Motivation letter

The Master of Arts in Urban Design at the National University of Singapore (NUS) includes interdisciplinary courses such as Urban Economics, connecting urban design with challenges, economic inclusivity, and environmental sustainability, which provides an opportunity to fulfill my desire for interdisciplinary learning and gain insights into various disciplines. The Methods and Tools for Urban Design course at NUS will teach me how to use GIS, enabling rational analysis of urban issues, city needs, and future development trends. While my undergraduate program involved projects like landscape parks and some urban planning scales, it did not provide specialized theoretical foundations. Studying Urban Design Theory and Discourse at NUS will address this gap, offering a comprehensive understanding of the socioeconomic driving factors, physical elements in urban design, specific impacts on urban design, and how to respond to these issues.

The Critiques of Contemporary Urban Design course will also help me develop a critical understanding of emerging urban designs.

Annual working hours per worker

As can be clearly seen from the graph, Annual working hours per worker in Western countries have dwindled since 1950, while working hours in Singapore, China, India and South Korea are still high today. Taking 365 days a year as an example, removing 8 hours of sleep and 2 hours of eating a day leaves 5,110 hours, while the average annual work time is more than 2,000 hours. Workers in Eastern countries spend about half of the year at work and are extremely busy.

Principle

*Average working hours per worker over an entire year.

Estimating cover total hours worked in the economy as measure primarily from National Accounts data.

5 sense

Optical and thermal senses control the voltage propagation of generator and change the color of the electrochromic glass.

Color-changing principle

PV glass

3 layers of electrochomic glass superposition, colorchanging interval is: RedGreen, Orange-Blue and Yeloow-Purple, through parallel placement, superposition to form variety of colors.

PV glass is randomly distributed in the glass sandwich of the shell according to the illumination.

Dynamo Power source

The sun is converted into electrivity through the photovoltaic glass plate, which powers the electrochromic glass and causes it to change color.

Light pipe

We live our world through the five basic senses of taste, touch, sight, sound, and smell. Any type of receptor input has the ability to change our perceptions of our physical, intellectual, emotional, and social world.

Light-guide fibre

Sight Sight is the first sense we learn to understand. Colors, sizes, and everything else that we process visually has to do with our sight. Sight and emotion are connected. Sight can be idiosyncratic, as some people enjoy sunshine and color.

Taste People tend to associate metaphoric feelings of happiness with sweet foods, while sadness are associated with bitter foods. Moreover there's a link to taste and memory, as certain foods can impact mood based on past experiences.

Smell Past emotions and memories connected to a specific smell tend to take hold when that same smell is released in the environment. Smell may actually have a stronger impact on mood than taste.

Touch Touch is the way that we engage in a given environment. Our sense of touch relies on communication within our brain in regard to impulses and automatic body responses.

When the 5 senses are combined with the structure, I think sight is the most easily influenced. Therefore, I have an idea - whether a device that changes the color of the environment can allow pedestrians to adjust their emotions during the walking process.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1810) Penning his Theory of Colors, symbolizing the emergence of a theory of color and psychological function (linked color categories to emotional reponding).

Kurt Goldstein (1942) Expanding on Goethe’s intuitions, positing that certain colors produce systematic physiological reactions manifest in emotional experience , cognitive orientation , and overt action.

Michael D. Robinson & Brian P. Meier(2005) Having posited a conceptual metaphor theory of color. People talk and think about abstract concepts in concrete terms grounded in perceptual experience to help them understand and navigate their social world.

Andrew J. Elliot & Markus Maier(2012) Having proposed color-in-context theory, which draws on social learning, as well as biology. Some responses to color stimuli are presumed to be solely due to the repeated pairing of color and particular concepts, messages, and experiences.

Ioannis Kareklas(2014) Color has three basic properties: hue, lightness, and chroma.

Variation in any or all of these properties could influence downstream affect, cognition, or behavior.

Electrochromic glass

Therefore, I want to design a mood adjustment installation for the core financial district similar to the China World Trade Center. Due to the huge workload during the day, it is impossible for people to stop, meditate and calm down. However, colour psychology is a good bridge to connect buildings and people’s mood, because vision is more straightforward than smell and hearing. So, I wanted to help people adjust their mood more quickly by changing the colour of their surroundings altogether.

