Solo-work Eight-week second year studio work Tutor:Haoyu Wang
Surrounded by pleasant sceneries, the grove with slanting trees is one of the most beautiful and unique sites in Jiaotong University. However, only a few students take notice of the view there because of its convert location and their fast-paced study lives. To reveal this scenery to students and provide students a meditation space, a multifunctional teahouse involving relaxation and activities is designed to let everyone enjoy the sceneries and the study lives.

With a view of slanting trees, flowing rape flowers in the groves and two lakes nearby, the basic idea is to reveal the sceneries without breaking the continuous sceneries, making the tea-house a transition between the open view and the groves.
The concept idea is to apply the unique features of the groves to the whole building, including interior structure and exterior facade systems so that the tea house can naturally become a part of the groves to let people enjoy it.
LOCATION Located at the main road side in Jiaotong University, a large number of students pass by the grove every day but few take notice of the view there. As the students are always looking for a roof-covering space for them to use because of the busy study lives, the site has come to an embarrassing situation of nice scenery but no viewers without physical material constructions.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN The oblique structure idea comes from the slanting tree trunks and rape flowers in the site, creating a relatively transparent structure instead of traditional walls and pillars that might block sights. Different interior transparency spaces are formed when changing the size and leaning angle of the columns. People will feel as if they are in the rape flower site area walk near the structure system.

CONCEPT
EVOLUTION
The design starts from the imitation of the surrounding site area and makes the tea house itself being part of the environment instead of being an obvious landmark. The "imitation" idea includes two part: the interior structure system and the exterior wall facade system. For the interior part, the structure system would imitate and abstract the rape flower shape as slim oblique columns, which would hold the whole building. For the exterior part, the leaning wall and various leaning density pattern facade record different moments when people are inside the rape flower cluster area. Both design methods create relatively transparent structure instead of traditional solid walls and pillars. The teahouse keeps the enjoyment of the site and becomes an icon of the interesting appealing grove garden.

STRUCTURE ANALYSIS According to the site analysis, the teahouse is divided into three parts. Each part is ensured that at least four groups of the triangle structure are located at the corners of a plan. And each group is bounded with the plan structure grid to strengthen the whole structure. For each column cluster unit, after the bottom triangle is decided, the top one is rotated and moved away for a small distance as long as the inclination angle between the floor and the main structural member is more than sixty degrees so that each cluster can stand individually and steadily.

With the increasingly high-density population growth in the city, the idea of bringing the city street to the sky and making it vertical sets a new prototype of the community. The continuously going spiral space creates a community amongst the residents, from public program to private communal programs in one construction. Combined with the green ecological systems and the water system with the spiral space, it sets an environmental-friendly ecological symbol tower in the future.

With a detailed study on the urban situation of Detroit from traffic, function distribution, density distribution, pollution, water, and green systems, there needs to be a new type of landmark building to indicate the future of Detroit and reactivate the site. The site has great potential to become such a symbol and responds to the historical symbol of "Fisher Building." Surrounded by Baltimore Ave. , Woodward Ave. and Cass, the site is located within the neighborhood of New Center in Detroit and with the Amtrak lines station on its north direction. Based on the research, we connected with the adjacent commercial corridor, universities, artistic spaces, as well as the multitude of transportation options such as the train, city bus, Q-line, and Greyhound bus and combined all these functions together into one tower.

03 MIDDLE SCHOOL Solo-work Sixteen-week first year studio work in UMich Tutor: Julia McMorrough
Students in middle schools are undergoing one of the most important period of their life – puberty. Starting from the "wall" element, the concept of the project is to set the puberty students free from the pressure and the anxiety, and create a more amiable, welcoming atmosphere for the children in middle school.

The design starts from the simple element of ‘‘wall’’ to compose the whole school. By ranking different types and usages of the walls, as well as using these small components compose different programming spaces, interesting spaces are created in various scales, creating freedom for the students to stay and play. SECTION

Conection
To exaggerate the "wall" idea and make it purer, the original building shape is very simple and starts from a rectangle base. According to the site condition, the form is then transformed into a smooth curve along with gradual height change to make the overall space more fluid and corresponding to the idea of the "wall" middle school.

Solo-work Eight-week third year studio work Tutor: Yifeng Chen
Located in a noisy and crowded community, the library is to create a communal space for all ages to learn and play in a quiet and peaceful place. It also works as a community center for the surrounding society with different social activities.
LOCATION Located in a residential area, Lin Yun Avenue is a community which has high intensity, scarce site and lack of communication by age group. Residential living here can communicate with each other only on the streets. Thus, a “Social Contact Center� for children, adult and older are needed and the communication library will be a place for both study and communal activities.

