PROLOGUE Every building should not be an independent individual. The architectural identity is inseparable from its environment, the context of its location, and the social nature of the site. In his "The Architecture of the City", Aldo Rossi defines the relationship between architecture and the specific environment in which it is located as "locus", and believes that this relationship is unique and universal. I also believe that any architectural work will always have his specific place. The core content of this bond is culture. Culture is the accumulation and precipitation of the history, politics, events, and thoughts of a city and a place. It is unique to a certain field. If we cut from the perspective of architecture and re-deconstruct the culture, it will create a new mapping for architectural design. The core content of my portfolio that I want to explore and understand is — cultural reconstruction. The four works in this collection are based on the reflections of historical or social realities. I try to re-understand the culture behind it and use the architectural design vocabulary to create a new interpretation.

"Beauty is not equal to attractive, but distracting. This is the architecture of forgetting." —— 'Mies van der Rohe’s Paradoxical Symmetries' Robin Evans
The capitalism continues to permeate in 21th century, which made the ‘Generic City’ more universal, and it erodes the city space, social relations and cognition of emotion, establishes and solidifies the class of captial, politics, culture. However, the modern human need an adverse social relations with vitality and no-class nature, then it requires us to seek an existing will on spiritual level. Nowadays, the eclipse of communal bathing is one symptom of a wider global transformation, away from small ritualistic societies to vast urban metropolises populated by loose networks of private individuals. Nevertheless, the City bath is a more powerful counterimage to the dominant picture of modernity than the archetypal bathhouse.

Mu, the shape of the figure is like a cup of water in the hands of the hair; Yu, shape if the person is in the vessel. The word bathing contains the most primitive spatial composition of this act.
In recent decades, China's economy has developed rapidly, and Shanghai is a microcosm. The two banks of the Huangpu River are the most concentrated places in China, and they are also the most obvious places for class solidification.

The Roman bathhouse is a place where all social classes can bathe together. It has the role of promoting democracy, and this kind of cosmopolitanism that has emerged from the nakedness has become an important belief of the Romans.

Based on these environmental factors, the City Bath could break through the rigid laws that regulate the so-called‘normal body’, by reinventing the historical social functions of the ancient originals and combining the most attractive aspects to build a new model, would compensate for the erosion of public spaces elsewhere.
Bathhouse In the morning, the skin is wrapped in water and the water is wrapped in skin in the evening. This is the ideal life for a small country. The bathhouse itself is a utopia.

Independent Bathroom
The fall of collective bathing In the past, the small society that pursued the sense of ritual turned into a large-scale urban city with loose individual social networks, and people became more lonely and indifferent.
Shanghai is a diverse city, but has serious concept of hierarchy. Red buildings represent the nobility and upper class. Grey buildings represent the third estate. We can obviously see the characteristic of these buildings and associate with people of different classes consciously.
Local citizens normally concentrate in some specific zones. In the picture, people of different scales represent different classes and they prefer to go to different zones with corresponding characteristics. Then class contradictions show up, which then brought conflict in city.
Bath culture has a long history in Shanghai. Citizens used to take bath in the tub in ancient time. Afterwards, the public bath appeared to meet the demands of daily life. However, the public bath fades away today as a result that people have ability to pay for taking bath at home.

The Bund in Shanghai owns the most concentrated capital in China. At this site, the City bath is like an oasis in the desert, secularizing the bathing ritual behavior, with the aim of providing the final spiritual sanctuary to those struggling in capital. We try to realize the vision of reversing the urban desertification via the carrier of City bath. In order to resist the invasion of capital and break the inherent social class, the City bath derives from the perspective of psychology and behavior, through the architectural space to achieve the mandatory transformation of the behavior of people, to study the psychological and behavioral changes of people in different architectural spaces. The building space will be re-engineered and the process will be linearized and connected into a narrative chapter of the entire Citi-bath space.

Peep Peeking is a kind of psychological instinct. Freud believes that peeks satisfy the needs of people's inner subconscious, and people get sexual satisfaction through this. Bathing is a social activity that is most closely related to peeping. When someone just enters the bath, he will have a voyeuristic desire, and it is the basis for the next step of communication.
The Gaze of Others
In Lacan's psychoanalysis, the composition of the self and the subject are associated with a particular structural moment. This is the individual's observation and speech: the gestalt of the self is accomplished by watching and gazing through the mirror. Bathing in a semi-private cubicle is a gaze of the other to yourself and to others.

