TEXTILE FACTORY

Suining Jinhua 1958 Textile Factory is a renewal project situated in Suining, Sichuan. Suining Government has an emphasis on preserving historical elements on site as it is the most significant heritage architecture in town. This has led to a series of debates from the beginning at stage 2 regarding the proportion of demolition and preservations, especially when the site is not valuable enough to consider as national heritage.The entire site has gone through several design schemes.

At first, almost 60% of the buildings within the entire development was going to be preserved. However due to cost and time consideration as well as certain areas with structural instability, the stakeholders agreed to preserve only about 30% of the site, as rebuilding is less expensive and time consuming. These include most of the big factory and the small boiler house, and the rest are either being demolished or totally rebuilt.

Two programs on site that are worth sharing in particular may be the boiler houses and the sales gallery ( part of big factory). For the boiler houses, I have been fully responsible from stage 2 till stage 4, due to the ownership of the boiler houses that they belong to

Suining government as public buildings, they have taken more of a preservation approach.

Our design approach being preserving the existing fabric as much as possible, with insertion of big contemporary windows for display purposes, to connect audience both from the inside of the building as well as from the outside.

z We also proposed to keep existing metal elements of the buildings to be refurbished and include them into our design. During stage 2-3 design process, a series of iterations of the similar design were produced due to client’s uncertainty of the size of the contemporary windows. Yet, at a later stage under consultations with the LDI and facade consultants, some restrictions on windows opening has been defined, including restrictions of openings size, therefore putting an end to ongoing minor changes in design.

Northern entry of Big Factory, a canopy is designed to add some shade for pedestrian at the same time complying to building regulations to be permeable in order prevent crossing site boundary.

Suining Textile Factory

Anchor store in retail street which is desinged to have one in every 30-50m in the retail street.

This is designed by myself and it is situated in the middle of retail street.The idea is to have a double height anchor store that celebrates the traditional brick pattern that will allow light permeats through the facade and acts as an attractor point at the retail street.

The small factory is essentially a retail street where small stores and cafe are. One side of it is the small factory (left hand side of the picture) and the other side were entirely demolished to be rebuilt as Minguofeng architecture style. The original architecture were pitched roof brick house that were served as storage for the factory. They were deemed to have zero value by client and hence were entirely demolished.

Suining Government wish the hub to be as successful as Tanzishi in Chongqing hence create one side of the retail street as Minguofeng style.

SUINING JINHUA1958 BOILER HOUSE RENEWAL

The boiler house belongs to Suining Jinhua 1958 Textile Factory Cultural Hub, as one of the highlight in the hub it will be the musem in the park displaying historic memorial peice from the past of the factory and showcase the story of the place.

My role in this project is to deisgn the boiler house from concept till detail design stage, although it is a small building it requires me work closely with structural and facade consultant to make sure the design came to flourishion.

AlthoughinSuiningTextileFactory,mostbuildingfabric willbetotallyrebuilt,exceptthesmallboilerhousewhich would have its building fabric mostly preserved. It is a request from the Suining Government to preserve the original building fabric. It has an exposed brick facade that has a brick pattern similar to English cross bond. It has the stretchers centred on the joints between the stretchers below them which is half a brick, and as a result the alternating stretcher courses are aligned.

The brick walls are structural to the building and the design incorporate structural reinforcements behind the original brick wall, preserving most of the existing building fabric except some new openings that needs to be made for the design to work.

The design create huge openings that serve as both display window and a “visual connection“ from inside to outside, as both people from the park and from insdie of the building can look into the display objects from the inserted display window.

The Boiler house has three floors, with the top floor being a mezzanine. A new staircase and an internal elevator are added to the buiding to comply to building regulations.

Concept Zoning

Each zone of C Future Lab has an artist or consultant we worked with to enrich each art or technological experience,these including Nagami,Ross Lovegrove,Patrick Blanc,Teamlab and Motse.They designed the media art display throughout the exhibition as well as some important furniture such as the reception sculpture with 3D printing technology.

C Future Lab will be completed in the Summer of 2020 and will be a Lab for exploration that combines art, nature and technology in an attempt to nurture innovation and social interaction

Furniture in the rest of the Lab is trying to resonate with the organic overall design theme from the reception. Hence we designed our own water basin in organic shape. Echoed by the sleek design of the ceiling mounted aashbasin taps.

