Residential Activity Center

2021 Spring Context:Academic

Tutor:Dan Li

Email:309251404@qq.com

Individual project

Duration:2 mothes

By studying the daily activities and behavior of residents around the site, and combining with the deconstruction of the Colosseum in Rome, modern architecture and classical architecture are deconstructed and integrated, and the residential activity center that conforms to the residents' behavior is reconstructed.

Industrial Residential Boundary

Timeline 19 01 19 35 19 60 19 85

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Xiangtan was only a port city

Site

After that, the wharf activities became more and more frequent, and the status of Xiangtan became more and more important.

During the Cultural Revolution, Xiangtan's heavy industry developed rapidly and the number of laborers increased

After the reform and opening up, heavy industry was gradually abandoned and replaced by modern high-tech industries

20 21

After entering the new era, people's spiritual construction has become the primary goal

Old-new Urban Areas Boundary

Community-University Boundary

The site is located in the old city of Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, China, on the east side of a university. The site is located next to a community park in a neighborhood. The right side of the community is a newly built highend residential area, the north is the urban industrial zone, and the south is the old Xiangtan city. Therefore, it can be seen that there are actually no large parks near the community for residents to have leisure and entertainment.

Deconstruction

The Colosseum is re-deconstructed, divided into different blocks and facing different spaces, forming different spatial gathering points.

Morphogenesis

Combining different design techniques in the case, I designed my own conceptual model. The streamline of human behavior inside the building is curved, which is more suitable for the streamline of human behavior in the park. In order to introduce sunlight into the interior of the building, I Divide the roof into three parts with different heights for each part to allow sunlight to enter the building

Individual project

Duration:Semester long

Using people's pursuit of utopia in "Alice in Wonderland" to form a concept, a wharf complex with the ability to escape the modern city is designed. At the same time, it also inspires people to think about what kind of architecture is really suitable for people to live and work in modern society.

LOWER MANHATTAN

The urbanization process of Manhattan is very rapid, as early as 1918 and with many high-rise buildings, in 1931, it has been fully built as a modern city. In order to quickly build a city, its urban layout is very mechanized and rigid.

The building site is a water taxi terminal in lower Manhattan. water taxi is one of the most important ways to travel in Manhattan. It is also the junction between Manhattan city and the ocean, the transition between city and nature, and the symbol of escape from the city

Urban Afforestation

The urban greenery in lower Manhattan is mainly distributed near the sea, so people living in the city center have to drive several kilometers to reach the green park in order to take a breath from the highspeed city life.

City Traffic City View

The city streets extend in all directions, but there are still serious traffic congestion problems, so people spend a lot of time for commuting

The street should be the most vital manifestation of the city, not order and efficiency

intricacy,centering , access to sunlight, and enclosure .

To foster lively and interesting streets

To make the fabric of the streets as continuous a network as possible

CITY NEIGHBORHOODS

To use parks, squares, and public buildings as part of the street fabric,

To foster a functional identity at the district level

Design an urban complex to improve the order and efficiency of urban buildings, blur the boundaries between city streets, parks, and buildings, and incorporate parks, streets, and functions into buildings. Design an urban complex that is open to all

The Island of Utopia

Through the analysis of the map of Alice in Wonderland, I found that it was actually designed based on the concept of Utopia, so I abstracted many map symbols from it as my concept

It's too noisy in the city, I can't calm down and read at all
It's hard to find a place for us to play in the city

Abstract Graph The First Stage Sketch Model

Building Form Generating Map

The abstracted patterns are turned into three-dimensional blocks, and then these different blocks are converted into preliminary sketch models based on the site, and finally all the features of the sketch models are extracted and incorporated into the final building. Turn the two-dimensional utopian concept into a three-dimensional threedimensional model, and finally into a building

The green roof allows people to experience the natural space inside the building while overlooking the cityscape of Manhattan at the same time

Second Floor Private Space

The second layer is mainly to provide some private spaces, such as reading, resting and other private spaces

First Floor Public Space

In the first floor, the main function is to provide some rest spaces and gathering spaces. This level has a spa room, a party hall, and a restaurant.

The ground floor serves as the waiting space of the pier, providing docks for ships to dock, a café, and seatings.