"Cities that are vibrant, diverse and versatile are the seeds of self-regeneration." —— ' The Death and Life of Great American Cities' Jane Jacobs In the collective residence, the focus is on the living forms of occupants. The collection mainly describes the living patterns of several families from different clans who live together in one building, which is quite different from family settlement mode that is prevalent in society nowadays. In the context of the continuous expansion of urbanization and the shortage of social resources, it is urgent to change the traditional living mode and adapt to the present with a new residential form. Maslow's theory divides human needs into five categories: Physiological needs, Safety needs, Love and belonging, Esteem, and Self-actualization. Maslow's demand theory is undoubtedly applicable in collective housing. The requirements are classified, so that they can be mapped to the building mass in response to different forms of architectural space and space organization, to maximize the sharing of resources and socialization.

The “Living Citys�
Site Research
London's "The Institute of Contemporary Arts" (ICA) hosted the exhibition "Living Citys" for the school in 1963.The exhibition's "faith of using the city as a unique organism" is promoting people's experience of life. Inconsistent functional partitions, the reconstruction of the post-war society "can only achieve the density and space allocation and meet the requirements of the regulations: but the urban spirit has been lost in this process."
The venue is located next to the railway station in Suzhou Hightech Zone, which is a new direction for the future development of Suzhou City. There are a large number of closed communities nearby, including commercial houses from the 1990s to the present. This site can be a good place to break the closure between groups and promote community interaction.
The exhibition is divided into seven series to emphasize seven different themes, namely, Survival, Community, Communications, Movements, Man, Place and Situation. These different themes express the observation of human beings in daily life, that is, what they say, "In life, human beings are the ultimate subject and the main regulator."
Concept Origin Maslow's hierarchy of needs was proposed by Abraham Maslow in 1943. It divides the requirements into five categories: Physiological needs, Safety needs, Love and belonging, Esteem, and Self-actualization. After self-fulfilling the needs, there are also Self-Transcendence needs, but usually not as a necessary level in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, most of which will merge self-transcendence into self-fulfilling needs.
China has built a large number of closed communities in the process of urbanization. In 2016, the central government issued a number of regulations, stating that in order to promote the block system in China's new residential buildings, closed residential quarters will no longer be built. The completed residential quarters and unit courtyards should be gradually opened to realize the internal publicization of roads.
What is the form of residence in the future?
Siheyuan, is a traditional courtyard-style building in China. The pattern is that a courtyard has houses on all sides, and the courtyard is surrounded by four sides.

1980 was the first year of Chinese real estate. DengXiaoping defined the house as a commodity. Housing reform was simultaneously promoted, and Chinese real estate officially became an industry, starting a slow seed germination stage.

Disintergration to Recombination From the perspective of human behavior, the activities of human beings are decomposed, and public activities and private acts are completely isolated and divided into normal living activities and social interaction activities. According to this, different spatial design is carried out, and the combined variability is studied in the framework system to maximize the shared resources.

The living space and the public space are completely separated into two volumes, and the structure of the steel structure frame is used to connect and integrate them. Design the same unit in the residential area, and then combine the unit to form different types of units to suit the different needs of the family, as close as possible to form an orderly and efficient private living space.
Living Community The part of the public space is shared to the greatest extent, not only for several households on the first floor, but for the occupants of the entire condominium, designing stairs and corridors of different scales to make them accessible by traffic. And it uses a lightweight film structure to solve its lighting problems, and responds to the outside world with a completely open attitude.

Collective housing solves not only the internal problems of closed communities, but also creates new vitality and possibilities for the whole community. Designing and customizing according to the requirements of the residents and sharing the public space to the greatest extent is also a countermeasure against the phenomenon of China's current cities becoming similar.

03 Between Reality and Idealization Skyscraper Design Experimental design without site Individual & Academic Work Instructor: Wang Bin (1746415110@qq.com) Date: 2017. 09 | Senior Year
"A self-contradictory feeling seems to allow different things to coexist, and their true inconsistency is the truth of the facts." —— 'New York Herald Tribune' August Heckscher The tradition of completely using the functional type as the starting point of the architectural course training is being more and more questioned, and it is almost impossible to complete all the contents of the 500m super high-rise design within the course time limit. Therefore, this super high-rise design focuses on innovation ability. As well as the cultivation of knowledge transfer capabilities, the possibility of super high-rise building design can be explored from multiple perspectives. An unconventional structural logic is designed with the combination and deformation of the elements. Here, the structure is not limited to the columnar support of the same cross section, and it will be interposed from the sheet-like body. Bringing the structure itself into three-dimensional thinking from detail to the whole, what is required here is not mechanical rationality and efficiency, but logical precision and complexity, and implies possible spatial potential.

Reality and Idealization "The production of the world" actually refers to an architectural revolution in the North American continent a hundred years ago. Since the 1880s, the steel frame system has gradually developed. This allows the building to break through the limitations of traditional building materials and continue to grow upwards. The steel structure can “endlessly” replicate the floor space consistent with the size of the land in the vertical direction. This is the strategy that the skyscrapers used – the pure “proliferation of space”.

