Ningbo University academic work 2017 Site Location:Ningbo China Design Area:14w m2
Recently in China,the development of urban area is increasng rapidly.In most of Chinese big cites,city planners design the city center to be a highly used economic complex. Therefore ,we can see different cities in China seem to have similar texture and skyline. My goal is to find a way to reorganize the city texture,in order to balance the efficency of the land use and the diversity of citizens' activity space.
UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT
EXTENT FUNCTION
Underground can be developed by metro station.
Feature-rich and have many residents around.
CONTEXT ANALYSIS Photograph of Surroundings
The site is located in center of Ningbo ,near the intersection of three main rivers of the city.It will obviously become the most important city culture and commercial center.
Side-Street Facade
Also ,it is surrounded by a big amount of residencial communities,for which the site can provide gathering and activity space.The design is based on these two elements,creating a sunken and elevated space to seperate the different function,and on the other hand using central city garden and multi-layered streamline connect each part of the land.

PLAZAS
ROOFSCAPE
These ground plazas are formed at important entrance and critical intersections between buildings.These plazas provide intake,community playgrounds,and areas for relaxtion creating unobstructed visual connection aross the site.
The height of buildings is carefully decided to make the whole roofscape a bowl,the roof scape can keep views open down the middle of the saite and gather people to the middle city park through functioned massing.
ROOF LOOP
PEDESTRAIN NETWORK
By conecting each part,a pedestrain corridor is created on roof.Accessible roofspace will bring public life to a new level,ensuring a dynamic community that exists at multiple scales.
Various of route choices and pleasant natural environment provide a highly walkable and dynamic urban community.The pedestrain network create a new city fabric

Ningbo University academic work 2017 Site Location:Ningbo China Design Area:8334 m2
The site is located west of my university ,and just minutes from key metro station,bus station,and other 3 universities shall leave an imprint on Ningbo north education district,redefining the interface along metro.The building is planed to be a complex combining the function of commercial and office.
As the site is in the developing area,it is surrounded by empty ground and a sleepy neighbourhood. The proposal addresses issues as street facade renewal,densification,and the opening up of a large site to students and offices.I try to design a building with iconic and practicality inorder to stimulate the area. Driving by the idea of orgnizing free office space and as much as possible leisure space under the reasonable propotion,terraces are created through changes of the massing.Users can enjoy the greening court on each floor between busy work.Terraces on different floor also have spacial connection.

Mass Cuts
Tower generation
The site can be cut into two parts,building part and a small plaza to creating flow circulation.The corners of podium mass are cut off to create ditect entry.
The form of podium is scaled down and pulled up to create tower. Diagonal cutting the mass to increase the southern side receiving more sunlight.

OFFICING STORY AND BEHAVIOR I want to explore office space from some occasions that often happen in office ,finding a suitable way to organize office space and create a friendly environment for officers.
Opening office space may mean that your boss could be watching you when you were sleeping at work.But if you have a nice colleague,he may warn you when boss arrives
Openning Office Space
In public office people may do different work at the same time,but people who need to cooperate can find a corner to discuss anywhere and anytime.The circular glass curtain wall can provide a good view when they need a break.
Public Office

6.Garage Entrance and Exit
Te r r a c e s a r e g o o d place to avoid boss's sight,relaxing and eating,especially when he's angry.In addition to being a passageway for employees and bosses,the corridor a good window for employees to learn boss's mood and changes in workplace.
Terraces And Corridor
A free gathering space without desks may be a good way to stimulate employees creativity.Working partners can brainstorm together ,people who are in trouble can have a change in mind.Also the space can become a big conference room.

03 EXTENDING WALLS Residence Possibility
Ningbo University academic work 2016 Site Location:Ningbo China Design Area:1w m2
The site of this project has a special location.It is placing in a landscaped city park which was not built.Next to the site are urban ,hardscaped community and commercial center. Considering these elements, I was supposed to create an union of old and new, an open community atmosphere in an intimate setting, calming green scenery within a bustling urban context.While young family choose to live in the economy fast commercial houses,old people can have a paradise in city parks,enjoying not only the convenient transportation and facilities ,but also an active and healthy living condition.
The idea of extending the wall creates a way of developing semi-open space beside the enclosed block ,which form pathways and yards in group.I designed a courtyard for each house with close contact to its neighbor ,intend to create various of venues for eaderly to have easy access to each other .Therefore the community without youth connect to become an entirety,old people can have recreational activities inside ,taking care of each other,Eliminatng loneliness and increasing secutity.

PROPHASE INVESTIGATION
SPACE AND WALLS
Site overview
Concept
I reference to Mondrian's paintings to reconstitute the walls and divide space,combining the traditional brick wall and lanes of the old town in Ningbo.
Public space and walls
North City Road
The site is under construction, but the surrounding area is planned to be commercial centers and commercial housing communities with school.The design site is located in the future city park, facing the river,.Under the excellent natural conditions,there may create a new kind of residence.
Target User Nesters' needs
Proportion of people in Ningbo
Safety
In the traditional residential area, the public space have no special definition,surrounding by blocks.
Extend a piece of wall of the building blocks to a certain length in order to divide public space.
The layout of the walls forms the courtyard and entrance, the open public space becomes half open space with occlusion.
By organizing walls and blocks logically, space between households is divided and each family will be linked together.

04 ORIGAMI Installation Possibility
Prague Architecture Institute Workshop 2017 Site Location:Prague,CzechRepublic Design Area:unlimited
This is a very interesting trip to explore in Prague,a city which I am not so familiar with. In my previous research, I visited various of Prague's streets ,parks,plazas and river bank,comparing the differences between Prague and Chinese people's daily activities. Prague's urban activity space scales are relatively large and places are located together, leading to the lack of gathering activities.
I choosed the city's biggest park as my design site.Letenske sady park, located north of Prague, is not a popular attraction, but it is one of the best places to view the city's landscape. It is a great place for civic activities but people usually only gather in two places:Beer garden and Prague Metronome.Many places are ignored and havve few people visiting..I want to put some installations where various activities can happen into the huge court ,creating a symbol of the gathering place
The device is designed to be changeable , people can move or rotate parts of the device to obtain different spatial feelings,and invest with different activities.
