As a designer, especially a designer who has a great passion for interaction and performance design, there is no boundary for exploring the possibilities and limits of design. This is the origin of The X Projext. X is the unknown, it represents myself as well as the infinite possibilities of design. 31-32

SIDE A: THOSE IDEAS...
THE SOUND OF ICELAND AN IMMERSIVE MUSIC HOTEL DESIGN Architectural Design Location: Lake Mývatn, Iceland An academic individual work Design date: April-July, 2017 Supervisor: Yun Qian E-mail: qianyun@bjfu.edu.cn Iceland, a sparsely populated small Nordic island with a rich regional natural landscape and culture, has always been one of the ideal destinations for travel enthusiasts. Iceland is often depicted as the last pure land on earth, whether by locals or tourists. As a result, the trip to Iceland seems to have some kind of spiritual meaning. This experience has something in common with the appreciation of music. As a music lover, my first impression of iceland comes from its unique misic.Iceland music as a characteristic culture in Iceland, is also popular with people around the world. In this project, I tried to incorporate Icelandic music culture and local materials into the design of a resort hotel and reinterpret the regional architecture through material, space, vision and hearing.The project is located along the east coast of Lake Mývatn, a shallow lake in northern Iceland, surrounded by unparalleled landforms caused by volcanic eruptions 2300 years ago. In addition to the lake itself, there are craters, magma sources, lava columns, geothermal areas, natural hot springs and other landscapes. Being here is like being in another world...

THE LOOP OF MOTHE CHANDENIERS A HERITAGE PROTECTION AND VISITOR CENTER DESIGN Architectural and Environmental Design Location: La Mothe Chandeniers, 86120 Les Trois-Moutiers, France An academic individual work Design date: February-May, 2018 Supervisor: Changming Yu E-mail: yuchangming@bjfu.edu.cn There is a special fascination in ruins. There is a sublime hint in dissolved architectures. There is something moving in the pulverizing of time. Silence takes over the architecture. In the long sunset that follows abandonment and preludes destruction, nature completes the design of mankind by taking space back according to its own pace. In that moment, something magical happens. In that moment, architecture gives way to ruins. The castle of Mothe Chandeniers is a perfect ruin. The origins of Mothe Chandeniers have been lost in the pages of a history that we don’t know. However it was renovated during the Romantic age. It is the architectural embodiment of romanticism. At that time, the castle was the Marquis Francois de Rochechouart-Chandeniers’ house. After the marquis’death, the castle was abandoned for 2 centuries. In those years, numerous families owned it until it passed into the hands of Francois Fidèle Hennecart a wealthy textile tradesman who purchased the castle in 1809. His family renovated it again but on the night of 13th March 1932, a violent fire destroyed most of the building. Currently Mothe Chandeniers is much more romantic than before its renovation. The ruins that fusion with nature seem to be the perfect materialization of the sublime. So the visitor center design is based on the concept to keep it as a whole outdoor exhibit. Under that condition, a loop shape overlying building is designed around the castle by combining the terrain, waterway and visitors' needs. While protecting the castle, this loop provides a diverse experienc form equiet to dynamic, shallow to deep.Meanwhile, inside of castle is retained and people can appreciate the charm of the relics from all angles and distances through a series of landscape intervention measures of different heights.

