URBAN COGNITION
BALANCE BETWEEN URBAN RENEWAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT
With the development and continuous renewal of the city, the urban fabric is composed of buildings constructed in different time and space, presenting complex and diverse characteristics. At the same time, the urban heritage is forgotten, the old city reconstruction leads to the separation of old and new elements, traffic chaos and other problems.
In this project, I hope to connect the old and new nodes of the city with a cognitive path, so that people can better understand the city.

Industrial buildings can be converted into art workshops.
The industry is declining and the structure of the industry needs to be transformed.
Urban Renewal Problem Analysis
The old town is becoming more and more lifeless. It should be changed !
The scenes of life that once existed are gone.
Those houses are old.
Conflict Area Main Road Minor Road
There is a certain separation between the various blocks.
On the one hand, it is due to the division of functions, and on the other hand, it is due to the imperfect internal transportation of the plot.

The pollution in the industrial zone are worse, which seriously affects the life of the surrounding residents.

With only one large commercial facility in town, there are too many inconveniences.
The house was old and the walls were peeling.
The bottom business only low-end retail, a serious lack of life service facilities.

Texture Collage Time & Space
The texture of urban space is collaged by various Spaces in different periods.
1. Old Industrial Area
The industrial block was built in the middle of the last century, and the architectural texture was chaotic, which was quite different from the surrounding plot and had a great negative impact on the overall style.
2. Dutch Town
This section of characteristic foreign house is built in combination with the surrounding Dutch style town. The construction is relatively new, mainly for residential and commercial use, which has great future retention value.

The base is located in Gaoqiao Town, Jinqiao area, Pudong District, Shanghai. It is the local cultural and residential center, and also undertakes the functions of leisure and recreation for citizens in the region.
The site has rich historical resources, such as historic blocks and industrial heritage, but it also faces problems such as historic streets and old workers' villages that need to be renovated, incomplete living and recreational functions, and poor integration of new residential buildings around.
New Village
village was built in the 1980s and arranged in a row pattern. Most of the group are residential, with public service bottom of the buildings along the street.
4. Historic District
Most of the historic preservation districts were built in the 1920s, and most of them are lined with yard-style residential buildings, with a few high-rise commercial buildings on the west side of the conservation area.
5. Shanty Town
This section of shanty towns mostly built in the 1920s, the group distribution is not neat, more disorderly; Most of these buildings are dilapidated, with peeling skins, poor construction quality and illegal construction. It is suggested to demolish and rebuild in the future.

Along the cognitive path from north to south, the historical blocks in the northern part of the base are successively carried out: commercial development oriented by rail transit stations, residential area transformation, commercial transformation of historical buildings, introduction of creative industrial parks, and establishment of waterfront and green space.
The industrial zone will be built into a comprehensive section bearing innovative office functions and commercial, residential and landscape functions with strong life flavor. It is mainly composed of three blocks: commercial office complex, commercial street and container community transformed into living community with complete public service facilities.

WHITE COLLAR LIVING IN SHANGHAI
SOLUTION TO HIGH-DENSITY LIVING CONDITION
With the urbanization and population expansion, the city is implanted into high-density development, and there are a series of problems such as poor living quality, insufficient public space, weak neighborhood connection, poor living environment quality and so on.
Mobile modular housing is the focus of this project, hoping to reshape and efficiently utilize more space for the assembly housing in this high-density city and improve the living quality through the movement of modules.

Better Living Condition Vision
Traditional residential communities have more green yards, smaller residential units and harmonious neighbors, but their narrow streets do not meet the needs of rapid transportation and efficient economic development in modern society.
Along with urbanization and population expansion, more and more high-density residential areas are emerging, resulting in a gap between urban people and the natural environment and estrangement between people
To solve the above problems, I wanted to create a modular house that could move freely between modules.
In this interactive house, spaces can be reshaped massively, with private and social Spaces shifting and blending. At the same time, in the process of space remodeling, roof greening is also implanted, even if located in the high level can form a courtyard, so that the house can interact with the nature, but also solve the problem of the rapid growth of urban population density.

Living Scenario
The module consists of two flats above and below. Each household can use the terrace to relax, chat, plant and exercise.
Move modules up and down through columns. As the living room and bedroom move up to create a large terrace next to the kitchen, the whole family can have terrace barbecues and parties.
When the living room and bedroom move down, the second floor forms a large terrace for the whole floor, which can be used for planting, relaxation and small sports such as skateboarding and table tennis.

LAND OF DECENTRALIZATION
STUDY
OF VIRTUAL ARCHITECTURE IN WEB 3.0
Urban centralization is an issue that is being widely discussed. High-density commercial development in the central area of the city has gathered a large number of office people and wealth, which also provides support for the economic development of the city. However, this has also resulted in traffic congestion in cities, job and housing imbalance and many social inequities.
The concept of the metaverse is a popular topic. Wearing glasses, you can enter another world, where cities are no longer centralized, offices do not need to gather together, and you can have meetings and communicate with people at home, just like face to face. Shopping and exhibitions can also be more convenient in this way... In the virtual world, people are doing things they can not do in the real world, while at the same time distributing wealth and power more equitably to the masses. The purpose of this project is to explore the life and space of people in the metaverse.

FABRICATION
RESEARCH ON FABRIC RECYCLING AND FABRIC LANGUAGE APPLICATION IN ARCHITECTURE
The garment industry is already the second largest source of pollution in the world, but the recycling rate of used clothing and the recycling cycle of cloth are very low.
In this project, I hope to study the combination of fabric fibers and building materials on the one hand to increase the recycling efficiency of cloth; on the other hand, I hope to combine the language of fabric with the architectural form to create a soft, curved and enclosed architectural space.

Background Pollution and Waste
industrial wastewater pollution comes from the textile industry
of million tons of recycled fiber production
global carbon emissions are released by the garment industry
Many waste clothes are recycled and crushed to make gloves, rags, mops, and fillers for car seats, chairs and carpets.
Wasteful Cloth Usage Path
The garment industry has become the world's second largest polluter, from the use of toxic chemicals to water pollution and waste
Over time, the average number of wearing clothes has decreased by 36%, and the recycling rate of old clothes is only less than 10%, thus causing a lot of resource waste problem
On the one hand, the existing recycling methods export a small number of clothes for reuse; On the other hand, other materials were crushed and made into other second-hand fabrics or fillers, which, however, did not greatly improve the life cycle of the fabric
of
The garment industry, which is closely related to our daily life, has become the second most polluting industry after the oil industry. of used clothes are recycled million tons of used clothing exported over the past four years
About 26 million tons of old clothes are thrown into the trash every year in China. Only 10% of the old clothes are actually reused, and more than 70% are still facing the fate of incineration and landfill.
