Dear friends,

I started to conceive this portfolio from a series of my favourite albums about seasons. They helped me find some key words for my projects but the process of building the whole story was still not easy. During this long journey of completing the story, I learned not only architectural design, but also history, culture, environment and other things. I am grateful for all the people and things I met in this process.

I am going to share the story I wrote myself and I hope you will enjoy it.

Sincerely, Zhu.

Reviving

Urban design in extreme climate

In historical legends, Loulan is a beautiful city on the silk road. However, due to the diversion of the river, water resources decreased sharply. Ancient countries launched wars one after another to compete for resources, and it finally disappeared in the desert.

Is it possible that in the future, in the desert with bad climate, people can build appropriate canals, open up the context of the desert and let the city grow again.

01

Geographic information of Lop Nur

The water, the desert and the legend

How the oasis comes

Loulan, once an important node of the ancient Silk Road, has disappeared, and the depletion of water resources is one of the important reasons. Although the forms are different, famous cities are always surrounded by famous rivers. Therefore, if anyone wants to build an oasis in the desert, it is very important to solve the problem of water.

Vertial ecology of Tianshan Mountains

The water source of Lop Nur area mainly comes from the Tianshan Mountains with rich vertical ecology The glacier of Tianshan Mountain is covered with snow all the year round and stores a lot of water. The temperature rises in spring, and the ice and snow melt to form rivers. The main source of Tarim River is the glacier melt water of Tianshan Mountain. It is the concentration of these currents that forms an oasis in the desert. Seine Huangpu River Nile Thames

River path finding - Experiment

Scientists have discovered a slime mold that can continuously expand outwards and leave the shortest path to find food. They also made a experience.They used this slime mold to simulate Tokyo's railway construction, and the results were surprisingly similar.

I have cultivated this slime mold for several weeks and tried to summarize the law of its growth.

Experimental setup Slime mold model Actual
Tokyo rail map

River path finding - Simulation

After learning the shortest path, I try to use wool algorithm to simulate the growth path of this slime mold. Zaha office also adopted this algorithm in the road design of Kartal-Pendik planning. Here are some of my simulation results and I choose one of them to apply to my urban design.

In the case of multiple points, the straight line is not the optimal solution of the route. The principle of wool algorithm is to make the straight lines attract each other to get the appropriate curve.

After the simulation results are obtained, the path needs to be simplified, and the wool algorithm needs to be simulated again to get the appropriate path in the city. The canal and train tracks can then be planned according to the path.

Water conveyance & transport system

The water network inside the urban complex is also important. The water conveyance system is divided into two parts, the upper part is mainly responsible for the business area, and the lower part is mainly responsible for the office area. The upper part of the internal traffic is connected with business and living area, and the lower part is connected with office and living area.

Youth practical education base

Under the influence of the double reduction policy, Chinese children have more time of their own, but various problems in reality make children not really have high-quality development.

In combination with China's current rural development plan, this youth practice education base is designed to give teenagers more social opportunities, more social experience, and help the countryside become better and better.

Gouxi, Quzhou, Zhejiang

Gouxi is an ordinary village in the western part of China's Zhejiang province and is undergoing some renewal. My grandfather lives here and was a carpenter in his youth; now he manages his orange orchard and vegetable plot like the other villagers. The village is about a 20 minute drive from the town, so it is easy to get to and from.

The building is made up by rounds and multiple curves, so the most traffic organizations are in curves too.

Ramps and tracks connect indoor and outdoor, and stairs connect up and down in series.

Users can use the moving sliding door and the ground with different properties to construct different activity spaces to meet different needs.

Sliding doors move by rails and rollers, the rails are protected by baffle, and rollers are hidden in the rail. The door and the door are connected by buffer components, which can protect the door and reduce the door gap. The connection between the roller and the door is a whole, which is firmly embedded on the door.

Qiantang River Tourism and Culture Museum

Qiantang river is one of the greatest river in China and its changes have directly affected the development of Hangzhou, a famous historical city in southern China. It is famous in China for its tide watching during the Mid Autumn Festival. The museum is designed to provide citizens with a great tidal viewing place and make it easier for visitors to understand the history of the Qiantang River.Especially create a mood of waiting for the tide.

History and culture of Qiantang Basin and Qiantang tide

6000 years ago

It was a vast of ocean.

An important Liangzhu civilization appeared in the Qiantang River Basin.

1500 years ago 10 years ago

Qiantang County moved the boundary to the foot of Fenghuang Mountain and determined the seawall boundary. With the excavation of the canal, Hangzhou has rapidly developed into a commercial city

Qian Liu, king of Wuyue, used bamboo cages filled with giant stones to build dams to control water and solve the flood at that time.

Excellent tide viewing places

Grand occasions of tide viewing

Because of the war and economy, Hangzhou Lin'an became the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time.

One-line tide

A slender white line is the most common form of tide.

The G20 was held in Hangzhou World Expo Center and attracted world attention.

Skyward tide

The tide dashed into the sky against an obstacle.

The site is located in Jiuxi, where the last skyward tide of Qiantang River appears and it is also the continuation of the Xihu (West Lake) scenic interest area. Besides, it is an important part of the future planning of Hangzhou city. In addition to most high-end residential areas, there are many open spaces where high-tech industries are being built, and ant Jinfu on the west side of the site is one of them.

Design ideas and landscape experience

Phase

Determine the position of viewing platform and courtyard according to the ebb and flow of tide and topography.

More details

Phase

Arrange the function boxes according to the streamline and the volume and reserve some spaces between them.

Phase

Design more details to meet the different demands and make viewing line more changes.

The whole design is based on the landscape experience of Qiantang tide, so it is an important element of the whole museum design. Through a two-dimensional combination of different simple sections, an attempt is made to create some threedimensional space with variation.

Vertical cemetery

Death is a festival that will come to everyone. Over time, life and death encroach on each other's space, and to solve this main problem, the idea of a vertical cemetery was proposed. According to relevant papers and materials, I abstracted the space of birth and death, arranged the functions of rituals, and used an algorithm to generate buildings to create the effect of growth and dissipation. Finally, I built a building that adapts to different terrains and is convenient for people to visit. A vertical cemetery with strong emotional connections.

Example

Upper part: tomb sweeping space

Personal area and public greenland in tomb sweeping space are both important, so they together with the necessary supporting structure form the unit of the upper part. These units and paths are contributed vertically upward according to the rules.

Simulations

Upward growth

Downward growth

Lower part: ashes storage space

There is less requiment of daily use of guests, horizontal traffic takes up more space. So the units in lower part are smaller and closer between themselves. And the rules of construction of lower part is similar with the upper part.
