â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing disappears completely ... In space, what came earlier continues to underpin what follows ... Preexisting space underpins not only durable spatial arrangements, but also representational spaces and their attendant imagery and mythic narratives.â&#x20AC;? (Henri Lefebvre, The Production of Space)

Having finished the Bachelor of Urban Planning in Hunan University and Master of Urban Design in Washington University in St. Louis, I am looking forward for further career as an Urban Designer in an architectural design firm. SMITHGROUP is one of the best companies I would like to serve. I believe a practical, multidisciplinary and cross-cultural firm would be the most suitable place in regard of my capability, profession and experience. It would be my great honor to work with your as an urban designer / architect or any other related job opportunities. My willing to focus on the domain of Urban Design derives from my interest in how artificial spaces can influence, benefit or even re-shape the society. During my undergraduate study I took an architecturecentric planning education with my first three year trained as an architecture student, and then led into urban planning in the last two years. I gradually found what to me is fascinating about spatial design, which is how significant the role of space plays for contemporary modern citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives for the fact that different forms of space, be it physical or social, can provide the possibility for various activities, or the production of relationships to take place. Though my first approach towards design starts from architecture, through studying in college, I came to realize the limitation of architecture. When thinking and practicing beyond the scale of a building, spatial design starts to be more interactive and influential with the society. That is the scale at which seeking spatial solutions, especially when collaborating with a group, requires more creativity, logical thinking and communicating skills. That would be just the type of work that I am enthusiastic about. My knowledge has been profoundly broadened by my graduate program. We explored how infrastructure can be regarded as the future of urban design, how social morphology and spatial forms are related and influencing each other as overlapped systems and so on. From my understanding Urban design is a synthetic work, and a responsible urban designer must address all needs of different stakeholders for a composite vision. My educational experience has brought me a multi-scaled comprehensive understanding of spatial design, covering a series of works from micro-scale buildings like housing, libraries and museums, to macro-scale master planning of an urban core or even overall planning of a metropolitan area. I have got a strong feeling about how differences in culture and society are integrated into multiple scales of designs, and I have also learnt how to work in groups with people from different cultures and backgrounds. I believe I am qualified as an entry level urban designer with sufficient computer modeling and drawing skills. The six-month internship in Hunan University Design Institute Co.,ltd is also a precious experience of training toward a productive, well-organized, professional designer, through which I learned how to produce in limited time, to collaborate with a group, and be responsible for my work. In short, the best words to summarize my major qualities could be versatile, efficient and collaborative. I hope that my experience and personality would make me qualified to fill in your vacancy. Please feel free to contact me by 314-398-9094 or via email at suhaoyang@wustl.edu for further information. Thank you for your attention and consideration.

CONTÎ&#x17E;STING BOUNDÎ&#x203A;RIES - City scale - conceptual urban design 2019 MUD Studio 713, Washington University in St.Louis Team member: Shaoxuan Liu, Jieyuan Zhang, Haoyang Su Location : New York, United States Instructor : Petra Kempf, Viren Brahmbhatt

In 2012, the Canarsie tunnel through which the L train runs, was completely flooded due to the super storm Sandy causing major damages to the tunnel. To repair this piece of infrastructure the L line was announced to be shutted down, with the question of disruption within an urban network being obviously a great concern, particularly if a piece of infrastructure is the only mode of connection between Manhattan, the most significant epicenter, and the other 4 boroughs. Such mono-centric concentration proves to be a drawback as Brooklyn is housing a large number of people working in Manhattan, making them dependant on the L Train corridor. The objective of this studio revolves around the notion of testing multi-centric scenarios in regards to a transportation infrastructure rupture. What if life along the L train corridor becomes an all-inclusive conduit that continually initiates and fosters a playground for emerging lifestyles between the borough of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Learning from various agents, such as musicians, vendors, and skateboarders who constantly appropriate the public realm along the L train corridor, this project revolves around various degrees of scalar operations that blur the boundary between the public and private in order to occupy it. Within this realm, our project projects the possibility of creating collective spaces that truly operate as a collective without contesting the integrity of the individual.

