In this portfolio I would like to express my point of view to the importance of taking position in architectural design through my academic experience, attempting to excavate intriguing interior spaces while designing architectural forms.

“Combining library and hotel in one building through the principle of going from public to private.”

This project is located by the riverside of Huangpu River in Lujiazui, Shanghai. The building is partly on land and partly floating on the Huangpu River. This building will utilize the relationship between the main building and the negative space to connect people’s activity space in the library, hotel and riverside.

The idea is to start the building from a point on the shore and radiate into the river according to the principle of order from public to private, while three in-between spaces are sandwiched between the four main buildings.

Three entirely different structural systems were designed for the canopies of these three different spaces, so that people on the ground can have different spatial feelings. They can read, learn, communicate and exercise. Because of the large horizontal span of the building, I designed different sky wells on three canopies according to the rules of the grid system, which can bring light and shadow effects to people while achieving top lighting.

At the same time, in the part of the hotel, I twisted the rooms at a certain angle, so that people in each room can no longer see the steel jungle behind them, but the river view. While people live in this building, they could visually away from the concrete jungle.

A Place that Could Make People’s life and Work Better

The site is located in Huangpu District,Shanghai, the most prosperous area in Shanghai. High-rises office buildings surround Huangpu River make this area a place of people gathering. In this high-density district, people who work and live here must suffer the high pressure of work and expensive rent, nonetheless they are still aggressive to improve themselves. So, a place that could balance their life and study is needed in this area. The “Library+Hotel” is proposed to respond to these social needs.

Let’s find a good hotel to live for 2 days instead of our tiny apartment, it would be better if there is a quiet work space so that I can have online meetings.

I’ve been sitting all day, I really want to find a place where I can do exercise, study as well, to prepare for my qualification exam.

If I’m not going to run business this weekend, I would go to a library to sit and study for days to improve myself, but I’m uncertain if there is a room to sleep in the library.

I can’t wait to go to a hotel where nobody could disturb me this weekend so that I can have a good rest.
