LIGHT CONSTRUCTION 2012 Light often acts as a vital part of the architecture. It could even GROUP WORK present the nature of the building or illustrate a story in silence. In this project, the light becomes a dancer while the construction offers a elegant stage. We participated in the whole process including choosing appropriate material, testing material properties, conceiving the form of construction and making it in 1:1 scale. We used sawdust board because of its malleable as well as load-bearing capacity. After a series of test and transformation, the component was built as the basic starlike element. The final form of the project grew from the basic element.

The site locates in a district next to residential area and a junior high school. The project concerns about creating a multi-functional building to not only organize multiple functions in a rational way but also create different space experience. We analysised the site as a big arch and implied vertical and horizontal architectural elements. In horizontal dimension, different size of the arches divide the whole space into rooms with different functions. In vertical dimension, the arches turn into varies interesting spaces and form several height levels. The outer contour line of the building create a new skyline in this place. Then we integrated the horizontal and vertical dimensions to generate the final form of the building.

The building aims at creating a place that engages nature. To achieve this goal, the building was designed addressing two aspects. The first one focuses on the integration of the building’s morphology and the topography of the site. The building expresses itself as part of the nature, with the curved roof flowing from the mountain to the open place. The curved surfaces also form the the demising lines between programmatic masses. From a distance, the aggregate massing generates its own organic pattern on the landscape. The other aspect concerns the circulation that creates the interface between program and the natural context. Students can get access to the outdoor deck from each of the labs, the decks create an external program area that engaes the best views. The interpretive center acts as the center of the building and encourage communications between two floors.

L.A. NEW GALLERY This gallery sits on one of the busy streets in downtown L.A. The main idea is about utilizing cracking method in different layers to create surface and volume. The geometry and screening system, which are integrated together, create variation of space including interior and semi-open space. The screen also provides shelter for protecting art work. People can walk out the gallery and enjoy the city view without being exposed to extreme sunlight. In the meanwhile, the volume and screen work together to adjust interior environment such as sunlight, ventilation, view, etc. The building intends to reflect the cracking world that the world space has been gradually divided into small pieces. By using the cracking logic to create two opposite system of solid volume and screen with openings, the gallery itself becomes a piece of fragment. It tries to show an attitude on surviving in a cracking world. 37

ct concerns about creating a better residential block based on the existing context. Comparing to the origninal site plan, rrangement of the buildings offers open spaces with different hierarchy, from open space to private space. By extracting c elements from the traditional housing types, transforming them, and applying them into new buildings, the identity and are blurred. The traditional elements adapts the new buildings and vice versa. The builidngs are similar in some way and fferent in some other ways. It can be seen as a radical evolution of conventional buildings. 47

The development of architecture can be seen as process of unfamiliarize “conventional” architecture components. The new developed architecture will later be challenged by next evolution. There is no clear boundary on what is old or new. The existing signatures on modern architecture may be regard as new elements when we transform them a little bit. All the transformations are to adapt to people’s requirements on life and generation on spatial experience.

GREEN CITY MAZE TIME: 2013 GROUP WORK

This project aims to re-organized the blocks locating in Yangsigang, Wuhan province, China. The site used to be a industrial wharf. The factories were abondaned after decades of years. The students are required to propose concepts to activate this area and figure out solutions for existing problems, such as function organization, creating accessible public space, street and traffic organization, adequate greening area, etc. A good city should concerns about the most fragile group of people, including children, elders, women, lower class people and handicapped people. Ensuring these people could get access to public facilities as well as greening space is one of the most important thing. City development is about not only planning but also better living quality. This project mainly concerns three aspects including function re-organization, traffic efficiency and integration with nature. With multi-layers of traffic, fast speed traffic and low speed traffic are seperated to reduce the disturbance between each other. The vertical gardens allows people enjoying nature conveniently. The waterfront zone was designed to be leisure and sports plaza. People can get access to gardens or greenings easily and enjoy public facilities.

SITE ANALYSIS
The streets are blocked by this area
The building density is irrational
The site has good river view but there were few people enjoying it.
Low-rise Building
Mid-rise Building
The greening area is limited in the central of the site. It’s inconvenient to get access to this place
High-rise Building
Residential
Commercial
Abandoned Factory
OBJECTIVE Greening Space 1. Re-organized the traffic in the site in a rational way. Satisfy the efficient and convenient traffic requirements. Before
2. Replanning the function partrition. Greening Space
After
3. Take advantage of existing rescources, such as beautiful river view, abandoned factories. 4. Ensure enough outdoor greening area integrated with the buildings so that people can enjoy the nature. 5. Concerns about appropriate scale as well as space between buildings.

RECREATIONAL AREA
The recreation greening zone connects residential area and factory area. It attracts people walking through the district towarding the river. There are no high-rise building in this area so that the beautiful view won’t be blocked by buildings.

FACTORY RECONSTRUCTION

The factories are reconstructed into art galleries, museums and artists’ studios. With transparent glass panels on the roof, the sun light goes inside the room to provide adequate daylight. Solar panels are added on the roof for generating energy.

AREA PLANNING GROUP WORK 2013
The project focused on the area around the National Stadium and National Swimming Center in Beijing. These two buildings were built for the Olympic Games in 2008. The huge plaza surrounding them was kept empty for evacuation. While after the Olympic Games, the empty plaza without comfortable scale, greenings, facilities or other functions, starts losing its charm. We proposed the concept on having two layers for the plaza. The top layer is a transparent layer with a material that could become transparent or opaque according to people’s requirements. The bottom layer intends to bring the harmonious scale back to the site with small retails, artist’s studio, exhibition room or galleries. The distribution and height of these buildings depend on the distance with the National Stadium and National Swimming Center. The density and height get higher when the distance becomes longer. When big events occur, people will be walking on the top layer and get access to the stadiums conveniently.
