Instructor: Zheng Yue
In Fengwei Town, the growth process of seaweed goes through three seasons, from seaweed seedling cultivation, seaweed growing in the sea, to seaweed drying on the shore, seaweed pouring into cakes, processing, storage, etc. However, due to lack of planning, the production line for seaweed cultivation is very immature and has a lot of problems.
As a material that needs to be used in every step of the seaweed growth process, moso bamboo plays a major role, but it also brings problems such as waste, corrosion, and pollution. If moso bamboo can be reused rationally and efficiently, it will not only create a better environment for the growth of seaweed, but also improve the industrial chain, and activate the local economy.

Based on functional requirements, I envisioned four different forms of flat space and designed four stone walls with different thicknesses, heights, and degrees of openness, as well as four bamboo structures with different degrees of openness and inclination. During the hybrid exploration process, four building forms were generated.
The four spatial structures correspond to different functions in the seaweed production process. Subsequently, the connections of the four buildings were adjusted according to the terrain and crowd, and activity squares with different functions were enclosed. Different pedestrian and vehicle flow lines were designed for different time periods.
Every spring, fishermen need to put seaweed seeds into seashells, cultivate them to form shell spores, and then transport the cultivated seaweed seedlings in small boats to and fro in the sea for sprinkling operations. After the seaweed matures, fishermen recycle it and dry it on the shore. After a series of processing and transportation, it is stored intact and sent from the dock to different places.

Aerial View
Every spring, fishermen need to plant seaweed spores in shells, which can grow seaweed seedlings after being exposed to sunlight. Fishermen can immerse it in the salty sea.The design has changed the previous flat planting process and instead adopted a three-dimensional hanging shell planting method for seaweed. This not only saves area, increases production, but also makes it more convenient for fishermen to process and take care of.
People can pick up the growing seaweed from the seaside and put it into the drying space built by fishermen. Bamboo boards can be adjusted according to the angle of sunlight, allowing the seaweed to be fully exposed to the sun. The dried seaweed can be used for subsequent processing.
From the profile, it can be seen that the elevation difference arrangement along the coastal shore of the factory includes a shell planting area, a seaweed drying area, a seaweed processing area, and a storage area according to the processing flow line. Processed seaweed can be directly transported out.

Seaweed Drying Area
Seaweed Seedling Planting Area
The seaweed factory is built along the sea, with a slope on the shore. Multiple factories are arranged according to the mountain terrain and the flow line of human use. People can collect seaweed from the sea and gradually carry out drying, cleaning, processing, storage, and transportation steps along the flow line. Fishermen can enjoy beautiful sea views while working, greatly reducing losses during transportation.
Orthogonal Construction
Multiple bamboo structures are constructed orthogonally and fixed with iron wires as the foundation for the bottom.
Diagonal Construction
Skew construction is often used on roofs or windowsills, with triangles providing stronger stability to support in three directions while creating a sloping construction effect.
Diagonal Construction
Placing the center of gravity of the triangle construction below can usually lead to the construction of many simple drying structures. Fix the junctions in three directions with iron wire.
Auxiliary Support
The inclined angle construction method often requires more support and fixation, using iron wire and additional bamboo to increase more fixation and enhance stability.
After building a seaweed factory on the shore, people can collect seaweed from the sea and gradually carry out steps such as drying, cleaning, processing, storage, and transportation along the streamline. Greatly reducing the workload of fishermen.

In this design, I focus on dealing with the relationship between architecture and nature. Placing the irregular concrete in the middle not only introduce the natural environment, but also better connect different functions.
This technique reflects the comparison between regular and irregular spaces, the comparison between indoor and semi outdoor spaces, and the contrast between the hard concrete and the lightweight steel suspension structure during the model production process.
hope people can have more conversations in this place, get closer to nature, reactivate the vitality of the place, and attract more people to come.

