Originally belonged to the Kulangsu campus of Fujian Academy of Arts and Crafts, the building is on the south east corner of Kulangsu Island of Xiamen, near the third busiest pier of Kulangsu Island. It was laterly transformed into a private owned hotel and went bankrupt eventually. Thus before the renovation the condition of the building was quite bad and unmaintained, along with many problems of space quality.

The facades facing the landscape in this design are also important display and entrance ones, including the south one toward the sea and the east one toward the woods.
However, the volumes on the east and south sides of the existing building are chaotic and fragmented. The variety of roof forms makes the facade extremely discontinuous and uncoordinated, and the height of some roof eaves is too low to affect the experience of hotel rooms. Windows are of various shapes and illogical, and some of them on the landscape facade are too small to restrict the view.
The first thing to emphasize in the design is the ‘frontality’ and orientation of the east and south facades, transforming them into a continuous and orderly display surface.
As for the roof, because some of them are extremely inconvenient to use and in disrepair and leaking, it is reasonable to rebuild not only visually, but also technically. Therefore, most of roofs is changed to single slope ones, which emphasizes the orientation and leave space for pipeline and equipment on the inside.
As for the windows, the design unifies shapes of most. On the south side, due to masonry structure, in order to avoid high-cost structural transformation, it is only enlarged in height. On the east side, the beam-column structure is more flexible, so larger windows are partially used.

Kulangsu Island is a place with a long history and a blend of various cultures. Therefore, we refered to a lot of local architectural elements in the project. The most notable of these are gable walls and washed stone facade techniques. In the ancient Gulangyu dwellings, these gable walls acted as firewalls, in the design, they were used to reinforce the structure and enhance the order of the facade. At the same time, when most of the new hotel rooms are two old hotel rooms combined into one, these gable walls also imply the separation of new rooms.

A critical issue for the existing building is that only a dark and narrow corridor connects the two volumes. In order to strengthen the connection between each other and enhance the sense of order and atmosphere of the atrium, colonnade is set on the outer periphery of the atrium for reference to the form of arcades in the buildings of Kulangsu Island. The colonnade is a steel structure, indicating its identity as an addition. For one side of the atrium, the steel structure is used as the structural reinforcement of the original aisle, while the other side is an added structure, which forms a canopy on the first floor while adding a new passage and forming a circular circulation with the original.

Red brick is an important building material of southern Fujian culture. The pipelines of air-conditioning equipment are hidden by sandwiching walls, and the hollowed-out clay bricks are used to ensure the demand for ventilation. Through such a design in the lobby and restaurant, the height of the ceiling can be greatly reduced, and the height of the already tight space can be maximized.

As an important node and start point in 'Kunshan's chain' tourism area development , Yuanjiadian village have great natural landscape but lack of service point which let tourist stay and rest. Thus, local old village committee center, for its important location, was selected to be transformed into the tourist center. We tried to made the original monotonous cold white building become a welcoming center with local rural taste and neat sense of order.

The northern part of the site where the village committee is located is the main traffic lane and a large fish pond wetland landscape, which made the north facade an important display facade. The south is the main walking route and jogging track, and there are large squares for various activities. As the starting point of the Kunshan Chain tourism area, the tourism center serves multiple groups, including tourists, runners and local residents. In the same day, a variety of activities and behaviors may occur in this building and its surrounding sites, so we need to plan different functional spaces for its refurbishment.

In the functional change of the first floor, we put in the functions most commonly used by tourists and locals, namely restaurant and bistro. The kitchen and restaurant are on the west side after the reception, while the relatively independent volume on the southwest side is the bistro. In addition, since the square in front of the south facade of the building is an outdoor space for various activities of villagers, so, the room on the northeast side of the first floor are arranged as a multifunctional activity space accordingly.
On the first floor of the original building, independent of each other, so that each the entrance or semi-outdoor corridor functions. This results in a lack of common the renovation removed some room partition some large rooms, expanded the toilets, outdoor corridor indoors, still serving as the entrance, forming a semi-outdoor space entrance so that visitors do not face

The north facade faces the traffic lanes that mainly pass through the site, so it becomes an important display surface. We tried to make it more orderly and at the same time improve the cold concrete texture of the original facade. Brick, a material widely used in the village, is applied on the overhang of the facade to bring some warmth. In other part, in addition to increasing the insulation layer to improve the comfort of the building, we use concrete decorative columns to unify the window modulus to strengthen the order of the facade.

