MOTIVATION

In Chinese culture, there are multiple meanings of motivation. Here are my academic works for researching different kinds of motivation in architectural respects. And I believe that a building with motivation will be filled with life and spirit.

Some functions have a connection with each other. The typology method can find new functional modules and add new parts. Each module is prefabricated and assembled efficiently for different needs in different periods. It also has traffic modules that can carry people to their destinations severally . Therefore it can reduce the infection rate in school. And the traffic modules have also embraced recording people’s routes and warning notices

With the situation of the epidemic normalization , people are considering a new type of campus complex. Traditional teaching space and quarantine can not meet the needs of teachers and students during the epidemic period. But folding campus combines the function of study, epidemic prevention and control etc. Creating functional modules and stacking them in three-dimensional space can make the public routes folded for daily use.

Yunghsin Bridge-fair

A bridge complex with the motivation of calligraphy.

The calligraphy’s writing, such as connection, turn and stop, these movements have three-dimension motivations , and the prototype of this project is from them. After getting the shape, we used BESO evolution to optimize the structure. Finally, we got the spatial form of bridge-fair following the structure’s shape.

Yunghsin is a county with multiple cultures, and it’s honoured as the town of calligraphy as well. A bridge needs to connect the ancient city with the new city. There was a type of construction crossing the river with the function of bridge and fair in “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival”. This kind of construction would not only be for transportation, but it is also the city’s carrier And citizens can experience old and new elements of towns over the river.

West Shore Hills

It's a place where She Ethnic Minority Group lives, and it exists lots of traditional cultural customs such as Yunghsin small drum, shield dance, silkworm culture and terrace agriculture.

Heshui River

Heshui River carrys the memory of the Yunghsin people. There used to be a wharf, people used to swim, have trade activities on the shore. There was an ancient floating bridge connecting the north and west shore.

North Shore Ancient City

As a town with a long history, countless cultures such as Burning Tower in Autumn Festival, calligraphy, revolutionary culture, etc. In “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival ”, there is a continuous transition between the suburb and the palace. And the highlight of the painting is the Hong Bridge he lo ation o the ong ridge is in the middle o the painting it s the spa e to connect streets with different city images, and it also connects different types of fairs from moveable fair to unmoveable fair. There are different kinds of social behaviours in these fairs simultaneously, like movie films collaging at the same dimension space

Prototype Creation Prototype Evaluation

Although Chinese calligraphy is a two-dimensional image, it contains three-dimensional motivation while people write. We study three speciÞc calligraphy skills and Þnd the relationship between these skills and three-dimensional motivation.

Prototype Variation

We create four prototypes by using the motivation of the calligraphy. Then we use the parameters to interfere with the basis of the curve in some parts for acquiring variant results to evaluate.

questioning

s there a relationship between the total energy and the amount of supports of the bridge structure?

How many supports will be the optimal solution?

here is a positive relationship between the total energy and the amount of supports.

The more supports set the less total energy would get.

In this experiment we control the variables. We only change the amount of supports, and observe the total energy of structure under the same conditions iteration steps and force condition).

Optimization Procedure

As a result, while the number of supports increased, the total energy of the structure decreases. But the rate of change will be declined when the amount of supports added. Based on the evaluation, we choose the 6 supports solution to further develop the form.

Lack of control groups can not prove the assumptions

Sections of the Bridge-fair

The bridgehead is the space to connect the town and bridge, and there are retaining buildings at the place. The bridge's routes respond to the road in the town While people pass, they will feel the city's new and old images

The Bridge Opening is the space where people can stay. And it is also the transport hub of the bridge-fair, so there will be lots of citizens getting together. Furthermore, it provides shelter for the stalls

The Bridge floor is the primary place for transport. It not only connects two shores but also organize the circulation of the bridge fair. It provides the road for pedestrians and non-motor passersby, and there are some nodes to merge the different roads

The continuous space of bridge-fair connects the indoor and outdoor space, and the blurry boundary allows people to get the immersive experience. The changing forms of space also provide citizens with various function zones. The circulation design between the ancient and new cities makes pedestrians feel the uninterrupted city images between new and old.

Bridge interior is the space in the structure And it with function with the gallery, opera house, shopping centre and canteens.

The inspiration of the building’s form is from the dragon’s motivation the dragon hiding in deep water, the proud dragon repents, seeing the dragon in the field, a flying dragon in the sky. All of them are allusions from the Book of Changes. These allusions describe the dragon in different terms with different motivations , which is the same as the people. The spatial form of the building is combined with these motivations in sequence. And it also responds to the elements of the environment such as trees, mountains and roads.

A complex function library with the motivation of dragon.

With the rapid development of the city, Santai county, with the culture of the dragon is falling into a cultural crisis . The library is located in Xiangyang middle school in Santai county. The purpose of this building is to improve the transportation condition in this area and provide the space for teachers and students to entertain and study The form of the building responds to the culture of the dragon, and it also responds to the environment.

