TIANJIN MAR. 2015 INTERCOLLEGIATE EXCHANGE WORK (TEAM LEADER QIONGYIN LI

DESIGN CONCEPT Based on the situation of a different time and different backgrounds intertwined together, this design tried to connect people, nature and city by an inclusive view. As a result, the familiar building could be interpreted in a new way, and history also could be explained by a modern perspective. SPECIFICATION Project design lands: Tianjin modern history museum land planning Construction land area: 10,000 MÂ² Control the planning plot ratio: 1.0 Or so Back to the property line: Road center 10 meters back to field. Building height restriction: Building height limit of 40 meters high, to the upper layer Functional requirements: The planning area of 7000 square meters of modern Exhibition hall, fully functional modern urban Cultural and recreational facilities.

JIANGXI PROVINCE LONGHUSHAN (UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK DESIGNATED YEAR: 2015) FEB. 2017 - OCT. 2017 WORK PROJECT (FOUR PEOPLE TEAM) CUI GUANGHAI, TAO JIN

DESIGN CONCEPT "It's not just about protecting a building; it's also about protecting the cultural environment it carries and making it a viable one." By combing historical information, archaeological information and religious status on the site itself, project focus on rehabilitating and reusing the existing built environment. The design also using creative thinking and design to save and incorporate old or historic buildings that currently exist, in the present and future of our cities, by adapting them through innovative and sensitive treatments. The project focusing on traditional Taoist Ritual, divide the space into the sacred and the secular. I am using Religious people's behaviour guide the experience of sacred space by analysed two perceptive axes of people, applying religious perception to the spatial experience. The design combines the reshape religious expertise and traditional Chinese architecture, reshape the light and space.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Following the principle of minimum intervention, we will focus on solving the main influencing problems of the ontology and remove the light construction in addition to the necessary measures. The new part should adopt a light reversible structure, and the structural foundation and the site distribution should maintain a strict safety distance, and the interference to the cultural relic environment should be reduced to the minimum. Basic on the archaeological information, we offset 1.5m outside the outline of the site to put column, which can minimise the damage of the site and also beneficial to the structural stability, meet the requirements of the foundation bearing capacity, and ensure the safety of construction.

THE RELEVANCE OF STREAMLINE AND SPACE PATTERNS LOCATION DATE PROPERTY TUTOR

CHANGCHUN,CHINA SEP. 2014 ACADEMIC PROJECT (INDIVIDUAL) BONAN LI

DESIGN CONCEPT "Indoor life feels like a sea travel".This idea runs through Marseilles apartment design as always been. Indeed, life and travel has some things in common. They both have a beginning and an ending and they both are not constrained on clear facts and figurative things, but rather like a description of a poem, a story or drama scene, shaped and structured by human life development and continuity. In my opinion, the function and the spirit of the function of the small scale commercial space enclosed by the Universities are the same as ships. The ship is a means of transportation. Though people consider it just as a temporary parking places, it also includes basic necessities of life and entertainment function. The project located in university town, and the small scale venues decided the commercial street does not have a large supermarket or diverse shopping category, but it is a necessary place which provides college students a area for shopping and entertaining. The function determines the small scale also has various streamline. So in design we should combine with streamline density and show richness by using a small scale.

SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTH Good location in universities town, convenient transportation. Perfect infrastructure Variety types of business . WEAKNESS There are many shops without a business license at night, which always occupy roads and cause traffic congestion. And congestion caused by random parking Since the majority of street shop are packed type dining, walking and eating behaviors lead to environmental mess and garbage more. Beside avenue tree, there is no green space in the site and full of weeds in abortion sparse area OPPORTUNITY Students as the main consumer, crowds update quickly, consumption object type fixed, variety consumption level. THREAT

The potential traffic danger because of mixed traffic lines

More catering sewage , the breeding of mosquitoes and bacterium.

4 FLOATING STRUCTURE LOCATION URBAN GREENLAND DATE NOV 2014 PROPERTY ACADEMIC INDIVIDUAL WORK INSTRUCTOR BONAN LI

DESIGN CONCEPT The floating structure is a form of architecture constructing an interacting relationship with the activities of people. The design of mist form is based on the aesthetic and ecological views. It is not a criticism of an ecological system, but a positive reaction combines both aesthetic and environmental perspectives. It is an innovate way to alleviate the conflict between the environment and human beings. Thus it also brings the possibility of the overlapping of different spaces. Meanwhile, it is a unique solution method of modern ecological technology.

JIANGXI PROVINCE FUZHOU CITY NOV. 2017 (TWO WEEKS) WORK PROJECT (INDEPENDENTLY) ZHUO LV

DESIGN CONCEPT Tang xianzu closely linked the issue of emotion and life and death, in pursuit of “deepest love” which means to reflect the emotional realm as the principal value of the spiritual realm, to achieve beyond the purpose of life and death. The design will lift the terrain to dig up the building to form the sunken square space. Through the light guide structure of the building, the light will be introduced into as a column form to build a commemorative place, echoing tang xianzu’s concept of “ being-towards-death”. This project still goes on.

GLOBAL HOUSING SYSTEM 2019 END OF YEAR GROUP WORK RETSIN GILLES, JIMENEZ GARCIA MANUEL, SOLER VICENTE

DESIGN CONCEPT Co-hood project design a platform try to invited neighbours involved in the community planning, question the housing planning system under capitalism, proposed a flexible, transparent and userlead housing system. By analysis the input of users, link the open spaces and units, matching the user's frequency need with space, automated generating the community plan, improve the shareability. For the construction part, co-hood provides a "ready to assembly" housing system. Through the research of traditional Chinese building element, we design an essential discretised component and also develop our interlocking computation logic which can generate the reversible structure. The project applies eps foam as our fabrication material which is cheap, light, and easy to get. During the assembly process, co-hood using ar technology to provide guidance and real-time feedback for the layman to assemble their house.

Re-Imagining Housing Today, the housing system is facing several issues like: Accelerating urbanisation; Lack of affordable housing; Building, has fallen way short; the workings of the house under capitalism are opaque, risky, bureaucratic and highly politicised barrier. Fixed

WORKFLOW OF ROBOT

Finish

Scan the block.

Analyse the distance between each block.

Choose the minimum distance and add block, and then analyse the next minimum distance.

When finish one layer, robot can automatically analyse the new layer.

Until there's no new block can put, robot will stop.

We do the robot which can scan and analyse the environment, robot through the simple algorithm to build the structure, and also, interact with the changing environment. The workshop2 inspire us to think about the future robot assembly which can scan and analyse the environment and then generate the architecture.

1.Through central point and the direction of a block, robot can analyse the position of each block (Centralpoint+Halflenght*angel)

Robot can analyse the block's position again, and continuelly add new block.

When manully change the position of each block.

ALGORITHM LOGIC

2.The endpoints of each block are matched one by one with other endpoints, and the matching array is established
