01 BUILD YOUR OWN OFFICE Imagining post-pandemic workplace design

Academic Competition Work Organizer: Bee Breeders Concept Design | Oct-Dec 2021 Individual Work Program: Office

While our society has been deeply hit by the COVID19 pandemic, to some extent we discovered more humanity and liberation during our work-from-home experiences. The concept of workplace design is facing new urgencies to embrace hybrid work mode in the post-pandemic era. In order to achieve that, I imagine workplace design should no longer carry Frank Lloyd Wright’s detail-to-doorknock mentality. Instead, design processes will be open to company employees including managers and common staff with help from architects’ guidance to create a sense of belonging. I believe that letting people own and build their workplace is critical and comparable to American Dreams of owning and building one’s own houses. After all, being able to think hard and create one’s own place is such a bliss.

With so many contemporary discussions about the possibilities remote working brings us during the covid pandemic, and the majority of talents unwilling to fully come back to their office, hybrid working is now seriously considered as a long-term operating mode by so many companies worldwide. While traditional open-plan offices have long been criticized to be inhumane and not necessarily promoting efficiency, workplace design is facing the new urgency of integrating more humanity and liberation into people’s brutal daily work life struggles.

New Mode of Design Cooperation First step, architects will design enclosure typologies according to local climate and urban density level. Second, architects will also layout structural infrastructure according to site conditions. Third, the manager team from the client company will identify their organizational needs and build enclosures for those programs in order to best encourage company culture and teamwork efficiency. Fourth, individual employees are able to design furniture layouts for their own work stalls according to their personalities and habits. And of course, everyone is encouraged to contribute ideas on Step 3 and help out others for designing and building their work stalls on Step 4.

Design Attempt Under the new mode of design cooperation framework, I execute a design attempt on a proposed site in Phoenix, Arizona. The realization of the design proposal is aiming to simulate the cooperation of all the stakeholders within the framework. Both the first and second step by architects will be evaluated and scored upon their open-to-design capacity, spatial identity, climate comfort, usage efficiency, etc.. Obviously there are many other possibilities under this framework, which is open to further exploitation.

02 SHENZHEN SUNAC HEADQUARTERS Expressing multi-headquarters Identities

Professional Work at Goettsch Partners Competition Concept Design | Nov-Dec.2020 Supervisor: James Zheng, Jonathan Zee Location: Shenzhen, China Program: Office, Residential, Retail Scope: Concept Modeling, Presentation Drawing Status: Competition Winner

The proposal aims to coordinate with the ‘exhibition and tourism’ development of surrounding parcels to promote an integration of the industrial zone. Each headquarters unit is individually expressed across the architectural form as a collection of ice cubes, stepping down to the street as the building spirals from the high-rise to the villas. It cultivates an exciting place to work, interconnected with the unique network of entertainment, retail, and open spaces. It also offers inviting and intimately scaled spaces to encourage community and cultural engagement.

Dynamic Neighborhood The project site is located within a walking distance from two major subway stations and a bus terminal. The multi-layer public transportation system offers easy access for people without cars. Two major programs in this project, i.e., headquarters & SOHO living, play important roles in the master plan: The HQ parcel on the west side is part of the central office circle, and the SOHO parcels on the east and south sides aim to create an energetic community for young working class people.

Maximizing the usage of perimeter urban edge will provide more potential possibilities to the atmosphere inside the parcels. Meanwhile, a rising up skyline towards east along the main road can create a welcome gesture to the center spine of the development.

Buildings are carefully arranged to provide more connections between parcels and to the other parts of the development. A ground level circulation grid is designed to merge the landmark corner to the context.

Further breaking down the massing and differentiating building heights will optimize the view and presenting of each building, and provide varies scales of space for different functions.

The break down volume provided the variety of space for the need from different tenants, in both HQ and SOHO parcel. Function and expression of the buildings are carefully designed to meet the requirement of all the future residents.

The headquarters are expressed formally as a collection of ice cubes, stepping down to grade level while the building spirals from a highrise tower to villas. The central void becomes an urban plaza that celebrates its publicity in a dense urban environment.

I came up with an idea to improve our neighborhood...

Air quality is good for excercise today although the temperature is a bit hot...

Kid, do you know our community center was a water tower back in my time...