The facade is divided into two form systems, solid form and void form. The solid form is the small hole changing. Therefore the facades of the opening windows are relatively
small. The evolution of the void surface is mainly in the open window. Combined with the solid and void systems, make the facade of the building more abundant.

A major bright spot of this project is the open space and spatial mobility. The open space prototype in the ground layer is the courtyard. It has a large scale, which has a rich function, such as large steps, leisure facilities, garden. They can provide alternating rest ways to different people, making people be able to stay here for a long time.
In the second layer, the bridge can not only become a viewing platform, but it can also create a shelter space for the ground layer. What's more, the large steps of the square can provide an outdoor reading space for readers, and sometimes hold a reading discussion and musical performance. They can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air here.

CONCEPTRION Because of the growing density of urban and the increasing floors of residences, the urban is a lack for a large area of green. The green could be the scenery of urban, also offer a more public area for residents. Compared with the old urban
and contemporary urban, there is an insufficient which is lack an area for public activity. It is negative for activities. In addition, a mixing foundation has good relevance for public space construct.

The concept is largescale green land and multi-level public area with combined function. The city is lack of green land because of the high density and more high rises. Green lands provide public areas for the residence that the modern community cannot provide. The existing building with combined function in the site can provide pleasant room for social activities, which is related to build an appealing public area.

06 CARVED SCAPE
With huge demands of natural resources and the developed-technology of excavation, more natural lands have been excavated and become scared landscapes and abandoned wastelands afterward. It’s estimated that there are over 200,000 abandoned mines covering hundreds of thousands of acres in the western United States. The reclamation of these wastelands is becoming a prevalent issue on how to reconstruct these wastelands and revaluing the landscapes. On this basis, my thesis focuses on rethinking and reclaiming the excavated landscapes into a new type of post-industry tourism land use with a combination of existed geological features and new cultural energy, which can be named as “Carved Scape.”

New Cornelia Mine in Ajo, Arizona, is such a typical site. Experiencing from the deserted natural landscape before 19th to prosperity mining zone in 19th, and being abandon and leave unused at present. It has the potential to be a new historical and cultural landscape. Nowadays, the left trace and history that can be seen on the site are the giant exposed open pit with benches and haul truck road, and a vast tailing pond. Time and human activities have left traces on the earth, nature, landscape. We do not heal the “scars,” they are exposed as the evidence of history, arousing the public’s thoughts on the changing landscape. Mining excavation. 1980s

The site is divided into two parts: the ground part and the underground part. The underground part is supposed to use different carving techniques to carve the space while the ground part is planned to use the excavated raw stone material to build a ground gallery for mining history and carving exhibition. They form a continuous material circulation on the site. Thus, the gallery building can also be considered as an excavated artifact.
For carving parts, research of different carving technique is done, from draft carving to detailed carving. With the development of technologies, people are able to do more giant carving shapes as draft carving movement and intelligent carving patterns as detailed carving. Both create a diversity of interesting shapes and patterns, providing unlimited potential and possibility to the project.

CONCEPT Located along with one of the biggest lakes inside Shanghai Jiaotong University, the whole group needs to construct an inflatable pavilion. Since most of the structure is made of hard materials, the idea of using soft materials to make a building emerged. So we chose one of the lightest material - transparent plastic bags - as the main material. As scenery along the river is good, it is better to use a kind of transparent material to make up of the whole structure.
The inflatable pavilion is constructed by plastic bags and rubber bands. The plastic bag is filled with air, thus, one single plastic bag can become a solid part of the structure. Rubber bands are used as the junction of every unit to avoid air-leaking of plastic bags. The pavilion is transparent and light can come into the pavilion. In this way, the whole structure matches the site and visitors are able to see both the translucent scenery and the real scenery.
STEPS
Single plastic bag
Single unit (front side)
Single unit (back side)
A set of plastic bag units
One single plastic bag is bound to a rubber band. One unit of the plastic bags consists of six single plastic bags which makes the whole unit become nearly a full circle. Every single plastic bag is also joined by the rubber bands and everyone is squeezed by the other two beside it to make the structure fastness.
FORCE ANALYSIS

Adding a tight structure
Here is the construction of a bigger size model. After making a big size model, there show some problems with the structure, thus, we add a plastic rope through each set of plastic bags. And the degree of tightness of the rope can control both the exterior and the interior facade of the pavilion.
