PERSONAL STATEMENT

Along with the growth my age, I began to focus on the integration of buildings with the surrounding environment. loved the feeling when I got enlightened after making a harmonious layout of the architecture and its surroundings. Since then, have dreamed of being a top landscape designer or architect to make our world a better place to live.

With the advancement of technology and the improvement of tools, human areas began to detach from nature and gradually become independent, either by using technology to reduce the negative impact of technology on the environment or by changing their lifestyles to the original state of dependence on nature. With this in mind, studied the natural geological processes to develop architectural interventions influenced by the natural evolution of the landscape accordingly. The topographic features of each site were analysed to obtain a set of biological attributes that contribute to meaningful architectural interventions. The ultimate goal of my research is to adapt it to the natural form of the six terrains by improving the architectural structure rather than changing or eliminating the natural environment.

The programme Landscape Architecture MLA provided by the University of Edinburgh will develop my ability in understanding a range of environments and landscapes at different scales and cultivate a critical understanding of landscape architectural practice. Additionally, I long to join the University of Edinburgh and explore the possibilities of architecture with knowledgeable professors and passionate classmates. Upon finishing postgraduate study at your university, expect to enter Meta or Zaha, working as an architectural designer and bringing convenience to humans by deeply integrating virtual platforms with actual building spaces.

Adaptive settlement evolved from the natural landscape

Individual Work (Academic)

Location: Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China

Project Type: Geological Architecture Evolution Simulation

Architecture Design: Personal Experimental Research (2022 Winter)

Project Duration: 8 Weeks

During the metabolism of the earth, various organisms have been subjected to individual environments, while man has erected man-made buildings independent of nature in response to different natural environments, and from the Stone Age until modern times the link between architecture and nature has gradually disintegrated.

While orthogonal buildings show a response to their environment in urban settings, they often struggle to respond fully to the more fluid environment of rural settings. Traditional 'right-angle' landscape interventions tend to ignore the natural forms of the flowing landscape and return to the orthogonal grid. But parametric design may not be the best answer to this problem, as traditional approaches to parametric architecture often fail to engage meaningfully with fluid landscapes, appearing more decorative than responsive. This study argues that by responding fundamentally to fluid environmental conditions, fluid building design will be able to integrate more meaningfully into the natural environment.

The objective of this project is to study the topographical processes of natural sites with the aim of developing architectural interventions that are influenced by and respond to natural evolution. This is achieved by analysing the natural features of the karst landscape (cave spaces) in order to obtain a range of natural attributes that may contribute to meaningful architectural interventions. The ultimate goal is to achieve a built form that responds to the natural environment, where the built form should enhance rather than eliminate the environment.

The third type of landscape is space that is free from human involvement and dominated by natural evolution

By extracting the morphological prototypes of the geographical elements of the natural environment, an organic earth architecture space is constructed, translating the morphological features into parameters, combining them with human perceptions and habits, and presenting them digitally, moving closer to humans from nature, rather than closer to nature from humans perhaps the true ecological space.

In "Utopia", it is said that there is an underground cave in which a group of people are imprisoned. The only way for them to communicate with the outside world is the projection of the outside world on the cave wall, that is, the "hole" is the source of people's cognition.

But art can be a way of reusing these unused areas. In this work, he explores the understanding of decay and renewal, chaos and order, using the forms of 'no site' and earth art to give new life to land and water in the form of art.

Gilles Clément uses the term 'third landscapes' to denote spaces that have been dominated by natural evolution without human involvement. This category includes nature reserves, mountains and other spaces that remain untouched in their natural state.

The man-made building materials used to create the structures are in fact completely independent of the natural environment, and although the form is similar to the natural landscape, this process of 'ecological design' is objectively irreversible so I want to explore ecological space from the initial natural development of the constituent spaces, and to explore the conditions for the coexistence of all living things.

Karst landforms are mainly internal channels formed by external erosion of soluble rocks, and external rugged surface topographic forms.

The specific environmental and external forces that act on the interior and exterior of the landscape have created various types of spatial formations, and the investigation and analysis of their specific geomorphology can explore their potential for biological habitation and environmental variability.

