My name is Li Gubai come from
China. I am a interior
architect , graduated in a master degree from AKV St.Joost academy in Breda. I am now studying in the FHK, MA+U fontys academy in Tilburg, Architecture, I successfully finished the first year. During my studies in The Netherlands, I worked as an interne in two offices, where I gained a lot of skills and experiences. Now I am looking for a new starting point, therefor I am looking for a new enviroment and new challenges. It is for this reason I am interested to find a position/
internship position in your office. I have strong traditional Chinese background and very fascinated by Eastern Asian traditional architecture and mentality. My graduation research was about Chinese contemporary living conditions. In my future professional position, I would like to build up the bridge between
Western European and Eastern Asian , more specific, the Chinese market and architecture. I graduated as a Master and a bachelor from Art and Design schools, so I am interested in and experienced research, designing, competitions. I also would like to learn more about building practice, construction and technics. It will take another 3 years before I graduate from FHK MA+U academy, I would be very pleased to learn and experience more about Dutch architecture in your office. (and also connect with my country)

Graduation research : Beijing quadrangle house characteristics research and the connection with contemporary chinese living condition. 2013. 7_Avans St.Joost academy in Breda
Nowadays, China is developing incredibly to become one of the biggest countries in the world. The Issues like "Huge population", "One child policy", "Aged society". "Unbalanced income" have been concered as very important topics in contemporary Chinese society. "Lonely","Lacking of time to spend with family", "High living and economic pressure" are very offen to discrible different age classes and society levels especially in the low income society group. Living condition is one of the most important element concerns within common people's life. It represents the Chinese current life quality especially under Chinas huge and dense population. An aged society (elderly generation), High living pressure (middle generation, young worker), Lack of communication (all generations) these 3 aspects are my research topics of Chinese current living conditions, inspired by Chinese traditional living conditions in Quadrangle houses.

Eastern qudrangle house ditrict
Beijing Hutong distribution
The Quadrangle house is one of the traditional living units in China. It is very representative to the Chinese traditional way of living (and its history). Quadrangle living unit is composed by four houses, orientated to the North, South, East and West. There is a big open yard in the center of the whole building complex. It is the ‘communication’ place where all generations of the family meet, the center where housekeeping activities take place. It is both a relatively private space within the residential area and a public space within the house.

Quadrangle house
HuTong
Function space (kitchen, toilet) living room and bedroom
Hutongs are narrow streets connecting to each quadrangle house and in the same time Hutongs connect whole Beijing city. Hutong in an architecture language is very difficult to define, it can be " a shopping mall", "a laundry", " a toilet", "a bathroom", "a teahouse", "a storage", " kids playground", "the Hair dresser's" ........ Hutong as a social playground offers different people spending time together. It is a society " Living room" as we say nowadays - " Semi - public space".

New situation: Hutong combine with quadrangles
Traditional quadrangle house and Hutong in the old Beijing city present a private space and a public space. It is a very traditional way of living in terms of social life, family life and so on.
Traditional quadrangle house and Hutong in the old Beijing city presented a private space and a public space. It is a very traditional way of living in all aspects. Based on my research on the society issues such as the aged city, high pressure life, one child policy and all kinds of reasons together - my conclusion is Chinese contemporary way of living has lack of social interactions and communication. By combining the “Hutong” (public social life) with the traditional “Quadrangle house” (individual life) together is possible to improve the current Chinese living condition. This new approach can reduce loneliness of eldery people as well as share young families financial pressure.

Graduation Project : "URBAN SLAM ": Huai de yuan apartment reconstruction New Chinese living condition suppose 2013. 7_Avans St.Joost academy in Breda
Huan De Yuan #1
This is my Master graduation studio project based on my graduation research. Project is about an interior reconstruction of a common apartement building located in Chang Zhou, Eastern China. This building originally built in 1998 - a very iconic block of flats from time before opening of Chinese apartment building. Each floor has 5.5 meters height (80 meters in total) which is very important characteristics of this building. The idea of this project is to change this iconic apartment into a low income housing apartment facing the Chinese current society problems based on my graduation research. Project is combining traditional ways of living with new society condition.

"URBAN SLAM" block of flats This diagram shows whole apartment block after renovation: all floors are connected by vertical and horizontal “HuTongs” - which means the public "living rooms" are offering people social interarctions in shared spaces. There is a wide range of daily outdoor activities brought together into the new “HuTongs” such as tea houses, restaurants, chess corneres and others. There are not only "low income" social housing apartments, but also street commercial and cultural facilities joining together in the building to change apartment's isolated life into an urban scale, creating so called “Urban slum”.

