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.

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.

It is a hospitality project I designed while I was studying in college, China. Located in the resort area nearby the Road 571, it takes advantage of the natural scenery of Dongqian Lake, Ningbo, and transportation routes meanwhile try to provide citizens excellent sight views to spend their leisure vacations after a long-run workload. Tourism resources, historical resources, and location resources are the three main aspects of this proposal.

1F It is my independent design proposal, typically for the transformation of this area based on the footprints. All the departments are responsible for the currently updating system. For example, some complexes in this area are out-of-date, usually built in the late 20th century, are accessible in the rental market, providing housings to white-collar workers in this area, as well as relocation for original residents.

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 ) .
1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Bedroom Fitness Public Service
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.

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.

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.
