and subways, with decentralized functions in the vertical dimension to meet each other's needs. The subway connects the building more closely with city.

INFRASTRUCTURE+ Infrastructure has a strong urban functional attribute. However, when cultural architecture and infrastructure are combined, infrastructure is endowed with more cultural values and connotations, which makes it not only a cold tool, but also a cultural symbol leading contemporary life.

CULTURAL BUILDING Combined with the layout of Li Fang system in tang Dynasty, the architectural Style on the ground not only enables people to see cultural symbals such as sloping roof, but also recreates the living experience of Tang Dynasty in spatial perception. In addition, the building is relatively intgrated with the surrounding environment, with a unified style. The sloping roof becomes a continuous roof tour line.

CONTEMPORARY LIFESTYLE The double height design helps more people to enter the underground commercial space. Plants can be oranged in combination with underground commercial space, which will not make the space as boring as traditional underground commercial space. Vertilation and lighting are also optimized. The core tube is marked with words to help people identify the location inside the building.

GATE OF THE CITY WALL

a Museum at the Corner of the Town Wall

Site: Xi’an, Shaanxi Duration: Sep.-Dec. 2018 Instructor: Chao Liu Individual Work Role: Group Field Research, 100% Conceptual Design, 100% Detailed Design

In ancient times, the wall was built to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies. However, under the contemporary background, the function of the wall gradually collapsed and the symbol of culture was constantly enhanced. Even when the new China was just founded, the wall was once on the verge of being torn down. Today, the city wall is like a dividing line, separating the inner city from the outer city. The height and volume of the buildings are very different. There are gates in the southeast and northwest of the city wall, but there are no gates at the corner of the city wall, which means that the traffic is very inconvenient for residents at the corner of the city wall. They need to go around for a long way to reach the neighboring city gate and get out of the city. Therefore, the utilization efficiency of the park outside the city wall is reduced, and the two green Spaces inside and outside the city wall near the site are also divided into two parts because of the city wall, which cannot be integrated. It makes sense to combine the museum here to create a pedestrian passage connecting the inside and outside of the wall.

The relationship between the city wall and the building

From 1911 to 1949 throughout the Republic of China period, the city wall of Xi'an was not repaired on a large scale. During this period, four gates were added to the original four gates, namely Wushu Gate, Yuxiang Gate, Jiefang Gate, and Zhongshan Gate for the convenience of citizens' air defense and evacuation.

During the Qing Dynasty, many governors of Shaanxi carried out repairs to the city wall. The largest one occurred between 17811786. 1374s Construction

After 1949 , with the continuous advancement of urbanization, the urban population rapidly.

1911 to 1949

Xi'an city wall was built on the basis of the inner city wall of Tang Dynasty. According to the literature, the west wall and south wall built in the Ming Dynasty were extended by using the wall of the former imperial city of Tang Dynasty.

After1949

In the 1980s, Xi'an launched a vigorous city wall restoration project (style restoration). Hollow holes in the walls were filled one by one. At the same time, the interiors of some sections of the city wall were restored as "cavities", and their internal spaces were used as offices.

Newly Built

1980s

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, another ten gates were opened successively, which can be roughly divided into three groups according to their names.

HISTORICAL EVENT The city walls and gates of Xi 'an were not like this when they were built in the Ming Dynasty. In ancient times, the main meaning of the city wall was to protect the city. However, with the development of the city nowadays, it will be an interesting topic to know what kind of attitude the city wall should take in peacetime.

The area of house Type A is small, which reduces the strong division of space by walls. The space is limited by furniture or something more flexible, striving to increase the sense of indoor transparency and increase the visual area of the house.

In response to the fast metabolism around the building, the design also takes into account the future demand in the future. The time can only meet the development demand of the post-apartment era, rather than the invariable urban giant structure.

This is a special material, it is the exact opposite of the eternal memorial material of concrete, it is like a flower, it is ephemeral, when it leaves, it will turn into water, it will not bring any damage to nature. In fact, this design is to explore the perception that snow can bring to people. Snow can absorb sound, so in the snow, everything is quiet and only the sound of stepping on the snow. The canyon-like design makes people can't see the inside of the snow block, but once they

enter, they will find a different world. We used a scooping technique during the construction process, so the excavated snow was deposited at the entrance to guide pedestrians. In the process of putting it into use, we found that children are the most curious about this kind of thing, and often chase and play in it.