The observation now starts to turn into our own understanding towards the production of boundaries between public and private. Given that contesting boundaries has became a common lifestyle in New York City, it is essential for us to develop a framework for studying how those contests are played out in terms of centrality of urban lives .

Regulated collective apace

Being documented in early 2000s, POPS as a formal term for those public accessible private spaces has shown a highly regulated condition , centralized in Manhattan. Such formalized centrality of urban lives however, has not yet taken over the boroughs other than Manhattan, making it a unique disconnectivity which we see values in.

The pattern existing in brooklyn can be more or less recognized as a decentralized condition .

Agents challenge the physical edges, such as the building envelope of a building or the rail or fence of a park; other agents are re-appropriating the use for the collective realm and temporarily creating â&#x20AC;&#x153;Invisible thresholdsâ&#x20AC;? around them, with musicians playing on the train platform or skaters claiming a corner on Union Square. Learning from the existing spatial language of actively contesting the boundaries in New York City, this project imagines scenarios that invert the existing ground through occupation: collective spaces, that may be truly collectively owned by the collective.

Within this context we envision a flexible platform operating in various scales that encourages the collective to re-appropriate the boundary between the public and private realm. Through the introduction of a spatially driven kit of parts, that blurs the boundaries between public and private, this project envisions the possibility of combining various spatial forms for multiple uses and time frames.. Those tools will foster a collective spaces to merge into a continuous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;playgroundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for everyday lives in New York City.

With new types of collevtive spaces emerging inside private properties with or without regulations, new tool boxes are being developed .

What if those spaces are connected within a shared platform for collective uses, forming a new integrated 'playground' for contesting boundaries like 'L' train, as well as a new type of informal business ?

We are imagining a scenario inverting the existing occupied space: figure ground, into the condition that we call it ‘ground as figure’ - collective spaces are truly collectively owned and for the collective good. In our proposal a new platform / system should be designed to encourage those reappropriation / occupation to take place in collective space and negotiated by everyone , with suggested spatial toolbox for blurring the existing

boundaries should be developed for future designers in response to this scenario . It sets up a stage for contesting boundary by combining various forms of space for production and recreation together, merging into a continuous ‘playground’ for various city lives.

When it comes to what role Modderfontein plays in the conversation about Elements of Division and Connection in Johannesburg, it stands out as a significant experimental site for the fact that it is a peripherial site where two watersheds intersects and cut the site in halfs, with well reserved nature and existing industrial and educational resources yet to be connected. With its location next to Sandton - the citiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Job Hub, Modderfontein is also forseened to be a potentially new type of urbanism as its own. Today the resources in Modderfontein, including academic institutes, natural and industrial resources and civic lives are fragmented or disconnected. Nor is the place benefiting from the Gautrain station because nothing is built within the Â˝ mile radius from the station. In 2050, Modderfontein will be a place of attraction where people can experience as a urban park with well reserved nature, as well as an axis of interconnected job hub, academic hub and cultural site with enriched spiritual landscape, civic lives and places for tourism. The project is trying to distinguish how urban areas are divided by natural landscape, and seek for opportunities of stitching fragmented lands and resources by cultivating connective urban activities. The key point is how to maintain civicness as a TOD project, cultivate spiritual beliefs as social bond, and coexist with natural open landscapes as a periphery site.

City scale position : Innovation, Patent & Industry Johannesburg is known as a gold mining city and a world trade center for gold , as well as all industries built upon it. So Geomorphology has no doubt profound and decisive influence on how the city are developed and how does it grow. Besides, due to the fact that Johannesburg is a hilly city with a rather high latitude, following the topography , chasing the sunlight and stay closer to water seems to be the engines for settlements. Thus, it appears that the whole city is divided into segments according to traffic corridors sitting on ridges, different watersheds and various slopes among them. 28

City scale position : Geomorphology Geomorphology is also considered the element of division because of how fragmented the city has been created in relationship to the natural situation. The unbalanced development between the south and north, as well as the rich and average places has caused even worse divisions.

City scale position : Religion

Micro scale position : Site documentation

South African people are rather religious. By 2013, 84.2% of the whole population are more or less considering themselves as a Christian household member. With so many denominations existing among the large religious population, it is mark worthy that the most popular denominations in South Africa are those which combines Christianity and their local African beliefs together as a Hybrid - like Zion and Shembe, just to name a few.

