1. ROLLS-ROYCE MUSEUM [CRITIC] Xiaohong Wang / Zhi Qiu, Undergraduate 2012 Spring, Studio, Individual Work

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.

2. Student Center in Central Academy of Fine Arts [CRITIC] Yufang Zhou, Undergraduate 2011 Spring, Studio, Individual Work

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.

3.High School of Fine Arts [CRITIC] Huanyu Wang, Undergraduate 2010 Fall, Studio, Individual Work

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.

4.Northeast Electricpower Attemper Center Building

Northeast Electricpower Attemper Center Building is located at Hunnan District in the city of Shenyang.

This district, a developing area, has been the selectied as a key program by the government and has been the new traget for developers. This building includes three parts, the main building, associate building and service building. To keep the great view of river three buildings forms to a centripetal curve.

5.Urban Costruction Institute This is a concept design about a campus planing.

Urban Costruction Institute, as a selective school in northeast of China, needs a better campus environment and more spaces for its future development. The new campus is located at the town of Shuang Louzi, where is the surrounding suburb area of the city of Shenyang. The site originally was farm area. There are three parts of this concept design, it concludes campus planning, architecture design and lanscape design. In this program, I was concentrated on architectural part of design, and especially duty on the building of library.

6. Horizontal City [CRITIC] Michael Bell & Zachary Kostura Graduate 2014 Spring, Studio, Individual Work

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.

The project will focus on the crafting of custom components in pursuit of an iterative and flexible system for designing. We focus on modifying the existing building around Washingtion Square and re-imagining a new design at both the component and the building levels simultaneously.

8. Architecture without Content [CRITIC] Kersten Geers & Andrea Zenderigo, Graduate 2013 Summer, Studio, Individual Work & Group Work

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.

9. Cornucopia [CRITIC]Brigette M Borders & Mark Allan Bearak, Graduate 2013 Fall, Parametric Realization, Group Work

This project look at the process of generating parametric algorithms then turning those models into physical realities. Firstly design a fruit bowl which is the physical realization of the scripted protocol and then fabricate the product with spectial materials. Cornucopia is a flexibla fruit bowl which can change its shape depends on different fruits.
