The goal of the project is to creat cozzier space in a tight area by forcing residents to share space. The design result is a building with only one wall, in which people are sharing, also seperated by a narrow courtyard. The design involves the research of Edward T. Hall, concerning the psycological distance among people. The design translated the abstract research figures into the physical design, coming up a new model of modern lives in metropolitan area.

A
One of the most serious disadvantage we found in this historical area is the narrow streets between old buildings. Because of these narrow streets, public space here can seldom be seen. People's lives here are cramped and crowd. There are complicated and delicate details on the roofs and walls of the old buildings. However, these aesthetic treasure were weaken by the narrow streets.
However, the most peculiar characteristic of this area is has cogent relationship with the narrow streets. The old buildings are tidy and close, which makes the space splendid and imposing.
Instead of simply learning the city context, we should analysis the site's strength and weakness. We should know what is the most valuable treasure the old buildings leave us, what is their weakness, and then come up with the ideas to solve the problem.

` First
Learn From the Site The newly established basic secction form This section form is born from the section forms of the old buildings. At the same time, it is more open than the old ones. When people visit here, this new form can also act as a window through which people can enjoy the old buildings.
The most strengthen architectural language in this area. Abstract the form from the old buildings and make some transformation to create new form
The inherent rhythm of old buildings
Join the old and the new together, the new building inherits the rhythm of old buildings, and brings more open public spaces, and alleviates the narrow conditions between the old buildings.
Remove some old buildings and add the new volume in, thus, a court yard is formed ,as well as new functions could be added to the old buildings
The transformations of the basic section formed the shape of the new building. The gradually changed sections create a continuous appearance of the new building. Thus, the roof surface is gradually extend to the ground, and people can get access to the top of the building gradually. More public space is created. At the same time, the shape allow architecture to act as both building as well as landscape.

Bhodi-tree Gallery
Museum of Tibetan Buddhism, Wudangzhao, Inner Mongolia, China Area: 80,000 sq. Ft | Personal Work Academic work, Joint Studio TJU-UCLA,May-June, 2011 Director: Ben Refuerzo (UCLA) & Zhen Xu (TJU)
The Tibetan Buddhism, which is an important school of Chinese Buddhism originated from the region of Tibet, has a distinctive character both in religious conception and architectural style. Our project of the museum of Tibetan Buddhism in WuDang Lamasery is to design a place to collect, exhibit, and study all the relics and data about Tibetan Buddhism.

Religious World
For mundane people, the space underneath a tree provides them w it h rest and communicate places.
FIRST
SITE TO CONCEPT How Can Mundane People Get Access To the Buddha's World?
How can mundane people get access to the Buddha's world? A buddhi-tree, where the Buddha take his first step into the religious world, could be the linker.
For lamas, the space underneath a tree provide them with the place where they hold religious activities such as debating. Debating is a significant religious activity for Tibetan Buddhism, which lamas can exchange their ideas about the classics of their believe and make improvements.
A buddhi-tree, where the Buddha take his first step into the religious world, could be the linker between mundane and religious world.

CONCEPT TO SHAPE The tree top is the gallery part while the space underneath the gallery is like a space underneath a tree. The shape of the building is formed by a serious ellipse sections rotating in a certain angle. The shape finally fits the geographic condition well, creating a public space which is similar to the space underneath a big tree.

The Integrating System
The intergraing system is formed with the tree top, the branches and the cluster of leaves.
Put the tree top, the branches and cluster together, the whole tree-like gallery is formed. People would appreciate the Tibetan Buddhism in the cluster-like exhibition hall, at the same time, they have a space to communicate, have a rest and enjoy the beautiful scenes of Wudangzhao.
Branches: transportation and public space Clusters: exhibition halls and offices.
Finally `
Structure and Detail
The steel strips in different directions are in various diameters. The bolder and slimmer strips formed a double-layer skin for the building, which is energy saving and is of aesthetic value.

