Project 01

The Shell Snowland Culture Exhibition Hall / Based on Mechanics Principle Open Research-oriented Architectural Design, 2012 Exhibited Program Collaboration Work Date : 2013.3-2012.5 Site : Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China Tutor : Professor Cheng Sun Collaborator : Zhaoji Luo, Junda Xiang, Shuo Pan

Introduction Harbin, known as the 'ice city', is famous for its culture about ice and snow. The theme is to design a snowland culture exhibition hall while studying the characteristic of the exhibition space. The purpose is to express the special culture while exploring parametric design platform.

The exhibition hall covers an area of 8700 ㎥ . The building area is 10000 ㎥ . The function includes exhibition hall, store room, entrance hall, rest area, conference room, offices, etc. Students must finish all the work in 3 weeks.

Cold regions exist in many parts of the world.

Different region has different culture about ice and snow. A exhibition hall cannot only display some types of snowland culture. On the contrary, it has the responsibility to introduce different forms of the culture to people.

Based on this opinion, we make the main functions as winter sports gymnasium and culture experience museum. Thus, visitors will make themselves as part of the exhibition hall and won't get bored. As the environment around the site is a bit desolate, the form of the project is unrestrained.

The environment around the site is a bit desolate, so it bring little effects on the site and the project. On this occasion, we concentrate on the relationship among the spaces. Main spaces are independent, and they should be separated from each other to meet the demands of function and area. Auxiliary spaces, which function is to serve the main spaces, should be arranged around them. In this way, I found the relationship between them is like magnetic field, or the intermolecular forces, or the gravitational field in the universe. And this is the key of the whole logical relationship.

Junction High-rise Hotel Design Academic Design Studio Type : Collaboration Work Date : 2012.9-2012.11 Site : JIxi City, Neimenggu Province, China Tutor : Professor Shanshan Zhang Collaborator : Zhaoji Luo All presented are solo work

Introduction Nowadays, cities are developing rapidly. The scale of architectures and blocks is becoming larger and larger.

Residents feel uncomfortable because of the expansion of the cities. To solve this problem, I design a high-rise hotel including various functions of a downtown centre.

Thus, people can use the whole hotel as a tiny city for the accessibility of the buildings. In order to connect the highrise hotel and the nature together, I bring green garden, pedestrian path and some other landscape elements into the building.

The hotel is separated into 5 parts, and each part has its own function such as living, entertainment, conference, recreation, etc.

16

17

The site is located in the boundary of urban area and rural area. Constitution of population is complexed and varied. The main purpose of this site and the highrise hotel is to connect the two parts of Jixi City and make a harmony fusion.

The high-rise hotel will help developing adjacent area.

Introduction The site is located in Majiagou River bank, Harbin. There are nine important buildings around the site, forming several different function zoning, such as commercial center, educational center, residential center, etc.

After the research of site, I found some characteristics: 1 An abandoned factory exists in the site, some of the buildings have become landmarks.

2 The site is made of shantytowns. There are large amount of salvage station workers live in the site.

3 The river bank was once renewed, but landscape along the river is becoming deserted. Citizens can not use and interact with the river.

4 The site is closed to Harbin Institute of Technology. The particularity of college and students has an effect on the site.

The new urban developing requires structure that works in harmony with the site. To find a structure that can best represent urban fabrication, a grid network is created.

Primary road and existing urban fabrication.

Primary and secondary roads are developed, the scales are the same as urban fabrication around.

The second skin is developed for its interaction to take place from the first stages of the urban development. It also provides an extra way of transportation.

The road network system is adaptable to changes in adjacent unplanned development. The organizational way is to utilize minimal path system as an efficient sample to recognize the main network system.

Jointing established constructions and second skin, the urban area is developing and the population is growing. Expansion continues to occur.

Second skin engages with adjacent buildings, and once full growth is established, the second skin expands into new areas.

T-Extending Theme Pavilion Design of Middle East Architecture Culture Heritage Award of Excellence, Autodesk Revit Cup National College Students Sustainable Architecture Design Competition, 2012 Type : Competition Work / Collaboration Work Date : 2012.5-2012.7 Site : Zhalan Village, Neimenggu Province, China Tutor : Professor Chong Bu Collaborator : Qingzhi Lvi, Yuxuan Sun All presented are solo work

Introduction The site is located in Zhalan Village, Hulunbeier City, northeast part of China. Since the construction of the Middle East Railway during 1897 to 1937, Japanese Puppet Regime carried out the economic control policy, which was the prosperous period of Zhalan Village. Nowadays, there are still many historical buildings constructed during that period which constitute the culture of the city.

The purpose of the museum design is to arouse the interest in the Middle East Railway Architecture and to awake the awareness of protecting the historical buildings.

After analyzing the current situation of the site, I draw three major traffic stream line. On the basis of the three line, the form of project is created. What’s more, the form is similar to the “T” shape of the Middle East Railway.

Architecture is a kind of art which is created in the 3 dimension world. For a long time, architects are in the control of drawing tools, and thisfact hindered the development of architecture.

Nowadays, as a new upsurge in digital technology is in the making, computer technology provides efficient method for architects to create complex form.

As students, we hope to conclude some methods and rules, to try to design some complex forms, and to construct a model. We use density board as epidermis and framework. Then we build a small scale model to do some research on the characteristic and problem when the density boards are under stress.After the success of small scale model, a big scale model is constructed. The function of the big model is to provide a space for one person to relax. Based on the research before, we decided to divide the construction process into three parts. First, we build structural elements in one direction. Second, we build structural elements in the vertical direction. Third, we fix the model in the junction.

In order to make the space more interesting, we use PMMA with mirror panel on one side as epidermis. When people observing the model, they can see both their own image and the image around.

We have some experience about parametric modeling, so we take part in a competition. Competitors are asked to build a wall which length and width are both 2 meters. The wall must be self-supporting and be incline. The area of holes must be less than 60% of the whole area. The longer the distance between two salient is, the area of the whole model is, the more chance will competitors win.
