The aim of the Architectural Design Studio is to research “on the field” the relationships between the physical metamorphosis of an existing urban landscape and the shift in its environmental qualities and social relevance.
The design program will include a student hostel, private building composed by rooms and services, and an open public space, in cluding an “urban device”.
The proposal is to graft the blind wall surrounding the site and leave more public spaces towards to the street. For internal space, we try to distrubute rooms and collective spaces following the cir culation from top to the end and make several breaks in vertical space along this circulation.
The facade material we choose perforated alluminium panel as the shutter and make the varietion between top and medium in colors and openings. The ground facade is glass but depicts by the internal spaces.

The theme- Living (with) in the Wild is try to find a new culture of living. In this studio, we are processing our design in the national park of Cinque Terre where the natural elements are full of the site such as many typies of vegetation. The Monesteroli is where our design site it is. It’s a very tiny village with several housing and many grape fields which are the typical terrain there, but most of them are abandoned now. The stone wall which shape the grape field is most important elements in this site.
So I follow this elements and try to find some answer to the typical terrain. The design site is selected at the end of the cliff where the steepness is quite large and lack of solution in the morphology.
The scheme is try to give a answer extending from the terrain and with the outcome of a experimental dwelling. The dwelling mainly composed by a main volume which like the extending from the terrain. On the same time, inserting the box volume in to create different view towards different direction. Within the strutrue of timber truss out, the internal spaces are more free to design.

2020 is the 100 years of Vkhutemas-the design school of Russian Avant-Gard, 1920-2020. The studio proposes to design an ideal museum of Vkhutemas in Moscow. The Vkhutemas scientific research center is belonged to the part of the program. It located in the historical depot, Apakova tram depot, which is designed during the Avant-Gard time. The depot’s elements (railways, buildings, trams) here are considered to be the strong characters for this area and the inhabitants’ memory. The studio proposes to use the methodology of Vkhutemas’ design school started with expressing space. My proposal is to create more spatial connection in this narrow site and work more in the sky. Starting from mass composition to make a form that could express the character of this historical trace. Try to use the aesthetic of gravity to respond to the Vkhutemas characteristic and design the interior space within the slope system to create more spatial opportunities.
Express spatial concept with mass
Adapt to the context & make anormaly Connection & detail adjustment
The context is quiet complex within several historical buildings and many tram tracks. The design is to integrate the fragile and narrow constructive place to dialogue with the context.

Topic: Welcome City, Designing for inclusion and resilience. Within this topic, we are trying to design a flexible pavilion to welcome different people’s flow that can renovate the context where is developed. The studio mainly focus is on novel architectural systems integrating flexible, performative, functional and technological aspects. Our proposal is focus on the flexible space of the city, linking with the neighborhoods, to create a more public space not only the pavilion but also the surrounding environment, focusing the space between the buildings, to enhance the inclusion and resilience. Within this concept, we try to bring more natural elements into the design and using some prefabricated components to make a sustainable pavilion. Starting from mass composition to shape a form to enhance all the idea and concept.
