REDEFINITION Primary School Design in Iraq In this project, we aim to design a primary school on the marshland in Iraq. Considering the cultural background of Iraq, we hope to make this project special for the children in this country, who have suffered from wars for many years. Therefore, we try to redefine the functional organization and children's space to create a happy environment for the children.

History of Site Village

Since Gulf War began from 1980, Iraq turned into a war-torn country. People lost their homes and even had to leave their country to escape the sufferings of wars. Unfortunately, children in Iraq were the victims of wars and lived with worry of being killed in the war, lacking opportunities to recevie education.

Market

Now When the war was over, the destiny of Irap turned to a new page. People rebuilt their homes in groups actively. That is the background of this project. What can a primary school bring to children even to a country? The answers may be a happy childhood, hope and so on. Of course,that is the future of this country.

Keyword:Renascence Hope Future

In 1980s, Iraq was a very peaceful and rich country. Due to its abundant resources of oil, people in Iraq lived a happy and admirable life. Therefore, their children had a wonderful childhood. They received high-quality education and had no worry about diseases and starvation.

Keyword:Peace Joy Richness

Site Information and Strategy Climate

The climate here is tropical desert climte, so we use a wooden cover to prevent the intense sunshine.

Terrain

Since the terrain is marshland and not flat, we decide to bulid on stilts.

Ecological Diversity

Marshland

To protect the ecological diversity there, we create some gardens to strengthen people's awareness.

REORGANIZATION Bajiaojing Market Design In this project, we try to analyse the deficience of traditional chinese market like the mixed smell. Then we refine three critical elements--smell, selling environment and selling time to recreate a new market. Besides, we choose a new carrier --15m*8m*3.6m light box for different kinds of products. At last, we try to interlace each monomer to format my design.

Site Analysis and Strategy Strategy Ⅰ

As we can see from the picture above, the southeastern part has the highest degree of activity, which means it's most crowded.

REPRESENTATION Urban Design in Daguan Park With the development of social economy, more and more people have a better life quality. To meet the soaring need of people, we choose one part of Daguan Park and transform it into a business area. In this project, we are going to think about how to match modern commerce with traditional cultural background. In addition, we try to use some theories to consider what kind of space is suitable for the traditional background and what scale of space can provide people with better using experience.

In China, the only word to describe the image of Wu culture is "Shuixiang", which means the town surrounded by river. Therefore, the elements of Wu culture is all associated with water. For example, we can see a spot called "Butou". It is a terrace with some steps leading to river. People in Wu culture area can use Butou to wash clothes, wash vegetables and so on. In a word, everything in Wu culture is about water.

Each district has its own theme. Although they are independent to some extent, there can be some inner relationship.

"To understand this, we must consider not just the city as a thing in itself, but the city being perceived by its inhabitants."

"An environmental image may be analysed into three components: identity, structure and meaning. It is useful to abstract these for analysis."

"There is a series of public images, each held by some significant number of citizens. Such group images are necessary if an individual is to operate successfully within his environment and to cooperate with his fellows."

"The contents of the city images so far studied, which are referable to physical forms, can conveniently be classified into five types of elements: paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks.

RECONSTRUCTION Canal 5 Factory Transformation Canal 5 factory was used to produce some fiber products with textile technology several years ago.

However, it had been abandoned for a long time. The keypoint of this project is to make transformation on the function of the factory, from an industry place to a culture centre for people living around. By investigation, we find that people there don't have enough public space to do some activities and relax. That is the initial part where we start our design.

Transformation

In 1933, the factory was established by three businessmen in centre of Changzhou. It was mainly used to produce fabrics and created many employment opportunities for peole living nearby.

During World War Ⅱ , the soaring need of fabrics which were used to rescue the injured soldiers from battlefield caused the factory to develop rapidly in short time.

In 1990s, with the birth of some new technology, such as computer science, traditional manufacturing industry inevitably went downhill. Therefore, the factory declined gradually and in 1993, it had to be closed.

Site Information

In 2008, due to the policy of Changzhou government, the factory was reborn as an industrial park. The main function of this area was to hold some activities about art. Besides, it provided space for some small companies.

Usable Space Now As we decide to transform the factory into a community centre, we need more inner space to create enough space fo users to use. Here, we add roof truss to the factory and change the former posts into normal posts.

From the texture analysis above, we find that in the north-eastern part of the site, there is large space for people to gather.

We add a box as the entrance of this culture centre to the former factory. It can give people a hint that you can enter this centre here.

Then we choose to put some windows to the elevation of factory.

It can not only provide some sight interaction between people outside and space inside but also make inner space bright.
