Hybridize European Garden with oriental setting Master Graduation project / Study Center Design / Sep. 2017 - Jan. 2018 / Location: Waasmunster, Belgium Tutor: Mechthild Stuhlmacher, Philippe Vierin, Mauro Parravicini, Tom Thys / Solo Work Rethinking Roosenberg is the topic for the studio of the Architecture Interior Graduation Studio and we are supposed to extend the Roosenberg abbey to a academic facility. Rossenberg abbey is designed by Dutch monk architect, Van de Laan. From my point of view, this abbey is a nice project to react the relationship between human and architecture. But the nature is less considered. Garden is an important setting in monastic type. In this site, there are three existing gardens. The enclosed garden in the abbey, the extroverted grass filed and the wild forest. Buildings in these different natural environments coherent to the development of human attitude toward nature. These three gardense are connected by a continuous cloister which inspired by Chinese Suchou garden. I proposed it as a study and retreat center which hold by psychology faculty in KU Leuven. Roosenberg is a silent and remote place for effective intense study and deep relaxing with avoiding burn-out. These programs will fit to the characteristic of each garden.

BOUNDARY? -COMMUNICATE with SPACE in a student union design-

The boundray of space is just living in your imagnation. Academic Design Studio / Activity Center Design / May 2013 / Location: Beijing, China Tutor: Professor Du Shubo / Solo Work SPACE is the first phase of communication. In micro scale, communication need SPACE as a support. In macro scale, the space is the container of all thing in the world. Without space, things cannot connect with each other. This activity center aims to explore the definition of space. Traditionally, space means enclosing, but can space exist beyond a boundary? Back to constructions and users, we may live in a subjective world. It is also subjective and extend our view of spacial boundary. I want to talk about the uncertainty and explore the boundary of space via architectural language. What's more, it contribute the communication in this site.

CONTEXT
Back to site, the construction become the knot and connecter of site and surrounding environment. All ACCESS will cross, and various behaviors are connected, additionally, the sight also has some optimization. The communication space is extend to surrounding. And in the choice of material, the usage of Aluminum plate and glass can touch with surrounding buildings at utmost, and then, the material and boundary will be blurred.

DYNAMIC INTIMACY -Printlad in Rotterdam with routing-

Hybridize the Intimate craft with public Master Academic Design Studio / Print workshop Design / Sep. 2015 / Location: Rotterdam, the Netherlands Tutor: An Fonteyne, Philippe Vierin, Ana Rocha / Solo Work In this design, we focused on the public interior: the totality of spaces where the public life of the city takes place. These are the places where people meet, exchange options, enjoy social and cultural life and manifest themselves as citizens, in short the realm where society is formed and where people make a contribution to their environment, mentally and physically. We are looking for the potential of those spaces that reveal themselves only on second glance, where velocity changes and intimacy of spaces increases. This project is the interior of an existing building block on the edge of the centre of Rotterdam. It consists of a specific spatial repertoire but in its overarching form it is part of a certain genre of spaces, the back yard. It unites the back sites of the buildings on its border and is yet a space in itself. I want to create a dynamic intimate space and link different people's behaviour.

A CITY AS A FOREST - Urban design which is applied with L-system algorithm -
04
Hybridize computer algorithm with urban design Academic Urban Design Studio / Parametric urban design studio / September 2014 / Location: Liaocheng, China Tutor: Shubo Du , Team work In recent decades, many collapses of metropolitans force us to rethink about the urban strategy from modernism. Actually, the spontaneity of small town gave us many intrusions of urban design. We tried to think about the form founding which is driven by algorithm instead of top down design. In this studio, we simulated the growth of one nature object and test the application of this parametric logic in urban design. In my case, I chosen fractal leaves as my research object. Liaocheng, as a small city in China, the development shows the spontaneity of urban growing without a top down planning. We tried to understand the development and re-interpret this via L-system algorithm.

Inspiron
In mathematics, a fractal is an abstract object used to describe and simulate naturally occurring objects. The feature of "self-similarity", for instance, is easily understood by analogy to zooming in with a lens or other device that zooms in on digital images to uncover finer, previously invisible, new structure. The growth of leaves follows fractal. 参数生成控制实验

Preserve different culture with a hybrid architectural tool EVOLO 2014 Skyscraper Competition / Skyscraper Design / November~December 2013/ Location: Cairo,Egypt Collaborator: Wang Yawei, Jing Chunwei
The important phase of communication is time. Refers to time, it is easy to think about culture, and the past now and future of culture is a very good point for time. This design is paid more attention to the TIME of communication. Comparing with the past decades years, the humans have done efforts to protect the diversity of culture, beyond all doubt , the colorful culture has been more and more important, people came out from a lost state and pick up those forgotten life again. This may appears the other problem of the attitude to life, the Rock music, Buzz Lightyear, Routemaster, these are accompany with you, however, these normal thing may be disappeared someday, our life will leave more regret. Please reflect on the attitude to the endanger culture, the reasons of the disappearance may be the ignored attitude so that people forget efforts to preserve memory. The culture capsule is a great storehouse that everybody could join and put their culture into here, no matter whether the public or the minority. When we want to recall the past life in the future, these capsules could show our memory, for example early culture and the daily life. Please join into the culture capsule to retain our beautiful minutes.

