ABOUT

During my past studies, I have come to realise that architectural design is a highly integrated discipline, not only as a technical product but also as an artistic creation. The essence of architecture is space, and the architect controls space through the human scale. To shape a coherent system or functional whole, to allocate space rationally, to relate to each other and to form a system of its own. The environmental and architectural design programme during my undergraduate studies provided me with the necessary design theories and skills, developed my independent research and critical thinking skiParametric Reconfigurationlls and, most importantly, allowed me to balance the relationship between people, architecture and the environment from a holistic perspective.

In my understanding, the role of an architect is not only to shape a space, but to think about what the space can bring about, whether the space can bring about a positive development for the people or things in the space or even the surrounding environment, or whether the space can respond to human behaviour or changes in the environment, so my study and design process during my undergraduate studies was also I have been thinking about and exploring the answer to this question throughout my undergraduate studies and design process.

In my future studies, I hope to continue to consolidate my professional knowledge in the field of architecture, while learning more interdisciplinary knowledge and exploring more design possibilities in order to produce more in-depth, creative and socially valuable architectural projects.

A NEW UTOPIA FOR THE MODERN CITY-URBAN DESIGN

Economic development inevitably brings an increase in population density. How can cities face the problem of land constraints in the process of development? The project is inspired by Thomas More's book Utopia. The project is inspired by Thomas More ’ s book Utopia. To address the drawbacks of sprawling cities, the central axis of Beijing is selected as the foundation of the city through research and reflection on cases. By developing rules and algorithms for the spatial mix of the central axis and the surrounding buildings, the project addresses the problem of land resource constraints in the future. The project combines Beijing’s ancient central axis with the concept of a Utopian city, adapting it to the development of the contemporary city as a ‘New Utopia’ .

BACKGROUND

In each city there are four public hospitals them very spacious, like four small towns.W ----The The project is inspired by Thomas More’s Utopia, which presents an ideal state through the description of a Utopian island. Everything works according to the order set by the city itself, and the island is equal in terms of means of production, resources, size, population.

The increase in urban population is an inevitable trend under global development. The Utopian design of the city seems advanced for its time, but as the population grows and the city expands continuously, the problem of land constraints would be magnified over time. The ‘New Utopia’ will be based on the Utopian theory of the city and contemporary urban development trends to address the problem of urban sprawl due to increasing population.

Based on the book’s description of the Utopian city, I have studied Barcelona to refine and develop my design approach, as its initial urban expansion is very similar to that of the Utopian city.

THEORY

The Cerdà Project: the expansion of Barcelona

The urban plan was based on the principle of equality, with the intention of eliminating socially stratified communities. Everyone lived in octagonal blocks with an internal courtyard and an evenly distributed population, with no ‘exclusive areas’ for the rich or the poor.

The city block was designed to be 113.3 x 113.3 metres, with an optimum space allowing for an air volume of 6 square metres per person.The width of the street was limited to 20, 40 or 60 metres in different cases. Inside the octagonal block, the dark green parts are buildings, leaving green spaces and public spaces in the light green areas. The buildings occupied only two sides of the block and were no more than 24 metres deep and up to four storeys high,

The development of Barcelona’s neighbourhoods from public to private

Additional areas 67200 ㎡ +29440 ㎡ +18944 ㎡ +52864 ㎡ +126323 ㎡ =294771 ㎡

Economic growth inevitably brought an increase in population density, and Barcelona ’ s urban development did not follow Cerd à 's original plan. The Utopian supported public green spaces now become closed and privatised neighbourhood. The buildings reach a depth of 35 metres, exceeding the set limit of 24 metres.

Barcelona is a product of the development of Utopian theory into modern times. The increasing population of cities in the process of sprawl inevitably leads to a strain on land resources. Utopian cities were not designed with this in mind, but simply kept adding colonies to the outer states.

But the emphasis on equity in politics, economics and education and the concern for the disadvantaged mentioned in the book are concrete manifestations of their humanitarianism, and do not lead to differences in access to the city’s resources due to differences in status. At the heart of this Utopian humanism are social equality, harmony and compassion for the underprivileged, which is a key reason why The Cerdà Project has endured and is still the guiding principle of its urban development 150 years later.

EXPLORATION OF URBAN LAYOUT

To address the problem of land resources constraints in cities sprawling expansion, I have researched several large cities. I have found that many have a clear central axis in their planning and a spatial layout around it. Many cities around the world have had significant exploration and practice of urban axes in their historical development, which eventually becomes the most concentrated expression of the spatial and cultural composition of the city.

