Achieving De-urbanization by Hybrid Space Architecture is not just a machine that represents efficiency, it should contain something more than it appears to be, something that goes beyond its basic functions. Today’s buildings are supposed to be multivocal and ambiguous enough to respond to their surrounding context.

__Bamboo Unit Focusing on Fabrication and Transformation HYBRID SPACE AT THE HUMAN SCALE
The rapid urbanization in China enhances people’s lives in some aspects and brings a greater efficiency to the society, but it also destroys the natural ecosystem and previous city structure. The construction of many so calls “functionalism” buildings in the city results in societal isolation and creates boundaries between among groups of people, which significantly reduces the diversity of urban spaces. Consequently, how to design hybrid space that could reverse the urbanization trend to some extent became my greatest interest during five years of study in the university.

HYBRID SPACE IN A SINGLE PROGRAM
WATER SYSTEM __Primary Shcool Focusing on Rainwater Collection and Reuse
Children, a certain group with immature mentality, use their curiosity and imagination to grow and learn about the world. However, traditional primary school in China is convenience-oriented for management, and has limited diversified space for children's development. To children, the school is more or less like a prison that prevents them from exploring their surroundings. In this project, based upon the local climate contidions, I enlarged the typical traffic corridor of the primary school, and introduced a water recycling and treatment system into it. Apart from responding to the climate problem, the corridor becomes a mixed space for both educational activities and water processing exhibition activities to happen. Children's personalities and their spontaneous activities are encouraged in the hybrid space.

PROBLEM SOLVING The site is located at Shuangjiang Town where there is little precipitation in certain months. Farmers have to drill water in their greenhouses, and children have to get water delivered by trucks. I conceived the project as a water collection and treatment device to collect and store most rainwater in rainy months for later use. And the hybrid space was then created by it.
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ANNUAL PRECIPITATION
SITE BACKGROUND The problem of uneven seasonal precipitation

ARCHETYPE OF HYBRID SPACE The archetype of hybrid space in the school is an enlarge main traffic corridor that connects different classrooms on its both side. This space consists of a water collection and treatment system which serves as a water processing exhibition to allow various enducational activities to take place. UV Disinfection Water Curtain
In instead of trying to design a traditional primary school that only achieves the goal of educating children with discipline and rules, by combining typical educational space with water exhibition space, this school aims to encourage them to use their curiosity exploring uncertainties and challenges in the environment.

THE EXTENTION OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES INTO WATER SYSTEM Different kinds of educational activities could happen in different processes of the water treatment and each process is related to one or two certain educational activities because the processes could offer the resources that those activities need. For example, rain garden provides children with plants they need to paint or observe in an art class or a botany class.
Labor course in water saving process
Dance course in UV disinfection process
This is a lager rain garden outsite the corridor, children could be able to participate in various activities such as making paintings and observation for the beautiful aquatic plants, playing and resting. At the end the path, there is the water curtain area where children are dancing.

HYBRID SPACE IN MULTIPLE PROGRAMS
SYMBIOTIC INDUSTRY __City Complex Focusing on the Combination of Agriculture and Service Industries
In China, dual economic structure is the fundamental cause for the increasing gap between urban and rural areas, the nation is focusing on developing industrialization and speeding up urbanization at the expense of agriculture and villages. The urban fringe is in face of industry transformation. Many farmhouses have been replaced by so-call modern buildings which are out of context. Farmers' memory of the land and their lifestyles are lost. In this project, characteristic industries of villages around the site are transformed into agricultural production and scientific research base, tofu open processing workshop, leisure agriculture garden with vegetables and trees. Those programs all together interact with hotel programs to achieve a balance through the exchange for resources. And the relationship among different groups of people around the site is re-defined in this hybrid building.