Color psychology

Work period

Because of working pressure and fast pace of life, people walking on the road are always too busy to reach the destination so that they often bring negative moods.

While people know that their mood is a major factor in their productivity, physical and mental health, they don’t have enough time to adjust.

1990

Daily task

With the development of era, people’s pace of life is getting faster and faster.

Although people have much more money than before, people’s mood is becoming worse and worse.

As the CBD of Beijing, the China World Trade Center (CWTC) is a microcosm of the huge city. Office workers gathered here during the day, and night will be sparsely populated in this region.

Zone A is located on the north-west side of the Guomao Bridge, adjacent to Exits A, B, E1 and E2 of the Metro Line 10 and Line 1 Interchange. It extends from the China World Trade Centre in the south to the New China World Trade Centre Hotel in the north. There are many office buildings and shopping malls, and the pedestrian flow is high (especially in the morning and evening rush hours). The neighbourhood has a high number of motorways and staggered pavements.

Area C is located on the north-east side of the Guomao Bridge, adjacent to Exit B and Exit C of Metro Line 10. The area is divided into 2 main blocks, the CCTV and the new office area. The road system of the northern side is relatively simple, as the CCTV office area is closed. On the other hand, the office area on the southern side is more scattered, with more paths, accessible by both motor vehicles and footpaths. There are mainly office-based without recreational functions, requiring frequent trips to Area A for meals.

Functions

Due to the existence of the Guomao Bridge, the flow of people is mainly concentrated in the north and south corners of the west side of the bridge, and the composite function is also concentrated in these two places, so it is very crucial to connect these two places. A large number of vehicles pass from east to west, and the road is wide, so the underpass is a better choice.

Pedestrian flows are relatively sparse through the junction, travelling mainly to the restaurants on the north side and to a lesser extent to the southern part of the ITC mall, but due to the presence of a large number of built-in lanes, the pedestrian routes are more dispersed and cannot be made continuous, and need to be effectively traversed through the bridge.

Zone A-4

Thermal

Functions

As the main intersection of the current CWTC and the eastern office area, the pedestrian flow is mainly concentrated in the south-west corner of the intersection, the west side of the function is more complex; east, single. Due to the Guomao Bridge, the road surface is wide, the north-south traffic flow is large, need to be connected to the underpass.

In Beijing, China, social development was so rapid that the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, built in 1909, had to be demolished and turned underground to build a new railway, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway.

As one of the most densely distributed areas of universities in China, population shift in Wudaokou is haphazard. Due to COVID-19, the space occupied by the school, greenery, and recreational spaces are no longer available to students and residents. Due to the fast-paced life, most entertainment activities must be conducted near the commuting path. As a result, we elected to construct a place adjacent to the Wudaokou Shopping Center to provide people with opportunities for gathering, activities, and social contact.

The Wudaokou, located in the Haidian-'university town', has become a very special intersection.

As it is adjacent to the Jing-Zhang Railway Heritage Park, the whole space will be linked to the history of Wudaokou in terms of the Jing-Zhang Railway's features and construction methods.

Functionally it is a mixed-use centre with a predominantly geometric cut. linking the congested pavements and breaking up the spatial isolation of the site so that people can pass through the area smoothly. The floors are designed to avoid each other, giving enough light to the lower floors, and the light coming through each aperture creates a different pattern of intersections based on the angle of the light.

Floor 2

Stage 1

Through the analysis of the flow of people, the majority of roads and large areas are roughly planned.

The first floor is mainly aimed at the excessive pedestrian flow on the north side, guiding people from the street to the interior, and through the area to the destination, rather than only on the northern street.

The second floor mainly connects the mall to the subway station and the northern food court. People can exit subway directly from the second floor and head to the north and south.

Floor 3

Parallel

Floor 1

Since most of the existing sports venues are within the universities, which are no longer open to the public as a result of the epidemic, there is a need to establish a comprehensive sports venue open to the public.

