Glass Purrscapes

For a glass artist and cat lover, how to coexist with their cats and artworks is a very intriguing theme.
Based on the cats' love for climbing, the architecture is designed with various pathways in each space, allowing the cats and people in the space to have direct or indirect interactions. Different functional areas also have varying degrees of contact with the cats.
“Glass Purrscapes” creates spaces for the glass artist to work and showcase their art, provides a free-roaming area for the cats,and offers visitors a space to admire the artworks and interact with the cats.
The Artist In The XiangChang
She is Yezi, a glass artist born in Beijing in the mid-1990s. After studying abroad for two years, she returned to China to continue her career in glass art.
Occasionally, she heard that several houses near the Xiang Factory were being renovated and encouraged handicraftsmen to settle there and work.
After seeing the site, she decided to renovate her own studio and residence there.
With the small yard, she could grow some flowers and plants, and there was enough space for the cats to wander around. She hoped that her works could be directly combined with the space where cats climbed, so that visitors could also experience the integration of fragile glass and life.
I'm making my glass figurine and I will finish as soon as possible so that I can go home earlier.
She has three cats at home, but because there was no space for them to play,that create some heart-stopping situations.
Site Analysis
The location is situated within the Xiangchang New District, bordered by Banzhang Hutong to the north, Xiangchang Road to the south, Renshou Road to the west, and Zhengyang Hutong to the east.

Pipes and cube
In this intricate system of interlocking pipes and boxes, people find a space to live and work, showcasing their accomplishments, while cats get to express their natural instincts.
The interconnected pipelines not only connect the spaces but also shape the environment. In this fast-paced era, people's lives are filled with numerous collisions and disappointments, and it is in this backdrop that cats roam through their everyday lives, mending the cracks in their souls.
Life may be tattered, but the little cats diligently sew and patch it up.

In people’s memories, the Tsinghua Park Station is not just a representative in the long river of history, but rather the reachable red brick walls and the steel tracks under their feet; it is part of life. From people’s answers, I can still touch that vibrant yet mature and steady old station. If it were to be renovated and displayed as an exhibit of the new era, where should these lively memories go?
In the design, the two Tsinghua Park stations should be maximally preserved in their original state, without deeper modifications or additions. Instead, they should be analyzed and observed from different perspectives.

On the facade,the two materials are combined in theform of surface and mass.
The rusted steel plates represent the long history of the Beijing-Hong Kong Railway and the old station, evoking a unique tactile sensation that stimulates people's perception of the building. The perforated aluminum panels, as the main material for the facade, are lightweight, versatile in color, and can provide sufficient variation in lightand shadow texturesfor the building.

In the Beijing area, smog has always been a headache. This design focuses on haze treatment in super high-rise buildings, while also conducting aerial greening through small platforms on the building, aiming to return a beautiful air environment to the surrounding areas.
People not only benefit from the fresh air processed by the building, but can also enter the building, walk onto the balcony, and experience the beauty that green buildings bring to the city from different perspectives.
