SUPER RESIDENCE FOR THE ELDERLY When the epidemic broke out, relatively closed gathering activities turned nursing homes into virus petri dishes. Elderly people are weak and vulnerable to attacks, and their quality of life and lives are seriously affected. Originally, there were abundant entertainment and social activities every day in the nursing home to relieve loneliness. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the nursing home seemed to no longer be a shelter. Danger. A large number of caregivers go out every day to carry the virus and become a source of infection. How to build a building that can quickly enter the suspend mode when the epidemic comes, and restore the good life of the elderly when there is no epidemic is what this course needs to consider and design. At the same time, with the blessing of new technology, the building can be quickly built through the modular approach and suitable for various venues, which can meet the future needs for nursing homes...

YOU ARE INFECTED. WE NEED TO ISOLATE IN "DINING ROOM"
DAILY LIFE OF THE ELDERS IN NORMAL MODE AND SUSPEND MODE The apartment is divided into two transportation systems. In the normal mode when the epidemic is not coming, the elderly use the normal traffic core, the main elevator located inside the apartment. When the epidemic comes, the main traffic in the public space will be closed to reduce crowds and congestion and achieve the purpose of blocking the spread of the epidemic. At the same time, the traffic core is divided into four parts, the elevator for transporting the elderly, the elevator for transporting nursing staff, the transport of daily garbage, and the material. Medical staff and the elderly have independent flow lines during the epidemic. Nurses enter the buffer space for disinfection first, and then enter the elderly community to organize groups to reduce internal and external virus carrying and exchange. The third feature is functional replacement. Units with different functions undergo functional replacement when the epidemic comes. For example, the gym becomes a testing room and the restaurant becomes an isolation room. Through the comparison of isolation modes before and after the epidemic, it is ensured that they can enjoy a good life while reducing the harm and impact caused by the epidemic. -7-

THE "NORMAL MODE"
THE "SUSPEND MODE"
The normal mode is an open community for the elderly, and public activities are carried out in the internal public space where the elderly are talking and laughing. The bottom two floors are returned to the city as open spaces, where city residents can move around, watch exhibitions, and chat with the elderly.
In the epidemic mode, the elderly who are healthy can rest on the ramp garden, seeing the beautiful sea view,and the infected can be treated in the testing and recuperation room after functional replacement. Public transportation in the center is closed to avoid cross infection.The gate in the group unit is closed to block the flow of people.
EVERY WEEKENDS WE CAN BRING OUR CHILD HERE TO HAVE FUN WITH THE OLDS.
PUBLIC SPACE IS SHUTTING DOWN AND THE RESIDENTS AROUND CAN NOT GET IN TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS.

The CALL Of The LAND Forty years ago, China had just reformed and opened up, people are not living in a good living conditions . People in the villages and towns have their backs to the loess and face the sky. They are self-sufficient,and live in harmony with the land although they are not wealthy. Later, with the rapid development of industrial society and economic development, people's living standard was greatly developed, but the process of urbanization was also accelerating at the same time. The scale of the city has expanded, large tracts of land have been used to build high-rise buildings, and a large amount of land resources have been over-developed. People have gradually forgotten the right way to get along with the land. They just ask for it, but they are rarely dedicate to the land selflessly like they were in the 1980s... In order to recall people’s memories, their feelings to their homeland, and recall people’s respect to the land, the photographer’s photographic works of people living in harmony with the land in the countryside in the 1980s will be exhibited in a specific “mountain” space where the scene is reproduced, and the exhibition space like the Danxia landform interacts with the exhibits. Visually and emotionally, it brings people back to the rural life of the 1980s in a multidimensional way, and feels the beauty and warmth between people and the land in the 1980s. Recall the past, reflect on the present...