The concrete umbrella structure inside the building, the roof collects acid rain and circulates it to the inside, forming a natural environment in the atrium of the building, in contrast to the smooth concrete surface on the other side.
At the same time, it plays an integral supporting role together with the core tube.
In order to support the floor, a steel cable suspension structure is used to release the space to the greatest extent and form a free-flowing space.
The core tubes on both sides are used as the overall structural support, and also retain the traffic function of the original building. Release the facades on the east and west sides.
Use steel cables to elevate the floor to reflect the lightness and flexibility of the structure
In the central concrete space, many connections between different floors have been created, connecting different groups of people here. People can have a closer connection with nature, such as reading while appreciating plants, climbing on mountains, and so on.
The thick concrete space serves as an internal ecological space that echoes nature while the large space created by the suspension structure provides different indoor activities opportunities for the crowd meeting the needs of different functions.

Continuous corridors activate living spaces
Type: Individual Work
Site: Nankai University Balitai Campus, Xuefu Street, Nankai District, Tianjin
Traditional apartments always have such problems: poor lighting and ventilation in parking lots, monotonous corridors and staircase spaces, and low utilization of rooftop space occupied by equipment. As the only public space in apartments, people excessively pay attention to their living unit type and conditions, but neglect the importance of these spaces, resulting in the unreasonable planning and utilization of public spaces.
I hope that in an increasingly private social environment, people can have more space to interact and relax with people, rather than hiding in their own bedrooms. So, these idle spaces should become interesting, gain people’s favor, increase their spatial experience, and improve their quality of life.
I hope to replace the monotonous escape stairs with corridors with rich changes and experiences. Reconnect different public spaces through this highly continuous corridor. Become the main body of the apartment. People can have meals, drink tea, chat with people, exercise, swim, and so on. These spaces will enrich people’s living experience.
In the parking lot, a large number of traffic flow lines are composed of spiral ramps, , ignoring the feelings of drivers and passengers using the space.
The corridors connecting various rooms in the apartment lack consideration for their additional functions in design. People hope to create some tea breaks and coffee shops.
The transportation space in the apartment comes with many platforms, hope to create some galleries and fitness areas as people move and stay.
The roofs of traditional apartments are unused, filled with equipment. I hope the roof of the apartment can provide people with leisure, as a swimming pool, or as a social space.
I extracted four types of spaces that had problems in the original apartment and improved them, generating multiple different prototypes. Utilize methods such as ramps, steps, and wall openings, misalignment, etc. to make the space more diverse and interesting.
After transformation, the four spatial prototypes form continuous corridors and traffic spaces in the building.The corridors that continue from the bottom to the top connect many public spaces, interspersed with residential spaces.People no longer need to travel through boring transportation spaces, but can shuttle and chat with friends in such rich spaces.

Unlike the monotonous and uninteresting parking lot in the past, people waiting here can enjoy a rich courtyard landscape and shared activity spaces,which greatly enhance the living quality.
The continuous upward corridors break the monotonous residential space, which not only have different indoor and outdoor landscapes, but also are endowed with different shared functions.
There are many Shared space with different functions inside the house, some are open outdoor forms, and some are indoor spaces with strong privacy. These spaces are connected by continuous corridors.
Unlike those roofs which are full of equipment and rarely used, the end of the corridor reaches the Roof garden of the apartment, where picnic space and hot spring swimming pool are arranged.
This semi outdoor shared space has an excellent view from the view, and the people in the apartment can see each other with the people in the lower level park.This area has become a paradise for people to take walks and observe scenery.
The stairs in the apartment are no longer in a closed and monotonous state. The corridors, steps, and outdoor terraces together create a shared space within the apartment, where people sit idle, drink tea, and chat.

