建筑于我，建筑师于我
02 LOOK UP! THEATER AS TOWER
建筑是一种装置，建筑师是一种媒介。也有建筑师将建筑称为“机器” ，“容器”，“事件发生器”。总之，虽然所有艺术品都或多或少会与 观众发生交互，但因为建筑的社会属性，作为“艺术家”与“工程师”的 建筑师们明显也有更强的愿景，希望这个构造物可以带来更强的价 值。从提供原始住所到大型公建，建筑从何而来，又去向何处，成

LOOK UP! THEATER AS TOWER Modern Art Theater in Umich Campus, Ann Arbor, US
Taubman College Institution Studio | Fall 2019 THEATRUM ORBI | Instructor: Eduardo Mediero Individual Project Create an exciting moment in daily student life is the point of this project. The site is located at the central campus, just beside the power center theater, a performing art theater next to the power plant. Compared to its neighbor, this site seems to lack enough attraction to the passer. During the observation, not only because of the cluster of trees making it less recognizable, but also the circulation lack from the main road. So my goal is to create a new ‘architecture event‘ and connect and activate the surrounding red brick campus
tower comes into my mind. When students are always doing the horizontal route on campus, the vertical eyesight has been ignored. It could be interesting if the central campus could have a place where people could see the view from high. The bell tower only opens on specific days, and no other public building for the public to attend. It’s also interesting for the theater itself, not just to look inside but also look outside. The tower typology also contributes to the program sequence re-arrangement.

TYPOLOGY + “By typing the design of the theater into an existing architectural typology, the studio distanced itself from established. given associations and looked politically into preexisting reference.” _THEATRUM ORBI studio instruction
With the widespread use of steam-pumping after the industrial revolution, the modern water tower developed during the mid 19th century and became a part of public water systems. The typical water tower is including the water tank at a height and the support structure. By lifting the water tank at a height, the pressure would contribute to the water distribution system to transport the households’ portable water. The water tower is an industrial facility and a performance of resource distribution structures in a vertical form.

Early 21st century art color scheme: Back to the case study of “Standard Station“ by Edward Ruscha, we could see that in one way or another, early 21st art work could still be considered relevant today by bringing into the discussion topics about capital exploitation,manufacturing of domestic realms and social identities to hyper-consumerism or economic disorders. As theoretical science is always ahead of engineering, the fine arts is also a pioneer, compared to architecture, where a discipline is hard to define.

VERTICAL JOURNEY Rather than the conventional “penthouse” style theatre, the tower theater offers the vertical transit a performance experience. The figure movement distribution is set at the artificial color lighting system and could also be seen from outside. The territory between the front of the house and the back of the house starts to become ambiguous. To provide non-daily experiences, tower theater offers a flexible lighting system to fit different dramas’ needs.

FOR SABARMATI: THE DRIFTING BOX Gandhi’s memorial in Ahmedabad, India
Taubman College Proposition Studio | Wnter 2020 The city as a field of action | Instructor: María Arquero de Alarcón Individual Project
A black box will do a driting march along the river as a tribute to Gandhi’s time in Ahmedabad. In a city plagued by communal conflict, the box acts as a reflection of Gandhian non-cooperation and non-violence philosophy, and renders an alternative to the government plans for a worldclass memorial. In its journey, the box establishes non-intrusive connections with different riverside contexts, and projects the different sides of the city, as well as the observers’ minds. By challenging the selection of a permanent site, this project belongs to none and all at the same time. While
there is no strong output from the box, its silent and ephemeral presence reminds us of the very city as a field of action. With its slow movement along the river, the box triggers a surrealist encounter between memory and present, the city and her citizens’ imagination. After several months in its journey through the river, time disassembles the box and recycle the construction material, or making it sink into the river. The box that came to the river from far away, and comes back to it to enjoy a second life… But that is another story...

MEMORIAL SCHEDULE GANDHI’S LEGACY RIVERBED ACTIVITY
SABARMATI ASHRAM
SALT MARCH
Before the Sabarmati riverfront project, the river is seasonal. Thousands gather on the riverbed to listen to Gandhi speak during the dry season.
Gandhi set up the Sabarmati Ashram as an experimental community for swadeshi, selfsufficiency, where to against colonial industrialization.
To against the British colonial government’s salt tax, Gandhi and other 78 volunteers marched 388 km from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi to make this march a manifesto.
SITE STRATEGY RIVERFRONT ACTIVATION
SELF MATERIAL PRODUCTION
After the riverfront project, the Sabarmati river is no longer ephemeral and not energetic. The visual attraction could be created from events on river.
Using charkha to create yarn is a symbol to Indian indigenous industries and a way to get the community engaged in material production.
DRIFTING MARCH
Grab a handful of salt could be a statement. Drifting could also be a statement of non-violence, non-intrusive intervention.
WHY BOX: A MYSTERIOUS SQUARE AT THE STREET END
AGENDA MANUFACTURE
With the swadeshi spirit, all the materials would be environmentally friendly and have the community involved.
ASSEMELY
A modularized assembly system is designed for easy access to the public. The ashram would be turned into a construction site.
PERFORMANCE
The multi-function floating installation would drift along the Sabarmati and generate different interactions with different riverfront areas.
Memorial is not a building but an action. Gandhi returned to India in 1915, set up Sabarmati Asharam along the riverbanks. During the Indian freedom movement, the Salt March began from here on March 12, ended on April 6. The monsoon season usually starts in June and lasts three months.