Modderfontein is one of the few natural reserved sites within the city. All the characteristics makes it an opportunity for citizens to re-encounter.

In this project, Religion is considered as one significant elements in terms of building up connections within city. With spaces for worship implemented in the core area of communities , it plays an vital role in providing public space and social space for essential public lives and activities. Expanding and enhancing the existing religion network would definitely help enriching connectivity. 30

Shading: important as an physical condition for social activities to take place. Shading on the site appears in terms of multiple forms. Grass & Bricks : When a brick piles off , the grass or soil underneath may appear. Such conversation between quality as an artificial built environment and the quality as a natural reserved site, should be strengthened. Connective Infrastructure : The existing landscape has created spatial separations , but it also creates some special kinds of spatial quality. Visual connection & Framing : Its industrial heritage now not only stands out as a production site, but also has a potential to attract tourists as a landmark or place of interest in the future.

Vision 2050

This project is trying to distinguish how urban areas are divided by natural landscape, and seek for opportunities of stitching fragmented lands and resources by cultivating connective urban activities. The key point is how to maintain civicness as a TOD project and coexisting natural open landscapes as a periphery site.

In 2050, Modderfontein will be a place of attraction where people can experience as a urban park with well reserved nature, as well as an axis of interconnected job hub, academic hub and cultural site with enriched spiritual landscape, civic lives and places for tourism.

In short, under the vision 2050 this site will be a significant arrival for new residents as the town where they live and work. Stitching the fragmented civicness, natural and spiritual by implementing inter-connected leisure, cultural, commercial and education systems, will be en experiment to test how effective the connecting elements work when building a new town. 32

Divisions Today, resources including academic institutes natural and industrial resources and civic live are fragmented / disconnected. Nor is the place benefiting from the Gautrain Station because nothing is built within the 1/2 mile radius from the station.

1-2-3 Structure 1 Axis: the nature reserved area around the main stream and its buffer zone which divides the sites apart into South and North; 2 corridors : the Innovation corridor around Gautrain Station and the Civic - Industrial corridor connecting a lake and industrial sites owned by AECI; and 3 Anchors: Lake(Nature), Gautrain Station (Civic + Nature) and Slope (Civic + Industrial).

Spatial Framework The design area looks into two separate districts : 1. Gautrain Station area - new residents, retail and new job hubs; 2. Downtown Axis - linkage between lake, colleges, downtown Modderfontein and industrial sites.

Spatial Framework The Connective Tissue, aiming at building connection between Civic, Natural and Spiritual, is defined by intermediate urban systems : Cultural, Commercial, Leisure and Education.

Gautrain Station Sky-walk This is the intersection of nature and civicness. The Gautrain station, as the arrival for new residents and visitors, works as a bundle of retail, small businesses and activities in a loose arrangement, connected by a sky walk system on top of the rail tracks leading the way to a waterfront library. The library itself is a core part of the whole Cultural system. Across the street, the same piece infrastructure fades onto the ground and meets the circulation from the residential area and joins to a mini bus station. The riverfront plaza is defined by a gradient of differently sized grass pools. Integrated Infrastructure System

Downtown Axis Square This is the intersection of nature, civicness and spiritual, surrounding a civic plaza where circulation from the main street and riverfront can transform into the linear industrial park through a sequence of different courtyards or gardens. The linear park axis is strengthened by a long â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - using the concept of framing, and a sequence of watchtowers. The square connects to a lot of shading spaces of surrounding buildings, as well as a variable grass pool consistent with the Gautrian Station area as one of the basic landscape design approach. The use and occupation can change according to time by setting up different furnitures, retailers or cafe. Retail

Regulatory Code 1. Gradient from civic to natural should be reflected by public space design. Various languages , including infrastructures, street furnitures, pillars and tree pools should be used under a consistent griding framework according to its location to the riverfront. 2.Density Control. The closing the block is toward the riverfront, the narrower footprint are the buildings inside allowed to be built in order to open up the public access to riverfront area. As compensation, they could be permitted to build more stories thanks to the existence of hilly lanscape. 3.In response tho the hilly lanscape and curved road network, the blocks should be divided roughly 90m south-north but 180-230m west-east because having a longer block with the long side parallel to the contour line can ensure the flexibility of blocks. 4.Volume control. In order to densify the new town, mixed-use developments are more encouraged to be implemented with public spaces facing the street.

