MULTIFARIOUS FUTURES: LES HALLES 2030 Post Humanist Commerce & Public Space University of Pennslyvania Site Location: les Halles, Paris Instructor: Robert Stuart-Smith Partener: Qiaoxi Liu
The studio started from multiple directions to deal with the complex site and various programs. One approach is to start with Object -- Field Formation. Fields provide an organisational principle in which it is possible to distribute space, activities, materials, and objects across a site, providing order while enabling flexibility to context, aesthetic difference and adaptive change.

The project devoted to exploring public and private shopping space in the chaotic urban environment and attempts to increase the attraction of physical retail in the near future by integrating wellness programs. Incorporated with VR technology, the individual shopping box enables customers to enjoy the privacy
of purchasing personal products in public space and delivered to them by the deliver bot on site. Retail with wellness programs like yoga, gym, and meditation gives customers immersive shopping experience and aims to generate a positive influence on people's lifestyle.

CONCEPT SECTION MODEL
It is interesting that even though Andy Warhol is the most famous artist in the visual art movement, he was the least one who considered himself as an artist. Warhol believed that the most common objects could be part of the artist's palette and everyone could become famous
for fifteen minutes. His spirit of connecting normality with art inspires us to design a black threshold that tightly connects two distinct forms: one interlaced gallery space and an integration of interlocked volumes that serve as educational areas and offices in the museum.
Sectional Perspective
Program Diagram Our proposal for The New Andy Warhol Museum is not only aiming at exhibiting Andy’s work in a well-designed way but also offering a space for the young generation to explore and appreciate themselves. We create a series of space where visitors can upload and project their photography on the wall and share their perspectives on what pop art could mean. In this space, no one is really the artist or viewer, everyone is just a contributor to pop art.

The black threshold which appears throughout the façade and the interior of the museum is a metaphor of Warhol’s spirit.
03 New York City Gateway Future Airport Design
University of Pennslyvania Site Location: New York, US Instructor : Ali Rahim, Ezio Blazetti, Brian Deluna, Nathan Hume Partener: Haozhou Yang, Xiaoqing Meng
PRECEDENT -- THE GRAND PALAIS
First of all, we studied the Grand Palace from Paris, France. We extracted its unique steel-structure dome. By carefully drew the truss, we found that it has two main elements. One is bifurcation of one truss, another is its ornamental style. Therefore, we used the first element to create the truss system. Starting from three circles, every truss either meets each other and merge into one, or bifurcate to two trusses. By lifting up or placing down, we create the different height of truss. For the ornamental part, we
utilized it in two sizes. For the smaller size, we extract several outlines from the truss and generate outer shapes of volumes, which in a way effect the inner space. Based on the fascinating curves of these outlines, we create some seams that were designed to be windows and platforms. For the bigger size, we managed to use these forms in plan drawing.

STRUCTURE MODEL
The idea of "future airport" in our project is to make the cargo system as special amenity for the visitors, which means they can get sight connection with the cargoes. Meanwhile, the cargo itself runs separately from people but in a integrated system.
SECTIONAL STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
The precedent "grand palace" provides two main elements that gives leading function of organizing the airport. The first idea is bifurcation for the truss system. The cargoes can follow the ramps in the trusses and spiral all the way down into the tunnel.
SECTION MODEL
The section model is a way of exposing interior structure and demonstrating the interaction between the cargo system and the passenger space. By partially exposing the cargo movement to the passenger, the airport offer
a new entertainment for people to learn about future logistic system and the operation of online shopping. The two main occupants-- cargo and passengers will coexist harmoniously in this constantly interlaced space.

INDIVIDUAL PROTOTYPE
By analyzing the establishing base and its surrounding environment and extracting the figure and ground relation, we search for a proper courtyard style and courtyard complex from traditional courtyard. We conduct renovation on the single part
and facade of the historical building, but retain its original length. In addition, we add the street lamps around or on the top of the buildings. The design means to bring life to the traditional street and transform residential building into commercial building.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS
The site of this project lies in an area that used to be what we called "Village in the City". In the recent ten years ,the governmnent of Zhengzhou brought out a big demolition of these "villages" .The goal is to privide a better living environment for the citizen and to make the city more organized. Although the living condition of the village is very crowded, it attracts a lot of foreign workers with low rents.
These residents are not only some twenty something, some of them also have families and children, which makes it more critcal to create a healthy living enviroment for them. This design provides a semi-private green platform inserted in the multi-layer, so that in most units residents can have a green open platform shared with neighbors.

THE RHYTHM OF THE "X" Pavilian Structure Design Zhengzhou University Site Location: Zhengzhou, Henan, China Instructor : Xiaoyan Lin Partener: Yuanxin Gu, Yiwen Li
CONCEPT
Different from the starting point of normal design task, this design starts from structure innovation and aims to create dimensional feeling of novelty so that to meet the expectation of being different. Starting from the self- building mode, we seek the primary rudiment of architecture structure. And we reconsider the ordinary structure mode from the architecture perspective, extract it from real life and take it as the motif of this design.

MAKING AND MEANING Visual Study Southern California Institute of Architecture 2016 Summer Program Individual
I GRID In the first week , we are asked to consider the gird as n organizational and aesthetic structure, in two- and three-dimensions, against which folds deviations and figures can be read.We also need to consider the relationships between the infinite thinness of vector
lines and the unavoidable thicknesses of materials and between physicl objects and their shadows and projections . Through these excercise, we explore the potential for distortion and ivention that comes from translations between digital and physical mediums.
II STARTING WITH THE PLEATS In the second week of exercises, students will consider the surface, texture, shade, and background.interior corner ‘site’ of their preceding assignments as an object to examine a series of design procedures relating to surface, texture, shade, and background. This exercise will examine the line, its segment and length, as it
relates to surface, texture, and depth. Where the previous exercises considered the collection of lines and their varying line weights as composing the body and rhythm of the grid on a flat plane, this exercise takes the single articulated line, its peaks and valleys, and extrudes in space to introduce to the grid a third dimension.
III COLOR EXPERIMENT This week we use rhino creat a three-face cube with the outcome of the last week , and experiment the color options with photoshop
. By giving the RGB channels different grids pattern we can creat different color of the whole image.

IV SERIAL VARIATION : Transformation an Aggregation The last week, we use the rhino software to repeate transforming cube using an unified logic, and then boolean all the products together. In this step, we combined visual study and architecturefor
the first time, and began to consider the outcome as space. The combined product can be seen as the building itself, it also can be the counted as the interior space of a building.

The process can be literal photosynthesis or artificial photosynthesis, which means we can integrated plant or use photosynthetic Materials to create inhabitable indoor space and outdoor space.

The meditation chair is where you can seat, relax while bathing in the sound of water dripping. It is a space to revitalize and recharge.We went through a series of hands on casting experience. Those tests allow us to learn the property, the emergent of the material and relevant techniques which helped us to define the final form.
