Aurora provides affordable, flexible housing solutions tailored to urban millennials facing financial barriers to homeownership. Aurora utilises 3D printing technology to provide adaptable, modular living spaces that meet individual needs and preferences. Its dynamic design facilitates easy expansion or downsizing in response to the changing lifestyles of its occupants. This novel housing concept seeks to rethink the way we design, build and assemble homes, ultimately improving the quality of urban living.

DESIGN STATEMENT In order to provide young generation with an affordable and flexible housing that can be adapted to different needs, we use 3D printing technology to allow users to personalise and print quickly. The basic house type is with living segments on both sides to provide basic amenities and phygital segments in the middle for recreation and maintaining the previous hobbies and lifestyle.

The Tube —— Countryside life in tube
Regional planning and Architecture 10-2021 Chunyang village, Nanchong,Sichuan Province Software:Rhino,Enscape, Grasshopper Collaboration---Function Blocks Design
Great changes have taken place in rural China since China implemented the poverty alleviation policies in the 1970s. Modern new villages are gradually taking shape, but in the process of formation, some problems in Chinese villages need to be solved. Under this background, through research and analysis, we found that there are many problems among rural areas in China such as unbalanced economic development, inability to drive the surrounding economy, and the single output between urban and rural areas.
-阡陌交通，鸡犬相闻
My group believes that the core reasons for these problems are the natural geographical factors and barriers between villages and the later imbalance of infrastructure distribution caused by the government policies. To solve this problem, we started with the core element, namely the traffic, combined it with the concept of the pipeline, and planned to connect each settlement village with pipelines. At the same time, to preserve the characteristic of family settlement in Chinese rural areas, we designed large and small points to ensure efficient production under the rural characteristics of the traditional settlement nature and improve the material exchange and contact between villages. The TUBE system will gradually form a global rural network.
-Each road is connected to other roads. One could hear what another one says in everyday life.

FUNCTION BLOCKS Design the connection mode of pipes. A conveyor belt for material transportation is designed between tubes. The conveyor belt is arranged in the shape of circles so that supplies can be transported to as many parts of the tubes as possible. According to the distribution of the existing modules, they are adapted and combined to form function modules with different lengths for residence, agriculture, forestry, and fishery. They are connected by the traffic tubes throughout.

At the same time,
based on watching a large number of documentaries, I extracted the two main elements of windows and corners to create a series of public/private spaces that allow for solitude, mutual support, lectures, sports and shared kitchens.In spatial planning, I ensured that every public and semi-public space has a solitary space where the second patient group can relieve their emotional burden. At the same time, these spaces are organically connected with columns and cambered surfaces. Direct and indirect traffic flows in the space can allow people to freely choose their space of solitude. A waterway running through the whole place can also guide the second patient.

SITE ANALYSIS Marked the places where second patients often relieve their emotions and categorized the places with colors in different shades according to the force of their emotions.

The park in the hospital was found to be place where they often go. The space is divided into general lines of movement and functions. The traffic flow of people is gradually categorized in the order of public—semi-public—private. At the same time, the comfort areas are arranged and separate spaces for comfort are added to the private areas.

Wandering In Memorytower ------- Lenghu Oil Base Memorial Tower
Architecture 10-2021 Lenghu Oil base, Lenghu, Qinghai rovince 15,303*81,767*67,665*mm Software: Rhino,Enscape, Grasshopper, Photoshop, Illustrator Independent
Lenghu Oil Base is located in the north of Qaidam Basin, Qinghai Province, at the junction of Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang. It is named Lenghu Oil Base because it is located near Lenghu. Generations of oil workers have dedicated their youth there, had their own homes, and created beautiful memories of that passionate era. However, after the oil is extracted, people left the area. There are only collapsing buildings corroded by saline-alkali rainwater and the cinder and slags left from oil drilling at the base.
-The past should not be forgotten.
This project aims to use and transform as best these dangerous buildings and local materials to build a landmark to commemorate the contribution of the older generation of oil workers to the industry. It is a spatialized a poem. The design creates different spatial atmospheres so that visitors can feel the stories told by time and environment in the site of Lenghu Oil Base from different viewing perspectives and path rhythms.
19
SPATIAL ANALYSIS A spatialised reduction of the poem. The position and window of the tower are set based on the relationship between the position of the line-of-sight position and the site. A window constitutes a threshold, which can arouse memories and thoughts. Then, taking the description of poetry as a thread, the scene and space rhythm are connected to form a complete narrative.

PLAN The final version of the memorial tower is a building composed of steel frames and cinder bricks. Different ways of setting windows can create different light effects and ways of viewing, which enriches visitors' experience. The section drawing shows the building from windows in partial, blurred images, then continuous sectional windows, and, finally, open environmental perspectives.