KARST CAVE DEVELOPMENT AND THE TIMING OF EROSION

of pipe that must be of sufficient diameter to produce turbulent groundwater

in which case Darcy's Law does not apply. Howard suggests that the minimum pipe cross-section diameter to produce turbulent flow is 5 to 16mm at various hydraulic gradients, while Waltham suggests a general channel diameter of 2 to 20cm. Ford states that fissures or pores in limestone less than 10µm in diameter cannot develop into caves; fissures between 10µm and 5-15µm in diameter can only develop primary caves; and only fissures greater than 5-15mm in width can gradually develop into karst caves.

Xishuangbanna is the best preserved tropical ecosystem in China and, due to the specificity of its geological environment and monsoon climate, karst landscapes are more widely distributed.

Based on a study of the variability of building materials, limestone, the main material of karst mountains, was chosen as the main material for the geological building. By investigating the morphology of karst landscapes that can constitute hollow accessible spaces, 12 main spatial prototypes were selected (see previous page) and the morphological characteristic values of the 3D parameters were scaled up to simulate the initial depositional forms.

The main material in the

phase of the karst landscape is limestone, a rock formed when calcium carbonate, deposited in the lake and sea, is compacted and cemented together after losing water.

The petrographic planar evolution of carbonate rocks follows the basic rule of discrete elements: the petrographic phase at the current time step of a grid is determined by the petrographic state of that grid and the grids within its neighbourhood at the previous time step.

Selection was made based on a comparison of the growth status of four green plants on carbonate rock.

We obtained three optimal sedimentation models and optimal greenery selection from the sedimentation simulation experiments in the first step of the experiment. In the second step replaced the erosion variables in the erosion algorithm with the spatial requirements of organisms to evolve a prototype cave space suitable for living organisms in a natural growth state.

The evolution of external erosion of sedimentary rock masses follows the basic theory of dissipative structures: chaotic systems achieve a transformation from disorder to order, forming a non-linear equilibrium structure in time, space or function.

The rock erosion process is also a non-linear process and can be described by the following equation.

SECTIONAL VIEW

This profile shows the living conditions of people living in co-habitation with other creatures and the internal spaces of the building formed by the influence of natural factors.

The hollow interior patio space at the top of the hill is a departure from the traditional horizontal and vertical structure, as the hill space is organically shaped to enclose the building space. The natural openings allow birds to fly into the interior and roost with humans.

The natural openings ensure that the space is naturally lit and ventilated. The stone surfaces are covered with moss and other greenery to purify the air. The entire mechanical system is integrated in a series of cast spaces that follow the topography of the cave.

The stacked cliffs on the outside of the building make it possible for animals to climb, for example. A natural 'mode of transport' is perhaps more appropriate for humans to maintain an equal relationship with animals, which not only keeps things interesting, but also maintains the natural environment in its original form.

The water-soluble caves at the base of the building, submerged in water, also incorporate aquatic life inside the building. The fluid inorganic matter - water - revitalises the static mountain architecture. Animals from outside can also follow the waterway to find the building and take up residence.

Urban space simulation experiment with library as type

Individual Work (Academic)

Location: Baiziwan, Chaoyang District, Beijing

Instructor: Shao.P (shaopengz1@outlook.com)

Architecture Design: Personal Experimental Research (2021 Winter)

Project Duration: 6 Weeks

Beijing is the political and cultural center of China, and its urban spatial pattern is roughly distributed in a grid with Tiananmen as the central axis. I use this example as a prototype to explore the inner and outer relationship between the city and the architectural scale.

In order to accommodate the mixed cultures and spatial fragments of the city, the building must have a large volume, which is the most characteristic feature of the 'miniature city'. A building with the property of being 'big' is no longer just a building for one function; the multiplicity of architectural functions requires a building to take on the functions of a city. A building can accommodate all aspects of a city, including living, working, recreation and transportation. Rather than being a passive part of a city, architecture can even become a city in its own right and influence the surrounding urban environment. Such a building becomes the strongest building because it contains a wealth of functions comparable to those of a city; it also becomes the weakest building because it contains so much that it cannot be defined by a clear function, and because the various internal functions are relatively independent and zoned and the building proper loses its overarching character and is simply placed together.

