Street architecture without entity

Other Works

All that is solid has melt into air. This experience of modernity is becoming more extreme with the flourishing of mass culture consumption, social media, and information technology. The power of tiny and decentralized things are deconstructing the culture of building in the form of blue print design. This experience has inspired me to explore new battlefields in architecture, both in format and methodology. Instead of embracing mass culture and assimilating itself as a consumption symbol, or still immersing in the self-evident poetry, I believe architecture should expand itself by finding or creating new languages and formats from those non-solid and bottom-up process. Instead of an object, architecture should be an overall experience open to interaction, dialogue and events. I will define my career through public spatial practice, finding and creating new possibilities in forming real public space, whether it is architecture, exhibitions, events, campaigns, publications or a new medium. The culture of internet, data, and mass media, combined with enclaves in the process of urbanization, the vitality of multitude and self-growing systems, which is shown vividly in Asian countries, is also a new battlefield for architects of the future. The potential of public space, which belongs to all, is a resistance to those generalized grids of hegemonism. “When everything is continuously melting, we and our successors will keep fighting, to make ourselves feel at home.�

/ 01 The Open of the Palace There was a city surrounded by walls. Only noble people are allowed to enter the wall.the hierachy of walls is determined by political status. In the center of the walls, The emperior is the prisoner of himself. Now the kingdom is gone, so is the emperior. The city was opened to the public as a relic of the history of autocracy. Free citizens come to visit there to learn the despotic past which they have already forgotten, since they are freed for too long. Visitors have to pass the safety gate to enter the city,though which process their id of the system is registered.

4

/ 02 The Free Square Once entered, they would find themselves in the people’s free square. Bullets of comments and mood dairies from social media is float above the square. The square is divided into several parts, people of different interest groups gathering in different squares. Diversified as it seems, The grid infrastructure network system reflect the equality and homogeneity. Immersed in the seemingly free ecstasy of communication, they hardly think about the void outside the wall which they know nothing about, and the mechanism inside the wall to filter the information.

/ 03 The Machine in the Wall If we look from the top of the city and cut it horizontally, we can see the real structure inside the walls and buildings. The interface visitors perceived are all fake. Inside the thin walls in the periphery there are machines and cables filtering informations and make illusionary projections.

8

/ 04 The Great Palace The Grand Palace is the central pivot of the whole system, where the terminal of each mechanism is placed. The juxtaposition of those terminals with the dragon throne represents that they are the new power system today.The walls, partitions and columns are abstracted as symbolic for the control system of information.

We celebrate the diversity in the controlled generalized grid of infrastructure, we celebrate the freedom of expression in the strictly filtered system, we celebrate the liberation of body while we are still prisoners of mind. The walls are ALWAYS there.

Redefine the Public Domain

The landscape of this natural island is divided by invisible boundaries. While one wandering in the forest by the sea, the dangers are that he could be expelled by the house holders nearby, for the forest is private asset. Is there a possibility, in such natural environment, that the distinction between public and private is as soft as the slopeness of the land? The travelers can follow the path to the public area and n avoid intrusions into private land. Also, there are saturation of public spaces, which is defined by the natural elements such as light, slope and visibility. The bottom-up intervention aims to create a new relationship between public landscape and private landscape. The form were generated from solar envelope, as a humble and minimized intervention into the site.

Public Landscape proposed as an alternative to the enlargement of the community, explores the relationship between private land and common landscape in a natural environment - on an island in Norway - and questions the standard notions of privacy and sharing, segretion and transparency, and fresh methods of data-based design related to environmental analysis and human sensory analysis.

Base Surface

Solar Rights

The base surfaces are the results of last planar evaluation, which shows the optimal boundaries of public spaces. The solar envelopes are created based on the surrounding buildings existing as obstacle objects.

The Solar Rights Envelope presents t h e m a x i m u m heights of buildings that do not violate the solar rights of any of the existing buildings during a given period of the year

Solar collection

Solar Volumn

The Solar Collection Envelope presents the lowest possible locus of windows and passive solar collectors, on the elevation of the building, such that they will be exposed to the sun during a given period of winter, but will be shaded in summer

The volume included between both envelopes. This volume contains all the buildings heights that allow solar access to each surrounding building, and at the same time are not shaded by the neighboring buildings.

The interventions sometimes grow into the houses, redefining the inside and outside, nature and man-made space. The public green lands are combined with inside theatre, and the semi-outside picnic area is shaded by the platform as extension of balcony. The declining stairs has the same logic with the terrain, which can be perceived through the window when one walking down stairs to the basement.

COMMERCIAL

I marked the politic center and villa area,shoppingmalls and office buildings ,shanty towns and indemnificatory housing area,and greening land in Beijing.The grid system represents the solidified social stratification. In a typology way,The residential,business and cultural spaces of different classes are implied in different patterns,from which distinctions of living scale can be seen.Through the overlapping of three grids the abstract prospect of Beijing class society can be perceived.

3rd Class

DWELLING

The book Folding Beijing constructs a world in which different social classes live separately in three different spaces. Nevertheless,in reality,people from different stratums share common time and space.The apposition and isolation of different classes- residential space,production and consumption space as well as cultural space of different classes intersperse and interlace together on a real city map.

/ Prototype of Gardens Traditional living models of Beijing are introverted courtyards for small families. The system for a mixed collective should have multilayered permeability. Different yards are visible from each other, and from the public space inside the building one can have multi-directional views. 28

/ Framing the Plot the Frame building aims to create a linking system. The former seems like Objects as they are isolated from each other and have no positive effect for the block and city as a whole, while the latter is more like a piece of city texture, which frame the city through the limitation of solid and void. 29

Inside the building ,the junction space and the garden side is co-working space, and inside the room, the thick furniture wall enable the host to have an open space for multi-use. 32

I-CLOUD

FIELD

I-CLOUD FIELD is based on the development of VR,holographic projection and Cloud system.It is a distributed information pavilion system,which collects information from data stream of mobile devices and emerges on different sites of the city. The information is analyzed in Cloud System and showed in holographic videos and AR.The pavilions expands and splits as the visitors flowrate and data flowrate changes.They can be instant theatres and flowing landscape of the city.

The project creates a new informational space which is superior to screens in terms of interaction and better than information pavallion due to its flexible and changeable form.The space is generated by holographic projection,which is controlled by central platform in cloud system.The facilities are embedded underground as a grid,enabling steerable variations. The size and type of space are determined by visitors flow rate and velocity.The videos and information showed are collected from data stream of mobile devices in this area.
