The relationship between public city space and residential space is complementary as that of Delaunay triangle and Voronoi According to Thousand-person index, there are 72 communities in the vertical city, one community as a voronoi circle, the diameter ranges from 60m to 120m, the width of the circle is 24m (8m of residential on both side, 8 meter for transportation in the middle) and the center of each voronoi moves 35m down to generate the Delaunay triangle as the public city space, thus making serving and served space complementary.

Void Solid —— a design approach to enhance the void’s importance equal to the solid. Three-dimensions and high-density of the collective houses make the void no longer a scattered, unorganized space, but an important part with its own integrity and organizational framework. The greatest feature of the void is its mediality. It can not only pass light, wind, rain water and other natural substances, but can also deliver sensory information such as sight, sound and smell. For people living in the collective house, the solid can meet basic life needs, and the void can improve quality of life.

The site is at The end of Shanghai Changjiang Bridge of Chongming Island. On a noisy, air- polluted area, the design leaves the good earth for the island aborigines.There are 6 main entrances for the residential, with 2 main entrances in each courtyard on the ground. A circle of high way round the residential connecting the city road, one on the east, another on the west and a fork junction on the north from the Changjiang Bridge shown the most logistics of the residential enterance and form the northern part of the main connector to the city.

Structural strategy response to unstable surface load bearing layer of ‘the sand island’ Chongming Island is the world's largest sand island, formed in 1300 years ago and changing constantly in topography till now. The shallow soil form lately, bearing large pores and high moisture content. So surface load bearing capacity is weak, vulnerable to the overall occurrence of land subsidence or collapse of buildings. Thus, we adopted a strategy: quality replacement method- replace the original base of the sand by the same quality of buildings to reduce damage to the load bearing layer caused by load change; at the same time, build a lump of reinforced layer structure to connect the up-ground and under-ground Buildings, acting as a mat foundation. The strategy reflects an inter-functional relation between the solid and the void.

Railway system becomes more important in city life, the stations play a role of its terminal. people evacuate from stations to city, go into the city through stations. In this view, railway stations are the enterances of the city. The site is an old station of 3# light rail, located arround by many residansial blocks and a school, making it a busy station from morning to night. A high way east to the station also add noise to the site, the river of west blocks people going though. However, the river, on the other hand, providing a place for entertaining.

Complexity interaction between human activity and nature power forms the shape of our city, and it requires architecture to present its evolutional form to activate the city atmosphere, which can beyond the tradition style and boundary line of land. To re-organize the station, the lively commercial space should be put aside not to entwine with transportation streamline. In addition, the station needs more entrances to decompose the congestion of the station. Eight entrances provide eight clearly options for people to access to the station in different levels. However, tradition stations only have two entrances at the top floor.

Three main squares at the site buffer the peak congestion in the morning and at evening, and they also provide as leisure parks for people during the daytime.The percentage of public area in the station is about 38%. And the commercial service is 21%.In fact, by our research, the station actrually need little commercial service as the growing up of shopping online. And there is a trend to change a commercial shop to an entertainment space.

MOUNTAIN CLUB 4.0

The trianglar floorslab can be stacked to create many interesting spaces, there are covering, intersecting, composition,expansion,continuation by topology. and that can be even reproduced repeatedly. For people escaping from city lives, the building provides special spaces on the mountain, offering people a new experience with natural environment. The most special feature of the stacked triangles is the stagger terraces. It is what I called "between space", the shap-edged angles poking out of building form many terraces where people are surrounded by natural enviroment with fresh air and sunshine. People camp here to enjoy living outside city.

the location of the site allows people to choose whether on mountain or beach to do the activities in an equal access.

the hight of the site can have a view both to the mountain and the seabeach.

facing south to enjoy the sunshine and wet air from sea, mountain peak on the north stops the cold wind from the north.

New York City is experiencing a new era of high-rise constructions, with skyscrapers booming in recent years, and a 300 meter tall tower is currently under construction on the site. This project is located on 157 west 57th Street, between 6th and 7th avenue, in Manhattan, New York City. The aim of the project is to create an architectural form based on the relationship between architectural boundary and its environment. The Multi-Facade Skyscraper provide a new possibility of relationship of spaces in the high-rise. The interactive spaces between inner and outer rich our living space in high rise with freedom to touch the fresh air, sun and rain. We are not captured or limited by the shell of architectural boundary.

Marching cubes is a computer graphics algorithm, published in the 1987 SIGGRAPH proceedings by Lorensen and Cline,for extracting a polygonal mesh of an isosurface from a three-dimensional discrete scalar field (sometimes called voxels).

Bird View From West

The site is located in the center of high-dense city fabric. We hope to activate the city by providing large scale gathering spaces and fast through biking spaces. It functions as a cultural center for Antalya by combining two popular public activities, which are cinema and biking. The slop here plays an important role in integrate spaces. From smooth to steep, the program changes accordingly from landscape to X-biking lanes. With huge amount of plants in the site, we also advocate to using natural adaptive building materials by rammed local stone. So that this place can live not only humans but also other natural lives, making this places much rich in space creating.

7.0 Project Status: Completed in 2012 Working Position: Assistant Architect My work: Drawing Elavation, Section, Roof Plan. Optimize structual details and roof design in computer.

Project Description: This project cost most of my energy when I was working in TJAD. TJAD had win this project for planning the new Campus for Luoyang Normal University. It started the architectural design when I enter TJAD, our mission was to construct these building within 2 years. I learned a lot of construction knowledge and drawing for the first two months. After that, under the guidance of chief architect, I finished this project independently. Now, it is using by the school, the last time I went there, students told me they like these buildings, I feel so proud and moving for what I did.