Floor 4

The fourth floor is mainly for the third floor sports venues, forming a layer of viewing pl atfo rm, fo l l o w e d b y th e addition of restaurants and bars, and with the west side of the bar street to form an integrated.

Glass stack

Through the statistical analysis of the people who come to Wudaokou for leisure shopping, it is found that most of the people are students. The crowd mostly comes from the north side of the site, that is, more people enter the site from the north side of the road. The residents who come to Wudaokou are mainly in its vicinity, which is subject to strong regional limitations.

Because there are fewer office areas nearby or other more convenient shopping malls, Wudaokou's office population is not a major component.

Road profile

The NE-SW and NW-SE will be connected seperately to avoid pedestrians all passing on the north.

Different blocks are connected through covered Bridges (subway, shopping malls, food street on the north).

Stage 2

Add a sports function (sports field), a large number of blocks and a small number of roads to connect.

Form a strong association with the three layers to enclose the court.

Refine road segmentation, clear block road division.

Site status

Ramp The ramps on both sides of the site will be accompanied by shops on both sides, and the slope is gentle, giving people a slow climb. There is a feeling of stepping on the ground, just like the herringbone track in the Beijing-Zhang Railway, which turns the steep slope into a gentle slope, making it easier for people to climb to a higher floor.

There will be a large number of non-motor vehicles occupying the sidewalk parking situation, so that the width of the sidewalk is not enough to support so many people, so some people will be squeezed to walk on the road.

The constituency is relatively separate from the food block on the north side. Detouring can only be carried out from the intersection on the northeast side of the constituency, coupled with the original north-south traffic of the road, which will cause a certain number of people to backlog at the intersection, forming a safety hazard.

This is an imitation of the Qinglongqiao railway station tunnel construction programme is first from the top of the mountain down a tunnel, and then from the middle of the mountain to the sides of the tunnel, this greatly increases the efficiency of the work. The structure of the constituency, the ground floor of the place is a tunnel through which pedestrians can pass, and then a barrel-shaped pipeline access to the fourth floor, people can be on the fourth floor through a glass stack. Walking to the entrance, looking down to feel the Qinglongqiao railway station construction process.

Add roads to the east and west sides to avoid space isolation caused by shopping malls and subways.

Stage 3

The road is turned inward and mainly connects the sports field with the elevators and stairs.

Form areas at road junctions, and some wider view-platform.

Further refine the Angle of road shape without clear road direction, and hollow out large areas.

The first floor is mainly for traffic functions, so the roads and buildings are basically cut in a straight line.

Stage 4

Adjust the road priorities, with the subway, shopping malls, food streets as the main road.

The structure of the entire glass stack is taken from the construction of the Huailai Bridge in the BeijingZhangjiakou Railway, with a metal structure as the main bridge.

To avoid the forest on the southwest, large areas exist on the east, and the southwest is dominated by roads.

Adjust the specific size of the block according to the size of the court.

Determine the specifications of the bar and plan a portion of the area to become the exterior space of the bar.

Stair ramps are added to connect the upper and lower floors, distinguishing the building from the floor slab.

The site between the Wudaokou There are 4 small shopping districts shopping mall and the underground centred on the selected area, namely line bridge is divided into four a shopping mall, a food street, a long strips by cycle parks, parks, food court and a bar street. Except bookshops and car park exits. for the shopping mall, the other three Currently it is not feasible to shuttle are separated by a road, so the directly from the shopping mall to the connectivity is not good. west side of the metro.

Additional staircases on either side of the main access road and a wider ramp on each north side of the site.

Stage 5

Staircase entrances are staggered from the 1st floor and avoid the main passageway.

The staircase entrances dominate close to the court for easy access.

The bars are connected to the bar street on the west, and up and down by a staircase, a elevator and a ramp.

The road is analyzed by classification.

Entrance of Mall The entrance to the north side of the shopping mall is directly east of the entrance to the subway station, and the food court is on the north side. It's a gathering point for the whole site.