Course Name:Architectural Design 4
Instructor: Martin Fernandez
This project proposes a fully autonomous financial and government archive at 80 Maiden Lane, Manhattan, addressing the high demand for secure, automated storage in the Financial District. Unlike traditional facilities, it integrates vertical spatial layouts optimized for mechanical devices, enabling efficient high-density storage.
The facade evolves from functional transparency to decorative complexity, harmonizing new additions with the original building through gradient effects and respecting its grid.
Key contrasts include transitioning from vertical slab-based human-oriented spaces to horizontal mechanized systems tailored for non-human architecture. The facade’s geometric patterns inform interior spatial configurations, ensuring seamless continuity between exterior and interior while enhancing functionality and aesthetics. The design emphasizes urban integration, serving as a model for automated archival facilities in dense metropolitan contexts. The unified aesthetic merges old and new through consistent typologies, intelligent robotic systems, and innovative indoor-outdoor integration.
Moves documents efficiently within the facility.

Effect
Building facades have evolved from functional transparency to decorative complexity, connecting interior and exterior spaces.
Facade elements maintain external and internal continuity.
Effect
Facades blur the distinction between indoor and outdoor spaces through multi-layered structures. Acting as a thick structural medium, the envelope of the building twists and turns, generating spaces rather than enclosing them
Designing additions to existing structures requires a transitional approach that respects the original while connecting new elements. By blending the flow of facade delicate fabric with the monumental structure, we achieve a harmonious yet distinctive integration

This project explores the reinterpretation of traditional Lingnan courtyard dwellings in a contemporary architectural context. Inspired by the intricate spatial organization of Lingnan gardens, the design integrates layered greenery, shaded corridors, and interconnected courtyards to create a climate-adaptive and socially engaging elderly housing environment. By translating classical elements such as sky wells, cold alleys, and garden chains, the project enhances thermal comfort and fosters a dynamic spatial experience. This approach not only preserves the essence of Lingnan living but also reimagines it as a sustainable and healing space for modern senior communities.
This translation of architectural elements draws inspiration from traditional Lingnan buildings, transforming them into modular units that integrate spatial layering, openness, and climate adaptability to serve diverse community functions.

UNFOLDED SECTION
By unfolding and layering sections, this design creates a diverse therapeutic environment for the elderly, integrating visual, olfactory, auditory, tactile, and hydrotherapy healing spaces. The landscape incorporates a variety of vegetation, from towering trees and dense shrubs in semiprivate areas to herbs, flowering plants, and aquatic vegetation in open healing zones. Visual therapy areas use vibrant seasonal plants to stimulate the senses, while scented gardens with aromatic herbs and flowering species promote relaxation.
A healing garden is established on the north side of the site to buffer the focus of attention on the north side of the site. At the same time, the combination of landscape and residential functions also creates a more comfortable and healing healing garden integrated space.

By translating the vertical space of Lingnan gardens, the characteristics of "interconnection of buildings on the second floor and above" and the combination of "tour routes on the upper and lower floors" and "complexity of tour routes" are created, recidents can wandering through paths around while enjoying the views nearby.
Blending tradition with innovation, this project reinterprets Lingnan garden principles to create a climate-responsive, healing environment that fosters both social interaction and individual well-being. Through thoughtful spatial layering, seamless connectivity, and the integration of passive climate strategies, it transforms fragmented and underutilized spaces into vibrant, livable communities. By embracing the essence of Lingnan architecture while addressing contemporary needs, this design envisions a future where space is not just a shelter, but a medium for cultural continuity, environmental harmony, and enriched living experiences.

Over the past four years, I have experimented with various architectural design techniques.But I perpetually consider myself a novice. I am well aware that designers should always maintain a humble disposition and embrace diverse perspectives. Nevertheless, as you delve into the depths of my heartfelt expressions, I sincerely hope that you will uncover the subtle nuances and detailed thoughts concealed within every nook and cranny of my architectural creations. The sense of awe and astonishment that I aspire to evoke is akin to the emotions evoked within me each time I step foot inside an elegant building, leaving an unforgettable tactile impression for a long time. This sentiment aligns with my original intention as an architect: utilizing my power to generate a faint resonance to the echoes of the world with every brick and tile I create myself.
