To deal with urban overgrowth and scarcity of land resources This project is predicated upon the escalating challenges stemming from heightened urbanization, where university campuses grapple with the paradox of constrained urban spatial resources against a backdrop of steadily increasing student enrollment. It endeavors to offer a forward-looking perspective, using merology reconstruction as a method framework to reconstruct the past buildings of universities, breaking the traditional spatial system and creating a more intensive and shared new type of university campus.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
UNIVERSITY-RELATED DATA
DESIGN PRECEDENT
In 1952, Haidian District of Beijing designated the college district, and over the next 40 years, 25 universities were built here. With the continuous expansion of enrollment and the encroachment of various research institutes and affiliated schools on school land, many universities are no longer able to accommodate such a large number of students. Since the region has a very high-quality research location advantage, blindly relocating is not a good choice. The renewal of some old buildings and the construction of large-scale buildings provide opportunities to increase the carrying capacity of universities.

DESIGN PROPOSAL
STRATEGY2: The combination of old buildings and new discrete buildings The construction time of many universities in Haidian District was before the expansion of enrollment, and indicators such as building area were often determined based on the scale of the school at that time, resulting in the inability to accommodate more students today. In addition,
STRATEGY1: Discrete University Complex Propose a high-density "vertical university complex" concept to replace old, low-density, low plot ratio, and soon to be demolished buildings on the campus. In this complex, various functional clusters for daily life and learning are concentrated, and each cluster is connected through reasonable vertical and transverse transportation, which can accommodate about 2500 students and form a relatively complete college student circle. Modular and discrete design and construction patterns contribute to rapid construction.

newly built buildings nowadays often have excessively large volumes to compensate for this problem, resulting in a very inconsistent appearance. Using the idea of mereology to break the traditional space of old buildings and construct new shared and public learning and living spaces in a discrete manner can not only expand the space and function of old buildings, but also build connections between new and old buildings

Overview and distribution of the primary industry in Limpopo Province, South Africa
The project is located in Ngalavhani, a smallholder farming village in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Limpopo province, influenced by the apartheid, has developed into two agricultural systems: commercial farms dominated by white people and black smallholder farms. Developed commercial farms have severely squeezed the market for smallholder agriculture, and the lack of water and land has led to the impoverishment of local smallholders. Thus, the project proposes three strategies of building a cooperative system, land consolidation and building a new type of family to energize the development of the village. The three strategies correspond to the three types of space of office, housing and farmland respectively. The office space serves as the service site of the cooperative, playing a role in field management, enhancing crop added value at different stages, and managing rural construction. The main purpose of residential space design is to improve the living conditions of local residents. While for farmland, some water-saving and governance strategies have been proposed to improve planting yield. The entire design consists of three construction stages, with the goal of building a new type of small village that can gradually realize prosperity through collaborative development.

Covering crops with black mulch film can effectively reduce irrigation water evaporation and suppress weed growth. The root system of farmland shelterbelts can enhance soil structure and water retention capacity, while also serving as a means of wind and sand fixation.
During the dry season, farmers dig wells on seasonal rivers to extract groundwater stored through sand dam. After filling water into the hippo roller, farmers can easily push the hippo roller away like a cart, greatly improving the efficiency of water transportation.
Drip irrigation minimizes evaporation losses and allows flexible control over irrigation timing. Farmers can easily transport water from seasonal rivers to drip irrigation systems using hippo rollers.
There are many easily picked crops such as mangoes and nuts planted, which has led to a serious problem of theft in the past. The construction of watchtowers can effectively avoid this problem and provide resting places for farmers.

To design a hybrid housing units for multiple group of people in Beijing "Space-society" is interactive. The unsustainability of space production in the context of rapid urbanization reflects many social problems, such as the problem of land equity brought about by gentrification; the problem of "space alienation" caused by the lack of communication between people. The project is located in a shantytown plot in Beijing that is about to be demolished for urban renewal. The project aims to propose a solution to the social problems existing in the process of "urban renewal" based on the "spatial production theory".
BEI SHA TAN,BEIJING | Site Mapping
SPACE PRODUCTION | Design Logic
The site is located in Haidian District, the central city of Beijing. Due to different construction times, different planning modes, and different users, many types of residential communities have emerged around the site. The site is located in one of the shanty towns in Haidian District. The houses within the plot have been demolished, and the surrounding shanty towns are about to be demolished.
"Space" should not be just a "container" outside the actual social and historical process, but full of complex products of various ideologies and social production relations. "Space production" can explain the urban process very intuitively.

Multi-sectional Perspective Open community is to increase public space and enrich community life. The residence adopts a courtyard-style layout, which can not only eliminate the problem of weakening privacy caused by an open community, but also be closer to the compound-style unit system of the past, which can increase the communication between neighbors and enhance the sense of belonging of residents. The floor areas and outdoor space of the building are public activity spaces. A wealth of public spaces such as small businesses, health care, maker markets, community activity centers, theaters, and gyms to meet the communication and entertainment needs of people of different ages and hobbies.

SMART COMMUNITY | Customized Design and Social Media
Considering that people of the same age and class can get along better and create a sense of belonging, each residential building is designed for different groups. Therefore, differentiated settings have been made for public space functions and apartment types. In addition, building a community platform application can not only better practice the principle of time-sharing allocation, make full use of limited public space, but also organize rich social activities based on this platform to achieve mutual benefit and mutual assistance among different groups in the community.

To design a museum to trigger distinctive emotions
It may not be instinctive to first think about how it makes you feel when you walk into a building, but architecture has always had a huge impact on emotions. Different rooms are designed to convey different emotions to the occupants. Each of these spaces is completely different and much more than just a building.

The rounded spatial form in natural light with pure white material, a relaxed atmosphere is created, laying the groundwork for the subsequent ups and downs of the plot.
This chapter is about the silent space, a calm atmosphere through larger spatial scales, unmodified concrete slabs, and light and shadow.
The mottled concrete: an uncertainty is enhanced through lower story heights, dark environments, winding flow lines, array of stone pillars, and irregular obstacles.
The fourth chapter uses red paint to stimulate people's excitement. A warm atmosphere shape rich light and shadow with a dazzling effects through reflective materials.
There are two layers inside: the lower is dark with a hazy point light, representing nostalgia. The upper is a courtyard wrapped in carbonized wood, which is compassion.
The passage gradually transforms from cold stone to bright warm colors, and light and shadow gradually scatter in, bringing a sense of divine redemption to people.
The wall is decorated with plain concrete. Natural light that passes through colored glass and undergoes reflections becomes softer and calms the mood.

The halls have two different channels, and the unknown can enhance visitors' expectations. Then fear and excitement, respectively. Experience from strong negative emotions to strong positive emotions, leading the visit to a climax. After the excitement, the sudden transition from great joy to great sorrow brings inner shock and contemplation.

Yangpu Riverside is located on the west bank of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, where a large number of factories gathered in the last century. Nowadays, most of the industrial sites here have been preserved. The most impressive industrial heritage for me is the huge tower crane by the river, but not being able to climb it has brought me many regrets. Therefore, I would like to design an observation pavilion that imitate the structure of tower cranes and industrial materials, and to incorporate activities like observation,walk a dog, skateboarding,chating,dating.
