SHIFTED SUBTRACTION OF LIGHT SHARED -PART1 LANGUAGES GENERATION
Gsapp Advanced VI Studio Project SITE : TOKYO, JAPAN PROGRAM : ARCHITECTONICS OF MUSIC INSTRUCTOR: STEVEN HOLL & DIMITRA TSACHRELIA COLLABORATOR: JING XU DATE : 2015
The purpose of this studio was to create our own architecture languages, beginning with analytical drawings and model studies of two masterpieces of modern architecture. The two study objects are kazuo shinohara's house under high voltage line and chillida's tintaya project. The languages we generate from the two objects are shifted cylinder, subtraction and light of movement.

GRAFFITI MUSEUM-Part A Pipe Gsapp Advanced V Studio Project SITE : MANHATTAN, NEW YORK PROGRAM : MUSEUM INSTRUCTOR: BERNARD TSCHUMI COLLABORATOR: YUAN JIALIN DATE : 2014
What makes a pipe a “pipe”? what if we change the SHAPE of pipes? Or the SCALE? Is It still a pipe? Definitions vary from individual and individual. What’s the boundary of the definition? When will a pipe become another element?
11
ANALYSIS: LOGIC OF PIPES Pipes have their own logic, mostly, according to media inside the pipes.
12
Thermal air, heated by the people surrounding
Second cooling step
The cooler air goes through series of pipes with different shapes to generate various sounds.
13
The heated air is collected by the pipes
Third cooling step: underground
The big pipe is used to collect water and people can listen the flowing sound of water
AIR COOLING AND WATER COLLECTING SYSTEM
First cooling pipe, a air pipe in a water pipe

GRAFFITI MUSEUM-Part B Beam Gsapp Advanced V Studio Project SITE : MANHATTAN, NEW YORK PROGRAM : MUSEUM INSTRUCTOR: BERNARD TSCHUMI COLLABORATOR: YUAN JIALIN DATE : 2014
In the modern society, cities are changing so fast. Everything is temporary, which challenges the static buildings, especially in the city like New York. We put Graffiti in the museum to challenge the normal museum with the static, formal, white exhibition space. Graffiti museum will change everyday. These challenge the traditional museums where the art pieces are well protected and one exhibition last for months. As a victim of the city, the museum itself is a record throughout the time.

Based on the Graffiti culture, Graffiti art pieces are often drawn in the nights and the next day public will see the art pieces unpredictably. So we provide a museum for public in the daytime and a drawing space or club for Graffiti artists to draw and climb in the night time, enabling the museum to change every day. At the same time, According to the city fabric like New York, in the daytime, it would be a normal solid building like a box. But in the nighttime, it would be wildly open to the artists.
21
All the exhibition is divided into two parts, temporary exhibition and permanent exhibition. Permanent part will be protected in the night. The features of beam provide us the possibility to create a transformable museum because of its structure advantage. Through the day and night the paths create different accessibility for certain space. Also all the surfaces of beams would be the canvas for the artist to paint. The next day those drawings would be exhibition

A House for An Ink-Wash-Drawing Artist
2012 TeamZero Competition Project TYPE : COMPETATION WORK / COLLABORATION WORK SITE : XIXI WETLAND, HANGZHOU, CHINA PROGRAM : HOUSE / GARDEN / GALLERY / EXHIBITION / RESIDENCE COLLABORATIOR : DONGBAI SONG DATE : 2012 The house is located in Xixi Wetland which is entirely composed of the natural environment, in Hangzhou. I intend to explore the relationship between nature and architecture and speculate about an association between human and environment. The major focus of the design is the peaceful settlement to a complex surrounding natural environment and the dwelling room. Inheriting its prototype of the traditional courtyard house, the new space pattern is transformed, trying to reverse inside and outside in the traditional courtyard. Thus a 3600 garden is created. In addition,the broad external space's enclosure that compress vast sphere to a fine complex volume is the surrounding wall while maintaining the external openness. 31

Interchange of Definition between INS
URBAN The Formula of “Si he yuan”, as an abstract of terrain, is the outcome of De Hoop transformation of the central plains area. It is the refinement upon Chinese traditional space. In order to adapt to the social system of hierarchy and the requirement of combination in urban development, “Si he yuan” was created under the urban environment. Finally, it separates space into two parts, external world and internal courtyard.
INSIDE
OUTSIDE 33
nition between INSIDE and OUTSIDE
NATURE The relationship between inside and outside inverted in the natural environment. The courtyard which used to be the inside space flip to the outside, thereby forming a new inside space—an ambiguous sphere in between architecture and environment. On the other hand, the outside space is compressed into the interior, forming an unprecedented out space-a space facing the whole world.