For the whole building the roof needs to be rebuilt due to poor insulation and water leaking. Therefore, wooden materials are used in the reconstruction, besides being easy to obtain, it also adds some warmth and natural feeling to the facade. Also, The semi-outdoor corridor on the first floor is sealed to allow a more continuous facade.

Yuanyan Slow-moving bridge is located not far to the west of the upcoming Yuanjiadian tourists center. This project contains two bridges, the main bridge and the auxiliary one. The former is used for slow- walking and the latter for cycling and jogging. The concept of the main bridge is designated by the first party, that is, using double archas the main form to form the outline of an eye through the combination of the bridge body and its reflection in the water.

The location of the bridge is on the west side of the above visitor center project. The first party and the design team discussed that the concept of the main bridge is based on the rainbow bridge in ancient Chinese paintings. We can see that it has a double arch feature and the main structure is the arch that falls into the water which in this case is a clean concrete arch. As for the relationship between the two bridges, we hope that they have a relatively independent structure and that the auxiliary bridge is slightly distanced from the main bridge so that they can look at each other.

Some regulatory difficulties arose in the design of the twin bridge plan. Due to the impreciseness of past urban planning documents, ‘agricultural land’ even included a portion of water. Under the current regulations, construction on agricultural land is generally not allowed, unless it is road/ bridge construction land specially approved by the government. Waters that should be unrestricted are restricted because they have been wrongly classified as agricultural land. Therefore, we cannot realize the separation of the main and auxiliary bridges on land, resulting in the bending of the auxiliary bridges being limited to a small range. All in all, the project plan is a helpless move completely due to the mistakes of reality and the constraints of regulations.

Main bridge & auxiliary bridge facades
The main arch of the main bridge that falls into the water is semicircular and is supported by a concrete base, and under the base is a foundation that goes deep into the ground. Supporting the auxiliary bridge at the corresponding position is a 600mm diameter concrete column. Both bridges are supported at the end by the same L-shaped abutment. As stated on the previous page, part of the abutment is in the water due to regulatory requirements. The railings of the two bridges are also closed on the same concrete pier at the end. Due to the high curvature of the main bridge, it can only be climbed with irregular steps. Therefore, the main traffic needs are met by the auxiliary bridge with a slope of 3.5%, which does not affect the passage of the disabled and bicycles.

The task is to design and build a pedestrian timber bridge (span 10m), consisting of prefabricated sections, with restrictions such as: The erection of the bridge should occurs in a fast manner. The prefabricated parts should be able to transported by an ordinary trailer. The bridge foundation can only bear vertical loads. All fasteners/connectors should be standard anker nails, screws, dowel and bolts, the usage of steel plate in joints should be as little as possible.

Base plan and section draft
The site is located in the Järvafältet nature reserve, across the creek Igelbäcken, over which there are several bridges. The original bridge on the site is broken. Documents we got is only a hand-drawn plan and section of the bridge base. They are a pair of concrete cuboids 10 meters apart, 2.4 meters long and 0.4 meters wide. Our bridge will rest on this pair of bases, so the bridge can only have downward loads. And the water surface is very close to the ground, so a structure that is too concave downward cannot be designed.
Because of the beautiful scenery of the nature reserve and the creek, we hope that there will be a bench for people to rest in the center of the bridge. Therefore, the corresponding bridge deck gradually widens from the edge to the center for people to pass through smoothly when someone is sitting.

