TIME:2020—2024

Preface

When I was a child, I always loved to use a paintbrush and camera to record architectural scenery, so I had the dream of "creating" and embarked on this path.I have always believed that architecture is inseparable from the region, people, history, and culture. However, contemporary urban architecture often crudely focuses on preset functions, shapes, economies, etc., ignoring the specific needs of "people" themselves. I hope that architecture can be both an existence that achieves the goal of use, and a creation that is subtly settled on the ground, conforms to the local temperament, and can arouse the understanding and resonance of the target group. Using space to present, preserve, and circulate scenes of people's lives, and to bring people a sense of pleasure and identity, is not only my understanding of the "spirit of place", but also the intention I want to convey through my works.

The Spiral of Life

——Chengdu Yulin Road Residential Area Design

Design Statement

With the development and expansion of cities and the influx of more and more foreign populations, various conflicts inevitably arise between indigenous people and new citizens.The purpose of this design is to explore a residential model that is conducive to the harmonious mixing of different types of people and effectively improves the sense of well-being in the high-density old city.

Residential Module

Concept of Design General Layout 1:3000

The prototype of the design concept comes from the double stranded structure of DNA, just like the double helix formed by two deoxyribonucleic acid chains attracting each other through hydrogen bonding between bases. Different types of residential units are rotated and stacked, and connected by shared spaces. While reducing mutual influence, it preserves the bond of various resident communication activities.

Ground Floor Plan 1:1000

The residential area consists of an underground garage, public and commercial spaces on the first and second floors, and four residential buildings on the upper floors. The public platform not only provides a shelter from wind and rain below, but also creates a sufficiently large gathering area for residents.

MEETING GREEN HILLS

——Design of the Poetry Museum in Huanhua Creek Park

Design Statement

The Huanhua Creek has a deep connection with the famous ancient Chinese poet Du Fu. During his years of disappointment, Du Fu lived in a thatched cottage here and created many timeless poems. This design aims to combine the diverse terrain and favorable natural environment within the park, and translate Du Fu's life experiences and thoughts through space.

Mapping

The Huanhua Creek Park is adjacent to Du Fu's former residence and is connected by the winding Huanhua Creek. The park is dotted with famous works from different eras and authors, creating a strong cultural atmosphere. The raised mound "Wanshu Mountain" on the southwest side of the park is the highest point in the area, with lush trees, making it a suitable location.

Architectural Design

The exterior of the museum is designed with reference to the rolling mountains, combined with the undulating slope of the site itself. The spatial composition adopts the form of a courtyard, enclosing a transparent and nature-friendly atrium in the center.

Spatial translation of emotions

The four exhibition halls corresponds to the four stages of Du Fu's life.I try to translate the realistic stories and self-feelings expounded in his poems into spatial language.

Teenage years: Kept Reading and traveling

The rendering shows the overall picture when the rain and clouds are gone. The building is semihidden in the hills and forests, and blends in with the surrounding terrain and natural environment, forming a beautiful and harmonious picture.

Scenes of the Exhibition Space

01 Interesting Landscapes

With a transparent and vibrant space, it depicts the time when Du Fu was a teenager, traveling all over the world, enjoying the rivers and mountains, and being full of spirit.

02 Confusion of the Career

Stone booths protrude from all sides, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere. A little Light in the darkness symbolizes Du Fu's state of mind that he was unwilling to go along with the darkness of officialdom.

03 Exiling Because of Wars

The use of staggered boxes, tortuous paths, and sharp and alien-shaped structures create a scene where Du Fu was forced into exile during the Anshi Rebellion.

04 Passing away with Regret

The open space connects people with heaven , earth and nature. Death is not the point, life returns to the world, and the spirit and emotions are perpetuated with the Psalms.

of the Old City

——Urban Renewal Design of Zhenru Town, Shanghai

Design Statement

As China's population continues to age, the proportion of the population over 60 years old, especially in large cities, has risen to well over one-third. The lack of physical and psychological needs of this large group deserves the attention of society. This project focuses on the typical aging environment of the old city in the suburbs of large cities, and constructs a plan for the goal of "urban renewal design to help the elderly reintegrate into society and maintain interpersonal relationships".

Before losing mobility, there are still many possibilities to get old. Young people find social value and self-satisfaction...

Hah,The growth of the greenery is very gratifying.

CHANGZHENG TOWN

In general, the site area retains more of the original traditional Shanghai life picture, but at the same time, it also brings the point that the infrastructure is not perfect, the ecological construction is lacking, and the social governance is still chaotic.

Main Street and River Sectional Views

Concept of Design

Through site analysis and on-site research, I have identified two strip urban spaces with potential and significance for transformation, namely the east-west urban branch road on both sides of Beishi Road and the north-south river on the Taopu coast. These two belts connect the public service spaces and important landscape nodes in the site area.

Landscape Space

Basic Blocks and Functional Spaces

I decided to use the 3*3*3 as the basic scale of the space to combine different functional spaces, interspersed into the urban void. It mainly uses the corners of some streets and the overhead floors of buildings.

Design of the urban park

The design of the park combines the green space with a height difference of about 1.5 meters above the river, and a hydrophilic platform is set up on the bank.

THE FLOWING RIVER

——Design of Chengdu

Jincheng Lake Kindergarten

Design Statement

Children are very interesting. It seems that the vitality is inexhaustible, the curiosity to explore the world, the imagination is unlimited... The design scheme of this kindergarten project is to try to partially substitute the thinking of young children combined with the design concept of running water foam to create a rich and varied space experience for children.

Space Design

In the process of designing the interior space of the building, excavation and cutting techniques were mainly used. Spheres of varying sizes symbolize floating and shattered 'bubbles', creating diverse public activity spaces through their combination.

The sectional drawing clearly and intuitively shows the spatial form of the teaching building, with classrooms separated by courtyards of different sizes, shapes, orientations, and themes. Internally, there are slides, climbing spaces, public seats, natural water pools, etc., providing ample and diverse activity space for children.
