SITE BACKGROUND

DESIGN STRATEGY

Warehouse history was blocked, each building independent.

The venue can not attract tourists to go, tourists often go straight down from the viaduct.

Open four rows of warehouses to release history and attract tourists and residents.

4

The site is located in Jingan District, Shanghai. There has some old residential buildings and a historic site, but not far from all the high-rise buildings.

Rapid development of the city, bringing the convenience of transportation in the city, but also isolated the old city and the new city.

People flow lines converge, the history of tourist venues to attract, through the route design, to residential areas, and residents have an interaction.

PICTORIAL MUSEUM

PLAZA LANDSCAPE

The first floor of the warehouse is completely opened. As a museum of war, the materials of the glass allow the past people to see the scene clearly and attractively. Whether painting or photos, can make people feel the shock of history, when the words can not unable to express feelings, can not record the memory, the only thing we can do is draw down, with a brush instead of words.

When we see the historical relics, we will want to watch it at a close distance and watch the historical traces left by it. Plaza landscape in accordance with the form of modules to make a simple design to satisfy the needs of people's activities.

Elevated platform allows people to watch the Sihang warehouse memorial wall nearly. You will find the impression is not the same when you stand at different heights, different distances on the platform to watch it.

VISITOR'S FLOW LINE IN BEI SHICHANG NEIGHBORHOOD Through a supposed spatial experience, visitors can participate in the residents of the vegetable experience, to hear the story what happened here, with children have a childlike interaction, can really feel there is a live museum. Everything here is dynamic, is a sound to talk with people.

SOUND OF TIME

Even in settlements, now part of the overall design, space is further refined into past, present, and future. Visitors and the elderly, young people, children's interaction because of the order of functional space formed a time line. Here, you can clearly feel the different ages of people, the existence of time becomes more obvious, you can hear the voice of time.

PRESENT The circular center space, which can be used as a secondary market in everyday life, allows residents to come up with unused items at home to exchange or sell their belongings, and visitors can also participate.

If the tourists are lucky, there will be some theatrical performances from time to time, such as comic dialogues, operas and essays. The main content of the show is the historical story of Shanghai and the current story, to those who come and listen to.

FUTURE

HISTORY

Triangular design, non-directional to meet the children's activities for them to run freely in the venues, mobile wall with interactive devices, when the hand strokes on the wall, there will be a picture.

We plan a square space dedicated to urban agriculture, on the one hand to meet the residents' planting needs, on the other hand visitors can also experience the fun of picking vegetables here.

MINE WATER PURIFICATION AND ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION

Huzhou City

The site is located in Suzhou Xishan Island Yuanshan village mine.

Because of the artificial planting and mining, the terrain changed, the ecology of the site was severely damaged, and the number of plants and animals decreased. With the accumulation of rainwater in the pit, pit lake formation.

Based on site topography, in this design, we design a recycling water purification route,according to the route of ecological restoration, and landscape node design. How to contact landscape design terrain, and people's activity space has been described in the design.

PURIFICATION BED Landscape design attaches great importance to people walking experience, so you need to design to experience the diversity of feeling.

Water flows through sedimentation ponds and waterfalls and flows back to mine lakes through some of the most important wetlands of the site.

People can take pictures, fly kites and relax in the wetlands. The feeling of human experience from the curiosity of the entrance to the sedimentation tank tension, to the waterfall next to the excitement, and final ly to relax here.

SITE INFORMATION Xinjiang's exotic, mysterious desert, all the time does not attract tourists to go. From autumn to the second spring, the time between the end of October and the middle of November of each year is about 20 days. It is the golden season of the Taklamakan Desert. There are fewer mosquitoes at this time, and the dry riverbed becomes the driving avenue. Many attractions in the desert come together to form a road travel routes in the tourist season, not far from where you can see a lot of ALICE figure. As can be seen from the entire desert map, the tower as a center of all the attractions around, traffic conditions are also very convenient, on the side of the desert highway. As a rare oasis in the desert, he has a different style from the oasis of nature. As my hometown, I went to the venue in the summer of 16 years. Along the way, Populus euphratica is the endless desert. Arrived at the venue, I saw so many plants, I feel very shocking, but the venue is too monotonous area, there is no ornamental.

VISITORS

The tour range and tour time are more fixed the same, visitors are mainly tour pals, may need a place to get a rest and avoid the sandstorm.

