DESIGN PHILOSOPHIES Before studying in university, for a long time, I was a science student who was good at solving various mathematical, physical and chemical problems with graphic art and geometry. I had a sensitive observation and imagination on the structure of shapes, geometry, mathematical relations, and biochemistry. After I chose a major in university, I gradually formed my own design language: creating and designing space with the latter (mathematical, physical and chemical) logical structure thinking is very wonderful, and I constantly try a subtle logical chain between the two , Then use perceptual vision and artistic means to present it. For example, in my "Resurgence · Ceremony", in the construction of the future urban framework, under the arrangement and planning of urban needs, I explored the three-dimensional hexagonal framework and consulted the related hexagonal framework theory ("Central place theory" ) Wait, perfect the final future city proposal, make the six-sided relationship threedimensional, and the connection between the upper and lower levels and the layout is very interesting. Another example is the concept of urban growth in "Doomsday Archipelago" from the analogy of bacterial growth morphology, the logical application of the cellular structure of biological reproduction, and the idea of ​​ "growing" the city.

The components in the traditional gas tank are used as design monomers, combined and assemsbled to form a work of art.

2 The product parts are actually very interesting elements. When they are assembled again, they often have different gains and the space is also very interesting. I chose the parts of the gas tank as my design monomer, because of its interesting structure: the combination of crown, tube, and sheet-shaped body, so that the monomer itself forms a certain structure, and a new space body is created in the transformation.

"Architecture awareness and material exploration"

As a characteristic rock in China, Taihu Stone's form after the relationship between virtual and reality has been separated is very attractive to me.

PHYSICAL FRAME: Braided wire + Virtual space The iron wire is easy to bend, and many methods have been tried to form the surface.

Taihu stone or porous stone is a kind of limestone produced at the foot of Dongting Mountain in Suzhou, which is close to Lake Tai. Due to long-term surging by water, this kind of stone features pores and holes. These stones are very popular in gardening, following the concepts of traditional daoism and juxtaposition, themes very popular in that style of decoration.

Color generalization course:

Color training I learned the generalization of colors and the use of adjacent colors and contrast colors in school.

ART WORKS

(2018-2020)

During my initial professional exploration in college, I selected the representative works that I like and have formed my thinking in time nodes, showing the formation of my thinking framework. It includes mechanical exploration, color exploration, exploration of the connection between frame organization and urban texture framework, and so on, which formed my final design language.

Imagination of future self-sufficient urban framework: "A century ago, only about 10% of the world's population lived in cities. According to the United Nations, this figure will rise to 75% by 2050."

WOWWWW!!!!!!!

Wow you see, someone is

Is there still a traffic jam today? I want to go to the supermarket to buy something.

good idea!!

Take care of our crops!

WOWWWW!!!!!!!

I WANT some fruits. Maybe I can find some in this big guy!!

I LOVE this city!!!!!!!

In this modern society, the "ritual sense" in people's lives is gradually diluted by the life of module similarity, and office workers go to work every day like “lunch-work-weekend-holiday-...”; Students attend classes like “lunchschool-exams-holidays-...” and so on; The existence of festivals or major life nodes is like another form of "long vacation".

Young people are the active crowd in the city and the source of urban vitality.

(2019-2020)

What is the sense of rituality in life?London has Christmas Node Lamp Ceremony, China has its own large and small festivals, each country has its own "ceremony"; big to Spring Festival, National Day and other major holidays, national ceremonies; then birthdays, graduations, weddings and other personal life Node Ceremony; finally small to dinner, a small glass of red wine, weekly purchase of lucky flowers and other more intimate personal ceremonies, are "ceremonies"The expression of feeling. While focusing on the current urban society, the "sense of ritual" in people's life is gradually diluted by the modular similar life. Working people have "work-lunch-work-weekend-holiday" every day; students have "class-lunch-school-exam-holiday" and so on; festivals or major life nodes exist as another form of "long vacation", while due to the popularity of the network and mobile phones, now in the city.Life in the city is more like surfing the Internet anytime, anywhere, and the boundaries of places are weakened.

NO TRAFFIC JAMS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

"Ritual sense" is divided into three levels (city Festival - personal life node - personal life ceremony) to form the urban framework, and positioned with the urban landmark node of Yangliuqing, Tianjin. Meanwhile, the city considers various energy graded transportation, urban recycling, and provides ideas for solving the existing urban traffic problems and urban production food safety problems.

It feels great to OVERLOOK the city from a high place, and the FACILITIES are also very convenient. I feel that my HAPPINESS has improved!!!!!!!

How is "ritual" in the city?"Through re-exploration of the sense of ritual and in-depth investigation of the base, for Tianjin YangLiuqing, the inheritance of the New Year pictures is the record of the city and the expression of the sense of ritual, and the type of New Year pictures exactly reflects all aspects owned by a city: Legend - exorcising evil spirits, praying, sacrificing (production); secular life - reflecting daily life, relatives and friends of couples (life)."Residential); Immortals, Mascots - Festivals, Blessings, Hopes (Festivals), etc.The New Year Painting is the collective "ritual feeling" of the city.

The HARVEST THIS YEAR IS VERY GOOD. The cattle and sheep are very strong, and they are transported to the FACTORY in the afternoon.

Doomsday ResurgenceArchipelago · Ceremony

(2020) (2019-2020)

Under the general background of the current era, the ecology has suffered a certain degree of destruction. Experts speculate that the rise of sea level will threaten part of the scope of human activities in the future. We focus on the problem of rising water levels caused by global warming, and explore for decades, hundreds of When the water level rises over a period of 1 year or even longer, the "building" can make emergency possibilities. Can the structure achieve growth? This is our first consideration. Most of the buildings so far are in a state of immovability or growth. When a sudden tsunami comes, the waterfront cannot spontaneously respond to changes in the environment. When a building is destroyed, it cannot be Bless the people who are "bound" by the building. Life has growth. They are often tenacious, constantly adapting to the environment to survive and evolve. Borrowing from the adaptability of life is the analogy research direction of Doomsday Archipelago. We choose kombucha as the experimental observation object, because the colony is observable and controllable, and the trend of activity is more intuitive, giving the bacteria a certain external Stimulus is analogous to sudden natural disasters, and different responses to different stimuli are observed. The appearance and combination are summarized and mapped to form the final form and functional partition of the design, so that the waterfront design building group has a certain forward-looking, based on the horizontal plane Change to a certain "growth" to adapt to different emergency functions at different stages.

BRIDGE DESIGN

Bridge is a special building. It is built on the water and does not occupy people's productive land resources. Crossing the bridge is a public activity that every nearby resident will participate in. Regardless of class, rich or poor, the bridge is "a public open space where people gather and disperse, circulate and stay". It accepts all kinds of cultures and shows various cultures at the same time. It is an inclusive existence.

Based on the investigation and study of the overall situation of Cairo, this paper focuses on the consideration of "public open space". It considers the different use methods of space under different scales, the superposition and combination of space and the mutual combination of functions. the relationship between different spaces. as to find a way to flexibly combine and integrate functions, and to create a space that can be arranged and moved according to the needs of different scales "Bridge", to meet people's different public activities for different scales of space needs.
