THESIS STATEMENT The biggest problem of the state-controlled children’s education in the People’s Republic of China is that the system focuses more on the method of education rather than learning of children themselves. Thus the children are lack of internal motivation to learn. Moreover, the typical education in China tend to isolate the students from the neighborhood, lacking a chance for students to really interact and experiment hands on with new knowledge. However, this problem aspect can be overcame by learning from the western pedagogical strategies, such as the Montessori Education. For this educational approach, the primary goal is to stimulate children’s internal motivation to learn. Children have more freedom to make decisions. What are they going to learn? Where? When? And How?
learning space is added to create a framework within which children can use to develop their own meaning of learning. At the same time, informal learning spaces are created to extend and enhance children’s learning experiences outside the classroom boxes. In this way, I contend that the school as a learning institution and the architecture that gives it spatial form and urban presence both act as a critique of current practice.
A school building designed to specialize these pedagogical strategies could rely on architectural tactics which produce the following effects. The school itself becomes a part of the urban infrastructure to connect the school community with the neighborhood, which allows children to have more interaction with its surroundings and the society. Also, within the school, minor

BEIJING
BEIJING, also called Peking, is the capital of China. It is a metropolis located in northern China and surrounded by Heibei Province. It is always considered as the political, cultural, and educational center of the nation. The city has a variety of resources in culture, architecture, art, media, sports and education. It not only has the best universities of China, but also has the best elementary and middle schools, which can well represent the education system of China.

Haidian District is one area full of different educational institutions including the world-known universities such as Peking University, and Tsing-hua University. There are other colleges such as the China Technology School of Astronomy, the Technology Institute of Engineer, the Beijing Film Academy and so on. The convergence of different college campuses provide Haidian District a healthy precedent condition for positive learning atmosphere.
MAIN TRAFFIC The site is sat next to a major road, which connected the Fourth Ring Road and Fifth Ring Road. Nearby there is a big crossing.
INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY MAJOR CROSSING MAJOR TRAFFIC PROGRAM SITE PRIMARY SCHOOL ATTACHED TO TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY
BEIJING INSTITUTION OF EDUCATION
PRIMARY SCHOOL ATTACHED TO PEKING UNIVERSITY
Since the site is located in the university area, there are most of academic buildings located on the western side of the site. And, the residential buildings are built on the eastern side of the site.
ACADEMIC BUILDING RESIDENCE BUILDING SERVICE BUILDING INDUSTRY BUILDING DINING HALL RESTAURANT CIRCULATION Based on the program and major traffic analysis, the big road next to the site is an important separation between the academic and the living. Two sides need connections. There are three existing connections.
SITE SELECTION My proposed site will be situated between Tsing-hua University and Peking University. (As indicated in the next page.) Both Universities have their own School of Education. My proposed school can become part of the universities, used as an experimental learning environment. Moreover, there are several existing elementary schools, which can be used as comparisons to my proposed design.

EXHIBITION LIBRARY CLASSROOM RESEARCH CENTER/OFFICE LABORATORY
Through the use of digital, simulation and analog technology, this project address the issue of air quality in NYC while simultaneously exploring the resurgence of public infrastructural architecture to reduce energy consumption, re-mediate environmental degradation and harvest and distribute energy. The basic scheme of the project is a tower with a giant open on the top. The footprint of building butts up against Canal street and Varick Street with the major Filtration system existent her because of the prevailing winds. Open plaza or garden space is placed facing the research facility and near the basketball court near 6th Ave. The placement is created to mimic the park near canal and to increase greenery within New York City.

JUXTAPOSING "WALL" FARMER'S MARKET | 2010 SPRING | SYRACUSE | INSTRUCTOR: PROF.YUTAKA SHO
A FARMER'S MARKET (also farmers market) is a physical retail market featuring foods sold directly by farmers to consumers. Farmers' markets typically consist of booths, tables or stands, outdoors or indoors, where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, meats, and sometimes prepared foods and beverages. They are distinguished from public markets, which are generally housed in permanent structures, open year-round, and offer a variety of nonfarmer/producer vendors, packaged foods and non-food products. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmers'_market>

Onodaga Creek is treated as the seperate lines of Syracuse downtown and rural area. People from two areas enjoy different life styles. Two parts are in comparison. Similarly, the site is divided into two parts by Onondaga Creek. Each part can represent one of the urban and rural areas, and juxtapose to the other. 2
