Country Mouse City Mouse: Connected And Separated House With Courtyard
WUSTL Optional Studio / Solo Project Project Type: Residential Year: 2017 Fall Instructor: Patty Heyda This project comes to terms with the realities of the city and its hinterland through an examination of sites along the hypothetical rural-urban 'transect' (St. Louis region) to establish a new working framework for what thse contexts mean and what their relationships are to each other. The project includes two houses designs, one of them locates in the urbanwhile the other in the suburban. Both of the designs are based on the site analyze and population research, they take the courtyard as the key element. However, the courtyard, which could be the connector or separator, plays different rolse in the two houses because of the diversity of context. These two housing designs are going to explain how are living habits today defined by complexities of the site? What are the new Country Mouse, City Mouse narratives and what forms do they take?

Botanical Heights, formerly known as McRee Town, was a neighborhood where crime happened often and vacant parcels widespread. According to the census data from 2010, most of the residents who lived in this neighborhood had low income level, and a large part of them were black single mother. Research shows that they need more flexi ble spaces where they can watch kids while cooking and more shared space where make them feel connected, but also protected. However, the current situation is that most of layouts of the units in the Botanical Heights are made of isolated rooms. The kid do not have a safe place to play after school where adults can watch them while multitasking.

Urban House: This project focuses on creating a new typology of house which could improve the living environment for the low income families, trying to make the new house both safe and connected. By placing a courtyard in the center, the relationship between the four surrounding units will be rebuilt, people who live in the house will have more opportuniti es to communicate with each other and help each other watching kids. In order to reinforce the sense of safety for the single mother, the project has set a sequence of layers on the facade, which allows or shelters different degrees of connection from public street.

Suburban House: Compared to the Botanical Heights, the Creve Coeur is a much richer neighborhood where has a lower population density and safer living environment. People who live in there need a much indend ent space to protect the privacy. The new project takes the same strategy of courtyard as both the connector and separator which applies to the suburban site. Multiple layers are set to provide the different privacy levle in the house. The project also brings the landscape into the house with two spiral lines in order to merge the courtyard with the hous e better.

Architecture is experienced as one roams about in it and walks through it... So true is this that architectural works can be divided into dead and living ones depending on whether the law of 'roaming through' has not been observed or whether on the contrary it has been brilliantly obeyed." (Le Corbusier, 1942)
The "promenade architecturale" - the observer’ s pathway through the built space - is a central element of Le Corbusier' s architectura l and city planning designs. It is the sequence of images that unf olds before the eyes of the observer as he or she gradually advances through the structure.It is the cre ation of a hierarchy among the architectural events, a set of instructions for reading the work - the "internal circulatory system" of architecture. With the help of the "promenade architecturale, Le Corbusier created virtuosic imbrications of indoor and outdoor space, fluid spaces that reveal themselves as the visitor progresses. Architecture constitutes the space of processes of movement. Le Corbusier's idea had a huge impact on Rem Koolhaas, who has spent several years in Russia and developed the promenade system further in his own architectural language. He has connected the space with the movement within the building, which provided the continuous views.

Light Intersection: The Dormitory In South Chicago
WUSTL Core Studio / Solo Project Project Type: Residential Year: 2016 Fall Instructor: Philip Holden This project is a combination of light phenomenon and social issue. The light phenomenon shows two beams of light overlap together and interact with each other. The social issue is about providing an both affordable and comfortable housing for the university students in Chicago. In this project, the public system and private system overlap in two directions separately in order to match the site geography. In this way, the building will merge into the site and be an extended part of a charter school. The student who come from different school will have more opportunities communicating with each other in this building.

Kangba Kalachakra: Teaching Building Group in Kangding College
Huopu International Architectural Competition/ Group Work Project Type: Teaching Building Year: 2015 Fall Instructor: Xiaonan Wang The 2015 Huopu International architectural competition is aimed at creating buildings which are evolutive in mutipul ways. The buildings should consider both geographical condition and traditional local culture at the same time. This project is located in Kangding, Sichuan province, where served as the link between the Tibetan culture and the Han culture. As the fact of the development of the city and the increase of the population, this region is presenting a more and more complicated architecture style. What we are concerning is trying to figure out the equilibrium point of these two cultures.

Summer Preveiling Winds Frequency
generalized area distribution of Tibetan culture
The program is located in Kangding, where the Tibetan region join to the Han area. This specific geographic position brings in the culture confliction and the distinct climate characteristics. Considering that this region is always extremely cold in winter, always with sufficient sunlight and powerful winds, we are more concentrate on the energy saving design as well as the mass study. We hope it could be the building which belongs to the indigene.

The endless Panchang-Knot is one of eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism; meanwhile, it is extremely similar to woven fabric in contour and structure and to the conventional spaces. Such analogues are the source of our inspiration in organizing the space, paths and considering the relations between buildings. In addition, we extract the space imageries from the Mandala, the endless Panchang-Knot and the Kalachakra, thus intend to create some characteristic spatial orders, circulations and expressions of diversity cultures.
