ABOUT ME

I have passion for architecture for very long time and I'm eager to learn about it through studying. I think architecture is the symbol of human civilization.

Now,The contradiction between human and nature is more and more serious. So how to integrate architecture into nature is a problem which should be thought about. Therefore, I wish to learn more deeply, getting more opportunities to improve my design skills and bring me to professional period.

Redesign of Huai'an Theater project type: urban rejection individual work 2018.9-2018.11 directed by XIAOHONG DING TEL:+86 13861590500

QINGJIANGPU district is urban center of Huai'an, which was gradually extended to the outside world decades ago. As ancient part of the whole city, there were traditional buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of typologies are flats with white walls and black tiles. However, with the development and renewal of the city, high-rise buildings have shown up, and the ancient city area has gradually lost its vitality because it can not keep up with the pace of the times.

The design proposal of project is to reveal the tourism of this ancient city. The main aim of this scheme is to design innovation between exsisting bulidings and new buildings. According to the locals, they require plenty of programs to fulfil their wishes, including theater, hotel, cafe, studio and exhibition hall.

Site Analysis There are a large number of flats in the base, most of which are built privately, so the density of houses is large and the spacing is small, It is difficult to meet the needs of daily life and emergency fire evacuation.

So the first step is to remove the small structures arranged too closely in the plot. After ensuring the space between houses is comfortable, the theater and other buildings along the river are selected as the transform objects. Finally, part of the surrounding dilapidated buildings are demolished to reserve space for new. buildings.

CYBER-ReSi Community project type: Structure Design Individual work 2020.8-2020.9 directed by CHEN CHEN TEL:+86 15601938261 Cyberpunk, a world both with high technology and dark social background. Through the surface of cyberpunk culture, its essence is the future world full of science and technology.

Buildings of cyberpunk come of the famous place JIULONG CHENGZHAI in Hong Kong. JIULONG CHENGZHAI is one of the most famous compositive communities in the world. Now, we are trying to reproduce this compositive community. By using prefabricated construction, Furthermore, negotiate the spatial structure of the building in interior issue. Varieties of communitiy functions were put in it to satisfy the daily needs of residents.

Context Analysis Walled City in Hongkong was the place where officials of Qing Dynasty worked as consulates.

Philip K. Dick promoted the development of Cyberpunk.

Which is based on combination of low-life and high tech.

Tramp and refugees live in this compact community.Various social problems had arisen due to lack of management.

Ghost In The Shell is popular in Japan, Which is the first time to link the image of "JIULONG CHENGZHAI"with cyberpunk.

The environment of the walled city is fragile due to illegal expansion of the building and without planning. Meanwhile, the real sense of"JIULONG CHENGZHAI" was formed.

With the sell of CYBERPUNK 2077, JIULONG CHENGZHAI bring back to people's view.

"JIULONG CHENGZHAI" was demolished. But its appearance was combined with the cyberpunk forever.

Structure & Volume Analysis Th e p ro j e c t i s to re b uild t h e “ JI ULO N G CHEN GZH AI ” by prefabricated construction. Although t h e re a re m a ny p ro b l e m s in JIULONG CHENGZHAI, such as messy environment, huge population density and low quality of life. The core idea of it is a multifunctional community complex. So the main problem need to be solved, which is to keep balance between life quality and high-functional.

The first step is to use prefabricated construction, which can be combined and create space to have more possibilities. the basic unit is designed as a 3000mm×3000mm×6000mm cube frame. And have not restrict it deliberately.

The second step is let the frames combine, without the limit of direction. These different combinations will be given different functions. It is not that a combination can only be given a specific function, but can reasonably allocate the most suitable function according to its specific location.

Structure & Volume Analysis Th e t hir d s t e p i s co m bin e e a c h co m bin a t i o n a g a in to fo r m a 18000mm×18000mm×18000mm UNIT. The UNIT is not a cube for enhance the connectivity between each UNIT, The joint structure of SUNMOU is used to connect each UNIT.

The UNIT could be thought as the combination of six different planes, each plane has the connection concept of SUNMOU structure. Each row and column have six 3000mm×3000mm squares, move the square in a row or column to increase the connectivity of the whole UNIT. White areas means the functional spaces and the grey areas means the traffic spaces, different planes have different layout, but the same thing is all the traffic line could connect four directions.
