Hostel Design
This is a group project. Our design seeks to minimally intrusive to the existing building structure and blend into the neighborhood. Our project is a traditional chinese courtyard house, located near Forbidden City in Beijing. Due to its unique location and architecture, we don’t want to be intrusive to the existing structure, instead, we’re trying to blend into neighborhood through integrated additions to the existing structure.

SOUND SPATIALITY Sound as prosthesis extends human’s cognition of space. Sound reverberation, loudness, and directionality directly affect our awareness of surrouding environment. The distant sound is the extension of space, where we are able to perceive space before physically approach to it. The project provides the user an immersive multi-sensory experience to travel in hallway to awaken our awareness of sound, also the interiors are built based on the acoustic functionalities associated with different uses of room and is being suggestively built in a school settings based on different instrumental characters to stimute kids’ interests to the sound and music in another dimension to inspire educational mean. (A song might be composed of soft intro, rhythmic chorus and unexpected transition. The building is structured with an kinetic sculpture that is synced with music as invitation entrance, dynamic passage and an unexpected ending space.)
