Urban Planning
ABSTRACT Shenzhen, southern city of China, has charmed the futuristic generation due to thriving economic fortune and therefore, a significantly increased rate in population growth has been projected each year. A big ratio of migrants to Shenzhen are poor people from rural areas with limited resources, education and industrial skills; and hence, barely fit in the urban lifestyle. This amalgam of various cultures co-existing together has faded Shenzhen’s own distinctive architectural and cultural peasant heritage by transforming it into a diversified multicultural metropolitan city, nonetheless, life standards of migrant workers stays lower. This research intends to use the existing environmental advantages, infrastructures and programs in combination with traditional Chinese and modern architectures to design a fully functional neighborhood for the working class migrants from rural areas. An environmental and human friendly network will be developed by relocating and reconfiguring socioeconomic cluster based on the available resources and applying minimal changes to the geographical features. The network and neighborhood together will serve in both macro and micro aspects by educating and improving the adaptability of the migrants and their future generations. Facilitating and benefiting the growing working class is mandatory for the substantial development in the economy as well as culture of Shenzhen.
RESEARCH & TARGET Shenzhen Port city in South end of China, ďŹ rst special economic zone ne in China.

DISTRICT RATIONALE Guangming District Evaluating all 10 districts in Shenzhen, we focused on districts with more open space available, a solid infrastructure, and ones closer to the international airport. It then came down to the Guangming District because of better movement from up North to Hong Kong to the South. As supported dense industrial and manufacturing infrastructure already in place. After focusing on these aspects, we chose the Guangming District is suitable to locate the prototype for the following reasons: - Great transportation network - SuďŹƒcient amount of open space - Close to the airport and major ports

Through graphic interpretation of existing infrastructure and natural conditions, Guangming district proves feasible for development in re conďŹ guring the socioeconomic segregation within the region. The open spaces indicate lack of construction and ambient space for construction due to a slope of 15%, avoiding ood zones and optimum for pedestrian movement. 1 km 1 mi

In most societies, working class family structure includes kids, parents that work, and elders that are retired. The parents need to go to work, so we chose a space with bus stops and subway stops, kids need to go to school so we chose a place with education within a mile, and also older people can go to local shops and cultural spaces. These three things considered as necessary part of life can aďŹ&#x20AC;ect the living quality of the neighborhood in a long term run. 1 km

Previous research shows there are three zones that can offer the best living convenience. The red mapped blocks are still under low traffic flow which have better assessment for development. From existing migration patterns into Guangming District, there are two distinctive living conditions within the urban tissue. Pinned between the roots of old traditions and the encroachment of new urban development there is the rich cultural enclaves of the Hu-tong’s mixed use environment, as well as the urban villages of tightly clustered micro story residency towers. The two conditions are distinctively disconnected within the urban fabric, with the aim of the better the existed condition.

Sidewalk Corridor
Inspired by a traditional Qilou structure, is the typical building style in Guangdong Province, structure is features a connected open corridor on the ground floor. Above the retail, floors and roofs are often flat with open terrace for residential balconies. Qilou is designed for both residential and commercial uses, they are similar in style and functions to the shophouses of Southeast Asia, which are reserved for small scale commercial use. The weather in Shenzhen is wet and rainy. The open porch allows shops to operate at any time of day or weather. This goes back to how Shenzhen was created, through business and industry. The structure allows visible signage for each store to be hung, the vibrant sign draw customers in creates a pedestrian avenue that is very rich in color, movement, and functionalism. Concaved arranged units create a half opened committee, not only encourage participation for residences on the inner residential block but also help create a layer of privacy from the outer commercial side of public and won’t block the traffic. The new prototype changed traditional concrete columns into steel structure, which allows lighter urban fabric that encouraging pedestrian movement.

Seattle Media Tech Construction Documents
Professor: Greg Kessler Cooperate with CM Group
ABSTRACT The Seattle Media Tech Museum is a showcase of the technological advancements, situated in the South Late Seattle area in Washington, with its design influenced mostly by the programs it houses. This landmark, located at the corner of the West Lake and Danny Way, not only serves as a digital showcase hub but also a buzzing corner of traffic and population flow. In addition to the high resolution and enriched media projections, the building also encompasses a collection of diverse structural plans integrated into an urban complex, ranging from the office spaces to the public museums. The Media Tech Museum provides an opportunity to think and create out of the box by designing and relocating the visual and physical boundaries for the multidimensional representation of media information, as the operable interior walls allow to configure spaces into various geometrical shapes such as parallelograms and dome rooms. In the building design, the exterior façade is attired with white tinted aluminum curved panels, representing the futuristic intention, embedded in the concept. Whereas, perforated metal panels have been strategically cladded on the exterior to allow the light to penetrate into specific spaces without altering the sleekness of the solid design that the building represents. Hence, the Seattle Media Tech Museum is an urban complex offering multi visual experience for tourist attraction as well as functionality to the local community.

