SHANGRILA REJUVENATION RECONSTRUCTION OF SHANGRILA POST-FIRE AREA HKU Master Thesis Advisor: Eric H. Schuldenfrei MArch II, Sem 2, Spring 2015 Selected for HKU Thesis Public Review 2014-2015

After the Shangrila conflagration, two-third of the 1300-year-old ancient town has been burned into ashes. Both sides of tourism and culture have been damaged. My thesis is trying to utilize architectural methodology as a tool to challenge recovering the place and provide a solution to deal with the relationship between new constructions and existing ruins. The main tactic is to keep the ruins as landscapes for attracting visitors, and build a resort complex upon the ruins serving the whole Grand Shangrila Area. In this way, the thesis become a synthesis of two sides responding to the conflicts between culture represented by ruins and tourism represented by new constructions. The design methodology is three parallel process among urban planning strategy, building & yard design, and detail & installment design. Different levels of design are merged together during the process. Under the commander of one strong tactic, we can see the mergence of architecture, landscape and urbanism in a more integrated manner. Left: 1:500 Site Model

Lost Horizon First Published Version, 1933 LOST SHANGRI-LA Lost Horizon is a 1933 novel by English writer James Hilton. The book was turned into a movie, also called Lost Horizon, in 1937 by director Frank Capra. It is best remembered as the origin of Shangri-La, a fictional utopian lamasery high in the mountains of Tibet. In 2001, people eventually found Shangri-la in Yunnan Province, P.R.C.

Ravage in Fire In the midnight of Jan. 11th 2014, most of this 1300-year-old Tibetan town popular with tourists was destroyed by a fire. 3

CONCRETE + STORY FROM TEST OF CONCRETE TO NARRATIVE PROJECT HKU Studio Work Instructor: Yung Ho Chang MArch II, Sem1, Fall 2014

Concrete + Story is an individual work of mine instructed by Yung Ho Chang. The semester is divided into 3 exercises. The first two exercises are focus on concrete aiming at studying technic and making formwork, by using them as a tool, the exercise 3 is relatively a more open project tells a story in a movie with the site located on Third Street. The content with briefly instruction is listed below: Exercise 1: Trace of Time Being unsatisfied with the condition of exposed concrete on Third St., I use photoluminescence concrete to repair these more than 40-year-old constructions. Exercise 2: Rigid Fabric One of the nature of concrete is that it gives architects freedom to design complex forms with curve surfaces. The aim of my test is using fabric as formwork to shape complex surfaces. Exercise 3: Movie Narrator Utilizing concrete as material, a 4-storey coffee + living building is designed. And it is trying to be a narrator telling a movie in the spaces. Left: 1:25 Section Model of Movie Narrator

Rigid Fabric One of the nature of concrete is that it gives architects freedom to design complex forms with curve surfaces. However, being limited by formwork materials, rarely we can see the application of this nature on constructed architectures. The aim of my test is using fabric as formwork to shape complex surfaces in both relatively urder control and out of control ways. 24

志明與春嬌 LOVE IN A PUFF Movie Introduction Love in a Puff is a 2010 Hong Kong romantic comedy directed by Pang Ho-cheung and starring Shawn Yue and Miriam Yeung. The plot revolves around the love story of Cherie and Jimmy, two smokers who met at an outdoor smoking area subsequent to the ban of all indoor smoking areas in Hong Kong.

