Gemeinschaft & Gesellschaft FACTORY TURNED TO YOUTH APARTMENTS OFFERING CHOICES TO VARIOUS MODES OF SHARED LIVING
Tönnies invented the terms Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft (community and society) to denote the pre- & post-industrial societies. Gemeinschaft relates to personal relations, bonding, and responsibilities, and Gesellschaft, the modern, impersonal, and the random. While Tönnies hankered for the old Gemeinschaft, we also appreciate the erratic encounters, the wide networks, and endless opportunities in the Gesellschaft. We believe people have a choice - whether to “bond” in Gemeinschaft, to “wander” in Gesellschaft, or to just be on one’s own. The factory used to have a grid structure: the column grid, and the roof made of replicated slopes. We use this grid and densify it by three times. On the third and fourth floors, we properly arranged the grid so that 60% of the rooms are for private uses, and that each private room on the 3rd floor should have a least one, preferrably two and more, doors into different activity spaces.
SITE ANALYSIS [100% Drawing]
Jagged Roof The jaggeed roof facing the south provides good lighting for the textile machines, while avoiding direct sunlight to cause rapid temperature changes in the plant. During the renovation, we newly added a skylight facing the south to ensure good lighting in the living environment.

Roof Beams Roof beams are a necessary part of supporting the roof, and are evenly distributed horizontally below each row of roofs. During the renovation, we cut the small room from the position of the roof beam to minimize its negative impact on the living space.

FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE New things always come from the old, especially when something needs to be inherited. The Gesellschaft and the Gemeinshaft, though oringinally came from Tönnies, are representing two living conditions near the factory: one is from the loosely organized immigrant villages, whose community is alienated, dangerous, but also full of opportunities. The other is from the factory living community: united, rigid, but sometimes boring. As the city being regenerated, our design aims to inherit the core spirits of these communities, and provide something more to the young generation: the possibility to choose what they want.
Drains Drain is an auxiliary structure of the jagged roof. In the original factory building, the space occupied by the drains does not affect production, but when it is transformed into a residential building, they hinders the connection of the space. Therefore, we reconstructed the drains to minimize the space occupied by it.
Column Nets The column net is the main structure supporting the plant. The original factory buildings were mostly one or two floors, with extremely high storey heights, so we added another set of small column nets to support our new structure.

The activity space corresponds to the open space on the fourth floor and is enclosed in several neighbors (because there is no corridor). The activity space may consist of 1-4 small rooms, which means different numbers of neighbors. Neighbors conduct public activities in this space to create opportunities for communication.
Gesellschaft on 3rd Floor Work, share, encounter [100% Drawing]
Teamwork Space Unlike the randomly generated neighbors on the third floor, the working space on the second floor is used by a group of people who are determined to work together when they move in, which directly determines the arrangement of the personal rooms of this group. It is worth noting that colleagues who work together on the second floor do not necessarily share the same public space on the third floor (and vice versa), which provides different kinds of interpersonal relationships.

Riverside Living Belt: opening & mixing REGENERATION OF THE RIVERSIDE SPACE FOR BREAKING CLASS SEGREGATION AND ISOLATION FROM NATURE
For a long time in China, the attitude of modern cities towards urban villages has been so rude: they besieged first, soon everything is demolished, and then come the new buildings, new blocks, and new living logic. This has also led to class segreation between urban residents and villagers. This project selects a typical place where the village and the city intervene: a narrow strip by the river bank. The construction here after 2010 has not only brought isolated classes, but also destroyed nature that is almost isolated from people. The purpose of this project is to find out another way to build this area, aiming to create opportunities for people of different classes to interact and restore the connection between man and nature through critical conservation and construction.

OPEN CITY INITIATIVE We perceive the city as a network of all sorts of human settlements: a home that we all share. The future, on the other hand, is synonym for ideals: whether it be the christian salvation, the Communist emancipation, or the modernist’s positive objectives. Thus, the cities of the future are the ideals of the shared home. What can city planners to do? By manipulating physical space, we adjust relations beyond physical spheres. And we believe that good relations are always open and connected, whether between humans and humans, humans and nature, or humans and time. Thus is the OPEN CITY INITIATIVE.

Its location at the northern end ensures that the flow of people in the office area will not affect the life of the southern blocks. At the same time, the northernmost square serves as the entrance to the entire site and can be used to organize large-scale events.

“Axial Foshan” URBAN TRANSIT MODE RESEARCH AND DESIGN PROJECT
Nowadays, the city Foshan urban modernization process hugely impacts citizens health for less exercise field is available for them to do so. Considering about this, I hope to provide the citizens with a ground to exercise with the limitation of boundary. The design site locates in the high-density residential zone between old industrial renewal zone and newly-development downtown where extraordinarily little public space exist. The site is separated with 3 blocks, one is Han Kow prison which will be removed, one is migrant workers’ gathering zone which is planned to be set with CBD and the last one is an abandoned factory. The site is located in the center of the connection zone of economic development zone and old industrial renewal zone . historical spot commercial area high-density resident river railway station
SITE ANALYSIS [50% Drawing]
In the urban design of Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China, I try to reconnect the fragmentary and broken public activity space due to the rapid urban development. So the hinge point of urban axis appears in the site, which will connect the city including historical landscape, new handicraft production, and high-density residential area with traffic space as the core. After the connection is completed, the area will provide the vitality of urban renewal for this ancient historical block. Using the new space sequence composed of these elements, I try to expose different layers of Foshan to tourists as well as providing higher quality life for local residents. In the urban scale, this reconfiguration is not a surrender of the existing environment, but an attempt to create dynamic and effective social activities.

