• 4th Prize of the International Competition

‘The soil is the great connector of our lives, the source and destination of all.’ The site for the new Gyeongsangbuk-do Agricultural Resource Management Institute is defined by a patchwork of rich red soils, visually and practically. A vast gird of fields provides a context for the growth of two new grids. Our design proposal is for a building ‘rooted’ in the earth, ‘grown’ from the earth, a ‘Building of the Earth’— built from great walls of rich red rammed-earth, offering economy and thermal mass. Wood + Earth equals a carbon negative, truly sustainable development; a landmark construction representing a new future-orientated Gyeongsangbuk-do Agricultural Resource Management Institute. With architecture as with agriculture, earth is the cultivator and creator.

02 CITY LIGHT

Community project Transformation

Project Type: Urban Design

Location: Shanghai, China

Individual Work Instructor: David Vardy

This project is the Shanghai community transformation. In the rapid development of Chinese society, community construction and relationships between people are usually neglected. The location on Shanghai Kangding road 848, the community is the product of the last century, mixed with various modern elements, including but not limited to highrise buildings, supermarkets, and various kinds of modern vehicles. The community has installed all kinds of security doors, fences, and walls, as the inside and outside of the community are not connected; this state is closed. In my design, the definition of the community must be open rather than closed, and the community is an important channel and place for interpersonal contact. The resulting relationship between people is not only the peer exchanges within the zoning but also the peer exchanges within the community. At the same time, the park and cinema can radiate to the surrounding.

Even in open communities, such as those without security fences or walls, they are restricted by the invisible road layout. For example, a quadrangular grid road layout combined with a constant flow of vehicles is enough to enclose the whole community. The incline interval formed by the road can break this situation and distribute different age groups in the community. However, contact and communication between people will increase rather than decrease.

The sunken space is the addition of the university for the elderly. This space realizes the communication between the community and the outside world. It is the key for the whole community to change from closed to open. This arrangement allows the building space to breathe more.

Kindergarten itself prefer to entertainment, indoor straight upward graffiti area, so the books in the reading children's books without painting at the same time, three and a half space is linked together, the children can be accessible to any one place. There are a variety of recreational activities outdoors, where children can use the vast space of the kindergarten to run and exercise freely, which is also a challenge to the small and random nature of the traditional kindergarten, poor interaction and entertainment.

The picture on the left is located in the parking lot. In front of the parking lot, there is a square and a park. This parking lot connects all parts of the community and is the central location of a community, so the waste of space caused by not centralized parking is solved.

The picture on the lower right is located at the Senior Activity Center, next to the senior university and community, a good place for future seniors who need indoor recreation.

The nature transition from city to landscape

Project Type: Architecture Design

Location: Seattle, United States

Individual Work

Instructor: David Vardy

Redefination:

A organic trasition bewteen series of different items to connect each other to form a entirety.

The continuum is an abstract thing. I divided it into five parts to illustrate the architecture continuum—age, people, culture, circumstance, and performance: Seward park, a centuries area located in Seattle, besides the Seward community and Lake Washington. In the community, city roads are wide, covered with pitch, and well-organized. In Seward Park, trails are plants surrounding, muddy and exciting. However, a key issue is that it is unnatural between Seward Park and the community. On the one side, concrete buildings are built in the community. On the other side, plants and animals grow up in Seward Park. Combining the city to make a continuum to connect people, environment, city, and landscape is the key.

Native plants & birds

As a shelter, set on the fewer trees area to make sunshade and rain protection.

Settled on the beach to give a place to lie down and get some sunshine.

A place to feed the bird, contain animals' hibernation and food in the winter.

Settled as a toilet, it is easy to deal with human feces as soil nutrition.

Set on muddy or no road as a shelter to make sunshade, rain protection, and take a break.

Plants and mushrooms may grow up. It is the mutualism of plants and insects.

The impounding reservoir can save rain to provide for birds and animals that need water.