Before the popularization of computers, books have always played the role of the main communication medium in human life. Traditional libraries are generally dominated by reading space and traffic flow lines, while modern communication media are dominated by multimedia and the Internet. In this project, I try to evolve from a city to a building in a spatial scale, extract people's inner perception and actions in the two, combine traditional and modern media, and based on this, divide them into dynamic zone (social crowd), quiet zone (resting crowd) and transitional zone (shared space), creating a miniature city model with a unified experience of city and architecture.

Human Activity Space Type

The development pattern of modern cities (here refers to the urban area of Beijing) is tending to develop in a functional and complex direction. After investigation, it is found that several basic prototypes can be extracted from several functional spaces of the whole city, namely commercial space, education space space, living space and public square space (taken from "External Space Design" by Yoshinobu Awara), and the selection of the library is the function of storing human knowledge and culture, and solving the problem of space use on the architectural scale

The prototype of the commercial space is roughly open to the outside world with all the surrounding spaces, and is closely connected with the external space through transparent media such as glass windows. Customers can visually identify the functions inside the space from the outside of the commercial space.

Most of the educational space is dominated by schools, tutoring institutions, etc., and most of the main entrances are small, which makes the students' impression of the educational space symbolized. The enclosed wall space limits the course activities of teachers and students within the educational space.

Most of the living spaces are residential buildings, with a modular distribution in shape and pattern. Most of the interior spaces are similar. Most of the community spaces are equipped with public facilities to provide public social spaces.

Urban Development Issues

Most of the squares are enclosed spaces, where all unofficial things are concentrated. In a world full of official order and official ideology, it seems to enjoy the power of "extraterritorial law", which is always owned by the "common people".

The

commercial building type education building type residential building type square space type Person-To-Commodity Transaction Creative Commons Space Residential And Social Spaces Open Social Space

Library Operating Mechanism

The library operates not in the narrow sense of a library, but rather as a space for knowledge sharing and storage incorporated within the building, with a central library management system at the core and branch systems for book storage and lending linked together through a logistics system. The space is integrated with the various functional archetypes of the city: housing, entertainment, etc., so that the small scale building maps the large scale city.

Media And Spatial Evolution

The medium of knowledge storage and dissemination is constantly evolving and developing, with static and dynamic knowledge being placed in different types of buildings. Due to the fast-paced development patterns of today's times, the cost of time and space becomes important and the integration of function and space is urgent.

The library is defined here as a building that does not focus solely on paper books, but rather as a repository of information where all valid forms of media - "new and old" - are presented equally and clearly. In an age of information sharing, the creation of new forms of media and the management of their content will make libraries vital.

Oma Timeline And Chinese City

In my observations of the distribution pattern and some of the functional buildings in the urban areas of Beijing, I found some underlying common patterns. I then relate and sort out the spatial archetypes of Beijing's urban evolution with Koolhaas' idea of 'architecture = city'. Architecture takes in the crowded and diverse content of the city's disintegration, but also embraces the city's identity.

Giving Encounters a Chance

New ways of breaking down the spatial and temporal barriers between people in the post-epidemic era

Individual Work

Location: Concept project (no site)

Instructor: Shao.P (shaopengz1@outlook.com)

Architecture Design: Personal Experimental Research (2022 Spring)

Project Duration: 8 Weeks

The outbreak of the New Crown epidemic. In order to prevent close contact between infected and non-infected people, people had to stay in their homes and were isolated by the facade of the building. The original functional property of the house, 'hiding', came into play in the face of uncontrollable natural environmental factors.

In terms of lifestyle, for modern people, living, working, studying and communicating have become the norm, and the online social function of the Internet comes into play. The internet has broken down time and space barriers and brought people closer together in physical space, creating the so-called global village

The emergence of platforms such as friends, twitter and so on, has made people busy with virtual communication on the internet, while neglecting face-to-face communication offline. The current housing architecture is too restrictive for people's freedom, with a few boxes, a few partitions and a lack of space for everyone to connect offline is the main reason that prevents people from communicating offline.

Historical Evolution Of Occupational Groups（changes in living conditions）

I researched the living conditions of the main occupational groups in society in different times and found possible intersections between them, which served as a key to the design of the house.

Changes In The Way Of Interacting (before and after the epidemic)

In the internet age, there has been a subtle shift in the social image people play in different types of scenarios before and after the epidemic, moving from offline to online interactions.

