INTRO:

EX TR ACURRICUL AR AC TIVITIES:

I’m Jingyi Zhang, a recent architecture undergraduate with a degree of Bachelor of Environments from Melbourne University. I have gradually developed my passion for architecture during my undergraduate degree. I sincerely appreciate and cherish the opportunity, offered by this major, to realise my imagination and vision through design, and present myself confidently in public.

2017 GAP- TEHRAN committee exhibition team

I have a particular interest in architecture which builds a strong connection between personal emotions, techniques, and forms. I envision architecture should be a tool to heal people. It needs to source power from the dark side of humanity and seek ways to make a difference.

I’m grateful for the compliment I received during the undergraduate degree. However, I know there is still a long way to go to become a qualified architect. I wish to keep studying hard in this journey to strengthen my professional skills and open to unknown challenges.

‘BREAK-OUT AND SURPRISE ’ HIGH SCHOOL DESIGN

To create a comfortable , enjoyable and stimulating learning environment for students, by offering surprises and many break-out opportunities.

Studio Fire is the capstone subject for my undergraduate degree. The design brief is to design a new sports stadium, a renaissance center and a general learning area for University High School, which locates at the intersection of Royal Parade and Story St, Parkville.

From the site visit experience and the communication with UHS students, one issue is identified: its old built forms create a very depressing learning environment. It reflects on the lack of informal learning and socialising space, the lack of communication and interaction between floors, as well as the lack of opportunities to temporarily connect to outside for refreshing.

The project “break-out and surprise“ aims to create a comfortable, enjoyable and stimulating learning environment for students, by offering surprises and many break-out opportunities.

Two strategies are used to achieve this goal. Primarily, ‘BREAK’ is used to create larger multi-level volumes, where socialising and informal learning could take place, and where better connection to the outside can be offered. Secondly, ‘Denial and Reward’ is used to bring surprise and joy to student’s daily life.

This project envisions sports stadium as an essential break-out space. A timber single span roof system with diverse skylight is created to add the dynamics of light to this large avenue to bring extra joy here.

LEARNING

COMPLEX

This project selects learning complex as the focus. Apart from fulfilling the functional need of a school, this project subtracts two multi-story volumes from the whole mass to create break-out opportunities. Some causal study and social activities could happen around these areas. Besides, an organic formal language is used to avoid direct footpath and create more space along circulation for quick communication with others. The external facade also uses this language.

The facade is designed based on the idea of ‘Denial and Reward’. Limited view to the inside is permitted, which helps to trigger people’s curiosity and wish to explore what’s inside.

Also, the slots on the facade are articulated carefully to partially reveal the most exciting area in this building and also brings in natural light and excellent view to the atrium space.

The facade uses perforated aluminium sheet and is fixed to the steel frame which then is connected to the floor slab. The material also creates a contrast between the exterior impression and interior experience, because interior materials have a much warmer tone.

JOURNEY to AF TE RLIFE ’

PARAME TRIC DESIGN + CEME TERY DESIGN

We adopted a generative design approach.

Inspirations are drawn from my fear of death.

The algorithm is built with a close reference to the process of corpse decomposition.

Learning from the dark side, we wish to use architecture to heal the darkness and give positive energy to the public. This project ‘A Journey to Afterlife‘ decides to create a cemetery/garden, which use human ash to plant trees, to heal the fear of death.

The site for this project is located close to Dights fall reserve, along Merri Creek Trail, Melbourne. Two installations are designed for the site.

This iteration is selected because it is able to well display every step in the decay process and it is relatively buildable compared with others. It has the potential to be developed into a climbing facility open for public use.

However, it requires rationalisation in three aspects: firstly, more habitable space are required; secondly, the function/narrative needs to be more powerful to heal the fear of death; lastly, the form needs to be simplified and sorted in order to be 3D printable.

At this stage, this studio starts to shift from a generative method to a more compositional method. The generative approach gave me a rich vocabulary of forms. The next phase is to articulate this vocabulary to compose a beautiful and meaningful architecture.

DESIGN

CEMETERY // GARDEN USE ASH TO PLANT TREES. The death of one life nourishes another life to thrive. This exactly follows the decomposition process in nature. Death is not the end. Decaying is not the equivalent to disappearing. It is a process of relocating and redistributing!

