01 The Perfect Sandwich VR+ Museum Location: Manhattan, New York Individual Work, Academic Year 4, Semester 3, 06/2018 Instructor: Trax Wang dinojimwang@hotmail.com
The sandwiched refers to residual space between two buildings that has been a non-negligible part of modern cities. Often undefined, they undergo unplanned transformations, undertakes unexpected functions, playing important social roles in the quotidian. Taking data from site analysis, to unleash new potentials of the remaining space between the defined boundaries, I designed a new museum combined with habitation at a small sandwiched space between two residential buildings, in an area of high population density with rich historical and cultural context at the Upper East Side.

The sandwiched between urban space is in the middle of this streent facade, the buildings beside are all commercial use on ground floors and residential use on the upper floors.
The Upper East Side is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, it is now one of the most affluent neighborhoods in New York City, given the concentration of wealth found along the westernmost border of the neighborhood (i.e., Museum Mile and the Gold Coast).
The blocks in Upper East Side are almost full of buildings, building density is high in this neighbourhood.
The blocks in Upper East Side are almost full of buildings, building density is high in this neighborhood, and the buildings near the site are higher in this area.
Concept generation
Morphogenesis Combine the information of the locations of the museums in Manhattan and the population density together, I found that almost every museum locates in a block which has a low population density, especially in Upper East Side, they are on the 5th Avenue or near the bay where the population density is low while in the middle of the Upper East Side, there are no museums. If a museum locates in an area has a high population density, what will it look like?

Object-oriented ontology (OOO) is a 21st-century Heidegger-infuenced school of thought that rejects the privileging of human existence over the existence of nonhuman objects. Object-oriented ontology maintains that objects exist independently (as Kantian noumena) of human perception and are not ontologically exhausted by their relations with humans or other objects. Thus, for object-oriented ontologists, all relations, including those between nonhumans, distort their related objects in the same basic manner as human consciousness and exist on an equal footing with one another. We concentrate on a form of architecture that focuses on the post-human era, linking known architectural forms to the unknown artificial nature environment that may emerge in the future. The unknowns and confusions encountered in human activities will become the protagonists of architectural forms and functions, not just those defined by the functions of architectural presuppositions. Buildings, as a perceptual and autonomous object, not only interact with existing societies and environments, but also create their own culture and environment. Jumping out of the routine and thinking about the building as a steady-state structure, the building may also exhibit distinct shapes and functions from the space interval at different times. The above is an architectural understanding of the Object-Oriented Ontology theory. Following design is my response to the OOO theory.

The gallery looks like a big stone from the other side of the river. The basement of the building is mainly a reaction chamber of calcium carbonate, and the upper part of the building is filled with glass tubes to generate stalactites.
Step 1 In the first stage, small crystals began to precipitate gradually.
Step 2 In the second stage, crystals gradually precipitate and accumulate due to gravity, forming protrusions.
Step 3 In the third stage, sodium chloride particles accumulated more exaggeratively over time, forming a stalactite-like state.
Step 4 In the fourth stage, after a month, a stalagmite-like body of sodium chloride is finally formed.

During my first site visit, I was discontented by the messiness and lack of vitality in the area. The street shops and the buildings were mostly derelict, awaiting possible demolition by the government. What inspired me was the renewal design of Trafalgar Square, where Foster + Partners redesigned the square in 2000 based on pedestrian movement model research by Space Syntax. The most significant moves were the closure of the north side of the square to traffic and the creation of a broad new terrace and a major staircase into the body of Trafalgar Square, thus increasing the level of pedestrian movement by thirteen times, attracting tourists and residents to the space throughout the day. With reference to the Trafalgar Square method, during preliminary analysis, I investigated and summarized on site the key points and took them as the cores of human traffic. Meanwhile, their connections were generated by wooly paths, which became the traffic pattern of the whole block and connected the entire area.

Masterplan Analysis
There are several attractions near the site within the distance of 2500 meters. There used to be many textile industries in the site. And 2 underground lines can carry many people to arrive at the site. So I would design a culture-diven industry in the west part to connect the subways, and a business-driven industry such as SOHO in the east part. Due to lack of public space and high density of the buildings around, I would open the site more and create more public space.

Design of Adult Autism Nursery Center in Jinzhai, Anhui Graduation Design Location: Anhui, China Individual Work, Academic Year 5, Semester 3, 05/2019 Instructor: Aimin Wu sj_9001@shu.edu.com
The land for this project is located in the Modern Industrial Park of Jinzhai County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, west of Jinjiazhai Road, south of Jinshi Road, and adjacent to Xianhuajiayuan. The base area is 36.4 acres, about 24,244 square meters.

In view of the characteristics of autistic people, the internationally accepted integrated education for the rehabilitation of autistic children is basically blank in my country. There is no relevant support policy to help adult autistic people in employment. The high-end market for group training, employment, and elderly care is blank. It is under this situation that we are planning to build the first high-end health care center for autistic groups and their families.

