ACKNOWLEDGEMENT For me, learning architecture and urban design is like traveling, sometimes you need to enjoy this long process, enjoying different views with different people. I would like to appreciate my architect parents who have taken the architecture into my life since my birth. Thanks to all the professors I have met, especially, Xiaochun Yang, Zhihang Luo, Rongren Tsai. Thanks for their support which made me more confident in myself and firmed my vision. Thanks to all the team members I have worked with. Thanks for that time we spent together to achieve our goals .

RETURN SPACE TO CAMPUS This site is in a place where professors and students must pass by when they go to the class. The original base was a wasteland, but it naturally formed a road that has been trampled by people for a long time, so that people could pass quickly. Therefore, retaining the original path of the ground has become the main concept. It is aimed that this design will not destroy the original flow lines, making the architecture more friendly and providing more public space for the campus.

THE WINDOW OF CAMPUS The site is located in the northwest corner of the Shenzhen University campus, which is in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, and it is near the south side of the campus. Compared with other exhibition halls on campus, the difference in this campus art museum is that it is open to the public, served as a bridge between Shenzhen University and the society. It provides a place for art exhibitions, art production and communication of relevant art and humanities organizations from society, and even provides citizens surrounding some volunteer community services, such as children art workshop. Thus, it is an open window, a platform, that allows more communications happen between different social groups.

PASS AND STAY In order to retain the path on the ground, in design, the main building was lifted up, and the floor space was returned to the campus. The grey space created provides people with a comfortable space for rest and communication. Additionally, based on the original fast passing flow, a slow roaming flow pluged in enables people to stay longer in this site. Forming the artist’s Loft into a village shape has brought the relationship between artists closer, as well as the relationship between artists and other social groups.

02 BEITOU MARKET DATE INSTRUCTOR SITE AREA LOCATION INDIVIDUAL WORK
April - May, 2016 Spring Rongren Tsai 3,254 m² Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan
IMPROVING SPACE PERMEABILITY This design is an old building renovation of Beitou Market. Located in the center of Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan, Beitou Market is situated in the same building as Administrative Center of Beitou District and Jifu Temple. However, there is a serious barrier between them, resulting in large-scale space wastage in Market, while there is no enough space for Jifu Temple to organize relevant religious activities. Therefore, this design aims to improve spatial permeability. To create a market that combines traditional customs and new lifestyles. While space could be more accessible, while ensuring a certain degree of privacy.

AN OVER-CLOSED BOX The market is located in the heart of Beitou District, in Taipei, Taiwan, with an easy access to some of the surrounding public attractions and schools. Besides, it has a convenient transportation because it is not only situated near the main road of the city, but also only 400 meters away from the Beitou MRT station, which increases the accessibility of the citizens. Moreover, the Beitou market is the same building as the administrative center of Beitou District and the Jifu Temple which plays an significant role in people's daily lives. However, due to the over-closed structure, the internal environment of the market is poor, such as poor lighting, no ventilation, and severe visual blockage. Therefore, more people prefer to act in the streets outside and last longer and the interior is relatively deserted.

BACK TO FUNCTION COMPLEX According to the historical evolution of the market, it is obvious to find that under the influence of technological development, the market is undergoing a change from functional combination to functional separation, then to functional recombination.

THREE ELEMENTS OF CITY It was found that the market was close to the dministrative center of Beitou District. Besides, a temple embedded in the building on the ground floor was discovered in the southeast corner, named Jifu Temple. This was very interesting because they were the three most important elements in the city. When they are located together which means that this place would tend to be the center for the people's various activities. The history of market demonstrated that the combination of market, administrative center and the temple was not an accidental event. Thus, I tried to find the origin of market - Agora in ancient Greece. In the comparison, the advantages of the Agora square were obvious, that were, the space was more coherent and had a strong sense of convergence. Compared with permanent buildings, squares were more malleable and more versatile.

NEW DEFINITION OF BORDER This design tries to answer the questions that, how will the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Twin Cities cooperate after the cancellation of China’s one-country, two-system policy in 2048? At the same time, how will the residents of Shenzhen and Hong Kong live in harmony? What will the physical boundary look like? The border, served as a place where the two cities meet, is full of contradictions and opportunities.
DIFFERENT INFLUENCES OF BORDER ON URBANIZATION According to the information from satellite maps, with the development of urbanization, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have different decisions on the border areas and its surroundings. While Shenzhen government seems to be inclined to focus on policies that are highly developed near the border areas, Hong Kong government prefers to keep it ecological. On the map, we find that, the urban centers of Hong Kong are mostly concentrated on the side of Victoria Harbour, while the areas near the Shenzhen-Hong Kong border have lagged behind and maintained the original ecological landscape. The frontier closed area (next is referred to as FCA) established by Hong Kong had played a greatly significant role.

