PORTFOLIO | 2014 JIDI PAN
My name is Jidi Pan and I was born in Ningbo, China in 1989. I am a creative and ambitious architect who’s looking for his first job after obtaining the MArch degree of Urban Design in the Bartlett School of Architecture. Holding the enthusiasm of art, design and humanity and always being curious about innovative ideas, I have travelled hundreds of cities in different regions while thinking about the relationship between architecture and city. My passion towards architecture also drives me exploring the possibilities and the feasibilities of architecture in the future environment. This portfolio presents several selected projects that reflect my diverse skills in architectural design.

SUPER BEACH A Experimental Project of Weak and Diffuse Urbanism Lido di Ostia, Rome, 2014
Moving from the idea of urbanization as an interior condition and of the beach as a widely infrastructural territory for weak and diffuse urbanization, the project is an attempt to radicalize such a condition, displacing the elements that characterize it and reconfiguring them within a specific spatial frame. The site is a slice of the territory of Ostia, the seaside neighbourhood of Rome. Perpendicular to the coast it intersects all the different and dispersed conditions that constitute this strip of urbanization: the sea, the beach, the parking lots, the fascist villas, the residential buildings, the park, and the railways. Archaeologically reconstructing the anatomy of the urban the project uncovers and re-signifies the elements hidden below the visible generic layer of the city. The project slashes in on spatial configuration two radically opposite systems of urbanization. On the top level a series of functionally overdetermined and rigid strips that interrupt and give rhythm. Below an open field of activities happening under an enormous light roof, suspended between the rigid bars. These two completely different spaces are radical interpretations of the existing components of the coastline occupation. The endless character of urbanization is thus captured, exposed and embodied in the materiality and disappearance of architectural space.

8 STRIPS AND 1 CARPET There are 8 mono-functional strips regarded as the mega structures holding the giant roof. The strips are lifted over by a series of columns with different size (20cm*80cm and 40cm*40cm). On the top of the forest of columns there are 8 mono-functional buildings corresponding to the existing context of Lido di Ostia. They are the new railway station, library, park, residence, office, car parking, restaurants and bars, beach and swimming pools, respectively.
THE GROUND FLOOR: A JACUZZI However, the ground floor of the project is like a Jacuzzi tub with everything inside. It is an complete empire of blur. There are no physical boundaries of the Jacuzzi. Within this system, every corner is the same, and every element is the same. House, office, museum, supermarket, library, everything is reduced to a single manifestation of the diffusion of the ground floor. The Super Beach is a collection of this system, hiding a latent potential for conflict under its generic appearance.

A System of Weak and Diffused Urbanism
The Diffusion of Ground Floor
This is a system of weak and diffused urbanism, the proliferation of small ‘furniture’. Within this system, everything become it’s simulation. Sea turns into swimming pool, bedroom becomes bed, etc. The ground floor become a continuous carpet of production and consumption. Within this totalizing framework there is virtually no difference between inside and outside, living and working, landscape and city; everything is collapsed onto one single surface. And on this surface, the uncertainty thrives, which in turn pollutes all functions, make it a lowly specialized space. Grid of the System 14

CLOSED & OPEN Detached House Design Hangzhou, China, 2008
Locating at a very specific site, this project aims at exploring different levels of openness and closeness corresponding to its surroundings, within a detached house. The site is located in a narrow area alongside with Wulin Rd on the west and Changshou Lane on the east. Wulin Rd is a main traffic road which is quite noisy while Changshou Ln is in the opposite situation, quiet and just for jogging, walking and cycling, shaded by giant trees. The basic strategy is to make the house open to Changshou Ln and close to Wulin Rd and meanwhile create different levels of privacy in a single house. This project also challenges how to make larger space within a tiny site. Integrating living room, dining room and kitchen into a large space on the ground floor makes them not struggle with each other. Meanwhile the transparent glass wall make the space extend to and interact with the outdoor courtyard. In terms of how it interact with its surroundings, one is to cut off a corner of the slope roof to let the sunshine in and another is to leave rectangle holes on the walls of courtyard, which make the courtyard open to the silent lane with beautiful view as much as possible.

