PERSONAL STATEMENT Architecture is an organic life form that reflects the influence of time. In other words, it record the memories and feelings of people. I think the task of architects is to create meaningful places, to create space containers that carry memories and emotions, to help human beings live in, whereby he helps man to dwell. My name is Tiantian Lyu and I was born in Lianyungang, a fast-growing city in China. It is also the start of my architectural study. There, the development of the city seems to have been fast-forwarded. In my memory, the buildings were quickly replaced and updated. It is very common to see the construction process of the building: from the foundation to the roof to the decoration and finally being demolished. I have been studying urban renewal in an architecture office for an internship last year. And in there, through collecting historical and cultural information about old buildings and site research, I found that different buildings present different stages of life, some like a newborn baby, others like a teenager, and there are also some buildings like an elderly after being rundown by time. I gradually realized that the buildings have life and record time. Starting from the foundation, the building was built little by little, then it will be slowly eroded by wind and rain after completion. After many years, the building has not only recorded the time, but also recorded the memories of the people living in it and the stories once happened there. For me, making places for people to experience is much more important than making forms for their own sake. Architecture should not be cold machines for people. Instead, it should have an identity and a place in people's hearts. It is our primary role to uncover the potential for human experience rooted in fleshy humanity of ordinary people, and make places that are meaningful for them. Therefore, it’s necessary to pay attention to the changes in architecture over time and make places that are meaningful for them. I consider this process into three aspects: First, architecture should be a reaction and result of the past. Second, it is necessary to consider the context which will be impacted by time. Finally, when it is being built, the post maintenance and destruction also should be concerned. For the first stage, in my Xiaoxi Village renovation project, I found that although Xiaoxi Village has a long history and culture, the entire village is now declining through on-site research. Therefore, I aim to arouse the villagers' collective memory of Xiaoxi Village through design, and to improve the quality of life and environment of the village. I focus on the original features and elements of the site, such as the seagrass roof and unique processing and construction methods. These elements carry the emotions of the people who live there, which are unique and different from other places. The memory of the long history of Xiaoxi Village will be recalled by people who live in the space. In this way, content and history are embodied in architecture, and architectural and urban design also contributes to the extension of culture and the expansion of time of memory. As for the second aspect, I once participated in a studio that studied the lifestyle of residents in the City of the Dead in the north of Cairo, Egypt. There is a very interesting phenomenon: Many houses do not have roofs, with only pillars extending out of the floor. The reason is to set aside space for additional housing for the future marriage of children and the increase in the family population. This gives me in-depth thinking about the growth of architecture, just like a living organism that grows up, rather than being achieved in one step or overnight. So, when designing a building, it is necessary to pay attention to the time context and future possibility of building. The third aspect comes from experience. Anji has a long history of bamboo construction which is can barely be seen nowadays. Concrete has become the main material for buildings. And as we all know, concrete is an unsustainable material. Though most buildings are often beautiful when they are used on the first day. After the wind and rain erode, they are gradually destroyed and become construction waste. Therefore, I try to find a new construction material and in my sophomore year, I did an experiment on bamboo construction while I found that bamboo is a very natural building material. Buildings made of bamboo can return to the earth after being demolished without harm. However, sometimes I find something valuable in the destruction process: it's probably not a bad thing. A building eroded and destroyed by nature acts as a time recorder. Therefore, I designed a temporary building made of bamboo. A bamboo germinates, grows to become material, and then becomes a part of the building of the bamboo pavilion as a building material. Therefore, I feel that architecture is not just a simple man-made object, but a rigorous life in nature. It is also the time recorder of birth, growth and death. In the future I would like to study sustainable design aspects of architecture. During my GAP year, I went to the Green Building Design and Consulting Department of the Design Institute for an internship. The internship experience changed my design concept. I no longer just focused on the discussion of architectural space, but tried to pay more attention to the parts outside the building, such as combining with the architectural design from the perspective of economy and energy saving, in line with the concept of sustainable development. At the same time, I also want to study the patterns of the future housing and focuses on the key issues driving urban transformation and the role that architecture can play in enacting critical change. In fact, Lianyungang is a fast-growing city because of a large influx of people into the city. In the next decade, the population will increase from 12 million to more than 20 million. It means that the government has to solve the problem about how to make more people's lives on limited land. I think I'll start by studying the smallest area of housing. It's a topic of architecture and city, and I think studying in the University of Edinburgh I will learn more knowledge in this area, which is the main reason why I chose studying in the University of Edinburgh. I feel that studying at the University of Edinburgh can combine elements of design, theory, construction and art traditions with modern culture, learn contemporary construction design methods. It will be my honor if I have the opportunity to study in the University of Edinburgh.

