City Island Nature Center
Adaptive Reuse Academic Work, Advance studio, Spring 2019 Instructor: Caterina Tiazzoldi Area: 4000 square feet Individual Work
Reuse an abandoned structure on the sea shore of City Island, NY.
SITE ANALYSIS
Existing condition The project is located on the gateway to City Island, NY. As the coast is mostly privately owned, the island lacks public approaches to the sea. The community hopes to build a public facility where citizens can relax and kayak.

Set New Reef
In recent years, efforts have been made to purify water by re-introducing oysters into the sea. Oysters can filter seawater, reduce the impact of storms on the coast, and improve biodiversity. As a tourist destination for seafood, a lot of oyster shells are discarded every day. Oyster larvae need to grow on rough surfaces, and oyster shells are the ideal natural base. This forms a perfect closed loop on the city island as shown. People can learn about oysters and see the process of artificially setting larvae in the indoor workshop. The seashore area consists of floating decks, which also have resting areas for kayak, bird island, and oyster observation area. 4 wqiao@risd.edu

DESIGN CONCEPT

close-open
The site of this project is located in downtown Providence, right next to the main traffic hub Kennedy Plaza. This building was built in 1948 and was originally used as a bank. It now consists of CVS pharmacy, offices, and rental apartments. This adaptive reuse project focuses on the CVS pharmacy store located on the ground floor and the basement. One of the most special features of this store is that it is used as a corridor to the square, especially in the cold winters of Providence.
Based on the "corridor" characteristics of the site and observations of human behavior, I analyzed the circulation, sight, and perception of the space from open to close, and derived the concept of dividing the space into strips.
OPEN

The functions of the public space that combines the market, dining area, exhibition area, assembly place, and waiting area are arranged in order from open to private.Then I explored the final form of the space through the study models.

Renovation of the Terrace Interior Design/ Renovation Personal Work, 2015. 05 Material: Recycled wood and other recycled materials, paint Dimension: Size of the terrace 4m*8m Teamwork with family
This project is a renovation of the terrace on the third floor of my house.
Our house Built in 2002, my family and I have lived here for 14 years. We hoped that the terrace could be a space for activities. So my mother once built a small tea room with timber on the terrace. However, the tea room was not suitable for a long stay due to the strong sunlight. The cabin was abandoned gradually.
Problems We have to renovate the terrace: • It was turning old due to long-term exposure to weather. • It was a waste of space. • Due to the direct sunlight exposure of the terrace, rooms on the second floor were hot in summer. The cooling system caused energy waste.

BBQ
• A space for BBQ, with a simple kitchen. • A garden for potted flowers. • Space where we could spend the afternoon reading in the soft wind.

Proposal Temperature lowering: we added a shed with a sun shade roofing sheet on the terrace. Plus the heat-absorbing function of the earth in the garden, the direct sunlight to the floor was effectively reduced. In this way, the temperature of the second floor was lowered. Plants: in addition to the potted flowers, we also planted vegetables fond of sunlight. The vegetables can go directly to our dining table in the BBQ area.

Rain in Bamboo Forest Installation
Academic Work, Composite Communication 2016.01 Material: Bamboo, Mixed Material Dimension: 1 m*2 m*2 m Teamwork “since 1984� Award
Design an immersive dark space to convey a feeling without visual techniques.
Concept & Research
We sense the environment by five senses, then we make a response with behaviors and thus change the environment. Inspired by a poem, we chose “Rain” as our topic. We brainstormed on impressions on rain and found out that hearing and touch are the primary senses that affect humans’ feelings about rain.
Technique & Material Exploration
Raindrops on leaves.
The discomfort of wet clothes.
Wood sticks hung by a spring hitting the floor.
Raindrops hitting the carport.
Wearing rain boots to step on puddles.
The steel rod filled with granules.
To find the best way to express “Purification & Calmness”, we began experimenting with various materials. The sound of bamboos colliding with each other perfectly met our expectations. The bamboo was sawed into small segments and then string together. Then we did more exploration on different lengths and parts of the bamboo.

Water Footprint Exhibition Graphic Design
Professional Work 2016 Beijing Design Week--751 Kids Design Week, 2016.10 Material: water, recyclable plastic bags Dimension: exhibition area of about 20 square meters Teamwork, “Best Educational Design Award� in the 2016 Beijing Design Week
Designed by the Zii Team, this exhibition is about water-saving.
41 Wanyue Qiao
In our daily life, 96.2% water was consumed in unseen cases. We came up with the concept of water footprint and told a story of unseen water resources. We circled a space with water bags. In this way, we conveyed the idea of the consumed water amount through the illustrations and words on the water bags. The illustrations were also made into stickers as gifts for the children. Design with zero waste: The concept of water saving was through the whole exhibition. After the exhibition, the water bags were used for watering the flowers and lawn. An example of the words on the bags: "The jeans you wear consumed water equivalent to 10000 water bags during the production".

Other Works
During my years in college and grad school, I took many elective courses in other departments. I tried to challenge the boundaries of design and learn more techniques. In this way, I could review space design from different angles. I am also deeply interested in handcraft such as clay and embroidery. 1 Handcraft clay 2 Batik 3 Fiber Art 4 Etching 5 Stop motion anime 6 Watercolor 7 Silkscreen printing 8 Pottery 9 Glass product design 10 Embroidery 44 wqiao@risd.edu
