01 Agaritecture Living architecture with life cycle

Graduate Studies Acadamic / Group Work Project Type: Material Architecture Group Member: Yue Wang, Mattice Boets, Yuliang Bai, Quincey Location: London, United Kingdom Date: December 2020 We commonly conceive buildings as fixed things, but we believe that they are not, they are moving, evolving, degrading, growing masses. With Mycelium, we can witness this at an incredible rate, creating an organism that is architecture, that has a lifecycle. We use mycelium as an alternative to traditional building materials.The mycelium starts to grow within a week, feeding off the substrate within as well as the hessian, eventually growing on the surface of the hessian bags, exposing its beauty to the outer world. It is entirely biodegradable and can be recycled after the building is demolished.

Mycelium + Textile Test Result of the Growth

Over the past several years, mycelium has become recognized as a useful material that could shape a future from which architecture can be grown. The case for building with mycelium is that it is fast-growing, low-cost, energy efficient, and a low-waste alternative to known, traditional building materials. Celluose is a kind of food for mycelium. Textile made by cellulose plants is our only choice for experiment. Natural plants textiles as a substrate to provide nutrition to the mycelium. Mycelium is mixed with hemp hurds and the mixture is then shaped by putting it into prestitched hessian bags. And mycelium can grow on the surface of the bag.

Prototype Design Making process We watered the wall prototype and covered the plastic wrap inside of the black fabric for the greenhouse to prevent mycelium from drying. It is vital to keep the greenhouse being damp and promote the growth. We can control the watering time to let mycelium stop in different growth state or continue its life cycle constantly. It can impact the aesthetic texture of mycelium-textile composites as a part of the design. We classify stages of growth into three stages: starting of growth, mid-term growth, end of growth. From the observation of these stages, its intrinsic principles led mycelium show different interaction in textures of material including colors, the pattern of textile and quantity of mushrooms as decoration on the mycelium-textile surface.

02 Memory of Market Tr a n s f o r m a t i o n a n d A c t i v a t i o n o f O l d U r b a n A r e a s 4th Year of Undergraduate Studies Acadamic / Group Work Group Member: Yue Wang, Haiyue Xing Project Type: Urban Design Location: Kunming, China Date: October 2018 Kunming is one of the most important tourist cities in China. This city is on the road of urbanization and new industrialization. As a designer, residents should be endowed with a sense of belonging and urban space and architecture in line with the history and memory of the city. I do not want the connotation and self-renewal ability of local culture to be blurred and lost under the influence of globalization.

Decline of The Old Town

Waterways K unM i ng Downt own Si te

Metro Line In the boom of urban development in recent years, the old city in the center of the city has been abandoned and forgotten in the process of development, becoming a lost space. On the other hand, the residual humanistic culture in the minds of the older generation still has some potential to be retained and developed. This topic focuses on the activation and transformation of zhuan new agricultural and trade zone with the characteristics of old kunming.

Protect Regional Cultural Diversity As a new communication mode emerging in the development of creative industry, "creative market" is more and more popular among urban youth. It can not onlyy promote the development of innovation consciousness of the whole society, but also serve as a good interactive communication platform. In essence, it has similar behavior pattern and space pattern with the traditional market, which is more acceptable to the aborigines. The vision and attitude of the younger generation into the body of the traditional market, not only let us remember the warm and lively secular scene to be shown, but also create both local and trendy lifestyle and name card.

Memory of Market This project seeks the common ground between traditional culture and emerging culture, Bridges with Market and designs pop-up installation and some street and square facilities to slightly intervene in the space of the old city, so as to have a series of rich regional activities in different festivals and occasions to awaken the vitality of the city.

Site Location

03 Mirror Garden Renovation of the Old Industry Building 3rd Year of Undergraduate Studies Acadamic / Group Work Group Member: Yue Wang, Haiyue Xing Project Type: Renovation & Studio Design Location: Chongqing, China Date: May 2018 The site is located in Shapingba District of Chongqing city, Shabin Road in the east, elevated garden bridge in the north and planned track loop in the south. Saci culture industrial park is a national historical and cultural block, a national cultural industrial park and an important cultural tourism destination in Chongqing. There are large areas of residential areas and university towns and other educational buildings.

Ruin In the City The site is full of vegetation, forming a natural vertical greening. The entire site is located in the mountains, northeast of the jialing river, with a good geographical landscape.The old factory buildings, far from the bustling crowds of shapingba, are green, quiet and old "ruins" in the city.In the process of urbanization and industrialization, leaving behind such industrial wasteland, we can't help asking, what should they become?

Preserve and increase the green

Reflecting Memory In the future, it will integrate into the new functions of the city. We wish to retain the rough texture of the cement mortar of the factory building. The "newly added element" cannot hide the original texture, so the new element should be light and transparent, which can be concealed in the green and ref l ect the memory of the city -- "mirror".

SITE PLAN 01

According to the height difference of the site, the building has multiple entrances and exits, allowing users to enter the main body of the building from different elevations and reach different functional areas. The outdoor stair and the viewing platform facing the jialing river follow the terrain and connect and interact with the outside world, and have the best view in the east.

Space of Mirror Mass Because of the particularity of hexagon, it is fixed no longer with rectangle when furniture is put and designed. But the different property design according to different space saves a space, the furniture that has a characteristic and put a way. For example: the working room will be placed around the desk by hexagon, the center again enclosed a part of the tea room & print room, make full use of the space of hexagon.

Make Flowing Space Flowing space should avoid isolating static mass combination and pursue consecutive movement space. In concept form of the scheme, the site is considered as a piece of tiling paper, and the irregular arcs are trimmed to create a flexible shape and a flexible space for the foundation. Lifting the paper to create a new interior space means that the floor slab and the wall are integrated. The part that is not completely lifted is connected to the ground to become new vertical traffic, and the raised part can undergo various internal activities, so that the boundary between indoor and outdoor become blurred, and people's behavior has more continuity and uncertainty again.

For the layout of the room, the shape of space is basically offset according to the curvature of the arc and then separated to make the space agile while ensuring the maximum use of the space. As for the main body of the stadium, the space under the more open roof can be freely passed through the steps and ramps. Whether waiting space or commercial space has become flexible in the main stadium, it no longer brings a kind of overly serious closure sense.
