Shanghai, China
Renting an apartment has long been a challenge in the dynamic city of Shanghai, where commuters are compelled to endure lengthy journeys due to exorbitant property prices near the city center, making them unaffordable for the average office worker.
Bugao Li, with its ideal location and excellent amenities, offers an affordable and lively living experience enriched by its unique history, culture, and lifestyle. However, it does come with the drawback of a long history that has left the houses in a state of disrepair.
This project aims to address the integration of history, culture and society with minimal unit renovation. It is my hope that through these efforts, Bugoli will provide a vibrant and
PHASE I:1930-1985
Number of inhabitants:3-5 (From a family)
The flats, initially built in the well-situated French Concession, were initially rented to single families at high rates. The residents were mostly middle to upper-income earners.
PHASE II:1985-2000
Number of inhabitants:6-10 (From 2-3 families)
Amid social unrest, Bugoli, an isolated island known for its safety, experienced a surge in occupants, resulting in most houses being converted into shared accommodations.
PHASE III:2000-now
Number of inhabitants:8-12 (From 5-6 families)
Today, this type of home is popular among young people due to its prime location, easy accessibility, and the cost-effectiveness coupled with its vintage charm.
Built in 1930 in the French Concession in Shanghai, it is a very typical old-style Shikumen lane residence, with a building area of 1,004 square metres, and a total of 78 two-storey brick and wood houses, with red bricks paving the external walls. There is a main lane of about 2.5 metres wide and many branch lanes.

The well-defined archway is the entrance to the main alleyway, which is also a daily stop for the people living in the area.
As the only public space on the site, it hosts activities such as relaxing, chatting and sunbathing and is the public centre of the site.
The main lane is the centre of traffic, connecting not only the main alley and the sub alley, but also the activities of the entire lane space.
The junction of the main alley and the sub alley also has a unique form, and many specific activities take place in this situation.
The sub-district is not only an important link in the traffic, but also an important place for activities.
The end of the whole transport system is the same as the beginning, with a public space as the end of the main alleyway, and also as a gathering place for people's activities.

Vik, Iceland
Iceland, renowned for having one of the highest happiness indices, paradoxically also records a significant number of people grappling with depression. A considerable portion of the population experiences seasonal depression, particularly during the extended winter months.
At the same time, Iceland is blessed with diverse and unique landscapes that are soothing and create many interactions with people whenever the sun shines in the summer. I envisioned that even in the winter, these strange landscapes could bring solace to the soul.
In my aspiration to create a museum, aim to address both the social and emotional facets of the city, acknowledging the complexities of happiness and mental well-being in a place that experiences such contrasting seasons.

Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, China
Situated between Shanghai and Hangzhou, Jiaxing presents numerous opportunities for development. However, it faces challenges due to its proximity to several well-established cities, leading to a significant loss of labor and an aging population.
The local industries in Jiaxing are currently fragmented and outdated, not keeping pace with the demands of the modern era. My aspiration is to integrate these industries into a cohesive system that optimizes the existing labor force, promotes sustainable economic development, and encourages young people to return to their hometowns.
In this project, aim to implement a matrix-based approach to address the complex interplay between society, population, and economy, fostering a balanced and dynamic environment for Jiaxing's growth.
Jiaxing's location at the junction of three economic development circles has given it a unique geographical position, but also for this reason, many young people have gone to work in nearby developed cities, leading to a serious brain drain in the area, as well as increased ageing.

