Graduation Project

Space of Collection Museum | Delft, NL

Interiors, Buildings, Cities Studio Sep.2016-Jun.2017 Tutors: Mark Pimlott and Susanne Pietsch

The project seeks to explore the relationship an urban institution has with the city that accommodates it; how it both addresses and makes the city; how this relationship goes some way in defining the institution itself and finally, how this should be represented through architecture.

This project is an opportunity to introduce the collection of TU Delft to the historic city centre and create potential meetings and interactions between students, tourists and inhabitants, as well as being a reection on the role and identity of the urban institution.

I believe that the building is more than any physical appearance we can touch. As an urban institution, it needs to resonate with the Spirit of the city if the echo will be heard by the visitor. Two existing former military buildings in Delft provide a reference for the project. On the one hand, they are objectified as identifiable landmarks in the city with their simple yet powerful appearances; on the other hand, their occupation of the whole block merges them into the urban fabric.

Giorgio Morandi, Natura Morte, 1955 ‘Matter exists, of course, but has no intrinsic meaning of its own, such as the meanings that we attach to it. Only we can know that a cup is a cup, that a tree is a tree.’

5

The Urban Institutions of Delft The simple constellation of four halls, or barn-shaped sheds, results in a formal logic that lends the building a raw and clear, simple and rigorous appearance of storage, as a peer of the two military buildings in the city.

Another storehouse The project tries to build an analogue dialogue with the existing structures of the city, where TU Delft’s collection will be housed for tourists, inhabitants and students. As with the reference, the building is carefully arranged over nearly the entire block. It represents a raw yet powerful image of a secure storehouse.

Different interiors with skylight The four sheds are filled with ‘emptiness’ of similar but different scales, openings and skylights. The rustic interiors underscore the underlying connection among each other and between the urban institutions of Delft.

The transition between different interiors The in-between space is wrapped by long and thin bricks used also in the exterior and accentuated by the skylight of a different system. The comparison between the surface, the wall and the oor, contributes to making the transition between different storages noticeable.

14

The monolithic architecture The purity and simplicity of the external form of the architecture, a carefully textured skin of handmade Kolumba bricks that are elongated and atter than the standard Dutch bricks, sets up an interesting dialogue with the surrounding brick-built buildings. The brickwork gives a textured appearance to the facade, where a composition of oversized windows and doors alludes to the significant storehouses of Delft. The frames of the opening are carefully hidden so as to highlight its monolithic appearance.

‘An oyster with a pearl inside.’ The quote is from the architect of De Hallen, Amsterdam, a reference for the project.

The external envelope of the building keeps its brick-built rusticity and internally the detailing reduces to a very rare pure environment of bare concrete walls. The various activities inside are enlivened by the only detail, a very clever and complex window system, through which different spaces are connected from room to room.

Pop-up Monument Installation | Rome, IT

Public Building Studio Oct.2015 Tutors: Sien van Dam | Niklaas Deboutte Susanne Komossa | Nicola Marzot Collaborators: Jacqueline van der Aart | Ramon Cordova Gonzalez

This temporary installation, made of mirrors, standing in the Tiber and circling the Ponte Sant’Angelo in Rome, is a device for visualising the Spirit and memory of a place.

A Pop-up monument in Rome should be an instrument that through movement stimulates the perception of a fragment of the city in a certain way that enables creation of a memory in the people.

The Ponte Sant’Angelo is the perfect setting for a Pop-up Monument, because it combines two aspects: imagination and reality, and allows people to move from one to another just as Dante did.

In Dante’s world, the notion of the appearance and disappearance is not about a physical appearance or disappearance, It’s about the mental appearance of an image... a memory. In the eighth circle of Hell, a fragment of Rome appears in Dante’s mind.

Dante, Inferno Penguin Classics

23

The Inferno The bridge was described by Dante in his Inferno and reminded him of the eighth circle of hell, where the fraudulent are condemned to ten concentric moats. It is crossed by a bridge of rocks and in the centre there is a wide and deep moat; the centre of the universe and the farthest point from God.

The fragments The space should be an instrument that through movement stimulates the perception of a fragment of the city, in a way that enables the creation of a memory about oneself or the Inferno.

24

25

Imagination and reality The proposal is for a group of mirror elements standing in the water circling the bridge, with a path hidden in between going around to the bottom of the bridge.

The space changes as the user walks through it, turning into an abstract place in the center of the bridge. This allows the user to perceive fragments of Rome and at the same time, the abstraction can be a heuristic metaphor of Dante’s vision of Hell.

Zara City

Mixed | Tainan Shanghai Jiao Tong University Fall 2014 Tutors: Dongmei Zhao

The project is a process of contemporary fast fashion industry: from design to produce, from manufacture to consumption. While speed is the focus of the design, the project encourages customers to participate in the production process.

The programme played an important part in the design.

Different functions of the fashion industry have been reorganised with the aim of encouraging customers to interact with the process. The process is functionally divided across multiple levels, which are connected by several stairs of different scales allow for communication between the different functions of each floor. For instance, the initial garment designs will be presented to the consumer in the gallery before manufacture for their advices.

The project tries to create an industrial interior with a hint of culture, as a response to the brand itself as well as the context: an immemorial area that has been turned into ruins after an unrealistic urban planning. In fact, the project seeks an opportunity to cooperate with the existing urban situation and serve as a catalyst for the area.

