01 Lines of Poetry in the Community ——A Public Community Center in Shanghai Team Work Member: Zhang Yipei / Yun Xiang Design 50% Drawings 50% Instructor: Peng Yuzhou Contact:andrewpengyz@outlook.com Date: 2019.8 Junior Year

The former community always developed inward, which built close relationships between neighbors and families. However, because of the modern form of community, people are living in a solitary lifestyle, so the connection and communication between people is reduced. In order to enhance the interaction between people, we want to add a small space in the modern community to attract people to come together and relax, to have activities and to connect emotionally. We used parallel walls to divide space, and part of the wall can be moved. The ground floor is a relatively open space, blurring the boundary between the building and the street. The second floor is enclosed as a small community library.

We want to write a line of poetry in the community, to create a place to store people's memories and activate the neighborhood.


02 Morandi's House 1945-2021 Research/Reconstruction/Transcription Team Work Member: Zhang Yipei / Zhang Fuhui Design 50% Drawings 50% Instructor: Zhang Nan Contact: Zhangnan_arch@163.com Date: 2020.3 Junior Year

Morandi is a famous Italian painter. He devoted his life to his beloved art. Morandi chose bottles, boxes, cans and ordinary life scenes as his creation objects. His paintings created a harmonious atmosphere. We chose some of his well-known paintings. By learning the organization of the objects, the lights and the composition of pictures, we can understand the rule of Morandi's way of painting. Then we use those rules to create a new collage picture. Then we added a box to his house and designed a unique route that can show the scene in our new picture.







No artist can achieve greatness merely by remaining at one end of the two extremes; Both extremes must be reached at the same time, and the medium space in both extremes must be filled. ——Giorgio Morandi


03 Reconstructing the Collective Memory ——New City Wall of Suzhou Personal Design Instructor: Hisham Youssef Contact: hiyoussef@suda.edu.cn Date: 2020.9 Senior Year

In ancient times, Suzhou has city walls to protect the city from enemies. However, nowadays, in struggle with urban development, such places are constantly weakened or torn down. In my design, I intend to find a foothold from the local context and form. My design is not just simply rebuilding the walls, but instead, I want to organically combine the customs and traditional culture with the contemporary society through the extraction and transformation of cultural elements. This project is to use a modern approach to echo the ancient city wall that once existed here and provide new possibilities so that the old memories and atmosphere will never perish.

Instead of static and abstract, context should dynamic and changing, showing the adaptability of the times and integrating into daily life.


04 Reconstruction of Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway Personal Design Instructor: Peng Yuzhou Contact:andrewpengyz@outlook.com Date: 2021.3 Senior Year

Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway are known as suburban tracks that run through mountains and valleys. However, due to the expansion of the city, it is located in the center of the city now. The railway track is abandoned while the overhead viaduct is added, which is not compatible with modernized scenes in the city. I tend to increase the new interaction between the old form and the surroundings through the reconstruction of the remain of the two-storey building in this place. At the same time, it can solve some problems existing in the site and activate the vitality of the surrounding community.

When a historical architectural form contradicted the urbanization process, let history stitch cities.
