We thinks about creating a special performance space for the city, a stage for every citizen. So we came up with the idea of designing a courthouse, which is a government institution that presents reality shows that has significant influence on people’s daily life.

PROJECT 4 The cutting is too c ompl i c at e d , w h i c h i s obstacle for function organization and the movement of massing.
PROJECT 1 Patterns are lack of variety, which is not benefit to the richness of space organization.
PROJECT 2 T h e f or ms are c l e an as a whole. However, different cutting shapes is not convenient for the control of structure and function.
PROJECT 5 Space of the container is not enoug h to meet t h e re qu i re m e nt of an exhibition building.
PROJECT 3-1 PROJECT 6-1
Cutting pattern is concise. Still too ordinary because of the lack of variety for the whole configuration.
A fine pattern for its powerful sense as small pieces assembled together.
PROJECT 6-2
PROJECT 3-2 The pattern after cutting is suitable for the following design of park. Nevertheless, small scale is a limitation for the development.
The whole pattern has a huge limitation on the cutting mode, which lead the space to be scattered. Moreover, some parts are too small to perform fully function.

ACADEMIC WORK INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
The site is located in the historical part of Xiamen, where the lack of public space has dramatically limited the development of the location. In that, I hope the skyscraper could combine the urgently needed public space for citizen in the cultural part. At the same time, I wish the symbolic masterpieces could arouse architects' attention to the problem of architecture similarity in city development. The reason why I selected so many masterpieces is that I want to improve the identifiability of specific public space. And more importantly, these classical space represent typical spatial forms of specific public buildings. I want to test the possibility of mixing these program and spatial form in vertical. Even though it's a little radical and scare-free.

The aim of our project is to transform the articulation of different social groups, especially emphasizing the role of the street as a catalyst of social network. We regard street as a platform of social network. There are two main strategies which are architecture typological correction and urban squatting. We want to build a social housing network based on urban existing condition in order to transform the articulation of different social groups.

This building located at the seashore of Jiangmen which is a city famous for it's banian trees. So we use banian trees as the start of concept and abstract it as the form of column. And then , we link column together to generate the roof and open louver cooperate with colum to generate a lighting, forest-like interior space.
