EGGBOX ORIGAMI

High-rise Wooden Structure

Chicago, IL, USA 2021.01-2021.05

Instructor: Daniel Baerlecken

The project originated from eggbox origami. Initially, I used the basic unit and made a model to study its folding method. Then, deform each unit, change the angle of the surface, and then fold it up to become a curved surface. After a series of attempts, I found that they will have more possibilities on the roof. This is a raised surface that will touch the ground at corners. This shape is very suitable for use as a market. The roof of the market is composed of small basic units, as well as panels for each unit. The sunlight will pass through the colored frosted glass, thus presenting a changing light in the market. The middle part of this market is the most important part, and some fashion events will be held here. There is a big staircase in the middle. Models can walk around the stairs. Visitors can sit on the stairs to watch fashion events and enjoy the scenery outside the building.

THE PLATFORM Low-carbon Gallery Renovation

Atlanta, GA, USA 2020.01-2020.05

Instructor: Heather Ligler

This project will explore renewable buildings. It aims to fundamentally reduce the consumption of raw materials and non-renewable energy in the building life cycle, and reshape design practices to alleviate the current degraded global environmental health. The location of the project is south of downtown Atlanta, at the intersection of Peachtree Street and Martin Luther King Avenue. The H.L Green building is a masonry building with modern decoration, built in 1933. This project will renovate this building into a composite building of gallery and micro-units. My idea is to provide outdoor platforms for residents living in micro-units, make my galleries more open, and ultimately activate the community.

Concepts

My idea is to provide outdoor platforms for residents living in micro-units, make my galleries more open, and ultimately activate the community. I designed a large staircase on the upper part of the gallery. Visitors can enter the gallery directly through the staircase, which is the second entrance of the gallery.

At the same time, the stairs will attract more people to visit the gallery. The upper space of the gallery has a larger CLT structure slope, and some small platforms are placed on the slope for outdoor exhibitions. These exhibition platforms are well connected between the gallery and the living units.

Community Analysis

Based on the urban background of the site, I analyzed the orientation of the gallery and the location of the living space. Therefore, according to the location of the tower and the direction of the slope, it will gennerate eight different iterations. 13

Finally, I placed the main entrance on Peachtree Road, and placed the living tower on the back side, which made the outdoor gallery more open.

Under the micro-units is a commercial space, and there is an outdoor space connected to an exhibition platform. In addition, within the community, it provides residents with outdoor activity space.

Material Transformation

In terms of materials, I use recycled cement to make gabion walls. In this way, light can pass through the gabion wall to reach the indoor gallery and get enough lighting in the gallery.

Then, I used the recycled brick walls as the exterior walls of the apartment, and then assembled them in different ways. The internal structure of the apartment will be made of glulam columns and beams. 16

URBAN FIELDS District 7 Urban Youth Farm

Atlanta, GA, USA 2020.08-2020.12

Group work: Yuanwei Guo, Ishwar Ramnarine Instructor:Herman Howard

To create an interconnected campus of buildings, pavilions, and fields that architecture and programmatically transition between man and nature by creating dramatic sight lies, and sequential experiences that relate farming, food preparation, food consumption, physical exercise and nature into one location. Our team focused on fields design. It primarily focuses on the integration of orchards, free of planter boxes, with areas that are occupied by planter boxes, mostly along the major axes of transition. This layout also has four vertical axes. In our farm, learning to grow crops or buying products locally is a way to get the freshest and most delicious fruits and vegetables. In addition, choosing local products will also reduce fossil fuel consumption during transportation.

It focus on an axial procession from the Store at the entrance of the site to the Large Greenhouse at the end of the fields. The layout also focuses on textural zones for the horizontal plane. There are areas with grass, gravel, decorative stones, brick pavers, and soil. The layout strategically locates the chicken coops and the composting to the north, with the heavy machinery storage building nearby for easy access. The beehives are also located to the south, in a secluded area, but also along a trail, for both safety and accessibility. It also provides a variety of seating throughout the fields. There is a connecting between the water collection system of the Large Greenhouse and the fountain as well.

Garden Columbarium Meditation

Atlanta, GA, USA 2019.08-2019.11

Instructor: Michael Gamble

This project is to build colubarium, meditation and garden. I chose an site where a bridge originally existed, then I extended the bridge and built a garden. The entire project was built on the basis of a garden. People come to this garden on both sides of the strait to meditate, and then they can enter the cemetery to honor their loved ones. In addition, people can take a boat to the platform below the garden and directly enter the cemetery. There are several different routes in the meditation space, and people can explore this space to get different routes. Over time, plants will occupy this land, and walls will be hidden in plants. These plants symbolize life and represent the lost life.

Inspiration

Angkor Watt Over time, the building gradually dilapidated, and the plants gradually overlapped the previous land.

Site Plan

There used to be a bridge, and then I extended it and built a garden. The entire project was built on the basis of a garden. People can come to this garden through the two shores, or by boat to the cemetery.

City Ventilator City Library

Wuhan, China 2017.04-2017.06 How long have you been to the library? Do you still go to the library to read books? What position does the library occupy in your life? Nowadays, the world has entered a period of knowledge surplus, and people's access to knowledge is more convenient and abundant. When people do not want to go to the library, the functions of the library are suddenly weakened. Should libraries still exist? What functions should be in place? As a collection and management of cultural creativity, how do libraries promote and create new cultures in the contemporary era to attract young residents? The library is designed to explore the new functions of the library and awaken the vitality of the library. Under this goal, young people are willing to spend the weekend in the library, absorb new knowledge and experience new cultural ideas while relaxing. The library will become the city's breathing machine.