Western entrance

Entrance of Subway The aboveground car park with exits Due to the One Page bookstore and underground car park's exits and the viaduct of the metro line 13, in the vicinity of the constituency therfore you can hardly see the clear fragment the constituency's plots. As view of the site from the outside. a result, access to and from the site Therefore, we need to make some is not smooth and pedestrian and improvements to the view and visual guidance. vehicular traffic is mixed.

This is the 2nd floor of the underground station exit, the west side is to enter the north side of the shopping mall, to the front (southeast) straight ahead, you can enter the south side of the shopping mall, this side is also a road through the office staff intensively, and then to the south side you can enter the wooded area.

Wooden walkways

This is the transport system on the west side of the site, which is mainly used to connect the bar street to the pedestrian flow on the 4th floors inside the selection, and is divided into a staircase on the north, a curved ramp on the south, and a lift in the middle.

In order to avoid large areas of woods, most of the block is in the form of wooden walkways that allow people to wander between the tree canopies.

The support columns are all cylindrical and will blend in more easily with the

SITE ANALYSIS

Underground space Demand

Over the last few decades, underground space has become increasingly important for the development of society. Population growth, the development of metropolitan areas, migration to cities, environmental awareness and increased demand for transport, water, utilities, storage, security and shelter have encouraged the use and development of underground space.

History

[ Mirrored London ]

Dungeon-Future-Mirrored Urban design A future integrated underground city Location: London, UK Type: Team Work (Minghao Wang, Jiaze Song, Xiaoxiang Hong) Time: 2023 Spring Semester Adviser: Yang Ni Responsibility: Ideas presented(50%), issue analysis(20%), design(80%), modeling(100%), renderings(50%) Relying on the Poly Frame plug-in and 3D Graphic Statistics (gh) to aid in the design, a holistic urban module was formed underneath the City of London.

The City of London, as a historic CBD, is characterised by high levels of day and night population movement and lacks of function. In addition, the City of London is not easily accessible due to railway planning within the area.

The design is divided into 3 parts: Skyscraper: similar structures are generated and buried in the ground, modelled on the original structural features, and connected to the core on the site.

Older dwellings: blocks shaped complex are created and multiple cores are added to provide access to the surface.

Open spaces: 3 larger open spaces in the area were selected to form underground pits to allow more light to enter the ground and to form the 3 activity centres of the underground city as the main locations for people to meet.

In the underground city, people can move smoothly from above ground to under ground and walk without hindrance. In the event of extreme weather, shelters are available for people. The underground network also provides direct access to the office from the underground transport system.

The history of underground architecture is a complex and convoluted one, from the ancient times of the Middle East and Europe to the height of Cold War paranoia.

Seeking shelter on earth is not a unique idea. Humans and animals have exploited the protective and insulating properties of the soil long before recorded history, developing complex and simple ways to cope with harsh climates and hostile environments.

As the world's population becomes overwhelmingly urbanised, the cities of the future will increasingly need to find more creative and sustainable ways to use less space. While many ideas are still being devised, it seems inevitable that skyscrapers and cities under cities will continue to be popular and serve as viable alternatives.

The Case and Plan for underground space

Derinkuyu Cappadocia Turkey The Cappadocia region of Turkey is dotted with underground cities dating back to the 8th century BC, which may have served as a refuge during times of war or invasion.

Lowline New York, USA New York has approved plans for the world's first underground park, to be built inside an abandoned train tunnel on the Lower East Side. It includes a system to let in sunlight to maintain a forest.

Coober Pedy SA Australia In South Australia, Coober Pedy, miners have found cosy accommodation in the real 'underground'. There are 1,600 people living here, with shops, restaurants and churches.

Underground extension Hong Kong, China In Hong Kong, buildings are going underground due to lack of space.

Currently, Hong Kong is supporting the use of hillside areas for the construction of logistics and data centres, laboratories, etc.

Ancient streets Naples, Italy Naples' city beneath the city, 40 metres underground, takes visitors back to its Greek and Roman origins along ancient cobbled streets, past the remains of aqueducts, market shop fronts and Roman theatres.

Edinburgh Vaults Edinburgh, Scotland The South Bridge was built in the late 18th century with 19 storerooms underneath to provide storage and workshops on the bridge. These were abandoned and closed in the mid-19th century due to dampness.