By controlling and designing these four important influencing factors, people can have a better resonance and exhibition experience when watching photographers' photographs. The four factors influence each other. The photographic works are divided into five categories, strung together into a narrative line: childhood, youth, middle-aged, old age, reincarnation, corresponding to different stories, emotions and atmospheres. The five stages are from ignorance to growth to warmth to loneliness to destination. The theme of each photo is different, the size of the photo when viewing it, and the viewing point of view will give people a different viewing experience. Far or near, sitting or standing, the light may be bright or dark, and the space may be open or narrow, creating different spatial atmospheres. The internal flow and movement of the viewer is also very important. Whether to gradually rise or fall before entering each exhibition hall, pave the way for the next exhibition hall. The elements of each photo are different, and the extraction and translation into the space can enhance the interaction and feeling with the photo. Extracting the mountain in the photo, translating it into a soil slope, translating the rice field into the planting of rice in the exhibition hall, and simulating the light, shadow and scene in the photo can resonate. Photos, narrative lines, exhibition space, emotions and feelings are connected with each other.

The site is located at a corner of the mountain, with a Danxia landform on the south, with spectacular scenery. There is a road in front of the mountain, connects Jingbian County to the northwest. Visitors will take a car from Jingbian County along the main road.
The museum is an underground exhibition hall buried in the mountain. The previously analyzed spatial prototypes of five different spaces are inserted from the top of the mountain as the exhibition halls, forming the original main volume of the museum.
Optimize the shape of the exhibition hall, connect the five exhibition halls in series according to different elevations on the streamline and complete the streamline from beginning to the ending. The opening at the top of the exhibition hall meets the lighting required inside.
The interior of the exhibition hall is arranged to make the narrative line more complete and more substituting.The place at the top of the mountain is used as a viewing platformwhere visitors can look at the reality, recall and awaken people to live in harmony with the soil.
The part of the exhibition hall protruding from the mountain is surrounded by the outer shell ,as if it had grown from the ground. The overall shape simulates the Danxia landform, allowing the viewer to be on the scene and better feel the photographic works.

CONCLUDING
People in the country are getting older, depend on the land for life. While lonely and desolate, there is also a trace of dependence and concern.
Finally reached the end of life, returned to the original open land, back to the original starting point. Land is the place where our lives are nurtured, and it is also our home. It reminds us not to ask for it blindly.

The part of the museum exposed outside the mountain simulates the surrounding Danxia landform, which is natural and integrated with the site. Visitors can choose to enter the exhibition hall from the bottom entrance or climb directly from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.The exterior is painted with a gradient of yellow similar to the color of rammed earth.The building seems to be part of the mountain under the sunlight.
The End Of The Recalling After finishing visiting the photography exhibiton,people began to reflect on the relationship between man and land in their hearts.The stories recorded and carried in different exhibition halls brought people back to rural life in the 1980s.The moment we walked out of the museum, the magnificent Danxia landform came into view. The contrast between the exhibits and reality gives visitors a strong impact on both visual and psychological.Down the mountain along the mountain path, the feelings and reflections of visitors will not be forgotten for a long time...

Combine The Nature & Man-Made The volume operation of the building is the most basic architectural design technique. But in fact, many masters deal with complex design environments and requirements through simple and clear volume operations. The relationship between figure and ground,void and solid is also worthy of in-depth discussion and research. The voiod as an open space, an positive space and the nature, the solid as a closed space, a nagative space and the man-made. For example, the service-served space theory proposed by Louis Kahn is well explained this. In this subject, I use manual models to study a series of masterpieces that use volume manipulation, discover the law of mass operation, how to organize the exist and occupied space to form a rich spatial hierarchy. Through the production of hand-made models of different scales, do the research of how to use different materials and the logic of construction. Finally use the results in my subject design to connect the solid and the void, indoor and outdoor, combine the architecture and nature...

Transformation Of Figure-Ground Generally speaking, the positive shape of the building is the area occupied by the building volume, and the negative shape is the remaining connected space. But in this design, I operate the building volume as an negative space, and the remained negative shape is regarded as a positive space. This open,connected positive space can greatly connect the interior and exterior of the building, integrating the excellent landscape with internal functions,forming an interpenetrating space which can generate the phenomenal transparency, thus creating a high-quality space.
Project vision The site is located on a land with a height difference. In the future, a high-quality and characteristic homestay will be built in this beautiful village for tourists to rest and enjoy the scenery.Functions covering leisure and accommodation.