Optimization: Jiaxing primarily engages in agriculture, specifically planting and pig farming, with a modest presence in tourism. However, the region is grappling with a significant brain drain, leading to conventional and non-innovative approaches in all sectors. To unlock the full potential for local development, there is a need to tightly and seamlessly integrate these industries into a cohesive and innovative system. This integration could pave the way for limitless growth in the area.
In this stage, leveraging the existing industry and workforce is essential for cultivating and mobilizing manpower. Simultaneously, it is crucial to generate original samples for the new system, laying a robust foundation for subsequent talent introduction and development.
physical exchange physical exchange
In the past decade, the original industry has driven the local economy, attracting young talent and new technologies. This has led to the development of local services and tourism, providing funds for ongoing development and fostering the organic circulation of local industries.
Building on the last stage, we'll boost efficiency by introducing tech experts, advancing local technology, and reforming industries. Concurrently, we'll improve local services and tourism, providing better support for residents and technicians. This helps finalize thVV`e new system, promoting the organic circulation of local industries under its leadership.

Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, China
Beneath the public space, everyone encounters moments when emotions become uncontrollable or when there is a desire to release pent-up feelings. Individuals instinctively carve out a space for themselves, a haven imbued with a sense of security—this serves as the oasis they informally construct for their well-being.
My vision involves utilizing architecture as a potent tool to formally craft a series of oasis spaces. These architectural sanctuaries aim to evolve into a cohesive system, not only catering to individuals but also infusing new vitality into the entire city.
In this project, I use architecture as a medium to address social, spatial, and emotional complexities, aiming to create a warm environment for emotional peace and stability.

This opportunity allowed us to envision a space that develops gradually and is functional from the outset. Going beyond individual spaces, we conceptualize a citywide timeline interconnected with Oases, fostering the growth of these spaces to enhance care networks. The project emphasizes the significance of intentional, step-by-step efforts in social organization, manifested in the physical space.

An oasis space, despite partial sensory disconnection, lets our key senses shape perception. It offers relaxation, fosters hope, and acts as a sanctuary, blending heightened awareness for a tranquil, rejuvenating experience.
Emotions Sensors Oasis perception comfort zone Outside
An oasis space is characterized by an environment where our vital senses continue to influence our perception despite partial sensory disconnection. Within this domain, we engage in relaxation and foster hope. Despite sensory constraints, the oasis functions as a sanctuary, harmonizing heightened awareness and essential senses to provide a tranquil, rejuvenating experience.
There is a close relationship between the senses and emotions, which influence each other and work together to shape an individual's experiences and responses. The senses are the ways in which external information is acquired through the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell), while emotions are the subjective psychological responses to this information.
A string of losses in a competitive pitch can trigger frustration, impacting your overall mindset and influencing the remainder of the game.
When there is a fault in the heart, one cannot peacefully pray with everyone at the foot of the cross, and will feel unusually tense.
When children face criticism at school, they experience both anger over the perceived injustice and anxiety regarding their own shortcomings.
The pub is an outlet for many people, but some people just need the emotional outlet, not the noisy environment, which can make them restless.
Libraries are places where everyone reads quietly, but at the same time every move is under everyone's watchful eye, and some people get absorbed in it.
In nursing homes, the elderly love to bask in the sunshine, but sunny spaces are often open and there is no place where they can enjoy the sunshine and nature on their own.

An optimal setting for seniors who relish the vibrancy of social activity yet find solace in being mere observers. This environment caters to their desire to be surrounded by dynamic happenings while maintaining a sense of tranquility, allowing them to bask in the lively ambiance without the obligation of active engagement.
The bar's lighting and ambiance allow patrons to enjoy the collective atmosphere while also retreating into their private spaces. The carefully curated setting caters to both communal and individual experiences, whether engaged in conversation or lost in introspection.
Tucked between the lively outside plaza and the formal church interior is a serene prayer sanctuary illuminated by the dance of light and shadow. This secluded space provides a tranquil refuge for solitary prayer, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling crowds.
In the intense world of sports, athletes feel heightened tension on the field. Stepping outside the immediate game atmosphere provides a brief reprieve, but the ticking timer and the ball in the window are constant reminders that the game is far from over!
Offering students a refuge from constant surveillance, this space fosters immersive self-reflection and selfregulation. Free from external scrutiny, it empowers students to independently introspect and regulate their actions and thoughts.