13 Public Square
The first axis connects the city's largest green park and several of the most important historical and cultural heritage reserves. This axis connecting the main landscape will also provide a new development mode for the city's tourism industry: integrated cultural experience travel service. The second urban axis is a response to Foshan's once thriving handicraft industry and industrial park. This axis connects the railway lines and the largest docks used for military transport during the war. The direct connection with Fenjiang River provides convenient traffic conditions, favorable conditions for the revival of Foshan's manufacturing industry, and is open to the public in the form of industrial parks. The third axis responds to the upcoming new metro line. The line will become a new traffic main line after opening. This axis connects the two subway stations across the site, and a highrise commercial residential office integration community is established in the middle. The new green space system also provides public activity space for the surrounding low-density communities. The division of block and diversity in function and operation mode allow different developers share the block,or a staging and separation in the devel- opment process.

Cheese House + CREATIVE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN WITH SPACIAL STREAMLINE WHICH IS OF BROAD ADAPTABILITY AND EASINESS TO FIT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
I always believe that the design of a building should serve its function. In this case, behind the innovative residential structure is a new exploration of the relative spatial relationships in individual residences. Through a cheese-like spatial cutting method, a smoother spatial organization, a more beautiful engineering structure and a better user experience than traditional houses are realized.

GENERAL INFORMATION Total area of the Base: 567m2 Construction Area: 224m2 Greening Rate: 27%
BASIC FORM CODE [100% Drawing]
Starting from the external form of the entrance, the space that passes through the upper and lower sides is used to attract people and form centripetal force. Then enter the sphere as a traffic stream, and form a complete streamline from the entrance to the functional area. Finally, the relationship between the sphere and the segmented wall is processed, and some of them directly intersect and partially open to creat different spatial changes. Get a rich space experience.

MAIN STREAMLINE
The first floor space is connected by the three-way door that meets the T-junction. There is a private garden and a framing garden. At the same time, the interior is brought to the interior. After the internal streamline is determined, the vertical direction divides the grid and arranges functions. Since the exterior wall is a grille, the walls in the room are not closed.

The indoor spherical traffic and the outer casing are echoed by the window opening formmed by the Boolean subtraction method, and two large and high passage spaces are arranged according to the traffic distribution, so that the layers are separated from each other and connected with each other, thereby enhancing the sense of belonging of the home.
BACKGROUNDS
Emergence of megacities, job-housing separation, & commuting.
Other Work
-Transitioning socio-economy, growing commuting burdens (52 min in Beijing, 2012). -Modal share: Who takes the taxi? -What determines commuting? Outskirt large communities…
Transport accessibility inequalities.
-Heavy commuting burdens on typical public-housing communities. -Does public transport make it more equal?
THESIS: Investigating urban residents’ commuting patterns and transport accessibility inequality using online car-hailing positioning data: A CASE of CHENGDU Commuting constitutes an integral part of daily traffic in metropolises, especially those with high degrees of job-housing separation, and while devices with positioning functions gain prevalence, their by-product, large-scale positioning data, helps researchers understand urban traffic in unprecedented comprehensiveness. This paper attempts to understand urban residents’ commuting patterns in Chengdu, as well as factors that influence them, using online car-hailing positioning data. In particular, by examining the differences in commuting patterns between public housing communities and ordinary communities, we can inspect transport accessibility issues. Our results confirm Chengdu as highly single-centered city, with occupations much more centralized than residential areas, which has contributed to heavy commuting burdens to residents living in outlying areas of Chengdu, especially residents living in public housing that are typically far from the city center. We find that travel distance and substitutability with public transport are two significant factors that exert negative influence the usage rates of online car-hailing in commuting. Moreover, we have found that public-housing commuters do not display significant differences in the distance, distribution of destinations or usage rates of online car-hailing, while avoiding online car-hailing as their travel mode, implicating that they are faced with greater commuting burdens and fewer commuting options.

Major contributions & findings. -Methodology: the integration of demographic/geographic data concerning commuters. -Online car-hailing commuting trips: 3-km, 15-min typical trips. -High centrality of employment over residences in Chengdu. -Trip duration and substitutability at home end are two major factors of online car-hailing usage. -Public-housing residents live at outskirts, don’t differ in commuting features, while avoid online car-hailing usage – greater commuting burdens and fewer commuting options. Flaws of this study & further discussion. -Too few travel modes under fine inspection. -Too few public-housing xiaoqus under fine inspection. -A series of assumptions taken in the data mining process. -The inner flaws of big-data-based research.