LOOP THE LOK MA CHOU LOOP An Integrated Border Design Based on Site Historical Gaps and Sea Level Rise Crisis Architectural and Urban Design Location: Lok Ma Chou Loop, Hongkong and Futian District, Shenzhen, China An academic individual work Design date: July-September, 2019 Supervisor: LU Fan E-mail: littlojimmy@outlook.com In June 2019, political riots broke out in Hong Kong. Even today, Hong Kong is still in great chaos. As an ordinary citizen, I don’t think I have the right to criticize without understanding the real political background. But as a designer, I feel like I can express my concern for Hong Kong and the hope for its prosperity in my own way. This project was born in this condition. Shenzhen and Hong Kong were once known as "Xin An County" for centuries are now naturally devided by Shenzhen River. Ever since the Opium War in 1841, The land has changed dramatically. Resulting in significant gaps in culture, nature, economy and resources utilization. After the Handover, the Pearl River Delta region is becoming more and more integrated and coordinated. A more friendly border is needed. At the same time, the crisis of sea level rise is gradually threatening the land. The environment of the two sides is facing a variety of different challenges. This project aims at using the concept of loop by integrating cross-river resources and developmental patterns in combination with its historical and cultural factors to stimulate the resilience, integration and development of site from surface to inside. Eventually establish an invisible loop in the hearts of the people on both sides, thereby eliminating the gaps between the mainland and Hong Kong.

Remade waterfront pond so that it has the function of water purification.
Domestic wastewater gradually precipitates and forms tortuous waterways.
Considering the influence of sea level rise, surround lmc loop with annular green space.
Waterfront wetland landscape gradually form scale.
The service life of lowrise residential buildings is reached.
The circular landscape purifies the river and flows into the southern nature reserve.
Hong Kong
As sea level rise intensifies, gradually reduce wharf freight. Because the economic loss caused by sea level rise is much greater than the economic benefit of one port.
When the function of the wharf is completely lost, establish wharf cultural park.
Culture Loop New culture and commercial buildings replace old buildings and connect them with loops.
Shenzhen Use vacant rooms of the urban village for cultural education.
Hong Kong
Carry on organic renewal of culture orientation to urban village.
Fishing village cultural experience area: establish people's perception of historical context.
Combine high-rise office buildings and commercial squares to create a cultural loop.
Cultural and educational center: based on the needs of cultural exchange.
Assuming that cultural exchanges have matured at this time, Use physical loop to link cultural buildings on both sides.
Cultural CBD and creative block: After the close exchange of culture and the exploration of new forms and new values is needed.
Water Loop Three different first sewage purification remade measures based on building types.
The first sewage purification of a new building treated by special facade pipes. which can deliver water to the waterfront wetland for the second purification.
Use mangrove slope to absorb river water pollution, meanwhile the increasing slope can prevent the crisis of sea level rise.
Shenzhen For residential buildings
For high-rise buildings
For urban village Establish water culture landscape in the center of river after water cycle is fullly developed.
Hong Kong
The first sewage purification is carried out in the basement of the new buildings.
Due to the rise of sea level and the aggravation of river pollution, introduces the river water into the green space then the water flows into the nature reserve after being purified.
Due to the rising demands for clean water, expand the area of clean water wetland.

ENCOUNTER IN THE HUTONG HISTORICAL AREA SUSTAINABLE RENOVATION DESIGN BASED ON "SYMBOSIS COURTYARD" PROJECT Urban Design Location: Nanlouguxiang, Beijing, China An academic group work Design date: April-July, 2019 My Work: Field research, site analysis, design concept and strategies, all the modeling and drawings in this portfolio Supervisor: Tong Xu E-mail: xutong@bjfu.edu.cn In the context of the rapid development of China's economy, many historical districts cannot escape the fate of commercialization. Nanluoguxiang is a typical example. The rush to economic and tourism development has inevitably brought conflicts between locals and tourists. For traditional historical districts like Nanluoguxiang, the streets often carry the role of not only transportation but also public spaces, like squares in the western world. Today, this unique lifestyle is gradually disappearing with the intensification of commercialization. After years of different renovation strategies, a mixed experimental courtyard strategy has appeared in Nanluoguxiang and it is named "Symbiosis Courtyard" project. What is "Symbiosis Courtyard" project? It is the symbiosis of private space and public space, thus forming a symbiosis state in which commerce and residence can coexist, tourists and residents can coexist. In this design work, we tried to rebuild the traditional way that uses streets as a carrier of public spaces by combining the currently popular "symbiosis courtyard" project. At the same time, we hope this brand new continuous improving road system has the ability to diversify and weaken the conflicts and build a loop for residents and tourists, through the introduction of different functional spaces, hopefully achieve harmonious coexistence someday in the future.