Side View
Because of the existence of the middle bench, the bridge deck gradually widens from 2430mm at the end to 3150mm in the middle to form two aisles of about 1 meter in the middle, and the shape of the middle bench also echoes the plan shape of the bridge deck as an arc.
The bridge is supported by trusses, and the arch is convex upward because the water surface is too close to the ground. The center height of the truss is set at 1200mm under the suggestion and calculation of the students and teachers of the Department of Construction. This will result in a slightly larger curvature at the end, so a wood spacer is appropriately set between the bridge decks at the end to support pedestrians. The number of trusses is determined as two pairs of 4 pieces under the suggestion and calculation, two of which are connected. At the lower part of the upper chord of the truss, beams are arranged across the entire bridge deck to strengthen the stability of the structure as well as connect 2 pairs of trusses and then the railposts are erected at the ends of the beams.

Plan and elevation Front View
On this page, the right side is the assembly process diagram and the upper part is the materials required for assembling each part.
Our main idea was to divide the structure into four truckable units, each unit consisting of two half-trusses, bracing connections, tranverse beams and halfdecks falling on top of them. Each half-truss is divided into three layers, upper and lower chords on both sides and web members in the middle. This design avoids the use of complex joints and uses only screws and nails. There are some pads on the lower part of the upper chord of the half truss, which is for the installation of tranverse beams.There are two types of half-trusses and the web members of one is slightly different from the other, this is due to the need to install the bench in the future, so the half-truss with slightly longer web members will be placed in the middle of the bridge body. The half-width decks are placed on top of the trusses and every few pieces leave space for the fullwidth decks for later on-site assembly.

This project is a reconstruction project of an old residential area. According to the plan of the government and the first party, after the evaluation of architectural history experts, most of the houses on the original site are in bad condition and have no value of preservation, so they will be demolished. Some buildings with important historical significance are preserved. The competition proposal plans to preserve the spatial structure of the original site as much as possible while meeting the relevant indicators.
46
The site is located in the center of Shanghai City, Huangpu District, surrounded by many old residential areas with similar typology and texture, and the north is Shilin Phase I high-rise residential area. As early as 1948, this area has formed a relatively mature residential area, but in the long history to this day, due to reconstruction, lack of maintenance and others, most of the residential buildings have been dilapidated.

Reserve and inheritance - historic public context
For the site, on the premise that most of the material existence is inevitable and cannot be preserved, we hope to preserve some things that can reflect the history and context of the site, such as the public features of the site. In the new plan, we still roughly use the main spatial structure and public space sequence on the existing site, and retain important historical buildings, maintain and renovate them, so that they can adapt to the needs of public buildings in the new residential area and survive.

In the design of the new villa, we also hope to extract the elements of the residential form on the site. During the discussion, we learned that there should not be too many types of villas. Therefore, we analyzed the types of dwellings, paid attention to their traffic organization, courtyard shape, the ratio between rooms, etc., selected several types that can meet the needs of modern living to inherit, and redesigned the plane on this basis to form a Three categories of new villas and replicated on the site.

Under commercial demands, some stacked villas are required to be planned and need to have three types of units. We arrange the three types of units in each volume instead of designing several different buildings. In this way, each stacked villa naturally has a large balcony by gradually decreasing the floor area from bottom to top and gradually retreating the volume. In order to avoid the entrance of the underground garage on the north side and make full use of the site, the stacked villas are bent to a certain extent, which is achieved by changing the shape of the traffic core on the plan.

Under the request of the first party, there must be highrise buildings with around 90 apartments and under 80m high. In order to avoid the large number of villas, the location of the high-rise building is located at the northwest corner of the site, together with the high-rises of Shilin Phase I. Considering the fire code and sunlight, the site is an irregular fanlike shape. Under the plan layout of 4 apartments , and in order to avoid peeping among apartments, this fan shape border was translated into 3 times of gradual folding and retreating in plan. Corresponding to this, in the vertical direction, there were 3 gradual falls from west to east. With these techniques, the high rise is different from the traditional slab building, resulting in a dynamic and graceful appearance.