different context. Each of them contains my perspective about "how to make places that are meaningful for them in deffirent conditions". From city to suburb, From rural to forest, the object of the problem involves fourscales of different sizes. l come up with the following four questions and try to respond with my initial feedback. 1. How to create more nature-filled open spaces that are urgently needed by Chinese urban students today? 2. What kind of libraries do we need in the future with changing lifestyles and the advent of the Internet? 3. How to realize rural revitalization in China through design,taking Xiaoxi Village as an example? 4. What attitude should people take towards building in the natural environment? For me,making places for people to experience is much more important than making forms for their own sake.Architecture should not be cold machines for people, but should have identity and a place in people's heart.It is our primary role uncover the potential for human experience rooted in fleshy humanity of ordinary people, and make places that are meaningful for them.

HOW TO CREATE MORE NATURE-FILLED OPEN SPACES THAT ARE URGENTLY NEEDED BY CHINESE URBAN STUDENTS TODAY?

In order to cope with the contradiction between the huge population demand and limited resources, high speed and high density have become synonymous with some cities in China. However, the urban population and building density of Suzhou are still increasing day by day, and living and working in high-rise buildings has become the daily life of the city. Leisure and even education in the city are brought into the sky. The intention of creating more open spaces filled with nature, something that urban Chinese students today desperately need, combined with the space limitations of the site, inspired a strategy on the vertical dimension to create multiple grounds, by separating the programs into above and below, and inserting gardens inbetween. The juxtaposition of the resultant upper and lower building, connected at the ‘middle-ground’ in various ways, is as much an interesting spatial strategy as a signifier of the relationship between formal and informal educational spaces in the new school. The ground floor of the building is elevated, and the ground floor is reserved for students as much as possible, while facing the city with an inclusive and open attitude. It can be a place for learning, and it can also be used as an activity space for exhibitions, greening, rest, and sports. The ground floor space of the campus is partially overhead, so that students can have unimpeded access on the ground floor of the campus, and promote the mutual penetration of the "virtual" and "real" spaces on the ground floor. The roof of the teaching building is designed as a space combining organic farms and activity venues, which not only gives teachers and students the opportunity to participate in planting activities, but also restores the memory of this land as a farmland. At the same time, the activity space is infiltrated into the daily life of students, which is convenient for students to socialize and exercise anywhere. Through the overall path of the roof, the teaching area at both ends and the playground activity area are closely combined to form the overall trend of the building group from low to high, and at the same time create more dynamic paths. Taking the playground as the starting point, and then combining the auditorium with the building, students can directly reach the teaching area through this path, while providing a place for different public activities to take place. In the context of increasingly scarce global resources and in a high-density and fast-developing urban environment, how to use land efficiently and create an ecological and vibrant campus environment for children is particularly important.

Location

Characteristics of Campus in the PAST VS.FUTURE

The project is located on the side of Qiufeng Street in Taihu New Town, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China. The west side is adjacent to Taihu Lake. The surrounding ecological environment is excellent and the vision is wide. The project is surrounded by a vibrant community.