03 WATER TOWER'S SMART REBIRTH Creating dynamic community and healthy built environment

Personal Competition Work Concept Design | Apr-May 2021 Teammate: Bohong Qiu Location: Tangshan, China Program: Environmental Monitoring Station, Community Center, Gym

This project proposes a renovation of an abandoned water tower built in the 20th century located in a dense low-rise neighborhood in the old city of Tangshan. While preserving urban history and memory, the renovation stimulates community engagement and consciousness to improve the neighborhood’s environmental conditions, i.e. air quality, noise level, micro-climate etc.. At the same time, it aims to be a multi-functional community center that offers various facilities to help keep the community residents physically and mentally healthy. It creates dynamic and community-engaged city life, and improves the built environment and people’s living condition, by means of the latest SMART CITY technologies, leading to the city’s long-term happiness and creativity.

Tangshan has a long history of prospered heavy industry for over a century. Starting from the end of the last century, many of the old industial facilities have been abandoned and left empty during the technological and industrial transition period. While the Tangshan is currently facing the challenge of how to make use of these abandon sites in the city, we see it as a great opporunity to activate those urban areas and it is one important step to achieve the city’s dream - to create dynamic and community-engaged city life, and to improve the built environment and people’s living condition, by means of the lastest SMART CITY technologies, leading to the city’s long-term happiness and creativity.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

The air quality here hasn’t been improved for 20 years...

These industrial structures are dilapidated everywhere in the city. We should make use of them better.

This neighborhood really needs more public facilities for children. Can’t just let them play on streets...

PROPOSALS

It is a comfortable and intimate place for both us elderly and the children. Slow down, grandson..

Hi! It is time for your annual health examinations.

The environment quality has been inproved a lot since we adapted sustainable energies. There is performance in the neighborhood tonight. Lets’ go watch it.

Riding a bicycle is a good excercise and at the same time beneficial to the neighborhood environment.

I ran 10 kilometers today!

Good morning! It is lovely day, isn’t it?

Right! Air quality is good althought temperature is a bit hot...

04 ZHANGJIAGANG JINMAO TOWER Highrise complex with a Chinese traditional courtyard organization

Professional Work at Goettsch Partners Competition Concept Design | Nov-Dec.2020 Supervisor: James Zheng, Jonathan Zee Location: Zhangjiagang, China Program: Hotel, Office, Mixed Use Scope: Concept Modeling, Technical Drawing Status: Competition Winner

This project locates in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province of China. Adjacent to Suzhou and Shanghai, this area has the great heritage of traditional Chinese Garden and its associated life styles. With a relatively generous site condition, this project tries to bring back a comfortable courtyard scale and traditional landscape spatial experience into a highrise development. The 220 meters tower stands for a city landmark/icon, and of course, commercial value. Its elegant stepping form provides dramatic sky terrace amenities taking advantage of the grand riverfront view, while its garden-like podium offers humanized entry experience for office users as well as hotel guests.

Maintain axial relationship to existing context to the east and the waterfront to the west; acknowledge north-south axial relationship to the city center of Zhangjiagang and the Yangtze River.

Radially organize program around a central courtyard at the axial intersection and locate tower on the west for great visibility of the project.

河滨绿地 RIVERSIDE GREEN

基地 H-2-1 SITE 一干河 YIGAN RIVER

沙洲湖 SHAZHOUHU PARK

Zhangjiagang City is located in the eastern part of mainland China, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, connected to Changshu in the southeast, Suzhou and Wuxi in the south. It is this area that has a long tradition of South China Garden-Style houses. And the natural environment in the territory is superior, with scenic spots such as Fragrant Mountain, Jiyang Lake, Phoenix Mountain and so on. The site of this project locates in the north of the old Zhangjiagang City in an environment of mostly mid-rise development. It faces the Yigan River to the west, which flows through the central spine of the city into Yangtze River to the north. There is a tertiary canal system surrounding the site that flows into the Yigan River, and its subordinate waterfront landscape system, which are great resources to this area. Therefore, it is critical for this project to take advantage of the charming larger context and correspond to the outer landscape.

Set a buffer edge on all sides with landscaping and water features to create exclusivity and privacy.

Layer in strips of lush landscaping along perimeter of the site to increase sense of privacy and filtration.

