I.Gravity of Light
Abstract The most impressive thing about architecture in Huizhou is its courtyard space.This prototype has a very strong organic growing system, where courtyard as the core of the basic settlement space are constantly replicated, combined and connected with the external environment. Couryard? Traditional or Contemporary Museum? Landmark or Accomodation

VOLUME? In this design, I reflect on whether a normal method of Volumn Occupation in contemporary museum is suitable everywhere, especially for an ancient village, inserting a HUGE VOLUME in the nature environment could be a disaster. Thus, how to cope with the loacal environment and surrounding tranditional residence to the maximum turn to be the focus of this design.
FROM COURTYARD TO SPACE The site Wuyuan city is a place where traditional method of courtyard establishing and small-scale pattern preserves quite well. Chances are that when you step into a normal local residence, you may be astonished by the space of inner courtyard. Light, Scale together with Materials seem to play a fasinating stage drama here.

Model Study Section is the start point. By studing on various kinds of sections occurs in the works by Baeza and local residence in Wuyuan, I want to figure out the prototype in courtyard space. The form of section may direct the sightline of people, develop different senses of atmosphere and lead the circulation line.

Rebuild Community Life —Senior Nursing Centre Location:Nanjing,China Type:Academic/Individual Year:2013/1st semester of junior year Duration: 2 Months Instructor:XIA Bing (summice@163.com)
II.Rebuild Community Life
Abstract How to solve a series of social problems in a messy community by inserting a Senior Retreat Centre,includes the elderly caring problem,the lack of open space,the overloaded and unsecured traffic situation. This is a people-oriented design. This is a brave try to illuminate the community.

RESIDENCIAL
I.SITE: The site is located in a high-density residence, with narrow streets and nearly no public area. How to balance the right and benefit of various groups of people become the core of this project. II.TREES: Six old trees coincidently grow in the heart of the site. Through preserving these old trees, it will become an active place to attract those people who have lacked public area in a long term. III.PATH: Each school day parents go to take their children, at the same time the back street become extremely crowded.Creating a new path from the kindergarden to the highstreet seems to be rather necessary. IV.PUBLIC: The ground floor arrangement show a friendly attitude towards the surrounding neibourhood, for they can get easy access to the open space inside this site. V. RESIDECIAL: On the upper level, all the residence was placed here.The volum occupy the boundary of this site in order to maximize the space of central courtyard.

III.Space Reversal
Abstract Bringing live to the old building is the topic of this project.Space Reversion occurs not only in the form of physical space, inside to outside, but in the exchange of function. Inserting new function into the old building to make use of long-span space, while the new one plays as supporting roles. A blur place and strong contrast show in this project.

Inside & Outside —Urban Renovation of Dali City
Location:Dali, China Type:Academic/Group work(partner:Dai,Qiao) Role:Leader/Research,Diagram,Rendering,Guideline,Physical Model Year:2015/2nd semester of senior year Duration: 2 Months Instructor:WANG Jianguo (Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering)
IV.Inside & Outside
Abstract This project focuses on an urban renewal of North reservoir in Dali City,and the concept of 'Inside and Outside' means we want to ignite the vitality,creating a green loop of this certain area which was used for a large stage performance named Eye of Dali.This design also contains the site design and the waterfront landscape. We start from changing the priority of public transit mode,Cycle Oriented Development (COD), to creat a ideal low-carbon community.

CHINA
Dali City located in the middle of the Yunnan Province by the Erhai Lake is gaining more and more popularity. The beautiful nature, the nice climate and the relaxed atmosphere is be loved by the locals as well as by many tourists, which attract a lot of people to move there every year. YUNNAN
DALI
That’s why the government wants to develop a district around an old water reservoir in the northern part of the ancient city, now used as a open air musical stage called “the eye of Dali”. However the damage to the natural beauty of this site and the poor running condition of this performance push the local government to set this national competition for the old water reservoir.

During the past decades, the trip mode of local people has changed a lot, from agricultural civilization to high mechanization. We focus on the circulation system, including the road situation, main transportation mode and share. An ideal system we imagine is a Low-pace, Low-carbon Mode, which can be interpreted into a Cycle Oriented Development (COP) public transit system.

Puxian Temple is a important heritage and cultural place in this site. In this design, INSIDE green loop plays as the role of a connection between Cycle Hub and Puxian Temple. We would like to turn this area into the highlight point to attract more tourists and bring live to this site. Various types of renovation of local residences are provided. Commercial functions are inserted into these old buildings, follows bookstores, cafes, hostels, and tranditional restaurants. Additionally, several places of public open space take place of the previous endangered houses.

WHY SMA?
SMA spring is made of metal alloy of nickel and titanium which exhibit two closely related and unique properties: shape memory and superelasticity. Shape memory is the ability of nitinol to undergo deformation at one temperature, then recover its original.
WHY ARDUINO?
ARDUINO processor is a platform that provides the easy method to connect physical devices and computer sripts.