Movie Structure Analysis The long drawing illustrates the whole process from movie structure to architecture organization. In the black background part, we can see the basic structure of the movie. Then in the white background part, I tried to translate the 7 days of the movie into 7 different scenes. Next, combining the 7 scene models into one building. And then we can re-find and experience the 7 scenes in the building according to the unfolding plan. Finally, we can say, the whole design is a translation process from the moive "Love in a Puff", to the architecture spaces, utilizing the media of scenes. 27

MUTUALISM CITY A COASTAL AREA DESIGN FOR CITIZENS HKU Studio Work Instructor: Dietmar Eberle & Jia Beisi MArch I, Sem1, Fall 2013 Honorable Mention of UIA-HYP Cup 2014 International Student Competition

Mutualism City is an an individual work of mine which mainly focus on the balance/comflict between density and public space in Hong Kong. The site is located in North Point of Hong Kong along the coast of Victoria Harbour surrounded by extremely high-density buildings with different programs. The design mainly focus on 2 key issues: keeping the high density and diverse program for the city while creating more interesting public spaces and dramatic experiences for citizens. Streets are extremely narraw in Hong Kong, so people usually cannot see what the towers like above them, instead, only can see the podiums. On one hand, people mainly pay attention to the first 2 or 3 floors above the ground, so I split the podium into several smaller massings to fulfill citizens' experience. On the other hand, the dimensions between towers are much farther than that between podiums (streets or lanes), so I slim the lower part and enlarge the higher part of the towers to give back the public spaces to the citizens. In this way, the towers in the air and podiums on the ground become mutual as an entire. Left: Coastal Perspective of Mutualism City

Concept Streets are extremely narraw in Hong Kong, so people usually cannot see what the towers like above them, but only can see the podiums instead. On one hand, people can only pay attention to the first 2 or 3 floors above the ground. So the way we deal with podiums and towers are different. On the other hand, the dimensions between towers are much farther than that between podiums (streets or lanes).

Survey 2: City Texture Putting different city textures into our site in the same scale to make a comparison. And based on these cities, I found out 3 characters of urban textures as below: 1, curve or non-straight streets; 2, different dimensions of streets; 3, different scales of piazas. And I put them into my design. 40

Description This is a theatre design project located in the centre of Beijing Jiaotong University surrounded by chaos campus environment. Before design, I conducted some surveys related to timetable about activities, existing problem, and needs, so as to decide the proportion of area and function. Hence, the building is more than a theatre but a small complex gives the campus more stimulus in the concept of paper folding. And the hill could also be a landscape and viewing platform for people in campus. Top: 1:200 Model Photo 68

Description This is a multi-family housing design project located in certain area of Beijing with no fixed site. We are required to arrange plans in a 40m×20m square. In the context of rapid process of urbanization and huge gap between the rich and the poor in China, everyone’s dream having their own ideal housing is difficult to achieve. Providing layouts with different area, categories, and types, the multifamily housing can lay a solid foundation for everyone to realize their dreams. Before design, I conducted a survey about Le Corbusier’s Marseilles Unite Habitation. By making manual model, I studied carefully about room scale and module. After that, formed is the method which can create varies choices of types so as to satisfy the diverse needs of different group. Background: Concept Perspective and Map

SLOPING MONSTER HIGH-RISE BUILDING DESIGN Studio Work Instructor: GAO Wei BArch, Year 4, Sem 2, Spring 2012

This is a high-rise building design project located in Beijing on the side of west 2nd ring road. With chaotic condition around the site, it is important to create a container which can accommodate the original functions and citizens’ activities together. BUEDRI is an architecture design & research group. As the headquarters of BUEDRI, the building’s functions are centrally located neglecting the division made by floors. Seeing corridors and stairwells as the same thing, I believe the efficiency of enterprise operation will be improved in this way. Continuous facade wrapped around and reshaped the building three times, making it looks like a sloping monster. Right: 1:200 Model Photo

Description This is a station design and station area planning project located between the old city and new city of Xinxiang, Henan province. The surrounding areas and the new city are in planning stage. Before design, we conducted an urban survey and proposed a concept based on the result. As the most important hub in the new city, the station should assume the task to connect new city and old city which are separated by the railway tracks in order to achieve resource sharing and function driving. We suspended the construction above the railway tracks for the sake of evacuating the crowd logically and efficiently. Being inspired by the form of the railway, we decided the building prototype.