FOUR MINUTES STREET - A Street which all the movement is powerbocking Hybridize street with future vehicles
06
Master Academic Design Studio / The why factory research and design / March 2016 / Location: Rotterdam, the Netherlands Tutor: Winny Mass / Group research and individual design Today, our cities are often congested and we spend too much time with traveling. We seem to have developed different desires and expectations of mobility, but our cities are mainly built upon a motorized and rigid transportation systems. These systems turned old and became insufficient and unsustainable. They are incapable of providing us a fast, efficient, sustainable, comfortable and healthy transit within the city. The Four Minutes Street studio imagines a city that is built upon high-speed and direct access and supply. It wants to develop a city that is entirely devoted to fast transit of people and goods. We choose one street in Rotterdam as a prototype and apply different innovate vehicles to it. In addition to the architectural and infrastructural components this studio aims to understand and identify the environmental, social and spatial qualities and benefits of various different transportation modes. In my individual part, I choose powerbocking as my vehicle. Behavior, speed, mobility and path is the key elements to study. The new street is optimized to adapt to the new innovative method of transportation.

What is the demography and program in the street? We define the bonding box of this street and analyze the movement. Program, mobility and demography are three important elements. We abstract all the program as visual data. There are 234 units in this street and each shares 504 m3 on average. By combining the program with demography, the average area per person is estimated. Totally, there are 3074 people in this street every day. 538 people living, 36 people working and 2500 pass through the street. Zoom into 538 residents, there are 168 single people, 51 couples (102 people) and 67 families (couple with two children, 268 people). 32 units contain single people and 159 units contain students/adults/ elderly (two or three people). And 43 units are prepared for family. How is the mobility in the street? There are three main vehicles in this street. Bike and cars with pedestrians. The movements can be divided to crossing, arriving(to a destination in the bounding box), leaving(from the bounding box to a destination out of it) and staying. In the peak hour (8:30 - 9:30 am), there are 307 cars, 517 bikes and 317 pedestrians. Considering the constant flux of vehicles and the length of street (382m), the gap of pedestrians is 15.7 m, bike is 28.9m and car is 97.6 m . In conclusion, the amount of vehicle in the steer (in one moment) is 24 (pedestrians), 13(bike) and 4(car).

Introduction of powerbocking The maximum bounding box is 1*0.8*2.4 meters. Horizontal maximum space 35 km/h. This determines the maximum turning radius which is 20 meters. Different jumping angles lead to jumping or running. The maximum jumping height is 1 meter with step 3.5 meters. And the maximum running height is 1.5 meters with step 3 meters. There are many methods to decelerate and acceleration. Not like cars, powerbocking depends on human power or the geographic movement. Based on the study of speed, the path of movement could be simulated. Material affects the deceleration a lot. The best material of deceleration is grass field. (deceleration time is 3.5 s from the maximum speed without more human power contribution). But the best way to decelerate is running or jumping into soft material. The movement will stop immediately. For acceleration, The best way of acceleration is running down via staircases.

The whole concept is one inner core surrounded by a big free space. It is located at a private traditional Japanese garden which belong to client’s parents. APL Design Workshop designed a 2 floor house for them 20 years ago. And now, the new house will be built next to the old one, facing to the garden. The material of facade reflects to the local material, skin of Sugi tree, which is also used in embassy house in Nikko. The rough material makes the house more invisible and humble in a garden. Considering life style of elder people, we make the house one floor without height difference. And all the dimension is adjusted for the armchair.

TANSPARENCY -Competition for China Philharmonic Orchestra Concert HallHybridize complicated urban environment with music. Internship Work in CHIASMUS PARTNERS / Concert Hall Design / Competition for China Philharmonic Orchestra, March 2015 / Location: Beijing, China Diretor: James Wei Ke / Team Work The recent global rise of The China Philharmonic is a typical example of China’s re-found cultural relevance on a world stage. For their new home, the future neighborhood is synonymous for mass pop cultures. We believe that the new building on this location can dramatically increase the symphony's opportunities for public outreach. To achieve this we developed a calm architectural personality that in many ways embodies the musical logic of tempo and atmosphere to create a memorable in and outdoor spaces. This set of optimized spaces for practice and performance creates a programmatically and structurally very rational building. With Functions organized in an interconnected manner, proportioned for daylight with tailored views, It is the purest expression on how our human body relates to the experience of enjoying live classic music. A building therefore with a clear recognizable rhythm, that is attractive to all our senses.

MOLECULAR -Competition for the R&D & Science Innovation Centre ShanghaiInsert innovative factories into a local context Work in KUIPER COMPAGNONS / Chemical Zone Urban Design / Competition, July - October 2018 / Location: Shanghai, China Diretor: Hans Peter van Schooneveld, Wouter Vos By making use of existing landscape elements and embedding of various building typologies an attractive working space is created. The concept is based on the characteristics of local tradition of claiming land from the sea and utilizes cultural landscape elements such as dykes and sea walls. The dyke is connecting the land and forest at the North with the wetland at the South. On this dyke the round buildings are designed through new architectural typologies inspired by molecular representations. Through this the design marries two identities - its genius loci and its scientific innovation activities - creating a new distinctive place. We expand the water purification labyrinth which is currently under construction. In the forest in the North new recreational functions will be offering an sustainable attractive living environment to the core. By winning the competition KuiperCompagnons is invited to further detail the design towards construction feasibility.
