[REGENERATION UNDER REGULATION] A Bazaar For Craftsmen Living Beside Mao's Monument Individual Work Site: Guangzhou October 2020 A protective historical area is usually limited by numerous conservation regulation, especially where Chairman Mao had stayed before. But it is a pity if we put aside the vitality of the handicrafts living in here, which is also protective heritage. Therefore, the idea of creating a bazaar for them under the shadow of Mao came into my mind.

Protective Historical Buildings Commercial Streets for craftsmen Art School

Site

The site was used to be the living and working place for Mao and his followers who were also the senators of the Communist Party in the 1920s. Until today, the whole place becomes a protective historical area with a series of constructional prohibition. But some craftsmen also earn a living between those buildings. The front of "Qi-lou" buildings are thin and tall. But if you look inside, it is totally differed from the outside with various space form.

The "Origami" structure on the ground aims to be a fake wall which is required by the rules of the protective historical area.

Under the Origami, following the spiral stairs is the bazaar for the handicraftmen and the visitors. The studios of the workers are behind the bazaar. The whole design is aiming to activate the space under control by rules through those handicraftmen living in here, by providing spaces for working and selling.


Crafts The three structures together provide spaces for exhibition or holding conference.

The streets are aimed to create communication between selling and crafting. There are multiple activities that can be held on the streets.

The hold design is underneath a gigantic structure that can connect with the ground. Creating spaces inside and outside, it also protects the workers from the exist of Mao's spirit.

[STREET BETWEEN CAMPUS & CITY] A College Students Exchange Center On the Edge Of The Campus Individual Work Instructor: Jia Hai, Xuhong Liu, Ya Wang Site: Guangzhou July 2019 TOP 100 – Asian Architecture Newcomers Competition China Division (2019) The building was designed for an art school, containing students majoring in such as industrial design and architecture. It is a school located in the centre of a metropolis, which is interesting for me to cooperate the interaction between the city and school. Also, the design should meet all the requires of the current trend of design study.

Also, it provides a better vision for the communication between the city and the school. There are two main functions that are set in the pilotis, which are sports and reading areas.

Social Opacity With the uprising of stairs, the extent of privacy keeps increasing, with that most of the activities engaging by the public, students and workers are set in the lower levels of the building. also, the frequency of the usage of functions is dropping when going upstairs.

The Level of Acquaintancy Most of the outdoor activities and semi-outdoor activities are replaced by indoor activities in the high levels of the building, with the changing of "passive contacts" to "close friendships", which describes how familiar the people you have contacted in the building. Also, there are two types of activities which are defined as necessary and optional designed according to the height.

[SPECTATOR] A Theater Space For Immersive Theatre Individual Work Site: Guangzhou February 2020 Immersive theatre is an emerging type of drama, whose spaces designed for performers and audiences can be imaginable. A movie is a show where the perspectives of audiences are limited by the director, which is exactly the kind of space I have interest in for a new drama type. In my design, the audiences also perform a show for the pedestrians, they are all spectators.

Following three perspectives of the character, the mood of the scenario, which could be relaxing or tense, is measured by the grey level of the picture and the camera speed. Grey Level Camera Speed Mood Static Level

The concept was originally inspired by the movie "Rashomon", which tells one story from three different angles by three people. In the view of the audience, they are three stories. It was all about the consideration of the spectator.

"Rashomon" requires the audiences to combine three stories into one. Same as the immersive theatre, if the audiences want to piture the whole story, they need to explore several time and put all the pieces of the puzzle together by themselves.