Paris, France Canberra, Australia Beijing, China Berlin, Germany

Beijing’s ancient central axis contains a particular urban rule according to which the city’s architectural layout and road planning is based. In order to simulate the complex form of urban growth, I use Grasshopper to create an algorithm and attempt to extract an element from it as the basis for algorithmic growth, generating a ‘New Utopia’ .

Research:

An exploration of the spatial composition formed by the multiple hierarchical relationships between the central axis and its surrounding architectural axes and the different architectural areas.

Definition of an axis: a virtual straight line formed by the direction of view of the subject building, the direction of movement and the relationship between the different buildings. All axissymmetrical buildings overlap and coincide through this line.

Number of axis types in the y-zone

Using the central point of the Forbidden City as the origin, a rectangle of 400 x 400 metres is created according to a measure of 400 metres, spreading out in all directions.

Combining the data on the variation of axis types and number of axes within each rectangle, prototype algorithm rules are obtained.

In the x-axis direction, 5 intervals are set at the origin of the coordinates, 0, ±400; ±400, ±800; ±800, ±1200; ±1200, ±1600; ±1600, ±2000. In the y-axis direction, 4 intervals are set at the origin of the coordinates, 0, ±400; ±400, ±800; ±800, ±1200; ±1200, ±1600.

RULE 4 : In each interval the rank of the block axes decreases from the most central block to the surrounding ones.

City Initial Calculation Algorithm

INITIAL DESIGN

The relationship between the central axis and the different types of building axes around it is combined to generate a combination of architectural spaces through the axes. New combinations of architectural spaces are generated based on the regular arrangement between the 24 different types of axes.

initial site

After generating an urban space based on the Beijing axis, I have found that I could let the city grow outwards according to its own rules under this rule. However, if the initial value is not set, the city will still expand outwards disorderly and will not be able to alleviate the problem of land resource constraints.

Initial city model Generate-3

Considering the actual situation of the city, I have then considered how to combine the two urban rules, so that the ‘New Utopia’ city could retain its original order and at the same time alleviate the problem of land constraint. So I have decided to use vertical space and let the city grow upwards according to the central axis rule.

As the city grows, the number of iterations increases if the initial number of axes is high and the axis level is high (i.e. high urban density); if the initial value is small, the number of iterations decreases accordingly.

New Utopia urban algorithm

1. Combining the algorithm derived from the central axis, the most central one in the plan layout is used as the initial point to derive the relationship between the building axes and the main axes in the new city according to the rules, as a way to explore the issue of population growth and land resource use in urban space.

2. Spatial planes are generated from the rule-generated axes.

3. A certain number of axis types are given to the initial point of the hierarchy according to the algorithm rules. From the initial point, different types of axis generate different planes.The progression of the relationships between the different types of axis forms the space from which the city is created.

Urban growth trends

Based on the area where the central axis is located, a population density of 15,350 inhabitants/square kilometres is set. The population growth rate is determined to be 2.39% using 2020 and forecast data, and the height of the city grows as the population increases.

URBAN GROWTH LOGIC

The city grows according to the above rules, and the number of axes in each upward iteration decreases as the number of iterations increases by a factor of 0.6 (i.e. the number of buildings), and the axis level decreases. The axis level is higher in the centre of the city and lower in the surroundings. The height of each iteration is varied up and down between 15 and 40 metres to ensure that connections are created between the support columns formed by the vertical axes at each level. The end of the growth is determined by the initial number of axes and the natural growth rate of the population.

DIFFERENT SCALES OF UNITS (on display)

Different scales and functions of the units are linked to form the ‘ New Utopia ’ city. The scale of the units will change as the function and population changes, so that they are better adapted to the growth the city. There is also a more scientific and comfortable living environment, which ensures good ventilation and light. During the urban iteration, the length and proportion each unit will change, but the total volume and area will remain the same.

HUMAN CRYONICS IN THE METAVERSE-ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

There is still a long way to go before human cryonics becomes a reality, and according to the questionnaire I understand that a large percentage of people are still unaware of the technology, there is always a fear of the unknown. So I think it could be a combination of online and offline, where people could upload their own body data after experiencing the process of cryonics through VR and other virtual reality technologies, and where people could not only learn about the technology but even decide whether they would like to donate their bodies to the project when they die in a few decades. Scientists will be able to refine the technology by using the data from the existing participants to perform calculations on the computer again and again, and this will make a significant contribution to genetic preservation, memory preservation, organ storage and more.

