Daxinggong Plaza Design Academic Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China Mar. 2013 - Apr. 2013 Team Work with Simin Wang Role: Concept design, Section drawing, Plan drawing, Part of rendering The applicant constructed or participated in drawings included
The square is serviced as a central void that connects many significant cultural and historical landmarks. Therefore the design of is aiming for defining a central public void without attempting to add more voice to the site. A settle spiral landscape redirects circulation flow from various site to different destination in an efficient way. It also attracts people to the underground world which is a multifunctional space that connected the basement floor of Art Museum and Library. At the end of spiral and water fall is a luxuriant camphor tree which has a unique position in Chinese tradition. The tree accompanied with the waterfall defines the center of the site. The settle design of square will not only be the physical center of the site, but a spiritual core of the city.

Even going through vast vicissitude, the four city walls still shapes the outline of Nanjing City since Ming Dynasty. However, the value of Tuchengtou (the outer city wall) is being overlooked since the loss of defense function. This proposal aims to use heritage corridor as greenway to lead the trend of city development to a healthier and a more prosperous direction.

Derived from the traditional social and cultural belief, Fengshui, the master plan of cemetery is trying to bring peace to people that already passed and luck to ones that still alive. A serious but vivid environment that the design achieves serves a platform that enable people to memorize those who were their relatives or friends.

Concept
The requirement of this competition is that provided by 800 RMB, each team expresses their idea on a 1.8m*2.5m site without a subject limitation. In this micro-site, we express our reflection of the relationship of design and our world in a metaphoric way.

This design can be seen as an ideal community model. Main element of this design is 3/4 circle. These circles connect together, yet leaving each other enough space to breathe and grow. We use these strings to create the light ambience. When the ideal pattern mirrors in the realistic world, pleasant living condition comes in. As for the ground part, we use bamboo and tile as main materials to present the pleasant living condition. The string and bamboo define a positive space as themselves and a rich negative space with a rhythm that repeat spacially.
