AN ACCOMMODATION IN THE DOWNTOWN
by gin liu
The space here has a completely different interior space from clothing stores underground or at noisy streets. The theme of space is more focused on tranquility and gentleness. Women who are in trouble in life and seek shelter can go through busy neighborhoods, mixed clothing stores, and then enter the quiet shelter by winding stairs. Maybe they found this shelter by accident, or maybe they came here according to the instructions when they needed help. It will be a space for women to be independent of their lives. In a public space with mild light, they can accept some simple skills courses or participate in mutual aid exchange meetings, or seek legal aid or psychological counseling. Or they just stay with people who have experienced the same difficulties, rest and communicate. The space here, completely different from the outside world, can be a haven for their temporary rest and a springboard for their new life. Standing in the sunny stairwell, or The secret garden behind the false facade, women may get the heart healing and the support.
ENTRANCE Entrance with strong light from the dark clothing store corridor, suggesting the change of space type.

Key Elements Extracted From Ancient Paintings



As most theaters have been demolished and disappeared, it is difficult for us to imagine what the traditional opera building space is like through real buildings. From the drama scenes of ancient paintings, according to the interaction between audiences and performers and the space atmosphere, the space extracts are divided into three types. The first is “looking at each other”, in which the audience is divided into several areas, and certain contacts and exchanges can be generated between each area and performers. The second is “overlooking”, where the audience watches from a height or upstairs, while retaining a certain space of their own. The third is a more intimate viewing mode “sitting around”, where the audience surrounds the performers and the performers can have some borderless performances.The elements and characteristics of several traditional theaters are extracted from ancient paintings, and four key theater elements are re-integrated with modern design components.Each key element provides the type of corresponding spaces in the painting.Combining these key elements can flexibly form a new type of theater which can generate the atmosphere of ancient theatre.

Corresponding to the space type of “visual contact”, the audience is in a step, but it is divided into different viewing areas by ship-shaped handrails, just as people in different boats are watching the opera together in the same water.

corresponding to the “overtype, it developed buildings. The building accommodate public spaces compatible with the theatteahouses, lounges, platform or steps from the outside to be viewing space.
The Black Box
Corresponding to the space type of “sitting around”, the audience and performers are in the “black box” of the same semi-building. There is no obvious boundary between the audience and the performers, so some experimental and more intimate opera performances can be performed.
The Stage
Extract the basic form of the traditional stage. The square area in the middle is the main performance area. The band sits in the back areas on both sides, moving backwards to avoid the sound wall interfering with the performance, and the back area is connected with the background area.
The Exampling Site Two Old Theatres In The Central Beijing
Since the Qing Dynasty, a large number of theatres and the residences of opera actors had been distributed around Qianmen Street. The two old theaters, Qingyuan and Zhongheyuan, have gradually lost their original features in several fires, but the venue still retains their names, as if waiting for their memories to be regained one day. The venues of the two theaters just connect to form an L-shape. The renovation plan is to rebuild three different types of theaters on the site, connected with each other but also can perform independently. Area A mainly extracts the traditional courtyard as a theater element, which is a semiopen theater from the watchtower enclosure. Area B embeds two small blackbox theaters in the building for experimental or small performances. Area C is a relatively large indoor performance venue. The viewing area consists of stands, and large and small “boats” float on the stands, forming different viewing areas.

Three New Theatres
Theater A is a traditional courtyard theater. There is a small stage at the entrance for some small street performances to attract visitors’ attention. The viewing buildings on both sides can also be used for tea drinking and commercial activities. Go straight from Theater A to Theater B, you can enter two black box theaters to watch performances. Theater C is a relatively closed indoor performance hall. You can go up to the roof from the steps,The roof can also be used for outdoor performances.
Return To The Traditional Opera Space
The design of the spaces in the three theatres further stress on restoring a space atmosphere suitable for the performance of Chinese traditional diences and performers, as well as the interaction, and audiences. Therefore, a relatively de-architectural space is formed in the courtyard various functions. This design also makes the whole theater more open to the streets, and turns the theater into a more public art space, which of traditional operas can also produce some innovations and attempts, breaking through the boundary between view and performance. The the Black Box Theater, which is more open and free. These four different performance spaces provide different feelings and experiences different environments and possibilities for the audience to watch the drama. Perhaps this can arouse people’s interest and enthusiasm in traditional operas. It is more concerned with the habit of watching traditional dramas, the theatre space and the relationship between autheater. Passers-by can be attracted by the street performances of the small stage at the entrance, and enter the courtyard theater with which can close the connection between citizens and traditional operas. In the remaining black box theatres, small-scale performances architectureChanging organic life Prefabricated, replaceable cellu lar components easy development:air city(Arata Isozaki) ocean city(Kiyonori Kikutake)
The indoor theater provides a special spatial connection and atmosphere between the audiences. There is a fourth open-air theater above of watching the drama, and also include several different pleasures in traditional drama performances. Therefore, the design provides traditional drama again.

Mortise And Tenon Are Used To Form Tiles


Our team choosed wood as our main research material. while mortise and tenon Caught our attention as an ancient way of joining wood One of the founders of Metabolism once said”New technology should follow the ancient laws of nature.”we plan to use multiple wood components to form a variety of space while each component adopts mortise and tenon joint to connect with each other.so they could be easily generate and assemble.We intend to employ a variety of wood rods to create different tiles, which will be joined by mortise and tenon to create spaces.

Horizontal Rods
Primarily employed as a floor, winsill, etc. Additionally, they can be coupled with flooring to make unique chairs and tables. Offers opportunities interior decoration.
Frame Component
Used for attaching the window module to the vertical bars. Not carrying the primary load and made of lightweight wood.
Creating Places Using Tiles
Due to the fact that each tile can be connected to another. After establishing some simple connection rules and incorporating the tiles into WFC algorithm, the following spaces are manually produced. We can regulate the production of various sized building spaces. If new and more explicit connection criteria are implemented, we can obtain the exact number of required spaces. This ensures that the customer can obtain the desired structure based on their requirements and the rod modules we have provided. Or incorporate the desired room into an existing structure.
In this project, original wood like, calculating cessing, and

Interior Spaces Outdoor Balconies
Since the project does not specify modules explicitly as beams and columns, modules can be utilized in a variety of ways. The modules can also be utilized as interior furnishings or as various dividers.
A building’s outside space, for instance, can be flexibly fashioned into a balcony. Or, when a new building is constructed nearby, it is simple to connect two structures using a bridge, etc.
More Possibilities
The project’s adaptability rests in the fact that it may be used to several building types and scales, including the construction of complexes for entire communities, and tall towers. As a result of the fact that all the poles and connections are integrated, different erties and can use different types of wood, making it easy to obtain local materials. Due to the uniformity of the connections, the and augmented reality will make building easier and more convenient. After the facility is constructed and placed into service, it will modify. Only the relevant rods are required for replacement or addition. A more comprehensive building cycle will develop. Additionally, possibilities. If the structure is no longer required. The deconstructed poles will be simple to recycle and reuse.