Renovation of a residential building in Bandstolen, Uppsala, Sweden
Hou sing
The building is located in the gottsunda area of uppsala, a residential area defined by the police as extremely vulnerable. And the Bandstolen block where the building is located is even the most infamous block in Gottsunda. During the design process, we had a dialogue with the owner Victoriahem, hoping that the renovation plan would be closer to the real situation and not just stay at the imaginary level. But also because of this, economic conditions were emphasized in the renovation plan, and measures with too high costs and no obvious benefits were rejected. The final plan is relatively conservative and allows some flexibility.

The Bandstolen neighborhood is located on the north side of Gottsunda, not far from Gottsunda Centrum, and is characterized by high crime rate, high unemployment rate and nearly 85% of non-local residents. In the future development plan, due to the construction of the new railway, a series of new residential buildings and commercial blocks will be built along the railway line area, and the bandstolen block is partly included in the area of these measures. Therefore, the region has a new opportunity for development.
The selected building, bandstolsvagen 3, is located in the left corner of the bandstolen area. The south facade faces the new residential buildings and the railway that will be built, which is an important display surface. Different parts of the current facade have different degrees of wear and tear. At the same time, the recessed balcony also casts many shadows on the south facade, leaving a dark and cold impression. Inside the building, the common space is dark, narrow and damaged, and a large number of central areas are occupied by storage areas, losing its publicity. Therefore, the problems of the building itself should be the first thing to be concerned about.

The renovation proposal focused on the facade, the recessed balconies. Besides of the shadow problem they brought, from the conversation with Victoriahem, what is known that the dark space around the entrance also considered to be unsafe. The proposal plans to seal the recessed balcony and transforms it into an indoor space, and replaces it with cantilevered steel structure balconies and arranges them alternately so as not to block the light. By doing so, the middle studios increase in area and the middle part of facade is made flat. In addition, the material was replaced with wood to be more friendly. On the ground floor, all the windows are made full height and the laundry room in the upper left corner of the ground floor is exchanged with the storage area in the middle to give the middle part publicity and transparency.

In the existing construction, balcony slabs were independent structures, connected to the walls on both sides, and connected to the interior space with thin iron sheets. Such a design is good for heat preservation, but there are many problems in other places. On both sides of the balcony, one side of the wall continues from the interior to the exterior, and the floor slab and wall on one side directly touch the edge of the facade, all of which lead to cold bridges.

One key point in the transformation of the structure is the increase of the insulation layer. Add insulation layers at the ends of the walls on both sides of the balconies so that they do not directly contact the facade. Because of the closure of the original balcony area, insulation was added to the lower part of the balcony slabs and at the contact point with the new facade. Because the new facade area is more prominent than the sides, a short L-shaped wall was used to connect the old and new facade area.

For the typical plan layout, according to the initiative of Uppsala Kommun, the types of apartments in an apartment building should be diversified. Currently, the apartments in this building are studio and 2 room apartments. Therefore, a concept was proposed to combine two apartments into one big apartment. There are 3 types of 5 apartments in the typical plan. Considering the living comfort, there are 3 options for merging apartments in the proposal. The basic principle is to convert one of the apartments into two bedrooms and partially expand the common space to meet the needs of more residents.

Located beside the old industrial area, the multifunction hall used the gable shape and lighting method of the nearby old industrial factory as inspiration. However, by repeating the gable shape in different direction, the space creates different but brighter atmosphere. Corten steel panels, similar to bricks which are the main material of surrounding building, are used in the facade.

