Divide the block into two vertical parts according to the privacy of each function, with a sunken plaza at the center of the site, making a throughout hole.

Function Explosion with Flow Lines

Analyse the exact directions of visitors flow on the fundation of surrounding environment, using these flows to incise the whole block. Every entrance is cut into arc shape or mixed-arc shape.

From the first floor, choose the position where may create a new perspective to have sightseeing of sunken plaza or surrounding streets. Make set back from the original block, forming additional platforms.

GROWING BOUNDARY

PROLIFERTAION OF CITY SCALE FROM SPRAWL TO CONTROLLED GROWTH--TAKING WUXI-CHANGZHOU AS EXAMPLE

Proliferation of Chinese city scale is a quite common and critical problem, originating from Beijing's planning scheme. This problem has already caused an urgent development conundrum beside the boundary of Wuxi and Changzhou, thus how to grow in a controlled mode being a selectable solution.

REBIRTH - INDUSTRY HERITAGE

ADAPTIVE REUSE THEORY PRACTICE -- EVALUATE SPACE POTENTIAL AND ADAPT EACH SPACE TO SPECIFIC METHODS

Through the research field analysis, the transformation of industry heritage is determined to base on the basic theory of adaptive reuse, within which eight transformation methods are concluded and analysed. After deep learning into the correlated architecture case with specific methods, every genres of the space in the factory are evaluated from their characteristics and value, then matched with the optimal methods.

SITE-SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTION

AIMING AT DEMANDS AND LIVING STATES OF SPECIFIC NATIVES COMBINED WITH ORIGINAL FRUSTRUCTURE AND EXISTED TERRAINS

Homogenization design has indicated a sprawl tendency in community design field, especially for public space group. This program is focused on the native's real demands, trying to combine the existing frustructure and terrains. To make interactivity realisable, specific construction procedure and related knots are also given.
