1- Meteorological Apartments

A ir C onvection, H eight D ifference

During epidemic people are spending more and more time at home, I try to think of buildings that offer the greatest comfort and experience with the least consumption of resources. By using the principle of air convection, I have created different heights for the different functions of the apartment and created a good experience of the space.

2- the emotion of the climate

Climate analysis and strategy

The student residence is located in the south of Turin. Its context is characterised by the construction of public housing for workers from old factories. We meticulously analysed the surroundings and climate and, through a detailed light and ventilation analysis, found that the site was heavily overshadowed by the southern buildings, after constant adjustments to the shape and functional arrangement. All units receive direct sunlight throughout the year. The brick facade is linked to the surroundings and to the buildings already on the plot. The internal façade differs considerably in terms of materials. The fully glazed ground floor and the light wooden elements on the two upper floors make for a lighter visual effect. On the eastern side of our building we have created a completely open park to the neighbourhood, realising a student residence with comfortable and dynamic living.

How to revitalize a decrepited neighborhood

Location: Detroit, United States

Design date: 2021 fall

3- Sponge City

Technology, Recycling

North Corktown, one of Detroit’s sprawling, vacant land neighbourhood, where people are mostly self-sufficient or buy food from other The importance of the local population’s knowledge of farming techniques is particularly important. It is particularly important to equip local people with the skills to grow food. And Detroit has more precipitation, and it will help the farm a lot if water resources can be used wisely and flexibly. Therefore, we build an agricultural education and cultural base based on water system, with education as the base, not only as an educational and cultural experience center for citizens to expand their knowledge of agriculture and plants, but also as a learning center for other regions or cities, teaching the techniques of planting methods of different kinds of crops and plants, applying the technology of water recycling system, reducing the cost to a large extent, and reaching the city residents’ households can It is a good intention to improve the standard of living by learning to use it, to promote the construction of sponge cities and the economic recovery of low development cities, and to arouse the vitality of cities.

4- Sci-Tech Eco-Rainforest

TECHNOLOGY, ECOLOGY

The site is situated at the entrance to a university and faces the university complex. We started by thinking about the relationship between the building and the site surroundings at an urban scale, echoing the sub-axis of the school and the surrounding landscape design. We then tried to use our familiar approach to small-scale buildings, spending a lot of time on the flow and functional design of the building, introducing the concept of the ‘Sci-Tech Ecological Rainforest’, so that it would have a good echo from the interior of the building to the urban landscape, complementing the campus building, creating a swift and efficient vertical system and a horizontal system linking the upper and lower floors. A horizontal system of connections between the city, the The street, podium and towers are effectively integrated.
