Vallbona, an isolated neighborhood in Barcelona's northern area belonging to theNou Barris district. The City Council is currently working on an ambitious plan to transform Vallbona into an innovative agroecological hub of metropolitan influence, taking advantage of its physical environment, material and immaterial heritage, and ecological values. The project focuses on developing local characteristics, establishing ecological cycle and designing three interconnected designs. Based on my investigation of the ecological elements of vollbona, I designed twelve scenarios and assigned them to the three sites.

Vallbona is located in a flat area between the Collserola and the Marina mountain range. Road upgrades and new motorways from Barcelona towards the East and West Vallés districts cut off the suburb from the rest of the neighborhood, leaving it isolated and lacking in services. Vallbona has remained a low

The final design results

Suitable program

Site A Agriculture Hub

The site A was going to design an agricultural learning center in an urban setting. The habits and desires of the local population needed to be taken into account. This is because the local agriculture is very well developed and it is a characteristic culture of the area. The design goal is to realize a place where students can learn theoretical knowledge and also learn through practical experiments to revitalize the local characteristics.

Site division

Based on surrounding buildings Building block Following urban unit Covering Ensure sufficient light

Axonometric explosion diagram

Roof

In accordance with the socio-economic situation of the vallbona, the roof is made of a light frame structure that is cheap and easy to build. At the same time, some vegetation climbs on top of the frame, which may attract more birds to stay.

Reading Center

The first level has a reading center and offices for teachers on one side and an activity center on the other, between which is a connecting gallery where one can see the experimental fields below.

Classrooms

The ground floor is mainly the classroom and practice area. The small experimental field is surrounded by classrooms. Students can not only learn knowledge here, but also acquire more agricultural related skills through practice.

Laboratory

The underground floor is the agricultural scientific research center, which is a large experimental field and a laboratory on one side.

Experimental Farmland

Reading

There are many books about agriculture on one side of the library. There are seats on one side. There is plenty of light and air here.

The site of the second phase is a grassland. The project requirements are landscape design and cafe. There is a bridge connecting Vollbona and the surrounding cities on one side of the site, so design a platform to connect with the bridge with ground that can increase the way for people to enter the city. At the same time, the platform provides people with a better vision for sightseeing.

Road planning Extend the original roads

Site B Cafes and Recreation Stairs Connecting the platform with the ground

Platform Connecting the Bridge

Two stairs (3) connect the outside of the site to the first floor, and one stair leads from the ground floor to the first floor. The design of stairs not only ensures the function of walking, but also gives users a rest area. They can also chat and learn here. The central area is the coffee shop and seats. (4)

On the ground floor, there are farmland (5) and two lounges (6) giving visitors a place to rest. At the same time, they can chat and socialize with local people here and learn more about local agricultural culture.

The roof is supported by several strong columns. There is no wall to make the space more open and ensure that the first floor also has a good view. The first floor is connected with the roof by stairs (1) to make the roof usable. There is a large terrace (2) on the roof, which mainly provides visitors with a good view of the whole city. Rest areas and seats are also provided.

The brief of the project is “Learning from the stone architecture”, the site of the project is in Sardinia, Italy, where known for its island's unique Megalithic architectural culture. Megalithic towers known as NURAGHI dating back more than 3500 years

At the beginning of the project, I read a lot of literature about local architecture and extracted local building typologies. In tribute to the local history, the design follows the local building form and is optimised with new architectural technologies I mainly used wool experiment to plan the site, positioning the building areas while also laying out the landscape areas. At the same time, the facade design is optimized according to the environmental analysis of the site. It strive to achieve sustainable, natural and local design.

"Architecture should be reasonable, natural, local, suitable and sustainable."

Phase 02: Inspiration | Local architecture type

Researched the buildings of Nuraghi and summarizing its Typology

Stone tower

Site plan 1-10000

Site plan 1-5000

The site plan in 1-5000 showing the relationship between the sites and the city nearly, which means these city is far away with where people living then when I design the site, I should add functions to attract people to come here.

A NURAGHI is a monumental tower made of huge stones roughly worked. A nuraghe might stand as a single tower like the one in the photo, or several nuraghi might be joined together as a complex with connecting structures and walls. Either form might show remnants of a village in the immediate vicinity.

Many NURAGHI tower have several floors. In this case, there is usally a staircase running around the interior, and each floor is topped with a corbeled dome (a rounded dome made by stacking rocks in circular courses, each course becoming smaller as it inches inward, until it all comes together at the top).