LOCATION AND HISTORY ELEMENTS
CURRENT PROBLEM SUMMARY & DESIGN CONCEPT
Originated in the Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Nanluoguxiang has witnessed the rise and fall of Beijing for centuries. It is the epitome of Beijing's history and culture. But now its glory is fading because of over commercialization. Hutong Culture

Commercialization indirectly led to increasing different needs of different people and exacerbated conflicts. Design site in Beijing historical maps
Before commercialization courtyards on both sides of the streets are more frequently connected. Residents are also more willing to use roads as a carrier of public spaces.

After commercialization Communication on both sides weakened significantly. There are obvious conflicts between tourists and residents, and the courtyards are mostly closed.

The original conflicts were concentrated. So I create a new roads public space system based on site characteristics which can gradually introduce tourists into alleys to homogenize and decentralize the conflicts, enrich tourists experience and control the impact of tourists to a tolerable range. How can this design concept be realized in time ?
Republic of China era (20AD)
Current Situation under the Influencel of Commercialization
Crowd contradiction
Illegal construction
"Symbiosis Courtyard"
Tourists interfered residents' lives. Roads are no longer exclusive to residents. Which further intensified the conflicts between residents and tourists.
The lack of living spaces led to the widespread phenomenon of illegel construction which is encroaching public spaces and original Hutong texture, aggravating conflicts and reducing living standards.
In 2015, Four alleys in Nanluo were included in an experimental renovation project called "Symbiosis Courtyard". So far, more than 400 houses have been vacated for further renovation.

Seperate activity spaces
Associate over time
Spaces with muti-functions
Current status Residents' activity spaces
Design different activity spaces for tourists and residents and equip them with corresponding functions to attract different crowds, guide the flow of different behaviors, reduce mutual interference. and create spaces where tourists and residents can participate together.
Near future Tourist activity spaces
A mature network
Far future Overlapping range
With the further advancement of Nanluo's renovation policy, the number of vacated courtyards and symbiosis courtyards will increase, providing new potential paths for the roads system, thus forming a growing network of districts where tourists and locals can coexist happily.

I believe this is more than a design project, more likely to be an attempt based on sociological and cultural differences. There is a certain conflict between society and the LGBTQ community for sure. Especially when it comes to religion, the conflict reached its peak. Most Christians today regard LGBTQ issue as a matter of principle, god's hatred of the LGBTQ community can be found in the interpretation of the Bible, suggesting that it is unforgivable and they must go to hell after their death. But is the truth really as interpreted? If all things are equal, why does God hate LGBTQ so much? I believe if god really exist, everyone has the right to have faith. As a designer, I keep wondering using a way to remove religious prejudice and treat everyone with kindness. The project starts from the historical analysis of the connection between Christianity and LGBTQ community from ancient Greek to modern times. It is not difficult to find that the original intention of Christianity is to awaken people's goodness. After religion gradually intervened in the regime, people's thought of interests began to misread the doctrine in the name of God. Sexual minorities hid in the shadows since then. After World War II, under the background of sexual liberation movement, the LGBTQ Community gradually came out of the closets to fight for equal rights. A lot of parades held in the name of love. God or Love? which side would you pick... I create a two parallel Church spaces by means of an interesting and ironic approach. the church is surrounded by water. above-ground space for Christians and the underground space for the LGBTQ community.
OH GOD! OH LOVE! A CHURCH DESIGN BASED ON RELIGIOUS & CULTURAL PREJUDICE OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
Project type: An academic individual work Design date: 2019
The above-ground church is a god processing factory under the shell of the traditional church. The appearance and plane layout extract the form of the Greek cross church, but the interior of the building takes the form of spiral space to imply the class phenomenon in Christianity. In the center of the building is a huge idol. The light fell from the dome and hit the idol. The story of God's seven days of creation in Genesis is translated into seven floors of different architectural spaces. According to different levels, each floor undertakes different functions of processing idol. People here lack sense of security and do not want to believe and accept behavior that is different from their own. They paralyzed themselves through a mechanized lifestyle and gradually added barriers to themselves. The processed idol also changes over time and gradually loses its original appearance. This series of ironic architectural spaces suggest that the closure of people's thoughts artificially influences the religious nature and the doctrine.

