Other works

I designed by exploring the relationship between different groups of people, the relationship between man and nature, and contemporary human mental health problems.

At the same time, I often think: How to endow space emotion?

How to make space design better affect people's behavior patterns, and then promote people's spiritual needs?

How to combine space design with sociology and psychology?

How to cultivate the inner life? ...

David Brooks' words always inspire me: The noise of fast and shallow communications makes it harder to hear the quieter sounds that emanate from the depths.

Individual Project. | winter 2021.

The project aims to build a future utopia floating island of self-cultivation and happiness through the exploration of human behavior and psychological and emotional characteristics.

In 3022, the earth's ecology has undergone tremendous changes.

Waters occupy 95% of the earth's area.

Some of them rely on the development of science and technology to achieve underwater life, while others have evolved into amphibians following ecological changes.

What's more worth mentioning is that with the continuous advancement of human civilization, physical needs have been completely resolved, but psychological problems have become more serious. People feel more and more lonely, blocked, depressed, socially afraid, depressed, etc., and the entire society has become Dim and dull, impetuous and split, and profitless.

SLEEPING CABIN 1 Hi,I am Anna, I have lived here for a long time. Every day I wake up with the sunrise, the sparkling water will tap the glass on the bedside, and schools of fish will swim by from time to time. A beautiful day begins again!

2 SHARE MEDIA CENTER

Then, I came to the 'Shared Media Center' where I can clearly see real-time news, hot topics and photos from all over the world. At the same time, I can also surf the Internet side by side with my friends and family!

3

I think, hiding my emotions signifies strength, a 'strong'person shows litter to no emotions. Conversely,openly expressing my emotions without feeling ashamed or embarrassed is deemed as a sing of weakness.

VS

I disagree. I think that every emotion should be treated equally, and every emotion has its own role and uniqueness.We should treat them correctly.

We should express our emotions bravely.

Show your emotions confidently You need hugs

CULTIVATION FIELD ALONE Sometimes I get tired with my friends and relatives. I will slowly fall from the Sleeping Cabin and stay here alone, reading, meditating, or doing whatever I want to do.

5 SERENE TOWER After that, I came to the symbol: the tower of tranquility that surpassed all troubles. I hope to continuously improve my personality, and eventually I can interact with others in a better way. I also imagine that if one day, everyone will be like this, peaceful coexistence, honesty and friendliness...

4-1 SORROW ISLAND Sadness can express our affection, admit to accept the sadness at this moment, and fill the loss with sadness. Sadness is another form of existence.

There are many corners for me to hide when I am sad. I can express my sadness and miss as much as I can!

Oh! I met a boy who was also sad in a corner that day, and now he has become my boyfriend~

4-2 ANXIETY ISLAND Encourage us to take some actions to respond to make the future more controllable.

In my life, there are always many troubles that make me feel anxious. Just like this island, full of obstacles to progress, I follow the light, which urges me to keep moving forward, and finally reach the other end, which is a bridge that leads to Serene Tower like a ribbon. I walk on the bridge and look down just like a maze.

Such obstacles, I seem to understand something.

4-3 DEPRESSION ISLAND It prompts us to observe ourselves, reflect on ourselves, and rediscover our inner value, hope and meaning of life.

Sometimes, my mood is very low, as if all energy is restrained. I have no feeling about anything in the world. I am like that 52 Hz whale. Although it has a human body, it seems to be another creature. I came here, sitting in the center of this . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . sphere, . . . . looking . . . .at .the. person . . . .on. the . . opposite . . . . side . . in. silence. . . . .

4-4 ANGER ISLAND Attempt to fix the result or behavior.

Sometimes, I am angry and irritable, like a hedgehog with thorns. I tried my best to increase my energy and then excrete it. You see, that person over there has similar emotions to me!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

4-5 4-6 FEAR ISLAND JOY ISLAND

There is no fear, one is lawless, the other is saint.

Sometimes, I also feel fear. When I was young, I was afraid of the real things, and when I grew up, I was afraid of the invisible things. In this huge, dark, closed and empty space, fear is generated and amplified by inner fear, and fear varies from person to person.

Joy is the reward and repayment system for the survival of life.

Of course, sometimes I am also very happy, running around like blowing bubbles when I was a child, so lively and so vivid.

6 Finally, I took the elevator from Serene Tower to the water, and it seemed that my mood became more stable and controllable. I can also face the world and others more calmly.

Everyone seems to be like this, so the atmosphere in Underwater Sharing Paradise is always so relaxed,and couldn't be happier.

Individual Project. | summer 2021.

I want to feel like I'm traveling through space.

I am a student, the Library of BJTU is boring, I want to enter it as if into the nature of the forest.

I live nearby. I often come to the school to take a walk and read the newspaper.

I work in the restaurant downstairs and have a lot of free time. But there was no place for me.

Internal Situation

I'd like to have a place where we can do seminars.

I wish it had a paradise, heh heh

Follow the inlaid light belt on the ground...