As the city reflects its image in the river...There is no “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth;” with the non-cooperation, non-violence philosophy, what you see in the reflection is your own violent heart.
Slowly to... The box moves along the river, creating surrealist encounters between memory and present, the city, and the citizen’s imagination. Its presence brings a moment of pause and reckoning to daily life. There is no strong output from the drifting memorial, that the ephemeral nature of its fading presence.
FIRST MONSOON WEEK
After a month in its journey through the river, the box will get demolished. The bamboo and the hand-made fabric could be collected and have another life.

COMMON MADE
Artist residential community in Detroit, US Taubman College System Studio | Fall 2020 d3 + D | Instructor: Christina Hansen, Lars Graebner, Sharon Haar Team Project with Christy Wing Lam Au, Darcy Jiayang Wang, Jun Zhou
Common Made is a production ecosystem that provides residence, production woodshop, and exhibition space for the community to get social engagement. We are proposing this is a place made to be common, made up by the common people, to make something happen. We hope at the end. Common Made could become an attraction and also contribute to the urban views.
In Detroit, Even though the building may be demolished, its culture remains. Common Made is located at the intersection of E Jefferson Ave and E Grand Blvd. This site is the gateway connecting Downtown Detroit, the Riverfront Development Project, and Belle Isle. The two towers work as a landmark and aim to highlight Detroit’s cultural significance and to aspire the city as a precedent to nourish and empower the citizens through a production ecosystem living.

“COMMON MADE”
“CITY AS CANVAS” Though the site is at the gateway to the famous Belle Isle, no much attraction for the walkable route. The blur territory offers a good place for artists to be engaged in urban view. Compared to the random street art, an organized production community could be made.

SHRINKING IN FLAGSHIP STORE DESIGN
THE SHRINKING
Flagship store & in-store fashion show, Online Remixed project from: Taubman College Situation Studio + Sartorial Architecture | Winter 2019 Thanks: DJ, Peter Yi, Tsz Yan Ng Including part of the team project with Yiran Guo, Chole Cui It starts with a material experiment. The heat-shrinkable sheet material, like vinyl, could create numerous form variations with different skeletons. This flexibility form could fit from object scale, human scale, or to the room-scale.
Under the pandemic situation, more people choose to shop online rather than go to the store. Many fancy flagship stores are in an unactivated condition. This is also an opportunity to explore the relationship between merchandise and its context, the store itself.

SHRINKING IN SATORIAL DESIGN
Three different scale hexagons are selected to generate the pattern. Specific hexagon arrangements are designed on different sartorial function demand. Apertures create more spatial diversity.
Materials are manufacturing process are experimented to fit the human engineering as well as the conception about light and structure.

DESIGN AND RESEARCH OF TRAFFIC NOISE REDUCTION CEILING PANEL AT BALCONIES OF HIGH-RISE BUILDING
SIMULATION ON SOLAR THERMAL EFFECTS OF KIEWITT SHELL Harbin Institute Technology Graduate Thesis | 2016 Instructor: Prof. Hongliang Qian Individual thesis
OCCULATION FACTOR DISTRIBUTION
Following is 8.00am at summer solstice situation
Selected the span of 800m, double-layer spherical Kiewitt reticulated shell structure as the research object, established finite element model in the thermal environment of non uniform temperature field , considering the location and angle of the sun changes, bar shade and other factors, the preparation of large span reticulated shell structures of sun shadow analysis of special procedures in the summer and winter two conditions of sunshine field numerical simulation and numerical non uniform temperature field under temperature stress simulation of uniform temperature, obtained a large span reticulated shell structure temperature field and temperature stress in the summer and winter time distributiondeformation analysis, performance analysis and thermal control measures analysis.
SHADOW ANALYSIS Because of the large span of the structure large volume of the single member, complex occlusion relation and obvious thermal effect, the mathematical model of the occlusion relation is required to be accurate as far as possible.

This paper presents a design method of the noise reduction panel at balconies based on the one-way grid. Performance test method and optimized statistical approach are also illustrated in this study. By testing different panel cases with different source angels, and get the acoustic results by using acoustic analysis software. By analysis of this data, the panel denoise performance rules and the influence of the height of building could be recognized.

With the feasibility analysis, ten manually generated panels are tested about acoustic performance under the same balcony set. The result shows different results in interior noise. So more variations are valuable to study.
With more iterations, the results get better and some potential specificity factors are labeled as yellow.This provides the possibility to design a different kind of zigzag acoustic ceiling under different circumstances.
