Re-appropriating modernist housing in Berlin

High line park : the change of role from scrapped railways to a green belt is welcomed by citizens, Which reflects various possibilities of architecture in human life.

Architecture is relative to almost every aspect of human's life. When mentioning architetcure, such image is often reflected: it is basically our container to live in as well as get protection from natural disaster." However, in my opinion, architecture is not only simply a container for us to live in, but also a stage on which there are various roles.

Re-appropriating the post-industrial landscape through community-led development

Tsinghua University

Firstly, architecture can deliver various senses to us, including the real sense of "home". "Home" is where we share love with other family members, to gain a feeling of belonging. It is also the ideal place for social contacts , to know people from different areas, and thus friendship is created.

Secondly, architetcure reveals historic traces to us, from the form outlined, materials used and structure utilised. It mixes together cultural symbols, art styles and technique skills, just like a thick professional dictionary to be deeply read.The research of the history could always be learned from preserved architecture.

Nowadays, architecture is already a hot topic in the society, among which the protection of traditional houses, the high technology applied in building processes, the contradiction of new and old architecture in the urban or the rural scale, etc, are vigourously discussed.

08 SURROUNDING VIEWING

For me, architecture is a subject that requires endless ways to think about and study, or we must stand on various perspective to understand it. As a student with background of architecture, I worked with urban design during the process of the graduate thesis, it made me seriously recognise its importance. It is essential to consider both architecture and urban design together, as they greatly influence each other. I would like to raise an example of the high line park in New York, which is converted from scrapped railways to vigourous green belt open to public. The green belt connects many places in the city and attracts people to walk up to relax from their stressful work. And the height of green belt has to avoid the interfering of lower transportation. From the successful case, we can see an architect's responsibility : to take care of human kind. Moreover, making architectural design is a type of cooperate work that requires many conditions. The portfolio records my 5-year effort on the way of studying and experiencing the architectural design, to connect closer between human and space, to create a better life.

This project is about how to make a long-range multi-stage design and social development for modernist housings in Mehringplatz, which is called Kiez Lab. As a typical area in Berlin with a very complex history, Mehringplatz has experienced various urban changes in different time period, and nowadays the housing estate there is facing lots of social and environmental problems. In the 6-week project, we address the questions by looking for spatial, functional and operational interventions from macro to micro aspect. The aim of project is developed by focusing on underused spaces and migrant residents in Mehringplatz and its surroundings, to explore solutions that recreate resilient and peaceful community.

Project Background

Our site is located at Castlegate market area in Sheffield City Centre, a place where famous Castle Market located until its demolition in 2013 and Sheffield City Council plans to build a park there. Throughout the site survey, we found many abandoned or underused buildings there, including Town Hall, Wilko upper floors and riverside houses. Except issues of abandoned houses there, Castlegate site will have large potential under the new park proposal, which means abundant greenspace and public space for future diversified activities.

Revitalisation of Nanjing Old City Walled Area Type: Academic studio/Joint Graduation Thesis of Urban Design Groupwork Location: Nanjiang, Jiangsu, China Collaborator: Yang Xinhui, Soo Hoo Yinghui, Xie Mengya My contribution: Concept 40%/ Analysis 50%/ Model 30%/ Detail Qinhuai River framework 100%/ Layout 80% Date: 2014.03-2014.06 Tutor: Associate Prof. Huang He City Wall, the well known historic heritage in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The area surrounded by City Wall is called Nanjing old city. The City Wall reflects the changes of six dynasties in the past. As the past artificial substance made by our ancients, the City Wall already lost military function nowadays. The transportation connects old city and new city is apparently blocked by the wall. Also there happens exposure of problems nearby Nanjing old city walled area and it bad life quality there losses attraction to people. The project is aim to renew Nanjing old city walled area, through design of slow lanes and nodes. We try to design peaceful and safe life atmosphere with sufficient greening for local residents, to ensure coexistence of historic heritage and modern life and thus to see the vigorous, clean and open city wall again.

