In the third stage, individual work, I choose a site and design a building consisting of three functional parts, dining, learning and doing sports. The function is deduced from the research on the facilities around the site. The building itself is based on the site’s characteristics, inspired by the wall in Scottish Castle, with the comparation with the "wall" space in Chinese Courtyard Architecture.

In the second stage our small group discover the separation within the enclaves, and we proposed to use a system of “nodes and paths” to make connection between students and student as well as students and residents. We also chose a small area to exemplify our concepts.
PBSA use pristine aesthetics and modern architectural design, use good services (gym, car parking, coffee bars, high level of surveillance etc.)
Encouraged by local authorities via planning policies
Spatial Order
This project is a continuous work that involves studying a urban phenomenon, proposing urban strategy, and designing a building. In the first stage, our big group studied the phenomenon of studentification in Glasgow, which economically rely on education industry in its post-industrial period. There are growing number of students every year coming to the University of Glasgow, including local and foreign students, particularly Chinese and Indian students. With the growth of student number, many student accommodations have been built in the area near the university, forming the student “enclave”. This has resulted in problems such as students occupying the resources that belong to locals. To firstly identify the enclave area and find some problems before proposing urban strategy, we studied various urban theories and applied them to our research.
Institutional actors identify students as group which possesses a metropolitan habits, willing to pay a premium for living

2 "Recombinant Urbanism" as an Analytical Framework, David Grahame Shane, 2005 The enclave is an enclosed area with a centre, a perceived perimeter, and its own self-organising system of order. Walking in the city is moving between these enclaves. There are attactors, armatures, dominant typology and bondary as the elements of analysing an enclave. From the study a frame work of conceptual models for analysis will be used.

Improve the Life by New Nodes and Paths
The Site
We consider using a system of nodes and paths to improve students' lives. The students and the locals move safely and more conveniently on the path and gather in the node buildings. Within the enclaves, this network can link the different sub-enclaves, the students living in the different sub-enclaves may be from different university departments, and the path and node building can be a place for them to meet and can have cross-discipline communication. Outside the enclave, this network can connect the enclave with some public spaces like parks, providing places for communication between students and resident groups.
This is a plot of land located between two high-level student accommodation buildings on a currently brownfield site. One side of the site is open to the street, while the other side is near the river. With the proposed new path along the river so there will be two ways to access to the site. The site has a level change between the street and the ground. The ground on the site is not flat, with the lowest point being near the river, approximately 3.8m lower than the street on the north.

A Key Renovation Area As An Example This key space shows the rebuild of connection within the Enclave B. It connects several PBSA along the two side of the river. The current bankside space is divided into several segments by different PBSA buildings, a brownfield site, a under bridge space, etc. And there also an old abandoned bridge. The proposal of this site is by utilizing the abandoned bridge, rebuilding the connection of the bankside spaces, making the space continuous. This path can connect with the broad plan of the path system.
A node buildin: Student Canteen (Furtherly designed in Stage 3)
From Existing Community Facilities to User Needs Analysis of the existing community facilities in the area can give us a better understanding of what is needed. Firstly, there is no public learning space off-campus where students who live in nearby PBSAs can gather. The closest university building is a 5 to 10-minute walk away. Therefore, it might be useful to have a learning space for students. In tenant and resident-associated buildings, there are public spaces like Partick Library available for students to self-learning. However, group-learning activities might disturb the local residents, which can have a negative impact on studentification. Secondly, although there are sufficient food options available, such as coffee houses, bars, supermarkets, and restaurants, they are unable to cater to the high demand of students in the area. This is due to the recent increase in the number of students in the area and the high concentration of students in PBSA buildings near the site.The sports facilities are not enough, and the existing ones are mainly intended for the residents’ use. Students need a safer sports space that can also be a place for them to socialize. Finally from it I desided the function to be a dining house, a learning house and a sports house. 4