05 SHANSHUI ART ATELIER Defining a new vernacular architectural practice

2020 Teamzo Prize Student Competition June-Sept 2020 | Individual Work Location: Lishui, China This project locates in Yantou Village, Lishui, China. Like many other villages and small cities in China nowadays, Lishui is facing the challenge of losing its young generation to the major big cities even though it has its extraordinarily beautiful shanshui environment and rich traditional culture. Therefore, in such a background this proposal aims to find a way for beautiful small cities like Lishui to explore its unique attraction of both working and living, which defines a new vernacular architectural practice by understanding and integrating local tectonic culture and natural environment. This design research explores the use of the rich vernacular natural landscape, animal and plant resources at different levels including construction material technology, work-life scenes, building maintenance and renewal, in order to provide a new way of regionalist design thinking.

SITE

Thanks to Lishui’s unique natural and cultural resources, many artists come for short-term inspiration collection every year. This proposal aims to attract these artists to work and live in Lishui. The atelier uses building materials derived from the local natural environment: rubble, pine and bamboo. Through the use of different materials, the house defines and divides space from nature with various degrees of openness on each floor. It thus provides microclimate conditions that catalyzes the perception of nature in daily activities. Due to the different durability of stone, wood and bamboo materials, various parts of the building will be replaced at different time intervals in the future. The anticipation of renewal of building materials enables the atelier to use these materials more efficiently and environmentally, and open to change for future needs. Local Material and Handcraft

06 Vertical Forest Three-dimentional gardens inspiring corporate innovation

No Architecture | Professional Work 2020 June-Aug | Competition Shortlisted Location: Shenzhen, China Director: Andrew Heid Role: Project Manager Evoking the myriad of connotations to the Chinese character ‘Fang,’ our project turns to the fundamental element of digital animation—the pixel—for its generative logic. With clarity, we translate Fantawild’s unique brand of fantasy and innovation into an architectural form that emerges from a concise series of pixelating design operations: Dispersed Cores, Excavated Gardens, Structural Exoskeleton. In concert, these three ‘pixelations’ turn the architectural question of the ‘skyscraper’ into a holistic environment that sponsors collaboration, connection, and communication alongside happiness and joy. In contrast to the homogenous spaces found in conventional office towers, we deploy the fractal order of the pixel to articulate vibrancy and vitality at every scale, and thereby imbue a threefold harmony: spiritual, ecological, and cultural. Stimulating productivity without sacrificing wellbeing, VERTICAL FOREST seeks to spatially organize a workplace that not only matches the creativity and innovation of its occupants, but also inspires them to fulfill their potential. The three gestures—Dispersed Cores, Excavated Gardens, and Structural Exoskeleton—coalesce to break down the homogenous character of the conventional office tower.

07 HEADQUATERS GOING UP! Reinventing creative vertical corporate workplace

GSAPP 2019 Summer Advanced Design Studio Instructor: Dan Wood, Maurizio Mattioli Location: New York, NY Individual Work Nowadays there are more and more needs of continuous working space strongly requested by large corporate companies, such as Apple, Amazon, Google, etc., in order to facilitate internal communication. However, such space is scarce in Manhattan because of the limitation of its 264 by 900 feet urban planning block division. Therefore this proposal attempts to achieve it vertically in a comparatively limited site plot. In order to provide a continuous large floor plate required by modern giant corporates, this project creates an open atrium space within the outer skin that connects different floors together with terraces. The open space can be easily accessed on each floor from inner office spaces, where employees are able to refresh themselves and have casual meetings with people from different floors, encouraging internal communication, cooperation and creativity. A second skin of curtain wall is added to cover the office so as to provide a more stable and controlled environment for the open space, especially during winter and harsh weather days. Trees and plants in the open atrium space create a vertical garden shared by the whole office on different floors. In this project publicity is expressed not only as a level of transparency, but also a sense of inclusiveness, in which sharing cultures such as co-working, co-living and co-studying are encouraged.

Manhattan Grid Cannot Support Giant Tech Corporates

Modern giant-tech coperates strongly require a large area of continuous working space, which colleagues. However, such space is scarce in Manhattan because of the limitation of its 264 b division. Therefore, offices in Manhattan are usually thin tall skyscrapers, in which each floor segregated from each other.

A vertical creative working space should not be just the repetition of floors with increased area. It should encourage informal communication with people working in different teams, which links people together in a giant corporate where employees spread out in a lot of departments; it should allow people to easily see each other’s work so that they can be mutually inspired; it should provide recreational space for people to relax themselves from time to time to maintain their creativity; it should provaide personal autonomy for people who need to highly concentrate on their work without distraction; it should provide an atmosphere to encourage interaction and collaboration ; and finally it should allow a more flexible living-working mode for people who prefer independent creative work.