SYMBIOSIS RELATIONSHIP THEORY
Vegetable Industry Pollution-free vegetables was a popular and energetic industry in Wangyu Village in the last decades, but it begins to fail recently because of the urbanization.
The symbiosis theory is derived from the field of biology, which describes different species could live together through some certain substance. Just as the diagram showed below, the cattle and birds are connected through worms, and cattle and sheep live together by eating grasses. Mr. Kisho Kurokawa develops this idea in the filed of architecture.
RESEARCH
SITE BACKGROUND The site of the project is located at the periphery of the Hefei, due to the urbanization, many villages around the site have been demolished, and farmers are forced to take residential relocation. Their industries and lifestyle have changed. In addition, the resources within the area haven't been well distributed and utilized. In other words, the industries do not use each other's products. Those products are mainly delivered to far places, which increases the cost of transportation. Thus, the area does not achieve the self-sufficiency of resources.

SYMBIOSIS MODE
Since the agriculture industry and the service industry have their own independence and difference, not all parts of them cloud be mixed. Thus, the mixing degree between the agriculture industry and the service industry in the project should depend on the space publicity degree of programs in either one industry. The higher the publicity degree is, the higher the mixing degree is. I firstly concentrated on accomplishing the setting of different programs in the hotel according to general requirements for hotel design, and then analysed the publicity of different programs according to the PSI model. Based on the results and the characteristics of different programs in the agriculture industry, I came up with four types of hybrid space for later design.

THE FORMING PROCESS OF HYBRID SPACE After getting data on the space publicity degree of programs on each floor in the hotel, I divided the mass of agriculture industry into four parts to be four types of hybrid space. Then I added up the data within each part respectively to form four values of X. Instead, I figured out four values of K according to the positively related relationship between X and K. Finally, with four different K values, I explored various possible mix and organization modes for each hybrid space and selected four types for later plan design.

The vegetable production area could be the leisure interior garden for hotel guests to visit. In return, brand awareness could be promoted.
The greenhouse mainly makes soybean products, and visitors could participate in the production process with agricultural workers so that they can learn about agricultural culture.
The tofu processing exhibition area creates opportunities visitors to enjoy the processing process. Also, locals can increase their local identity in this space.
Around the commercial atrium, there are stores that selling tofu and vegetable products that traditional commercial center could not offer, which makes the commerce here gain a competitive edge.

HYBRID SPACE AT THE URBAN SCALE
UPLIFTING STREET __Community Library Focusing on the Incorporation of Urban Street
Street space is an important part of urban development and it should allow people to enjoy the culture and history of a city. Nevertheless, under the rapid urbanization, cities in China nearly become what Ludwig Hilberseimer said "Vertical City". And rapid transit system replaces mixeduse streets and provides people with only one purpose of traffic, largely decreasing the diversity of urban spaces. This is a project in which I tried to incorporate mixed-use streets on the urban scale into the roof of a community library and set various programs along those streets to serve multiple functions like walking, jogging, resting, viewing, reading, market, open lectures and so on. The building itself, in some way, is a landscape infrastructure that encourages different activities to take place and connects different parts around the site in a harmonious way.

CONCEPT
STEPS OF FORMATION
In order to respond to the current site situation, the design is conceived as a landscape infrastructure to create a micro-city block scene. The organizational mode between a mixed-use street and programs on its sides is imitated and transformed into an architectural scale project. Unlike a rectangular building, the building has a slope that can be crossed over and that uplifts the street, which brings a different experience to community residents. Site

The Huaihe Road pedestrian mall in the central of the city is famous for its mid-range market that provides retailing and restaurant services. A po ssi bl e c i r c ul a t i o n f r o m site to this area should be concerned.
The Xiaoyao Jing park is the most renowned resort in the city, and the Shouchun bridge has a long history. How to interact with both of them should be considered in the design.
The site is at the corner of Shengli Road. Thus, the design should leave a suitable area open to allow drivers to see road conditions well, and provide space for crowd gathering.
The residential buildings in the community are mostly 12 stories high and the community has a high plot ratio of 2.2. Thus, an open public area should be created to increase comfort degree.
This is a another neighborhood with high plot ratio. The project will be passed when people go to the commercial area from the community. Thus, the project should be more than just a community library.