The site is located near the old industrial area, surrounded by a large number of industrial buildings. For these brick buildings, one of the most common typologies is shown on the right, which is based on a double-sloped roof with a similar shape of daylight opening at the ridge. This project extracts the form of this foundation wall as a basic concept, and transforms it into an image, which is used on the short side instead of the long side like industrial buildings. In this way, the lighting inside the building is better and more abundant than in the prototype.
In terms of structure and materials, the original industrial building is also copied and reproduced. The structure is dominated by steel space trusses, and the structure of the lighting shaft is relatively independent. The facade material is corten steel plate, which is similar to red brick and has an industrial style. Different from the masonry structure of the prototype, the project uses steel frame structure, so the lower part of the facade is made of frosted glass, making the mass of corten steel lifted up, which is different from the heavy feeling of the original industrial building.

77 Struc ture Form- finding timber shell pavillion Home China 4 At home Mar. - June / 2020 Diploma project Remote individual work
The project is a reasearch-based design for a shell pavilion. The site for the pavilion is an abstract 4*4m rectangle. It's generated digitally by reverse hanging model to minimize force other than stress, which is widely used by engineers and architects, like Antonio Gaudi, Heinz Isler and Frei Otto. Futhermore, maxmizing stability under vertical loads is used as an optimized goal for the final shape. All the process is mainly done by grasshopper and its plug-ins Kangaroo2, Karamba3D and Galapagos.

Shell shape generation
The method for generating the shell shape is the reverse hanging model method that has been used in actual buildings for many years, but it has been transformed into a computer simulation method. It has the advantage that the shell formed in this way theoretically only has stresses inside. In this project, the plan condition is that on a site of 4*4m, each side has a support, and these four supports are connected in turn to form the coverage area of the shell. The curvature, position and length of the support are all variable within a certain range. In addition, the elasticity in the process of forming the shell is also variable, and its value affects the height of the shell.

Genetic Algorithm is used in the process of shape optimization. The quantitative index for stability is the buckling load factor of the shell under vertical loads, which reflects how many times the given load will cause the shell to collapse.
The shape optimization is divided into two steps. The first step is about the first set of variables, namely the curvature, position and length of the four supports. During the process, it was learned that regardless of position, supports with a curvature at the maximum within the limit and concave inward, and have max length, have the highest stability. Under this conclusion, after calculation, the expected result is obtained, that is, the shell is the most stable when four supports are all in the middle. Furtherly, the second step, the variable is the elasticity inside the shell during the form-finding process. After calculation, the stability of the shell is the best when the elasticity is at a certain value in the middle of the range.

The site lies on a main road of Nanjing, which is the boundary of a adminitrative district, a historic reserves and a residential area. Because of it, this design tries to imply that significant feature and leave outdoor space separated from the busy city.
86
Site locates at the east of Zhong-yang (central) road, one main busytraffic road of Nanjing, also acts as division of urban residential area and low- density historic area, which made two side unaccesible.
The main concept of the building is one widen wall, block the noisy urban environment and leave outdoor space for the east. The height of the volume refers to the residential building on the west.
Most function is settled in the 'widen wall'. Other functions requiring larger space are inserted into the dock like plugins. Lobby was put on the mid and one passage through east and west is opened beside.
The largest theater volume is sunken to semi-underground to fit in the surroundings. According to the function and circular needs, corridors are hanged on the facade. The inside is truly reflected on the outside.
Roofs of the small volumes are used as viewing platforms. The largest platform, roof of theathe, one floor higher than ground becomes main entrance square, gathering people from the east.
Different transparency imply different space. Glass is used in corridors and lobby. Translucent glass and wood grating are used in most activities space. Hanging panels are applied in servant space and theater.

In the design of this museum, circulation becomes the starting point. Different from traditional museums that emphasize visual enjoyment, laying out a large number of exhibitions as a whole experience, this museum, for the theme of ‘literature museum’, tries to make tourists more involved in literature-related activities during the tour. Therefore ,exhibition space and activity space are arranged alternately.
The site is at the joint of Changjiang Road and Hanfu Road.
Both roads connect a lot of historical buildings of Nanjing. It’s necessary to leave urban space on the north of the site as an end of Chang jiang Road and a start of Hanfu Road.
