MARS RUNNING TENT A LIFE-EXCERCING SUPPORT UNIT FOR THE MARS ENVIRONMENT In the future, travel to Mars will become relatively common.The In low-gravity conditions of Mars allowed people can achieve longer distancesto climb higher mountains. However, traveling on Mars can be dangerous also This project is to propose an inhabitable mobile hiking sheltertent for traveler on Mars, to protect them from  in the harsh climate of Marsand to have a nice experience enjoying the Martian sceneries., longdistance outdoor sports will inevitably require a shelter.

Completely different from the Earth though, Mars is still the planet that from certain perspectives shares the most similarities with Earth in the solar system. Analysis and contrast of the physical environment of Mars and Earth are as follows.

CONCEPTS The main component of the Martian atmosphere is carbon dioxide, which is extremely deficient in oxygen, similar to a vacuum.
The surface area of Mars is only equivalent to the land area on the earth, so the land available to humans is very scarce.
Astronauts there could lose a lot of the skeletal and muscle mass they developed fighting Earth's gravity.
Mars has an atmosphere which is creates winds. When these winds pick up the fine, dry particles of dust on Mars, a dust storm can occur.
The Earth's atmosphere and magnetic fields protect us from cosmic rays, but Mars itself has no fixed magnetic field.
SOLUTIONS
need a thermostat.
need an air converter.
need to reduce the land area.
need more exercise.
need a sheltered device.
need gas shielding materials.

ISSUES
The surface temperature of Mars can rise from minus 90° to 27° in one day. The difference in temperature is the most deadly factor of Mars.

FOREST IN CHUNGKING RIGHT-EQUALITY DEVICE IN TWO PARTS OF THE LIBERATION MONUMENT AREA In the area where stands the Liberation Monument class differentiation and format differentiation are rather serious problems, which can be attributed to the difference between vertical heights and relatively single way of transportation. This design therefore is to create a public space performing integrated functions by transforming the original grand staircase, so as to turn the barrier into a bridge between metropolis and its neighborhood, as well as a portal to the city.
Tutor:ChunHuan Guo Location:Chongqing,China Time:2017 Individual work Duration:1.5months
USER DEMANDS ANALYSIS
TIMELINE Lianglukou used to be a golden commercial area after the Liberation Monument was erected and the traffic fortress that connected all the regions in Chungking. However, unbalanced urban development has increasingly widened the gap between north and south parts of the city, rendering this place no longer as prosperous as before.

SITE ANALYSIS Located in the middle of the hinterland on Yuzhong Peninsula, the site is surrounded by old communities, retail stores and the end of Caiyuanba Railway Station. Hence, it is an important transportation fortress that connects the north part of Chungking. N
ENVIRONMENT Insufficient space; no public social space; low popularity
combining escalators and steps
boxes as extension of the interior space
Terraces are connected by staircase, elevators and other vertical means.
In the multi-level space residents can enjoy themselves or communicate with each other.
CONCEPTS
TRAFFIC Early as the construction of Crown Escalator started, the railway station had performed the function of excavation, accounting for the dramatic decline of traffic on site.
COMMERCIAL SPACE
STRATEGISTS
COMMERCE Business related to entertainment, motorcycle and hotel took up the largest proportion of commerce there.
STRUCTURE
Starting from a simple modular structure, it will construct an organic and informal architectural growth model.Basic shelves are combined to form a space, which itself is the form. However, since the space is literally constructed with a bunch of shelves, it may be used in different scenarios to provide different spaces.

STREETVIEW IN THE COMMUNITY The architecture as the whole is like a giant traffic absorber that not only keeps the memory about the original Crown Escalator, but also become a part of the environment so that those passing by Lianglukou will somewhat miss this place though they are in a hurry.
SECTION A-A Moreover, for those inside we hope that they can feel the best and most positive impact that architecture in a city surrounded by mountains could exert on people. Regardless of height and route, what is expected is an intimate connection between the structure featuring big height difference and the site, and thus to leave people more space to explore.

SYMBIOSIS LIBRARY IN THE “VILLAGE” This project is basically to build an “indoor plaza” that can accommodate various activities. More than a place for social interaction and independent working, it is a new idea about library that integrate the private space for those enjoying quietness and the public space for social activities, gathering, study, and hanging out. As a public building, it is also a civic park for residents in urban villages to entertain themselves.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
The traffic network at the site that is comprised of six longitudinal and one transverse roads matches perfectly with the natural terrain, forming a cross street pattern.
Architectures at the site were built in high density, As a result, streets and lanes are rather crowded and public open space is very limited. STREET
The exterior is supported by well-arranged steel structures, while steel pillars erected in proper density like different-shaped trees in the wild jungle support each floor.

All sides of the glass are supported and treated by an aluminum alloy frame, which can display a very obvious frame pattern and has a high safety factor.
Solid clay bricks reduce the weight of the external wall, are conducive to earthquake resistance, increase the area of indoor use, and are good for thermal insulation.

FORMULA OF LIFE SOCIAL DWELLING IN LONDON
In recent years, housing crisis in London has become increasingly serious. Hence, this design is about construction of new-dwelling system and restoration of public space, and thus to satisfy global demand for economical and affordable urban housing in an innovative and sustainable manner. With reference to the design of typical town house, the indoor layout should be rearranged to provide a series of flexible and flowing space, so as to increase the efficiency of space use and accommodate more residents.

SITE ANALYSIS
USER'S DEMANDS ANALYSIS
Each city in UK has its own council houses, so I chose two typical areas in London as construction sites where most tenants are poor and vulnerable people, such as the unemployed, single-parent families, and those suffering from mental illness. Substantially, this design is to break the vicious circle of the marginalized living together and help them to integrate into the society.

COMMUNAL SPACES
CONCEPTS
In the 19th century, the increase of urban population motivated the government to study housing issues and further to intervene.
After the Second World War, the British government to alleviate housing shortage strengthened its intervention.
In the late 1950s, UK adopted a mixed system that combines industrial and traditional methods in housing construction.
In recent years, the British government has shifted its focus to the development of affordable housing. step 1 self-built unit

MASTERPLAN
Although all the units in the building are small (6Mx8M), each of them is equipped with an adjusted bathroom, movable partitions, and wall fittings, so that users can arrange the layout as they like according to their lifestyles.
Shared space in the apartment building is transformed from a part of residence area. On each floor are randomly set up communication hall, shared kitchen, fitness space and audiovisual space, generating a three-dimensional pattern for public space.
In summary, the community is one hundred percent a flowing shared space, while people as going through public space, semi-public space and private space successively can find more possibilities to explore social activities.

RESIDENTS LIFE SCENE
This project is to speed up and simplify the construction process so as to pile or parallel bungalows and construct low-level but high-density residential communities. In doing so, residents are provided with the largest living space. Monomers are built on modular units constructed with concrete slabs, while prefabrication of openings of windows and doors, and toilet space can be prefabricated by customizing pillars ahead of time.
This project addresses the subject of housing from the angle of the room and the desassignation of spaces. Considering housing as a collection of rooms of identical size, freely networked, without hierarchy and without assignment, leads to an emancipated vision of living and human relationships.