Formal Concept: Thickness of Facade Wall, Level of Spaces
Two Types of Space and Two Types of Materials on the Wall the castle shows the concept of structure-space, but in Chinese courtyard architecture, there is no such relation where the structures are thin. We can also find that the auxiliary space in the walls of the castle is static, except some stairs provide vertical movements, while in the Chinese garden, it is dynamic, horizontally. The new design is a study of these two kinds. The facade wall has a similar thickness to contain static and dynamic spaces. It is a sequence that holds three functional parts. And because it will be built in a contemporary way, it will be actually thin. Furthermore, as the building should demonstrate openness, the facade wall should also show the activities contained in it.
The form of the building here should represent its existence on the site and its function. From the massing, there are three functional boxes. I think there can be a very thick "wall" (not a solid wall, but space inside) on the two long sides as an interface of the boxes with the path outside. To think the wall. I compare a Scottish castle with a classic Chinese courtyard building. Louis Kahn used the castle to elaborate the distinction between ‘served’ and ‘servant spaces’, “with great central living halls and auxiliary spaces nestled into thick outside walls”. I think in a Chinese courtyard building, there are some similarities: The main hall is in the middle, with auxiliary spaces on the sides as "walls". The difference is that

system. The wall material may be brick or plastered material. It is okay if the building stands out or fits into the context. The additional parts have more various shapes, so it is good to use cast in-situ concrete.

The wall includes the wall itself and the things on it. The wall itself looks very solid with the minimum openings, containing spaces like fire-escaping staircases, toilets, plants and so on. The additional part is some small open spaces for people to wander and have fun; it can be seen as a connecting

The shape of the site is irregular, so I think if the building is mainly a holistic rectangular box, it can be more easily used. The big rectangular shape consists of two "wall" spaces on each side and three squares with two courtyards inside. The irregularity of the site and the people's movement
of coming and leaving make the torsion of the shape, forming some angles of different directions. There are four ways crossing the site connecting the pedestrian and a new path, and the entrances of three houses are set on two of the connections.

The Fun of on and cross the Wall
The water here is not an artificial feeling water, but a natural feeling water. From the section, the water bottom is not flat, which means it is not tiled, but soil and plants can grow. When I visited the University of Glasgow, I saw a pond where reeds and other plants grow from water or near water, but that was an absolute nature pond. Here, nature co-exists with this rectangular-shaped building.
Besides going inside the building to have lunch, study or exercise, people can have fun wandering in the building. There are many small spaces and patches inside the wall, functionally creating many secondary circulations. People can walk, stay, see, or be seen.

Study of Hospital's History
The timelines shows the typological development of medical architecture, and the conceptual changes in modern times. Throughout history, medical architecture has changed its type from an enclosure quadrangle to today's prevailing pavilions. The unchanged purposes are using natural light, and natural ventilation to raise efficiency for caregivers to look after patients. Long Term History 1200 AD

ELDER'S MODERN LIFE WITH NATURE: AN INTEGRATED DESIGN OF ELDER HOSPITAL, NURSING HOME AND SHELTER Architecture Design Studio: Integrated Instructors: Penny Lewis, Mike Findlater, Xuechen Gui, Suzuki Takayuki Collaborated Work: Fu Zhouqi (drawings and digital model ,rendering); Li Xiaoyu (digital model) Wuchang, Wuhan, China Apr 2023 - Jun 2023 The final design consists of three parts: an Elder Hospital, a Nursing Home and an Elder Shelter for independent-living elders. The hospital serves elders in the Wuchang District. Currently, one part building on the site is Wuhan NO.7 Hospital, which is an old hospital with low efficiency and needs to be replaced. Another part of the site is the apartments of nearby Zhongnan Architecture Design Company, there are many retired architectural-related workers living in some old buildings. Therefore the new design can work as a replacement for the current building functionally and give people a better life. The design is based on architectural typology studies and some medical-environmental studies. The relation to nature is the theme of design and we decide the extent of how a functional space relates to a kind of "nature".

The project was designed as the begining of modern architecture when medical building was concieve as a machine for health. This project design a plan that every ward pavilion can have a view of nature without being blocked by other pavilions.
Evidence Based Design Study
Making Improvements Base on Investigation of Present Condition
"View through a Window May Influence Recovery from Surgery"， Science 1984. The results of this seminal evidence-based design study suggested that natural views had therapeutic influences on hospital patients.Views of vegetation and especially water may elicit positive feelings, reduce fear in stressed subjects, hold attention, and block stressful thoughts.
Besides the theoretical researches, the design is inspired by investigationes into two near by hospital built after 2000, as well as the old community on the site. From the investigation some problems of patient using hospital and elder's living habits are discovered. Then some design criteria are deduced, in order to provide the patient and elder a better life.