The courtyard forms in the center of the building , but the physical layout is too introverted which lacks connection with the external environment.
View The location of the site is excellent, with grass and courtyards on three sides, river landscape on the west side, and green planting along the bank. On the east side is the mountain landscape. Overall, no matter what the angle of view is, there always have a great view.
A zigzag courtyard is formed in the middle,, but the building is divided into two parts, and the shapes are not connected.
It forms external courtyards on three sides, and forms an internal courtyard. The inner and outer are connected,and the internal space is of high quality. - 27 -

Combine The Nature & Man-Made During the night time, slight yellow lights penetrates from the building into the surrounding courtyards, accompanied by the calls of insects and birds, visitors are resting in the public space, watching the surrounding courtyards, resting by the pool, and enjoying a short and leisurely vacation time. Architecture and nature are thus organically combined. The tranquil environment complements the quiet architecture.

People more likely to adopt the superficial and attractive information while the profound culture and history are always been overlooked... In order to change this situation, I conducted in-depth on-site investigations, discovered the existing contradictions, and come up with several strategies. to combine the culture and cyber-celebrity. I hope that through the reconstruction, more young people will pay much more attention to the declining culture, and to a certain extent spread interesting culture through the Internet, so that the culture of Sanxue Street will be revived and developed in future...

Xi'an, an ancient capital of 13 dynasties which contains rich historical and cultural resources has leaped to become a "cyber-celebrity city" with the rise of new media platforms in recent two years, become a online-celebrity scenic spot, waiting for the tourists’ quick consumption, like visiting, shopping, eating… These "cyber-celebrity culture" is updating too fast and lack of cultural deposits, but the rich historical culture which is really worth perceiving and disseminating has not been fully dug, so that tourists can not really perceive the cultural heritage of Xi'an. SanXue Street block, in the city proper of Ming dynasty, obviously has the contradictions mentioned above. SanXue Street has been a matter place for cultural education since ancient times. The Museum of Forest of Stone Tablets is the core of the block where exhibited culture relics like inscriptions of past dynasties. The neighborhood is full of culture which is deriving by the Forest of Stone Tablets, mounting, painting, seal cutting...

Types Of Conflict
Renovation At Urban Level
It must be hot on tiktok!
Shops are all closed...

The Closed Border The old city full of history in the city wall and the modern city outside are divided by the city wall, just like the border of the forest of steles is relatively closed, and is separated from the outside net celebrity culture.The lack of attraction of cultural transmission, the closing culture boundary, the inactivation of the carrier of culture, all cause the overlook of culture.
Conflict Of Manifestations The bar street is very lively at night . Young people like to get together and gather in the Internet celebrity shops to eat and drink. This is the feeling of youth, interesting and energetic, unlike the museums here. Unattractive and boring.
There are a lot of people on this cultural street, let alone the degree of understanding of the culture here. Young people today are not interested in culture anymore. There are too many new things, which means cultural and historical things are not attractive anymore.

After break the border, front and back become exhibition spaces while the middle becomes an open public space.
Tourists couldn't directly reach the places in the north after visiting the museum, so the east-west road is connected.
By opening up the remaining roads, all the streets in Sanxue Street can be connected in series to form a circulation route.
I hope that through opening the closed boundary, unchoking the cut-off paths, the culture will be able to be transmitted.
Point, Line and Surface Conflict Of Transmission Mode Everyone likes to gather in internet celebrity restaurants, shot some videos with them as the background and post them on the Internet. Netizens find it interesting and they come to travel. New things spread quickly on the Internet. Netizens love to share new things with netizens.
There are many collections in the Stele Forest Museum, but few people understand the meaning. The history of the forest of steles can only be sealed in the museum, there is no way to spread it out.It can't connected the inside and the outside.
Revive the entire Sanxue Street block
Select exist residents with courtyards to reconstruct
I prefer this cafe street!!
The history is disappearing...
Conflict Of Context
"The original courtyard here was finally demolished where people couldn't get in before, they didn't know what was inside, and the residents inside didn't look easy to provoke...So they demolished this place to be clean and relieved.
Strengthen the connection between streets
Sanxue Street contains thousands of years of history and the memories of generations. During this time, the relevant departments ordered the demolition of abandoned courtyards and residential buildings. A large number of aborigines were forced to relocate. - 41 -

