FIELD We are where we are. It is an old saying in my hometown. I believe when architecture resonates with its place, time, people, and culture, a kind of power called Field appears and gives impact on everything within it.

SHELTER Public Welfare School in Sri Lanka
Location: Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka Type: Pro bono / Team Work Date: 2016/12— 2019/09 Team: Shiyu Liu, Bowen Lei, Shiyu Guo, Le Lee, Cheng Chen, Qixu Xie Contribution: analysis, design, drawing, model Supervisor: Professor Xiaodong Li Photographer: Haowen Bai
Anuradhapura is a city in Sri Lanka with an abundant history of 2000 years, where Shi-hara origins from. These years, sexual abuse cases are common in this area, and the drop-out rate of local schools is high. By cooperating with a local NGO, we designed and built a welfare school for the kids. Two rectangular volumes, one with classrooms and a library, and the other with office and restrooms are arranged in the middle of the narrow field. To cope with tropical rain climate, we enlarge the roof space into a second floor to form a thermal insulation layer. As a library, this space also responds to the psychological needs of orphans and provides a religious atmosphere. 01
GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT Located in the northern part of Sri Lanka, Seppukulama is a small village surrounded by natural lake and swamp. The tropical climate allows flourish in vegetation and builds a close relationship between people and nature. However, extreme torridity can also threaten people's lives.

Due to the impact of civil war and weak economy, children here suffer from three major threats: extreme climate, high drop-out rate from school, and abuse from family. CED, a local non-government organization, has intervened since 2014 to provide protection and educational aids. Thus, the need of a building acting as a shelter arose.

STUDY OF BODY MEMORIES We hope that the new shelter will be closely connected with the culture and memory of local children. In a year-long survey, we found that four elements have become the key to children's living environment: spiritual spaces, learning spaces, climate and materials. Our design starts with responding to these four aspects and explores the physical and psychological intimacy of space and people.

Lilong, a typical housing typology in central Shanghai since the 1850s, has been faced with a series of problems in the process of urbanization. Focusing on an abandoned market in one of Lilong districts, we try to revive the old community with a micro-update of its public space. By converting the formerly closed courtyard into an open living room, we create a knot in the narrow alley, which connects different parts of the community and activates the street life. Multiple layers of boundaries are used to define the central space, recalling poetic experiences in Lilong spaces. Standing as a pavilion in the center of Shanghai, it provides a unique perspective of the city about both the old and new, the light and heavy. 08
CONTEXT: SILENT LILONG IN CENTRAL SHANGHAI In the central part of Shanghai, more than 20% of the housing area locates in Lilong, a typical housing district formed since the 1850s with dense residences and narrow alleys. These years, more and more skyscrapers have risen in the city center and left Lilong districts under shade and neglect.

SITE MEMORY: DECAY OF FORMAL MARKET The site locates on Jiangyin Road, a typical Lilong district in central Shanghai. It was once a famous flower-and-bird market from the 1980s to 2010s. In recent years, it has been neglected and has decayed into ruins. Thinking of sparse public spaces in Lilong, we propose to convert it into a community center to contain new public life for people here.

CO-CAVE Yaodong Cultural Complex
Location: Shanxi, China Type: Academic / Team work Date:2016/08-2019/12 Team: Shiyu Liu, Yuan Yao Contribution: analysis, design, drawing, render Supervisor: Professor Deyin Luo Prize: Gold Prize of Field Research at Tsinghua University
Yaodong cave dwelling is a particular type of living on the Loess Plateau in Shanxi Province. During the process of urbanization, however, those vernacular architecture are facing a sharp decline. Using the typological methodology, we studied how varieties develop from one specific prototype to meet different families’ living requirements. Then following the existing typological logic of Yaodong, we proposed a transformation from separate abandoned caveyards into a connected public culture complex, arousing new resonations between Yaodong and people’s lives today.

Section of Yaodong dwelling
Yaodong exists on the Loess Plateau, where many gullies were formed due to soil and water loss. Three types of landforms are created as loess tableland, loess slope, and river valley. People here dig into different terrains for dwellings. On the loess ridge, people first dig down the courtyard, and then dig caves around.
PRIVATE LIFE IN CAVE
Yaodong, as a type of living space, is closely related to the lives and customs of local people. It contains two kinds of spaces, yards and caves. The caves mainly carry private living functions, and public activities occur in the yards. The orientation and layout of caves are affected by the Chinese traditional culture, Bagua and Fengshui.

DECLINE OF CAVE YARDS IN URBANIZATION With the intensification of urbanization, more and more people choose to move away from the old cave dwellings and build new houses on the ground. We can see from the satellite image that the original dense caves have become more and more sparse. The decline of Yaodong is a worrying phenomenon.

SOLUTION: TRANSFORM ABANDONED CAVE YARDS TO PUBLIC SPACES In response to the problems mentioned above, we have proposed a new plan for using abandoned cave yards. By combining the original cave yards into an integrated public space, we intend to relocate the locals back to the yards and caves, creating a new public center in the village.

TYPOLOGICAL VOCABULARY
sky
“Tian Yuan Di Fang”, circinal sky and square ground, is a traditional Chinese interpretation of the universe, and this is embodied in the prototype of Yaodong cave dwelling. Variations develop from this prototype to meet different needs. Beginning from the study of interfaces, we summarize those types in five categories and recombine them to create new public spaces, arousing new resonation between Yaodong and people’s lives today.

TRILOGY: FROM SKY TO GROUND Three kinds of experiences were created from on the ground to below, retaining the traditional living experience, and brings the possibility of new public life at the same time.
UPPER LAYER GROUND LANDSCAPE On the ground, changes in the landscape imply the existence of the space below.
MIDDLE LAYER CEILING AND SKYLIGHT In between the two layers, through the design of arch-shaped ceiling, the introduction of skylight implies changes in external time.

FLOWING THROUGH EARTH A series of abandoned courtyards are reorganized and connect different new public spaces. They together form a micro-settlement. From outdoor to indoor, various spatial experiences can remind the villagers of their collective memories of living in Yaodong, while new public spaces act as an attractive core to unite them again. Here in this new complex, public life has been redefined.

Traditionally, Yaodong was lit with sidelight, and it was hard for such cave spaces to get enough light, especially for deep inside. As an underground structure, skylights play an important role in illuminating interior spaces. We create several types of skylights to adapt to different functions: scattering, linear, centralized and arraying. People walking through continuous space sequences can experience various lighting atmosphere. 20

This music studio located by the sea tries to be an anchor of the sea. Like a coordinate origin, it measures the abstract and enormous sea with three axes - a horizontal volume along the coastline, an underground volume close to the sea, and a vertical tower towards the sky. Along with the changes in light, sound, and sight, people can get three different experiences. 22

When a person stands by the sea, starting from his point, three relationships with the sea can be established: along the sea, perpendicular to the sea, and vertical to the sky. Walking on these three axes, the positions of people and the sea are constantly changing, forming different experiences. The design starts from this point and uses three linear volumes to establish a measure of the sea.

How to create human-made woods inside the natural ones, with the sky, the earth, and the trees? Relations between woods outside and inside keep changing with people moving on a sphere 1.5 meters below ground - from close but protected, to open while isolated. Different levels of intimacy and publicity are thus created in a shared flowing space.
