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, come up a new model of modern lives in metropolitan area.

Songyuanxia Community Center Mixed of Commercial and Cultural Project , Shenzhen, China Area: 20,000 sq. Ft | Personal Work Internship(Re-developed), June - August, 2011 Director: Jie Zhang, Xiaowei Huo
Songyuanxia is a historical village located in Shenzhen, China. The village there is unique and meaningful since it inherits the historical context. Nowadays, the Songyuanxia village is about to be reconstructed. High-rise residential buildings with a commercial center would emerge. Meanwhile, taking the old buildings' cultural meaning into consideration, some areas in the village with remnants of traditional Hakka buildings were earmarked for preservation. The design’s challenge was how to combine the old with the new. In addition, to create more public space for residents there is pivotal because that area is kind of deficient and crowded.

MODEL MAKING Inheriting the rhythm as well as the section shape of old buildings, the extension part brings more open public spaces which alleviates the narrow conditions between the old buildings. 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.

The 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)
Background 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. The site, about 250,000 sq. Ft. in area, is located on the foot of the hill to the west of the entrance square of the lamasery, where two streams along the east and west sides of the lamasery converging together. To the east of the site across the stream there are elms planted by the Great 2nd Living Buddha which has been a Holy Relic since then. And to the northwest up of the hill is the terrace for The Shoton Festival (Festival of Exhibiting huge scroll painting of Buddha).

STRUCTURAL DESIGN
1. The shape of the building is formed by a serious waving ellipse sections. Fitting into the site topography, the gallery, at the same time, defines a public space which is similar to the space underneath a big tree. 2. The 'branches" of the museum forms the tourists' circulation as well as the hiearchy of space and atmosphere 3. The steel strips in different directions are in various diameters. The bolder and slimmer strips forme a double-layer skin for the building, which is energy saving and is of aesthetic value.

Student Center of TJPU Combination of Offices, Lecture Halls and Auditorium , Tianjin, China Area: 150,000 sq. Ft | Personal Work Academic Work, March - May, 2011, TJU, China Director: Hongbin Bian The campus of Tianjin Polytechnic University is calm yet a kind of cheerleess. Our site is at the end of the central axis of the school. We can seldom see students enjoying the view of the lake and the teaching building along the lakeshore are serious and ordered. The design obeys this order without being stubborn and rigid. Also, it takes the advantage of the central lake and bring vitality to the school.

The interaction of the box-like parts and the big slope formed a rhythm of shape as well as space. In the upper parts of the building, the lower floor's space was released by the supporting structure. Thus, people can have a rest their enjoying the outdoor views. There is a skylight between every two rows of offices, which let light shed on the lower floor. Under the offices, there are big spaces.

VITAL ORGANS Cloud computing is changing the way we access and use our information. The centralization of computational infrastructure allows for efficiency gains, both in terms of energy use and infrastructure needs. By centralizing the computing power needed for the new facility, it would also be possible to recapture waste heat from the data center to use for space heating the new facility. We envision this data center as not only the brain but the lungs of the new buildings as well, providing computational services as well as critical space heating.

INTERDISCIPLINES Aalborg University is rightly acknowledging the importance of cross-disciplinary research. Modern problems require modern solutions, and most of today’s issues cannot be addressed one discipline at a time. Our design incorporates space that is not intended for any one particular discipline. Instead, the predicted new space needed by department for faculty offices and group rooms (48,000 square meters) is combined and mixed. An open, dynamic work environment will foster important problem-solving and research for the problems of tomorrow.

Back Water Tour Biennale
Master Plan and Architectural Design Project, Kochi, India Master Plan: Group Work with Ruomei Zhang Architecture: Solo Work Academic Work, Feburary 2013 - May 2013 Director: Shohei Shigematsu & Christy Cheng Indian Culture is delicately and subtly associated with water. Kochi is the place where India has its first Biennale, by which Indian art could embed itself into world art map. Based on the research of culture and local resource ( religious, economical and tourist), we apply a dispersed model, instead of the first concentrate one, to “blend” the biennale with the local context, creating a new curating way of art fair as well as gallery spatial type for India.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
SITE ANALYSIS AND CONCEPT Went through the phases of master planning and urban design, we zoom in to architectural scale. We chose two historical sites and, one with each site, did rennovation projects. 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.

This Project is a combination of two related schemes. The first phase of the project is to come up with a prototype by folding a piece of paper, which guarantee a successful process of faricating the prototype through a single piece of metal board. In this project, we go back and forth to test the joint part by computer program(solidworks) and 1:1 scale paper model. Touching the discpline of Engineering, we understand better of how computer programs(solidworks, grasshopper, Rhino) and physical model cooperate with each other.

The second phase of the project is to develop a interactive shading system with the prototype in consider of its geometrical properties. Controlled by a light sensor and motivated by arduino and two servo moters, the installation is doing a open-and-close movement. Jumping between physical model( paper and wood) and digital one( Rhino, Grasshopper and Firefly), we understand better of the future of computer based design. Computer will no longer be a modeling tool. Instead, it will go increasingly further into smart design such as simulation and interaction.
