Project

Born and raised in Shanghai. After lived in Shanghai for 17 years, is now living in Sydney. Being influenced by the colonial culture and heritage in Shanghai, I believe that architecture is something that can be innovative, while the culture and nature of the place always should be reserved.

Old culture, new technology and nature environment, these three elements are always be interdependant. Just like a triangle, changing one is bound to affect the others. I hope to keep this as the most significant interest for myself and always be passionate about it.

Pet Store + Natural History Museum

Location: 142 Clarence Street, Sydney, NSW, Australia

Sitting in the heart of Sydney’s CBD is a dual program medium rise building housing a pet store and natural history museum . This project filters, edits and emphasises certain aspects of two programs to integrate their physical and metaphysical connections and separations , resulting in a form comparing the living environment between domestic pets with wildlife animals.

The façade replicated the appearance of the adjacent buildings, in terms of the shapes of the window on each floor plate. The interior space introduces different floor heights that refers to the metaphysical representations of cages (for pets) and display stands (for museum).

Visitors can physically travel back and forth between different levels and learn about pet domestication history.

The contrasting programs resulted in a uniquely creative proposed design, simultaneously, engaging and intriguing visitors.

Shared space for different groups

Location: 14 26 Wattle Street, Pyrmont, NSW, Australia

This project proposes to build a mixed-use swimming, floating and leisure space on the former quarry site in Pyrmont for swimming teaching and local sporting events, with a range of facilities and supports areas. This project combines three aspects of function, form and space to practice the concept of "sharing space": split into two, from whole to part, from single to binary.

Pyrmont is an inner suburb that is undergoing considerable change with the construction of new civil projects as well as the expansion of the existing Sydney Fish Market. Additionally, with the future Metro transportation system in the region, the daily flow of people and the composition of the local population will certainly change as the size of the population grows. Therefore, there is a great opportunity to explore new mixed-use spaces.

In this design, it is proposed to build an aquatic centre, which will not only as a complement to surrounding sport facilities and venues, but also as a space for community intercation. The division according to function, space and form is conducive to extension of spatial meaning. On the premise of meeting the basic needs, create a positive shared space

Design Logic

The spaces used for coaching and training, for hosting sporting events and for shared use by citizens vary considerably in function and form.

than mixing these requirements incongruously, separate them. Therefore, the aquatic centre is divided into two parts, one half to meet the needs of professional use and the other half to meet the needs of citizen participation. At the same time, they are connected in a way that creates a shared space between the groups.

In the initial design stage of this project, there is this concept of Separation and Communication.

The idea of separation has been around for as long as human society has existed. By dividing spaces and people, the society creates orders and thus achieves great efficiencies Disrupting order causes troubles and chaos. Yet nowadays, people are pursuing more of connnection and communication They are no longer living independently. Interactions between different groups can bring more possibilites, and therefore creating different spaces that meet people's needs.

This Urban Oasis Pool project, has selected a community aquatic centre as an experimental sample to explore and practice the idea of shared space and life. From another perspective, water can also be seen as a symbol of bringing everything together. Water will not be separated by rocks, it will eventually find a way to come together as whole. The ultimate meaning of "shared" is to become "one" This is what this project really wants to express.

Train Museum

Extracurricular Work 2021 (tutored by Chi Zheng)

Location: Carriagework - 245 Wilson Street, Eveleigh, NSW, Australia

The Redfern North Eveleigh Precinct was historically used for industrial railway purposes. Following the WWII, the site experienced significant decline due to improved rail and carriage technology, it was eventually closed in 1989. Nowadays, there are heritage buildings of varying quality, the most notable one, the Carriageworks, has been re-purposed for contemporary use. The site has presented opportunities to strengthen the cultural significance and further enhance its sense of place

The selected site is within this Redfern North Eveleigh Precinct and sits along the railways. The project aims to maximize the potential of the area, to create an innovation and culture hub that delivers overall community benefit by creating vibrant, high quality public places. The whole design consists of museum, retails, public domains and other infrastructures wishing to attract visitation and connect community to the selected site in a meaningful way.

Evolve Community

Social Housing for young couple with child(ren)

Location: 74-78 Perry Street, Dundas Valley, NSW, Australia

The Evolve Soical Housing project, a series of individual homes for 8 families, is designed to create a community for the young couples with child(ren) that encouraging interaction, diversity, and physical, mental and environmental health. The proposals considers the issues from different principles and create a model of social housing for local community.

This project comprises of single-storey and double-storey houses formed around a central common space and green areas which could hold neighbourhood events. The internal organisation of houses are programmatically planned with ideas taken from Jørn Utzonrestructuring modulars to create various layouts

House Redvelopment

Designed in collaboration with Luke Wang

Location: 19 Council St, St Peter's, NSW, Australia

This project reconfigures a terrace house on a corner site in St Peter’s, with the goal of improving spatial organization, introducing more natural light to achieve better living quality, while keeping most of its original façade feature and form.

Alterations and additions include reconfigurations of internal layout, floor height, an additional attic space and innovation of backyard entrance and exterior side wall.

The whole process simulates the submission of complete documents for housing renovation and redevelopment to the local council. A series of drawings are prepared as a practical DA application, as well as a detailed Statement of Environmental Effects.

Westmead River City

Students & Residents

Location: Cumberland Hospital, Westmead, NSW, Australia [Group Work]

Taking the Parramatta River as the focus point, redeveloping the undervalued and unused riverbank with public activities for local residents as well as the relationship between different crowd behaviours and spaces. On the basis of the Westmead Place Strategy 2036, a USYD campus extension is placed to reshape the waterfront and activate the community public space

The final planning and the design layout for the area aim to encourage the interaction between different groups and users while ensure their independent activity areas are not disturbed. Eventually, the overall performance of the area can stimulate the local economy growth, and aligned with the Central River City Vision: centred on world-class health, education and research institurions as well as finance, business services and administration"

River System

Sustainability has always been a driving force behind the design. We are not just planning the area of Westmead, but also the whole Parramatta, which aims to strengthen the connections between Westmead and the surrounding area. The Parramattan is a compact city, while the Westmead is the compact sub-city that will meet the needs of the residents and support the other precincts, like Parramatta CBD, North Parramatta, and East Parramatta, by sufficient housing, health and education economy, and green infrastructure.

Identify Constraints & Problems

-- VISIONS & KEY MOVES --

"The Westmead river city will be sustainable, rich multicultural, and well-connected community and diverse and unique cityscape including the Parramatta river, and ecosystem of health, education and business."

Live Together

Extracurricular Work 2022 (tutored by Chi Zheng)

Location: Fenghuang Town, Changsha, Hunan, China

Setting people as the starting point, this town renewal project aims to sort out the conflicts between local residents and foreign tourists On the basis of the original texture of the site, a vibrant shared block is placed to reshape the waterfront space and activate the community public space.

Through this design, residents and tourists can better interact with each other while their repectively independent activity areas are still be apart. Eventually, the tourism industry will feed back the development of the region and the vision of harmonious coexistence between tourists and residents will be achieved.

DIAGRAMS--

The shared plate is located on the shared axis. Both ends of the plate accept two core nodes (the market and waterfront square at the north end, and the commercial node at the south end). The proportion of local residents in the central part is relatively high.

When nodes are arranged along the axis, the activity from both ends of the plate to the inside of the plate decreases, and the main body of the crowd served by the node becomes more community-oriented (introverted) as the activity decreases.

The sharing section considers that the crowd nodes entering from the north and south have different experience order, forming two traffic flow lines.