The Fantastic and Diversified Past of Nanjing Old City

Development of Old City in the History

In the Dynasty of Ming, the industry of manual, commerce and education concentrated in the old city , and Nanjing was the most economic developed city in China that time.

Nanjing, an once capital city of six dynasties in the Chinese history, it is the capital of Jiangsu Province currently with location at the southwestern Jiangsu Province. There still preserves various traditional culture today.

Demolished historical area

The culture heritages are destructed

However, the conditions in the current Nanjing Old City are not very ideal, there exists a huge difference in contrast with its diversified historical background.

Current Human Life Conditions

The architectural density in the historical area is very high, and thus cause a lack of leisure space there.

手工業 Handicraft industry

The leisure activity among old Nanjing residents are various and characteristic. For example, lamp festival of Qinhuai River, scissoring art, mini sculpture etc.

Elderky population

There are diversified handicraft industries in the past Nanjing, including textile, printing, shipping making etc.

City established over 2480 years Capital established over 450 years

The population density is extremely high in the old city.

Population with low welfare

Great amount of ageing population in the old city.

Comparison of average yearly salary in all districts in Nanjing in 2012

Average salary of residents in the old city is relatively low in comparison with other districts.

Low volume rate in the historical area cannot satisfy the housing needs.

31


The Goal of Revitalization

Base on the current conditions and local residents' requirements, we are going to make detailed design in available space node and path, to add more public space to improve life quality. There are four main types of public space that we are going to add in the old city.

Type2: In the old town, to remove architecture with bad quality, substitute by adding open space design and various vagetation on the removed land.

Historic Conditions in the Nanjing Old City

Local Residents' Life Requirements

The life requirements from different groups of residents should be crucially considered in the design. They look forward various and comfortable leisure environment nearby their home.

32

Safety and no traffic congestion

Tea culture is the essential part of local residents' leisure life.

The width of street in the old city is suitable to walk and thus encourage public transportation instead of private cars.

Type3: In the industry area, according to the chance of development of cultural industry, we select some open space to build up skating park and other sports facilities to abstract more youngsters.

33


Slow Lane System and Detailed Design of Slow Lane in the Nanjing Old City According to the analysis of existing problems in the Nanjing old city and locals' general requirements of leisure space, we make the strategt of slow lanes for revitalization. My work concentrate on the detailed design of the city wall-Qinhuai River skeleton, including various types of slow lanes and node design. The aim of slow lane system is going to link each current greenland, residential area, transportation node and culture facilities, and re-design some selected nodes, to break the blocks of the city wall and hence to increase communication of in and out of the city wall and provide more leisure space for locals.

Section Plan F-F

A Main Slow Lane

Master Plan of Types of Slow Lanes Add green belt and colorful decorated overlay on the main road with high amount of vehicles, to divide vehicle lane and pavement. And the safety of pedestrains will be ensured.

B Slow Lane under the City Wall

From section plan F-F, there adds a new tunnel under the city wall, to break the blocking of the city wall in the communication of in and out. Thus the accessibility to the park outside the city wall increases, the residents who live beside the city wall won't go far away for the gate to reach the park. Moreover, the sink plaza at two ends of the tunnel provide ideal and sufficient open space for residents' group activity.

1 A

Section Plan E-E

Design new slow lane under the city wall to provide space for locals to do running, bicycling and other sports activities.And the landscape is the vital part in the whole design work, and thus comfortable leisure space and atmosphere are created.

In section plan E-E, the pedestrain bridge is added to increase communication of two sides of outer Qinhuai River. On the two sides of river, slow lanes are added for local residents' running and bicycling, which is in comfortable environment with good river views. The waterfront wood steps are not only used to decrease distinction of height on the bank, but also provide resting area with open views towards the river.