2014

A building is a city Numerous buildings that honestly record the rise of Tainan City are scattered in the neighbourhood as the area used to be irrigated by the oldest canals of the city. An ambitious urban renovation project with a limited budget was started and later suspended in the area, leaving the city nothing but a large number of abandoned houses, a disproportionately broad road and its underground tunnel. The project proposed a constellation of different rooms assembled vertically in light of the ruined environment so as to connect and vitalise the pre-existing urban infrastructure.

While on the left wing the production process is conducted from the top to the bottom, from design to production, the right wing welcomes customers with the latest fashion and encourages them to participate in the production process across different stairs.

Materialisation Internally the environment is surrounded by polished surfaces: perforated aluminium plate and marble finishing.

Along with the dark and textured concrete columns, the materialisation responds to a chic but ruinous, industrial but cultured interior.

Wood

Construction design | Rotterdam, NL Building Technology Studio Fall 2015

The project is an academic study on the possibities of wood as a construction material and an aesthetic element.

The focus is on engineered timber construction as well as timber facades and surface finishes. The physical properties of engineered timber allow for a more passive approach towards the building’s energy neutral climate concept. The structural design reflects on the maximum role of laminated timber in construction, especially with the technique of mortise.

With the structural design as a starting point, an energyefficient wooden skin is developed. The double-skin facade provides good interior climate through heat and vapour exchange, with the help of Breathing Windows. The movable blind contributes to a unique and environmentally benign appearance.

The Lantern

Mountain resort | Roccascalegna, IT Young Architect Competition July 2017 Collaborator: Yun Dai

The wooden observatory cabins hide themselves in the forest of Roccascalegna, Italy. The lighting is cautiously controlled and designed for a sublime view of stars, silences and landscape.

In this project, the highly sloped roof gives the cabin a large viewing angle for seeing the stars, the horizon and the landscape of Roccascalegna. A glass roof creates an interior that allows visitors to stargaze: they can look up while sitting on the ground floor or look out while lying in bed on the first floor. We also extend the celestial entertainment to the exterior roof deck on the second floor where visitors can breathe the scented air of the forest under a starry sky. The observatory house is constructed of wood and wrapped by densely packed slender wooden posts which give it a translucent appearance, as if like a lantern in the woods. As they weaken the artificial light emitting from interior, thus creating a dark environment in which to observe the stars, the wooden posts create an ambiguous dialogue with the trees on the hill. The house is lifted on a rock plinth, made from the same material as the path.

The project contributes to the existing path’s role as a spiritual route, allowing one to observe the sky alongside the existing fortress and church. The collective service buildings are at the mouth of the route and form a resort which is still connected to the village as its community centre. The pre-existing path leads the visitor to the church, and further on the fortress, the highlight of the tour where rooms are turned into celestial-related study space and the tower is equipped with telescopes. We hope that the fortress can be a special place from which to observe the stars while also offering a terrific and ancient view. The observatory houses will treat the route humbly by hiding themselves in the woods on the hill. Another path from the collective service buildings leads the customer to their accommodation in the stillness of nature.

The unit The geometry of the unit maximises celestial experience on different levels. The unit is a module for two persons’ accommodation, which can be duplicated and connected so as to house more.

Green Skyscraper

Mixed, highrise | Shanghai Shanghai Jiao Tong University Spring 2014 Tutors: Huang Xuan

The project is a reflection on the design of the green spaces and green technologies, in the context of a high-rise building in Shanghai.

The intensive city development in Shanghai introduces numerous constructions to the inhabitant which in some cases may intrude into the green spaces of the city. The project, as an administrative and educational high-rise building for a musical college, seeks a greener way to meet this challenge.

It brings in green spaces, not only literally accommodating greenery in the building, but also building a common urban landscape within the neighbourhood. It achieves this through the addition of a diagonal garden which welcomes visitors from the opposite park and a green terrace on the roof which offers a friendly dialogue with other high-rises nearby.

The principles and tools of environmental design were tested and explored by the means of computational analysis and innovative building component design.

45

Learning from the neighbours The project studies the surrounded buildings and learns different approaches to developing greenery from them.

The core idea of the green space is to be environmentally benign.

According to the psychrometric chart, thermal mass and natural ventilation would be two effective ways to enlarge the comfort zones for the user in this case.

The skyscraper faces the best orientation with the annual sun path taken into consideration. The subtraction forms a buffer zone, which is beneficial to solar and thermal protection.

There are two types of flues in the skyscraper. One faces the best orientation, serving as a solar chimney, while the other is in the centre, introducing new fresh air to related floors.

Professional Work

EXPO Green Valley Office | Shanghai

Schmidt Hammer Lassen Spring 2015

This project was the design of a headquarters for a bank next to the Chinese pavilion of Shanghai World EXPO. My work was mainly to study the facade scheme, to render and process images, to produce elevation drawing and to make big scale models. My tutor was Tasha Ye Feng and I worked on the model with Yuwei Zhang.

53

54

55

Facade study Due to the latest regulation, the glazing ratio of the building is required to reduced from 0,5 to 0,3. I studied the previous facade scheme and proposed several schemes with an adaptable module consisting of seven units. I visualised illustrations of the new facades and finished related development design drawings.
