The site of this project is located at an old residential block located at Lauttasaari, Helsinki. Our project aims at creating a highly modular timber structure and facade system that could be easily disassembled and rebuilt for another usage in the future years. Four different facade units are designed for different intention of the interior use and can shift according to different usage.

Since modular buildings are made up of several independent modules, they offer a high degree of flexibility. If there is a need to expand or change the functionality of a building, these changes can be realized by adding, removing or reconfiguring modules without the need for major reconstruction or demolishment which may cause vast waste of building materials and other sustainable issues. Furthermore, the main concept of this project allows it to become a prototype for wooden extensions which can be applied not only on this site, but also somewhere else that has similar situations or requirements.

CONCEPT: DESIGN FOR CHANGE

Traditional Lifespan of Built Environment

Traditional lifespan of built environment is between constructio and demolishment. Buildings are not designed for reuse and future recomposition, in which case large amout of building materials are wasted and extra workload is caused.

Prototype for Modular Wood Extension

In this project, we had an experimental approach of demountable modular wood units which can be apply to building extensions. Demountable modular construction is an innovative building design concept that divides a building into separate modules that can be prefabricated in a factory and then assembled on site. The materials can be recycled even if it reaches its lifespan and similar extension can be a prototype that can be applied somewhere else as long as it is feasible.

Since China's reform and opening up in 1978, China's major cities have undergone rapid urbanisation and during such rapid urbanisation, traditional agricultural culture 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.

Ramp and Roof Open Greenhouse

This is a great roof platform where the citizens and staff of this institution can interact and view of indoor agriculture can be observed

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.

DIVERSE INDOOR PLANTING SPACES AND HARMONIOUS INDOOR-OUTDOOR RELATIONSHIPS

A FRIENDLY INTERFACE TOWARDS HUANGPU RIVER I have tried to create a civil-friendly image of the building by designing a clean and neat façade and trying to make the inner glass volume - the urban agricultural space, and the outer ramp - the civil activity space, have an attractive feeling through the façade The indoor agricultural space features rice experimental fields, wheat experimental fields, maize experimental fields and vegetable cultivation areas, surrounded by a gradual ramp that allows for an interesting dialogue with indoor agriculture.

The building uses mainly city electricity, but also uses environmentally friendly energy to achieve a sustainable design, for example, the transparent façade replaces part of the electricity supply with direct sunlight, while solar panels further save the electricity used by the building

The water supply is an important part of the design of the urban vertical farming. Water supply from the city is the main source and the building is equipped with a water recycling facility and waste water treatment device, and this part of the design can achieve the expected 20% water saving.

Observation Tower JIANG Boyuan

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?

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

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.

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.

CURRENT SITE LAYOUT

COMBINITION OF TWO SPACE

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.

It'll be good to have a cup of coffee while watching a exhibition!

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

I'm feeling tired, Where is the cafe? Scene 1: In the Exhibition Hall

Scene 2: In the Cafe Current Exhibition Current Cafe Cafe + 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

Functions Required

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.