For a long time, whether it is a real architectural project or a theoretical hypothesis of various genres, it has provided new thinking on the architectural form of the skyscraper. However, these theories often have difficulty in balancing idealization and authenticity, lacking the support of mathematical logic, or lacking innovative depth of thinking. The focus of this design is to deal with the relationship between function and form, logic and creativity.

As a special type of building, the skyscrapers will all have the potential to expand in the “crowded” state of the city. Through the "copy of the world", the high density of the material level constructs a "crowded" side; through the carrying of urban life, the skyscrapers can maximize the content content and change, which is the other side of "crowding" .

From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the growth period experienced by the skyscrapers was just in the period of rapid development of the mutant form of human symbiosis - the metropolis.

Mathematical logic control Step 1 Firstly, accurate plan control of the shape of the unit is achieved by the deformation of the projection at the top surface of the unit and the side of the triangle of the bottom surface and the three equal points of the center line.
Plane logic
Step 2 The three "Y" shaped space combinations form the basic unit. Different basic units, which are spatially flipped by 60 degrees upwards, can achieve a continuation of height.
Step 3
Unit control
After a plurality of unit bodies are superposed in the vertical direction, a tendency of the structure to be spatially twisted occurs due to a change in the shape of the unit body. Multiple possibilities also offer greater potential for the spatial richness of the structure.

Node construction
In this design, because the difference of the unit body in the bonding box will lead to the change of the whole structure, it is first necessary to ensure the coordinated evolution of the form in the logical framework of the structure.
There are two different situations at the node, one is the intersection of a Y-shaped sheet structure rotated by 60 degrees, and the other is the intersection of a Y-shaped structure in the normal direction. Different node designs were made based on the draft and the sketch.
Secondly, we must also take into account the practical problems of super high-rises - the construction of glass curtain walls and structural nodes. The most important node in the whole structure is the intersection of Y-shaped unit bodies, including the intersection of sheet-like structures and supporting columns.
In addition, the way of the connection between the support bar of the stair can be considered and the original sheet structure. Therefore, a special butterflylike component is placed at the junction, which can make the sheet structure bite and connect the support columns in different directions.

Curtain wall system Two different curtain wall designs are performed according to the node structure and the structure growth logic.
Structure and stair The sheet structure is integrated with the internal support structure generated by the unit logic and the stair barrel.
Core tube setting Externally install the fire stairs to minimize the core tube area and maximize the building area.
As a special type of building, the skyscrapers will all have the potential to expand in the “crowded� state of the city. Through the "copy of the world", the high density of the material level constructs a "crowded" side; through the carrying of urban life, the skyscrapers can maximize the content content and change, which is the other side of "crowding" .
Floor layer change The skyscraper slab naturally changes with the growth of the structure, and considers the conversion layer to form the functional space required for the building.

Through the control of the angle and direction, the connecting rod is added in the sheet structure, and the spiral upward stair can be connected with it to integrate into a complete structural system.
According to the angle of inclination of the stairwell and the passage into the building, the division of the glass curtain wall on the building surface can be logically unified.

Super high-rise top-down functional distribution: business, office, apartment, hotel and sightseeing. Thereby, the transfer setting of the elevator and the arrangement of the core cylinder are performed.

Function to Form The overall shape of the skyscraper is adjusted according to the functional requirements of the mall, office, apartment and hotel inside the building.
Node in construction Actively design the construction nodes according to the existing structure, instead of passively understanding the conventional construction nodes. Such a node design can be migrated without being limited to the type of functionality.
Idealization to Reality The geometric rules of the form are ideally set, and then logically grow step by step, to the consideration of adding actual functions and node structures. The whole process is intended to strike a balance between idealization and reality, exploring the possibilities of this type of building in the future.

04 Peony Pavilion in the Anti-Theatre Storytelling In Urban Design Site: Gucheng District, Suzhou City Individual & Academic Work Instructor: Dong Jiang (archidj@163.com) Date: 2018. 03 | Senior Year
"The content of the city and its architectural biography describes the city in a structure composed of buildings and their emotions, and transcends any urban concept of fantasy and formalism." —— 'The Architecture of the City' Aldo Rossi Any city is facing the invasion and restriction of different factors such as capital, politics, culture and system at all times. In the process of institutionalization, it unconsciously or consciously dispels this influence through cultural traditions, geographical climate and technological capabilities, and reflects urban development and urban architecture as a free-growing urban mechanism. Therefore, what we need is to establish a paradigm that “affects” the social order, that is, “resist” to the existing order. We chose the clue of the Kunqu Opera “Peony Pavilion”. In this place in the ancient city of Suzhou, we intend to use the interpretation of the chapters of traditional theatrical works to transform it into a new, anti-traditional theater form of spatial language mapped to the city. Going in, thus subverting the city's original daily and current status, and giving the city different meanings of social connotation.
20
Location Overview The design base is located at the northernmost end of Suzhou Gucheng District, south of Pingmen, close to the moat, and opposite the Suzhou Railway Station. The venue is built with Suzhou Kunqu Theater, Kunqu Opera School, and a public cultural and art center around Suzhou. It has a strong Kunqu culture, art and education atmosphere. The urban road network is a checkerboard network, and each group of blocks is arranged in a square shape.
Conceptual Origin The narrative structure of Peony Pavilion, is taken as the conceptual starting point. Seven main episodes were selected for this theater architecture mapping and embedded in urban plots. The story line consisted of theme plots and story transition venues, which selectively reproduced the landscape environment, the character confrontation, travel style and “life and death� experience.