CONCEPT GENERATION

The basic plants in the site are already available and the water source can also provide long-term water supply. Based on this, I proposed a new connection designed by combining the activities of three kinds of people with the core of ecology and water and named New Connection-3. Ecology, Water and People. Visitors, researchers and workers. When the combination of the three elements, the design becomes more simple. To meet the needs of different people, the overall design will be ecological and water series, which gradually formed my entire design idea. In addition to continuing to provide provenance for species diversity of desert highway shelterbelt ecological projects and ensuring the sustainable and long-term stability of desert highway shelterbelt ecosystems, they also want to provide people in the hinterland of the desert with a comfortable place to relax and add a tourist attraction. People who also hope to see these scenarios can be shocked by the efforts of the people here in the desert oasis.

RESEARCHERS

From 2000 till now, researchers from Institute of Botany have selected highly ornamental desert ornamental plants by introduction and provided rich ornamental plants for the greening and beautification of desert oil field production and living bases. In daily life, mainly stay in the Institute.

STAFFS

Long-term oil field work, the surrounding environment is very low comfort, have adversely affected the physical and mental health of workers. Daily life is simple, there are gymnasium for them to use.

Superposition of area

Slight subarea

The main route

Superposition of the activities of the region, select the overlapping part of the design of the key areas, all three overlap part of the design center.

In accordance with the first step of the regional outline, draw a rough design of the block, the block classification.

According to the second step of modeling, the design of the main road line, and the streamline interspersed into the overall scope of the venue, the water needs to go through the design of important areas.

The morphological change of green

The last step, in the form of different curves to plan each functional partition. The overall coordination and unification, but the details there is a different change, so that the partition on the green is still evident.

37

DESIGN ANALYSIS

Decompose the site inside, more intuitive to see the entire site design.

A.ENTRANCE LANDSCAPE

Sculptures decorated with existing plants make the entrance of the venue more fun and exotic.

B.STONE SENTINEL

A lot of local stories are recorded here, recorded in different ethnic languages and ​​ carved in stone. Visitors here can also write interesting stories that take place on the way.

C.FOUNTAIN

Here mainly for the researchers, oil field staffs rest, only a trail near the water, not far from the wells, people can feel the cool and comfortable here.

DRY STREAM DROUGHT SEASON

Except for some large areas of shallow water area, the water area is dry stream.

First prime soil compaction, then gravel cushion, then concrete, and finally put the most natural stone on the top. In the dry season, showing the natural landscape of the original stone. People can walk on stones and children can play here.

DRY STREAM RAINY SEASON

When there is water in the dry stream, besides the water and water features, the remaining water will be collected by the water pipe under the stone layer to the hidden pipe beside it for collection and use to water shortage places.

41

As the center of the water area, in addition to a special stone array design, the plant design is also very hierarchical, the site of existing plants, to create a level of flowers, the plants clear season, at different times to enjoy To different scenery.

PHOTOGRAH AND HAND DRAWING

SEVEN

Modern society is a pluralistic society. Our society is constantly improving we are constantly inventing more and more advanced technologies and possessing more and more abundant materials.

However, our spirit is getting more and more tense and more and more empty. More and more indifferent to the appearance of people in life, what happened, we unwittingly toward the closed.

During my college years, I have been to many cities and have seen many landscapes. Whether it is climbing the mountain, go to the place of 4800 meters above sea level. Or climb the tall buildings, 40-storey building waiting for the sunrise and the evening. Or squat in a strange art gallery for a friend to take pictures, sitting on a hillside waiting for a bonfire party. All the experience makes me feel very excited, it is a feeling of departure to carry bags. Just as I often say with friends, no matter where, as long as we are on the road, where you can find the scenery.

In the context of the rapid development of the city, Lujiazui as Shanghai's financial center, all kinds of people gathered here, mixed. High-intensity work creates a lot of negative emotions in the depths of the heart, giving rise to some evil deeds. Therefore, we recall seven sins.

The film's director discovers this closedness and many negative emotions that people appear in real life. Through this film, he warns the world that human nature is evil and we are all guilty. When the movie was over, William said "the world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.I agree with the second part." In my opinion, I also hope that when people accept the idea that we are all guilty,see those naked sins, can make the right decision, the right choice.

We have designed seven cocoones as the release points for different evils. The order of guilt depends on the sequence of the cases in the movie.The idea of ​​binge eating, greed, laziness, lust, arrogance, jealousy, anger and cocoon comes from soft and life-giving Significance, we want to represent the people in which to feel safe, relaxed, and thus completely release themselves. Out of satire and warning of the world, the entire cocoon shape,was erected in the central green land of Lujiazui, people are free to walk up from the ground, or from the high-rise buildings on the platform came.

The events that occur within the cocoon are projected directly into the advertising screens of the surrounding skyscrapers, making it visible to those who come and go. When people see their own inner desires are done through others and projected out, what will be the effect, whether it can be found that they are sinful, and what choices should be made. At this moment, you in real life will get the deepest conversation with yourself.