SIDE B: THOSE PRACTICES...
ABSCENCE OF THE WALLS An Exhibition and Intreaction Art Installation Design in A Traditional Courtyard Exhibition and Installation Design Location: Baitasi, Beijing, China An academic individual work Design date: August-September, 2019 This is an exhibition design project of 2019 Beijing Design Week. The project is located in a traditional courtyard house. The content of the exhibition highlights the historical value and current contradiction of the ancient blocks, hoping to solve the contradiction by integrating symbiotic measures and break down barriers to reshape the vitality. As the curator, I wonder if it is possible to combine the value of the exhibition with the form of the exhibition in a certain way. walls are common material for an exhibition, but meanwhile walls can bring barriers. What if there are no walls? What if we can break down barriers as the exhibition theme trying to convey?

Traditional exhibition spaces usually connect different exhibition spaces through doors to form an orderly exhibition path.
In combination with the exhibition content of ancient city symbiosis, I hope that my exhibition space can hint at the connotation of the exhibition in three-dimensional space, so that visitors can better understand the exhibition content, This interesting space is hoped that people are not limited to the same exhibition path. As a result, I replaced the wall and door with a complete fold line.

THE EYEDROP TOOL An Integrated Border Design Based on Site Historical Gaps and Sea Level Rise Crisis Installation Device Design An work project associate with Xuan Luan Design date: April-June, 2020 Color is a visual effect on light produced by the eyes, brain and our life experience. Human perception of color is not only determined by the physical properties of light, but also contains many factors such as psychology. For example, human perception of color is often affected by surrounding colors. Because of different color vision, different creatures see different worlds of appearance. So how does the machine see the color and recognize it? This project was inspired by the common "Eyedrop Tool" in softwares such Photoshop. After many experiments, the Eyedrop Tool in the physical world was born.

YEAH TO Z An Interaction Space & Stage Design For 3rd Anniversary of NYLON China Magazine Interaction Space & Stage Design Location: Modern Art Museum, Shanghai, China An work project associated with Haolun Zhang Design date: March-September, 2020 This is an Interaction space and stage design for NYLON 3rd anniversary. The main audience of the anniversary is young people aged 20-30. So I defined the theme of this event as a tribute and carnival to the Millennials and the culture of Generation Z. Through the form of performance stage + immersive exhibition + interactive games, I hope to create a young, interesting and rich experience for the audience. The performance stage is composed of exhibition spaces and live performances. For immersive exhibition I created four photograph spaces for NYLON through creative forms. In the interactive game part, I created seven interactive scenes as an escapethemed game using a combination of NPC and mechanical interactive devices. The event attracted a total of 3000+ public viewing the exhibition and participating in games in ten days.

THE IMPOSSIBLE ENCOUNTER An Interaction Space & Stage Design Based on Chinese Tea Culture and Renaissance Art Interaction Space & Stage Design Location: Today Art Museum, Beijing, China An work project associated with Haolun Zhang Design date: September-October, 2020 This is an exhibition based on Chinese tea culture and Renaissance art. The initiator of the exhibition hopes to bring Western Renaissance art to people through this exhibition as well as express its relationship with Chinese tea culture. These two seemingly unrelated are presented through several dramatic interactive spaces such as Into The Painting, The Tea Garden Maze, Doors of The World & Hometown, and Out Of The Painting. In this exhibition space, the boundary between time and space is dispelled, and Chinese tea culture and Western top painting art meet here across time, space, country and field. The viewer can feel the artistic collision of the top western famous paintings with the Chinese tea culture, and then rethink the relationship between them.

