Now the architecture can create a place for these homeless objects, also a multitude of places, the collection is then periodically re-presented.… -- Peter Zumthor on the comment of LACMA, LA

A rusted submarine strands on an abandoned field, at Arsenal,Venice. The submarine saw centuries of prosperity of marine insdusty in Venice; while also witnessed the falling of that glorious era. History is not always a continuous flow.It is sometimes stranded. The stranded moments of time became forgotten memorieds and obsolettes. Remains of marine weapons, battleship components, as well as other shattered pieces of history, are stranded here. I propose to build an exhibition center at this special site. It will become a shelter of those homeless objects, to recall the memory, and to inspire every generation.

Arsenal Historical Site at Present

Marine History of Venice Venice, the city on the water, saw centuires of development in marine industry. The production of marine weapons grew during wars, and faded away after the falling of the Republic of Venice. Various types of marine weapons spanned their periods of time among history.

LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA

Significant parts of the Arsenal were destroyed under Napoleonic rule, and later rebuilt to enable the Arsenal’s present use as a naval base.

In the late 16th century Development as a military factory from the ancient to steam age to WWII.

After WWII most of Arsenal’s factory were abandoned.

Now the site is used as a research center and an exhibition venue during for Venice Biennale, and is home to a historic boat preservation center.

My building extracts the elements mentioned below and presents different experiences through the combination with modern architectural expression.

The Dome is cut and deformed to form elements of the building through a combination of wire mesh and glass skylights.

Dialogue

Commerce is also an essential part of this exhibition center. On the second floor, there is an auction space for people to trade on the heritage and artworks.

The collision of the old heritage and the new space is shown at the entrance of the building. The stranded submarine meets the glass hall, forming a dialogue in between the pathway that the guests could feel.

Feeding the World in the 21st Century -- Dickson Despommier

By 2050, the world’s population is expected to grow by another 2 billion people, and feeding it will be a huge challenge. Due to industrial development and urbanization, we are losing arable lands every day. Scientists say that the Earth has lost a third of its arable lands over the last 40 years. We don’t know how much more we are going to lose in the next 40 years. Increasing food demand due to a growing population along with ever decreasing arable lands poses one of the greatest challenges facing us.I believe that vertical farming can be the answer to this challenge.

The city of the future is the city we already live in --Bjarke Ingels

There’s always a reason why someone is called an architect. It is because the world is changing, and that change means that the way the world is today does not fit the way that the world is becoming, so we have to somehow accommodate that change. And in doing so we have a chance to not just answer all the questions and solve all the problems, but we also have to ask ourselves, what could we make happen that would be better than today? What could we make happen that would be more exciting and more inspiring than we have today? Every time you give form, you also have the chance to give a gift to the future. In a way, you can give the future something it didn’t ask for.

The Annual Rings Studio Project Independent Work Year 2020 Instructor: Xiaoshi Zhao,Wang Bin

There is a strong reciprocal relationship whereby our more ambitious design visions encourage the continuing development of the new digital technologies and fabrication techniques, and those new developments in turn inspire us to push the design envelope ever further. --Zaha Hadid

We are a part of nature. If we want to explore unknown areas in nature, reckless development of natural resources will be backlashed by nature, and exploration that follows the laws of nature will make us live in harmony with nature. I have always wanted to build a device in the forest that can be organically combined with nature, so that people can better feel nature.The inspiration comes from the annual rings of trees, which will grow in circles as time goes by. This concept led me to create this installment. Provide space for short-term hikes and picnics in the forest for people to rest, eat and entertain.

Space Formation from concept

The most suitable one for the forest

The installment is composed of two parts, the structure and the roof above, and the seats below. Among them, the smaller the value of number slider 1, the smaller the number of arcs generated, and the larger the value of n umber slider 2, the greater the change in arc. The larger the value of number slider 3, the more magnification and the steeper the shape.

The arc at the top divides the space naturally into 3 spaces-vegetable preparation area, picnic area, and leisure area. Meet the different needs of people who come to the forest.

Natural light will spread through the gaps at the top to the seats at the bottom, forming light and shadow changes of different shapes, while also saving energy.
