COURTYARD
BETTER ENVIRONMENT
Three kinds of buses: the one that rests in the parking lot after unloading the passengers; the one that leaves the coach station after unloading the passengers and the one that goes to the waiting position after unloading the passengers.
The interweaving volumes naturally form two courtyards which are surrounded by walls of different heights in order to let the sunlight shines in brightly.
IMPROVED VIEW
Corresponding to the natural scenery, large glass screen walls allow the landscape to flow into the building with no barricades.
Four kinds of passengers: the one that goes straightly to the waiting hall; the one first buys the ticket at the ticket office before entering the waiting hall; the one outbounds directly after getting off the bus, and the one goes into the ticket office for another trip after getting off the bus.
Large space of the site is reserved for plantation. With the urban public green field and the courtyards inside the architecture, the enviroment is greatly improved.
SPACE QUALIFICATION
The twisted "L" shaped architecture naturally qualifies three spaces: the main station square, the parking area and the small recreation space in front of the waiting hall.

MASTER PLAN
The design starts from the basic functions, which response to the context: the nearby bus station and urban public landscape.The volume of passengers and the volume of staff interweave together, naturally enclosuring courtyards inside the architecture. Meanwhile, the twisted "L"shaped form qualifies the site into different spaces of use, avoiding the interference of circulations and creating an improved environment.

BEHIND THE FLOURISH When you first came to an unfamiliar city, lingering on the beautiful street vista, have you ever tried to observe in a more genuine eye? The world behind the street is totally different: extremely lack of sanitary facilities, shabby house conditions and security risks existing almost everywhere. Behind the flourish is the real sketch of the vulnerable living at the bottom of the society.

HOW TO TRANSFORM
The seashore is the most bustling part of Qingdao, where a number of beaches, historic landmarks, villas and mansions locate.
Zhongshan Road is Qingdao's old commercial street , along which stands many shops. But behind the street, Liyuan yards are hidden.
Ankang courtyard
ABOUT LIYUAN
Liyuan is a vital city unit of Qingdao, which used to be colonized by Germany for thirty years. This architectural form combines the traditional Chinese courtyard space with western architectural style which contains both residential and commercial functions in one construction. Liyuan's buildings are made of wood, always 2-3floors high, standing along the street with two or three openings to the outside. Enclosed by buildings, the central yard is intimate and vivacious.

FOR CHILDREN
Distribution of children's reading houses and corridors
In order to make up for the deficiency of no considerations of children when Liyuan was originally built, reading houses and playing sites are especially designed. Corridors on the roof along the community's inner street connect reading and studing spaces as a whole, avoiding the insecurities on the crowded ground. All the facilities build a totally new vision for children to see the society and the world .
The reading houses are all surrounded by trees, creating a delightful environment for children to study and play.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
In the old community, activities and circulations of almost every yard point outwards. There is no passage among the yards, which adversely affects the communication and association of the households living in Liyuan.
During the process of research, we find an inner line which connects all the yards in the community texture.
On the foundation of maitaining the old community texture, retrofitted constructions are demolished, expanding an inner street which connects every yard.
With the other two public active open space, the inner street centralizes the community households and thus greatly improves the living atomosphere of the old community.
The inner street connects the yards on both sides. Platforms and the "air corridor" enrich the space levels of every yard in liyuan. People on both sides of the street can have eye contacts with people in the street. The communication is enhanced based on the The crosswise section of the community premise of privacy.

Napa Cabbage Pickled Napa Cabbage Beijing Beijnger As an indispensable part on every Beijingers’ dining table, napa cabbages witness the growth of the city and the change of daily routine of individuals. As the buildings bursting taller, transportations developing more and more convenient, the tradition of preparing pickled cabbages for the winter is becoming further and further away. To revive this deep “warm memory” of Beijingers, a pickled cabbage center along the 5th ring road gathers people together, making pickled cabbages and bringing back the city spirit. Cabbages as people, the modest cabbage is a simple reflection of a Beijnger’s life.

Agent-based computing is one of the computational models for simulating the movements and the interactions of a group of autonomous agents, with the potential to generate a systematic emergent effect of the agent system as a whole. We interpreted such complex movements of the agents into the spatial geometries of steel rods via abstracting the physical properties and fabrication constraints of the steel rods into programming languages.

Scripting System System Input
Domain : Exibition space at Liberty Annex with a coloum on site.
Add points on ground in the space
Set a surface into the space as one rule
Combination of points and surfaces
def Responsibility():
distance original vector
If distance > 15" : keep going

Calculate the distance between the agent and the surface If distance < 15" :
Find the closest point on the surface
Snap to the surface

Evaculate the closest surface
New vector is the one between the points on the surface(s)
Move along the surface
The trail is the ligature between the original position and the new one.
System Output
Trails of the agents-geometry of rods
During the design-fabrication process, we took the perspective of a more integrated feedback network of formational design process, material properties and fabrication concerns, compared to the traditional one-way feedback from design to fabrication. We used the 7-axis robotic rod bending and computer numerical control (CNC) machining techniques to receive generated fabrication scripts and give feedback to design process as the way to improve the construction process of the physical prototype of our agentbased computing system.

Perspective
Rod Geometry
To architect the computational system, we began from identifying three main patterns for steel rods. Based on the translated material constraints of the steel rod, these three patterns tailor the three-dimensional pathways of agentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movements. Each of these patterns can be manipulated in various ways based on certain rules assigned to the agents through designated tasks. Within the flexible frames of these rules, variations could be generated through different compositions of the rules. Since each agent could not determine the global vision of the whole system, it needs to detect the environment continuously before moving to a next position in space. Such detecting behavior of the environment and its neighborhood also enables each agent reacts autonomously as a whole system.