THE STREET SYSTEM ON SLOPE ROOF The roof has two different types of circulation. The walking circulation is circuitous and zigzag while the running circulation is straight. And the programs up and down the slope surface provides places for people to stop, rest and participate in various activities. The slope gradient and the scenes are constantly changing when people walk or running on the roof.

NEW READING EXPERIENCE This is the section of one part of the library, and you can see reading here is not a private activity and a sedentary lifestyle. People could easily get access to diversified public activities and when they feel tired reading, they could take some exercise on the roof, and see the beautiful scenery.

MORE THAN A LIBRARY In this project, I wanted to create an image that architecture is also a landscape infrastructure in the urban environment. It offers more possibilities for spontaneous activities, and enables people to enjoy the life between walking and stopping.

HYBRID SPACE AT THE HUMAN SCALE
COMBINABLE MODULE __Bamboo Unit Focusing on Fabrication and Transformation
Nowadays, modernism architectural design pattern with function first in China limits the building flexibility to some extent. For example, though ramp garage is economical and easy to build, people find it hard to use it for other functions when there are fewer cars needed to be parked. So this is a waste of resources. A building with high level of adaptability must be neutral enough to respond to its surroundings. In this project, a standard bamboo structure module was designed to expand from different directions according to the site and programs. And most work was done focusing the hybrid space on the human scalefabricating a singe bamboo unit to accommodate different activities of one or two people.

Inhaul cable Roof layers Purlin DESIGN CONCEPT Bamboo beams Bamboo is available everywhere in Yunnan, and has the advantages of low cost, easy to be constructed and transported. And it could also shade the sunlight. Therefore, I chose it as the main material for building a shading device for the family. It would become the family's relaxing place. Viewing Resting
As the structure is flexible and could be grouped to lager scale space, diversity of activities could be increased. It can be a tea house, a gallery or even a studio or residence.

FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION The biggest challenge in the process was to bent the bamboo to a certain shape. In order to do this, we had to heat the bamboo evenly for a very long time, and then bend it. It was a very laborious and time-consuming task and it was pretty possible to broke it during the bending process for some uncertainties. We tried many times even to make a desirable one.

HYBRID SPACE IN MULTIPLE PROGRAMS
E-WASTE SYSTEM __Public Infrastructure Focusing on E-waste Collection and Reuse
This studio explored the architectural and infrastructural possibilities that emerge from the close examination of intersecting systems of waste and energy, and also explored an expanded idea of ecology that encompasses not just the natural environment but also recognizes the entanglements of human-made products and byproducts within its definition. In the context of global warming and the Anthropocene, the studio posits ecology as a circular system of inputs and outputs. We will examine major E-waste streams and open vs. closed loops to reenvision and exploit existing and potential systems. Roosevelt Island provides a unique urban configuration to explore opportunities for the island’s self-reliance through augmentations of and additions to its systems. Rather than relying on externalization of unwanted outputs and waste, it might be possible to capture, redirect, and recover energy and material excesses towards a new integration of infrastructure and cultural life. This project was trying to explore and create the programmatic possibilities of the existing E-waste collecting and recycling system and make this industrial process become a human interactive experience. Mixed-used, exhibition, and second-hand market were made to combine with the system.

THE ANALYSIS OF E-WASTE SYSTEM The rate of global e-waste generation is increasing over time, and most of the e-waste of United States was transported to Asian countries like China. The collection and treatment of e-waste create a closed loop in which there are plenty of possibilities to make architectural spatial The global quantity of e-waste generation in 2016 was around 44.7 million metric tonnes (Mt), engagement for the public. or 6.1 kg per inhabitant. It is estimated that in 2017, the world e-waste generation will exceed 46 Mt. The amount of e-waste is expected to grow to 52.2 Mt in 2021, with an annual growth rate of 3 to 4%.