The new facility we have envisioned isn’t just a fresh, dynamic space; the infrastructure that powers it can be at the cutting edge. Aalborg University seeks to lead Europe in 21st century education and research. It shows strong faculties and cross-disciplinary initiatives in sustainability management and energy planning and is home to the Danish Building Research Institute. The nation of Denmark has set more aggressive targets for renewable energy infrastructure than any other developed nation. In light of this, Aalborg University should aim for carbon-neutral energy consumption in any new facilities. As a demonstration that this is feasible, this research project intends to show that a wind-powered data Cloud computing, or centralized data storage center can be designed to serve both information and software, can be designed to accommodate and heat. just this range of computational requirements - from web-based tools and ser vices to demanding computational models and problemsolving. Indeed, in order for the university to adapt to ever-changing and ever-digitizing world, T H E D A N I S H the university must form a cohesive strategy for PREROGATIVE its digital infrastructure; this centralized data D e n m a r k i s a t t h e center is proposed as one component of that forefront of renewable strategy. e n e r g y i n te g r a t i o n . W h i l e i t m a y b e PERSPECTIVE t e m p t i n g t o r e s t “Cloud computing” is a bit of a misnomer. To o n l a u r e l s , A a l b o r g the user of these services, it is easy to imagine University can push data and software simply disappearing into t h e a g e n d a a n d the ether. As local hardware become smaller demonstrate innovative and reduces in computational capacity, the initiatives. actual embodiment of our information becomes Wind energy is making illusory. Nevertheless, the information we significant penetration generate, analyze, and manipulate requires into electricity production at 29% but fossil fuels space and power, and a lot of it. and waste incineration still provide a majority of space heating needs through combined heat Cloud computing and big data present unique and power generation systems and district heat challenges and oppor tunities in terms of supply lines. energy demand. The U.S. General Services Administration migrated its 17,000 employees Additionally, Aalborg University stands to benefit from internal servers to Google Apps and saved from a centralized data center strategy. Cross- 90% of server electricity consumption and disciplinary research benefits from a collaborative 85% of the associated CO2 emissions. While environment; cloud computing is proving to be the cloud computing revolution has made the an effective tool toward that end. Web-based storage and manipulation of large data sets software like Dropbox or Google Drive allow easier and more efficient, the computational access and cooperation and a university data needs of our data-hungry society continue to center allows for development of these innovative outpace these server consolidation efforts. In platforms. Even more traditional research, 2010, data centers accounted for as much as particularly in engineering and science, will 1.5% of global electricity consumption, and the benefit from new digital infrastructure. Numerical amount of electricity used by data centers will simulations ranging from atmospheric science only continue to grow. to vehicle aerodynamics to nanotechnology can require significant computational resources.
It can be assumed that all electricity used by these data centers is converted to heat, and aside from a handful of demonstration projects, this heat is typically wasted. PRINCIPLES Instead of relying on these traditional sources for heat for the new facility, the data center can be essentially used as a heat pump for space heating needs. The electricity supplied to the data center for computational needs gets converted into heat. Typically, this heat is removed and vented to the atmosphere. It would be easy and straightforward to say that this is acceptable since the electricity can be supplied by wind in Denmark - no need to worry about wasting energy if it’s directly from a renewable source. However, we can take advantage of this heat stream (in the same way that is done for waste incineration) and supplant some of the heating requirements for surrounding buildings. Figure X shows one potential strategy for recovering waste heat. Depending on the distribution scheme and the characteristic temperatures, several recovery schemes can be explored to determine which will be the most efficient in using the recovered heat. It may also be possible to new water-cooled electronics and server designs may be incorporated Heat Recovery Scheme
S t u d i e s a t L aw r e n c e B e r ke l ey N a t i o n a l Laboratory have shown that typical energy use intensity (EUI) for data center computer hardware is roughly 270 Watts per square meter. For a 400 square meter data center this amounts to 108 kW of recoverable heat. As an approximation, a typical education building in the United States requires .45 x 109 Joules per square meter per year for space heating, or an average space heating demand of about 14 Watts per square meter.
At this use intensity, our new 48,000 square foot facilities will require 672 kW for space heating, so about one-sixth of the building’s space heating could be provided by data center waste heat. A larger and more power-intensive data center would in fact provide more data storage and computational power for the university, more public access bandwidth for cloud computing, and therefore more space heating for the facility. “Free cooling,” or cooling supplied from outside air, is likely possible as well given typical ambient temperatures in Aalborg, Denmark. This prompts further investigation of more appropriate space heating demand estimations, energy storage and management modeling, and thermodynamic cycle analysis.

For architecture, the entire scheme is to “circulate the water vertically”, which is in response to the ways, which we get from research, modern artists deal with water. My part is a water collecting system. The scheme allows the building to adapt to the local climate map. In addition, the “collector” takes cues from the historical spot’s roof, forming a flexible spatical type, which fit the buildign into the local culture calendar.