Renovation At Architectural Level
PROBLEM Site Status
Most of the stores along the street are mixed with commercial and residential buildings where there is no space for artists to create and teach. Visitors can only buy calligraphy and painting in front of the store who cannot experience the true charm of creation.
Qinqiang performance requires a large space. The performers are subject to venue restrictions and weather factors. There is no fixed location to perform. Therefore, only a small number of loyal audiences can hear it, and tourists rarely experience the charm of Qinqiang.

Contradiction : Calligraphy & Painting Creation
Seal carving requires less space for convenient operation, but most of them are scattered in streets and squares. It is difficult for tourists to stay in the store and experience the process of seal carving. They can only purchase simply without deep perception.
The guest houses in Sanxue Street are generally the same as the hotels in the city. They have lost the characteristics of the old city. The unique Guanzhong dwellings are rarely known. Tourists also rarely have the opportunity to talk with local residents to hear these stories, let alone living together.
STRATEGY Combine the Culture & Celebrity
TEACHING + CREATING Calligraphers and painters can teach skills in the courtyard, and calligraphy and painting lovers can also create under the guidance of professionals.
LECTURE + CAFE
PERFORMING
DINING
HANDS ON EXPERIENCE
while holding lectures here, the function of a cafe is added, so that young people can listen to cultural lectures while drinking coffee.
Fans of Qin Opera can watch the performance in the middle courtyard , allowing the art of Qin Opera that is about to disappear can be passed on.
While watching the performance, fans can enjoy delicious Shaanxi cuisine and feel the enjoyment of visual and auditory taste.
In the seal carving studio, visitors can make and feel the process of seal carving by themselves, and carry forward the traditional culture.

HANDCRAFT SHOP After the production, visitors can take the seal carving works as souvenirs for secondary dissemination. There are also souvenirs for tourists to choose.
REGIONAL FEATURES

After the tour, tourists can check in the folk residencesto experience the locality and feel the simple regional characteristics.
Tourists have the opportunity to communicate with local residents and get to know each other, which is a rare experience.

Calligraphy & Painting Creation
Qin Opera Performance
Qin Opera, also known as Luantan, originated from Western Qin Opera and is popular in Northwest China. In Sanxue Street, a group of elderly people who love this culture gather in a Xiqu club, but due to the lack of space and no fixed performance venues, it is really difficult for them to maintain it. This transformation not only hopes to create enough performance space, but also hopes to attract the attention of young people, let more people know and spread this culture, and revive the Qin Opera.
"There are poems in paintings, and paintings in poems". In ancient China, poetry and painting were inseparable. Some artists who create calligraphy and painting hope that there will be enough space in the courtyard to hold exhibitions and to teach young people who love painting and calligraphy. In order to meet young people's need and make them want to participate in creation, the cafe is combined with creation during the transformation. Before Reconstruction

Seal Cutting
Local Homestay
Seal cutting is a traditional art in China, with a history of more than 3,000 years. In Sanxue Street, there are still a small number of hand-carved artists who are deeply influenced by the stele forest culture and pass on the technique of seal carving. Therefore, seal cutting needs more promotion, so that more people can experience how to seal cutting, so as to continue to pass on. During the reconstruction, the experiencing of the seal cutting process is combined with the purchase of handmade products to attract the attention of young people.Visitors can crave on their own and take away the artworks as a souvenir.
Guanzhong resident is the earliest residential building in China. After thousands of years changing, with its own unique and magnificent architectural style, it has become one of its own in Chinese residential buildings. In Sanxue Street, such dwellings are gradually decreasing, and I hope that the remaining dwellings can be reconstructed, so that they can reborn while preserving history. Converting residential houses into homestays allows foreign tourists to feel the locality of Xi'an, and live with local residents, feel the simple folk customs and enjoy the local food.