Flying Dragon Library

The low urbanization of Jingfu Town keeps its traditional rural appearance. Backward planning and architectural form had become one of the obstacles to its development.

One of the main reasons for Jingfu Town's slow urbanization is its single development mode, which is mainly based on agriculture Mixed mode is urgently required.

There are lots of mountains surrounding Jingfu Town. And there is about 40 km from Jingfu Town to Santai downtown. The location situation makes it isolating

Due to the backwardness of Jingfu Town, a large number of people streamed into the downtown, leading to the loss of labour in Jingfu Town. It has caused a vicious circle.

The History of Santai The Dragon’s Motivation

Nine Dragons PaintingsThe Motivation of DragonsThe Spatial Form

Gao Zu began to set the county named Qi County, which was subordinate to the Guanghan Country. And the location of the government was the south of Qijiang Town

With the Jinniu Road and Fu River wharf the place has advantages of the transport and the location. So the scale of the city became larger and larger.

The Culture of Dragon in Santai

The people in Santai believe that the power of a dragon can cast out demons. A flood dragon needs to experience the hardships among the sky, ground and people to become a flying dragon. Most flood dragons will choose to experience the hardship of the ground. But it will cause a great flood to damage the villages near the river.

The site of Baoji-Chengdu Railway didn’t follow the Jinniu Road. And the transport of Fu River fell into disuse. So Santai became marginal

Santai's mainly developing way of the economy is agriculture . And it also doesn't have heavy industry. This condition led to the recession of the economy

潜龙勿用

The dragon hiding in deep water -it’s not time for action .

At night, in that old man’s dream. He saw that flood dragon changed into a stately old man with white hair and beard. He said, ’ I am that flood dragon, but now become a flying dragon . Thanks for your positive words. have nothing to give you but a piece of dragon scale.’

One day, an old man was fishing near the Fu River. Suddenly, a flood dragon is out of water. The old man was terrified, for the flood dragon was experiencing the hardship of the ground . And he wanted it to choose other ways to become a flying dragon. Then he said loudly, ’What a wonderful flying dragon!’ twice. Finally, the flood dragon went back.

The proud dragon repents -- the swellhead will be punished.

When the old man woke up, he really got the piece of dragon scale large as a dustpan with golden gloss. The dragon scale can ward of evil, if hang it down the bridge above the river, the flood dragons will choose other ways to become the flying dragon. The old man donated the dragon scale to shield his village

Seeing the dragon in the field -- it’s first time to display one’s talent.

The Explosive View of Construction

There are four kinds of birds’ nests, floating nest, ground nest, brush nest and tree nest. A floating nest is designed for the natatores and waders as an isolating island on the lake. Ground nest is set on the slope near the lake. It provides the various inhabitant and stabilizes the geographical environment Brush nest is a mobile device for protecting the birds from the interference of human. And tree nest is a structure imitating the tree, and it adds the inhabitant of finch

Wetland Birds’ Nests Project

A series of birds’ nests for different species of birds living in wetland.

There are several city wetlands being built in Chengdu City in recent years. These wetlands provide birds with essential inhabitants in urban, and birds are also vital to the Wetland Ecosystem. This project has considered the various species of birds’ habits and demands. The bird nests also contribute to the original environment, such as offering a variety of surroundings and reinforcing the original terrain environment. One of them is in a mobile structure, which can protect the birds from human interference during the day.

The Kinds Of Birds’ Nests

The floating nest has consisted of different size units . Each unit is designed for the demands of different species of birds. The unit can float on the lake with floating columns, and it can also attach to others with the magnetic iron in the structure. These units are placed on the lake so that birds can combine them and further construct them by themselves

Ground nest is anchored on the slope near the lake for reinforcing the original terrain environment

There are lots of species of birds inhabiting the hill. After recording their routes, we know the area where they stay frequently. Then we make venations along the routes for creating the variety of the environment

Birds can build the nest on the structure, between and under the structure. They can find food in the void area between the structure as well.

Brush nest is a mobile structure , which can be changed the angle for isolating the habitat of birds. The structure is made of fibreglass with tenacity and durability. Every circle is connected by the servo steering gear . It can strengthen the wire in the circle for adjusting the angle of brush nest. According to the human interference during the day, the control APP can also control the duration and strength of the servo

gear.

The tree nest is built on a site which there are not enough birds to inhabit. The structure shape imitates the shape of a tree. That provides shelter for them. And this structure is constructed by a concrete three-dimensional printer There are three kinds of bird zones with different predation habits, such as predatory birds, insectivorous birds and herbivorous birds. These heights of zones are fitted to their food resource, that birds can easily reach it and carry it back to their nests.