SOCIΛL ΞQUΛLIZΞR - Reurbanizing the Previous PRUIT - IGOE Site - Parcel Scale - Architectural Design 2019 Hyp Cup Competition, Washington University in St.Louis Team Member: Jing Chen, Jiankun Chen, Haoyang Su Location : St.Louis, United States Instructor : Petra Kempf

Architects can change people’s environment and influence their future in a positive way. They can create “happy spaces” that contribute to people’s wellbeing. Inserting a building in a nice environment makes this goal easier. But the real defy is how to do the opposite, how to influence in a positive way the surroundings throughout the architecture? There are places that lack identity and whose existences are hardly linked with culture, history or tradition in cities. These so-called “periphery” or “degraded” areas are remained isolated and un-integrated. They are often damaged and in need of reconstruction due to lousy planning or no planning at all. The architects’ mission is, therefore, to recognize the character of the site and create its ‘sense of place’. This creation looks into the transformtion of negative spaces into positive ones by bringing out its inspiring and attractive qualities – “happy spaces”, by designing and building a “happy building” in an “unhappy environment”. Pruitt Igoe, also known as 'The death of modern architecture', is a perfect example of what could be defined as 'failed project' or 'unhappy space'. Digging in the social, historical and ecological evolutions behind this project, we try to understand the negative movitations behind destruction, such as social inequality, suburbanizaiton and hoplessness, and figure out a way to bring happiness back, in an 'equalized' way.

Behind the failure of Pruitt Igoe What happiness means to this specific site is the starting point of our conversation. Understanding the failure of Pruitt Igoe as a failure beyond the domain of spatial design helps us build up a comprehensive knowledge about the historical trend ongoing when the project was grounded. 44

The site today - where blight & opportunity unites This project is aimed to challenge the provocative opinion about Pruitt-Igoe as a failure of modern architecture design. In terms of what reason really lies behind its failure , we highly value the potential what this site as the very junction of crisis and opportunity can become, and further more, starting to change its adjacent neighborhoods as a catalyst for local growth and re-urbanization.

Transformation What we are trying to propose is a mixed-use & multi-class building typology that can form into a community which has the ability to encompass social evolution, as well as expandable into adjacent neighborhoods. With a sustainable mode that can easily transform itself into different uses, it tries to bring back happiness to a periphery vacant site for decades that was abandoned due to imbalanced social-spatial productions, by delivering the missing qualities, possibilities and hopes that should have been made into being on the exact same distinctive site. 47

H.O.P.Ξ + BRIDGE N' BRIDGING - Comparative Urban Research - Infrastructural Urabn Design 2018 MUD Studio 711, Washington University in St.Louis Team Member(H.O.P.E): Zhaokai Chen, Kathryn Karl, Cierra Higgins, Rachel Madryga Individual (Bridge n' Bridging) Location : Detroitt, United States & St.Louis, United States Instructor : Patricia Heyda, Linda Samuels

This studio is an interdisciplinary, systems-based urban design studio emphasizing the interconnectivity of macro to micro level systems – megaregion, city,district, neighborhood, block and lot – and their spatial, social, and environmental design opportunities. Hybridizing strategies from landscape architecture,architecture, and urban design, the aim is to utilize the tenets of infrastructural urbanism to develop next generation, integrated design solutions that explore sustainable, innovative and creative proposals for revitalizing cities of the former rust belt. Unlike trendy coastal cities with skyrocketing property costs, peak traffic, and fierce competition for space, renegade cities are experimenting with new forms of planning, design, and infrastructure; these cities are petridishes for demonstration projects that can be tested, iterated and exported to other contexts. Detroit is our petri dish; St. Louis is our target context; design proposals for catalytic new infrastructural moments of intensity are our opportunities to project the city’s next future. We begin the project mapping comparative aspects of St. Louis and Detroit, focusing in particular on the interrelationships between urban systems – water, waste, energy, food, mobility, information, power, ecology, etc. – and the characteristics that both connect and contrast the two cities, dentifying projective opportunities for transformation or creation.

