Architecture has a life of its own. As an essential part of the whole society, it is capable of interacting with its occupants, life, landscape, environment and climate. In this way, architecture can correspondences to ecological, social and economic needs thus helping to address these challenges of 21st century and future.

Plan As the northernmost point of United States, Barrow exhibits an extreme geology-meteorology condition. At high latitudes, low average radiation in limited light time throughout the year, as well as continuous permafrost layer, contribute to the specific cold moist climate regime across the area. Low biodiversity makes the ecosystem even more fragile. Based on the homogeneous topography, human construction makes it possible for the environmental conditions to change without obvious natural ground relief. Intentionally or not, road grid and building structure deeply reshaped the radiation distribution and air flow pattern within the settlement. However, mutual beneficial relationship hasn’t been observed from the lifted building structure subsided in the 05
melted active layer. Interim space between building and ground becomes the most problematic area across the city, which could also be viewed as the breakthrough point to redefine the relationship between environment, human and species. With carefully designed form, function and transparency of building-ground interface, microclimate mode, as well as spatial configuration could be re-programmed according to specific site features. Varied typologies created from a spectrum of demand and limitation may weave a new socio-environmental matrix, within which human and other species could make a step forward toward a symbiosis relationship.

This project focuses on addressing / eliminating the substantial barriers that split the site of Broadway Junction. In our site analysis, we identified three barriers that range from roads, train lines and elevated highways. The most restricting barrier we identified was the elevated highway at Atlantic Avenue which also has the LIR line below. Since these barriers block access, the adjacent properties are vacant, underutilized and the commercial corridors are disconnected. This condition produces an undesired situation that discourages people to come or inhabit the site.

Our goal is to rejuvenate Broadway Junction and adjacent area. To achieve this goal we are positioning a new commercial, community and HRA program on the top of the most limiting barrier at Broadway Junction. This new connection hub works as “go across� the barrier with massing that offers porosity and connectivity. This hub acts as a connection device that establishes links to the currently disconnected commercial corridors and encourage people to go across barrier both under and over the barriers with using commercial and community programs.

The connection hub is designed as the existing barrier and avenue are included in a whole mass. This strategy is making integration and establishing the new hub as a way to reframe the transportation barrier. Programs and public space are arranged around the Atlantic Avenue barrier creating a multilevel accessible street. The Hub programs are arranged by a level of publicity, comercial malls are arranged on lower level which can provide opportunities for public to communicate, community centers are on middle level, and HRA programs are located on top level which can be the most private space, also these programs are merged with existing street programs.

With continuous development of urbanization, the integration and contradiction of rural and urban became more and more obvious. Village in the city is a specific example of this phenomenon, it refers to the rural villages evolved into residential areas during the urbanization process because all or most of the arable land was expropriated and farmers were still living in the original village. Today, the village in the city became unorganized and unplanned with poor living environment and mixed personnel. Residents living inside are mostly migrant workers or farmers in the city who have been burdened by loneliness, confusion, constraints and pressure. Therefore, it is essential to reconstruction the villages in the city, providing home that truly belongs to these people.
An ideal village in the city should have both country’s spirits and city’s modernization, my dream village in the city has following characteristics: 1. Economic: reduce residents economic burden and thus propose vertical idea. 2. Spirits: maintain country’s self-operating system and let every resident participate into daily operation and construction. Meet requirements from different residents as much as possible and meanwhile increase their sense belongs. 3. Integration: propose integrating active elements of country and city, and let the residents either back to previous nor completely abandon tradition. 20

Background City cleaners, as less privileged group in society, dissociate at margins of the city. Due to lack of voice, their living conditions are often ignored and their individual rights are not guaranteed. However, the development of a harmonious society can not be separated from the care and respect of each individual, Therefore, we focus on the city cleaners and decide to design a rest place for them to satify their needs in their daily life.
As a group that needs to work outside almost a whole day, they need a place to solve their daily needs. Also considering China is a vast country that different areas exist big difference in climate. Therefore we selected five different bases at five climate zones in China, in order to explore adaptability of a same series of buildings in different climatic environment and made relevant ecological design strategies as well as five corresponding rest places schemes.

Concept
URBAN SEEDS will distribute and grow in different cities, and adapt to different climates. Thus, the building is separated into structure and detachable units. Mass—adapt circle for reducing shape coefficient and heat loss, and also distridute strong wind.

In the future, URBAN SEEDS may not only be the rest places for cleaners, but also become more universal and adaptable with more social functions. So it can spread like a seed into every corner of the city to provide people more services. Thus we provide many ideas regarding future changes, such as book store, coffee shop and convenience store which can be achieved by retaining support and variant parts and making small modifications based on the original. So that it will become a sustainable green building. 28

Han River
Hitching Post Stone is a unique folk stone carving in the north of China, which was a useful carving boulder strip used to tie mules in many wealthy families. Both have the decorative function and flaunting their wealth, also given significance of avoiding evils and protect house. The decorative hitching post sketches set up in the site echoing with the Tangluo old road, but also decorated the square and enriched pedestrians’ feels.
Han River is the longest branch of Yangtze river and plays an important role in Chinese history, flow thorough Hanzhong. Han river shore is Hanzhong people’s favorite relaxing and exercising place. People walk along the shore and enjoy its beautiful scene. Therefore, I introduce stream to the site and make the brook road run through the whole walking area, bring a steady flow of fresh vitality to citizens’ leisure life.
Hanzhong is a historical and cultural city which has many quaint old streets including varieties of commercial forms, such as walnut bread and hot rice noodle can be seen everywhere. Although there’re blocks of shopping malls sprang up everywhere, small retailers along the street still dominate the market.

Valley plains are the main part of the urban territory of Los Angeles which are historically subject of periodical flooding. The site is located in Santa Monica, which is suffered from water catastrophe due to the flooding. Therefore, uplifting the building is one of the strategies to solve this problem. The project is a community center to satisfy the needs of neighborhood. The main programs of the community center are urgent care, shelter and community. The form of my design follows the direction from railway station to road which welcomes people from railway. The landscape in the site composed by many strip-type gardens and square, which has an interaction with building form and also as rain gardens during the flooding period. The height from ground to floor of different part of the building follows the landscape of the original site which creates many height differences to abundant the space. The courtyards apart different main programs and creates the place for people to have connection with nature. Massing Process

Project Statement My early research analyzed and combined the spatial characteristics of the Neoclassical and Gothic columns as seen in Patheon in Paris and Notre Dame Cathedral. Both architectural plans are symmetrical along the central axis and emphasize the spatial order to define the relationship of nave and side aisle. In both projects, perimeter aisles fold and change orientations filling the exterior massing with three dementional spatial definition. Similarly my work explores the contrast between open and dense space,with the arrangement, sequencing and rotation of linear column arrays.

Columns connected to one another as linear arrays are used to define project spaces. This draws directly on the linear arrays of the Patheon. The space of the beam fuses column with wall. The north side of the site is a forest, so in the rear of my project,small modules are oriented along a 45degree diagonal allowing spaces to have two views of forest. In the front, the modules are orthogonally in response to neighboring blocks.

The spatial order alternates between open space and perimeter space, that acts as transitions between the open volumes. I created a sequence from dense space to open space by changing the height of the columns, the thickness of columns and interval between columns. Perimeter spaces are lower than open space and the interval between columns is smaller. In these transition spaces, the columns are extruded laterally to become thickened thresholds. The open spaces are defined at the perimeter, while the transition spaces are defined at both edges and above by the ceiling.

So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