Water in Living Space Wuhan was known as the "City of Thousands of Lakes" in the past, but in recent years many lakes were filled as a result of urban development. In the Site Design, water is largely used as a kind of natural element, as a response of the city scale, to recover the land feature of Wuhan.Water is a vivid, dynamic element in traditional Chinese gardens, it calms or ripples due to airflow, it changes its reflection color due to light and landscape. Due to its character of shapelessness and variability, water is always connected with time.

The functions are distributed into two groups, hospital part (Outpatient, Inpatient) and living part (Nursing home, Shelter). The whole site is in L-shape, which has two direction, one from south to north, the other from east to west. Each directions has an outer side and an inner side.The two functional parts are put in to each part, using the inherent site direction to transit.
Hospital Outpatient and emergency parts open to the south, going into the hospital, a central corridor connects the consultant rooms and medical technical departments. Doctors' offices are on the west and east side. On the north side is the canteen for patients and families on the ground floor and the canteen for staff above.
Nursing Home and Shelter The east side is outer, with some activity space like a Lecture Hall and a Canteen. The Lecture Hall is a place for public education. The upper floor is staff offices. The western part is inner, for living. Shelter on north part and Nursing Home on south part. On the ground floor are activity and rehabilitation rooms. Living Units are above.

Recognizable Design for Alzheimer's Disease Elders
There is a circulation system consists of indoor circulation, semi-outdoor circulation, and outdoor circulation. The elder can choose their walking exercise on different circulation according to weather condition and convenience. On the ground floor level, the elder can get to any functional space under a roof (indoor circulation), like going from the community gate to their home. This is because it is inconvenient for elders to carry an umbrella, especially for those who need a wheelchair. On the first-floor level, there is a 400m-long circular corridor set on the perimeter of the community that is specifically designed for the elderly to walk or exercise and communicate. This corridor is particularly useful for the elderly living in the nursing home located on the first floor.
Alzheimer's Disease happens among the elder group in a high rate. The patient's cognitive will decline and someone may forget where their home is. In the design of independent living shelters, traditional The Eight Immortals patterns are used as a reminder for cognitively declined elder to recognize their home. The folk pattern is widely recognized by the elders. Among the eight patterns, six which are proper are selected.

DAZHIMEN ART CENTER: RENOVATION OF A HISTORICAL RAILWAY STATION Architectural Design Studio (6): Topic Instructors: Zheng Jing, Mike Findlater Individual Work Hankow, Wuhan, China Feb 2022 - May 2022 The Old Dazhimen Railway Station is a landmark heritage building on the edge of the old concession area of Hankou. The original building is dwarfed by new towers to its north and west. However, it sits in a prime location on the edge of an area of heritage regeneration, close to the metro and surrounded by thriving residential areas. This simple building sits on a major axis and consists of a square entrance hall surrounded by four towers which are said to be styles to mimic Bavarian castles. The purpose of this design is to explore the process of bring old buildings like the station back to life. The design focus to study the issue of adaptive reuse of existing buildings. The adaptive re-use of a building demands that the architect retains some aspects of the character of the original building but changes the function. ----- Architectural Design Studio 5 Teaching Plan

Project Orientation, Users and Building Function
From Old Entrance to New Entrance
There existing many art-relate institutions near the site. On a 1.5km way toward Wuhan Art Museum locates many art workshops and art equipment shops, which has already formed scale effect. And there are many schools nearby too. Turning the old station building into an art centre, with function of exhibition and education can strengthen the scale effect of art. The new Dazhimen Art Centre will gather functions like exhibition, education and recreation, serving for people nearby neighbourhood and whole city. It will be a platform for artists to have exhibitions, a classroom for nearby students to learn artworks, a sheared studio for all people to communicate about art and life.
The station's south facade is too close to the public street, which lacks some separation and transition. The origin gate should be removed, and some void space should remain for transition. The new addition only occupies half of the inside hall space, infilling into the original building shell. In consideration of the circulation and enough spatial connection and separateness, the main entrance of the gallery is set on the east side of the building. The passageway links the two sides of the site, which is a place to set the entrance.

