01 Les Halles 2030 University of Pennsylvania Site location: Paris, France Instructor: Robert Stuart Smith Partner: Rui Huang, Sihan Zhu Located in the heart of Paris, Forum Les Halles is a site of prominence, history, and controversy. A market stood on its grounds since 1183, including iron structured halls designed by Victor Baltard in 1854, demolished in 1971 to make way for a Metro station and shopping center. Now we are going to imagine what it will be like in 2030 and redesign this district. We will design an urban park and future retail and transport centre, exploring urban space and mobility as a dynamic, posthuman field of active matter. Materiality will be explored as an agent of interaction, and field of experimentation through the designing of affects that are strategized within fabrication and buildinglifecycle.

Our Concept is a future fast-passing retail space where people mainly use e-scooters or autonomous cars to quickly pass through and enjoy fast shopping. At the same time, this area will also be regarded as a public landscape and a transportation hub. This new Les Halles consists of fast-passing retail space for automatic cars, ramp space for scooters and green space for passengers. Those different parts interact with each other, forming an integral system. We also try to make this complex more like a landscape architecture anchoring on the ground and naturally connecting to its context.

Rain Simulation

Pervious Concrete

Impervious Concrete

The sunken ramps for scooters connecting up and down are also used for rain collection. The distribution of pervious concrete which can guide the rain flow is according to the rain simulation, and the rain simulation is derived from the form. So those several factors: form, rain flow, material, function and green are interactive with each other to form an integral system.

We use robotic arms to explore distribution of materials according to rain simulation in different status.

CHUNK The chunk rendering shows how all those elements such as double side driving-through retail, fast-passing tunnel, spiral retails, sunken ramps, subway station, airship platform, storage space and landscape are all merged together. Objects and materials are considered to be the most important factors to dominate the whole design rather than traditional top-down methodologies.

DOUBLE SIDE SHOPPING SPACE FOR AUTOMATIC CARS You can drive through this retail space and get off where you want. Robotic arms and robots are used to arrange and convey goods. There are also some open space providing VR and AR experience on both sides.

SUNKEN RAMPS AND SPIRAL SHOPPING FOR SCOOTERS Sunken ramps can connect the subway station, spiral retail space and fast -passing tunnel together. A continuous route system is created for scooters.

02 Pop Art Museum University of Pennsylvania Site location: Miami, US Instructor: Hina Jamelle Partner: Yingxin Zhang Pop Art has a plethora of techniques to stimulate architectural design research. Inspired by Pop Artists’ painting techniques, we focused on interlocking, nesting and repetition techniques. On the Museum’s Façade, techniques of interlocking and nesting were developed into varying solids and voids with varying scales and depth. Within the museum the interlocking technique allow us to develop a nested relationship between interior and exterior spaces via a series of external courtyards connected to galleries. Repetitions of nesting techniques achieve the continuity of space and create an atmosphere of Pop Art spirit. Color has an important role in pop art paintings and in our museum sited in Miami’s Design District. We set up a series of principles of color in our museum. By using color in different

location in the surface or the aperture, color can indicate different function of inner spaces. We also paint the courtyard from wall to floor using one color to distinguish the external and internal space. Those principles also help us codify the façade and achieve the “hyperpainterly” through the color of multiple adjacent surfaces in our Museum. Together the techniques allow for visitors to experience a new kind of light filled and joyous museum experience for Miami.

03 Changsha Exhibition Center (Professional Work)

I was deeply involved in this project from the initial competition to the final completion. In the late construction phase, I also often went to the construction site to communicate with the owners and constructors. After nearly four years of efforts, the first phase of the project (consists of 8 pavilions) was finally completed at the end of 2016.

TJAD (Tongji Architectural Design Co.,Ltd), 2012-2016 Site location: Changsha, China Director: Qun Zeng Partner: Xiaoqin Wen, Jian Liu, Erqing Fang

This is a super-scale exhibition complex with a total floor area of 4.8 million ft2 including the underground. It consists of 12 pavilions, each with a net exhibition area of 160,000 ft2, and two registration halls, as well as a large outside exhibition field enclosed in the center. By pursuing flexibility, efficiency, and clarity in layout, the exhibition center serves as a exhibition container meeting the essential needs of Exhibitors, Contractors and Attendees. In form, we explored how to organically combine the modern long-span steel structure with the traditional Chinese wood structure. We adopt a shape of antiarc to remind the figure of Chinese traditional roof, which reveals a contrast between lightness and heaviness, softness and stiffness. By applying module, symmetry, repetition and rhythm in design, the overall exhibition complex shows a continuously undulating skyline, which can not only emphasize its landmark feature but also provide a rich spatial experience. Our goal is to obtain an optimal solution by considering function, form, structures, materials, economics and aesthetics together in design.