Construction information

The City of London is the historic centre and main financial district of London, England. With 800 years of history, the City is a blend of Roman ruins and modern iconic architecture. One of the City's main functions is to represent the interests of the British financial services industry. The City is home to the Bank of England and is traditionally considered to be the financial centre of the UK. Max: 14

Reasons for building dungeon 1.Historical and cultural issues

The City of London is surrounded by predominantly Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and several protected buildings, including 33 and 35 East Cheap Street, Grade II* listed buildings of 1868. The continued construction of skyscrapers in London's financial district would damage the setting of historic buildings and conservation areas, which would have detrimental impacts on this historic city.

2.Strict building regulations

Safety is a top planning priority and buildings must be able to withstand wind, bear weight, be protected from fire and be easily accessible. The design and construction of skyscrapers is therefore critical to meeting building code requirements, making it difficult to obtain planning approval for such buildings.

3.Limitations of the city of London

The City was the world's leading business centre throughout the 19th century and remains important today.

The City of London has a resident population of 9,401, but more than half a million people are employed there, and it is estimated that there are more than one million workers in the City of London, with around ¾ of jobs in finance and related businesses.

Building unit generation Public Space; higher space, most flexible structure, predominantly commercial space.

Private space: predominantly residential space with smaller, denser individual spaces.

Through the structural function analysis of the buildings in the city of London, the structure is extracted and simplified, and the characteristic structure is extracted for the generation of the underground city structure.

Then the building modules are generated according to the functional requirements, and the modules are connected, and finally the shape is optimized, and the floors are generated according to the needs of the height.

The Gherkin

Structural

Partial

Abtraction

Split

The Gherkin is a structurally robust building with a streamlined, eggshaped form that minimises wind resistance while allowing some wind to enter the staircase.

Diagonal bracing is predominantly used throughout the building, while lateral bracing is used to aid reinforcement.

In the partialisation process, it is divided into these three main sections, mainly the part underneath which is dominated by the original entrance, as well as the main building section, and the roofing section of the building.

In the process of abstraction, due to the regularisation of the original shape, it will be divided into three classes under the change of quantity: entrance building - top. Using the entrance as a base, the quantity will first be increased and then in the process of topping the building, the quantity will be reduced again to a quantity comparable to that of the entrance.

Instead of adopting the original number of six sides, the specific section was changed to a pentagonal shape in order to seek for the beauty of form.

The main structure of the building is also changed from the original triple to a twofold relationship, from the 5-10-5 form changes, mainly divided into the public space part articulation part - main part - articulation part - roof part.

The structure of the leaden hall is very characteristic, in order to sight avoidance the whole forms a diagonal structure, and its core is independent of the building. On the front of the staircase, the structure is dominated by a number of diamond shapes, while on the sides it consists mainly of two sets of triangles in different directions.

In the partialisation of the staircase, the core is firstly separated and the staircase is individually subdivided. It is divided into three main sections, the public space at the base of the building, the office space in the centre and the top section of the building.

For the traffic system, it is mainly a continuation of the rectangular structure, while for the main part of the building, after determining the number of floor slabs, the choice will be made to add diagonal bracing for articulation in addition to the main structure.

In the process of morphogenesis, the main part is generated by structures generated on the basis of three, and there is a multiplicative change in the number, with larger and freer forms in the more public areas. The core, on the other hand, is more regular, consisting of squares and rectangles, and is generated on a base of two.

Mainly, the number of floor slabs for each part of the setup will be approximated.

The articulation of each floor slab is envisaged.

There is a part of the abstraction method and a certain number of relationships are realised in decreasing quantities.

It is hypothetically a simple cut on a polyhedron, a step ahead of the specific implementation.

The shape of the scalpel is also peculiar and very sharp, with the number of sides changing in each part of the crosssection. The most characteristic feature is the spire, but the structure of the building is still traditional, with vertical and partly diagonal supports as well as transverse supports running through it.

In the course of the partialisation of the building, the main building will be divided into upper and lower parts as well as a spire based on a distinctive bulge in the body of the building.

