01 RING INSIDE BARN HOUSES

This project is located in a village called Deqing near Hangzhou. The houses that are built during the culture revolution are not suitable for the original residents because of the change of lifestyle. However, they are preserved well and have already become a symbol of the village because of their long shape. In most villages in Zhejiang, the residents are the aged and children under 13 because the village can not provide enough education or jobs for the young. To activate the old buildings and provide a public place for children and their grandparents, a primary school is designed to meet these needs.

Circle is a symbol of equality and harmonious in traditional Chinese culture and it is one of the best ways to connect the old building and the new functions for it breaks the old system at a minimal level and provide the new function at a maximal level. Fujian Tulou is one of the forms of traditional Chinese buildings and it can have a good connection with the original buildings for they are all in the same style, so it is a good resource to learn the form from.

“The conflicts of the 20th Century successfully concluded with the triumph of Anglo-American globalised corporate capitalism against communism and non-alignment. The struggle in the 21st Century is about the capture of the soul of the city through the total usurpation of the human spirit by triumphant global corporate capitalism in tandem with city governments.� - Tay Kheng Soon

Phased Masterplan After choosing a project site within our 4D city we split up the area into three key programs, each student from the team of ten focusing on different elements within the city: LIVING WITH NATURE - Food and farming, Residential, Sports DESIGNING ECONOMY - Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship PANCASILA CENTRE - Civic, Religion, Education

Also we developed as a team a number of strict urban guidelines that would allow each designer to design freely but within certain restrictions so that the 4D city might work as one smoothly running machine. The first was the yearly phasing a population count as previously shown, but also extended into standardised deck hights, distances between neighbour plots, plot ratios and many more a few of the key areas are as follows: STREET EXPERIENCE - Building height, setback, scale, plot ratio, edge treatment SOCIAL DECK - Walkable city, Pedestrian network, education skybridges ACTIVITY SPACES - Public spaces, Green spaces

The church can hold 800 people and has its own entrance. To make this area energetic all day, the functions are designed to be mixed. The large lawn on the top of the church is a good place for people with any religion to have fun because it shows no trend to any religion. The structure of the high rise is separated and it is convenient for the transformation in future.

03 NEW CITIZEN'S HOUSE

With the development of urbanization, more and more people flood into big cities, which causes many problems. Most new citizens have never got a good education and they work as construction workers, pipeline workers, waiters, which sometimes are not respected by the original citizens. There is a political movement that aimed at clearing up low-end population in the winter of 2017 in Beijing. It is a terrible act to let the new citizens come back to rural area, instead the governor of cities should provide cheap apartments for the lowincome new citizens. The apartments should not look like prisons but a community that can provide a new style of life.

Problem of Urban Village The pictures show a slum in an abandoned industrial in Taizhou, an economically advanced city in Zhejiang Province. I do not agree with the governors' attitude that is to clearing out these slum and attracting people with high education but negeleting the low-income new commers.

Problems of graves

These pictures show graves in Hangzhou now. The graves on mountains occupies too

a symbol of sprit and the generation of the shape

much land that can grow tea. The cemetery that occupies several hills is not a good idea either, for you can hardly see any plant on those hills where land is wasted too much. The idea that put bone ash in temples is a good choice but not suitable for people who are not Buddhists.

The new grave should look like an underground library. It can store bone ash until the families totally forget the deceased. On the ground floor of the grave, it should look like a park where families can spend time tighter and remember their dead loved ones. After the death of people, their bone ash come back to nature and that is a cycle of life.

Beginning When you enter the grave, you can not see any symbol of death at the beginning. instead there is a sunken square that attracts you to go underground and find the memory belong to tou.

Meditation This is a place where you can stay alone and think of the dead loved ones. the wall and roof are merged toghter and make the place look liake a cave. The shadows change from morning to evening and show the passing of time.

Sharing After visiting the bone ash of your families, there is a place for families where they can share their feelings toghter. Sharing reduce the sadness and make families understand each other better.

Hope Visitors go up stairs inthis place. They can see the strong contract of darknesss and bright. The plant shows a strong vitalityand make people get rid of sadness and feel hope.

Equilibrium Visitors will see a shallow pool and lawn. When they look back the building, they feel quiet and equilibriumand that is the end of the visiting.

Bone ash is put into a small box and stored in the rooms underground.

The project is designed by GOA and KPF. I have worked in GOA as an intern for about half a year and took part in this project in my honor.

It is pleasure We design the model in grasshopper and transform the KUKA and test different ratio of material. The experiment may provide a new way to use concrete in construction also it provides a new form of building. With the help of robot, there must be a big change on construction in the future.
