REEFRESCUE HUB Synergizing Coral Bleaching Mitigation, Conservation, and Immersive Human Exploration Type: Individual work Duration: 10/2023-11/2023 Site: Florida keys, U.S.
Sustainable design on issues related to my major in environmental science Amidst the ongoing surge in ocean temperatures across the Florida Keys in recent months—reaching unprecedented highs—an urgent response has been initiated to combat coral bleaching. Presenting a comprehensive landscape installation that seamlessly integrates coral bleaching mitigation, a coral museum, and a versatile diving site. This multifunctional project not only tackles the environmental challenges posed by escalating sea temperatures but also endeavors to establish an immersive and educational haven that intertwines conservation with recreational experiences.
LOCATION
CORAL REEF BLEACHING ALERT AREA (May/2023-Sep/2023) In recent months, the waters of Florida have resembled a massive "hot tub" with temperatures frequently exceeding 32 degrees Celsius.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's coral reef monitoring stations have designated the southern coast of Florida as a "Level 1 Alert" area.
Florida’s Coral Reef is among t h e S u n s h i n e S t a t e’s m o s t remarkable and distinguishing features. It extends 350 miles, from the remote Dry Tortugas, along the Florida Keys to its northern terminus near the St. Lucie Inlet on the mainland. The diversity and abundance of marine life in this region is a national treasure unequalled in the Continental United States.
FLOURISHING TOURISM IN FLORIDA KEYS Beyond its biological values, the living reef is an engine of prosperity, creating billions of dollars in tourism and fishing-related economic activity each year. The Florida Keys is a renowned tourist destination in the United States that has experienced a steady increase in visitor numbers over the years. Tourists from around the world are drawn to the islands' natural beauty, pristine beaches, and unique marine ecosystem, which includes the captivating coral reefs.
RISING MARINE TEMPERATURE Heat content in the global ocean has been consistently above-average (red bars) since the mid-1990s. More than 90 percent of the excess heat trapped in the Earth system due to humancaused global warming has been absorbed by the oceans.
PASSENGERS' TOP ACTIVITIES The coral reef waters of the Florida Keys offer a wealth of water sports and recreational activities. Snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding are popular leisure activities, with 23% of visitors being able to admire the coral reefs up close. However, there are still many tourists who are unable to witness the underwater scenery.
RECENT SURGE Since the late 1970s, the coral coverage of the Florida Reef Tract has declined by 90%.Once t he se awat e r temperature exceeds around 30 degrees Celsius, corals undergo bleaching.
CURRENT CORAL BLEACHING MITIGATION METHODS Artificial treatment of coral reefs First, removing nuisance and invasive species which compete with corals for space on the reef and prevent coral larvae from settling and growing.

Probiotics are somehow helping the coral immune response against some of the opportunistic pathogens — the bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa that bring infectious diseases to corals. The probiotics also can mitigate oxidative stress — when there is an imbalance in the number of harmful, unstable, oxygen-containing molecules produced by heat-stressed algae.

Throughout the entire restoration effort, a workforce of professional and volunteer divers will remove marine debris, nuisance species, and species that might compete for space, and also reattach any corals that have been damaged or disconnected.
Installing an OTEC system above the reef cools the reef by spraying cooling water into the seawater to help lower the temperature of the surrounding seawater.

While scuba diving in the ocean, diving below 18 meters is considered deep diving, requiring a dedicated deep diving pool that goes straight to the seabed. During ascent, if the diving depth is below 60 feet/18 meters, you need to safely stop for three minutes at 19 feet/6 meters.The reason this was introduced is to give your body more time to release the absorbed nitrogen before returning to the surface.

