Architecture has always been a profound fusion of creativity and functionality, shaping the world we live in and reflecting the aspirations of culture, history and society. My passion for architecture stems from its ability to balance form and purpose, creating spaces that not only serve but also inspire. During my undergraduate studies at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and the University of Liverpool, I was immersed in various projects that emphasized the combination of human needs with innovative design solutions. These experiences have given me an understanding of how architectural design can address complex social and environmental challenges.
Some of my most notable projects include designing a radical residential complex for a small community in Liverpool, where I learned to integrate social needs into the functional and aesthetic residential environment. Additionally, I was involved in a tourism center project along the Mediterranean coast, where I explored the interaction between architectural design and natural landscapes. These projects honed my ability to balance creativity and practicality, and they gave me a profound understanding of the power of architecture to shape human experience.
I also gained practical experience through internships, such as my internship at the South China Branch of China Railway Shanghai Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. in Guangzhou, where I collaborated with local projects and integrated cultural and geographical diversity into architectural practice. These opportunities expanded my skills in both traditional and digital design tools, including AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, and Adobe software series, preparing me well for further studies in architecture.
The reason why I hope to pursue my master's degree at your esteemed institution is that it places a strong emphasis on sustainable urban design, which aligns perfectly with my career aspirations. This program's focus on equipping students with the skills to address global architectural challenges, such as sustainability and urban regeneration, has greatly inspired me. Through this program, my goal is to deepen my professional knowledge, explore innovative approaches, and contribute to the creation of environments that harmonize with cultural heritage and contemporary needs.
Ultimately, I aspire to become a highly skilled architect who bridges tradition and innovation to create inspiring and enduring spaces. Building upon the foundation provided by my projects, I aim to make meaningful contributions to the field of architecture and leave a lasting impact on the built environment.

Medical procedures and required functional areas Layout
Local festivals and major events for people
1. Place the basic volume of the building.
4. Adjust the size of each block to meet the actual needs, and at the same time, divide the outdoor space for separate use by each functional area.
2. Divide into three main functional areas and leave open spaces.
5. Increase the area of the intermediate maternity ward and provide a more private space for recuperation.
3. Considering the matching of local wind direction and the functional zones of the building, the rotating volume increases ventilation.
6. Add a sloping roof to adapt to the local environment.
