Fairytale•Airport•Creature•Terrain FACT is an allegorical loop fairy tale of urban colonization. The archetype of the fairy tale is found in the current situation of the South China Sea Dispute, where a prefecture-level archipelago city, Sansha, has been established by China in 2012 and progressively urbanized in order to consolidate its power over the area. In this narrative, the airport becomes its apparatus; the soldier becomes its creature; the terrain and the city become its symbols; wind, sound, water, light, color, time, all serves it—it is power. Through the allegorical fairy tale, FACT aims to reveal the individuals’ identification disability within this political tactic, the spectacles organized not only by the power of the Chinese government, but also by the power of the territorial game involving all the player countries. FACT also critiques flight-oriented urbanization and urban life. As the gateway of the air-networked city, the airport is not only a passive monument of the first and last impression of a city, but also an active player in orienting the master plan of the city and directing people’s experience of the city in a certain way. Meanwhile, the frequent-flyer urban life has led to a positive occasional amnesia. Similar to what is done by closures in comics, people’s experience of top-down urban time-space is fragmented by the closure of flights, yet public participation is enabled in the construction of bottom-up urban experiences.
THESIS
FACT is told in the form of an end-to-end Chinese-scroll-painting sculpture, with mixed means of painting, photography, printing, modeling, and layering. The hierarchical representation responds to the hierarchical mechanism of power, based on the study of how architecture, space and time contribute to a narrative.
My name is Me, a hermit. I live in Llanburn, a peaceful and pastoral remote island

But something went strange today. The terrain seemed to be changing its appearance. Maybe it was my hallucination. Time to bed.
But for no reason, they became too tired to speak. I decided to help them. They need the holy Llanburn Lake water, and then they would be healed up when they wake up on Day 2.

Motherlove and Kingsborough are both my creatures to manipulate the identities of my people.
In morning Day 1 in Kingsborough, as I requested to protect our frontier territory and our people, 100 guards were sent to Llanburn by Motherlove. The flight was going to take a whole day.
Guards got trained into assassins during the flight, of course to assassinate the hillbily instead of to protect. When arrived Llanburn, it became morning Day 1 again. Time confuse guards, so did their memory. When they wake up in the morning of Day 2, they became my new tiny y killing g creatures.
In the darkness of night Day 1, Motherlove transformed the terrain into assassination scene and poisoned the holy water. In the end of Day 2, after the hillbily had been slain, the toxicity will start to happen. This turned assassins power back to g p guards level.

I roamed with my Guqin in the world, from one island to the next. When I saw Motherlove arriving at Llanburn, I decided to stay. In the following days, I perceived 4 iterations of the same situation from 4 different characters.
I saw all of those. Then I played my Guqin. They found me, astonished, trying to kill me as well. But I jumped off the cliff by myself.
The sound of Guqin lasted. The assassins listened, bathed in the tranquil moonlight. The water became pure again, cascading towards next Kingsborough.

Beijing demoliƟon and relocaƟon informaƟon website opened
Beijing As Washed As Washed comes from direct translation of Chinese word Ru Xi ( 如 洗 ), a word usually used in Bi Kong Ru Xi ( 碧空如洗 ) and Yi Pin Ru Xi ( 一贫如洗 ), relatively meaning a cloudless blue sky and desperately poor. Beijing As Washed ironically suggests the urban smog issue of Beijing and the local bathhouse cultural loss as a result of demolition and relocation.