In the abstraction process, after determining the number of floors, the degree of articulation is mainly composed of diagonal lines due to the inclination of its original main structure. And because of the variability of the original structure, the shape of the articulation is also more variable.

In the process of partitioning specific geometries, the number of sides of a polyhedron is simplified by varying the whole process from pentagonalquadrilateralpentagonaltriangularcuspidal order.

In the process of partialisation of the body block, the cuts are mainly based on these three different shapes of polyhedra.

The basic structure of the staircase is made of longitudinal and transverse steel, which is relatively simple.

In the process of abstraction, the proportion of the original bottom polyhedron will be relatively reduced and transformed as a public space.

And in the three staircases three different shapes of polyhedra between the articulation part, will also be cancelled out of the right angle, to the obtuse angle instead, in order to keep the smoothness of the form of fluency.

In the specific cut, the number of edges of all polyhedra will be reduced by a certain number of edges, changing to three specific edges of 8-6-4, and in addition to the three main building structures, there will be two articulated structures as well as capped sections.

Determine how many floors are needed for each part of the respectively, and located on which floors are connected and merged . For the later generation of the form, most of the original right angles are replaced by obtuse angles in order to maintain the smoothness of the form.

In order to produce an appearance with a curved shape, the entire building is generated in the basic type by a pentagon as a crosssection. It consists of three curved structures of different sizes, two articulated structures and a capping section.

Thus the Little Harbour area will be re-planned and re-designed.

Transportation planning: To satisfy the functional needs and ensure that the northeast and south-west sides can pass smoothly through the site. In the site and the surrounding area, people will be guided into the site by road planning and guide improvement. Also, via landscape renovation, such problems as current situation of insufficient view area, broken slow travelling system, obstacles and etc. can be solved.

The behaviour of people with the landscape was divided into 3 categories: bowing, embracing and handshaking - representing reverence for history, communion with nature, and daily use respectively. Thus, the functional areas are divided into 3 categories: first, the maintenance or reuse of the site, transforming into monumental landscapes and inserting new functions; second, for the formation of an ecoisland chain, providing habitats, facilitating coastal exploration, and preserving and purifying water; third, satisfying the functional needs of the people for recreation, relaxation, and entertainment in their daily lives.

Landscape as a constantly changing rewrite, the landscape of the Little Harbour area cannot be used as a chronicle that carries the state of local life and habitation. In addition, the recreational fishing industry is important for tourists, and the ecological value of the site for local residents is of greater concern.

Hutong circle of friends Innovative Community Governance Models under Hutong Public Space Renewal Current status of the district

Dashilar itself is a site with a long history, and its commercial prosperity has continued to this day, which has also given rise to some special culture. However, there are problems with the internal living here, and some courtyard renewal has gradually begun under the organisation of the Design Week, but his public activity space is more relevant to the residents' lives, and in fact needs to be renewed at the same time.

Sanjing community China

Sanjing neighbourhood is a more living area in Dazhalan street, not so close to the commercial street, closer to the original life of the hutongs, and there are some problems of lack of public activity space, and many residents' self-governance activities have already been carried out in the community management.

Dashilar is a combination of a busy commercial area and Beijing's old hutongs, with a complex population. It is roughly divided into two groups, namely the residential group and the activity group. The residential crowd includes native aborigines, foreign tenants and their descendants; the active crowd includes foreign tourists, local tourists for shopping and leisure, folk artists and cultural scholars who promote traditional culture.

Residents are the masters of the circle of friends, different residents can create their own circle of friends in the public space of Hutong. Through a functional space led by residents' autonomy, the communication between neighbours is deepened.

Although the need to pay attention to the needs of different groups is often mentioned, in reality, community residents do not play a strong role in the process of community governance, for example, some public areas in hutongs designed and planned by the government are not used by the residents in reality. Even though public opinion surveys were conducted at the beginning of the planning process, traditional "top-down" and "elitist" thinking unconsciously dominated the planning process when faced with the complexities of governance in older neighbourhoods.