You will see a jungle, forest grass, water, stones, see someone in the forest shuttle, high and low, like flying.

Small entrance, is layer upon layer of towering bookshelves, interspersed with small doorway like a maze. There are also gaps in the bookshelves that look like caves, in which people lie and meditate and read.

Stroll through it, gently sloping, verandah winding, as transparent as possible with low green bookshelves on both sides of the walk, and soon, there is a fork that leads to a hill or what looks like a stone, into a short rest.

After that, there is a cafe, where some people have a rest and some study.

Then forward, slowly downhill, suddenly found that you have in the pass to the other side, a towering bookshelves cross-sectional.

Finally, it is a space divided into upper and lower areas by compartments.

The upper layer is empty, which is a good place for relaxation, while the lower layer is slightly hidden, which is a good place for self-study.

Follow me! It is an immersive plant feast that you can enjoy, where you can imagine yourself as part of the plant.

STATEMENT In an increasingly urbanized world, our eyes, our noses, our ears and our hands are surrounded and disturbed by the reinforced concrete walls, and the noise of the city, which prevent us from getting close to plants.

Street vendor Resident Tourist An exploration in Hutong Individual Project | summer 2021 ------------------------------------------------------------------

As social advance and our behaviours change the need to re-imagine the hutongs become imperative.

I choose Nanluoguxiang community as the research object. Further explore the problems and needs of the major populations in the region. And the influence of the heat of Nanluoguxiang scenic spot. The conflict between space crowding and behavior interference among the three kinds of people in the community should be alleviated. In the end, I hope to establish a new type of activity venue to promote the communication and interaction of the three groups of "residents", "vendors" and "tourists".

Beijing-Hutong

South Gong and Drum Lane community

is located within the second ring road of Beijing. In order to protect cultural heritage, a large number of demolitions are not allowed here.There are many celebrities and religious buildings with historical and cultural relics in Nanluoguxiang.

The most distinctive feature is the unique block layout. Its architecture is based on the main street, and 8 parallel alleys are symmetrically distributed on both sides, which are fishbone. It is distributed like a centipede, looking down from the sky, so it is also called "centipede street."

South Gong and Drum Lane main street

(NanluoguXiang) is an old lane renowned for its long history, Hutong culture. It is 768 meters (2,519 feet) long and 8 meters (26 feet) wide. Its north end joins Gulou Dong Dajie, and the south end is connected to Di'anmen Dong Dajie.

There are eight parallel hutongs on each side of the old alley.

A surprising phenomenon

---There is no private toilet in the courtyard house in the hutong.

They need to go out to the public toilet. And they poured chamber pots every morning.

Therefore, public toilets are widely scattered in the hutong.

The use of public toilets is also beneficial. It increases the chances of meeting between residents. It is a social place in disguise. In the early days, people communicated while shit. It is one of the hutong cultures.

Therefore, I adopted the distribution method of public toilets and integrated it into this design.

On this basis, explore the culture of hutong.

Strategy Urban Acupuncture

Street vendor

East-West--Ordinary Hutong

In the Song Dynasty, the market system was completely broken, and shops and stalls were scattered everywhere, and there was no time limit, which made the economy of the vendors in the Song Dynasty unprecedentedly prosperous.

Later, all the daily needs of urban residents can basically be solved by vendors. According to statistics, in the late Qing Dynasty, street vendors in Beijing were able to find at least 300 items of goods, including everything for eating, drinking and playing.

In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, in the streets and alleys of Beijing’s hutongs, there were mobile vendors and fixed vendors everywhere, and their shouts floated in the air. Their existence is a warm memory of the old Beijing Hutong.

The reform and opening up in 1978 encouraged individual economy, and the vendor economy reached a boom.

From 1996 to 2002, urban management became more strict and sophisticated, and the policy banned the existence of vendors.

In 2020, there are no vendors in Beijing Hutongs.

Interview

The Central Academy Of Drama

Main population: Local residents（mainly elderly, children and tenants）＆ Tourists Tourists:

Local resident A: Sometimes during peak periods, the daily flow of this main road reaches more than 100,000 per day, and all kinds of people can be seen every day.

There is no quiet place for local residents to use.

Street vendor :

Beijing Hutong has become more and more commercialized, and it is difficult for us to truly understand the local culture and customs.

Yes, the government does not allow random stalls on the streets.

Site status analysis

Local children: Alas, we have no place to play with friends after school.

Local resident B: Alas, they consider the overall situation, so now I have a long way to go shopping for vegetables.

Dahuang(this dog): No

place for people to stay, let alone dogs.

Vision By connecting different functional points in series, their service radius covers the whole community, and finally an urban framework can be woven to activate the system of Nanluoguxiang.

This exploration and design are dedicated to increase the relationships between residents, vendors and tourists. I hope to create a place for people to greet and care for each other through a connection method.

Finally, I hope that in my career in the future, I can pay more attention to the problems that are easily overlooked but urgently needed in our life. Even though the world is in a hurry, there is still a tiny me responding to those tiny calls.
