Dongguan Museum of History and Culture Dialogue Between Human and History Dongguan Street History Museum Design Instructor A/Prof. Yu Hui Individual Work Spring 2016
The site is located at the entrance of Dongguan Street in the historical district of Dalian. Dongguan Street used to be very prosperous, but now has been depressed, and even face with the plight of demolition. It will be invaluable to keep this area reserved as a Historic site and build a history museum at the entrance. The museum uses the same bricks from the old blocks as materials, and utilizes the slope roof as elements. The height of the museum matches the block perfectly. The sunken plaza brings more vitality to the museum. The design focuses on the reproduction of the Dongguan Street texture. The corridor around the outskirt of the atrium and overlapping courtyards allow visitors to get the same emotional experience as when they stroll in the blocks. Moreover, the design extracts the most interesting and commonest point in the courtyard " The Scene Which Looked and be Looked ", so that visitors produce different emotional exchanges with space from different perspectives anywhere in the museum. The museum connects visitors and history, that is, visitors and memories. I hope that when visitors stroll in the museum, they will feel like having a time-travel. They can dialogue with history. In the museum, the memory can be touched and felt.

Moon in The Sea Dialogue Between Human and Nature Resort Hotel Design Instructor A/Prof. Ju Wei Individual Work Spring 2016
Chinese ancient poets are very fond of the images of the sea, mountain and the moon. Since ancient times there are countless ancient Chinese poems describe the beauty of the moonlight on the sea. The moon above the sea often evokes the feelings of the poets. This resort hotel is located in an island which has not yet been developed completely. There is only a small fishing village which is sparsely populated. When I went to this site to do research, a full moon rose from the sea. It was beautiful and left me a profound impression. Nature often creates curves, and people tend to pursue straight. The round shape of the design perfectly fits between the mountains and the sea. The building extends from the shore to the sea, as if a full moon is rising from the sea to the sky. At this point it is difficult to distinguish the sea and the sky. As if you steer a boat, you will be able to start from the foot of the mountain, and drive directly to the sky. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. The design has the shapes of both the full moon and the new moon. This design and the surrounding sea, mountains, and months are all in conversation. The curved surface can maximize the visitors’ appreciation of the surrounding natural landscape. The use of simple lines and natural simple materials such as glass and concrete make this design elegant and perfectly insert into this natural scene. There is no sense of violation. At the same time, the design of the aquarium in the sea makes people feel like walking in the sea. Visitors here to the maximum communicate with the mountains, the sea and the moon mentally.
望月怀远 唐
张九龄
海上生明月，天涯共此时。 情人怨遥夜，竟夕起相思。 灭烛怜光满，披衣觉露滋。 不堪盈手赠，还寝梦佳期。
VIEWING THE MOON, THINKING OF YOU Tang Dynasty
Zhang Jiuling
As the bright moon shines over the sea, From far away you share this moment with me. For parted lovers lonely nights are the worst to be. All night long I think of no one but thee. To enjoy the moon I blow out the candle stick. Please put on your nightgown for the dew is thick. I try to offer you the moonlight so hard to pick, Hoping a reunion in my dream will come quick.

Brain Labyrinth Dialogue Between Human and Himself Meditation Space Design Instructor Prof. Wang Shiyuan Individual Work Fall 2017
A person understands the world through five senses, namely sound, smell, sight, touch and taste. Different sensory experiences can bring people different experiences and emotions. In the complicated urban life, there is too much interference from the outside. People are lost in a variety of sensory experiences. It is easy to feel spiritual emptiness after a short period of enrichment. Nowadays it's hard for people to have a suitable environment to communicate with themselves. This design mainly guides people from three aspects: sound, sight and smell. This design not only lets visitors into a suitable space for meditation, but also adjusts their mood to get ready for a talk with themselves.. The meditation space is located at the scenic area of Erdaobaihe Town, near Changbai Mountain, facing a meandering river with groves on both sides of the river. This design is located on a hillside. When visitors first enter the space, they will feel like be in a maze. With the deepening of the visitors, the space gradually becomes dim and narrow. Visitors will feel nervous and depressed, while their attention will also focus on the spatial composition. When the visitors arrive at meditation space, the space will suddenly be open and clear. At the same time, circular skylights, and cross-shaped windows in the arc space create a suitable atmosphere for meditation. When people come out of the meditation space, they will see the river and the other side of the grove, suddenly.

Home Farm Dialogue Between Human and Modernity High-rise Housing Design Instructor Prof. Lu Wei Individual Work Fall 2015
With the rapid development of the city, there are more and more people who are tired of living under the increasing pressure of daily life and severe contamination. Many people struggle in the city for a lifetime, but their last wish is to stay away from the city back to the countryside. They prefer to have a few acres of land, raise a few sheep, and enjoy the sun to sun life. And Home Farm provides people who are living in the city the possibility to get their dreams come true. At the same time, the vertical farm is a new type of indoor planting. It appears to solve the resource shortage and make full use of space. Crops grow without soil in hydroponic trays. Sewage can be converted into electricity, which can greatly reduce energy costs. Moreover, the vertical farm can also providing more food with less land. There is a relatively long patio in the middle of the Home Farm and the interior walls are planted with all kinds of plants. Around the patio there are many small balconies, usually people can chat and relax here. The bottom of the patio is a small garden with good ventilation and residents have lots of fun in this center. Home Farm has four main functional areas, farms, resident activity centre, dwelling and organic supermarkets. Farm and residential dwellings are evenly distributed throughout the building. The activity center and rooftop garden are concentrated in the upper area, and the organic market is on the ground floor. It is also convenient for other people who are not from Home Farm to come here to buy organic food.

City Corridor between Old and New Dialogue Between Human and Public Urban Design Instructor A/Prof. Liu Changzhou Teamwork with Ding Junyi, Individually Reworked Spring 2017
The site is on the boundary of the old blocks and the new building in Dalian. The north and east sides of the site were encroached by Russian in the past, and they are in radioactive city texture. Russians carried out Dalian urban planning by imitation of the Paris-like continuous square. And the origin of the south and west sides of the Japanese occupation of Dalian period left behind the chessboard city texture. This design conforms to the city texture to establish an air corridor. In the urban design, the north side retains the original site of the street profile and the original commercial and residential mixed mode of residence, and according to the road network texture, the design increases an air corridor. The design creates a lot of public areas for people to communicate and gain entertainment. The air corridor connects the residential area and the commercial and cultural district, so that the whole area is no longer divided into two parts, and become a whole. The design connects the whole area through the three-dimensional bridge, creating a lot of public space. What’s more, it not only respects the old neighborhood but also enhance the activity of the entire region.
