New world planet workshop TYPE: Academic Design ( Individual ) TUTOR:Elena Manferdini SITE:Concept, April. 2021 Workshop Brief The workshop takes on a controversial discussion about nature and how architects, visual artists and landscape designers might engage with its contemporary representation. Borrowing Zizek’s words, nowadays “nature is over”; classical landscapes have been progressively replaced by a new notion of synthetic environments, in which natural and mutated visions coexist. It is precisely in this new hybrid territory that the course begins.

In particular, during the workshop we will create a new planet, made of hyper realistic lush green fields, colorful flowers, buzzing insects, fantastical animals, calm rivers and mountain lakes. Each scene is digitally designed with extreme care, down to the minutiae of the smallest creature, to convince and immerse the audience into the reality of the digital dream.

THE SONG OF ICE AND FIRE The planet is design to a ice planet which is going to be melted by the exploding of the volcano. The lava burnt out the forest and plants, animals.

The breaking out volcano make the ice melt which leads to the animals lose their living space. I named the planet as the song of ice and fire.

The forest fire in Australia from 2019 to 2020 gave me inspiration for this planet. I want to remind people to protect enviroment with this exhibition of the ice planet.

We have a large number of elements in this planet, including jellyfishes, seals, seagulls, geese, humming birds, penguins, mammoth, whales and different kinds of plants.

Rebuild the Fallowfield Loop cycling path TYPE: Academic Design ( Individual ) TUTOR:Becky Sobell SITE:Manchester, Set. 2020

In my research, I will focus on the function of the adjacent plots of the site and use the crowd to study the two forms of the site. Through a tunnel, we will enter a dream world. Measuring brainwaves on the site, will create forms. The intention is to amplify activities which pre-exist on site. With the vision and imagination of the site, people can endow the site with new meaning.

Design Introduction The site rose with the industrial revolution, and declined with the industrial decline. The existing site is seen as an abandoned landscape discarded in the urban network, out of place with the city. Comparing with the present site, the site has been dilapidated but it does not mean that it is dead.

Site Description Topographically, the site resembles a valley, sandwiched by a sequence of slopes and trees on either side. Most traces of the site’s industrial revolution, from the railway tracks to the cycling loop, are no longer visible, and everything is like a dream.The field is contradictory. Isolated from the city, the cycling loop is like a scar on the city. It is a bicycle path, but the site has no connection with the surrounding environment.But because of its topography and isolation from the city, the site offers a proper serenity and pleasure place. When people walk in the loop, they feel as if they are separated from the clown and noisy city in another world.

The tunnel is very important on this site.When traveling the bike path from west to east, one will pass through 19 tunnels and 2 Bridges.If you travel here, it’s hard not to notice the tunnels.

History: Manchester has a rich history.In 1764 Richard Arkwright invented the water frame and the spinning jenny, further automating cotton production.The industrial revolution spurred the cotton trade.The prosperity from the textile industry led to an expansion of Manchester and the surrounding conurbation. Fallowfield The Loop Railroad was built.But more than 100 years later, the railway was no longer needed.When the railway went out of service, it was converted into a cycle track.

The reason why I choose this site: In LA2A, I chose the last tunnel to the end of the Cycling Loop as the research site of my project. As the last tunnel, it has a unique significance. After passing through this tunnel, people will cross two Bridges. However, the site is more closely related to its surrounding buildings.The site is no longer isolated from the city by the topography on either slope. At the same time, on the terrain, after passing through this tunnel, the view becomes clear.

This kind of cheerful feeling, like through the dream and suddenly surprised.

Compare the Reality and dreams SITES

DREAM

There is a real exist world.

There is a imaginary world.

There is visible reality and history about the existing site, but the dream is invisible.

If I compare the dream to the landscape, it seems to be the invisible landscape.

There is a graveyard on the site. When people pass through here, they will feel the power of life and death. I propose these balloon, which is fill with Hydrogen inside, along the path. The heavy metallic balloons represent the death while the light Hydrogen represent the life. It seems that the life and the death exist at the same time.

Compare the Reality and dreams SITES

DREAM

There is a clear boundary.

You can not tell the boundary in the dream.

There are obviouly boundaies in the existing site, such as trees, lake, barries. It limited your route. However, in the dream, there is no boundary. You can go anywhere.

As for the boundary comparison, the landscape bridge can be the boundary to separated cycling and walking. The bridge can limit the user space. I propose a steel structure bridge here. The bridge not only can separate the cycling and the walking away, but also can limit the activity space.

Compare the Reality and dreams SITES

DREAM

From reality to sense.

From sense to reality.