COOPERATION AND CONFILCT The story of the border began in 1842, when the Qing government of China signed the Treaty of Nanking" and ceded Hong Kong Island. In the following 136 years, such a physical boundary has brought about plenty of political conflicts between the two places. Fortunately, since China's reform and opening up, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have an improving relationship and become more cooperative in policy and transportation. However, the social and cultural conflicts between the residents in Shenzhen and Hong Kong have worsened, such as misunderstanding, blaming each other, and even conflicting. GDP /Ten thousand yuan

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Shenzhen Bay port, a significant node connecting Shenzhen and Hong Kong, has a great number of visitors in daily and the site has an advantagous environment with beautiful sea view. However, now it has been a negative space for a long time due to the lack of infrastructures and space design, giving people no reason to stay. Besides, with the development of the city, land becomes precious but it surprises us that there is 70% of the land idle in Shenzhen Bay Port, which means that we have opportunities to do something meaningful. Facing such an opportunity and chanllenge, what we aim to do is linking the city to the coast , linking SZ to HK, linking high-tech to art, providing people both in SZ and HK with a healthy and interesting life in the future.
POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT Around the world, the world-class Bay Areas always play an important role in economic development. The collected data proves that the Great Bay Area of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau has the potential to develop into a world-class Bay area, no matter in terms of population, area or economic volume.

INSUFFICIENCY OF CULTURAL FUNCTION Comparing the current cultural development of the world's major Bay Areas, it's not difficult to notice that, the Great Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau is lagging behind which is quite different from the comparison of economic, and the number of its cultural facilities is small and its cultural influence ranking is very low.

It’s really hard to find a place to eat or take a break and the only restaurant is too expensive.
Sometimes we just want to find places to sit down, having a drink and waiting for friends.
Life is boring near Shenzhen Bay Port due to the lack of public space and facilities.
We usually spend four hours on going to school just for getting better education.

MAXIMIZA THE USE OF EXISTING RESOURCES A large amount of idle land was released, which provides us with a promising perspective in development. However, cleaning slate is not always the best way. In this project, our attitude is: use what we could use, preserving and utilizing
existing resources as much as possible, and return the released land to the city.
STEP1 CONSOLIDATING
Due to miscalculations of freight volume which made by the government in the past, a large amount of land is idle now. According to the existing data, we recalculated the demand of freight in the next decade and found that actually 70% of the land could be released, thus we need to compress and recombine the freight traffic line to meet the basic traffic
STEP2 DENSITY AGGREGATING
The large amount of released area was given new functions - commercial business and cultural entertainment. Due to the large number and different types of people passing through or walking around the Shenzhen Bay Port, there are many types of demand was presented. When multiple functions are placed in, the high density space could be helpful and improve the utilization rate of using the space.
STEP3 REFORMATE
Regarding the existing port transit facilities, demolition is not needed, since the port was just completed in 2007. However, its flaws in traffic flow design have caused serious traffic congestion at the entrance of the site. Therefore, we put different kinds of traffic into different layers, instead of the same layer which could be conducive to reducing the interference between them.
STEP4 THICKEN THE GROUND
Under the condition of ensuring the necessary freight space, in order to strengthen connection between the east and the west of the site, we thickened the ground by covering a roof above the freight area. When the city and the coastline were connected by public space, people would walk to the coast naturally. Additionally, the functions placed on the roof were cultural entertainment such as theaters, concert halls, art galleries, technology exhibition halls, etc.

INTERMODAL HUB In order to solve the congestion, multi-layered transportation lines were used instead of the original one with single layer. Moreover, the number of exits for vehicle would be increased to reduce the pressure on the original main road. In addition, this design provided independent parking lots for city buses, taxis and tourist buses in order to reduce the interference.

VOLUNTEER IN FAN PAI VILLAGE The 20-day experience of being a volunteer in the Fanpai village (in Guizhou Province) means a lot to me. It taught me that every culture deserves to be respected and the society ought to be treated more benevolently, whether in life or in design. I remember that when we first arrived, the villagers admired us very much because we were educated. However, during the time I spent in the village , I found that everyone could be my teacher. This small village has its own language and customs which could never appear in city. People know and trust each other, even when they meet a stranger, they will give him a gift without hesitation. Besides, what I was most marveling at were the architectures created by themselves without professional study but were really amazing which I could never imagine.
All these photos were taken by myself.

EXPERIENCING THE COMMUNITY November to December in 2015, the seventh semester of the undergraduate period. Although the process of hand-painting was long, what was really interesting for me is that in this process, I had the opportunity to imagine every corner in the design and gave it a story like I had experienced by myself.