F F Covert back the road in the residential area that occupied by the vehicles to the pure slow lane, just only for residents walking and bicycling. And more vegetation and leisure plaza will be added to provide more space of outdoor activities for residents. v

Detail Design of Node at City Wall-Qinhuai River Skeleton Based on the slow lane system mentioned above, I selected some possible nodes along the City wall- Qinhuai River skeleton to make detailed design for revitalization. It is mainly to create ideal leisure space for both locals and visitors, and hence demolished area get vigor again. More and more people are going to be absorbed to access the river area.

The hotel's appearance transfers meaning of "The bamboo forest in the city", to add more fresh and green symbols in the urban city, also reflects the vigorous and healthy characters of Tsinghua University.

1. Human flow mainly come from two directions (Wudaokou and Zhongguancun, two large commercial area around Tsinghua University).

1.Nonideal Space of Main Entrance

1.Machinery room of huge volume directly stand before the main entrance. 2.Lack of landscape space to the public.

2. Correspond to 45 degree angle line of nearby road and architecture.

3. Open with 135 degree visual angle to the street.

4. Leave open space to avoid hiding the southern sunlight to the secondary school at the north of the site.

3.Two conference part block are added on the east of the hotel to keep away from heavy traffic in front of the hotel. Hence the quiet atmosphere is created.

4.Three entrances for vehicles of different types are created on the east side and the south side respectively.

Form Development

Existing Problems of the Current Hotel

38

The hotel’s height should be correspond to the height of the residential buildings to ensure good street view.

South sunlight emitting is very important to keep ideal reading environment for students.

2.Low Usage Rate of Other Entrances

1.The other entrances on the back of the hotel is locked all the time and almost no usage.

3.Nonideal Flow Path of Vehicle

1. All vehicles enter the hotel area share only one entrance/exit and inconvenience increases. 2. The respective path of guest vehicles and hotel vehicles are not clear.

1. In order to avoid too much shadow over the secondary school, the east side of the hotel is pushed back to leave space, also open space for ground parking is created.

2.The height of the guestroom tower is correspond to the high residential buildings on the west. And 135 degree angle visual angle is created for guests.

The choices of material are closely to the purity of nature, such as marble with rough appearance. And the major color is green to emphasis the fresh sense.

Interior Design The aim of interior design in the hotel is firstly to make a sense of comfort and hospitality to guests, also keeps the fluidity of architectural design. In order to correspond the concept of “The bamboo forest in the city�, Two main colors--light green decoration and creamy-white granite are exerted in the design, added with curve atrium of dark wood to make contrast. The curve atrium is used to mark the fludity of space. These three characters may make guests feel relaxing and comfortable from their busy trip.

07 TEA EXPERIENCE Museum of Tea Culture in Huanxiu Garden Type: Academic studio individual work Location: Suzhou, Jiangsu, China Duration: Year3, 2011.9-2013.11 Tutor: Prof. Xu Maoyan Drinking tea, the essential role in Suzhouers' socialism. Locals like to drink tea with friends when they end one days' work or in weekends. The project is a renew of traditional garden architecture in Suzhou by build up a museum of tea culture theme. The project rejects demolition of architecture, and keep all preserved trees to let them keeps growing in the new architecture. Matou wall, free layout, browing views and other local architecture symbols are applied in the museum design. The museun consists with garden and exhibition architecture. The views varies as visitors wandering in the museum, to get different spatial experiences, as like in the traditional Suzhou garden.

The site is in the Huanxiu Garden, one of the most famous Suzhou-style classical gardens. And nowadays the Chinese traditional embroidery institution is on the east of the site. Because the embroidery institution are going to remove, the local government decided to build up a new museum there .

Inside The Site

Historic Area

Tea culture in Suzhou is very famous and it deeply reflects local people’s daily lifestyle. Also, tea culture includes wonderful tea dance and history of production of tea. Moreover, local various teapots reveal Suzhou’s exquisite handcraft skills. There is still no existence of museum with tea theme in Suzhou so far, therefore I wish to combine tea culture and garden architecture characters together to make the design of museum.

