这是一个位于非洲东部欸塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴的社会性住 宅项目，旨在提供一个系统性的，温和且可共存的致密化解决方 案。往大而言，这个方案关注的是城镇化和身处其中的个体在物 质和情感层面上诉求的矛盾-前进或归属；往小而言，则是调和新 旧居民之间的矛盾，和对如何通过建筑手段促成社区关系形成的 探讨。

This is a social hosing project in the capital of EthiopiaAddis Ababa, on a site called Gerji which belongs to Federal Housing Cooperation(FHC) and needs to be urgently densified like many of their other sites.

I named it with three titles following each other, as “Cohabitable Densification“ is the goal, and “Urbanization & Nostalgia“ is the one relation to discuss, and “Towards the collective welfare between original and new residents“ is what the project ends with in reality, to present.

In short, it is about a gentler way of densifying, caring more of its residents, and being systematic that could be applied in a wider scale.

On the border of the Gerji site, the newly built 40/60 condominium project stands in the background.

An Unambitious City Courtyard

Budapest is a city of axis - in comparable large scale but often starts and ends in nowhere, and a city of courtyards - where communal activities take place.

Instead of building another axis, my intention of the site is to adapt a circular system in a way of city courtyard, as it is homogeneous and enclosed in form, therefore not indicating any specific direction. I imagine it to be a lowland for the city, inviting people step into its realm with an open gesture, as if water flowing into ponds naturally in the rainy days.

这是在极小地块上，一个处于连接点的房子，它为城市提供一间可容纳40人进行公共活动的房间。

建筑的两个端点分别对应着烈日的两个城市广场，它本身则是关于两个端点之间的联系和转变（建筑内和外由二至三的转变）。

A Narrow Site and Two Squares

The site is sitting on the turning point of the street ” Rue Tournant Saint-Paul”, which connects the SaintPaul Square on the south with the Cathedral Square on the northeast, and further leads up to one of the main commercial streets of Liege. It is of a narrow morphology and surrounded by its multi-storey neighbours, notably the Saint-Paul Cathedral with giant rose window on the side.

When it comes to the question of what should be happening on such a site, my instinct goes to something small, lower in height, hiding in the corner as if it’s a little gift. Its presence should not be strong, therefore leaving the glory to the delicate ones next to it (as the little red house and the rose window of the church). But on the other hand, it should be there to contribute a comfortable and casual exterior spatial ratio or quality.

A Chamber of Connection and Inclusion

A public chamber for about 40 people, is the setted function for this site. I define it as a chamber of connection and Inclusion, as in bringing public life from the two directions to the squares together, and embrace them inside the building.

That’s the reasoning of the spatial configuration of a room in the centre, and circulation on two ends. To elaborate, the circulation is arranged on both ends of the building, which are in accordance to the two entrances on the ground floor. And those two entrances, they are the openings allow public life from the squares to flow into the building.

The 38th Daegu The 38th Daegu international architecture competition

这个一个有玩心的幼儿园。

通过对通道和房间的分离和各自演变、再度连接，生成变化多端而又趣味性的空间，从而为其中孩童提供更加有趣的成长体验。

I spend my childhood at my grandparent’s house, like many other people around my age. It is a small village in south China, with low hills behind and a stream passing on the front, irrigating the along side paddy field.

Unlike the city kids nowadays, my early days of childhood is with the field, forest and animals. This experience is so precious for me, thus I wish it to continue with my newborn nephew and niece. That’s my initial motivation to design a kindergarten near my grandparent’s house - for the on-going of old memories.

There is always a strong bond in Chinese family between grandparents and grandchildren, therefore, other than providing spaces for kids, the elderlies are also concluded in this building. Without after-school classes, being away from the over anxiety, all kids shall go back to nature.

The site sits in a north-south orientated valley, surrounded by low hills covered with bamboo forest. A stream is running in the middle of the valley, and centred by it, a local living pattern is developed.

