01 Restoration Courtyard
Ke Qu
Work Site: Beijing,China Instructor: Meizi Li Time: 2025.4-2025.9
This project is a course design that intends to establish a location in Beijing, China, where vulnerable members of society can unwind, heal, and receive treatment. Violence, natural disasters, and emotional neglect have caused irreversible harm in today's fastpaced society, leaving many unmet needs among those affected, including social disconnection, obstacles in public facilities, and inadequate care and treatment.
Through architecture, the design aims to address these groups' psychological and physical needs. With its features of enclosure and communal interaction, the traditional courtyard (Siheyuan) offers a spatial model of healing and care. The project transforms architecture into a medium of support and communal living by reinterpreting this typology within the framework of modern demands, creating an open and inclusive complex where communication, companionship, healing, and learning naturally occur.
People In Need
Relaxation Space
Two residential units are connected by a corridor to form one integrated area, with a green space in between and accessible pathways provided.
Public Activity Space
The open space between the psychological therapy room and the medical room serves as a public activity area, where people can practice tai chi or relax in the shade.
Reading Lounge
Larger windows are placed on the sun-facing side to enhance natural light, creating a more comfortable environment for reading and relaxation.
Second-Floor Lounge
The second-floor leisure space provides better sunlight exposure, encouraging social interaction and strengthening connections among people.
02 Equine Training Complex
Group Work Team Member: Ke Qu, Jiayi Shang Site: Liebestadt, a village in Dresden, Germany Academic Project, Instructor: Yu Zhai Time: 2024.9-2024.12
This project investigates how an equestrian centre can blend in with a mountainous setting without changing the topography. The architecture follows the natural topography because the design is integrated into the slope rather than producing a single dominant structure.
The project is accessible while maintaining the separation of professional functions thanks to the arrangement of training spaces, stables, and public areas along a continuous, terraced path. In addition to extending the hillside, the green roofs enhance thermal efficiency and rainwater retention.
The project transforms a conventionally closed facility into an open space for learning and experience by linking training, viewing, and educational spaces through a clear circulation system.
LIEBSTADT - This small town located in the southeastern part of Saxony was once an important base for agricultural and forestry activities in East Germany. The estate is located on the edge of the forest, surrounded by forests on three sides and facing open grasslands and ponds on one side, with rich landscape layers. There are ancient horse stables and agricultural buildings preserved nearby,
Regional culture and history - The surrounding areafeatures typical German mountain villages, providing richcultural and tourism potential.
Equestrian sports-Highlighting horse trainingand professional riding activities as the progject's corefunction.
Topography and landscape-The surrounding mountainsand lake shape the site's natural character and inspire thebuilding form.
Community gatherings-Opportunitiesfor public events and festivals, enhancing theproject's social role.
Riding and education-Horseback riding asleisure and educational activities for visitors and thecommunity.
Articulation Public amenities open toward the road on the ground floor, while the upper level frames the arena and audience seating, drawing the surrounding forest into the viewing experience. Educational programs transform the venue into a place of learning and discovery, merging equestrian practice with encounters with nature.
This two-story equestrian center combines professional equestrian training with public performances, creating a “vital equestrian venue in symbiosis with the environment.” The cylindrical volume responds to both function and context, giving the project a strong spatial identity.

Equestrian Center
This two-story equestrian center combines professional horse training with public shows, creating a dynamic space that blends teaching and hands-on experiences. Visitors can also enjoy dining, exhibitions, and retail areas, making the venue both educational and recreational.
03 Senegalese Primary School
Ke Qu
Africa's education problems are getting worse. In Senegal, rural primary schools often don't have enough resources, which makes it hard for students to learn. For example, classrooms are too full, toilets aren't clean, and there isn't enough safe water. Also, the heat and bright sun make the campus less comfortable. The project begins by making educational resources better and incorporating the local culture and climate to make a campus that is open, shared, and long-lasting.
The design takes into account the direction of the wind and the sun, which creates well-ventilated courtyard layouts with shaded corridors that keep the inside cool and make it more comfortable. There are more classrooms and bathrooms, as well as purification systems to meet basic needs. The school was built with local wood and corrugated metal to save money. It also has a band of ventilating louvers above the walls to make it more comfortable.
The roof is constructed with wooden roof sheathing beneath corrugated iron sheets.
Wooden purlins span between trusses to support roofing materials.

Outdoor Space
Vertical Contract World looks at how extreme cold and a lack of energy change the way space is organized. In this situation, urban systems have to grow up, putting survival, production, and control all in one building.
The project suggests a centralized, modular vertical structure that combines living spaces, energy systems, and ways to run them. This model makes it easier for the environment to adapt and for operations to run more smoothly, but it also makes enclosure, hierarchy, and control stronger, showing how power and resources build up around a few key areas.
Architecture is generated not by form-making, but by environmental constraints, functional demands, and systemic rules. Standardized modules are stacked and rearranged according to a single logic, which creates a very strict spatial order. As height rises, density diminishes, and access becomes increasingly limited, creating a vertical gradient of authority.