From the early 14th century to the beginning of the 17th century, the Renaissance movement appeared in Europe. The various forms of Italian drama during this period can be said to have grown from ancient drama.
In the 1920s, a narrative drama appeared in Germany. Piscato and Brecht's "defamiliarization effect", "dialectical drama" and "historicalization" began to become a new expression of narrative drama.

It is a way of clarifying experience, a way of exploring the meaning of life by imitating life; it is also a means of enhancing and strengthening certain occasions, such as parades and ceremonies.

In the original drama, the heroine died in grief and met with the male protagonist in the underworld. The theater in this chapter is based on the drama school. The stage is set inside different cuboids, and the window is opened on the surface. People can freely choose the repertoire they want to see in the central square.
In the original drama, the actor went to the heroine's home to find the heroine, as a result, the father of the heroine misunderstood him as a thief and tied it up. The theater in this chapter adopts an immersive experience of the drama mode. The audience reaches a number of labyrinth theaters through spiral staircases, and freely chooses the position and angle to watch different repertoires.
Chapter Seven Name: In the Palace Mode: Selective viewing Transition: On foot Site: Community zone
In the drama, everyone gathered in the palace to discuss the marriage of the two youngsters. The stage design of this theater is divided into two triangles, one side is against the marriage, and the other side is supported, to reflect the conflict in the plot reaching the climax. The audience can choose which side to support and watch the drama.

Reconstruction of Theatres 惊梦 — 写真 — 冥判 — 幽媾 — 婚走 —硬拷 — 圆驾 The repertoire of each chapter is extracted and re-interpreted, and the vocabulary of the building is used to reconstruct the original meaning and spirit of the plot in different aspects such as space, location, transition mode and viewing mode. Seven completely different theaters are connected in series through the timeline and the storyline to form a complete urban narrative structure.

Subversiveness of "Anti-Theatre"
The so-called "anti-theatre", one is to subvert the traditional theater's viewing mode, breaking the boundaries between the audience and the performers. Each theater has a theme defined by its own original repertoire, and the purpose is to give the repertoire an unconventional spatial vocabulary. The second is to redefine the image of the theater. It is not an elegant hall. The theater can also be embedded in the market. It has a kind of "everyday". Any space in the city can become a stage. Anyone can become the protagonist of the narrative. Through the concept of anti-theatre, the dramatic changes in urban narrative are achieved.

The overall planning for this area is the B&B and wine cellar. The linear architectural community creates a scene in which the characters in the repertoire travel by boat to Beijing, and the original hotel along the street is re-integrated.
Opera Guide
Visitors can follow the route of this map or arrange their own itinerary. The non-performance time theater will be used for other purposes. The overall planning of this area is a cultural and creative industrial park. The non-traditional tour mode of the cable car transmits visitors to different theater spaces to achieve scene change.
Connecting Routine The overall planning for this area is a shopping center. Through a large area of glass to reflect the interior scenes of small theaters in different positions, the viewing experience of audio-visual separation is formed. The overall planning of this area is a market, and the theater and the stage shuttle between the markets. Five spiral staircases connect the stage and the stage, and the ramp structure starts from the market and theater.
The path between the various audio-visual halls and the theater stage is connected to provide a more complete audiovisual experience for the visitors.
Touring Routine 惊梦 — 写真 — 冥判 — 幽媾 — 婚走 —硬 拷 — 圆驾 The visitor is provided to watch seven complete plays in sequence and the transition route between the theaters.
Audiovisual Studio
The overall planning for this area is the Kunqu School. The theater is used as a rehearsal place for the school in the absence of repertoire for the teaching of Kunqu Opera. It is also available for residents and tourists to visit.
This area is placed inside the original residential community to create a theater space that is completely detached and allows the audience to choose an interactive immersive experience.
Six visitor centres and a small Kunqu audiovisual pavilion are planted in the venue for visitors' services and experiences.
This area is relatively small in scope and functions as an underground theater. The "prison" is used as a prototype to strengthen the sense of borders and create a space atmosphere that is repressed and repressed in the repertoire.