Newspaper was used to paper interior walls at home during the end of each year in Chinese rural families. It creates cleaner domestic spaces, a rendered social realm of mass media, and a sense of the past. Newspaper was then chosen as the best representational form of the reaserch of Beijing As Washed.
the power of scale is expressed through the operation of a thing, a habitat, and a system, as each relatively touching the essence of a man, an ambiance, and a relationship.
Scale
The human body need to be cleansed. The machine need to be cleansed. The air need to be cleansed. The city need to be cleansed. The cultural thinking need to be cleansed – Cleanse, in this case, is formalized in three different scales, as a thing, a habitat, a system.
Thing
System
Bathtub/container. Engaging the cleanse of human body. Detach of bacteria. Attach to architecture, water. Slipper. Engaging the cleanse of human body. Attach to individuals, ground. Mask. Engaging the cleanse of city air. Detach of smog. Attach to individuals, people
Taxi driver routine. Engaging the cleanse of taxi driver routine. Detach to city’s daytime routine. Attach to city’s nighttime routine, people’s night life. Demolition, counter-demolition (nail house engaged development, “amber”). Engaging the cleanse of city’s demolition and relocation. Detach the previous life setting. Attach to the habit. Attach nail householders and nail house to the new setting. Intercity transportation. Engaging the cleanse of passengers and freight movement routine. Attach discrete city fabrics, cultures, manufactures, all together as a continuous one. Intercity transportation pattern will be similar to city transportation.
Habitat Bathhouse. Engaging the cleanse of human body, consciousness of local culture. Detach of bacteria. Attach to community, landscape, water, city skyline (visually). Carwash. Engaging the cleanse of machine body, city image. Detach of smog. Attach to community, water. Street typology (section design). Engaging the cleanse of street program, city transportation, city image. Detach to sunshine, hazard (monsoon flooding). Attach to people, machines, river/canal, amenity, rural and urban.
It is the fetishistic attitude towards rapid urbanization of Beijing and unawareness of Old Beijing cultural loss that makes the culture ephemeral.
Ephemeral
Urban Bathhouse
The urban bathhouse of As If Washed at habitat level is mean to be ephemeral. The ultimate “architecture” are simply a documentary photograph and texts. The weakness of photos and texts, which are only the representations of the represented, is leveraged to express the inherent weakness of architecture against politics. It corresponds to the ephemerality of traditional Beijing urban bathhouse in the progress of demolition and relocation political act.
It was a canopied exterior corridor between two bathhouses in Caochangdi. It looked like a greenhouse of bathhouses. It was a bathhouse absent bathing, but full of signifiers of bath. It was a projection and extension of existing and vanishing bathhouse culture. It was inclusive. It was about community, how we live here.
There was no heating facilities in this bathhouse. It only accommodated the heat from the bathhouse neighborhood. They could feel if their neighbors were taking bath when walking through the bathhouse on their way home. In winter, the heat was so pleasurable. In summer, the heat is hidden in the climate.
There was no lighting fixtures in this bathhouse. It only accommodates the light from the bathhouse neighborhood. It works and rests in sync with the neighborhood.
It did not make any sound, but it is a place accommodating all kinds of sound. It can be the groan and creak of bikes, toot of taxis, bark of dogs, chirrup of birds, music of shops, clang of excavators…and mostly, bathhouse guests’ conversation. It is about where we come from, why we are here in Beijing from far away, what we do here, how we have been doing today, what is new, what has gone.
There was no water produced in this bathhouse. It only accommodates the vapor coming out of the bathhouse community from windows above our heads. The visibility inside of this bathhouse is ironic. It reminds us the cleansing of body. It reminds us the smog outside the bathhouse. It reminds us the medium we live on.
It was actually a poster, one among many that being posted on Caochangdi’s buildings. It was as situated as the other advertising posters. It was big, but eventually it would be defeated by the small, as it was covered by the new posters and moving to the back. It was pure ephemeral. It only accommodated the old, rather than demolish it, to create the new. It is a reflection of the demolition.

Retrospective View We need sometime to stare at Beijing, think of it, from a point of view that we never thought about before.
Stage The bathhouse should spontaneously cultivate the culture of Beijing and the culture of itself.
Traditional Chinese scroll painting sometimes dipicts a story rather than a still image. As multiple scenes and acts are articulated in sequence in one continuous painting, the painting achieves temporal artistry. The entire site section of rural bathhouse embraces this representational concept, awakening the perception of time through the use of natural element.
Narration
Material In Changyuan village, colorful stone is the vernacular material of any kind of constructions, fences, roads, steps, houses.
Outdoor Shallow Pool The pool encourages people’s participation in different seasons by different means, and the perception of the nature while doing so.
Hiking Hiking in the landscape is the most vernacular activities of the villagers. Portraits are always taken while hiking with a sense of faithfulness of nature
Heating Straws and wood are major fuel for domestic heating. The abundance of natural fuel in rural area is the lifeblood of rural bathhouse.
Transportation Besides driving, biking becomes more and more popular in Beijing. People are expecting beautiful distant destinations.
The texts are the signifier which gives the finest texture to the space and representation of it, while leaving certain possibility of misinterpretation, which could not be transcended by drawings, images and models