RIVERSIDE HOUSING Collective Housing Design Hangzhou, China, 2011
Riverside Housing
This project is a paradigm exploring how to use itself as a catalyst to stimulate and transform its specific urban context by architectural method. The site of the housing is located in a slice area within the urban, isolated by a main road and a river with splendid scenery. The slice itself also cuts off the connection between the road and the river. This project attempts to reconnect the activities on the road and the beautiful riverside landscape by the riverside housing, meanwhile makes the two elements interact with the housing. In addition, landscape, infrastructure and spatial diversity are also the main concern of this project. Not only to act like a urban catalyst, the housing itself would provide 8 dwelling types to meet various needs of different people. The residences inside would have numerous public space like corridors, courtyards, root gardens, etc., which all would have excellent views toward riverside langscape. The housing complex would be equipped with comprehensive public facilities such as parking. It also would adapt street interface and riparian landscape with different facade texture.

Context Extraction
Guxin River and Hushu Rd. Extend in parallel, Forming a long and narrow slice area(fig 1 & fig 2). There are public green belt and riverside trails alongside slice area(fig 3). There are several horizontal bridges connecting the river and the road, however, the silice itself becomes the partition of the river and the road to some extend, make them hard to access to each other(fig 4). The housing project is located in these original building blocks(fig 5 & fig 6). The basic design strategy is connecting both side of the site and make them interact with the the riverside housing.

Riverside Housing
Concept Diagram
1. One of the significant concern is how to use the housing project to reconnect the both sides of the site - the road and the river.
2. Cut the mess into two pieces in the middle, thus generating a giant passageway to connect both side.
3. Make enclosed courtyards for residents' activities within both of the two parts, leaving space for courtyard entrance connecting with the passageway.
4. Modify the height profile to make each of them get better view and sunshine. meanwhile it creates some terraces and roof gardens.
5. Elevate some buildings to make passage towards the main road and towards the river, and make a slope on the building facing the river, thus enriching the spacial diversity.
6. Design landscape on the roof and in the courtyards, and fit in some public facilities such as bycicle parking on the ground floor and car parking on the underground floor. Jidi Pan

A CLOUD & A HILL Hangzhou Kerry Center Urban Design Hangzhou, China, 2011
A CLOUD & A HILL
This project is aiming at creating a void within the highly dense context in the city center, thus providing the citizens a playful square on the ground for rest or leisure, by switching the commercial function into 'The Cloud' floating in the sky. Meanwhile, by lifting 'The Cloud' up in the air, 'The Cloud' would have a perfect view towards the World Historical Heritage - West Lake, therefore build up a very strong connection between the main commercial road and West Lake. There is a big shopping center within the floating Cloud. At the same time, the permeable 'Hill' itself become the entrance of the Square and also become a wall to block noise of the main road, creating a peaceful atmosphere for the square. 'The Hill' contains retials on the lower floors, office and hotel on the upper floors. As a urban design project, Hangzhou Kerry Center not only fulfills the demands of the clients to maximize its commercial value, it also aims at creating a peaceful place to balance the citizen's hustle-and-bustle-style daily life, to make them slow down to think and rest. It's also a bridge connecting the main commercial road and West Lake. It's a catalist that transforms its surroundings and improve citizen's quality of life.

West Lake
On January 6th 2007, the tallest building of West Lake in the site had been blown up with a loud noice, thus leaving this place a significant history. Located in the city center of Hangzhou, the site is very close to West Lake which is the world renowned tourist attraction. The site has a significantly historical meaning for the whole city, facing Hangzhou's largest commercial street.

A poetry which described West Lake said: 'The West Lake is surrounded by hills and clouds on three sides, leaving one side surrounded by the town'. Therefore, a hill and a cloud become the first image that comes into my mind.

MODEL MAKING WORKSHOP Collection of all Model Making Practise 2009-2014 I Mapping the various tourist infrastructures that occupy the coastline as part of a network of completely interior space.
II The models try to extract the spatial possibilities emerging from the phenomena of ‘coastal squeeze’ in an abstract manner.
LAND AND SEA The coastline is a paradigm where land encounters with sea and is the place where the interaction between urbanization of the land and urbanization of the sea occurs. The certain spatial condition of coastline reveals the effects of all the elements working on it. These 4 groups of model illustrate the diverse relationship between land and sea in several ways and explore the possibilities of spatial relationship in different conditions.