A typical mixed-use office-residential highrise tower in Manhatttan with a rectangular floor plan is 320m high with 70 floors. It comprises 10,000m2 of office space and 6,000m2 of residential space.

Office blocks with a larger floor plate are inserted vertically into the tower, and each of them could be taken by one corporate firm. Each block functions independently and does not interfere with each other.

Stepped-floor plates connect each floor together within each office block, creating a large continuous working space. In addition, a shared platform is created for the upper living-working part of the building.

A skin of curtain wall is placed in the exterior of the building, creating a controlled climate-moderate space in between. The stepped-floor plates then become indoor greenery gardens that are multi-functional.

The south core serves the living-working residential apartments on the upper floors, while the north core serves the headquarter offices on the lower floors. Each headquarters office would occupy one block, and floors within a block connect with each other with stepped semi-outdoor terraces covered by a exterior skinof curtain wall. Leisure facilities including billiards, table tennis and drink bars are organized on the terraces.

08 FOODBELT COLLECTIVE Connecting labor, food waste and micro-climate

GSAPP 2020 Spring Advanced Design Studio Instructor: Mimi Hoang Location: New York, NY Individual Work This project investigates food waste and unhealthy food consumption problems in New York City. The proposal is a food factory that upcycles discarded food products and at the same time educates consumers about healthy sustainable eating practices through facilitating transparent relationships that connect local food producers to the Brooklyn community. The factory is a new system that synergizes the existing typologies of market and production, with a flexible modular prototype capable of expanding throughout New York City. The factory will circumvent food waste from both large scale industries, such as restaurants and grocery stores, as well as domestic households in the city. The salvageable food waste is collected and upcycled into new products as they are channeled upwards into the factory, while inedible items are composted. The factory consists of three modular systems of varying scales, each maintaining different microclimates throughout in order to accommodate the varying temperature requirements in food production. The second tier has the largest module, intended to house large scale food producers. This module accepts the majority of the food waste, and also possesses the largest ventilation chambers in order to effectively collect cold air and filter out hot air released by industrial processing machines.

Sunset Park West was one of four neighborhoods featured in an article in The New York Times about "New York's Next Hot Neighborhoods". Some in the neighborhood have expressed fears of the gentrification that could follow in the wake of recent-year developments.

09 A LOVE STORY Architectural narration through a realistic aesthetic

AECOM | Professional Work 2020 June-Aug | Commissioned Job Location: Fukuoka, Japan Director: Yimin Wang Role: Lead Designer The concept sketches are provided by the client and describe a tragic love story of a sea turtle trying to save an arrested clam. They are hypothesized to have lived in the sea for a long time and love each other, despite of being different species. But unfortunately, one day the clam was caught by a fisherman with a fishing net. At this moment, the turtle saw it and immediately gripped the net with its teeth, trying to drag the clam back into the sea and save it. The client hopes to transform this story into a brilliant hotel that never ever exists in the history. I see this project as an opportunity to challenge and question the aesthetics of modern architecture. In an era of highly technological development, technology is not used to express itself, such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, but is used to represent more primitive objects. The abstraction that these objects experiences when technology transforms them into architecture, rather than the aesthetic abstraction of design, is what I understand the symbiosis of architecture and primitive objects in the information age.

10 ASSEMBLANCE Blurring real and unreal

SCI-Arc 2017 Fall Design Studio Instructor: Casey Rehm Teammate: Sandy Liao Program: LIbrary Location: Duarte, CA This project is an attempt to absorb something more than historical or cultural context into architecture. We choose soap to be the object that we hybridize with architecture, while theoratically any ordinary object can replace it. What interests us is the possibilities that arise when the object transforms into architecture, through which we are able to extend the frontier of architectural design. In this project, first we transfer the physical soaps into virtual models by means of photogrammetry techniques. Then we are able to do massing practice with these virtual soap models in computer. In the massing model, a large cantilever is created to provide a large area of shaded space that implies the entrance of the library. We are working with active interior space which is attracted by the clean cuts with tectonic exterior performance. The cut provides a link between the textures of six different colors of soaps. And the original soap textures are transformed into parallel horizontal strips by Processing coding. The strip-oriented textures are applied onto the cuts, which strengthen the sense of the cantilever and architectural tectonic. The soap massing volumes are related by their colors and retain some interesting textures from the beginning to the end.

