Individual Work / Independent Study Public Building
JIANG Boyuan from Studio Alpha
Since China's reform and opening up in 1978, China's major cities have undergone rapid urbanisation and during such rapid urbanisation, traditional agricultural is leaving us. Whereas 20 years ago farming life and the rural land were an essential and everyday part of residents' lives, in today's high-rise cities, agricultural civilisations and techniques are gradually being forgotten by city dwellers. In this project, I try to re-implant agricultural culture and techniques into the modern city, so that today's city dwellers can once again feel and experience the advanced agricultural techniques and farming culture of today.
CURRENT SITE CONDITION
The site is situated beside the Huangpu River in Pudong New District, Shanghai, China, which used to be traditional farmlands but has been transformed into commercial land and open urban green space during the rapid urbanisation process.
LOST OF AGRICULTURE
Shanghai has undergone a rapid urbanisation process since the reform and opening up, transforming the farmland into a modern city
The data above shows the urbanisation rate and the proportion of the rural population in Shanghai after 1978, which shows that the urbanisation rate has risen from 58.7% in 1978 to a staggering 95% in 2022, and the rural population has fallen from 91% to merely 12% today.
The following diagram shows the subjective relationship between rural and urban farming ,which shows that in rural farming there is a strong connection between people and agriculture, however, the existing urban farming system loses its connection with the city dwellers.

Individual Work / Independent Study Observation Tower
JIANG Boyuan from Studio Alpha
Airliners are more than just people's daily means of transport. The rigorous operational processes and beautiful aerodynamic shapes of modern airliners have given rise to a subculture group - aviation enthusiasts. They are obsessed with all things aeroplanes and often travel around airports on their own initiative to find suitable locations to photograph them. However, Chinese airports are often strictly regulated, and there is a shortage of locations for them to film and view.
In this project I tried to design a observation tower for this subculture group while taking the safety conditions and restrictions around the airport into account.

A SUB-CULTURE GROUP - AVIATION ENTHUSIAST WHO ARE THEM? WHY TO BUILD A TOWER?
SITE MAPPING AND RESTRICTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED
Analysis of the feasibility of building a viewing tower around the Pudong International
Poor Visibility
The terrain around the airport is complex and tends to create view blockage for aviation enthusiasts
Wheather Threat
Filming around airports usually takes a long time and the weather has to be taken into account in the open air
No Communication And Rest Space
The long hours of shooting leave aviation enthusiasts without a appropriate space to rest and communicate with each other

Individual Work / Independent Study Public Building
YANG Jie from Studio Alpha
In his book Dealing With Characters on graphic design, Zuozuo talks about four groups of people he has come across in his years of practice in relation to design and art, which are designers themselves, other students and design students, their clients and the public, and how they interant in the process of a design commission. Intersetingly, all the four groups have different characteristics and may have interaction with each other. In this project, I try to bring them together into an artist complex and make them generate interesting conversations.

RELATIONSHIPS AMONG FOUR GROUPS
Four categories of people are distinguished according to whether they are engaged and whether they are professional. These four different groups of people all have relationships with each other and have different group characteristics

This is a forth year interior design project (Interior Design and Principle) based on a real potential interior site on the first floor of the Hunan Provincial Art Museum in Changsha.In this course design, I had tried to integrate the traditional exhibition function of an art museum into a café that is located within the museum itself, based on a cylindrical spatial arrangement pattern, to create a space where people can rest and watch the exhibition at the same time.
04
The interior space of a traditional art museum is arranged in such a way that the exhibition space is completely separated from the café, and visitors follow the traditional logical rule of seeing the exhibitions in the exhibition hall and drinking coffee in the café. But I believe that the combination of the two functions will produce interesting spatial forms
CURRENT SITE LAYOUT
This is a course design based on a real project and site located in the south-eastern corner of the first floor in the Hunan Provincial Art Museum in Changsha, Hunan Province.
The entire interior has a rough L-shape, with a small depth of space and a large number of columns on the wall near the south side.
We were asked to design a cafe for the newly built provincial art museum for people visiting the exhibition hall, with the possibility of inserting other interesting functions such as exhibitions, retailing, etc. as required.
COMBINITION OF TWO SPACE
It'll be good to have a cup of coffee while watching a exhibition!

ADOPTED LAYOUT FOR INSERTING NEW SPACE
There are several typical forms of spatial design for museums, the main ones being Comb Type, Inner Sanctum, Given Route and Hero Object. I set a few filters to choose the appropirate type, which is the number of entrances, modularity and whether it is blocking visually
COMBINATION PATTERNS OF BOTH SPACE
In the long and narrow space I have tried to explore the possible combinations of cylindrical spaces, first forming irregular polygonal fills in the plane, then forming inner tangent circles within each polygon, and finally reducing this inner tangent circle by a certain proportion to create a space that can be used by visitors.

Twelve different types of unit modules have been placed throughout the cafe space to meet the 12 different functional modes required in the design and use process. All the modules adopt a similar formal logic, by giving them different sizes and heights, and by rotating them at different angles in combination with openings, they create interesting interactions with people, resulting in a regular and staggered interior space.

STRUCTURE INTERVENTION
In addition, the choice of interior materials has been made by using a rough concrete material in line with the floor on the outer surface of the modules and a lighter coloured polished cherry wood grain material on the inside. In addition, brushed stainless steel panels are used for the ceiling and both walls to create an interesting space with a reflective effect.
