WORKS FROM 2006 TO 2010

Wetland Museum Design National Students Design Competition, 2010

Xixi Wetland is located in Hangzhou. It is now being protected by the local government. People have already built some eco-residencial buildings in this area. The pictures in the left shows the evironment of the site.

Hardened surface prevents water penetrat ion, and separate the space which is not proper for bio-activity. Th e re f o re, t h e wa t e r-permeable pavement is adopted, which ensures the stabilization of land and water resource, so a balanced state could be maintained for the wetland.

Considering all the elements above, I chose this kind of form to make a design.

Firstly, I try to avoid damaging the wetland by decrease the size of interface between the building and the earth. Secondly, the shape can adjust to the environment.

Any human ac t i v i t i e s , espec i a l l y construction activities, will damage the wetland. Therefore, to protect the wetland, we must decrease the size of the surface of earth that covered by the building.

From the two drafts, we can see from the comparison that the right one is suitable for the situation.

I n H e m u d u S i t e, C h i n e s e archeologists found the ruins of some buildings built about 6000 years ago. They called them “Ganlan”, this kind of building style passed from generation to generation and affect traditional Chinese residential houses. The advantage of “Ganlan” house is that it prevent insects and snakes from moving inside.

To Protect The Wetland

Wetland Museum Design

As the pictures showed by software Ecotect, at some height, the natural lighting is not enough, so I have to design some other lighting devices to make up.

Wetland Museum Design

Functional UnitsTh e b u i l d i n g i s made up by seven similar units. Each unit has two parts, one is for exhibition on the second floor and the other one is used for office and service. Inside each unit, spaces are set around a transparent channel which connects the air above the roof and that below the floor.

To protect the wetland, most automobiles are not allowed to park in the area. Therefore, the des ign o f the bu i ld ing encourages transportation by boats. Cargos are unloaded at the Transportation Dock.

The first questions, what will the users do in a college library?

We may th ink o f s tudy ing sc ience, read ing books o f l i terature, l is tening to the music, watching movies and doing homework with the help of books. The simplest way for architects to design a library is to think about each space separately, for example, in a independent block, and then connect them together. I see it as a kind of SPACE BLOCK design.

Another question, what kind of blocks should them be? In other words, what shall we feel inside the blocks? Here, I am trying to strengthen people’s feeling of the space by using different colors, so that they can easily recognize the differences of different spaces.

Finally, I chose white, grey, black, yellow and brown as the main colors for that white and grey create peaceful feelings, yellow and brown make people exciting, and black can be used in spaces like movie centers and stair wells.

When t he b l o c k s a re connected together, they are just like floating in a 3 dimensional world.

College Library Design

The process of connecting all the blocks together will cause altitudinal diversity, which will enrich the feelings of different spaces.paces.College Library Design

Since the library is designed as a combination of different blocks, not that of different floors, there is no concept of floor inside the building.

The four plans above show how the blocks are connected and thus forming spaces for the users.

VELUX Competition 2010

In this project, our study and experiment is the development of a program focusing on how to bring adequate sunlight into underground passageways

Nowadays, with the development of cities’ traffic system; underground passageways have become more and more important in cities’ everyday life. However, due to people’s inadequate attention and their inherent characteristics, underground passageways can seldom perform the functions mentioned above in a satisfying way. The model we choose is the most ordinary underground passageway.

Through the research into the most ordinary program, I’d like to obtain common experience of the design for natural light environment inside underground passageways, so that the result of our research can be used widely.

As the spark igniting the spirituality of space in passageways, sunlight is introduced through optical fiber and gets dispersed. Using this method we realize illumination by natural light in artificial environment underground. Optical fibers reset the way light travels. By making light travel along a curve, we can conduct sunlight into underground space.

We don’t follow the tradition that light is dispersed from the ceiling to the ground. On the contrary; we disperse light from the ground to the ceiling. By doing so, we achieve two goals. Firstly, the feeling of the special atmosphere is strengthened. Such a peculiar scene stimulates people’s senses and makes them excited. To be the next, with light under their feet, pedestrians can perceive the process in which natural light travels from natural environment to artificial spaces. As they move forward, they can even hear sunlight’s breath, thus a more direct connection between human and nature is established. Being a linear element itself, optical fiber can strengthen the guiding influence of such traffic spaces. The uneven arrangement of optical fibers also brings about a mutative effect to the illumination of the space, thus the even distribution of light and rigidity of space can be avoided.