The Evolution Of The Residential Space Prototype

The evolution of the isolated dwelling unit to the linked dwelling.

The Transition From Isolation To An Intermingled State

The prototype for most collective housing under the COVID-19 era was the square box building where people were separated by horizontal and vertical floor plates and partition walls, so people were forced to stay at home to network and socialise.

The design overlaps the living and social spaces of the individual houses horizontally and vertically. In contrast to the previous square grid layout of the residences, the residences are enclosed along a route and bite into the dwelling spaces.

Prototype Spatial Mechanism For Creating Encounters

New ways of socialising and living are being constructed in accordance with modern living conditions, and interactive spaces are evolving accordingly.

In the residential proposal, I wanted to integrate people from different professions and walks of life into a living space where offline communication is more convenient.

In this residential area, guests from outside can enter the public space without barriers and interact with the residents.

Privacy and sociability are both important to people today. In dealing with both, I have made it more natural to integrate them. Creating an opportunity for people to meet each other in the internet age is also a poetic experience.

Re-Cliff Suburb Plan

Spatial renewal design solves brand and land use problems in poor villages

Group Work (Design, drawing and modelling)

Location: Atulier Village, Sichuan Province

Instructor: Shao.P (shaopengz1@outlook.com)

Architecture Design: Personal Experimental Research (2022 Spring)

Project Duration: 7 Weeks

" Cliff Village " is called "Atulier Village". It is located in Zhiermo Township, Zhaojue County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is located in a mountain depression at an altitude of 1400-1600 meters. . When the villagers go to the outside world, they need to climb a cliff with a drop of 800 meters and go over a 13-level 218-step rattan (steel) ladder Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture is a "straight through area" from slave society to socialist society.

Cliff Village has less contact with the outside world and is less attractive to tourists. The production method of the original village is self-sufficient, and the building space is simple and unattractive. The government allocated an investment in 2016 to build the village.

The design combines the characteristics of the Yi nationality with the complex living space, and adopts the basic design method of modular corridor space, space combining living and breeding, and processing and interactive space to improve the economic vitality of local production and tourism.

Policy and Design Strategies

Site information and design key

Atulier Village is inconvenient to communicate with the surrounding villages, and the tourism industry is relatively poor and less attractive. It needs to activate the living space of residents and the space for tourists to visit. The local area is an autonomous region of ethnic minorities with strong ethnic culture.

Modular frame space integration

Site gridding, activity space discretization

We selected local wood as the design material, and built a wooden frame outside the building, so that people can use the space according to their needs. The site space is gridded, the buildings with different functions are integrated through the frame, and the horizontal and vertical traffic are also accommodated, dispersing human activities in different spatial positions outside the building.

Flow space closed loop

Retain the original traffic and integrate it into a closed loop

The original traffic flow line of the village was arranged according to the terrain. When planning the flow line design, the traffic habits of local villagers were retained, and various functional spaces were placed on both sides of the closed loop of the flow line, and the activities of tourists and villagers were integrated into the flow space.

Complex functional space

Combination of planting, breeding, processing and living

The communication between Cliff Village and the outside world is limited by traffic conditions. Most products can only be produced and sold by themselves, and the building functions are relatively simple. In the design, composite functions are placed into a single building to enhance the functional vitality, making traditional homestays into composite residences.

Aerial View Of Design Transformation

With the conversion of the entrance to the cliff village from a rattan ladder to a steel ladder, access is more efficient and convenient. As most of the agricultural products in the village are selfsufficient, I have incorporated the local Yi culture into the design of the accommodation, combining it with special activities such as farming to provide a variety of experiences for visitors. The layout of the village follows the topography of the highlands with a closed commercial street loop in the middle linking the various areas together, providing favourable conditions for traffic and commerce in the village. The village operates through several main modules: cultivation, experience, accommodation, processing, storage and logistics.

"Between the Mountains" focuses more on the intention, reÞning the brushstrokes of architectural design from Chinese painting, just like ink landscape painting, not looking for resemblance but for the charm and mood, and respecting the integration with nature. It also combines the ideas of Chinese landscape poetry, landscape painting and classical gardens.
