[TERRETEKTORH] PERFORMANCE CENTER IN PATRAS

2017 SPRING STUDIO, GSAPP, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Critics: Steven Holl & Dimitra Tsachrelia Team Member: Shuni Wu Our project starts with a music piece â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terretektorhâ&#x20AC;? composed by Greek architect and musician Iannis Xenakis. Elements of nature and violence sound as architectural space, making the music of Xenakis the opposite of a dry mathematical exercise. Terretektorh is such a music piece that tries to interpret the sound of nature by scattering 88 musician into public, they sit together in a circular way. Every music note from Terretektorh generates a series of sound rotations according to the three different mathematical spirals. The sound moves on a circular motion and surrounds the public. We take these curves as the language of architecture, and translate them into our plans and section, trying to create the spaces that are encircled by the rotations of sound.

“Even the whisper of pine forests, can encircle any listener.” —— Iannis Xenakis

SEATING PLAN OF TERRETEKTORH

The 88 musicians are positioned in a ring around the conductor. Most importantly and innovatively, this necessitates that the public be within the sound. The sound cones from all sides, the work being, according to the composer, the translation into music of phenomena from nature. The public finds itself submerged in the sound.

“When I was camping, I heard the sounds come from everywhere: I tried to reproduce the same thing in the space of the concert hall.” —— Iannis Xenakis

TRANSLATION IN PLAN AND SECTION

Divide the plan into seven sections according to the duration of each sound rotation. Connect the seven curves and keep their original shapes. The curves are joined and continue untill the sound changes the direction of rotation, which create a interruption in the center.

Add the duration of each sound into the plan, and then the sound will not only be linear, it will create a surface that can encircle space.

Use the same curves as the plan in section. In upper level, every curve is placed from higher point to lower point, creating a space with the change in height continually, rendering a space atmosphere according to the change of curvature, which means the speed of sound rotation. In the bottom, the curves are translated into stairs which connect plains in different height, supporting the curves above.

ROOF STRUCTURE DETAIL The spaces are created according to the geometry of steel plates, as well as forming a private conversation between inside and outside. When in the point the sound changes its direction, all of of musicians are all performing at the same time, so we use a series of curves in the central space, lay them crossing the diagonal motion of the roof, it forge a large volume that allows maximum music vibration being performed in the space. And this space finally becomes our concert hall.

The steel plates overlap with each other, not only create special space experience for public, but also work together as the main structure of the roof, laying on top of the vertical walls. In between those steel plates, a kind of transparent fabric is used to close the space, it lets sunlight coming through, makes the public submerged in the sound and light of nature.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENT COLLECTION DESIGN 2016 SUMMER STUDIO, GSAPP, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Critic: Mark Rakatansky Individual Work

The theme of the studio is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Metamorphicâ&#x20AC;? and my research object is musical instrument. The changes of every element of a guitar contribute to the change of the sound of the instrument, which could be translated to architectural language, that the transformations between walls, floors, and exhibition furnitures contribute to the sequence of space. This design principle is applied to the entire building at different levels of scale, associated with curating strategies, creating transformable spaces for the display of musical instruments.

DATING BACK Ancient Egypt, Greek and Roman World The origin of musical instrument dated back to ancient Egypt, about 3000 BC, when music was played in temples, palaces, workshops, farms, battlefields and the tomb. So, the exhibition of ancient musical instruments is connected to the Egyptian Temple on the basement floor level. And the exhibition is curated to create a sense of ceremony, which can help visitors experience music as ancient people.

ENTRANCE TO HUDSON RIVER PARK 2016 FALL STUDIO, GSAPP, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Architecture Critics: Richar Plunz,Tyler Silvestro Engineering Critics : Patricia Culligan, Amy Motzny, Robert Elliott Team Members: Ruosen Du As Architect Mycheal Crafton, Andre Fuqua As Engineers Link 52 is an urban landscape that aims to facilitate cultural and ecological exchange. It aims to establish a west side junction between the cityscape and Hudson River. As a physical entrance to Hudson River Park from the High Line and West Side highway, it also stands as a landmark for a more sustainable future along West Street. Through exploration of shoreline edge conditions and land water interactions, Link 52 serves as a hub for ecological revival, improving water quality in the Hudson River Estuary and restoring native plant species. Too, the site exists as a public space for leisure and activity and while promoting human interaction with the Hudson River

[MODULAR DESIGN] BROOKLYN POD HOTEL

2016 FALL ELECTIVE, GSAPP, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Critic: David Wallance Team Members: Michael Nickerson, Emily Siegel, Mattew Lohry

Located in Brooklyn, New York City, the pod hotel is assembled by pre-fabricated modules. Based on the requirements of room type and quantity, we try to maximize the public space by creating a courtyard in the center and opening the first floor to the river side. The idea of module is realized in different scales of the design, including the size of the rooms, furnitures inside, and the double-layer facade.

OLD BAMBOO HOUSE TRANSFORMATION 2014, RESEARCH PROGRAM, GUANGZHOU, CHINA Critic: Haohao Xu Individual Work

As a kind of traditional residential typology, bamboo house in Southern China has gradually failed to meet the needs of modern people for daylighting, ventilation and space utilization because of its large-depth and narrow-width layout. My research is based on a relatively intact bamboo house, on the basis of measurement, the evaluation of the structure, keep the original structure as far as possible, use split-level floors to bring more light into the room, and maximize the utilization of space.

HISTORICAL ENVIRONMENT The old bamboo house is located in Baoyuan Road, Xiguan, the old city of Guangzhou, with rich cultural heritage, but it is now facing problems, like the dark environment inside, the structural damage. Because of the limited site it sits, a new space formation should be created to solve these problems, ensure the living space for people living in high density blocks and at the same time creating social space.