Interior design is important in the museum design, which should be to match well with the museum theme. In order to cooperate the exhibition of teapot, I select wood of dark brown as material of the interior ground and furniture, and accompanied with dark grey ceiling and white wall.These colors are all usually used in Suzhoustyle classical garden, which are considered to create sense of quiet and comfort for visitors during appreciating the exhibition. Grid windows and hexagon window exert the concept of “borrowing scenery” , which provides beautiful garden views for relaxing in the exhibition. Moreover, sunlight emits througout these windows and then leave beautiful shadow inside.

08 SURROUNDING VIEWING

Site Background

Ecological Tourist Centre nearby Miyun Reservoir Type: Academic studio/ individual work Location: Beijing, China Duration: Year3, 2011.11-2012.01 Tutor: Prof. Liu Nianxiong The relationship between nature and human apart farther and farther nowadays, more and more human destroy nature environment to satisfy their desire of wealth. How do we make retrospection of our behaviours and recover the relationship with nature? The project is aim to build up ecological tourist center to recover demolished mountain. The tourist center owns wide views to mountains as the floor increases. Except relaxing in the nature, visitors can learn various environmental knowledges from exhibition in the tourist center. It encourages more and more people to improve their consiciousness of environment protection. Moreover, I applied some ecological technology in the design to reduce consumption of energy and keep fresh ventilation.

Physical Conditions in the Site

Destruction of Mountain's Ecological System The site is in the mountains adjacent to Beijing Miyun Reservoir. The mountains were mining for set up a quarry in 1980s and thus they are severely destroyed. The quarry traces, such as the approximately vertical excavation rock are still clearly visible nowadays, though the quarry has been abandoned for a long time. In order to recover these damaged mountains, we apply strategy of eco-architecture design to build up tourist center, which is considered to be part of ecological tourism in the district of Miyun Reservoir by government.

The design of louvers are considered to the differentce of sun angles in summer and winter. It can directly reflect strong sunlight and keep indoors cool down in summer. And In winter, the green Shading Louvers balcony can bring sunlight into rooms throughout reflection and hence keep indoors warm.

The 4.5m width space between west block wall and main building doesn't only reflect back strong sunlight in the summer, but also bring fresh air inside throughout the holes. The fresh air will rise up under hot compression and thus gas exchange West Block Wall occurs. Moreover, the green roof adjust the micro climate for healthy environment indoors.

The air come into the rooms rises up to the ventilated window on the upper floors and then exhaust to outdoors, therefore fast ventilation occurs all the day.

Site Analysis

Target Residence: Youngster

In the idea design, we care about the young, especially students who just graduate from school.

The site is located in Sopenkorpi district in the city of Lahti, Finland. There leaves plenty of red brick industrial architecture after remove of factory. And local government mention ARA 2049 plan to achieve the sustainable design goal in 2049 and collect design ideas throughout international competition. The aim of the competition is to consider the problem field of housing in the future and create possible solution.

2012 UA Concept Architectural Design Competition Location: Beijing, China Type: Group Work, Collaborate with Wang Yueting and Liang Zhao Duration: Year4, 2012.11-2012.12

This project is aim to create peaceful living atmosphere for migrated workers to feel more sense of "family". We use group residence mode to design U shaped apartment in the community. An group mode is useful to increase communication with neighborhood and create coadjutant atmosphere.

This project mentions two types of solution to face the storm in urban cities, especially for the passengers at the bus stop. We add adaptable structure such as moving blinds to reduce influence of rainwater inside. In another solution, the plantation wall is added to absorb exhaust gas of vehicles to decrease air pollution. The verticles pipe are installed in the centre of bus stop to collect rainwater.

Based on the past practices of urban regeneration of industrial buildings in UK, the thesis aims to study how sustainable urban cultural regeneration of industrial heritage can be done to meet the local neighbourhood’s real needs. It aims to investigate the current circumstance, understand local residents’ needs for spatial development and propose the adaptive use of industrial heritage to recreate a vibrant, inclusive and liveable community.
