LINES AND JOINTS Politecnico di Milano Architecture campus extension project, Milan, MI, Italy
Architecture campus extension project of Politecnico di Milano This project concerns the site of the architecture campus, taking into account the existing buildings of the school and of the public swimming pool "Piscina comunale Ponzio". Because the merge of two architecture school, the university environment is facing new challenges from both the increasing demand of didactic space, as well as the quality of subsidiary spaces and services. Site condition The campus in Milan città studi is the main architecture campus of Politecnico di Milano. The whole site is one floor beneath ground level, next to the public swimming pool but separated with a 260-meter-long wall. The architecture campus and the engineering campus are divided by traffic and connected with an underpass.
Concept sketch
1. The first point To emphasize the connection from the target campus to the pool area and to engineering campus.
Design concept Based on user and space research, the most significant problems we are facing is lacking of common study space and the difference in height. So the core design idea is to provide diverse space for studying and to improve the accessibility for better communication with surroundings. The concept is carried out by four sub-projects: the ramp building in south, the auditorium in west, the lab center in east and the central building.
2. The second point To provide more interaction with the city, in order to create a welcoming and open campus.

KEY TO CARE Nursing house extension project, Vignola, MO, Italy
Nursing house extension project
Towards other cities
Project vignola is a studio project organized by Politecnico di Milano and Comune Vignola, Modena, Italy. The project aims to rethink about the space of the existing nursing house for the elders and also to meet new funtional requirements. Site condition The current nursing house is located in the east of town vignola. Next to the main road connecting Vignola with Modena also other cities. Areas around the site are mostly residential areas. In the north of the site there are two high school campus. Design concept Nursing house requires the facilities of medical treatment as well as homely treatment, which makes privacy and collective activities are both important in this project. My idea is to bring more vitality to lessen the hospital feeling in the nursing home, meanwhile life of the elders will not be too disturbed by public activities. The building volume is divided into three parts: residential, routine and social oriented, connected with corridors. So as the open space: private patio which is only accessable by the elders and families; northern square open towards the school accessed by mostly students and southern public square open towards city. Instead of double or triple rooms as previous, single rooms will be provided to all elders for privacy demands.

BLURRY EL ROCIO Sanatorium and waterfront reshaping project, El Rocio, AN, Spain
Sanatorium and waterfront reshaping project This project is dealing with urban and territorial aspects of El Rocio. It is a town in southern Spain near DoĂąana national park which is an important wetland reserves in Europe. The aim of this design practice is to retheorize the collision of the public realm and the natural environment, and to provide ideas for this emerging urban space phenomenon. Site condition El Rocio is a countryside next to wetland, connects with other town by only one main road. It is a place strong related with nature meanwhile a religious center of that region. The whole town shows a clear urban developing logic. Typical vernacular housing contains portico, living rooms, atrium, private rooms and backyards, which produce diverse spatial experience.

Design concept After a survey among residents, dissatisfactions are mostly happened in waterfront and healthcare area. So I decide to focus on waterfront reshaping and sanatorium complex project. Spatially I'm inspired by the urban fabric and local housing typology, combining with Kisho Kurokawa's theory about "Grey space" as an ambiguous state inbetween interior and exterior, in order to provide diversity in spatial experience.

The waterfront is reshaped and redesigned based on the urban fabric development. Paths are all paved with planks for solving the mudding problem. Sightseeing deck is set in some low-lying areas to provide better views meanwhile functioning as a buffer for flood. Botanic areas are inspired by color characteristic analysis. In the research, I tried to extract the dominant color elements from certain landscapes. By adding image sample quantity and eliminating extreme data, we may get the color codes of space. It is applied in the landscape design of the botanic garden, hoping to recall people’s feeling of different natural landscapes.