THE INSPIRACTION
SCENE TWO: INTO THE PAINTING
The acquaintance between the East and the West is far longer than people imagined.
Tea, like the fragrance of tea itself, is a continuous clue between East and West.
Once, Chinese tea appeared in the parlors of European aristocrats, people tasted tea in front of the paintings of the Renaissance.
In the early intercontinental logistics network, the most important traded product was tea.
It is precisely because of tea that the most precious products of the East and the West can circulate mutually: Chinese tea and Renaissance paintings
Today, precious European works of art come to a Chinese special tea gardens for people to appreciate the beauty of Western art.
Start with the picture frame and enter the exhibition I process the entrance in a dramatic way, so that a picture frame extends infinitely and becomes a road that can lead to the exhibition and an art door to be traversed. The outermost part of the frame is white in line with the gallery exhibition hall. As the color gradually deepens, the world behind us gradually recedes, and we arrive at the last golden classical frame and cross into the palace of the masters.
SCENE THREE: THE TEA GARDEN MAZE
MASTER PLAN & ROUTE SCENE 4
SCENE 3
SCENE 2
SCENE 1
SCENE ONE: DOORS OF THE WORLD AND HOME
I designed a tea garden maze based on the traditional Chinese tea garden form combined with contradictory space. The complex deformed geometric structure is full of strong mystery and imagination, so The viewer is unconsciously immersed in the infinite loop space. Stairs are interlaced with each other, and the picture frames are suspended in the air or stand on the ground, breaking the limitations of space. The boundary between time and space is dispelled. Chinese tea culture and the top western painting art meet here across time, space, and countries. In these dislocation spaces, viewers can feel the artistic collision of top Western famous paintings with Eastern tea, and then rethink the relationship between masters.
SCENE FOUR: AFTERNOON TEA IN THE GARDEN
On the way to the art gallery, there is a long and narrow stone path with hundreds of thousands of old trees on both sides of the road. Doors of different styles are installed on both sides of the path. Some can pass through normally, and some are mirrored. The space intersects alone with the opening and closing of the door. Looking out is the world, walking back is the hometown, and the story happened at this time...
In the West, gatherings to discuss art are called "salons". In the East, gatherings to explore philosophy through tea are called "Yaji".
Combine the two forms through the afternoon tea room. The exhibition ends when the afternoon tea ends. Welcome back to the real world with good memories.

THE HOPE An Interaction Art Installation Design For 12th SOLANA Light Festival Interaction Art Installation Design Location: Solana, Beijing, China An individual work project Design date: September-November, 2020 As the unpleasant and ill-fated 2020 is finally coming to an end, people are looking forward to the coming of the New Year in all kinds of emotions. At the end of 2020, I am honored to cooperate with SOLANA to design the main installation of the light festival for them. My starting point is to use this interaction installation to illuminate the hope in people's hearts. The light of hope is like a deep sea flame, bursting out of the surrounding danger, and accompanies people to march towards the new year.

THE ORIGIN OF THE THEME
RENDERINGS
The starting point of the design is to bring hope and happiness to people through the interaction installation.
Crawling Weibo text data to get the four most discussed positive words in 2020, which are HOPE, LOVE, PEACE and JOY. Before the design, in order to make the design content not so subjective, I conducted an online questionnaire survey on the design style, allowing people to choose the time period they most want to travel to. Among them, the 80s when person swings and roller skating with the disco in the dance hall have become the era that people most want to travel to.

During the build process
This art installation was completed on November 4 and put into use until March 1, 2021. In order to make the installation more interesting, I cooperated with the construction conpany and set up a light emitting method: ten people standing in front of the installation hand in hand can change the light color of the installation. As the COVI-19 is still popular today, I hope this device can link people’s hearts in some way. All modeled and drawn by Teng Xue