The basin is custome made by stacking several marble stone together to create a giant mass illusion.

Interior Project 01

This is a high end residential interior design for one of the longest client who is a great lover for tea and gatherings. He also adores incorporation of Chinese culture into his home.

Thedesignofthearchitectureisamoderninterpretation of Siheyuan which is embodies a green courtyard into the top floor where the exhibition and tea gathering space is. The programs are all surrounding the green courtyard which let light through with glass wall. All space from gathering space to exhibition space you can enjoy the scenery from the courtyard everywhere. In terms of materials we used layered materials to create Asian decorative wall with the modern touch of

materials that gives a shine on the surface.

On the top floor a plain white colour mood is selected to enhance the zen vibes and to create more contrast with the greeneries from the courtyard. It is made to be a quiet and peaceful space that is perfect for any tea ceremony with the complimentary experience of art display.

My involvement in this project include designing throughout concept stage in charging the exhibitional space and the living room area as well as its reception.

SHANGHAI 180M HENDERSON TOWER 07

This project is based in Shanghai requires us to design a almost 300m tower. My participation in this project include championing design and presentation submission together with an architect and an architectural assistant when I was a year-out at Aedas.

Shanghai, as the country’s major economic center and the largest port in the world, leads the development of all the Districts in Yangtze River Delta which is located in the intersection of the gloden coast and the golden

river, and is China’s gateway for financial and business development attracting major foreign investments, logistics and international tradings.

Underthechallengeofthecontextwithmanycompetitive design around Shanghai, we opt for a simplistic form that will make a statement over the river. By keeping its vertical form with strong lighting emit in the middle, and a park podium underneath the tower to create a huge public space that invites pedestrian’s flow.

A diagram comparing all the iconic high rise towers in Shanghai, there are not many towers that are higher than 200m.

The L2 floor plan is divided vertical connections them makes a ring

There are F&B on interior can walk completes the verticle

A light strip cuts throught both the retail podium and office tower, illuminating a vibrant energy to the site.

Different from traditional retail podium strategy, this design creates a continuous landscape by pushing down a side of retail

This gesture creates a focus on the pure tower form and a simple ribbon of light flows from the top of the tower to the podium that we call “the valley of light”.

With the site surroundings of many iconic architecture element, our approach is not to attempt to compete but to stay simple.We seek to create a trophy development pure in form and as Iconic as it can be with a civic notion.

ZHUHAI GALLERY INTERNATIONALEXHIBITION

An International Concept Design Competition by QUAD studio in 2018 organized by undisclosed developer in Zhuhai to design an Exhibition Pavilion for their development on their New Future Metropolis.

The Setting - Located Zhuhai, China and one of the core cities in the Pearl River Delta.The Zhuhai Gallery pavilion is design to showcase the future developments of their Few Future Metropolis.

A report released by the Chinese Academy of Social Science in 2014, the city of Zhuhai is the most liveable city in China.Surrounded by landscape,Zhuhai has a reputation of being a garden city and having a quality of life.

Design Concept -The design evolved from a key primary objective,to bring the vision of this New Metropolis to the people and to let everyone experience a taste of what the future brings to the district as well as the city of Zhuhai. During the design process, many Cultural Icons were explored.With this option,we were inspired by the idea of creating a ‘garden city’.

Opportunity to create a Pavilion that truly showcase Zhuhai as a garden city - When it come the design of the Zhuhai Gallery Pavilion, it is only appropriate to showcase

the “Garden City” within this new modern metropolis by creating an iconic public garden in the heart of the New Future Metropolis.

The Folium - By creating an iconic vision of a ‘Garden City’, we develop a simple leaf like structure that we call ‘The Folium’ that represents a quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in a single architectural vision.

The pavilion structure resembles that of two simple leaves with laminar structure and pinnate venation. Using ETFE, the translucent roof membrane shows off the workings of the pavilion.

One can enter the pavilion from the northern from the park and southern entrances from the main road and pier.The entrances brings the visitor into the heart of the pavilion where they can have time to choose what they want to experience.The functions of the pavilion are logistically separated with active zones a ground level, semi active zones on level