ESPARTO Spain pavilion proposal of 2015 Milan Expo, Milan, MI, Italy
Spain pavilion proposal of 2015 Milan Expo
Reference
Esparto project is a design proposal of Spanish pavilion under the background of 2015 Milan Expo. The theme of 2015 Expo is "Feeding the planet, energy for life", as required by temporary pavilion design principle, project has to be eco-friendly and easy to install and demolish. Getting inspiration from the geographical landscape and the traditional weaving craftmanship in Spain, I chose Esparto grass as core element of the design. Esparto grass is a type of plant commonly seen in southern Spain that grows even in barren land. Most craft tools and artifacts in the southern Spanish countryside for farming and livestock were made with esparto, such as ropes, nets and containers. Panels made by woven esparto ropes are used on roof for shading. External facades are covered with kinetic components made by esparto ropes which allows both shading and natural ventilation. After exposed under sunlight for long time, esparto ropes will be gradually dried up and turning from green to brown yellow, that changes the color of facade during the exposition period. Outdoor landscape reproduces the view of desert region. Woven esparto nets lead visitors entering the pavilion from the main decumano axis.

The main structure of the pavilion is made by glued laminated beams. The lightness of wooden structure allows wider span which realizes continuous interior space. Facilities and space are set at the ground floor under the main exhibition area which meets the requirement of necessary exhibitional and functional area. Envelope of the pavilion is composed by two parts: internal layer of polycarbonate panels for impermeability and external layer of esparto components for shading. Polycarbonate is a kind of recyclable material which could be ideal in temporary pavilion construction for its lightness and better strength performance than normal glass. Kinetic components are applied in the facade of the pavilion. Each component is 80cm wide and linked the top and bottom shafts with esparto grass. It is able to open by rotating the bottom shaft, as well as to close up for shading under strong sunlight.

UNFOLD 2015 Milan design week workshop, Milan, MI, Italy
Unfold workshop for 2015 Milan design week exhibition Folding constitutes a spatial composition that generates differentiation by maintaining a continuity. By exploring spatial qualities and material organizations they investigate the type of fold, its structural stiffness and its ability to enable deployment. Through unfolding the spatial, structural and organizational behavior of folding, we achieve a differentiation of pattern and type in order to derive to a multiplicity of forms. In this workshop, we studied the folding logics, exploring spatial spiral folded geometries, then tried to reactivate the exhibition space with installation design. The form of folding geometry is basically controlled by the shape of the folding units and the relationship between mountain and valley folds. The angle of spiral decides the twisting degree, the ratio of two edges decides the shape, while the direction of mountain and valley folds together decide the spiral trend. Based on these folding logics, I tried to create a shape twisting by its internal folding force, closing up then open again naturally. I used physical for form looking, after that digital analysis are done for simulating mechanic properties under gravity, also for preparing accurate composition units. Design development Step 1: Set up regular grid and subdivision. Step 2: Different spacing of the rows. Step 3: Tilting the external lines. Step 4: Adding two short columns on top. Step 5: Enlarging the pattern and flipping diagonal lines. Step 6: Define final pattern. Elements: 124 faces Total area: 5.66 m2 Height (folding under gravity): 3.2m Step 1

LOST AND FOUND Social housing rivitalization - Reforming Milan workshop, Milan, MI, Italy
Social housing rivitalization - Reforming Milan workshop The social housing project in Corso XXII Marzo no.23 (20 minutes walking from the central cathedral) was commissioned in 1982 and works started in 1984. Giving up visibility from the outside, the old facades are kept in its design to maintain its complex look based on the urban plan of 1884. At first the project group had to focus on residences. Architects were asked to get out of the block about 140 apartments, a space where old people could gather. After 30 years, now there're problems rising in this urban block due to its complexity in habitants and the administration. For instance lack of maintenance and feeling of insecurity, etc. In this 'Reforming Milan' project, 5 interventions are designed in different parts of the building in order to raising the living quality in the urban block. Design concept My project area is in the open space of the center for atmosphere creating. I don’t take the site as a place lack of design, on the contrary, it is a well-designed place left abandoned. So conspicuous installation may become a motivation for gathering in central open space. Also it will be easy to install, to maintain and even to disassemble. Inspired by laundries ropes hanging outside of the balcony, I connect the east and west wings of the building with bright yellow nylon ropes, creating a giant floating net installation between the 2nd and 4th floor above the central open space. This floating “cloud” also gives lighting for the open space where people can have collective activities. Nylon ropes can resist for years even under strong sun-ray in Italy. Also it’s cheap and easy to change when it’s aging. In the corridors, partitions made by the same yellow nylon ropes are set between every apartment. These rope fences will not block the space and the view, they’re also easy to be disassembled to create a gathering space for communication with neighborhoods. Leaving the dwellers flexibility to choose between privacy and collective activities.