Designing for Dignity
Professors: James Steel + Rob Hutchison Graduate Studio | Summer 2015
ABSTRACT Working with Downtown Emergency Service center (DESC) in Seattle, to aid vulnerable Adults with overcoming behavioral health disorders and homelessness through architecture and proper housing is the main goal of this project. Many times shelters offer places to stay, but a home allows people to feel a sense of belonging. With integrated community services, along with a supportive built environment, people have a chance to reclaim their lives and reach their highest potential. A C shape as the public base and an L-scheme set on top for resident units building distinguishes the building as public and private. While utilizing double-loaded corridors on resident floor can offer efficient flow for entire building. The orientation of the L shape maximizing the solar radiation for each unit. Community gathering space on the first floor such as community kitchen, media rooms, outside courtyard and leisure spaces helped set up a communal feeling within the building. The interplay of private and public parts represented through the solid void representation in the massing enforces inhabitants to be part of the community, at the same time giving them an opportunity to retract into their own privacy bubble when needed is an added feature to this design, without compromising surveillance to those in charge.

The public ground floor plan takes responsibility in creating a community oriented center and reacts to pedestrian flow. An open end atrium allows for patrons to enter the inviting vegetative center. Massive glazing system opens up the view, and builds up the connection between public street and private back courtyard. Angled glazing on the west with mechanic room efficiently placed, create a private lounge area that still can be seen from front desk.

Professor: David Drake Team Project
ABSTRACT De-vine is an interactive wine rack which allows users to store wine into an artistic wall feature. Inspired by a plain weave, three conďŹ gurations developed, allowing the wine bottles to be placed vertically, horizontally, embedded or extruding the face of the rack. Using Rhino and Grasshopper, a lattice structure was created using parameters of a conventional wine bottle. Because of manufacturing limitations, the design is segmented into four parts, which is carved using a CNC router and later pieced together. The project explores and pushes the boundary of a traditional wine rack becoming more than just a place to store wine. The wine rack itself becomes a piece of art.

After research analysis on available wine bottle shapes and dimensions, three bottle types were selected to provide versatility.
Inspirited by a simple plain weave pattern, the wine bottle could be displayed in three orthogonal ways along the x, y, and z planes.
Utilizing the multiple placement in x,y, and z planes; bottles of varying liquids can be accommodated in order to maintain the moisture level of the wine cork.
Extruded ridges are created to secure a bottle on each unit. As the weave pattern forms, an interlocking system is created providing an additional opening in the center of the weave unit.
A hexagon section was then, swept along the wire frame creating a more dynamic massing and texture.
Due to the complex geometry the piece was divided into four layers.

Professor: David Drake Team Project
ABSTRACT This project researched planar elements to create a sculpture. In addition, material properties were explored and how it related to manufacturing techniques. With the help of 3D computer softwares such as Rhino 3D and Keyshot, better exploration in design was allowed at different levels. When creating a Mobius shape design, it is challenging using only planar liner elements. The softwares help by giving a prediction for the design, as well as helping produce accurate design information. By using the design information a continuous beauty in curving aesthetic can be formed. Translucent and transparent plexiglass pieces were created to give the impression that the sculpture is floating. Using a single material, plexiglass, unifies the piece as a whole.

To Whom May Concern: I am writing in regards to Jingxian Xie in support of her application for your office. I have had the pleasure of working with Jingxian for the Spring term at WSU as her studio instructor. I can speak to Jingxian’s abilities technically and in terms of design and suggest that she is proficient in everything she puts her efforts towards. To provide some background of the content of the studio - we were working with scale territory mapping and aiming to develop an architectural proposal that would address all the layers of concern at the territorial scale. Due to the nature of the project - the shift in scales from a large area to small is one that most students had contention with working through. However, Jingxian and her partner and their group worked effectively to transition to a smaller scale of design. Jingxian was a strong collaborator with her group and offered a critical voice to many concerns as they worked through the developments of the project. Jingxian is proficient in her technical abilities and was the lead in her team to work in grasshopper and other programs. She has a beautiful eye for design and this comes through her work. I think she could provide great assistance to many team she would be a part of and very quickly become a critical member to that team. Please contact me with further questions if needed.