Historical objects

Underground architecture

The architectural language extracted from stone tower architecture includes, form, structure and skylight. These languages are embodied in new ways of construction.

Site plan 1-2000

The site plan in 1-2000 showing the two site opitions and the main road behind these sites

Studying the scale of local historical relics is helpful to design the spatial scale required for the exhibition.

The monument is oriented from north-Northwest to south-Southeast and is composed of three separate parts accurately chiselled: vestibule or atrium, stairwell and tholos hypogeum chamber. The stairwell, in addition to allowing access to the hypogeum chamber and to play an important aesthetic function, allowed to reach the water which had a non-constant level in the various periods of the year.

In the case of Sardinia, it is difficult to connect the two sites by crazy high bridges, but the underground passage is very feasible and reasonable.

MANIFESTO

"Regeneration of stone tower"

the architecture form of Nuraghi is stone buildings, at the ancient time, the reason why they use stone is to defend. Nowadays, the aim is useless, so we could try to use new technology, new planning methods, new structure and new materials to do the architecture. However, we still can learn from Nuraghi and stones, learning the buildings' form, the texture, the logic...

Phase 03: Site planning | Network

Plan the site and define the functional area through programming methods

Wool experiment

The Wool experiment is a architecture algorithm proposed by Frei Otto in 1988, which aims to find the shortest network of paths in the site. "If the straight line between two points is bent and overlapped properly, a new plane combination form will be generated. If it is taken as the unit system of the city, a more experiential urban cell composed of the shortest path will be obtained." In this project, the wool experiment also used to plan the site landscape.

Step 01: Creating the connecting lines

Step 02: Selecting the main lines

Step 03: Putting the buildings by the nodes

Step 04: Replanning the site by tangent lines

Step 06: Adding elements for underground exhibition

Step 08: Landscape zoning and roads planning

Step 09: Merging architecture and landscape

Step 10: Final form and relationship

Phase 05: Construction | Sustainable architecture

Facade detail

The facade is made of a mixture of clay and sand, which is solid and sustainable. The main construction method is to build a simple frame structure and cover it with a mixture of clay and sand. There are no windows on the wall to resist the local high-intensity light radiation, but there are some small holes to ensure indoor ventilation and heat removal.

FLOOR

Supporting detail

The structure is made of steel and serves the function of supporting both the frame structure of the facade and the upper floor slab. But this structure does not only serve as a support, it grips a display case for the historical objects of the NURAGHI.

Phase 06: Performance | Narrative trip Travel route of the whole programme

1. Overall top view

Both sites of the project follow the mode of diffusion, The rest of the area is planned into different sizes of landscape activity areas through wool experiment.

3. Underground Exhibition Space

There are many books about agriculture on one side of the library. There are seats on one side. There is plenty of light and air here.

2. The entrances to the underground

One way of entering the central building is from the underground passage, and this view shows that entrance. At the same time, the central building, the landscape design and the historical heritage in the distance are also in view

4. History Learning Center

Walk out of the underground passage to the central building, where people can admire the Nuraghi historical objects on display and read and learn about the history of Nuraghi in the library on the upper floor

Type: Individual work, Year 2, 03/2021-07/2021

The history of perfume is as old as the history of mankind, so old that no one can be sure how it originated. Ancient people believed that the smoke emitted from burning objects was a link between the spirits and the earth. The English word Perfume originates from the Latin word Perfumum, which means 'to communicate with the gods through the haze' The inspiration for the project came from reading The Epic of Perfume, which refers to the use of perfume as a "bath". The final concept is a combination of sacred ritual and bathing.

Phase 01: History | Re-knowing perfume

Communication in Design from 1500 B.C. to A.D. 1800

1500 B.C.

40 B.C.

Period 1

Perfume originated in ancient Egypt, mainly used to remove the smell of the body, as well as the sacrifices of gods.

Period 2

At that time, people spent a lot of money on making balsam garden plants and softening their hands. After bathing, massage the body with aromatic essential oil to protect the skin in bad environment.

Period 3

During this period, the invention of the distiller made the distillation of the perfume making process greatly improved. The use of perfume has reached a fever stage.

Period 4

During this period, the black death broke out in Europe. In order to prevent infection, people seldom took a bath. People use perfume to cover their bodies.

Period 5

During this period and after, people were crazy about perfume. Perfume has stepped into industrial production, and there have been many brands and stores such as Guerlain and Chanel.