Gap and Connection with The Origin Building The subtraction to the foundation with altitude difference will highlight the presence of the old building. By sinking the main exhibition space underground, the addition part has to minimise its visual interruption to the old building elevations. Therefore, the main addition part will use the altitude difference and stay below the old building. The space underneath the ground may arouse visitors¡¯ feelings about time. And by putting function underneath will leave emptier in the old building, where time and light can go in.

Adaptive Formal Abstraction The form of the addition part should adapt to the original architecture. Classical overlapping in corners and decorations makes it distinct from the site. To make the new and old have both similarities and differences, the additional building abstracts the form of overlapping, thus it is both classic and modern; both western and eastern.

Underground Floor
The ground floor is on the same level as the south ground, but in the middle, the building is separated from the road by pools and gaps. On the west side, there is a public studio for nearby residents; On the east side, there is a main museum entrance and souvenir shops.
Taking advantage of the level change between northern street and southern road, there is an underground floor level that sinks into the ground. The space inside the underground floor goes continuously around some water pools, which can reflect the new and old buildings, symbolizing time, and letting people think deeply. Additionally, there are some restful courtyards located beside the water. Natural light is brought into the galleries through openings in each room, allowing exhibits to be viewed in natural light.
Second Floor The main court space is a single exhibition hall for presenting the building model and introducing the history of the building. The annex buildings are an art teaching classroom on the west and a management office area on the east.

COURTYARD DESIGN FOR THE RENOVATION OF AN OLD BUILDING: GUOLIANG ART STUDY CAMP Real Project with University Teachers Project Team: OR Architecture + Smart Construction of Villages Lead Architects: Xue Chujin, Hu Xiaoqing Design Team: Xiong Yan, Luo Sheng, Luo Wenshan, Zhao Honghao, Pan Lingfeng, Fu Zhouqi, Li Yixin, Lu Gongwen Cansultant: Zheng Changhui Client: Xinxiang South-Taihang Tourist Resort Structure Design: OR Architecture Huixian City, Xinxiang, China 2021 - 2022 In the summer of 2021, I was fortunate to participate in the "Smart Construction of Villages" team, where we worked on a realistic design project. Our task was to transform an old classroom building from the last century into an art sketching base, which was later named "Art study camp". We proposed that inside the building is the sleeping and living function, and the courtyard includes functions of shower, toilet, kitchen, and painting area. My work was to design of courtyard in front of an old building. I first drew some initial sketches, showing the basic organization and layout like where are the toilets, where is the kitchen, and its openness to the courtyard. Then in order to present the design to our client in an easier understanding way and show some construction details, I built the digital model. Although the final construction differed slightly from my initial design, I was pleased to see that some of my ideas in my initial design inspired later designs and were partly realized in the final construction.

MUSEUM OF OLD OBJECTS COLLECTION
Massing Generation of The Building
Architectural Design Studio (5): Intergrated 2 Instructor: Guo Xiang Individual Work Hankow, Wuhan, China Nov 2021 - Dec 2021 This project aims to design a museum in Hankow district, considering the rich and complex city context that emerged during the Confession era. The city began its development during this period and over the past 100 years, it has become a very mixed context with various styles of buildings. During my visit to the site, I notice that many places were constructing new buildings with while demolishing old ones. I think it can be a museum collecting the old objects in the place, including the old furniture, old artifacts and other items that commemorate the past daily life of local residents. The new museum will use the material from demolished buildings on the area to reconstruct the relationship between people, old objects and old buildings. The new museum itself can be an exhibit to showcase the original buildings through its exterior skin. If we recognize the material richness of the city, we can consider the city as a museum, and all the buildings and objects within it as meaningful exhibits. To demonstrate these concepts, there will be a path leading into and above the museum from the street. As visitors walk on this path, they can see different perspectives of the city.
