Architects, Beijing, China
Surrounded by existing forest, the project tried to make an image of arcadia. The created ups and downs on land offer an entry from underground to an open space in the middle. The sharp and high roof acts as a landmark thing facing the city.
The hotel is proposed in suburb area of Nanjing, aiming to create a multi-functional place for mainly old and middle-aged people. The functions include bedroom, swimming pool, SPA, dining room, media room and gym.

02 A Future Store Made by Coffee Capsules
Architectural Practice in SODA Architects, Beijing, China
The project is Nescafe Dolce Gusto‘s first concept store in the world in Shanghai, which is an avant-garde practice. Facing Huaihai Road, it is composed by 3000 capsules, which changes with time and theme. We placed a programmable LED light in about 1000 white capsules to make each of them like a single pixel. Every 15 capsules are packed in a transparent box. All the boxes together create a 3 meter by a 3-meter multimedia screen, presenting a low-resolution but dynamic image.

03 Culinary Space as a Transition
Every years, tens of thousands of foreign nationals arrive in UK. For asylum seeking, for protection, for food and for living. By comparing the pros and cons of the official and unofficial systems, a hybrid version of immigration centre is proposed in the project. Is there any chance to propose a new type of immigration centre by bringing in culinary space as a method of transition and integration?
Year 5 project at AA
The project speculates an alternative of processing immigrants by using culinary as a spacial way to rebuild the connections between groups, and helps integrate. The projects works as an economic mechanism as well as a space that provides basic needs of living and at the same time the connections and communication. It makes a passive process into a spontaneous and optimistic temporary community, and as well a response to the current hostile environment.
The project proposes a new type of resettlement space for immigrants by looking at Chinese restaurant as a mechanism of processing immigrants. Three types of spaces are picked to understand the roles and functions of the restaurant system. As an unofficial system, ownership of spaces, autonomy, connection to the society, independence and equality between groups can be seen in this unofficial system.
The project is sited in an old warehouse, close to Lon don city airport and River Thames for receiving newly arrived immigrants.
Case
Chinesestudy:restaurant as a mechanism
As an important inhabitation and mechanism behind, What role does restaurant system play in the longterm integration of these immigrants?
Is it possible to bring the fish things back to town in contemporary context?
The project is inspired by case studies on two markets, Taki-Sarrafon in Bukhara and Billingsgate fish market in London. By looking at the formation and elements of two types, the project understands market as an ever-changing performance and daily ritual woven in city life. By comparing the history of old billigsgate fish market and the new billingsgate, the project proposes a new version of fish market as a new use of old billingsgate as well as a response to the historical buildings regeneration. By taking white foam box as a key element and reusable object, the project is questioning:
Can new ways of transportation reshape the old billingsgate?
White foam as a defining experiential qualities of the market, facilitates the market in many aspects.
Can we make it a ritualised fish community?
Daily ritual in city
The drawing shows the life of a white foam box, from4 am to 8:30, as a container, as a exhibit ing place, as a price tag, as a balance box, as a coffee table, as a working desk, gone trash.
Can we integrate living within foams and fish?
04 Market as a ever-changing performance?
Old use of spaces--by section
Can foam box become a new brick of 21st century?
Early formation on bankside
Given an industrial twist by architect Lord Richard Rogers, the building has undergone an amazing transformation, from the 19th century’s largest fish market to London’s premier event space. Transportations and activities in old times.

Can we make a market not just about commercial activities?
If we look into the history of old billingsgate, we see that the performance of it was large ly shaped by the way of fish transport. Thames in 18th century
Market can be more than a market, not purely for commercial use. it can also be a public corridor, a city infrastructure, a plaza. An ever-changing show stage. A place to visit as well as shopping.
building reused in layers recycled in steps
project film Second Use of Old billingsgate fish market At first foam boxes will be stacked as a warehouse Then some cooking and serving emerge and more spaces are created. People start to stay longer on the site and more uses are developed. Some more private spaces will come up. More activities begin to appear, and more interactions with fish show up. The traders will be moving their life to the foams. With time, more traders join along with families The kitchen expands and become restaurant to serve more need. More upstair spaces are also put in use. People start to create their own space by breaking the constraints of the original structure.

Although people are close to animals, the connection between them are mainly visual connection, the animal playground center space makes it more like a zoo. The function and spac es for human and animals are very divided.
Research and observation started from surrey docks farm, which is a city farm in Canada water.
On the site of the surrey docks farm it’s mainly for school or family trip or commercial use.
Year 3 project at AA
For film For full presentation
Even outside the farm, the image of surrey docks farm is also place for short visit and taking beautiful photos, which makes it, in a way, an Instagram photo factory.

From cow’s perpective From& human’s perspective
In the exhibition area of cow archive, people see cows skeleton and photos highlighting the moments of human and cows.
In the restaurant, people can see the slaughter house, up there is a calf space. People can see these baby cows before they’re killed and they can visit those or select which they want to have for meal. The holes let lights come in and there can be some visual connection between up and down.
The section shows the journey from left to right along the corridor, people will experience cheese making workshop to see production related to diary cows, exhibition area of cows archives calf pen, restaurants and cow body burning area, which is the end of both the journey and cows life. Up there are rooms for people to live with cows.
Year 2 project at CSM

The project imagines a new type of prosti tution to unstigmatise sex-workers and also challenges social norms. Sex trade is treated as a ‘special business’. Compared to food, clothes, housing, sex-releated things are still seen as a different commodity though it’s basic human needs as well.
People gathered around for the celebration of sex. Under the sacred light in the middle, they stood, meditate and smile, to feel everything inside and around their bodies. Join us!’ Eva looked back and waved at Adam.

Adam was browsing around on the road, suddenly he saw a big concrete box with a small door. What’s that?
‘Come!
Adam went into the film site, where people here shoot film. Adam can still see the bra and underwears...and condom left on the messy bed....‘Everything is just so...real.’ Adam was totally immersed in the pinky atmosphere.
He entered and felt light in the middle, he instinctly head up to feel closer to the light....‘gush...what’s there on the ceiling? dick.. lips and..boobs’...He said surprisingly and made his body into a worshiping gesture
Adam stepped up along the light...‘What’s the sound? Anyone’s having sex?’ Then he entered the porn watching zone. He raised his head to fighure out what’s in the light... beautiful boobs and legs.. sometimes there and some times disappear......‘body in books, body in films and body in reality’ he smiled, ‘Such a dream’like moment’.
Adam took-off all his clothes while gazing at the girl, who was bathing, through the curtain. I might have seen her boobs just now down stairs....she has so beautiful body.’ Adam felt hard to hold himslf.
Adam washed himslf carefully and enjoyfully to feel his body and enjoy others’ body peacefully and equally under the light in the middle.

In traditional prostitutions, the whole thing is domi nated by clients and pimps, who are usually males. The images below are trying to show a new relatio ship between different genders. With the promotion of their social status, females are breaking the old rules and creating a new thing. Penis and virgina here are symbols of two genders.