04 Development Center of UnionPay (Professional Work) TJAD (Tongji Architectural Design Co.,Ltd), 2011-2015 Site location: Shanghai, China Director: Qun Zeng Partner: Xiaoqin Wen, Xiwen Chen By following this project for more than 4 years, I took part in the whole process from the initial concept design to the final completion. Occupying the central position and with a total area of 8,8000 m2, the Development Center is the most important and largest building in UninonPay headquarter park. We are required to follow the existing style and coordinate with the surrounding buildings. So we extract the main form styles and materials from existing buildings and apply those elements in our design in a creative way. The existing landscape structure and the overall

circulation of the office park should also be carefully considered. An 'L' shaped building is proposed facing to the main entrance, and the big viewing window is set on the end facing to the central landscape pool. Energy saving strategies and Intelligent control system are incorporated in our design, which includes Roof greening, solar hot water system, Building Automation System, Electric energy management system and building integrated energy consumption monitoring system, etc.

05 Future Airport | New York City Gateway Passenger and Cargo Terminal University of Pennsylvania Site location: New York, US Instructor: Ali Rahim, Brian Deluna, Ezio Blasetti, Nate Hume Partner: Ye Huang, Yifei Wang A new airport typology can help sustain New York City's financial global leadership in the world. To maintain its leadership, export opportunities to and in developing economies are more likely to fuel growth. Long haul flights are needed and there is an increased demand from travelers flying to Asia and other emerging markets. Airports should negotiate these growth opportunities with more luxurious and efficient travel experiences. At the same time the rise of a technologically driven retail giants such as Amazon uses distribution networks that channel materials and goods to remote locations that are delivered through existing delivery networks including DHL, USPS, UPS and FedEx. The airport terminal that deals with passengers and cargo will contribute towards reducing the disparity between cities vying for financial global leadership and New York City. The new terminal will increase the relevance of JFK as a business and logistics hub making a stronger connection to global centers and strengthening development locally. The site is at JFK airport. In particular we are designing a new Gateway Hub which is the entry sequence to the airport and combining it with a cargo terminal developing a new typology for New York City's airports.

Prototype Study

Regarding Eero Saarinen's TWA terminal as our preference. From its opening in 1960s, TWA Flight Center was more than a functional terminal, it was a monument to the airline and a sensational space for passengers to experience.

Amazon automated logistic system

In the last decade, Amazon has grown to be the largest online retailer. A large part of Amazon's success is its very sophisticated and increasingly automated logistic system which applies matrix sorting and conveying robots with great efficiency and accuracy. By combining the main features of interior apace in TWA terminal with Amazon's new automated logistic system, we tried to create a new prototype for future airport which will serve both for people and cargo. It will also bring a different experience for passengers when they move in the airport seeing the motion of machines and cargos delivered by conveyor system.

Functional diagram By applying the prototype in architecture, we create a future airport for both human and cargo. Passenger flow and cargo flow are separated but weaved together. The diagram below shows how these two systems organize in one space and interact with each other.

Interior space The departure hall on right shows how logistic system can be revealed to passengers. It will be a fantastic experience when you get through those moving convey belts and see how human space can get mutual interaction with object space. Rather than in a pessimistic way to present post-humanism world, we hold a optimistic attitudes towards it and try to depict a harmoniously symbiotic relationship between human and object.

06 Self-Organized MultipliCITY Tongji University Site location: Shanghai Instructor: Yongliang Shi Partner: Xiaokai Huang, Dong Jin Rapid growth and immigration of population in city leads to the development of high-rise buildings, which in general contains isolated single function. We are exploring a future skyscraper that various kinds of urban functions, such as residence, commerce, office and transportation are highly integrated to become a micro city. In this situation, traditional MonoCITY will evolve to MultipliCITY. A generative algorithm is introduced to let the building automatically organize its complex functions according to urban light environment and program. The fundamental principle of the algorithm is based on vegetative phototropic growth, and the parameters include 'Programs', 'Interconnectivity among Functional Modules', 'Light Environment', and 'Relationship between Light and Functional Modules'. This design also manages to explore a bottom-up design method, by which the form and layout of the high-rise building is 'selforganized' through the negotiations between internal program and external environment.

07 Performance Center

Wusong Road

Road

This Performance Center is situated in central area of Shanghai where is quite congested and short of land. In order to create a lively public space in this area, the building is designed like a mountain landscape which can provide a large activity ground for citizens. It's not only a cultural performance center containing three different theaters but also a city park in this high-density area. The project is also exploring an issue of spatial continuity. By different kinds of manipulation on form, the continuity between building and urban context, between inside and outside, between up and down have been partly realized.

08 Shanghai Expo Museum Tongji University Site location: Shanghai Instructor: Qun Zeng Partner: Xiaoqin Wen, Jian Liu After 2010 Shanghai Expo, the government decided to build a new museum to commemorate this event as well as dedicate it to International Exhibition Bureau to record the history of Expo. Located in the Expo zone beside Yangpu River, this project tries to create an urban living room opening towards public space. In order to improving openness, the building volume is dispersed and lifted up to introduce platform and inner court which can make it more accessible to citizens. The museum also shows a form of aggregation to celebrate culture fusion and gathering and implies one of its main functions to collect the exhibits from all over the world in this event.

Wandering under trees with sunlight falling through leaves, people see the dancing light and shadow on the ground, which forms a type of natural contrast between transparency and opaqueness, pleasant and peaceful. The design intends to highlight and enhance this moving contrast, and create a space providing a new type of experience.