Since death becomes a semicolon rather than a full stop, it all of a sudden becomes not so sad and heavy. Life continues on in this world with another form.

Additionally, this cemetery/garden idea also leads people who are alive to love every plant, every creature around us. As very likely, these creatures inherit bits and pieces from our loved ones. Then every creature shares emotions, every life is cherished.

The idea of using death as the nutrient for life and use life as the monument for death is just so powerful to heal the fear.

Death is not scary anymore. Because it becomes nothing more than a word. We give it new meaning. The meaning is life. Life shows its ultimate triumph over death.

Why can’t funerals be celebrated as festivals?

Why can’t we invite the whole community to witness the epic moment of life “metamorphosis”?

Why can’t we have a heroic narrative for death?

With these thoughts in mind, I designed the 5th type of garden/cemetery system: a few porous capsules are elevated high up in the air, for ash dispersing. This activity might be unpleasing in normal conditions. But here I propose we can do

it in a comfortable and poetic way. It is a sacred activity conducted once a year. The ash donated by the community will be dyed into different colors and then transfered into these capsules. As the wind blows, these beautiful powder will be dancing in the sky.

Ash will be dispersed into the air, soil, and absorbed by plants and animals.

We are born from nature. We will come back to nature again.

‘SECRE T BEAUT Y IN NATURE ’

nc

PAVILION DESIGN “I have made them look at trees again.”

David Hockney Studio earth asks us to design a pavilion on herring island, Melbourne to keep secret.

Herring island used to be a silt dump. Thanks for volunteers’ continuous effort since the 1980s, this land now starts to display its charm as a beautiful natural resort.

This unique history inspires this project to create a pavilion to store the secret beauty of nature. In this pavilion, visitors will be temporarily extracted away from nature. However, apertures of various types and sizes are created to give visitors limited senses of light, wildlife, and scenery outside. By doing so, this project offers visitors a different perspective to view nature, with the intention to guide people to appreciate its beauty that we so often neglected in our daily life.

The investigation of the site on three aspects: publicity, vegetation density, and topography have led the project to chose the northwest corner of the island as its site.

STUDIO

GR AVEYARD’

GROUP WORK: J I NGYI ZHANG// ME NG LEONG// YUTI NG YANG Super studio is a two-day competition organized by Australian Institute of Architects.

The brief is to propose an architectural solution to the problems we are facing in the city.

‘Sky Graveyard’ looks into urban inhabitants’ anxiety and insecurity caused by various urban treats.

It proposes a solution by hovering graveyards over the CBD. As worst situation treats may lead to is death, we decide to showcase death at out footsteps splendidly and beautifully. By so, we ask people to rethink death and life. Given death is always there, there is no need to be anxious about it. Cherishing every day of living is the only thing we can do. Also bringing death close to our life makes death not so scary anymore.

It is part of life. The whole community will endure the sorrow together and spread love and hope widely.

Two strategies are adopted for form finding: hover structure over city fabric to create an ultimate display of death; slice and alter the urban cuboid to symbolize the chaos and disorder we are living in.

Besides spiritual meaning, this project also has potential to solve social problems, such as reducing the pressure on land use and creating more public space for gathering and recreation in the highly urbanized area.

Workflow: TOP TOPOGRAPHY

Inspired by ocean drum, ‘Ocean Percussion’ makes sound through the collision between metal balls and the instrument. It creates intricate surface topography for metal balls to travel. By rotating or tapping the device, the metal ball will take on different paths. They may diverge, converge, fall, turn, hit the surface boundary and bounce back. Then various sounds will be created.

SLEEPING POD

‘CR ADLE ’

WOOL THREAD TEXTURE

GROU P WORK: J I NGYI ZHANG// RONGLI QIAN(REBECCA) The brief is to design a sleeping pod used in public when it is improper to lay down.

‘Cradle’ is a wearable structure that responses to the requirement of comfort and privacy to sleep in public. It aims to create a semi-private effect: have enough personal space and avoid eye contact with others, but also not wholly isolated from the crowd.

To maximize comfort, ‘Cradle’ has an undulating inner topography following the shape of human body.

The material system, called section and profile, is used for this project. It uses discontinuous sections to create continuous overall shape.

Corrugated cardboards are utilized for its light-weight quality. To reduce the hardness, they are wrapped with knitting threads. This eventually gives ‘Cradle‘ a pastoral impression.