Mobius band is an example of having an edge but no edge. This design absorbed this concept. However, the difference is that people can control this edge, enjoy this loop or get out to the ground.

04ELINI RAILWAY STATION

A linkage tool to connect everything in Elini

Project Type: Architecture Design

Location: Elini, Italy

Group Work as Leader with Zhang Yixuan 80%Digital model, 90% rendering, 70% idea, 100% drawing.

Personal work

• Final List Reward in YAC Elini Culture Station Competition

The design concept of this project was to use the local train station as a linkage tool to connect all picked sites in Elini. The project uses different units to create a unique architectural function and mobility. We pursue portability and mobility in the project building, allowing visitors to experience the Elini culture without less use of the building, making full use of Elini’s beautiful natural environment, allowing students to burst out outstanding artistic inspiration under the influence of museum culture and the collision of nature.

The Background of ELINI

There are many ways to reach Elini worldwide, such as planes, trains, cars, ships, etc. Most visitors to Elini come from Europe, such as Italy, Rome, and Sardinia.

Activities & Transportation

La stazione di Elini, già stazione di Elini-Ilbono

Population analysis Decline VS. Growth

La chiesetta al centro del paese è stata dedicata a San Gavino Martire patrono del paese. I festeggiamenti in onore del santo si svolgono il 25 ottobre.

Sartiglia

Il più antico evento equestre

I Mamuthones sono, assieme agli Issohadores, maschere tipiche del carnevale di Mamoiada in Sardegna.

The population is a problem in Elini. From 1900 to 2015, the population of Sardinia decreased year by year. Most people do not want to stay in Sardinia but go abroad, so how to attract foreign tourists and people is a problem.

SLOPE ANALYSIS Area B

Parco Carmine e chiesa della B.V. del Carmelo

These nuraghi are divided into seven parts around the center, which are embraced together to form the shape of a hexagon.

There is a one-point nuraghe in the center, leading and connecting others. Form a triangle shape.

AREA C PLAN: EXTENSION OF ELINI RAIL STATION (HOTEL)

This primary purpose is to attract more passengers and expand the functions of the original rail station. The prefabrication technology of the hotel introduces excellent convenience and mobility into it. Each unit can form an independent or combined hotel room by several methods. A new cover consisting of steel and glass will be added to create a restriction to the railway platform range.

05REALM WIND

Energy-saving complex

Project Type: Complex Design

Location: Wellington, New Zealand

Individual work

Instructor: Ralph Spencer Steenblik

It is an energy-saving complex located in Wellington city, New Zealand. Integrated housing, consumption, community, office, entertainment and other functions. It offers a solution to the local housing shortage, the short distance lack of places to consume. Each building will have a windmill system at the top, while the windmill will be extended further out to sea and into the open spaces of the city. These windmills can take advantage of the strong annual north and sea winds in the area as a power system for the entire building while providing a certain amount of pressure relief for the city. Reduce the use of air conditioning, save money and electricity at the same time reduce carbon dioxide emissions, it achieves an environmentally friendly building.

FLEXIBILITY

Flexibility is an ADU for flexible interior space and controllable exterior sunlight. For the application of a circular shape and glass curtain wall, the purpose is to better let the sunshine into the room to avoid daylighting being restricted; glass curtain walls are movable curtains that are hung on to realize the natural light controlled. Influenced by the Swiss Army Knife, the interior furniture adopts rotating folding and retractable table, saving a lot of space for free activities when folded. The Heat system uses the Ground source Heat pump system, which could lower your fuel bills, reduce your household carbon footprint, and heat your home and your water Ducted Air-Source Heat Pumps. At the same time, it can also provide heat and cold for neighbors, saving electric energy. Ventilation combined with a heating system realizes automatic air circulation and purification through the convection of cold and hot air while heating and cooling in a heating system. Wires and drainage pipes are wound inside the central control column and connected with each water and electricity furniture to realize the integration of water and electricity.
