Personal Statement Born in Yunnan Province surrounded by the natural environment, I was full of longing for mega-city. When I visited the Shanghai world expo in 2010, I first yearned for a big city by combining huge glass curtain wall with reinforced concrete structure to create a skyscraper, which reflected the great progress and prosperity of industrialization. The yearning for skyscrapers strengthens my determination to study architecture in mega-city, and I hope to build many skyscrapers in my hometown in the future. However, After years of study and living in mega-city, I found out that my favorite skyscraper does not seem to be comfortable. The rigid greening in the city lacks interaction with humans, and the loss of building energy indirectly causes air pollution. China's urban form is separated from its natural environment, which might not be my most desirable city developing mode. From then on, I started to think about whether the building can be built on trees or whether the trees can grow through the building without affecting the light of the building. There are some traditional architectural forms that can be used as a solution to the problem of contemporary urban and nature division. Tree house is one of the solutions. It allows more land to be used for planting trees, and the cities of the future will be submerged in the jungle. The original tree house in Yunnan was designed to adapt to the local humid climate, which providing a cool and ventilated indoor environment and preventing animals from invading. Tree houses are usually built in the forest and they hide the traces of human life in the most natural way that cling to trees or adjust them look like trees. In the "Mutualism" project, I tried the architectural form of a tree house, which is a residence designed for left-behind children's families. The treelike supporting structure makes children feel like they are shuttling in the woods. This environment gives children a space to play happily, and the gradually rising unit also symbolizes the healthy growth of children in the environment. This project creates a scene where architecture and nature get along with each other. The structure system is simulated as a natural creatures to integrate the tree house into the city. Although one steel column looks cold and artificial, lots of combined treelike columns will become more organic as a forest like building. According to Fujimoto, architecture is not only a product of natural evolution, but also an invention of human beings. It's a wonderful experience to take architecture back to its original birth. This is one of the development directions in the future construction field, and it is also a direction I want to explore. In the past, The rough urbanization expansion invaded and destroyed nature like a virus, but in the future, people will explore the different possibilities of harmonious coexistence between architecture and nature. Therefore, I want to study March RIBA Part 2 at University of Edinburgh, so that I could build up solid foundation and more advanced theories to achieve my goal. Since I have taken the RIBA Part1 course in my undergraduate course, I want to continue to study the RIBA Part2 course to improve my ability and will try to obtain the RIBA Part3 certificate in the future.
01 CITY CLEANER Water Purification Museum in Suzhou City BEng Architecture Level 2/ Year 3 2018/2019 2nd Semester Suzhou Museum of Science and Technology Instructor:Sandro Rolla Sandro.Rolla@xjtlu.edu.cn Individual work Suzhou, as the Oriental Venice, is a city with a developed water system. River, as a channel for people to transport goods and visit, has been integrated into the daily life of local people. But with the development of the industry around the old city, the water flowing into the old city is seriously polluted. The stinking sewage has seriously affected the daily life of the local people and damaged the image of the city. As a functional building, City Cleaner is like a big machine to purify sewage. It is located near the main river channel flowing into the old urban area and is mainly responsible for the preliminary purification of sewage flowing into the old urban area. The purified sewage will be a cleaner and a deodorizer. Secondary water purification equipment is placed at the intersection of rivers in the city. These devices provide the purified water to the surrounding people as domestic water. As a museum, city cleaners exhibits the whole process of water purification and popularize the knowledge of water purification and water pollution to teenagers. The whole machine can operate on its own. The structure of the building extends upward and is designed as a windmill. Wind power provides energy for the water purification system. The use of bamboo as the surface of the building is more environmentally friendly. The roof garden on the fourth floor reduces the heat island effect of the city. On the 5th floor, there is an activity platform with swimming pool, which allows people to hold some water related activities. 3

02 TWINS SYMBIOSIS Open project Instructor:Alfred Pun Group work Group membersďźšRen Chenjia, Liu ZIyu
Twins Symbiosis is located at the Twin Lakes of Redwood National Park in California week, USA. The place is full of giant redwoods, attracting many campers and mountaineers. Twins Symbiosis, as a camp center, is a place for climbers to rest. It is divided into two parts: a sightseeing tower and a camp. The tower allows climbers to find their camp faster in the woods and points out the direction in snowy weather. The camp provides hot springs, coffee and restaurants for climbers. The design concept comes from people's activities, mountaineering, mountain biking, fishing and camping near the Gemini lake. We geometric these activities and translate them into architectural language. These languages are used to design the facade of the tower and the plane of the camp. The facade of the tower brings abundant light and shadow into the interior, and the plane of the camp also makes the space more interesting.

MUTUALISM Tree House Community in Suzhou City BEng Architecture Level 2/ Year 3 2018/2019 1nd Semester Re-thinking Harmonious Living Instructor: Igea Troiani Igea.Troiani@xjtlu.edu.cn Individual work The site is located in the old urban area of Suzhou, where there is no vitality. The front of the site is an old abandoned building, and the back is a temporary construction shed. The environment in the sheds is very simple. Some of the sheds still accommodate left behind children who come to find their parents on holidays. Surrounded by history, culture and tall buildings, the site has become the edge of the city even though it is located inside the city. Therefore, the completion of Mutalism can reactivated this area and enable the left behind children to grow up healthily in it. The concept of the design comes from orchid, which is transformed into architectural language and forms different house types through different combinations. Site is divided into three parts: activity space, commercial space and residential space. In terms of architectural form, the building gradually becomes higher from the activity space to the living space, which means that orchids grow up with left behind children. As a tree house in the city, Mutulism is an attempt to integrate architecture and nature. The house is built on a tree-like pillar, aiming to hide the house in the woods when the surrounding trees grow up in the future.

FLOATING MARKET New fresh market in Zhengzhou city BEng Architecture Level 3/ Year 4 2019/2020 1nd Semester Creative Hub in Zhengzhou Airport City Instructor:Richard Hay Richard.Hay@xjtlu.edu.cn Individual work
Z h e n g z h o u , c a p i t a l o f H e n a n a n d t h e biggest city of the Central Plain, lays close to the Yellow River, in the very core of the cradle of Chinese civilization. Due to its central location, has been considered a strategic point to develop a new National Central City, linked to a brand-new Airport, centre and agent for the ambitious New Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone. Due to its location, Zhengzhou Airport provides flights connecting 109 cities (28 international) and has already become the main hub in the central area of China. It already surpassed Wuhan's and Changsha's airports' traffic, and a new city is already growing around the airport. The floating market combines researching, planting and marketing of new agricultural products, and takes the advantages of aviation city to sell new products to all parts of the world. The floating market will expand the market space and use more ground space for planting. The market platform is designed with a lot of void, so that light can penetrate the market and reach the ground. Trees grow and cross the void to reach the market platform, which will lead to more interaction between shoppers and plants. The building shell uses ETFE material to create a huge greenhouse. ETFE has heat preservation and light transmittance, which can make plants grow better. 21

In the next 20 years, many workers will be replaced by robots, and people will have more time to focus on their lives rather than their jobs.. Food safety has always been a major problem in China. People pay more attention to the original ecology and the freshest food. Some even prefer to eat their own produce because there will be no fertilizers or pesticides. So in the future, a new agricultural market will be designed to meet people's new needs.