In the past, the development of primary education in China was relatively backward, and the educational buildings constructed at that time only met the basic usage requirements. With the continuous development of innovative educational concepts in contemporary primary and secondary schools, we need dynamic and innovative architectural design strategies to adapt to it.

Diverse and distributed social spaces

Traditional Campus Model Public space is highly centralized and lacks mesoscale public space single type of scarcity.

Overlapping Campus Mode Decentralized public space Multi-scale public and semi-public spaces with various types of spaces, allowing social interaction to happen.

The overlapping campus adopts a time-sharing strategy to maximize the utilization of social resources. By studying the behavioral habits of students and surrounding residents, it can be found that the activities of the two groups of people are staggered. Therefore, the campus gymnasium, activity hall and other facilities can be opened to surrounding residents at night to realize social sharing of resources. 04

Architechture Design From March.2021 to July.2021 Location: Zhengzhou,Henan,China lndividual Work lnstructor: Jiantao Zhang

WHAT KIND OF LIBRARIES DO WE NEED IN THE FUTURE WITH CHANGING LIFESTYLES AND THE ADVENT OF THE INTERNET?

Today, the impact of virtual and digital influence is quite often celebrated through social media and other mediums, we live in a world today that aspires to be more connected and exposed. The role of public space is being redefined. No more traditional mono-functional spaces that allows one program to manifest, rather platforms that allows anything to happen is the real tool of design in the urban realm– place where different things could happen and different sections of society could meet. Libraries today are still functioning as a castle in a city, a place that holds books and allow readers to enjoy that moment. This project has the ambition of becoming a new model for media libraries.The programme calls the functions of a media library into question, lending it the content of a ‘third place’ – a place where members of the public become actors in their own condition, a place for creation as well as reception. In association with the basic programme, the building includes areas for displays, creation, music studios, and a café-restaurant. To give meaning to this new programme, it seemed necessary to question the way in which a place of this kind is produced. The various activities in the programme blend into each other, creating a dynamic arrangement. The spatial principle is based on a non-hierarchical superposition of different systems. The project explores new possibilities of how a library could become. For example,“Book + Shelf” is arranged and composed in the form of a lattice, which is converted from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional space composition, and connects the theme and interaction of the space. As with the two distinct environments, the scheme is characterized by open floors that connect library activities to nature and the city beyond, and compact floors that store a wide range of information formats and supporting functions. These open and compact floors have been organized as four pairs, thereby simplifying the public’s understanding of this large building as a home for all. Multiple environments for social interaction, reading, research, archiving, and public amenities are in this way distributed across these two distinct spatial types. The modern library is not only a place for storage and borrowing, but also a space where people love to stay, socially interact, to be inspired and surprised, effortlessly transferred from"reading to interaction" through the different scenarios. In future urban life, it will become a link connecting people with knowledge, experience, and creation. Within the city, it will explore the needs and possibilities of the community and stimulate the fresh vitality of the field.

Location

The base is located in the outskirts of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, and forms a university cluster with several surrounding colleges. At the same time, it is close to the residential area, forming a dynamic community spontaneously. Although far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this area lacks supporting facilities such as libraries, making it difficult to meet the daily needs of students and residents.

STRATEGY | Recreate a Multimedia Library

The Multimedia Library is not only a place for storage and borrowing, but also a space where people love to stay, socially interact, to be inspired and surprised.It can help guide the free growth of spatial pattern, thereby stimulating public social activities and bridging society.

SITE CONTEXT and PROBLEMS

SURVEY INTERVIEWS WITH TARGET POPULATION | Multimedia Library

The functional layout of the existing buildings is relatively separated and isolated, and there is no strong connection with the surrounding environment.

After on-the-spot investigation, it was found that it lacks places for students and residents to study, read, discuss, communicate, socialize and other activities.

