Plug-in Stadium Re-conceiving the Urban Stadium 2016.9-2016.12 Cooperative Academic Work

Stadium is a huge presence in the city, and its gigantic walls block public. In this project, we wanted to weaken the existence of walls, redefine walls, and re-conceive the urban stadium. We came up with several typologies that can separate space and keep the function of walls, those typologies make space physically separated but visually connected, thus weaken the existence of walls.

We continued our experiment by lofting the section of those typologies, and lots of new possibilities of space emerged.

Bryant park, located in the central of midtown, Manhattan, next to which stands the NYC Public Library, is an excellent choice for site. There are 2 subway lines crossing each other under Bryant park, and the stack of NYC Public Library is also underneath Bryant park.

Collage Community Museum Design 2014.3-2014.7 Individual Academic Work

�By combining separate scenes in a certain sequence, the significance of them will be much more enriched than solo ones �

And as a community history museum, the very responsibility of it is to record the change within this period objectively and faithfully just like a documentary. This design combines Montage method with the en-framed scenery methodology of traditional Chinese architecture design, linking the complex and collaged scenes and the navigation of the museum organically, which enables viewers to appreciate the outdoor scenes frame by frame just like watching an old movie.

Utopia This affordable housing residential area is basically serving the low-income/no-income group, low productivity, severe security issues, low efficiency of space using are the basic problems. This new typology is aiming at increasing the security condition, refining the space, and most importantly, changing the living mode of the residents, and provide them work opportunities.

Life on Pedlar Dwelling Design 2014.7-2014.9 Individual Academic Work

In the rapid process of urbanization, there are still some backward zones in the city, most of which are constructed by the dwellers themselves. Lacking the macro control, there are many problems and contradiction left over by history in the buildings. I chose one building in the shanty town, which has the sharpest conflicts, to design and reform, to express my attitude and opinion towards this urban phenomenon. This attitude is based on the city research at a macro level, and finally settled in practice and specific design. I hope to propose such a method to solve the problems and relieve the contradictions.