130

Photogrammetry Photogrammetry is a technological innovation on architecture’s design and communicative repertoire by means of Autodesk Recap. It builds the connection between real art objects and digital models, which enables further compositional morphologies studies. Textures and subtle anomal shapes of the soaps are transformed into architectural tectonic characteristics.

131

Design Development Process

Soap volumes are stacked to creat a zigzag rhythmic shape and a big cantilever that implies the entrance. And 5 different colors of soaps are used for the massing.

Two large diagonal cuts are used to provide textural links for 5 different kinds of soaps in the massing. And there are several small cuts to enrich the form.

Strip-oriented textures are applied on the cut surfaces. The parallel horizontal strips strengthen the sense of the cantilever and architectural tectonic.

The black soap massing is added back to create a more contraditory form. In addition, it structurally balances the cantilever of the massing.

The interior space design experiments organizing different scales of volumes, which blur the boundary between interior and exterior space

The final expression is the transformation of scales, textures, and volumes, which builds a connection between realistic experience and architectural abstraction.

11 MEMORY MUSEUM Bridging virtuality to physicality

2016 arch out loud Design Competition Concept Design | July-Sept 2016 Teammate: Wenjia Li Location: Cricklewood, UK Honor: Honorable Mention Prize Dr. Oliver Sacks is a famous neurologist and writer who described memory in the perspective of modern neology. To design a museum for him, this project illustrates memory through architecture and this is a practice to design architecture that symbioses with other disciplines in the information age. The proposal abstracts psychologist Dr. Oliver Sacks’ life timeline into a double spiral visiting ramp. At the bottom of the ramp there is only one direction going anti-clockwise, which symbolizes his relatively simple childhood period. In the middle, the ramp begins to ramify and goes both clockwise and anti-clockwise, which symbolizes his more complicated personal and academic life when he grew up. In addition, the distorted blocks are to simulate Oliver’s life major events. During his childhood and youth, the blocks are sparse, and they become denser and denser while his life gets more and more complicated.

In this project, eventful memories are defined by volumes of different dimensions. Going up and entering the timeline of adolescent and adult life, the blocks become denser and denser and thus collide with each other. Through such organization, the museum aims to offer people a simulation of Dr Sacks’ life by distortion, fragmentation and novelization.

12 BIRD-WATCHING CENTER Design for multi-species harmony

University of Westminster 2015 Fall Design Studio Instructor: Julian Williams Individual Work Location: London, UK This design is an attempt to pay tribute to the metabolism theory and embody the principles of ornithology with architecture. The site of this project locates in Hyde Park, London. It is an important stop and habitat for migratory birds. Every year there are millions of them passing by, foraging, drinking water and resting here, including Brent Geese, Fieldfares, Swans, Manx Shearwaters and Cuckoos. Therefore, it is also a popular spot for bird watching amateurs to observe birds. This project explores a new multi-species relationship between birds and humans, who are equal users in this building. The two systems of bird-scale space and human-scale space are combined together. This combination aims to create new possibilities for bird watching: it is no longer the traditional way that confines birds in a caged space, which is cruel. Instead, it is like part of the natural environment and totally for birds, allowing them to fly, forage, nest, rest, breed and courtship. While people are concealed in the dark, they are able to observe birds without scaring them.

SHENZHEN-HONG KONG INNOVATION HEADQUARTERS Professional Work at Goettsch Partners Competition Concept Design | Nov-Dec.2021 Supervisor: Paul De Santis, Jonathan Zee Program: Office, Residential, Retail Scope: Concept Modeling, Presentation Drawing Status: Competition Shortlisted The mixed-use development inclusive of a 300m office tower, two residential towers, and retail podium are an important addition to the Shenzhen and Technology Innovation Zone. The dynamic, curving forms expressed and infused throughout the architecture are inspired by the development goals of the zone - focused on technological innovation and incubation. The connective tissue of the district are the parks that stem from the riverfront. These are great public spaces that bind together the residential communities, the transit hub, and the technology incubators. At the epicenter of this network of green spines is the 300m tower and the mixed-use development - which serves as a bright and lively destination with exciting amenities. At the core of the site is an inviting retail mall, scaled to the needs of the neighborhood. The retail program is designed to respond to the needs of the people in the community, including restaurants, tech stores, home convenience, and education. The architecture is designed to be a great space for gathering with friends, colleagues, and family. Rising up the 300m tower, the facade is a beautiful, kinetic expression. This texture creates a dynamic glistening and lively form that distinguishes itself within the skyline. The North-south elevated Huanggang Road passes directly next to the development. As vehicles drive past, the striking silhouette that conveys movement, dynamsim, and technology is highly visible along this drive, leaving a lasting impression.