Using this method, we create a floating mood and an atmosphere surrounded by light for pedestrians.

QINGDAO CATHOLIC CHURCHIt was designed by German architects during the Colonial Period, and it is the most important landmark of this area.

PARKSONIt is a big shopping mall in Zhongshan Road. The height is 212 meters. The tall building affects the skyline of the whole historic area.

ZHONGSHAN ROADIt is the oldest road in Qingdao and has a history of more than 100 years. It is the birthplace of Qingdao culture. It was once the center of Qingdao, but now is replaced by a new center in east Qingdao.

ZHANQIAO(TRESTLE)It was built in Qing Danasty, and was once a big terminal for ships. Now, it was the symbol of Qingdao, and everyday, it attracts thousands of tourists all over China.

Age

LAOSHE PARKIn 1930s, Qingdao was a center of new culture from western countries. Many artists and writers came to Qingdao including Laoshe, the famous writer. Near the house that Laoshe once lived in, people built Laoshe Park. The Park is now the center of the community. People, especially eldly people like to have a walk there. As a park full of green spaces, it is also the green lung for the community.

Before city design, we firstly made a survey of the district. The objects we chose were among local residents, businessmen and tourists.

According to the result of the survey, people who live in this area are not satisfied with the living condition, but they do not have the ability to make a change.

However, this historic district attracts tourists from all over the world. Most tourists, especially young people love the atmosphere here, although some of them complain for the poor traffic condition.

As for the businessmen, over 63% of them mainly sell commodities to tourists. Most shops can not last for more than 5 years.

From the pictures showed on the left, we can clearly see that, in China, the government affects the process of city transformation a lot. Although the government has great power, it must use it in a cautious way; otherwise it will cause serious social problems. The culture of the city needs citizens to inherit and pass from generation to generation. We must firstly nestle the local residents.

On the other hand, to increase the vigor of the old city, we must make industry replacement. Since the area, Laoshe Park area, is a cultural center of Qingdao, and the historic atmosphere attracts young people from everywhere, we think to develop creation industry is a reasonable strategy.

City Design

1. Most houses are used for dwelling, and some of them are for business and other public functions. That’s the original situation.

2. To develop new industry, the dwelling zones are moved to the rim of the area. Local residents can choose to live in the old house or a new one, with financial aid offered by the government.

3. With the development of the area, dwelling function will step by step be replaced by creation industry, and other relevant industry will appear in this area.

4. Finally, a neat creation industry area will appear.

There are three technical problems for us to solve.Firstly, how to design affordable housing that will not damage the historic atmosphere of the environment? Secondly, some functional blocks are put underground, how to do the lightening design?Thirdly, how to design parking facilities for the whole community? The pictures in the left page show our solutions.

Survey & Study Parking Situation In Qingdao Waterfront Area

The Olympic Center of Qingdao has its own parking-lot, the users and tourists can enjoy other services besides parking there. However, the parking spaces are not fully used. The reason may be that drivers do not know the existence of it or they do not know how to get there. A big shopping mall near the Olympic center has a similar situation.

In Badaguan area, drivers like to park alongside the roads instead of parking in some b ig park ing-lot. Since the roads in the historic district are not wide, and parking is forbidden in front of some bui ldings, the parking spaces are quite limited

Survey & Study

2010, Qingdao & YokohamaCooperator: Jian Xiaojin

Although different parking-lots are set for different kind of drivers, for example, tourists, officers, residents and so on, their parking ways are almost the same, that is, parking alongside the roads.

During my visit to Yokohama in Japan, I have seen their solutions to solve parking problems in waterfront area. Besides some important details of facilities, I also found the Yokohama's Big Wharf an advanced way to solve parking problems near the sea. It is also good for the environment by some ecological design.