Delray Wilds Delray is a space of decampment, infrastructure is failing and investment is virtually non-existent. Our proposal initiates landscape management as a remedial effort and sets in motion the aggregation of a new urbanism, the Delray Wilds – catalyzed through expropriation and construction mobilization necessitated by the new International Bridge Crossing.. The expropriation of Delray, leaves behind a legacy of Superfund sites of heavily polluted brownfields. The topography surrounding the DRIC plaza is a dynamic response to ongoing remediation efforts. International entry will land, and be processed as an additional logistic layer in this landscape. Biomass is collected as the plants and trees reach accumulation limits, which invite new plantings in which squirrels and deer thrive, where Canadian geese mate and scientists perform ongoing field research. Regardless of a visitor’s association or relationship with Delray, anyone who visits or interacts within will leave with a sense of nirvana, longing to return once again to the Wilds.
The citizens of Detroit and the broader Great Lakes region face a crisis of water quality. Surficial pollutants are collected from the expansive hardscapes throughout Detroit during rain events and are transported along with raw sewage to treatment centers along the Rouge River. This system is overworked and essentially overflows into the Detroit River. The implications for the natural ecosystem is detrimental to the health of flora, fauna and people. Numerous public and private environmental organizations from local to international influence have a vested interest in, and are committed to clean water futures. Whlie often acting separately, this proposal imagines their efforts united towards new models of ecological production.

Located in Delray, where the soil and water are heavily contaminated by local industry, via successional constructed wetland, the landscape design aims at removing the contaminants in collected surface water in created cellular depression and sewage water by engaging Detroit sewage water system over time, while producing public recreation programs based on the species and land morphology in each stages, providing full public access as respond to the potential population that the new crossboarder bridge going to bring about. The secondary aim to prevent Delray from 100 year stormwater flood by this project is achieved by transforming vacant hard surface to constructed wetland, while leveraging stormwater as a source to recharge groundwater in Delray area.

Constructed wetlands receiving with water high in nutrients, such as domestic and agricultural wastewaters. can be built with sand or gravel. Sand is an inexpensive alternative to soil and provides an ideal texture for hand planting. Gravel can also be used. Many domestic sewage SFW in the United States have used media ranging from medium gravel to coarse rock. Sands and gravels dry out quickly and may need to be irrigated to maintain water levels while the vegetation is becoming established.”

This substantial network of like minded NGOs and philanthropy is tapped in an effort to leverage the greatest public benefit with the arrival of the Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC). Billions of dollars earmarked for the bridge project are leveraged investment to produce more than a functional entity. The bridge being the prime economic catalyst for the region, is the impetus for a clean water system managed through landscape transformation. Rainwater runoff is collected and absorbed in a decentralized network of constructed wetlands designed to accommodate large storm events. The surrounding landscape in effect invites a new urban park to emerge, restructuring the existing division of land ownership and urban structures towards alternate futures.

The Delray Wilds do not appear immediately with the arrival of the DRIC, but is to be ecologically managed as a successive evolution of plant and animal species. It is an ethical responsibility to rebalance the ecosystems of man and nature and achieve a utopian realization for the future. Time is the greatest asset in the Wilds, as there is no foreseeable demand for DelRay’s reoccupation. In this context, we imagine this landscape project as a form of urban phalanstaria, whose citizens include plant and animal species, vagrant and visiting humans and the populations of workers and machines that maintain and shape its evolution.

The formal nature of the cellular organization allows for a variety of potential occupations not through speculation but by appropriation as needs arise. An ode to its urbanized past, the cellular grid layout of the cells anticipates future flows and functions. It provides a foundation for a utopian future, which may or may not be pressured into future formal inhabitation. While the cells await their eventual fate, they serve as cultural spectacle for any and all who want to participate.

There was a debate of whether or not to mix people of different income to live in the same tower all together. Finally we end up with a new notion of “share”, which would allow allo ow different classes beneficially live together, leveraging “density” and a connecting everybody. The notion of share include two approaches, approache es, share of same space between different programs on one side, s and share of same resource between different classes on th he other. the

The first approach is what we mentioned to you that the same space occupied by different program in different time within a day round and within a year round. For low class, we provide them open terraces between neighbors, serving as shared bathroom, laundry airing, children playground, and other temporary programs. For high class, we provide them roof garden, which can only be unit-owned.

While the first approach is utilizing the gap between programs in terms of frequency of happening, the second approach is utilizing the gap between classes in terms of perception of privacy. In analysis drawing, we are making a picture comparison diagram: high class owns Limo, owns family tutor, owns swimming pool, owns garden, while low class share the train, share street teaching, share street cricket, share open space - transportation, education, sports and space are all resources for sharing. High classes try their best to own resources, while low classes try their best to share resources. Privacy occurs everywhere in high class life, but nowhere in low class life. Therefore, the gap between classes in terms of perception of privacy exists. Apparently, living space is one of the crucial resources, and it born to be embodied with different privacy. The privacy difference within a space will correspond with the privacy perception gap between classes in our design. Considering a tower as a living resource, the lower levels of most publicity are designed for low classes. They can open up storefront, shipping in and out, work and live, have relationship with streets such as joining a wedding. The higher levels of most privacy are designed for high classes. They have separate entrance, own peace, own larger space, establish private communities, hold important business meeting.