A triangle area is there between three neighbouring villages, with easy access to each of them. By overlapping the results of sunlight exposure from the typical days in the year, the exact location with most abundant sunlight is shown with the lightest shade.

[1] The kindergarten should be formed by three main function areas -- activity room, public classroom and staff office. The fact that the activity room and public classroom should have good orientation decides the distribution of these three main blocks.

[2] According to different areas required by the functions, the size of each block could be defined.

Two corridors are formed to connect the separate units. One goes perpendicular to the contour line of the hillside, while the other goes along the boundary line between forest and paddy field.

The units are placed correspondingly. Benefiting from the original mountain slope, various level of façades could be observed from a lower point.

When one looks back into the history of Ayvalik, the first thing to see is the close relationship between this town and the sea. The ports for exporting local goods, attracting tourists, are also the ones send away the homesick wanderers and fledging refugees.

The sea is like something over the head of its people, beautiful and prosperous, but meanwhile unstable, turbulent and posting a risk of falling down at any moment.

Ayvalik is a seaside town on the northwestern Aegean coast of Turkey, facing the nearby Greek island of Lesbos. It sits on a narrow coastal plain framed by low hills covered with pine and olive trees to the east, which support the local industry of soap, olive oil, animal hides and flour.

Due to its specific location, back to old times, this area was inhabited by both Turks and Greeks. It had its glory of being an important cultural centre of the surrounding district, but also the sadness of war and massacre between Greeks and Turks.

The population exchange happened in 1923 send most of the Greeks away, therefore, the majority of the local population are now Turks. But the history of immigration from different ethnic groups has left its own mark on this area, and became part of the culture of Ayvalik, which is carried on by the arrival of Syrian refugees.

Typhoons could be considered as one of the worst natural disasters in the world. As the on-going deterioration of our living environment, we have all reasons to assume that like most of the other extreme weathers, the strike of the typhoon will become increasingly frequent. And Taipei, by its special location where the typhoon shows its horrible power most thoroughly, is regarded as a typical district in our research and design.

Concept Development

The main building serves as a view frame of the city landscape, inside which we arrange a variety of functions, including water retaining, storage, temporary shelter, research institution, and exhibition. Between the frame is a three-dimensional staggered space structure for holding numbers of devices for energy collection and typhoon intervention. Those devices are designed based on the formation of typhoons.

With both preventing and defending approaches, we see this project as an attempt for human positive intervening through architecture measures towards future disasters.

China has a really fast speed of urbanization. During the endless expanding of major cities, their nearby villages have been swallowed, and turn into so-called “urban village“.

Guangzhou is an example. It was geographically far away from central China back to old times, but dramatically increase its importance after “The Reform and Opening-up Policy“ in 1978. This brings it its most recent domestic immigration flow.

Urban Village

Although being surrounded by modern urban constructions, the outside prosperous seems have nothing to do with the inside world of these villages. The streets are usually narrow, as the buildings aside are too crowded, which cause the poor living situation of lacking fresh air and sunlight.

However, their comparatively low rent makes them affordable for the city newcomers, most of whom are youth pursuing better lives. They were my parents, and they could be my peer.

The Study of Needs and Scale

By adapting the spatial qualities of the traditional village house, the social activities used to happen in and around the courtyard could be kept in its new container.

Thus to ease the melancholy of being away from home of its residents.

Research on Traditional Living Mode

The skylight improves the lighting and ventilation conditions, creating a comfortable living situation while those high walls around protect the family from any potential danger.

For rainy days, it forms a well-like system which leads the rain falling into the courtyard and flowing away through the shallow trench around.

The way how water travels through the skylight to the courtyard is called “四水归堂“ (all water end in the courtyard). As water symbolizes money in chinese culture, people expect this will bring them fortunes and help with bringing the family prosperity.

Adaptation of Courtyard Space

Act as part of the drainage system in the rainy days, where people can sit aside and listen to the rain.

The agriculture activity has been moved to the top of building block.

Around the courtyard, the socializing space under skylight is still maintained.

The second planet was inhabited by a conceited man.