FOLDED CHANGSHA - Urban Design - Restoring City's Image 2017, Hunan University Team Member: Yuxiao Fu, Haoyang Su Location : Changsha, China Instructor : Hui Xiang

China has entered an era where the speeding pace of economic and urban growth is starting to threaten both the arificial environment and natural landscape. With new town emerging and cities updating themselves by demolishing old parcels replaced by new projects in order to fit new density planning, Chinese cities are stepping into a fast-expanding era confronting the cost of vanishing context and memories, and even worse, gentrification. Some may concern that China is following the path which United States took back in early 20th century. In response to such concerns, "City Betterment and Ecological Restoration" was brought out has a hotspot within the domain of Urban Planning in 2017. This initiative soon became a trend of academic discussion and explorations in the field of urban practices with the goal of stitching back the consistency of urban contexts between the old and new, as well as following the principles of landscape ecology. This project aims to explore how can city's image be restored / rebuilt by creating new typologies of buildings and different scales of open exterior spaces. By integrating the spatial framework of the site into its outer context, this project tries to transform an underdeveloped peripherial site in Changsha into an indispensable agglomerated urban area.

LIBRΛRY OF OVΞRLΛPPΞD LOCΛLIZΛTION - Architectural Design in historical community 2015 , Hunan University Team Member: Yan Yu, Haoyang Su Location : Changsha, China Instructor : Wei Zhang, Erxi Liu

Architects can change people’s environment and influence their future in a positive way. They can create “happy spaces” that contribute to people’s wellbeing. Inserting a building in a nice environment makes this goal easier. But the real defy is how to do the opposite, how to influence in a positive way the surroundings throughout the architecture? China has entered an era where the speeding pace of economic and urban growth is starting to threaten both the arificial environment and natural landscape. With new town emerging and cities updating themselves by demolishing old parcels replaced by new projects in order to fit new density planning, Chinese cities are stepping into a fast-expanding era confronting the cost of vanishing context and memories, and even worse, gentrification. Therefore "Urban Villages" has been symbolic and standing out as a unique typology of informal cities that only exist in China, despite they varies in terms of forms and densities. Baiguoyuan Alley, for instance, is a vivid example of "Urban Village" in China: mixed textures, contexts and footprints coexist in a same block where primitive roads and parcels are preciously kept as what they were 1 century ago, yet surrounded by new hi-rise developments and are mantained in fair quality. A library built on top of such a land of overlaped layers of constructions should be a catalyst and opportunity to re-activate the attractiveness of the community.

choose some houses with community characteristics and nodes, determine the "old town courtyard family" as the positive place spirit of the community.

The formation of a positive factor of the spirit of the place: from the path series of neighborhood communication visit intimate unit space, let memory into the whole, vitality into the old street.

New buildings built around the site. The community needs to introduce new vitality and continue the old memory. Therefore, “implanting a new space compatible with the original behavioral mode” has become the focus of this design thinking, in order to strengthen the old and new.

OTHÎ&#x17E;R WORKS - HEXA-LOCK - DAL + LCD 2015 Summer Workshop -

2015 , Hunan University Team Member: Zhiheng Jiao, Siyuan Wang, Jingxin Xu, Yan Yu Location : Changsha, China Instructor : Lei Yu, Biao Hu

basic triangle reciprocal structure

constitution of a basic hexagon unit

combination between basic units

Formed from three single triangle reciprocal structure, a basic hexagon unit named HEXA-LOCK was picked and nicknamed by us as our basic forming structure. Each bar inside the reciprocal triangles is angled about 20Â° to adjust to the demand of joing each other at the position of about 1/3 of the length, which causes a lift of the whole triangle structure at the value of about 1/5 of the thickness of one bar. Triangles that form one hexagon unit follows the same rule, so does the combination between one basic unit and others and finally emerge into an entire form. 83