FORM DESIGN PROCESS
Concept Extraction and Evolution The overall design aims to transform the building into a living organism that becomes an integral part of the ecosystem after fulfilling its functions. Drawing inspiration from the natural form of coral prototypes, the design involves the extraction and splitting of curved elements, resembling the structure of mitochondrial cristae. The curved form increases the surface area of the inner mitochondrial membrane, facilitating faster oxygen-consuming chemical reactions during respiration. This concept led to the idea of utilizing a similar form to enhance the panoramic view of underwater coral for visitors, providing a more immersive experience. V=0.5

Revitalising Fengtai Water Sports Center Type: Individual work Duration: 05/2023-08/2023 Site: Beijing, China
A More Complicated Design Practice The prevailing issues within the current swimming facility, frequented by myself, encompass aging infrastructure, functional limitations, and the closure of the outdoor water play area due to prolonged low temperatures in Beijing, leading to deterioration. The strategic vision for this project entails a comprehensive revitalization of this pivotal locale, transforming it into a dynamic aquatic center with expanded sports and leisure functionalities. The primary objective is to elevate the overall swimming and sports experience for the adjacent residents.

2001 Fengtai Swimming Pool is located in the northeast of Fengtai Sports Center. Covering 0.9 hectares, construction area of 5283 square meters. In 2001, in cooperation with Tinkuang Sports Development Co., Ltd., we invested 10 million yuan to convert the swimming pool into a swimming pool.
1989
After analyzing the user demographics, it has become evident that the replacement of outdated facilities is essential. Additionally, there is a need to reactivate the outdoor splash pool and create new spaces for a sauna room, hot spring pool, and a relaxation lounge.
The baseball and softball field in Fengtai Gymnasium is the designated the 2006 World Women 's Softball Championship.
Adults
2003 In 2003, as a reserve and training ground for the 13th Asian Cup football match, the municipal and district governments carried out an overall renovation of the stadium.
In 1990, the stadium undertook many large-scale events, such as the 11th Asian Games football match, the 7th National Games football match, and the 9th, 10th and 11th Beijing Games.
2008
2009-2022
The baseball and softball stadium in Fengtai Stadium was also designated for the 2008 Beijing Olympic softball game.
In 2009, Beijing Fengtai Swimming Pool was officially opened to the public, becoming one of the important sports facilities in Fengtai District. It has a standard pool layout : two 25m × 50m 8 pools, shallow water depth of 1.1m-1.2m ; the depth of deep water is 1.8m-2.2m.

My home is close to here. After 1990,the stadium was used less. On the contrary, the swimming pool was hot, and many people went there to swim and exercise. It would be nice if there were more hot spring saunas to relax. Go relax your body after swimming, how comfortable it is!

With the increasing enthusiasm for sports among Beijing residents, various sports facilities in terms of functionality and facilities have ex p er i en c ed a s i t u at ion where demand exceeds supply. Beijing Fengtai Swimming Pool is an important sports facility located in Fengtai District, Beijing. It can be said that it bears the responsibility of meeting the swimming needs of residents within a 5km radius. It was officially opened to the public in 2009, providing a good environment for sports exercise and entertainment for the local residents and swimming enthusiasts. Over time, the swimming pool has encountered issues such as wear a n d t e a r, a g i n g e q u i p m e n t , o r insufficient functionality. In order to update and improve the facilities and features of the swimming pool to meet contemporary sports demands, a renovation is being carried out.
After I retired, I often come here to swim. The swimming pool has complete facilities and can meet the needs. The only problem is that it is a bit too old and has a single function. It would be better if there are some places to relax after exercise.

EXSITING CONDITIONS Abandoned building
Bus parking lot
Beijing Bus Passenger Transport Station
Behind the swimming pool, there is an abandoned building, and next to it is the Fengtai bus station in Beijing, where many buses are parked. Considering the limited size of the original site, I intend to demolish the abandoned building and merge its footprint with the swimming pool. Additionally, the bus station will be relocated to a space 6m below ground level, adjacent to the swimming pool.