This pier can not only be used as a docking station for water taxis, but also provide a multi-functional space for urban residents, breaking the vacuum of functional zoning, bringing the heavy reinforced concrete forest, some real human space

For the city, the pier gives everyone a way to escape the city. You can come here to rest in your spare time in the daily tiring city life, have your own space or communicate with friends.

FOLDING AVON RIVER

Water Messum

Individual project

Duration:Semester long

Folding the Avon River into three parts into the museum makes the whole water museum contain three different crowd behaviors, which is also the epitome of people's behavior around the Avon River in the whole city. People's memories of the Avon River are also contained in this building.

1847

A reservoir was built at Barrow Gurney to receive the water, and also compensation reservoirs at Sherbourne and Chew Magna to maintain the flow of the River Chew.

1865

In 1865, due to the development of industry and the increase of population, the demand for water and electricity in the city expanded sharply.

1934

After World War II, Bristol built a larger reservoir to keep the city water

1975

After World War II until 1975, Bristol maintained very high quality city water and good river water quality. Among them, the avon river, which flows through the city center of Bristol, has a very long relationship with Bristol.

The entire Bristi River flows through the entire city center, which can be said to be the artery of the entire city. Wherever the river flows, it is the city center of Bristol or the center of residents' activities. Residents carry out different activities in different parts of the river. The river divides the entire city of Bristol into three parts. In the lower reaches of the River Avon, it is the economic center of the city, where there are many office buildings, where people work and study

In the middle reaches of the Avon River, there are many pubs, restaurants and coffee shops, where people rest, entertain and communicate with each other.

City Photos and Sketches

The site where the building is located lacks the motivation for people to stop. If you want to design a museum, it is more about how to make people stop

In the upper reaches, there are many park squares where people run and exercise.

I want to design a building that can function as a museum and an event space at the same time without affecting the original function of the site. Because the Avon River, as the mother river of Bristol, has a long history, I want to fold the activities of people in the three parts of the Avon River in one space. To reflect the significance of the Avon River to Bristol

Mapping Site

Morphogenesis

Retain the framework of part of the original building part of the site and add a part at the same time

Stretch the upper layer of the block towards the river, and make a height difference on the upper layer of the block

Make the height difference of the roof part streamlined

Dig out a piece and use it as a courtyard and square

Water Purification System

The sinking of the square allows people to gather in the square and make a rest space at the same time

The water is pumped from the river through the ground to the roof, and the pumping device is placed in the room on the second floor. After the water is initially filtered to be clear on the roof, it fills the glass layer of the roof, falls from the water curtain device on the roof to the indoor exhibition room, and then flows through the indoor channel to the center of the outdoor central square. Finally, the purified water will be will flow back to the Avon river

In 1973, Guangzhou still had many paddy fields. Although it was known as a foreign trade port in the past, it needed to regain its former prosperity due to the years of war
The end of the Cultural Revolution, the whole Guangzhou was listed as an economic development zone, the economy began to develop at a high speed
Due to the Cultural Revolution in China, the development of Guangzhou as a whole stagnated

First Stage

Quadruple Capsule Set

When the four capsules are gathered together, the partitions in the middle of the four capsules can be disassembled to form a living space for four people to communicate and live, and at the same time to interact with the surrounding frames without capsules

The bathhouse provides a large-area crowd cleaning function

Capsule housing can make more people live in a small area, while prefabricated housing makes construction more convenient and quick

The canteen provides a large area of food for the crowd

People living in a capsule combination can disassemble and combine the pre-installed panels of their own room at will, so as to achieve the purpose of communicating with adjacent capsules At the same time, people can work or study in different capsules without interfering with each other, or they can become a large capsule to realize the intercommunication of multiple capsules

Job shops offer a range of low-cost, lowpolluting shop jobs

HANDMADE MODULE

A three-layer model of a module was made by hand, using different materials to show the difference between the initial state of the unfinished building and the addition

Rendering

The building is located near the CBD of Guangzhou. Renovating an unfinished building in an area with many high-tech occupations and using it as a workplace for low-level employees undoubtedly proves that work is not high or low, everyone is equal, and they can also have the ability to work in the city's CBD.
