Rolls-Royce Museum
[CRITIC] Xiaohong Wang / Zhi Qiu [TYPE] Reconstruction
ROLLS-ROYCE MUSEUM This program, based on a cultural understanding of Rolls-Royce and cognition of the old factory construction, I tried to combine the cultural ethos of Rolls-Royce with the old construction to bring new vitality into the abandoned building. Both the external and the internal design closely adhere to the brand's theme, “you belong to me, I belong to you.� No matter the relationship between the new construction and the old one, or between various exhibition halls and the old walls in interior spaces, bothe of them deliver the merging of the industrial sense of the old construction with the noble exquisite temperament of Rolls-Royce.
Top View Perspective
The site is located in two ordinary old plants of Shougang, the center area of the original Shougang region. The current scope of the base to be designed includes an L-shaped volume connected through three old plants and a large area of the lawn on which old colonnades with full industrial sense are left behind by the old plant.

Student Center in Central Academy of Fine Arts This project seeks to link the student center with the indoor stadium, and in which both constructional requirements and urban functions are taken into consideration. The concept is to treat all architectural problems in different aspects as a whole one and solve the problem with one effective structure system. Through the whole constructional system to create new experience of spaces and to fit the spectial functional requeirments.

Step 1: in order to accomplish the honeycomb shape of a regular hexagon, six small wooden articles of the same length are connected to each other. Step 2: Tile one regular hexagon that has been obtained on the other in a horizontal plane. Step 3: For the second layer of the hexagon: Make sure that the central point of the second layer of the hexagon is aligned with the intersections of the lower layer of the hexagon. Lay them out successively next to each other. Step 4: To create the third layer of the hexagon, make sure that the central point of the third layer of the hexagon is aligned with the intersections of the second layer of the hexagon. Step 5: Connect the eight regular hexagons in accordance with the certain angle, thus forming a dodecahedron.
Step 6: Take the dodecahedron as a unit. Connect the two regular hexagons in each two dodecahedron when they are fitted. Step 7: Connect a plurality of dodecahedrons in this way to form a general volume with a stable structure. If more dodecahedrons are linked in this way, a structure is constructed with various units which have a stable structure and extremely rich spatial relationships within it. Perform research by taking a thin paper sheet on this structure; conclusions can be obtained that this structure is different from the vertical spaces due to its well-executed proportions and sense of rhythm that give users a distinct feeling of space.

The function distribution of the second floor is transparent, without many partitions. The facade of the second floor is composed of a glass curtain wall, providing a transparent space through which sunlight is able to shine from the vertical space to the first floor. The third floor is the corridor suspended in the air, which is enabled by the overall structure of the design. Therefore, students may feel as though they are being shuttled through various floating spaces.

[CRITIC] Huanyu Wang [TYPE] Educational construction
High School of Fine Arts The site is located in the 798 Art Zone in Beijing. To meet the requirements of art education, the spaces suppose to be inspiriting and with adequate day lighting. This program start from negative space, through analysising the relationship between diverse courtyards and entities to create a unique space for art students. There are various kinds of relationships between the L-shaped blocks. Multiple negative spaces enclosed by L-shaped volumes serve as courtyards which provide different exhibition spaces.

SITE The site is located within the 798 Art Zone in the Dashanzi Business District. Originally used as industrial bases, the old plants from the last century are retained in the 798 Art Zone. After having been abandoned for a long time, artists turned this abandoned area filled with industrial atmosphere into a new carrier of modern art. 798 is now the largest art park in China, attracting artists to set up their own studios there and to attract tourists from all directions. It has made a great contribution to the popularity of art in China and to the improvement of the broad masses’ appreciation and comprehension of art.

Garden Housing
[CRITIC] Yong Su [TYPE] Resident
GARDEN HOUSING The site located at the center of Beijing, surrounded by residential areas with complete facilities. This residential area is a well-designed community that was built in the 1960s. This area is not only used by single adults, but also young couples as well as the old people and children, who also require a space devoted to their daily activities in addition to the habitable space. In accordance with the concept of the Garden Housing Program, a public space is built in each unit. Meanwhile, the bridges "in the sky" also close neighbors and reduce the indifference, a product of modern society.

Horizontal City The UnitĂŠ d'Habitation was completed at a time when the United States had administered 15 years of Public Housing development in this regard the UnitĂŠ scale is of course quite small and its results very experimental. Analysis structural and material techniques through GSA of the original building. Based on the situation of the site- Fort Lee and current housing conditions I decided to transforming the vertical city to a horizontal city which could support every unite has ample sunlight and good view of the sky and the "city" also provide some parks connect people from urban life to the nature.

Architecture without Content Architecture without Content return to the center of the city and investigate the potential of these enormous buildings as data center if they would be located on Roosevelt Island. Architecture without content reconnects to Venturi’s concept of a difficult whole. The diffcult whole is not a group form, not a mere collection of elements, but a formal strategy that seeks for a cohesive compostion of parts through inflection.

In this program, I propose to bring human architectural designs to life as dynamic systems. Transforming the complex process of salamander limb regeneration from biological rules to architectural rearrangement, in this way, the contemporary architectural problems could be solved and improved. Blocks exist as unites in New York City, but some of them cannot adapt the requirement of the urbanism. Follow the biological rule, a block can regenerate to a better unite.