This building originally has 8 groups of users on each floor. According to this project there will be 17 groups for each floor in the future. Based on higher density of people, sharing the cost for public space facilities including water, electricity, internet and aircon supplies can reduce the financial pressure. As Chinese policy: having flats less than 12 m2 per person will have finnancial support from government. All these are actually going to be much cheaper than getting a mortgage for buying a regular apartement in the city.

Studio Project : "The Maze hotel ": Utrecht canal Hotel design 2014. 3_Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg
This is my studio project of a design for a hotel with a skybridge over a canal located in Utrecht. The building consist from two objects connected through bridge and the change of the facades was not allowed due to the city's policy. Except a temporary stay, hotel is a space intensively dealing with public and private interactions. The see and to be seen in hotel as a game between private and public spaces turned to be an important issue in this project. Target building
Target building
"Everybody is interested in the others private life, but meanwhile affraid of losing their own secrets and privacy." There are various angles of unexpected situations meeting your eyeview in this hotel. The user experience is full of surprise. As an experimental project a sort of 3d maze was created to reach these unexpected situations. The entire hotel is then composed from a "never ending passage" and rooms of various shapes.

Studio Project : SHADOW CREATER --- Pinecone: Ecological design: Pinecone windows filter 2014. 5_Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg
This is an ecology design studio project inspired by a natural sources from Dutch nation forest park. Pinecone is natural object with interesting feature of shrinking and expanding itself due to a moisture increase in its environment. This project is very directly using this natural characteristic of pinecone applied onto a window filter or facade to achieve various light qualities in the building interior. This window filter is powered only by the moisture sensitivness in the air in a very environmentally-friendly way without any chemistry elements.

Studio Project : Stand up --- Body notation mapping ONION --- Parametric design Gas station design in Tilburg --- Parametric design 2013. 12_Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg
PHASE 1: Mapping the movement
The main aim of this project was to capture a space defined by a movement of a human body. This project was divided into 3 steps. First step was worked in groups to map and create a notation of a human body movement. My team choose the movement of sitting to standing. Mapping the motion first with a series of picture, which were afterwards developed into the 2d notation, which was carried on to recreate into a 3d maquette.
Movement map 18
PHASE 2: Parametric model making Following the step 1, the second step was to rethink the whole notation and translate it to a pavilion based on the rules of parametric design. The project was finally a sitting pavilion for people to take a rest after work. Each piece of the construction is one of the notation moment and futher more, to use this pavilion you actually need to move yourself in a same way notated in the first step - from "sitting to standing up". This model was developed in the grasshopper software for rhino.

PHASE 3: Parametric design- Gas station in Tilburg The third stage of this project was to create a gas station located in Tilburg south. The idea was still based on the concept of the pavilion.
Shell Gas station
BP Gas station Kempenbaan 1
The concept of this gas station was to break the traditional eyeview of people's experience about highways. This was achieved by using various distance and position between the car driving in the highway and the people resting in the gas station. This project was also applied the pamatric design by Rhino and Grasshopper 3d program.

By hearing many legends, Liesbos forrest is full of homosexual colour. Some people treat the forrest as the best cover for their secret activities during the night. Light is one of the most important elements for people when finding the right "destinations". ByA58monitoring these forrest light conditions, it is possible to modify people' s ways through the place. This means that various light condition provides different activities within the gas station design. This concept is not only aiming for providing homosexual space but is also an experimental project tring to satisfy all kinds of people's needs within one space.

Practice work BREDE SCHOOL IN UITHUIZEN Close competition 2013.7_Internship Uarchitects architecture office
This is an architecture internship project of a Brede school in Uithuizen. It is a building for three schools and municipality office. Project is situated in a green area next to the outdoor sport centre, at the edge of a town, on a plot with a view into the fields. The main idea of the concept is that each school has its own wing of the building designed in different way due to its own requirements. Partially two storeys are connected together to create a social interaction space for all schools. During this competition we were concerned about how these three completely different schools gather together, in terms of various ages or religion childs and so on. Finally, we used a 3D plan to explain our idea of differences and similarities for each school. We won this project as the first price in the competition.

This is a school project aiming to analyse the Kunsthal museum, Rotterdam, in different aspects such as layering, mind map, numbers, history and so on. There were various tools used in the research about this museum. In this task, the museum itself is analised without simply repeating but putting visitor's own experience understanding and representation instead.
34
This is the mind map of the Kunsthal museum. The idea of this project was to respresent my own story: Using a small paper maquette with sketches to describe the kunsthal museum. Through combining 3D and 2D explanations the project is expressing the personal spacial impressions of visitors own experience.
35
This maquette consist of the Kunsthal museum facades and section technical drawings. These are represented by various colours and thicknesses and shapes of paper, to use a unique way of translation of 2D drawings into maquette to capture of visitor's visual experience.
