It is the first project I made as an assistant architect in China. To have a better understanding of the project, I interviewed some people on site. Also, I reviewed many successful precedents and related codes, like Code for Fire Resistance in Building Design (GB50016-2014) and Design Code for Pumping Station (GB/T50265-2010), etc. Next to the residential area, it is not only designed for industrial development, but also for being harmony with citizens by providing a social space.

This project develops the space below and above water. It proposes a habitat underwater that addresses the declining salmon population. It offers a mixed-use development above water that addresses the need for localized food production. To further understand how the sensitivity of these connections, the project produces mainly two solutions to minimize the adverse impacts, that is, wetland restoration and self-supplied food system. The wetland restoration is the strategy to answer the question of how to recover the eco-balance of the aquatic system, and how to give back an equal life change for migrating salmons. It is reasonable to create a riparian habitat as a temporary refuge full of quite side channels and ponds, soft edges since the site is en route of fry’s journey to the sea. What is more, the self-supplied food system is a one-stop solution to deal with the thorny issue of food safety, which cuts down some unintended processes and optimizes the overall microorganism, as well as offering an innovative way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project has encouraged the integration of ecological, economic, social, and cultural environments within Vancouver waterfront, which is relevant and applicable to surrounding waterside cities in the nation as well as globally.

The case is located in Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, located in the middle of Yungui Plateau, connected with Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in the north, Yuxi City in the southwest, Honghe Hani Yi Autonomous Prefecture in the southeast, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture in the west and Qujing City in the east. It is the core circle of the central Yunnan urban agglomeration, the center of the 5-hour aviation circle in Asia, and one of the first-class logistics park layout cities. As a famous national historical and cultural city, Kunming is also an open gateway city for Southeast Asia and South Asia, which has made outstanding contributions to the development of tourism, trade, and border areas in China. The project takes advantage of the preferred location to bring interactive and green elements into mall design to satisfy younger people’s emerging demands; provide a high-efficiency lifestyle to residential areas nearby. And it can benefit from a large number of residence people and retail shops nearby. People will be attracted to this block due to the diverse public life offered by the shopping mall and open space.

The project is to build up a positive physical environment, in association with community culture and economic resiliency. That is, my concept of an integrated green belt should discover and systematically explore methods of optimizing treatment for this urban bottleneck. Considering how to attract people back to reside in Spokane again, it can be grouped into two relevant dimensions: 1) Economy ( Resiliency ) 2) Environment ( Green belt ) .

These blocks are divided into three sectors and each of them are equipped with its own parking lots and public sports facility. The green belt is maded of horizontal greenery, as well as vertical greenery. That is, each block has own social space, trying its best to provide a multifunctional space for relaxing.

The project is the 2015 vernacular architecture competition I took in Sangang Village, Wuyi, China, which calls Hui-Style. Based on the original footprint, this project has offered a different design concept by way of combining new elements with traditional white walls and grey tiles. The structure is made of wood and steel with the help of prefabrication installation, which turns a small shabby house into nature. The schematic feature is around the courtyard culture in-between, and its doors and windows facing the courtyard help a lot to guide the wind with the sloping roof. Therefore, during winter, the fixing openings in external walls can block the cold northern winds from entering the house compound, while increasing air convection to reduce building energy consumption by turning all fixing windows to operable options.
The profound vision of the project is to step toward revitalizing rural areas in China – a historical identity but an aging impoverished area. These series of dedication are a process of saving energy and reducing emissions; ultimately, we try to maximize the benefits through an efficient cost estimation. It can lay a modern blueprint for embracing the co-existence between housing and humans, encouraging the integration of ecological, economic, social, and cultural environments within the countryside, which is relevant and applicable to surrounding villages in the nation.

The project is to offer a healthcare-oriented mixed-use hub in the university district incorporating the student housing, community-based healthcare navigation, and medical innovation center for research and practice. It tries to figure out an alternative way for subsidizing the 5% uninsured in Spokane, especially for helping the uninsured student tenants on-site and nearby communities. Accurately, the project will produce bundle-up strategies to meet the net-zero and subsidize the residents on-site and community with the saving energy cost. The project is characterized by its prefabricated shading and modular units for different needs, which can not only increase the aesthetics and comfort experience but also decrease energy consumption. It is the process and practice of passive solar system and residential, and community. The project is to achieve the minimal overall energy consumption to meet the goal of the net-zero in comparison to the baseline model, meanwhile tries to come out with a tailored material plan. That is, the project chose the CLT system as a priority solution since, since in general, steel and concrete are also significant sources of carbon emissions.

Based on the Garland district, the project focused on bringing together two different elements of both residential and commercial. I studied the differences in visitors from both types of areas and determined that the function of the parklet would be the overall leisure space for commuters. The features of the project were designed to incorporate people who are on the move and also those who need a few minutes to slow down and enjoy the moment, trying to combine integrated functions in programs such as a bike rack, seats, and tables. The reason is that the city’s growing bike population has forced the moveable and adaptable furniture designed to optimize as much of the space as possible, and a variety of seating types to accommodate visitors from both residential and commercial areas. And the parklet is an emerging installation coming to solve the problem. This parklet design embraced the ability to change and enhance spaces by creating so much versatility within the design, whoever inhabits the spaces can make it function exactly how they wish. Functionality and safety were the utmost important elements behind this proposal.

Through creative circulation, accommodation areas connected to the sloping landscape. It is necessary to combine affordable, accessible, and high-end service with different units for satisfying different clients’ living needs. First, the project identifies as a new resort hotel with mixed-use functionality, so that the public area is design for social and communication. Also, the public area is a gathering platform which enters into building for checking in and out. It succeeds in embedding driving and walking into this overall reasonability. Besides that, the shape of the project focuses on providing a comfortable atmosphere from an artistic point of view.

Given the fact that education is scarce and the inequality of resources, show that there’s a need to improve education in many rural areas in post-third-world regions. Especially in the case of Africa, there still exists a weak educational system that is out of date and unable to meet the development of, information-based, daily teaching activities. To help aid in the fight for educational reform we need to first work on removing these serious limitations. This project is to design a modern rural secondary school facility, which embraces the history of the town, fostering learning techniques of the 21st century, and will constantly evolve to the future learning community.

After the great fire of 1871, a new chapter of architectural design emerged. Every building exhibits the ravages of time, including the Marquette Building. Built during the 19th-century boom and located in the loop of downtown Chicago, it soon became one of the most profitable skyscrapers of the time. The Marquette building stands as an ideal example of a speculative commercial office building whose primary purpose was to take a gamble and increase the profitability within an up-and-coming urban center. A real estate investor by the name of Owen Aldis was able to do this by providing a collection of first-class office spaces that sprinkled with bits of design that he theorized would indeed make these offices first class. However, as occupancy declined during the mid-20th century, the building’s owners were no longer able to afford the increasing cost. To cut down on maintenance fees, Marquette building’s decorative cornices removed in the 1950s.