Morphogenetic Analysis (Living Units)
Site Plan
Step 1 Excavate an area in the valley and set up a nursing care unit to form a sense of embrace with the mountain, giving people with autism a sufficient sense of security.
Step 2 According to the technical indicators and task book, 18 maintenance units are set up. Abandon the traditional quadrilateral layout and use hexagons to create a honeycomb-shaped autistic community.
Step 3 Arrange the units side by side in the accommodation area, according to the direction of building exit and sunshine.
Step 4 Decrease the height, increase the sense of security, and form a sense of patchwork, and make full use of the roof to create a roof garden.
Step 5 Connect the two-story units in pairs to form two enclosed courtyards, forming a sense of cohesion.
Step 6 Re-adjust the orientation and connection of the units to form three enclosed courtyards.
Step 7 Each group of units is formed in two groups, with a traffic core inserted to ensure that the evacuation conditions meet the specifications, forming two paths for each unit to pass inside and outside.
Step 8
Step 9 A corridor is planted between the atrium and the traffic core to fully connect the traffic core. The entire residential area thus forms a complete health care community for autistic people.
According to the terrain, adjust the position of each group of units and the height of the traffic core. Make full use of the different heights of each location, set up units of 2 to 4 floors (including the first basement), and put public functions underground.

Step 1 The mountain on the south side is leveled according to the hexagon of the autism conservation unit. The overall shape of the mountain i s p re s e r v e d , a n d t h e h e a l t h community is enclosed with the mountain on the north side.
Step 2 On each mountain, the hexagonal ring is used as the basic prototype, and 6 core functions are placed.
Step 3 According to the orientation and height, the hexagonal ring is broken to form respective semienclosed spaces.

The Stage
Severn House, The English Country House(ing) 2020 Post-graduate Work 1 Location: Bewdley, England Group Work of 2, Academic Year 1, Semester 1, 09/2019 Atelier USE: Urban Spatial Experimentation Manchester School of Architecture
This project aims to achieve the transition from the "stage" of Robert Plant's music to the "stage" of his life.
Lower Level On the lower level, the platform is combined with a recording studio, which can be used not only as a place to record demos, but also as a place for rehearsals. This floor is defined as a place of work.
As the lead singer and lyrician of Led Zeppelin, one of Britain's most famous rock bands of the 1970s, Robert Plant was born and lived in the area around Bewdley. He actively participates in local activities and gives back to the local community through performances. To some extent, he is the representative figure of the local, a local hero. In addition, after analyzing the surrounding environment of the site, we propose energy solutions suitable for the house in the area. This design of a new house is based on ecological construction, reusable materials and clean energy. On the basis of continuing the overall atmosphere of the original site, the remaining pillars of the original site will be reused. Give them new life by putting in new structures and forms. This project attempts to translate the stage presentation of Robert Plant into a house in a creative way. This local representative of Bewdley also makes the project relevant to vernacular.
29
Stage Level At the bottom level, the platform is backed by pillars, forming a stage facing the river bank. At this level, the platform becomes the link between the riverbank and the house.

The Calm Space Poveglia's Church
06 Of Life and Death Re-Use Island of Poveglia Post-graduate Work 2 Location: Poveglia, Italy Group Work of 2, Academic Year 1, Semester 2, 01/2020 Atelier USE: Urban Spatial Experimentation Manchester School of Architecture
The USE PS2 atelier brief is focused on the 're-use' of the island of Poveglia. Re-using existing spaces was an underlying principle of PS2. Using the site Poveglia, an abandoned site with a long dark while fascinating history, with a lot of ruins remained; it has further enhanced our imagination of how the place could be reused. We also visited the San Michele Cemetery, which triggered our first concept on the approach to the project. We were intrigued by how the Cemetery was facing the hospital which was a bit ironic for us, of how a building on sustaining life can be facing towards a dwelling for the dead. This was the beginning of our ideas on life and death on Poveglia. The definition of 'island' for our project is a form of isolation. An embryo in a mother's stomach is a form of isolation from the world. Whereas, when a person dies the person disconnects from the world.
The church is a space where people from different places gather. There are mixed emotions in a church. The church of Poveglia is a place which gathers the extremes of emotions- people who are suffering from the lost of the dead (sadness) and people who are celebrating birth (joy) . By bringing these emotions together, the church is a space where you should feel calm; where the person will be able to let go of all feelings to enjoy the peacefullness. The proposed design uses the exterior of the walls adding walls to prevent harsh light into the space. The existing tree in the middle of the building is kept with an additional build of water element. 33

The Journey
2. Corridor of life to Columbarium
Proposed Site Plan
Renderings and Elevations
The proposed design has two routes to the design- life and death. The death part of the proposal consists a crematorium and a columbarium associated with emotions of sadness and fear. The birth part of the design consists a birth centre associated with joy. The extremes of emotion are conjoined by a church and a multipurpose centre which facilitates a restaurant, yoga space, and market hall. A flower field is located at the end of the journey as a celebratory ritual of the journey. Outdoor seatings and water landscapes are scattered around on the island for people to enjoy the vast views of Poveglia.

This part of the journey transforms the emotion of the person, from feeling devasted and heavy into acceptance and love. This journey is translated into architectural language by using a timber frame cladded with existing timber fishing rods which transcends from full height to above head. The transition brings slowly brings light in which represents a person’s acceptance to losing a loved one.
The existing vegetation is kept to add life to the environment and prevent excessive light through the corridor.
The crematorium makes use of the existing structure adding cabinets for the niches with additional sanitary facilities. The shape of the niche is designed from the shape of a birth tray which symbolises a healthy birththe afterlife.
