Brief Introduction: This design provides a semi-self service camp for urban backpackers who are eager to return to nature. The site is occupied by single or grouped units and the relationship between buildings and environment is carefully investigated. Also, the disturbance to the fun of climbing is reduced to the least. Also,Optional construction for single building should be taken into consideration.

¡Fengfei Tai, located on the ridge of the mountain which used to be an observation tower during war period, seems to be the destination for everyone who want to enjoy great sightseeing in the mountain.
Some abandoned old buildings are considered to be tourist landmark.
Vegetation in the ridge is obvious lower than the south side. Road here is unpaved and narrow. Although the scenery is beautiful, most tourists would not come here.
As the highest peak in the urban area of Wuhan, Yujia Mountain is located in the north of the Huzhong University of Science and Technology, with an elevation of 149.5meters and a total area of 1.89 square km. Because of the special location in the university, Yujia Mountain does not exploited much by the government, so it keeps a relatively intact natural appearance and there is not much visitor. It’s nice for the backpackers to stay and enjoy the nature here.
Although the mountain has a small covering area, it has already appeared different characters influenced by the climate and human factor. Thus, the field investigation and site selection are supposed to be intensive part of the work. This page shows some important elements of the mountain abstracted and recomposed by me. The sketching is used to enhance the essential part of the pictures. This area is close to the noisy road. There are three small buildings along the only paved road in the mountain. The unpaved road here is wider. The south side of the mountain is exposed to the sun and also faces the university. Trees here are obviously high and the land conditions are suitable to build.
This is the living area for park rangers, tourists return from here. The south side of the mountain is the residential quarters of retirees who are the main visitors now. University market provides various services and is within half an hour walking distance from the entrance of the mountain. It is part of the safety net for camping.

Conform to the topography, guide the horizontal transportation along the contour line and connect with the vertical transportation. Reduce felling of trees, keep the original state of the mountain forest and at the same time, make use of its convenience of sunshading in summer. Form small units with mutual correlation among single units; pay attention to the rational control of distance between small units. The service center faces forward the main road to the mountain, playing a commanding role.

I selected the frame construction to make one set of the possible structure and chose local preserving timber as the material. The bottom of the building is lifted away from the ground to avoid decay of the material in damp environment and to better-fit changes of the landform. The load-bearing column should not only bear the vertical force, but also the deflecting force caused to resist the deformation of the whole shape. Tenon-and-mortise work and iron installation fastener are used to keep the whole structure. This kind of joint is easy and flexible to match the design.

I thought it didn’t make sense to build such a camping site in the city at first, but after deep research I changed my mind and devote all my passion. I was really eager to know if it means something to the potential user as we supposed, so I explain the design with my drawing to some of them. Their responds extremely inspired me.
“It would provide us a convenient place to help us improve our camping skills and basic survival skills. We are glad to be your first gue st!”
----- Climbing Club of HUST
“I really want to have a try to live in mountain but it’s hard for me to stay in the rural area for a long time. Living here is a good choice.” ------A retired professor of HUST. “It sounds attractive to live in mountain in the weekend after tired work without driving far away!” ------ Some of the visitors
“Maybe we can extend the period of this design curriculum combined with the Building construction and Material and maybe build a real one.” ------One professor from our school
“We can live here to finish our geological surveying continually and effectively!” ------ a student from China University of Geosciences
Thanks a lot for the kindness above. Maybe someday, I can fulfill this small building and my not small dream.

Brief Introduction: This case aims to design a community library in Tanhuali taking into consideration the investigation and experience of the region’s historical background, the current environmental situation, the cognition of spiritual wealth and the humanistic feelings in its protected area. Tanhuali is situated in the core area of many excellent historic buildings. The design must balance the relation between them with respects to sight, volume and material in hopes that respect to historical architecture can be recalled.

Background：
Site plan:
Strem of people: within 5min walk distance
Tanhuali is the epitome of Wuhan’s modern culture. Tanhuali is directly affected by Wuhan’s well being. Around 1960, new China experienced the ideological turmoil. Tanhuali, which stands for national “humiliation,” suffered destruction. Numerous uniquely built structures, which combined both Chinese and Western characteristics, were forced to be demolished, a very regrettable decision. After 2000, the government published a series of protective policies and as a result, many pseudo-classic buildings have been built. Since 2005, due to Tanhualin’s unique cultural atmosphere, citizens have gradually developed it into a cultural business street.

(The only open new café has an invisible wall for its high fees.) ④ terrible conditions.

Brief Introduction: In this design, we were asked to design a highrise office building in the secondary center of Wuhan. This design tackles the terrible congestion in this area and utilizes the climate character to create a sustainable strategy. Adding a ventilation channel in the tower will accelerate the ventilation rate. The entrance of the channel is set in the bottom floor of the tower facing the summer wind and the exit is arranged in the higher floors toward the direction of minimum wind pressure. Cooperating with the special facade and its mobilizable siculation layer, the channle may have a better effect on adjusting temperature of the whole building.

Brief Introduction: This design is focused on a residential building for people in Enshi, Hubei. Combining the advantages from both traditional and modern residential buildings, this project strives to provide the client with a comfortable home by considering his or her wishes, the culture elements, the climate, the convention and some substantial strategies. The project can also be spread and applied to the other terrain of this area due to its flexible compound mode and good cooperation with mountainous regions. This design solely shows one possible result decided by both the architect and customer.