QINGDAO INTERNATIONAL HQ CAMPUS Professional Work at Goettsch Partners Competition Concept Design | Nov-Dec.2021 Master Planing & Tower Architectural Design Supervisor: James Zheng, Dan Lipetzky Location: Qingdao, China Program: Office, Retail, Leisure Scope: Concept Modeling, Presentation Drawing This project resonates the geographic feature east of Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay area, where Laoshan Mountain descends towards the sea with a seemly endless series of green steps. The tower forms step downward towards the sea from their highpoint on the east parcel. Building masses are carved in a series of green steps, in tribute to the Laoshan Mountain. These steps become valuable outdoor spaces. Headquarters buildings are grouped in “neighborhoods” clustered around private courtyards. Public green corridors connect through the site, extending the waterfront experience to neighboring parcels. The master plan organization creates a strong arrangement of public, semi-public, and private outdoor spaces on the site. All headquarters buildings have views and terraces facing the sea. They also all either have views to the public greenery, or private internal courtyards. Spaces without views or between overlapping buildings are given to cores or basement ramps.

GALAXY THEATER AECOM | Professional Work 2019 Jan-May | Commissioned Job Role: 3D Modeling & Technical Drawing Location: Shenzhen, China Director: Yimin Wang This project is a part of the GALAXY WORLD Complex, which locates in Longang, Shenzhen. This project aims to create a cultural hub and performance art center for GALAXY WORLD. The theater covers a floor area of about 15,000 square meters and has 1180 seats. Our concept was to stimulate water waves and blowing winds, while curves and surfaces can transform into each other on the facade. The control of the transformation is precise and it expresses a sense of power, movement and rhythm. I participated in this project in its construction detail design stage, and was responsible for precise model adjustments. I assisted the project architect to provide schemes of facade design, facade-panel details and interior design. I also worked with civil engineers to design facade structures.

FUZHOU COASTAL NEW CITY AECOM | Professional Work 2018 June-July | Competition 2nd Prize Role: 30%Design + 40%Drawing Location: Fuzhou, China Director: David Ma Fuzhou is located on the southeast coast of China, the Minjiang Estuary in the central and eastern part of Fujian Province, and across the sea from Taiwan Province. The State Council agreed to establish Fuzhou New District as a national new district. Fuzhou Binhai New City is located in the coastal area of Fuzhou City. It has an international airport in the north and a Panasonic port in the south. It faces the East China Sea. It has excellent location, beautiful ecological environment and solid industrial foundation. It has close exchanges and cooperation with Taiwan and has a strategic position. Fuzhou is an extraordinarily beautiful city located between mountains and the sea. And thus our design concept comes from the “river valley” surrounded by mountains. Multi-dimensional space and dynamic curves are extracted as a source of inspiration for the design. The high and low dislocations and the stretch of the landscape of the nine songs transform into a tall and straight, and the core area of the new city. In this project, I was responsible for designing a shopping mall, including both plans and elevations. I also produced drawings for the final booklet and presentation. We cooperated with urban planners, landscape designers and infrastructure engineers to deal with the complexity of the project.

YICHANG CITY LOBBY AECOM | Professional Work 2018 Mar-July | Commissioned Job Role: 30%Design + 40%Drawing Location: Yichang, China Director: Nikodijevic Jaksa This project aims to create a dynamic cultural and commercial district that not only serves as the symbolic lobby for the Yichang city, but also respects local cultures and traditions. Inside the commercial plot, the village shape of the Three Gorges Basin is simulated to create a cultural experience village of cultural facilities + themed business + boutique homestays. We combine Bachu cultural characteristics with local architectural styles and extract traditional architectural symbols as well as local building materials to form a modern Chinese architectural form with a solitary charm. At the same time, the spatial scale of the street is controlled, combined with the landscape design, to create a humanized street space that simulates traditional villages. The cultural experience block fully combines the current terrain difference to form a multi-level commercial space. The three-story building has direct external entrances and exits, ensuring the uniformity of the commercial format. The buildings are connected through corridors, stairs, and green grass slopes to form a diverse shopping experience. In this project I developed floor plans for the shopping mall, the cultural commercial village, underground parking and circulation, etc.. And I was responsible for 3D models and the final proposal booklet drawings.