The Zipper Project Renovation and Renewal of the Western Fence Space of the Material Compound

Node analysis

With the change in the form of settlements in China, the popularity of unit compound-style settlements has led to the emergence of closed neighbourhoods separated by walls. This has resulted in the severance of the community from the city and the creation of walled spaces. However, with the development of the times, the community is bound to develop towards a more open form. The walled space has gradually become a lost space in the city due to the spontaneity of its use.

In accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Cities and Communities (SCC) goals and in order to create a safer, more colourful, more inclusive and healthier community, the design solution makes use of the walled space and the unused green space in the site, which are the lost spaces in the city. A walled corridor is created. Like a zip, it connects the neighbourhood to the city. To stimulate community vitality and create a sustainable, green and healthy community life. Attempt to provide a direction for the transformation of similar gated communities, making full use of the buffer zone between the settlement boundary and the city, and promoting the concept of sustainable cities and communities.

In the face of the normalisation of epidemics, the installation of epidemic prevention plazas improves the community's ability to withstand epidemics and disasters. The daily and closed-control status of the plazas meets the needs of different periods of time when epidemics are normalised.

More importantly, enclosure walls also began to become a symbol of closed management and hierarchy, such as the distinction between the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city in the capital city at that time.

The wall next to it is designed to be a resting seat for parents to watch over their children through different partitions. A removable wooden box is placed under the partitions so that children can move it around and use it as a resting seat.

The parlour is the main leisure place for the elderly. Tables and chairs are installed along both sides of the wall, where the elderly and their friends can gather to chat and play chess. A rain garden is set up in the green space near the wall on the inside to optimise the environment and improve the ecological nature of the original green space at the same time.

The neighbourhood is a unit compound type of settlement, with well planned internal roads and public spaces, and abundant greenery. The atmosphere of life is strong, but the whole is very old, many spaces are idle and wasteful, and there is a lack of public activity space. There are many dilapidated bicycle sheds, mostly located in the walled space.

Located within an urban neighbourhood without walls, it provides residential, commercial and recreational space.

The site was selected on the west side of the Material Compound neighbourhood fence, with a street-side park green space on the outside and public space in the neighbourhood on the inside.

Other entrances and exits are set up with smart gates, faceswiping to detect the status of residents' health treasures, facilitating residents' travelling, and face-swiping in and out on a daily basis to ensure security.

Neighbourhood Units - 4 clusters of 500 households form a communal green space in the centre. Most neighbourhoods are enclosed and surrounded by walls.

Strategy 1 Enclosed Corridor Open Window

Settlements are variously planned and designed, with the 2 most representative types: modern closed settlements and urban neighbourhoods.

Inside the neighbourhood, the vacant public areas between buildings are used to set up some internal residents' fitness facilities, planting areas and community activity areas. The walled area is like a zip, connecting the inside and outside, placing functional areas and setting up four entrances and exits, forming an open community and increasing community vitality.

The walled corridor functional area is divided into five parts, namely the walled corridor, community market, sitting-out corridor, walled parlour and garden plaza. The Epidemic Prevention Square can be used for epidemic prevention and control activities, the Community Bazaar is used as a venue for community activities, the Healing Gardens are set up in the Rest Corridor to provide a comfortable environment for the residents, the Walled Parlour is a place for the elderly to gather and rest and chat, and the Garden Square is an activity area for children, with a planting pond set up to allow children to play freely in the natural environment.

This is the final class assignment for Space Concept of Design. It is located in a circular plaza that allows access to the interior space through a spiral, with three entrances from the side rather than directly towards the centre, so that there is a buffer zone that meets the functional needs of providing a space for students to be alone and to meditate. Meanwhile, as it is located in a wooded area, the top of the building is cut in a wavy curve to show the rhythm of nature. The main materials used are plastic tubes, wire, wood and transparent and coloured plastic sheets.

This is a class assignment for Composite Materials Fabrication. I wanted to express the relationship between tobacco and health and the natural environment, so I chose to use tree bark and clay to create the feeling of a forest, but also to show the origin of the material of tobacco, and through the way of spraying paint to show that it is tobacco, not pure trees, and at the top is sprayed with a colour of red paint to show the harm of tobacco to the people.