FROM SECTIONS TO SYSTEM During this phase, two founded precedents were put on table to develop a deeper understanding of architectural sections and improve "sectional" design ability and spatial thinking in multiple directions to produce distinctive forms, spatial experience and astmosphere. A series of boolean forms of the two sections were made to study the potential of intersections. Finally, the previous established system was incorporate into this new type of element.

THE INTERSECTION OF E-WASTE WORKING LINE AND SOCIAL LIFE The project was a result of two directional tube intersection. The main continuous tubes with setbacks were made as the industrial treatment and reuse process of E-waste. And other distributed tubes perpendicular to the main tubes were places for people's social interaction. Since those activities were all related, some space that meets with each other become mix-used space.

HYBRID SPACE AT THE LANDSCAPE SCALE
FLOATING BELT __Lodge focusing on Vast Landscape Intervention
The western coast of Greenland constitutes unique and varied landscapes with extreme and rapidly changing climatic conditions.Also, the relationship between the delicate physicality of a building and the vastness of the landscape offers the potential of working within an immense range of scales. Spatially, through architectural interventions linking the large scale of the natural elements to that of the body. Temporally, in conjunction with the climatic conditions shifting from moment to moment, season to season and on an evolutional scale of anticipated increasing climate change, the studio aims to develop a site-specific understanding of architecture as a response to present and future challenges, and deisgn a series of small scale lodges based upon the context. In this project, I worked in close observation of and attention toward all the conditions surrounding, especially sunlight resources, topography and availuable vernacular building materials, the stones. Started with the idea of using the stone wall as the thermal mass for passive heating strateges for the interior space, this project then aimed to provide people with a experience of living and walking on the landscape by extending the exterior environment into the interior living space- the ground extended from the outside space became a living furniture for residents. Also, to enhance such architectural sense, the roof and wall were made into a continous entity, and were detached from the ground. Actually, the project could be explained as two elements, the extended ground, and the floating belt. All people need is just a simple and concise shelter hovering above the ground. The ground, landscape, and nature themselves become the architectural spatial interpretaion.

In general, the angle of the sun in Greenland in the whole year is relative low because of its high geographical latitude. In winter, the angle is just about 10°, and in summer, the angle is 50°. Thus, the solar analysis is so important if we want to use passive heating strateges in the area. I started to studied the sun path of the site, and made shadow analysis of the site based on different seasons to figure out what certain area in the site could be available to gain sunlight resources year around. That helped to make a decision on the siting.

Function Wall
The programs were separated into two parts by a function wall made from stones. And all of the programs of the lodge are accociated with certain kinds of environmental phenomena. Two lodges were group together, forming a unit where residents could be able to share some common space based on their own needs in different seasons. PROGRAM AND PHENOMENON ANALYSIS One lodge unit could flexibly responds to different scale of residents. The lodges were distributely placed along on one contour line at certain height that could receive sunlight even in winter, facing different directions.

RESEARCH ON GREENHOUSE The most effective period to get the interior stone wall heated for passive heating system is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the daytime. Thus the angle of the sun and the range of the sun’s motion in this perior is important for making a decision about the buildings’ location, orientation and layout.
MASTER PLAN The site is Kellyville, a deserted scientific meteorological observation station, which locates between the harbor and the Kangerlussuaq. It is the starting point of the arctic trail all the way north to the Russell Glacier. The the master plan, I redifined the arctic trail to a low altitude which had more close relationship and dialogue with the lake. The lodges were placed perpendicular to the contour line. And a branch of arctic trail connects them with the common house at the end corner. The orientation of the lodges was based on the sunlight and landscape.
STONE GROUND AS THERMAL MASS
Greenhouse Type
A passive heating stratege was applied to this project by using stones, the venacular building materials which are available on the site, as the thermal mass to store the heating captured by the vertical glazing. A greenhouse type, the isolated heat gain system was choosen since it is more effective in the cold area.
