01 A Specialty Store for Textiles Interior Design
Design Concept
Design Brief Since my undergraduate major is textile design, I always need to buy pieces of cloth as materials and thus cloth stores becomes a place I visit frequently in my spare time. When I visit cloth stores, I found that domestic cloth stores have many problems in their function and layout. Thus, through further investigation and survey and the study on the traditional Chinese cloth printing and dyeing technology and its characteristics, I adopt the concept of “being tender and natural� and try to solve the existing problems of the cloth store by changing the way of dis- play and layout. Meanwhile, advantages of existing cloth stores worth keeping are retained in the new design. Through improvement and extension, I aim to create a sale store for textiles that is well-organized, simple and cozy.
Through visiting existing physical cloth stores, I found that due to the limitation of store area, the owner would habitually pile up rolls of piece goods on the counter. Although a large amount of piece goods can be stored in this way, it is not good for displaying textures and decorative patterns of cloths. Thus, I try to make a change on this traditional, conventional way of display in the new design by unfolding pieces of cloth, making them dis- played in a more intuitional way.

GuQin and Architecture Based on research which exploring the relationship between Guqin and cathedral, I divide the building into three segments, which are corresponded with three tone colors of Guqin:
” Being depressed”, “Pouring out”, and “Being suddenly enlightened”
02 A Building Inspired by Guqin,a Seven-Stringed Plucked Instrument
Design Brief The feeling I get when playing guqin and the experience of my visiting Romanesque churches make me come to understand the subtle connection between sound and architecture. In this design, I try to transform the transition and change of different scales of guqin into three emotional keynotes, “being depressed” - “pouring out” - “being suddenly enlightened”, so as to establish a narrative physical space with the help of different design languages and give it speci c functions, making it be- come a public buildings.
Concept From playing guqin to understanding it, this musical instrument soothes my tension and uneasiness, enabling me to slow down in my high-paced life. When I visited Romanesque churches, I also experienced a similar feeling of peace and harmony. The solemn and symmetrical layout and the large scale of those churches give people a sense of deterrence. It seems that there is a fantastic connection between music and architecture. Therefore, I try to create a space that is, in a sense, similar to the Romanesque church and to convey the sound, rhythm and emotion of guqin through it.

03 PLAY, RELAX AND FUN SPACE
Design Brief This apartment is designed for six-month stayed people, and it is created to relax and have a rest. The inspiration is from the moment when we stayed in the apartment, we are used to ignoring the scenery of the space instead of watching the smartphone. On the contrast, when I visited Richard Serra’s exhibition, I found the surface of sculpture shaped the inside space so that it creates interesting view. So that I was exploring how the surface of sculpture shaped the inside space which could create a fantastic sight. By inspired Mobius Strip that has different curved patterns, I would shaped the sights of window with the constraction, so that this space could be replaxing studio where people would have difference views with standing in different positiones.

“The route it shapes repeatedly turns to create a series of passages with sides that either shear away or closely shelter the explorer. “ By Jonathan Jones

04 BAKERY WITH COFFEE SHOP
Design Brief The project is redesigning a shop to be new bakery with coffee shop. Based on the research about the different types of function, I tend to create a cosy space for the group and individual with analysing the ergonomics to create the most confortable distance. Furthermore, the multifunctional furniture is the key element in the space to manage the group area where people could have group activities. Besides, for individual, people could be in a constant state of relaxation and enjoyment.