BACKGROUND

"At the point where the current legal and medical system gives up on a patient,they aren't really dead."

What is Death?

THE TRADITIONAL DEFINITION OF DEATH：

Death used to be when a person's heart stopped, then when their heart couldn't be restarted, and is now being extended further.

THE MOST ACCURATE DEFINITION OF DEATH：

Death is only permanent when the structures encoding memory and personality(necessary for consciousness) have become so disrupted that it becomes theoretically impossible to recover the person.

What is Cryonics?

EXPERIMENTAL FOUNDATION TECHNIQUE PROCESS &

QUESTIONARY

CONCLUSION:

Life and death are not binary states --The transition from one state to another is a gradual one. Death is not an absolute, but a relative state. And modern cryosurgery techniques will bring patients into what most people consider to be a state of death, and then allow them to awaken again.

Cryonics is the practice of preserving life by pausing the dying process using subfreezing temperatures with the intent of restoring good health with medical technology in the future.

TECHNOLOGY HISTORY

--Eliezer Yudkowsky, You Only Live Twice

1-7

The quality of a cryopreservation depends on how soon the procedure can begin. A cryonics standby team is waiting near a dying person up to a week in advance, so they may begin almost immediately after cardiac arrest.

FUTURE

No cryonics organization can currently revive a cryopre-served patient, but we have confidence revival may be possible. Future medical technologies are expectedvto have very broad capabilities.

The cryopreservation process should beginas soon as a dying person experiences cardiac arrest and can be declared legally dead. While the patient are still early in the dying process, with cells and organs still viable.

Long-Term Care

The patient is stored in a vacuum-insulated metal dewar at subfreezing temperatures using liquid nitrogen.Liquid nitrogenbis topped up regularly, and the dewars require no electricity. The patient will remain in long-term care until possible revival .

Stabilization

Blood circulation and breathing are artificially restored temp-orarily, to protect the brain. The patient is then cooled in an ice water bath, and their blood is replaced with an organ preservation solution.

Legal Death Deep Cooling

The patient is cooled down to -196 ℃ , which cryopreserves the patient in a solid state. The patient is now protected from deterioration for theoretically thousands of years, and the dying process has been effectively stopped.

The cooled patient is transported to cryonics operating room. Many people choose to retire and enter hospicenear cryonics lab for shorter transport time and better procedural outcome.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL BUILDING HIGH RISE-ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

With the development of globalisation and closer communication between countries, cultural development often becomes more localised in the process of dissemination, and how cultural communication can reflect its uniqueness in different contexts. The project is based on the theme of 'China Pavilion' and uses traditional wood materials as the basis for the construction of a multi-functional high-rise building that will serve as a medium for the dissemination and integration of culture, making it more accessible to a wider audience and promoting its development.

The project transforms a number of complex and contradictory aspects into a rational and uniquely attractive balance within the different contexts that create spatial interconnections.

FOREWORD

It is difficult to see ourselves clearly without the reference of foreign cultures. Understanding the differences and commonalities between cultures promotes learning and even integration between them. Whether ancient or modern, different cultures enjoy many common beauties and a common humanity. The value of exchange lies in influencing people's thoughts and behaviour. For any people or country, foreign cultures will not only complement but also inspire creativity and development.

The project site is located on the edge of the old fortified city circle near the Elbe River in Hamburg, Germany. Under the theme of "China Pavilion", a multifunctional high-rise building will be created as a medium for the dissemination and integration of culture, so that more people can learn about Chinese culture and continue to learn from it and integrate it with each other.

PARAMETRIC RECONFIGURATION-URBAN DESIGN

The continuous development of public transport has gradually influenced people's travel patterns and living habits, resulting in changes in people's requirements for urban public space and public life. In this project, I try to explore the new model of people's life under the TOD model, integrating the concept of green and low-carbon with the model of urban development, and combining the changes in people's lifestyles, behavioural patterns, urban space needs and the development of the site space in the context of "lowcarbon". The project also analyses the needs of urban rail transport development and proposes corresponding measures according to the existing social development issues.

The project is based on an algorithmic reconstruction of the urban road network through the use of grasshopper tools, gradually forming a diverse urban space oriented towards chronicity, and optimising the urban spatial structure through the introduction of vertical spaces, i.e. commercial, office and residential complexes.

BACKGROUND

With rapid urbanisation and the equally rapid development of rail transport, the TOD model has been an assured and popular model of significant urban and architectural development in recent years through its own land use planning formula, mixeduse land development, proximity to public transport facilities, station-city integration and encouragement of low-carbon modes of transport.