Phase 02: Programme | Ritual & Bathing

The combination of ancient and modern

The combination of incense burning rituals and baths yielded inspiration for the use of hot underground springs to activate the fragrance of the spices. Moreover, the water vapour from the hot spring water is imaginatively identical to the smoke produced by the incense burning.

SPA POOL DRESSING

Phase 04: Construction | Find spices and springs

The building will be built around the underground spring Roof

The main building process was to first find the underground spring, which was used to define the location of the central sacred bath. After this, build four passages connecting the underground space to the surface then build the core support column. In the core columns at the four corners, there are stairs leading to the upper floor. Additional, a number of classical supporting columns have been added to create a sacred atmosphere. Finally, build some auxiliary bathing and dressing spaces around the central area.

Step 01

"Looking for underground springs"

Instruments such as water detectors are used to determine the location of the central bathing place.

Step 02

"Channel to the ground"

After determining the location of the underground bath, dig the ground and build staircases to the central bath.

Step 03

"Sacred bath"

Many terrazzo steps are built in the central bathing place to provide sitting place. Build censers to burn spices. Bring a sacred space atmosphere.

Step 04

"Add support column"

Classical columns and four huge supporting structures are placed to connect the two floors of the building.

Step 05

"Roof frame"

Place the roof and the structure of the floor which is grid frame

Step 06

"Auxiliary space around"

Build enclosed corridors for meditation, dressing and shower.

Phase 05:

The viewpoint shows the central bathing area of the perfume bath. Burn the spices collected from the desert and put them into the spring in the center. The fragrances emanate mysteriously from the boiling spring water. Water vapour fills the space and light shines on the incense burner through the open window at the top. The gods seem to be in sight.

The Living Dam

"The ultimate understanding of propitious winds and rains in Chinese philosophy is ‘Backer has mountain, rely on water draft’."

Upstream Village by the Min River is a problematic village in Meishan City, Sichuan Province, China. The natural environment in the area has been gradually deteriorating due to the discharge of sewage from its surrounding factories. And with urbanisation and modern development, most of the local young people have gone out to work, leaving the local children and elderly lacking in companionship and communication. Therefore, eco-hydrology and a vibrant community are necessary here.The project "The living dam" combines the dam with other architecture programmes to create a community on the river. The design aims to break the stereotypical image of dams. By combining the programmes of agriculture, civil, commercial and other functions, the project creates a more vibrant and sustainable living community.

Inspiration from analysis

According to the site analysis, there are many food processing plants and chemical plants around this upstream village, and the emissions of these plants pollute the local natural environment. According to the survey of aborigines, there are many empty nesters and children, lack of social vitality, and office workers lack housing and economic security. Therefore, it is very important to rebuild the ecological environment, add living space and improve social vitality. Combined the local Dam with ecological device, hydrology can be repaired, natural resources can be purified. The residential houses can be combined with the Dam, then the housing spaces can be increased.

The architectural design logic established by the analysis can be outlined as creating more comfortable living spaces, building natural landscapes and hydrological facilities.

DESIGN THE MAIN PROGRAMME OF LIVING DAM

The main purpose of this project is to create more living space through the combination of residential houses and the dam. At the same time, it increases the functional diversity of the site and follows the concept of sustainable development to do ecological design which can solve local environmental problems.

Contribution: The whole process

DRM Psychological Counseling Center is an interior design project. Psychology is related to the subconscious and dreams. In this increasingly anxious era, psychological counseling needs to create a fitted place to activate the negative memories and emotions in our subconscious which are closed by self-protection mechanism, forming a secret and safe cooperative relationship, so that we can be more relaxed and confident in the facing ourselves and the future. The design creates a series of small spaces with a sense of balanced and endless boundaries by placing the vault covering and transparent poche walls within the limited and featureless square box. This imaginative space in all dimensions is like the unconscious mind that we need to be seduced and released. In an increasingly uncertain world where each individual faces an increasingly uncertain future, the energy of faith we need comes not from the outside, but from the spiritual world of each individual's inner self.

In the process

Lotte is a world of glaciers. Fortunately, people found that the underground red crystal is the energy source. People invented artificial intelligence to mine. In order to better excavate scattered red crystals, people will be asked to excavate them by hand in some places. The society is still feudal, and the king is very fatuous. Reynoso is the prince here. He was sent here to mine because of his disagreement with his father. In the process of the prince's rebellion, he needed to fight wild monsters to get equipment, and finally he had a showdown with his father, the king. After that, he needs to find fire crystals to restore the planet's ecology.