There are obviouly boundaies in the existing site, such as trees, lake, barries. It limited your route. However, in the dream, there is no boundary. You can go anywhere.

According to the common of birdwatcher and wildlife, I aims to design a birdwatcher tower which is hided in the trees and fit the landscape well. It is shaped by the electroencephalogram.

The requirment is to separate away cycling and walking, so, there are more access direction. A circle is a good way to manage these different kinds of Access.

Another reason is the tunnel need to be resore which is scruffy.

The reason of choosing this location to set a bird watcher tower is that you will be surprised when you walk through the Hedgerow Tunnel. It is the most beautiful view in this site and you can enjoy the sunset here as it toward west.

I want to make good use of the unuse area to active the site. So, I propose a lawn with a little bit of slope here where travelers can lay on the lawn and see the secret lake.

These three platform make up a trangle and travelers can say hi to eah other cross over the lake when they are fishing.

Location Addressing Located in Milan City of Italy, Isola Pepe Verde is a community park governed by volunteers. It is operated by the community in a non-profiting mode to encourage all community members to participate in constructing the park and holding activities. The park covers an area of 1,830 m2 and is operated by an NGO. It is self-sufficient and produces no finished product. As a symbol of urban transition in a small space, it brings greenness and hope for the city.

Redesign the Isola Pepe Verde's park TYPE: Academic Design ( Individual ) TUTOR:HAO HU SITE:MILAN,Oct.2019 Design Introduction According to relevant study findings, Milan faces severe air pollution, which considerably affects residents’ life. The construction of this garden aims at triggering thoughts about what roles community gardens play in urban life. Apart from meeting the development and demands of modern life, this community gardens should adapt to changes in nature, climate, and ecology. The art and overall functions are combined to reshape the community-based Utopia in nature. After being completed, the garden will provide an ideal, humanistic Utopian garden that combines several functions. It serves people of all age groups. Here children, youths, middleaged, and elderly people live together. These people can communicate and exchange their thoughts in the manual workshop and recreational space or have simple conversations in the small, green, vigorous garden.

In this place, the elderly who need medical care are no longer pushed to the edges of urban life but live the same as other members of society.

While summer camps and amusement parks are provided as activity places for children, a rehabilitation garden is offered for the elderly to enrich their life. Eventually, the community is activated to trigger chain reactions. Meanwhile, it will drive the construction of community gardens in the vicinity to create green, comfortable Utopian parks, which activates the entire city.

Challenges of Milan The project briefly introduces several problems facing Milan, including rainfall floods, exhaust gases, population aging, and deficient green vegetables, aiming to find targeted solutions. It aims to construct a humanistic and ecological block to improve the environment of Milan.

Exhaust gas pollution

Deficient green plants

Severe population aging

Harm from rainfall floods

The improvement in image and elevation of the international status brought many hidden negative impacts to Milan. For example, Milan’s developed handicraft, textile, and manufacturing industries result in water pollution. Besides, Milan has a large number of cars per capita worldwide. These diesel cars bring automobile exhaust pollution to Milan and a prevalent haze. Fortunately, the Milan authorities have realized the severe situation. Now, Milan is attempting to improve the ecological environment and constructing green buildings. This project hopes to bring greenness to Milan through reconstruction.

Surrounding Analysis

Problems and Strategy Business Distribution in Surrounding Zones Small stores, car rental companies, pet paradises, parks, squares, and a railway station can ve found in the surrounding zone. Thus the project will be a node park that is functionally complementary to the surrounding zone and has convenient traffic. It provides surrounding users with a place for relaxation, communication, and resting. However, there is no community park worth stopping to rest. Besides, a survey was carried out, which showed that people living nearby were most children. Thus summer camps for children and other activities are held regularly.

This design focuses on greening and recreational functions that can be used to optimize the urban environment and improve the quality of life for surrounding residents. Also, changeable facilities with diverse functions will be equipped to meet the demands of people from different age groups for different activities.

The project design guides the site from two principal lines, including time and space dimensions. On the time dimension, the design plans to expand the street park to other street corners throughout Milan. Thus more street parks will derive from this park to activate Milan streets. Regarding the space dimension, this design creates different forms of space as users and application purposes vary, including the private park and the event square. In conclusion, the design enables users to change the nature of the site to meet different demands.

北海雅居乐·金碧湾示范区 TYPE: professtional Design ( Group Design) TUTOR: LUO YUANYUAN SITE:GUANGXI,Dec.2018 North Sea Yajule Golden Bay is located in the core of the east area of North Sea Silver Beach, enjoys natural and cultural landscapes such as 8 km of primary beach, 495 acre of Golden Bay Mangrove Wetland Park, and 3.8 km of Haisi Landscape Canal. At the same time, it brings together multiple holiday supporting resources such as Haisi Water Park, Hilton Hotel, 1.4 km of riverside commercial street, community kindergarten, etc.