The project is located in the core area of Wuchang Binjiang Business District, which is a new development zone in the central city of Wuhan. Peripheral Support The project is located on Binhe Avenue and the Wuhan Green Space Center is located in its southwest direction (606m), which is full of schools, offices, shopping malls, hotels, cultural centers and so on.

Fabric Up City Extend of the Hutong

Beijing, China 2016.09-2016.11 Beijing's Dafangjia hutong area has begun to dilapidate, the human living environment of which is worrying, and it forms a stark contrast with the surrounded high-rise buildings. When living in the comfortable modern living environment, should we discard hutongs as "garbage"? Hutong space itself will no longer matters, because the shape and mode of space is the regional projection of social and economic activities, and the times has changed. The forced retention of the ecological space of hutong is no longer in accordance with the law of social development. After understanding the law of the development of space itself, I put forward the concept of "upward fabric of the city". This newly created space will continue to stretch upward and to be injected with new vitality, and finally it will form a new look of the city.

Finding Because of the narrow roads in the Dafangjia hutong area, people there travel mostly by walking, cycling, motorcycles and tricycles.In this area, random parking, temporary stalls and other phenomena are existing problems, thus the health environment is worrying. In addition, due to the early time of the completion of the residential area, the majority living in there are the middle-aged people and the elders, therefore it is a common phenomenon that the elders walk their dog there.

The passage volume of the street ranges from maximum to minimum, and is divided into ten numerical segments. The highest value segment is expressed in red, and the lowest value segment is expressed in blue. In the case of isokinetic systems, the cities’ highly integrated streets and the highly selective streets are often the same. Only in modern cities, in the case of differential speed system, it will occur the phenonmenon that the high degree of integration (global or local) streets and the high degree of choice of the street are separated with each other.

After correction In the feedback given by Dethmap, the hutongs showed a high level of passage volume because of the dense streets. However, in the actual situation, the traffic volume of the main road is much larger than that of the hutongs. In response, I have corrected the feedback chart given by the software. The closer when people get to the main road, the greater the passage volume is.

At this stage, I simulated my final idea with Grasshopper Progamme. The project will be divided into four units at the intersection, select each of the four units, then select one of the units as a group, and finially connect the nearest units. And according to the traffic flow at each unit, it is convenient to give the force and direction of each unit, and they will interact with each other.

This will create different spaces to attract different facilities and buildings. In short, we can see this newly created space will continue to stretch upward and be injected with new vitality; we will form a new cloud city here.

Luban Memorial Building High-rise Wooden Structure Tengzhou, China 2015.09-2015.11 As the process of urbanization accelerates, it is necessary to formulate and implement a variety of low-carbon building solutions. The multi-highrise wooden structure building can not only reduce greenhouse gas emission, but also meet the demand of urban dense population for housing, which is one of the important strategies of urban development. High-rise wooden structure building is not a new form of architecture. In fact, high-rise wooden structures buildings have existed for centuries. Built in 1056, the Yingxian wooden pagoda in yingxian county, Shanxi Province, is 67 meters high and is considered to be one of the world’s tallest existing wooden structures. Traditional Chinese architecture is dominated by wooden buildings and constitutes a flexible framework. The key technology of this kind of wooden structure is the tenon structure, that is, the connection between the wooden parts does not require the auxiliary connection components made of other materials, mainly relying on the insertion of at least two pieces of wood. The connection mode of this component makes the wood structure have obvious advantages, such as flexible structural features, strong earthquake resistance, prefabrication, site assembly, and short construction period. However, the wooden structure gradually died out over time, because most modern high-rise buildings use reinforced concrete structure. This work will explore the possibility of wood structure in high-rise design.

Introduction of wood architecture Large palace-style wooden structure consisting of thousands of wooden components. With so many pieces of wood removed, the rest of the parts are almost all tied together. Tenon is the main structural form of ancient Chinese architecture. It is a connection method that combines concave and convex parts on two components. It features without the use of nails on objects and the use of tenon reinforced objects.

There are many types of tenon, and these types of shapes are not only directly related to the function of tenon, but also related to the position of the wood members, the combination angle of the components, the combination method, the installation order and the installation method.

Chapiter corbel bracket

At the intersection of the column and the beam, a layer of layers added from the top of the column to form a bow-shaped load-bearing structure is called an arch. The square block of the pad between the arch and the arch is called a bucket, which is called a bucket arch.

Angle corbel bracket

The corner arch is a bucket arch placed in the corner of the building. Due to the directionality at the corner, one end of the bucket member is a member in the width direction direction, and the other end is a member in the depth direction. The members in both directions also intersect the diagonal members in the diagonal direction. It is the most complicated structure in all the arches.

Refers to the tower body, surrounded by a circle around the outer porch.

Post-and-lintel construction

On the top of the column or on the column net, the horizontally laid layers are stacked along the depth of the house. The beams are shortened layer by layer to form a triangular roof truss.

Many interesting activities take place in the building, and the office, leisure and residential buildings are integrated into the building to meet the basic needs of people. In addition, the building provides a wealth of resources for outdoor activities, and adults and children can enjoy playing on the balcony, and there is an interactive platform between the neighbors, which can enhance communication between people.

Luban Memorial Building The construction of highrise wooden construction in Tengzhou will arouse people's innovation and exploration of wood components and achieve the commemorative significance of Luban. The wooden structure has the advantages of flexible structure, strong shock resistance, prefabrication, on-site assembly, and short construction period.
