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 ) .

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.

Dense high-rises and urban green spaces have intentionally and inadvertently created an inland “spot” (sitio) where people live, work, and recreate on a day-to-day basis. The relationship relates a man to the area. Unfortunately, the spot constrains the and residents’ characters and wilderness. Meanwhile, it tries to offer a temperamental homogenization in lifestyle. Therefore, the project intends to break through the fortress by way of incorporating an open-air mixed-use platform since how to keep a balance between reality and hope is a commoner’s wonderland. It is the meaning of my self-realization and existence and the source of my happiness.

The womb-shape chair is a psychological implication for a personality defect. To be specific, this semi-enclosed chair, like an attic, is associated with a feeling of the womb. It is a characteristic design feature, represents being loved, security, and privacy. In other words, it is also a character defect. In this case, being loved means a lack of emotion-seeking; security means internal insecurity of life; privacy means fear of being disturbed. As an individual from a single-family, it seems that I prefer more “defensible space” in an unfamiliar built environment, and take advantage of the protected skin to be closer to the others and wilderness, or even further. In other words, a safe place claimed by myself is naturally happy and strong-rooted sense. I feel safe if I stay clam as an introvert. Besides, I am always an avid participant and observer of the magical world. At this time, I feel like I am an extrovert to get involved by using astrological principles to reflect because I am an adventurous Aquarius. In this contradiction, I would like to take a psychological adventure as an extrovert while being a commoner as an introvert. In this case, the project I designed is full of contradicted 40’ aspects.

SEATTLE MASS TIMBER TOWER I DRL GROUP I USA cross-laminated timber
concrete corn The total GSF of 304611, and it will waste time without the facility of BIM. However, with the help of off-site prefabrication and on-site installation, only six construction workers can produce a 25,000 SF area within two weeks, which is more time-efficient and cost-competitive than concrete. Also, it is climate-controlled management. The tower falls under the proposed IBC Type IV-B construction type, and it means the maximum height of 12 stories and 18 feet. For the frame, bearing walls and floors require a 2-hour fire-resistant rating (FRR), and the roof needs 1-hour FRR. A hybrid structure system can avoid the lateral impact and reduce the building self-weight so that to optimize the budget.

In traditional design and construction, concrete has considered the most popular material applying to the site. However, concrete, of which cement is an ingredient, accounts for 7% of human-caused carbon dioxide emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. Delaying or avoiding this challenge is not an option, and it is necessary that engineered wood composites and joinery of concealed metal fasteners to facilitate post-industrial economies of scale, manufacture, and fire and life safety. It is an alternative solution for the sustainability of the climate-conscious investment. The Seattle Mass Timber Tower is to create a high-rise that is efficient, simple, and cost-competitive by way of mass timber, which is a shift in structure and supply chains of design and construction. In short, this case study focuses on what strategies of structure system could be beneficial to help lower the construction cost.

The project has risen in Taichung’s concrete jungle - an impressive feat of engineering given the island’s hot and humid climate. The wooden high-rise as the headquarters of WoodTek, a Taiwanese firm that promotes wood as a renewable building material. The project has shaped like an upside-down staircase, and the striking building has fueled interest among local firms in using cross-laminated timber as a green alternative to concrete and steel. The project used the timber headquarters to show off the resilience of the prefabricated CLT panels with the adoption of green architecture, which has a lifespan of close to 200 years, tolerate up to 1,100 degrees Celsius, and withstand 10 tons of pressure per square meter. And the use of prefabricated panels for both the walls and flooring allowed for a quick construction time of just 20 days.

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.

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.