SUMMER SCENE
WINTER SCENE
During the summer months, this adaptable space becomes a haven for aquatic enthusiasts. People revel in the joys of swimming, partake in thrilling water sports, and bask in the warmth of the sun by the inviting swimming pool.The courtyard-style spatial design not only enhances the enjoyment of outdoor swimming but also ensures a high level of privacy, minimizing disruptions from surrounding roads. This thoughtful design allows people to fully immerse themselves in the experience, creating a tranquil oasis amid the seasonal activities
As the temperature drops and winter arrives, the same space transforms into an ice rink and a snow-covered playground. Furthermore, year-round indoor facilities such as swimming pools, hot springs, and saunas are available for relaxation and entertainment. This showcases the potential of this design to adapt to the ever-changing seasons with sustainable and versatile spaces.

What impresses me is the narrative in his space, that is, the rhythm of space is very rich. Baragan said : ' Spatial narrative is like architectural stripper dance. ' Special image, in his home space is a layer of sequence unfolded state.
St. Christbo ' s stable and villa in Mexico City is one of the most well-known works in the mature period of Baragan. Whether the stables and troughs under the coloured wall point to the memories of childhood farm life, or religious metaphors such as pools, trees, barn openings and names of buildings, they together shape it into a spiritual quiet place.
The house's carefully arranged interior spaces create a harmonious flow, while the integration of natural elements and strategic placement of windows and skylights enhance the play of light and shadow.

Barragan's architectural style is concise and abstract, with geometric features reminiscent of modern European paintings like Mondrian's works. His distinctive use of colorful walls in Mexican design adds warmth to the simple geometric structures, shaping spaces with vibrant hues. Barragan often incorporates natural dyes, such as smart Mexican color dyes made from pollen and snail powder, which are commonly found in the Mexican market. These dyes, derived from Mexico's national flowers, bring an authentic touch to his works.

Abstraction of Barragan's Spatial Design Methodology
Barragan's designs feature a deep extension of vision, creating a sense of endless exploration. The horizontal depth is extended outward, offering a feeling of openness. In addition, he incorporates small openings in the walls, creating focal points that add depth to the local sight.
Barragan expands vision in spacious areas with strategic wall openings, enhancing depth and visual interest. By guiding the viewer's gaze through these openings, he creates a professional and visually enriching experience.
Barragan's designs employ straight lines of sight that cleverly incorporate a subtle twist, thus enhancing the overall sense of space. This technique adds a professional touch to his work, creating a visually captivating experience that engages the viewer and adds depth to the architectural composition.
Barragan's designs often incorporate a gray space, consisting of three walls and one open side. This open area allows natural light to enter and creates a tranquil atmosphere. composition.

Details modification
After creating the model in Rhino software, I proceeded to make a physical model at a scale of 1:100. Using white cardboard material, I carefully divided the walls, measured and cut the cardboard according to the dimensions. Then, I assembled the adjacent walls by pasting them together, arranging and securing the overall structure until the completion of the model.
Firstly, establish the entrance after delineating the range. Secondly, design the overall spatial distribution and streamline. Based on the previous step, allocate indoor space, transitional space, and outdoor space, enabling spatial transformation within the streamline process. Finally, generate entity blocks and refine the details.

The overall space can be categorized into three types: enclosed interior space, semi-enclosed space, and gray space. The enclosed interior spaces are designed to serve specific purposes and often exhibit a more intimate atmosphere.The semi-enclosed spaces provide a sense of shelter and connection to the surrounding context. Gray spaces facilitate movement and visual connections between different parts of the building, creating a sense of progression and spatial hierarchy.As one moves along the circulation path, the interplay between these different types of spaces creates a sense of anticipation, surprise, and discovery.

3 At different observation points of the model, people ' s line of sight and route are different. The change of the line of sight determines the change of the line of sight to some extent, and the line of sight usually includes the upcoming route and has a guiding effect on the choice of the route. In this model, the specific relationship between the two is cross and dislocation.
