PROLOGUE I started to learn painting twenty years ago. My persistence through the years has helped in the development of my spatial imagination. Meanwhile, my affection for handcrafting activities and modeling since my childhood also strengthened my manual dexterity. Many a time have I been attracted by the originality of the architectural appearance and structure, over which I would linger for a long time. With the deep interest that I have had in architecture, landscape and planning, I have also bought many books and attended more than one year special training for systematical study. I intended to study landscape in the undergraduate period, but I did not make my dream come true influenced by both my parents. Despite of such a pity, I have never stopped my steps pursuing what I have been longing for, which have also reaffirmed my will to choose architecture related major in my Master’s study, a major to which I would like to dedicate myself in my future career life. Due to personal interest, I have participated in the landscape design course for a long time, through which I have not only accumulated many professional knowledge, but also had the opportunity to involve myself in a series of design projects and works. So far, I have used several professional software for landscape design, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe illustrator, Rhino, SketchUp and Revit, ect.. Besides, I have also participated in a number of architectural design projects. Through such practices, I have been enlightened that landscape design is an ambience-oriented discipline which requires an interaction between architecture and surrounding; it has to take both the landscape and the environment into consideration, which is a combination of perceptual and rational issues in art design. During my Bachelor’s study majoring in HVAC, apart from taking specified courses, I liked to do scientific research and take part in technological competitions together with my schoolmates of other majors. Besides HVAC, scientific researches I have conducted also stretch towards mechanic, environment, etc. For example, the entrepreneurship program jointly launched by my schoolmates majoring in mechanic and me in the midyear of 2016 has won the second prize domestically; the project of scientific research on the atmospheric environment in Beijing that I participated in has won the “Green Seed” scholarship of UNEP-Tongji Institute of Environment for Sustainable Development (IESD) at the end of 2016, which has also been pioneering among non “211 project” universities. It is for personal interest that I have been devoting myself to the research, rather than for the sake of credit. During this process, I have always engaged myself in new discoveries and innovation. As for my professional target, I wish to devote myself to creative design in the future.

04 NOTHING BUT NATURE
Landscape Archietecture&HVAC 2014-2018 Individual work
Niantan Park used to be a popular community park in the past. But with the new development of the surrounding areas, wastewater from the factories nearby was discharged into the lake. And without any management, the park became ruined. Thus, this project tried to revive the park through ecological ways.
/ 念坛公园曾经是一个受欢迎的社区公园。 但是随着周 边地区的新发展,附近工厂的废水被排入湖中。 因此, 该项目试图通过生态方式复兴公园。

DISADVANTAGES & PRESEDENTS
WATER DEVELOPMENT • The site of the park was a local reservoir in 2004, but the reservoir dried up in the 1980s with only a small amount of water remaining. • In 2009, rainwater gathered in the site and made the lake bigger.
2004
2009
• Water began to be stored in 2010, but the pollutants were still in the central lake without any treatment. • The park started to control water bodies in 2011, and the entire water area reached 700 acres.
2011
2010
• In 2013, the quality of water has been improved a bit by natural plants grew near the bank area. the lake was slightly polluted. • In 2016, the quality of water still need to be improved. Manmade banks has poor permeablility of rain water which will be replaced by ecological wetlands.

The workshop will investigate assembly/growth processes through iterative algorithmic strategies, starting from elementary spatial building blocks treated as basic units of computation - able to store and compute data due to their topological and spatio-geometric qualities. Growing assemblages of these elementary, generic components, create wholes/networks whose emergent properties and constraints at intermediate and global scale define novel computational entities and conditions, which in turn fold back with feedback implications on the design of both the component geometry/ topology and its rules of engagement. The design was inspired by Monument Valley, creating an open space that can be accessed everywhere, and

The topic of the space installation is Floating Aquarium. The concept will be based on sea level rises and the development of urban modernization takes the gradual separation of mankind and nature. Trying to explore the relationship between humans and natural animals in modern society. Use phone booths as a communication way for between humans and marine animals (part of nature). First of all, tourists take a boat to the vicinity of the floating phone booth and enter the phone booth through the ladder. Most part of the phone booth is in the water. The four-sided glass windows provide a good view of the sea. At the same time, a display screen and buttons are provided. The specific usage methods would be: Visitors touch the button to select the kind of fish they want to watch. The phone booth calls the corresponding kind of fish by transmitting a specific signal to communicate with marine animals. Then the group of fish is coming, and the encyclopedia information of the fish is displayed on the screen. Tourists feel and observe the fish through the phone booth. A sightseeing channel is set up above the sea surface and the bottom of the sea. Visitors can observe and watch the state when the signal in the telephone booth
calls the fish to swim through. Finally, the fish swam through the floating aquarium. Tourists watched them disappear into the deep sea. After the tour is over, the tourists can choose other buttons to continue or choose another visit guideline. / 空间装置名称为漂浮海洋馆,将海平面上升,城市现 代化的发展将人类渐渐与自然分割作为大背景。试图 探讨现代社会中人类和自然动物的关系。利用电话亭 作为沟通人类和海洋动物(自然)的媒介。首先,游 览者乘坐游艇到达浮动的电话亭附近,通过爬梯进入 电话亭内部,电话亭下半部在水中,四面玻璃窗提供 了一个良好的海底视野,同时,提供了显示屏和按钮, 具体使用方法为:游客触动按钮选择自己想要观赏的 鱼群,电话亭通过发射特定的与海洋动物沟通的信号 召唤对应的鱼群,鱼群来临,显示屏中显示鱼群的百 科信息。游客通过电话亭感受和观察鱼群。在海面上 方和海底各设置了一条观光通道,可以在海面上下观 察和围观当电话亭中的信号呼唤鱼群游过的状态。最 终鱼群游过浮动的海洋馆,游客在电话亭中目送它们 消失在深海中,游览结束,游客可以选择其他按钮继 续或者选择其他的游览通道。