The building is structurally simple: the main support structure consists of in-situ concrete columns up to the 3rd floor, and the mezzanine above is designed as a steel structure. The multi-shell walls, combined with double-glazed windows, prevent noise from outside and inside the building. The facade is surrounded by a cladding of sheet metal, the height of which increases upwards, so that the transitions between floors and different uses can be read. Uses Stack according to the desired room height to meet acoustic requirements. Above the entrance area on the first floor are individual rehearsal rooms, each with a height of 3.60 meters. The walls are formed here as floor-to-ceiling beams and absorb loads from the upper floors in order to forward them to the supports on the first floor. On the 3rd floor, where the supporting structure is mostly dissolved on the columns, there is a 4.80-meter-high registration rehearsal room. Finally, on the top floor, the center of the building is located under the shed: the rehearsal hall, with an average room height of 9.60 meters. In order to have adequate room acoustics and to distribute the sound evenly, ceiling sails were planned on the one hand and soundabsorbing curtains in front of the walls on the other. The cladding walls are geometrically structured to avoid echo effects and allow for melodious reversible temperature control.

03 RENOVATION OF XIAOXI VILLAGE

Gold Award (1st place) in the 10th China Weihai International University Student Architectural Design Competition Architechture and Urban Design From May.2019 to September.2019 Location: Weihai,Shandong,China Group Work with Ruiming Wang Role in Team: Conceptual Design(85%),Technical Drawings(95%) lnstructor: Chen Chen

HOW TO REALIZE RURAL REVITALIZATION IN CHINA THROUGH DESIGN,TAKING XIAOXI VILLAGE AS AN EXAMPLE?

China's rural construction mainly relies on top-down industrial planning. As in many other parts of the world, this way of building has brought modernization and a significant improvement in living standards to the countryside. But at the same time, the historical, natural and cultural heritage accumulated in the traditional way of life has also been destroyed to a certain extent. In the past, large-scale rural planning around the world has mainly adopted planning methods based on industries and materials, or driven by narrow market interests. Both of these methods are in urgent need of innovation. It is clear that a new generation of young people wants new forms of interaction with the countryside. Besides convenience and comfort, the "real" immersive experience and the resulting memories are paramount. To achieve this goal, we need to think further about this global issue: how should rural planning go in the future? I feel that as an architect and city builder, it is my duty to devote myself to this cause. Therefore, I will try to propose my solution strategy by taking the renovation design of Xiaoxi Village in Weihai City as an example. In the early stage, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of various factors of the base through field research, At the same time, we conducted research on a large number of historical materials, sorted out the historical context, and extracted the cultural core of Xiaoxi Village. An ancient village regeneration strategy based on immersive experience.The immersive theater experience area "JING HUA SHUI YUE" connects businesses with immersive theater methods, drives the development of cultural industries with immersive theater methods, and takes local theater as a spatial narrative clue to take you on a tour of the sea grass house.You can make DIY special ethnic art, and live in Jiaodong B&B, andexperience the simple fishing village life and add bright colors to your life. Break the narrow market interest-driven mechanism and focus on promoting the characteristic culture of Xiaoxi Village. Through immersive drama, a new generation of young people will have a new interaction with the countryside, a "true" immersive experience and the resulting memory, and finally link a new collective memory.

We came from afar to Xiaoxi Village, where we watched the ebb and flow of the tides and experienced the style of the coastal town. We watched the rising sun and the setting sun here. We quietly enjoyed this peaceful and relaxing time. Come to Xiaoxi Village, live in a house made of seaweed.

LOCATION ANALYSIS

HISTORICAL RESEARCH

SITE CONTEXT

Xiaoxi Village is located in the north of Rongcheng City. It is backed by Huanhai Road. It is adjacent to Wenshitan Forest Farm in the south and is known as "natural oxygen bar".

The village was built during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years.

The site conditions are analyzed and researched from the following six aspects.