The design of the whole region draws lessons from the design methods of ecological hotels, and combines the holiday viewing with artistic elements, and efforts are made to create a modern extreme holiday experience through the triple landscape system of "artistic experience + interactive fun + multifunctional viewing".The design extracts the characteristic features of the North Sea and integrates the "glory of pearl" and "flow of river " into the site. The ground represents waves, the water represents layers of rock walls, and the white artistic device will be the combination of waves and nets. The flowing curve grows and extends on the vertical surface, concentrating and reproducing the natural beauty of Northern Gulf waves and the bay shore by modern methods. Wandering on the golden beach, is just like picking up seashells and sightseeing on the beach, as well as feeling the unexpected surprises endowed by the venue.

In the project, I am mainly in charge of the design of facade modeling and the creation of artistic framework, which is an important part of the whole design.

Location

The project is located in the key planning section of Guangxi North Sea Northern Gulf Central Eco-city, and it is an artistic and poetic sojourn on the edge water that created with heart. This project is a pilot demonstration area of over 750,000 square meters in North Sea, and uses art as a medium to create a triple landscape system of "artistic experience + interactive fun + multifunctional landscape".

Door

Deduction

Looking across the river, the person has not arrived, but the shock brought by the design has already been felt. The undulating lines form a portal, framing the display area and gathering the sight of tourists. The patches of pink and indigo grass planted under it have created a sea of flowers. The wind blows the waves of pink and the spikes of flowers are like silk. The sea of flowers is like enshrouding pink clouds, soft and graceful.

Wandering on the golden beach, picking up seashells and sightseeing on the beach, feeling the unexpected surprises endowed by the venue.

Deduce the change in different forms of artistic framework, with sea waves as plane elements and fishing nets as facade elements, combine them with each other. At the same time, it meets the requirement of forming a clear portal for the structure of separation by the river. In the meanwhile, it is constantly changing, deducing and combining to conclude the final framework.

Dream net

Waves Life in Golden Bay is an encounter between the venue and the hotel-style holiday mood. The framework is like a splashing wave, rising up into the sky, dotted with the interface shaped by returning sails and fishing nets. Under the sunshine, the sails are glistening with light spots, interwoven on the water surface, bringing a little vitality to the poetic and elegant space.

The front-court wind-catching modeling gallery frame convergences the micro-wave form, integrates the curves of layers of waves into the interactive device, depicts the overall outline, and presses out the outer boundary of the display area. In order to simulate the lightsome and transparent posture of fishing nets, sunshades with various effects are used. White plates represent purity, mirror plates reflect the pure blue of the sky, and brushed plates represent tranquility. Looking from the bridge, the eye-catching artistic modeling and sparkling sequins catch people's eyes, bringing strong visual impact and making the brand image more memorable.

Under construction

This is a photo taken when the process of the construction reached about 70%. The construction of the garden has finished the major part and the framework has been built in prototype, but the scaffold has not yet been removed. The design was finally adjusted on the spot. Through repeated testing, comparison and angle adjustment, the landing of the scheme and the quality of construction were ensured.

Effect After the project was completed, the river, the landscape and the buildings complement each other. It fully embodies the "glory of pearl " and "flow of river. " Ascending the stairs in waterfront, the undulating framework leaps to the eyes. Different metal sunshades, such as white plate and mirror metal plate, reflected different light effects, which adding a bit of fun to the site.

Howard johnson hotel

TYPE: professtional Design ( Group Design) TUTOR: LUO YUANYUAN SITE:HAINAN,Jan.2019 Howard Johnson Hotel is located in Lingao, Hainan Island. It is near an artificial lake to the north and located in municipal road to the south.

The whole site occupies an area of xxx square meters. The ceremony sequence of the whole hotel includes the entrance waterscape--axis courtyard--back yard waterscape--wedding lawn--central gallery pavilion-waterfront landscape belt. And this time I am mainly responsible for the entrance part.The design of the whole hotel combines the local regional characteristic culture, integrates the local minority of Li minority culture, as well as extracts Li minority cultural elements. In some lamps, wall details and waterscape, we have also added logo and texture extracted from pictures in Li’s totem belief, fully showing the characteristics of tourism. Let visitors come here and feel a different feeling from that of big cities.

In addition, in the choice of materials, we also adopt the volcanic rocks with local characteristics to make the landscape more conform with the local regional culture, and the use of some riprap and green slate also makes the hotel more ecological and amorous.
