Struggle in Renovation

Umbrella reinvention installation exhibited in Shanghai & Hangzhou

Throughout the history of human kind, the frontiers always try their every effort to explore the boundaries of possibilities, which is the main reason, I think, that people’s life become better and better.

As an architect, I believe in the possibilities of renovations in all fields of architecture. No matter a change in form, or a tiny alter in program redevelopment, or an innovation that made to architecture become eco-friendly, renovations are the forces that drive us forward in human history.

But also, the change and the innovation should be deeply concerned with the existing situations, including context, environment, customs, current building techniques, etc. Any innovations that overlook the existing background might be a disaster.

This portfolio records my efforts to make a change in architecture design.

And I wish that through my efforts to make renovations, I could make a change, for a better place.

Umbrella Reinvention Pavilion Design

Exhibited in West Bund Art Center, Shanghai, China Property: Group Project led by Prof. Huang Mingjian Contribution: Parametric Solution, Structure Analysis, Diagram,Video Location: Hangzhou & Shanghai Date: 2015.09-2015.11 Instructor: Huang Mingjian

Traditional hand-make umbrella has its unique history value and folk wisdom. And I am especially amazed by the dynamic spacial transition when you open the umbrella. In this design, through digital tools, we want to realize that kind of feeling of transition into our design.

We first focused on the module, and then we develop this module into a dynamic system, which provide people with a dynamic poetic space.

Umbrella has been a long time used as a space for covering in Chinese history.

We can find a lot of scenes in painting that record the way people relax under the umbrella. Umbrella played a very big role in people's life. While in nowadays, we still see some fantastic umbrella design, but somehow, these design loses its traditional identity or being too sticky to the tradition form, which leading to boring repetition.

In this project, we want to add something interesting into traditional umbrella design.

And we found that the spatial transition when you open the umbrella is a really dynamic and fluid feeling, which we wish we could add into our new design.

Exhibited in Shanghai West Bund Art Center, during Jan 2016 to March 2016

Exhibited in Chinese Folk Museum in Hangzhou

This is a design which we especially focus on the relationship between city and architecture. This is a urban culture complex, which we wish it could simulate a city vortex that could involve more people with cultural related activities. As for the design generation, we adopt digital tools to simulate the city field, after which we apply it to the architecture design as well.

Concept & Generation Process In this design, we try to utilize the existing urban context to drive the design. We figure out a generation process which we called city field. We ran the simulation of city with many conditions, with building blocks, landscape, and so on. Then, in terms of building formation, we want to represent the idea onto our design, and at the same time, we manually introduce a pass way through which pedestrian could get a short cut to our building. The third column of diagrams shows how the building is generated and evolve.

Knowledge Space Design Digital Design Studio

Property: Individual Academic Work Location: Hangzhou Date: 2016.05-2016.06 Instructor: Prof. CHEN Lin

Nowadays, things have changed. Knowledge space no longer stands for library, but also space for various types of media. By emphasizing the movement and fluidity inside the building, I wish I could make abundant activities possible in this building, yielding jollification to surrounding area.

This is a design which we especially focus on the relationship between people and installation. By placing the interactive installation balloon on the path of Yueya building, we could offer a different experience when people walk through it. Also, the form of the installation is defined by the people's movement, which means it is a piece of art work that accomplished with audience.

Tensegrity Structure Exploration

Fascinated by tensegrity structure, I started exploration of tensegrity structure in this structure design course. Thanks to the structure feature of tensegrity structure, I could run the particle-spring c# code in grasshopper. By simulating, we finally reach the final design.

In-Between

Young Bird Plan Competition 2015

Property: Group Work Role: Team Leader Contribution: Concept 50%, Digital Model 60%, Diagram 80%, Rendering 100% Collaborator: HU Mengying Location: Shekou, Shenzhen Date: 2015.08 Instructor: Prof. CHEN Fan

This is a design that concentrates on the spacial relationship between space and space. The idea first come from the fishing boat metaphor. Then through architectural methods, we finally reached our final design. Through this proposal, we wish people can feel that kind of in-between feeling in our design.

Concept & Generation Process We tried to seek some clue from history in this design. If we date back the history, Shenzhen used to be a village where people feed on fishing. In contrast, Shenzhen is a international city now. Under this circumstance, we expected a public building that could bring up the old memory of the fishing age.

We took the fishing boats which usually could be seen before 1976 as a spacial prototype for research. After that, we made a translation into modern architecture. The boat becomes architecture. Sea turns into the walls and the columns.

CAA Graduation Pavilion

Property: Group Work Role: Parametric Solution Contribution: Digital Model, Structural Analysis Location: Hangzhou Date: 2016.05 Instructor: Prof. HUANG Mingjian

This project is Chinese Academic of Art graduation open ceremony pavilion. I am involved in the digital part, that is to have the correct digital model which later they could construct later. The design has several versions. Finally the client decide that the current design meet their meet. It is really a fantastic experience to see something built up during my undergraduate years. And it is more pleased to see CAA students really enjoy this pavilion.

Design Site is a existing factory area, which allow us to make three courtyard within the site. In my proposal, I focus on the relationship between solid and void.

Photography I have been fond of photography and hand drawing ever since I am in the elementary school.

And these are some of the selected photos and hand drawing that recorded world's beauty.

Acknowledgment Deepest gratitude to Prof. Sawako Kaijima, Prof. Qi Shanshan, Prof. Huang Mingjian, and Prof. Chen Lin. You have been enlightening throughout the time and sharing your unique perspectives. And also thanks my friend and my teammates who inspire me so much. It is a really good experience to study with you all.