Since the Song Dynasty, the fishing village of Rongcheng, Weihai began to use sea grass houses as roofs. Shandong Province

OVERALL PLANNING AND DESIGN SCHEME From the perspective of economic benefits, it is proposed that the commercial circulation must be extended as much as possible to eliminate the space at the end, and the overall linkage can increase the time people stay in the park. It also designs the business model of Xiaoxi Village, and proposes the following three strategies.

Strategy 1: Xiaoxi Village Lu ticket is a gun (collecting medals, po stamp)

Through the joint ticket system, the seaweed house, business, accommodation and entertainment are connected as a whole. The introduction of entertainment, leisure, homestay and other business formats will significantly increase the time people stay in the park, thereby improving efficiency.

WHAT ATTITUDE SHOULD PEOPLE TAKE TOWARDS BUILDING IN THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT?

For a long time, the pursuit of the three principles of aesthetics, practicality and solidarity has never stopped, but the systematic transformation of structural forms is still in its infancy. The problems caused by uncontrolled mining and misuse of building materials. People are eating their own fruits, and the ecological and environmentally-friendly local natural building materials such as bamboo have become more and more prominent: it is enough to build a new type of holistic and sustainable building structure. At the same time, the regional culture, modern technology and practicality are perfectly integrated. The base is located around the Shishi Reservoir, with a wide lake and bamboo forests all over the mountains and fields, and the scenery is very good. However, due to the lack of shady trees and supporting facilities for residents to rest and stay, the utilization rate of this area is extremely low. The surrounding residents only gather around at night, and most of the other times are road tours. We hope to provide residents with a shaded stay space by inserting a bamboo-structured landscape pavilion. It has the composite functions of hosting small events, enriching the tour experience. It can become a landscape landmark. The bamboo-structured landscape pavilion stems from the excellent stretching and bending characteristics of bamboo itself. The curved bamboo itself can naturally form a three-dimensional enclosure of the space and can provide shadows and shadows. On the one hand, as an independent landscape structure, the bamboo pavilion provides rich spatial experience and a symbolic image, on the other hand, it integrates with the surrounding environment and becomes a rest service package. We try to find some new methods to explore contemporary hand-making construction based on traditional methods of bamboo techniques. Also we hope to develop bamboo structure as an important architectural type in country life.

ANALYSIS OF BAMBOO MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS Since ancient times, bamboo has been using for artifacts, also it has been endowing with humanity feelings. The advantages of bamboo are growing fast, hardness and easy to process.

ln this bamboo-structured landscape pavilion, you can experience 5 senses,TOUCH,TASTE, SMELL,SOUND,SEE. In the TOUCH room, you can feel the feel of bamboo with your feet. TASTE room serves local tea. Then, at the SMELL room, enjoy the scent of local plants and flowers.In the SOUND room, you can enjoy the music played.See room offers lake views. Each space is gently partitioned by a sudare, and people in each space can feel each other's presence.

Bamboo- A species for every climate Between 1,200 and 1,500 species of bamboo have been found thus far and they grow all over the world.

That’s why we choose “bamboo” as the most important natural material. We try to find some new methods to explore contemporary hand-making construction based on traditional methods of bamboo techniques. Also we hope to develop bamboo structure as an important architectural type in country life, agriculture and landscape architecture to meet people’s requirements of back into nature.

By making handmade models to study the space, I explore the expressive power of bamboo in architectural design. Also I consciously pay attention to the construction method and the influence on the design, I also learn the design method of "material → construction → scene". Architecture exterior space ■

A PASSIONATE TRAVELLER DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY IN THINGS AND PLACES

Travel is my excellent way to experience real things, places and people in context. Like Jane Jacobs, I preler to observe how people use the space in real life rather than blindly believe the orthodox of what is the conect city form.I learned through my body and heart by touching the rough concrete, smelling the gentle scent of wood and feeling the warmth of light.I also enjoyed sketching and taking photos during the trip;discovering the beauty of ordinary things like a doorknob or a window and probing the impact of human habitation on geometrical form, to uncover this kind of humble beauty of real things.