What’s more, such resources exist which are shared by all classes and connect all classes, which are waste and rainwater. On one hand, we are composing a waste classification channel system attached to the façade of the towers, which can channel different kind of waste to different communities in the low class section. By doing so, high and low classes are connected by waste, and the low and the low are connected in a new cooperation-based form. On the other hand, we are composing a rainwater collecting system. Starting from collected by the bridged roof, cascading through the high class section and turning into an owned water feature, collected again in the low class section, purified collectively, finally distributed to every low class unit for domestic use, such as drinking, showering, cloth washing, etc. The high and the low are thus connected together by rainwater. The speed of the landing of the rain is thus reduced by the system. The urban drainage load is thus relieved. The connectivity between the low class and clean water is thus produced. Metaphorically, it is also the transformation of the connection produced by Indian water culture. However, owned-then-shared rainwater is asking a crucial social question: is it really impossible to reconcile the contradiction of “own” and “share” between classes? It is a question that we must leave open here.

cross section
The big openings in elevation of the low class section produce relatively public moments within the neighborhood, and also produce opportunities for the bridging from tower to tower and from tower to urban infrastructures. Train station, for example, would be the termination of those bridges, which connects low class people by transportation, and eventually connects the people from our site to the broader area of entire Mumbai. On the bridge, some nodes are expanded, serve as playground; some steps are designed as seating for temporary street performance and outdoor teaching - The low class people are connected by living, business, education, music, sport. For high classes, the roof are bridged as a skypark, like SkyPark in Singapore, serving as tennis court, swimming pool, golf practice court and public garden, for the high class to come and enjoy the privacy enabled by high elevation. What about mid class? There are some program of low class that could possibly be shared with mid class, such as vendor and circulation. Vendors like flower selling along the vernacular public corridor on the ground level will produce multi-sensory connection between low and mid classes, which cannot be fully accessed by the high class in their cars. Therefore, the low and mid classes are connected by color, smell, business and movement. Eventually, the tower is shared between classes which optimizes the use of space, and connect everyone.
Mediated Library
Chengdu, Sichuan, China
UNDERGRAD
Do fishes know that they are wet? The subtle paradigm shift is happening everymoment in the library, from the traditional mass media to the new, from books to the internet, from physical texts to the information flux. Unfortunately, the mass media to human beings, as Marshall McLuhan states, is as imperceptible as the water to fishes. The relationship between human and media, the source domain, is transfered to the relationship between space and structure, the target domain. In the library, structure no longer exists as the media to physically support the space. Structure becomes the determinant of the existence mode of the space - As the digital media becomes the determinant of the existence mode of human beings, human exists “mediatedly” - space exists “structurally”. When walking around the atrium, as walking in a media museum, admiring the print media being displaced by the digital media, would people be remind of the film camera being displaced by the digital camera, manual textile being displaced by machine spin? Would they realize that when the subject turns into a form of art, the media environment paradigm shift has already happened.

The Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) has recently embarked on an expansion of its programs and structure, represented by an official change of name as of April 27, 2010. OCAD University is a studio-based institution focused primarily on the visual arts (both fine and commercial). The newly envisioned university based on a well-established elite arts school (formed by Canada’s leading painters in 1876) is seeking to expand into other areas of the arts including dance, performance, music and film. This is combined with a continued push for visual presence in Toronto as a primary institution of quality. The first proposed expansion of curriculum is for two new program majors, the first for theater and the second for the film arts. The new Theater program includes the following programs: Acting, Design for Theater and Entertainment, Technical Arts, Directing, Playwriting, and Theater and Performance Studies. The Film Program includes: Animation, Cinema and Media Studies, Cinematography, Producers Program, Screenwriting and Film History. These two new curriculum areas will be housed in a new building designed for the purpose located on Queen Street West and called the Center for Film and Theatre. An agreement has been reached with the City of Toronto to acquire the current municipal parking lot at 310 Queen Street West. In return, OCAD has agreed to develop 35% of the site for public use and rework the design of Queen Street West (Queen Street West Redesign) from Spadina Avenue to McCaul Street to improve the quality of the street and its use for both pedestrians, shoppers, strollers and vehicles of all types.

The field trip to Toronto had provided me lots of information about this city and some places had made me so excited and curious. Based on the study of two local public places succeed in atmosphere rendering, Dundas Square and Distillery Historic District, I found that visual height and, further more, visual enclosure ratio (I named it), are highly correlated with corresponding spatial atmosphere.
