Module Fusion

09.2019 ~ 12.2019

Project : Civic Center

Total area : 25350 sqM

This is a fourth-year school project. Located in Baishan region, Beijing, the civic center contains a library, two indoor stadiums, a theater and a children's activity center. It's the first time that I design architecture in such a large scale, and with such complicated functions. In this project I created a designing 'rule' and followed it strictly, which is to confirm the area of functional space first, which is the Module, and then focus on sculpturing the public space, in this case, the traffic core, and with the insertion of the cores, the rooms have to transform to maintain at the same area, and by this the room is being changed into unexpected shapes.

Using this method, I was able to create lots of interesting public or traffic space while not disturbing the function rooms. The inserted traffic core also connects different parts together, which is the Fusing process.

Placing 4 parts of the brief into the site by the shape of cubes. Make traffic connections between those sections.

Massing the brief into cubes, and arrange them in an order, create inner courtyard.

Fusing different sections, the library and children's hall were fused together and torn apart again in another way. Inserting the cores to fuse different parts further, and meanwhile create interesting public spaces.

The function is arranged reasonably, a large atrium space is set aside, and a passage is connected to ensure the continuity and concentricity of traffic as well as public space.

The connection between the atrium is not strong enough. So, two sections which were originally arranged separately were fused together. Insert the traffic core to connect two pavilions.

The traffic core is deformed following the fire evacuation code (adjust the radian of the staircase). With the insertion, the original area of the rooms and corridors were invaded, Offset the edge of the core to form new corridors, then enlarge the room with the shape of the aisle, to keep the area as the brief required.

The public part of the building are 4 new layers of the city, which consist of three layers of 'buildings' and one for landscapes. The well-used wavy floor slab takes people away from their daily life for a whole new experience, the peaks and valley created atriums that indistinct the floors, also generate some natural split-levels for new green spaces.

Meanwhile, I also focused on the creation of interesting space and elegant landscape. In this project I looked at how to create artificial layers of city and nature. The design reflects my thoughts development of the city, and the ways we go next.

Mass the project cubes. The function of the studio, theater and commercial uses were put on the ground floor.

Connect the Kaide mall with my project. Make holes on the floating structure, to provide adequate sunlight for the road below.

Divide the cube into three floors, and also add another layer to the connecting structure.

Adjust the form of structure. Create a wavy floor for the podium, and add atriums for a 'break' from the boring texture in this part of the city

High Rise Residential Plan

The residential part is mainly divided into two categories: serviced apartments and hotels, which are divided into ordinary, artistic, economic, youth and other styles for different users.