MAPPING OF THE OLD HOUSE Bamboo house is the traditional dwelling in Guangzhou. Its narrow site restricts the arrangement of spaces, rooms are usually linearly organized, receive limited sunlight from a narrow courtyard.

TRANSFORMATION Break the original space arrangement by switch the rooms both in plan and section, getting more light and ventilation. Bedrooms are organized at the front, back and upper side while the central space will be used as social space. Split levels can also raise the space utilization.

The owner of the house are three friends, a musician, a writer and a artist. Even they have different schedule, different preferences in daily life, they can find the best and suitable space for each of them, and sharing a living room in between their personal habitat. The ground level keeps the commercial function, opens to the street, like the old house did.

[ARCHI-CITY] SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 2014 SPRING STUDIO, GUANGZHOU Critic: Ruifeng Tian Team Member: Ying Ding 3rd Prize in Revit Cup National Student Architecture Design Competition

The school of architecture is the place where students spend most of their time in, just likes a micro city, studying, meeting, and even sleeping, we wish for a place that can make us feel at home. So I extract elements from real cities, interpret them in a single building, producing spaces in different hierarchy, whatever would you like to do, you could find the right place.

ISSUE The monotonous organization in traditional school of architecture causes limited communication space or limited individual working space communication space in plan

GENERATION

1. Put the main entrance at the northwest corner, facing the campus center, and open the building to the city at the east and south sides. Introduce the orthogonal grid into our site due to the campus regularly planned campus.

2. Each grid unit is a classroom. The space between two layers of grids provides more interfaces for students to communicate. Combine some classrooms together for public use and there comes a hierarchy system.

3. The north and west sides of the building is holistically formed to coordinate with the existing buildings in the campus, while the other two sides are formed more actively.

4. The north and west sides of the building are taller thus can prevent from the chill wind in winter. The south and east sides of setbacks provide better sunshine and more terraces.

GROUND FLOOR

SECOND FLOOR

PRIVATE

There are most public functions in the ground floor including exhibition, library, modeling room and review space. The open space, like the lobby, the court yard are surrounded by different functions. The organization of the public function, the publicity of corridors and also the creation of the open space inside the building are all from the configuration in a city.

The organization of the public function and the rul also extend to the second floor. So the corridors ar study area is surrounded by different kind of classr

les to create the open space and corridors can re still under the hierarchy system and the open rooms.

THIRD FLOOR

Because of the setbacks of the volume, there are fewer levels of open area in the third floor. But the corridors are still under the hierarchy system and the open study area is surrounded by different kind of classrooms.

The hierarchy of the open space system can also be seen from section. From the high and spacious lobby, the terraced sunken space, the courtyard shared by every two classrooms, to every single unit, the hierarchical open space configuration we get from a city could be interpreted in this building.

The terraced sunken space can be used for shows, for reviews, and also for other functions. Just like a open square in a city that cultivates people's daily life, the sunken area in the architecture hall contains every day activity of the students in it.

Every class consists of a regular study space, providing everyone with a relatively exclusive space, and a open space for group study.

Lawns surrounding the classrooms are the best places for outdoor activities.

Roof provides the place for making large scale constructions and models

relatively exclusve relatively open very open Vertical connections make communication easier. The open small room can satisfy you whenever you want to paint, read or make models. Every two classes share a courtyard, which is the most active outdoor space , and it can also be connected with regular classrooms to form a bigger space. The partitions between are movable, can be used as a wall if a reviewing space is needed, be removed if a larger space is needed.

[BLURRING] SOUTHERN CHINA ART MUSEUM 2014 SPRING STUDIO, GUANGZHOU Critic: Guoguang Wang Individual Work

As the museum is located in a park by the lake, I do not want it to destroy the integrity of the landscape and the open view of the whole lake. So I used the hill inside the site to make the building merged into the landscape, the hill looks like flowing into the building becoming a courtyard, resulting in a blurring space between indoor and outdoor space. As the whole building laid flat, the roof became a open public space, the landscape was returned to the public. The exhibition space is located under the roof platform, and the spatial layout was designed according to the traditional Lingnan village. The exhibition hall uses the element of traditional sloping roof, breaks the roof terrace, enables people to experience the traditional village atmosphere.

The site is situated in the east shoreside of Baiyun Lake, Guangzhou. Near from Baiyun Mountain, but far from the city center, the lake is embraced by beautiful natural scenery, made a good place for citizens as well as residents around to go for a outgoing. In order not to damage the integrated site and views, the museum I want to build is a open, free, and merged in to the environment, blurring the inside and outside spaces.

[METABOLISM] HISTORICAL BLOCK RENEWAL 2015 SPRING STUDIO, GUANGZHOU Critics: Feng Jiang, Francesca Frassoldati Team Members: Haisheng Xu, Hanyang Yu

City is a dynamic environment where everything is changing, people, activities and buildings. Normal metabolic changes is the base of the stability of the city. In such a declining old city, I choose to metabolize it from the most potential part, by making it a better one and then promoting the development of the whole area.

PROBLEMS IN THE SITE PATH NETWORK

ROAD AND PARKING

PUBLIC SPACE

DIRECTION OF BUILDING

P P

most of the paths are not connected, the market stops the communication between north and south

STRATEGY

only narrow road for cars, not continuous, hard for cars to turn around, lack of parking lot

nearly no public space for people, few open space is parked by vehicle, few is open for a certain group of people

all of the buildings around are back to the market, making the space around the market negative

Release the pressure of the site by moving and upgrading the market at first, by attracting both residents and tourists, promoting the development of the whole site.
