Bei Zhen City Museum

Graduation project Project: City Museum Size: 8000 sqm Date: 2017 Materials: Felt/Carpet/Marble/Translucent glass/Metal Panels/Oak Veneer

Bei Zhen/ Liao Ning/ China Advisor: Yang Jianmin of BIT The project is located in the open space on the south side of Beizhen Temple of Beizhen, so people started to think carefully about how to handle the relationship between the building and the surrounding historic districts. In such a historic cultural area, more emphasis should be placed on the relationship between new buildings and old ones. In addition, as cultural center of the city, this program not only serves the function of a museum, but also provides urban citizens with a gathering place. So the designer hope this museum is neither serious nor solemn. It should be an architecture that is free and respectful of history, so that people can develop a relaxed feeling here. Because the building's surroundings are planned as Cultural Squares, the Museum can function as a sub-center here.

I hope that people will gather freely where it becomes part of local life.

Although Beizhen is a famous historical and cultural city with numerous historical sites and historical relics, including not only small objects but many giant stone Buddha statues. Therefore, while considering indoor exhibitions, I also consider the use of the combination of the landscape and the show.

Materials: OSB/ Wire/ Veneer Beijing/ China This project is designed for the exhibition space appliances, and was earliest used in Beijing Design Week. The organizers will provide a space about 20 ㎥ for display, and there will be about one week of show time. Therefore, I fully considered the reuse of the appliances and the reasonable price of the materials in design.

The modern exhibition space is no longer limited to indoors, but is a more diverse space. It may be big as an entire city, or small as a corner. The exhibition place is everywhere with diverse forms. It will show the exhibits in space to passing pedestrians through this design, and will and will include the streets, surrounding buildings as part of traditional exhibitions.

In the fast-paced life, some small groups like individuals, organizations have higher needs for expressing themselves, and have a new request for exhibitions. Therefore, the exhibitions should be easy to operate, functional and diverse, and should deal with different scenarios. The modular design is used in the design, and the entire display space is combined by different modules, while the modular design makes products easy to store, and achieve different functions. I choose the environmentally friendly and low-price materials, as well as the materials of multiple use, so that they can be re-used and are environmentally. This display is mainly for young designers, artisans and young artists to organize their personal works exhibitions, reading clubs, creative markets and other activities.

The diverse history and economic development of Center City, Philadelphia began in 1682 when William Penn established Philadelphia City as the capital of the English Crown Province of Pennsylvania. Center City and Philadelphia City as a whole went through both growth and decline in its manufacturing industry, railroad systems and grain storage as affected by socioeconomic changes such as industrialization and urbanization following the Civil War, WWI and WWII. In addition, it is also affected by economic changes such as the Recession of the early 1990s, which resulted in high unemployment rates and poverty.

Driven by demographic and economic forces, these cities are rapidly changing. In a relentless ‘Block Attack', massive towers, slabs and blocks with repetitive housing units, floor plans and facades are invading – scraping away the urban villages that have evolved over hundreds of years. These alien buildings provide a Western standard of living, while destroying indigenous communities in the process. They obstruct urban innovation and discourage diversity, flexibility and individually tailored ideas.

Is there a better way to develop these areas? Could we densify them without sacrificing the informality of the urban village? Could we apply the principles of informality to generate new neighborhoods? What if we could develop urban villages vertically, as an alternative to the monotonous sea of blocks?This project is a comprehensive project that includes rail planting parks, a health food market, shared living and working spaces, and an urban complex to reactivate these once glorious buildings. It is located in the city's cultural center, hoping to become a new city gathering place in the future.

These big ramps are connected to the roads in the city. People can easily go up and down this ramp to reach the road, and they can easily reach the park from the road.Use the height of the ramp to design shops and public service facilities on the side of the ramp to bring popularity to this area and also serve the surrounding

As a continuation of the park, the ground floor of the building is designed as a health food supermarket, which is convenient for residents and surrounding residents. At the same time, the building also serves as one of the passages up and down the ground.

Old Building Renovation Project: Roger Williams Park Old Building Renovation Date: 2018 Materials: Frosted stainless steel / Glass / Concrete Providence / RI Design-build team: Yuan Jin/Liman Wei/Lanting Advisor: Wolfgang Rudorf This project is an old building renovation project. This is the first project I came to RISD. The project is located in the park of Rhode Island. The building has been in existence for more than 100 years and was once a small room for storing seal food. So called the seal house, after field measurement and modeling, we gradually have our own concept,

Because this is a century-old building and part of the park, the internal functions no longer exist, so we hope to protect the facade of the building. In a sense, it protects the original features of the building. Transforming the building into a Small museum about the history of the park.

There are four small buildings and one main road around the building. We have selected two points from the main road and added the perspective of the four buildings. So we cut the lines from six angles and got a body. We will use this body and architecture. Tightly combined, the four historical buildings can be seen from the four windows in the body. At the same time, when you stand on the main road, the angle just can't see the newly seen body, and you can see the original appearance of the building.

Exhibition Design Project: Exhibition Date: 2018 Materials: Wood/Translucent glass/Metal structure Cotent: Exhibition Design/Interior Design/Graphic Design Boston/Massachusetts

The project is located at Harvard University. This project is the first complete exhibition design I have made, including the selection of exhibits, interior space design, interior structural design, display cabinet design, installation design, lighting design, exhibition catalog design, etc. Help me better understand the exhibition.

In fact, this space is not an exhibition space. It is a transitional space between the student study room and the teacher's office. It is a square box. The height of the room is ten meters, but the width is not five meters, so I I decided to use the vertical space to create an indoor space through different heights to get more exhibition space.

During the field trip, I found that many students were resting in the corridors, because the whole building was of an academic type, so my exhibition theme focused on music, the exhibits were music players of different ages, and some even had a hundred years of history. At the same time of the exhibition, I matched the music of the same era, so that students and teachers can have a space to relax while studying.

Raid the Icebox Now with Sebastian Ruth RISD Museum Sep.13.2019 https://risdmuseum.org/exhibitions-events/ exhibitions/raid-icebox-now-sebastian-ruth

Much of my work questions how to integrate musical experiences and the life of a community for mutual benefit. I’ve been inspired by educator John Dewey’s project in the 1930s to find ways of “restoring continuity” between art and everyday life experience.

Dewey worried that the formality of art spaces prevented people from seeing art as lively, meaning-rich encounters connected to a sense of purpose as humans in the world.

Philosopher Maxine Greene took this a step further and said we can and must “lend works of art” our lives—we must allow ourselves to see art as speaking to our core questions, not in an abstract or cerebral way, but in a way that connects to our memories, our pasts, our lived lives.

Nicole Eisenman lives and works in New York and received her BFA from RISD in 1987. Her work in painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture adapts traditional art-historical techniques and approaches to an often satirical depiction of contemporary society and its discontents. Eisenman’s practice is also defined by a commitment to representing the complex implications of the body as a site of desire and identity and