Load condition analysis

two forms of bars which results in two different directions of surface

reversed surface created by reversed-combined reciprocal units

When one basic unit is loading pressure, the pressure given to it would only be transfered in two ways: 1st. Normal stress converted into axial stress, force transfered to other units next to it in 3 directions; 2nd.Axial stress divert/converge and continue to force on other units within the rest direction as axial stress. Direction of curved surface created by basic units can be controlled by two different forms of bars. 84

Stick bars connected by cables, not stable enough

Board bars connected by mortise, stable but not strong enough

Use 3D printer to print special joints in order to strenghthen the mortise

The Force test shows that all the weight of the construction is pressured on four bases linked to the ground, so we think of a way to strenghthen the bottom bars and units, let the whole structure attach more with the ground, dispersive force on bottom bars. The costruction should be built as solid as a tank so that it can stand longer in extreme environments like that of Changsha . So we use a 3D printed join key to strenthen board bars and make each hexagon unit really JOINT together. 85

Strongest western explosure at 15:00

Shield with an arch structure Sunlight analysis shows that most of the time our site is NOT explosed directly under the sunlight except 13:00 to 16:00 P.M, when sunlight comes

from the west.

western explosure

segregation of living area from common activity area

Therefore, the western explosure gave us the opinion to build an arch-like construction to avoid direct explosure, create a rest zone and at the same time benefit from the interesting shadow the sunlight creates.

Inactive region surruounded due to unreasonable Image length-width ratio

Circulation after construction

Traffic analysis of of the existing site shows that the key to develop our design lies in following two problems, which are most urgent problems to solve: 1. Unreasonable length-width ratio of the sorrounded space defines an inactive region; 2.Additional construction ought not to cause negatice affact to the efficiency of current circulation. 86

Add green to the interval of construction

Use lateral structures to create visual climax and change image length-width ratio Another point we responded to the site is creating more GREEN. Since the existing site owns a lot of pattern and texture which can be able to give people natural & warm feeling, like wood and bricks;we decide to

Existing siteďź&#x161;Lack of green

create certain possiblity for green plants to live naturally on our construction.Also,we use lateral

structures to create visual climax and change image length-width ratio.

Plan A:Self-supporting structure

Plan B(abandoned):Span wire structure

When we discussed about structure we were instructed clearly that we must make our construction self bearing.So that we made sequences of bearing experiments. 87

Equity - regarding objects with equal standard, treating them equally and giving them the possibility to enjoy the same facility as usual people. That is the attitude we advocate for in regard of seeing the disabled. The gap of mobility between disabled and normal people are eliminated here, with spirit of respect,no over-mercy, no looking-down-upon conveyed by the whole design.

As a container it should be disabled - friendly as well as promoting the interaction between disabled and normal people. The Museum consists of 3 major sections : 1. Arts works made by disabled Artists ; 2.Normal exhibition but can be easilly accessed by disabled ; 3.Experiencing area that allow normal people to understand the way disabled people live and feel.

RECOGNITION

Providing more choices for the youth group is the purpose of this apartment design. The youth group is roughly divided into three categories: single nobles, Dink families, and shared tenants.

IDEAS

Meeting the needs of young people while enjoying independent free space and sharing public space.The split-level inner corridor apartment, through the split-level treatment, enables each unit to pass through the north and south, thus obtaining sufficient lighting and ventilation, and the entire residence is highly utilized.

ACTION

Like to receive friends at home - need "one and a half" bathroom + public exchange meal. Like the space combination - "half room" multi-functional space + storage space. Like open space - separated by glass

Unit house

Large area, high price, public and private partitions are not obvious. Fixed function, low flexibility, suitable for generations of large families.Not suitable for youth and shared groups

Apartment house

Small size and low price. Highly functional and flexible.Suitable for youth and shared groups

Interlaced house

Further intensive space, more combinability. Can be divided into smaller units. Suitable for both youth and shared groups, but also for family life

- The living room, dining room and kitchen are located on the entrance floor, and other more intimate spaces include two I and the bathroom are located above or below the building. - A group of B-type units can be transformed into a group of 10 youth dormitories, occupying three floors, two to four rooms common to one, plus a common living room and kitchen dining room where young people can meet and exchange. 92 - Open a B-type unit to create a public space that runs through three floors