CITY FOREST_ Open Research-oriented Architectural Design Based on Environmental Impact TYPE : ACADEMIC WORK / COLLABORATION WORK SITE : HARBIN, CHINA PROGRAM : DIGITAL MEDIA CENTER / PUBLIC GREEN SPACE COLLABORATOR : DONGBAI SONG / MING LIU TUTOR : CHENG SUN
DATE : 2011
In this project, we were encouraged to discuss digital age library building space possibility with the aid of parametric generation architecture design platform. And based on the characteristics of architectural space, the further research science system, the theory of complexity science under the guidance of building parametric design method, students try to explore and develop independent research parametric platform application. Based on research of the site, we advocate retaining the original green public and try to construct a new City Park, recall for the protection of entire urban green space. Our Building resembles a forest, a living organism, composed of leaves, root, branch. When people pass through the site, they will be embraced by the sunlight filtered by the architecture—an experience just like walking in the forest.

Change The Landscape
OrigInal Landscape
New Landscape
In order to better analyze the original topography, we have established orthogonal grids parallel to the streets. Landscape change is achieved through the change of height of grid intersection points. Two key factors play the most important role: 1. The Transportation noise from the four streets around. 2. The original height of the terrain. We will consolidate the Influence of two factors together, creating a land evaluation system.

Transportation Noise The impact of traffic noise is a comprehensive synthesis of four streets. Because of differences among streets’ level, impact on the same point is different from each other, with traffic volume and the distance between them.
Landscape Height The impact of terrain height is based on people's behavior, people would like to stay at the highest and lowest points. Therefore, we identified a balanced point of height. The larger the absolute value of the height of the point, the better the height of the point is at this time, which has more advantages.

Add Tree Units
Before Adding Trees
After Adding Trees
Generate unit evenly in established orthogonal structure system. Then determine the value ranges of units through functional requirements. Control the rotation range of the unit to achieve the connection relationship between unit . Increase the branch transportation system to get connect with the ground and lower layer.
Process of Formation

Step 3
Units Rereach
Function
According to requested functions, we can determine the value range of units’ size. In that way, units will change randomly within the range defined. 2mx2m ~ 4mx4m
2mx2m ~ 8mx8m
2mx2m ~ 12mx12m
Conection
The rotation of the units provides the opportunity of connection. Additionally, the degree of dispersion is related closely to the range of values of the rotation angle. -15 0 ~ +15 0
-30 0 ~ +30 0
-90 0~ +90 0
Structure
Because units’ support system come from the bottom, so the size of underlying orthogonal structural system directly determine the density level of the units. 4mx4m

Urban Complex in front of Harbin railway station
Graduation Design, 2013 TYPE : ACADEMIC WORK / SOLO WORK SITE : HARBIN, CHINA PROGRAM : URBAN COMPLEX / PUBLIC BUILDING IN HISTORICAL DISTRICT DATE : 2013 TUTOR : JIANMEI WU Harbin is famous for its unique and charming buildings. It not only has constructs the traditional Chinese classical architectures but also many kinds of European architectures. The historical building area in the heartland of Harbin now has developed into one of important commercial areas of Harbin. Due to the urban development, the new railway station in the west of the city has been built, sharing the passenger flow of the old railway station. To create a building that can echo with history buildings and make the history buildings have an interaction among themselves.In this sense, our first intention was to create a building that could offer an experience of varied possibilities, providing with fresh vitality for the historical district.

SENSOR OF THE SUNSHINE _ an automatically mechanism to sunlight 2012 “Light of Tomorrow” International Competition Project TYPE : ACADEMIC WORK / COLLABORATION WORK SITE : HARBIN, CHINA PROGRAM : RESEARCH ON SOLAR IN OPEN SPACE COLLABORATOR: YAO XUYUAN / ZHAO HONGCHUAN TUTOR : BAI XIAOPENG DATE : 2012
We know light is an indispensable part of our life. We typically connect it with beautiful things and some fond memories. However, sunlight does not always go the way we wish. Sometimes we have to use solid walls and roofs to prevent the sunburn. But once we block the radiation, we also block the pleasure of sunshine. To face up the circumstance where sunlight is wanted meanwhile isolation should be defend against,we need a more positive and flexible strategy to interact with sunlight. We conceive a structure that can automatically interact with the (erratic) sunlight. This design is typically about how architecture automatically responses to one of the nature factors, the sunlight. 55
56
Principle
Concept Sketch cloudy
sunny
As we have observed, bags with air would expand when they are heated. The phenomenon illuminates us how to create a special device to response to the constantly changing sunlight spontaneously. We fulfill a translucent bag with certain amount of air, making it a bubble. After being exposed to sunlight, the interior air absorbs energy from sunshine. As a consequence, the air gets hotter, leading to expanding of its volume, then the expanding of the bubble automatically. With the sunlight weakening, the volume of air would shrink due to the dissipation of heat, which accounts for the restoration of the bubble.