“Ah! Ah! am about to receive a visit from an admirer!” he exclaimed from afar, when he first saw the little prince coming.

For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.

“And what should one do to make the hat come down?” he asked.

But the conceited man did not hear him. Conceited people never hear anything but praise.

“I admire you,” said the little prince, shrugging his shoulders slightly, “but what is there in that to interest you so much?”

And the little prince went away.

“The grown−ups are certainly very odd,” he said to himself, as he continued on his journey.

A conceited man is someone who thinks he knows all the things, but actually, he doesn’t. Sometimes in our culture, we describe knowledge is water, and people are the vessels to contain it.

[Out of Box] [Contextual] [Fun & Experiential] [Flexibility & Possibility][Simple Construction]

Starting with this design assignment for a flexible preschool scheme we have asked ourselves what are the most important things for children to have in a healthy upbringing. In our eyes it is the opportunities to play with friends, to run around and to discover new things both inside the classroom and out in the open air.

“:Puzzle :Piece” is the idea of having one base form of a hexagon (a “Piece”) and its possibility to grow into various kinds of clusters (in the way of “Puzzles”) to construct a school that is responsive and flexible.

The choice of a hexagon module is to counter the idea that the only way to learn is to put children in a square box all day. Instead we try to We try to let children learn in a more exploratory environment. The hexagonal form also makes the need for interior walls obsolete. Therefore, the interior space of each module can have an open floor plan which is fun and experiential. As how different puzzle pieces coming together will create a playful puzzle, the hexagonal module can have a great variety in how the cluster could be shaped. The context of the school determines how the school cluster should be formed. In Dillu and Hiddi for example, the new school building cluster is chosen to create a more open character towards the existing school buildings. In another context perhaps a more enclosed or linear cluster would be desired. The fact that the buildings design is made up of different module means that the construction can happen incrementally. The construction can be phased with each module and because each module can be interchanged with each other it allows for more flexibility.

The construction is a marriage between vernacular materials, like interlocking CEB and eucalyptus wood, and the simple industrial materials, like corrugated sheets and steel profiles.

界定 | Define The Boundary

这是一个充满冲突的场地，城市急速扩张，卷挟着高密度的住宅片区，和宽阔平直的 道路，却止步于望亭所在的这块土地。群山环绕，绿意盎然。

因此我们希望能够回应这一宏大的城市尺度，同时去定义和缓和自然和城市的边界。 囿于高度限制，我们选择了水平向的策略。通过不同方向的廊桥去拼合场地四周分隔 的元素，再向上旋转生成了观景的望亭。

The site is a site of contradiction. We see the city expanding overwhelmingly, rushing down with its extra-high dense residential buildings, straight broad roads, but yet stopped here on this site all of a sudden. The progress is paused by the bay of nature, of the rolling mountains in the distance.

Therefore, one of our departure points is to respond to this giant urban scale and help with easing the boundary between the city and nature. We choose a horizontal approach due to the height limit. Verandas of different directions are used to connect the separated elements next to the site, and then go upwards to form the “viewing pavilion”.

连结 :集市的文艺复兴 | Bonding: The Renaissance of Outdoor Market “结”即是四条路径相互间的连结，也是承上启下，过往与将来的连结。

岱山片区有着大片的保障房，住户中多有受城市发展影响回迁的居民。它的人口结构 中也有着很大一部分的老人和儿童。集市对于他们而言，在久远的记忆中，更像是月 初年尾，家长里短，日常的一部分。

我们希望望亭能够眺望作为“事件”的集市，但同时也可以孵化作为“日常”的集 市。从而去连结新形成的社群。因此在设计中留有了允许这一事件发生的余地。

“Bonding” means the connection of the four paths, and of the past and future. Daishan has a large area of affordable housing, many of the people there have their roots back in villages. For them, outdoor market used to be part of their daily life, instead of a yearly event which serves more for tourism.

We are expecting the Tower could provide a nice view of the “event” market, but also incubate daily market to bond local newly formed community. Thus, the market space is preserved in the design.
