Self-Introduction:

Jinqi Gu is a creative, diligent, critical, and open-mind architecture student. And now he is learning third-year architecture in the Iowa State University.

Education:

B ARCH Third Year - Iowa State University

I have learned architecture for three year, and finished different types of projects: Residence building, Restruant, Studio, Pavilion, Mix-used House, Gallery. What I learned in this three years is the teamwork, which cultivate me the skill to coorperate and negotiate with my teammates.

Skill:

MODELING: RHINO, SKETCHUP, AHTO CAD, 3DS MAX, GROSSHOPPER WITH PYTHON, LASER CUT, 3D PRINT VISUALIZATION: PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR, PREMIERE, ARCHITECTURAL HAND DRAWING, IN DESIGN, MAXWELL MAXWELL RENDERING, VRAY RENDERING

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH, CHINESE

Experience: - I used to do the intership in the QPEC (ShanDong QILU Chemistry and Engineering Company Limited) in 2016 summer. I was responsible for drawing the schematic drawing, and construction drawing by Auto CAD. - In my Sophomore, I was charged with making physical model for Two by Two project, with 20 classmates. And our Two by Two project, which was published in Archdaily. -I used to participate the team about Vinice Biennale 2016, designed and fabrication a Pavilion by card boards.

Curriculums: Basic:

Project Introduction

Our site is faced with the Kimber art museum, and Modern art museum of Fort Worth. Because of the Globalization, there is a big Japanese family will move in. And the family members will have different relationships with the site. The farther is an architect, the mother is an artist, who makes the potery and show them in the museum. Our my concept is from the Japanese Shrine, and make two shifting rows of them, so that to provide enough light and ventilation for the building. The main structure we applied is the combination with the wood and concrete, in order to reproduce the Japanese timber structure. Last but not least, we addeed two courtyard in the two shifted building, to provide vegetation and a relaxing space for the families.

All About The Site

Made in Junior Fall

In my Junior Fall semester, I spent a long time exploring how the site work and influence with the architecture, from its material, weathering, culture, typologies. At the beginning, we regard the woods as our site, and explored the wood’s qualities, so that we imagined how the wood qualities like our site. Then I did the collages, models for my deeply site interpretion. Last but not least, I designed a studio for the scientists and artists on a site with diverse elements.


Material Interpretion

Site Interpretion Model

For my site interpretion model, I separated each of different typologies on same map in different layers, such as green vegetations, rivers, buildings, roads, rail ways. From different views of angle, I will find different compositions from different elements. Thus, the different landscape elements react to each others, and show the different special effects. That is what I found in the Landscape. 3


Deeper Site Analysis

For my deeper Site Analysis, I moved forward for my project. For the first collages, I used one point sectonal pers you a clear impression for the site. My second collage, I’m more focused on the feeling. The vertical obelisk is a media, which can gather the around landscape elements, and let them react. Then sublimation. It likes the folloers come to pilgrim to show their worship. The thrird model is more abut the project. I roughly devided the site for four parts, river, forest, entertainment, and coal mound. Then, I add the mass model on the specific position of the site. Then I connected the model with specific aera, to show their relevant relatoinship.

Coal Erosion

Tree Remediation

Allee

After the function areas division, I found threre is a issue on the site. The coal mound will corrode the landcape in the future. Thus, in order to deal with the issue, the scientists in the studio will plant the tree each 5 years, so that to recultivate the site. And between the trees lines are Allee ways for people to relax here. For the finally concept, the building like curve, which will connect each function are fluently. In the details, I made the strcture columns like tree shape, in order to form a feeling that people standing in a vertical environment, no matter how they are standing interior or exterior.

Circulation

The basic concept of the the columns is that they are standing around the building, in order to create a viertical trees feeling in the interior. So I arrange the tree truss columns along with two main edges in each floors. And I add the mapping command, so that I can munipulate the shape whatever I want. Finally, I combine the curve division, mapping together to create four rows of tree truss.

Columns

Based on the site analysis of building elevations, street conditions, I found that the streets full of concrete with rare trees and the architecture styles are conservative, with kind of inanition atmosphere. Considering providing and immproving a good eating ambiance for guests, I decide to inject a fresh blood with a form-active structure to this site to change the architecture style layout and attract the guests’ eyes. Therefore, I will design a resturant with the dominant of a reinforced fiberglass greenhouse.

Public Observation


Concept

In this project, our five secctions will explore how to rebuild a public space, based what it originally has. Firstly, I measured and investigated different people gestures when they doing different activities, so that I can conclude the common measurement and gestures for the public. Then I tried to design the a special public facilities from the section, which can accomodate a lot of people activities. Then, we selected the best one form each of the section.

Schematic Design

Thus, our five sections come up with five final ideas, and each site size is 5 by 20 ft . After the research about timber construction, we design the special joints for even layers and odd layers timber. In the whole constrction process, Im the person, who was charged with the mini models construction, with 20 classmates, which is really important for the whole process. Because only we had the mini model, then we could do the real size model.

Public Observation

In conclusion, the Two by Two is a facinating and successful project. It includes the process of schematic design, documents, fabrication, assembly, team cooperation, negatiatin, and organization. The work I did is I organized 20 classmates doing the physical model, which was the most early step to fabrication, and I learn how to coorperate with the teammates and finish work efficiently.
