DEMOGRAPHIC SURVEY INTERVIEE DEMAND
The factory closed down and the workers were laid off.
Some employees moved away, and nearby office workers and retirees moved in.
Retirements
The residence where we live lacks green space for stay. I hope the community can organize some collective activities for the elderly to make our elderly life more colorful.
I am an entrepreneurial college student renting a house here, and I hope there can be 24-hour catering and activities around me on weekends.
Employees and family members.
The community belongs to factory unit housing.
The population is diversified. There are retirees, office workers, businesses, students and children.
The factories around the community were replaced by high-rise houses and business districts.
After school, I want to ride my bike to the park with my friends. Maybe I can have a picnic and fly kites with my parents on weekends.
Children
I often work overtime and come home late. It would be nice if there were some snack bars or fast-food restaurants nearby.

Over the past decades, China's rapid urbanization and industrialization process has led to the development of cities and the strength of industries. However, the imbalance between urban and rural development has become increasingly prominent. The rural population is seriously drained, hollow villages are slowly increasing, and villages are gradually declining. This project aims to make the countryside regain its charm, so that the Chinese culture hidden in the countryside can continue and rise. The Chinese tea culture has a history of more than 4000 years, so the famous Tongziyuan Village of Enshi City, the origin of green tea with unique ethnic culture, was selected for the design. Here we explore the integrated development of tea culture, rural customs and tourism, so that the industry can flourish and the village can be revitalized. I wish there were more places to visit nearby.
SITE LOCATION
TOPOGRAPHY ANALYSIS
The south, west and east of the village are steeper. The middle part of the village is relatively gentle, which is suitable for construction here.
There are few sunny slopes in the village, which are less than 20%. On the contrary, there are about 80% shady slopes, half shady slopes and half sunny slopes.
There are mountains in the south, west and east of the village, with the highest elevation difference of 825 meters. There is a east-west river in the north, and the whole village fluctuates obviously.
TOURISM STATISTICS SURVEY
Tea is a kind of medicinal plant. Its medicinal function is to detoxify.
People began to plant tea widely.Tea entered the upper class and was mostly used for noble sacrifice and Taoist cultivation.
VILLAGE TEA INDUSTRY
Chinese tea culture has taken initial shape, with a large number of tea books and poems.
ANALYSIS

Upgrading Agricultural and forestry industry
The village not only develops leisure agriculture such as sightseeing flower fields and fruit tree picking gardens, but also deep-processing tea and building supporting factories and facilities. Encourage villagers to plant economic fruit forests such as jujube trees and carry out diversified business models.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
Combing tourism and agriculture industry
The tourism landscape should be combined with the local agricultural development, and the content with local characteristics should be developed to enhance the interactive experience of tourists, so that tourists can fully experience the local folk culture and industrial culture.
Introducing Cultural and creative industry
Combining cultural and creative industries with the regional characteristics, national culture and tea culture of the village, develop home stay, commerce, processing industry to develop characteristic experience projects, such as handicraft workshops, tea culture experience, souvenir making, etc.

DESIGN FRAMEWORK
The village is divided into three parts: comprehensive service area, tea culture experience area and ecological leisure area. A main public service axis runs through the whole village from north to south. Along the road, there are not only post offices, clinics, tourist centers, committees, etc. that meet the needs of people's daily life, but also squares for people to rest and exhibition halls that display the village's culture and history. The facilities and tourist attractions of the village are mainly distributed in the middle of the village, which are well connected by circular tourist routes.
On the north side of the road, there are Forest Park and a bustling folk commercial street where people can experience tea culture, make relevant handicrafts and experience local ethnic culture. Through the tea fields, shoal parks, riverside landscape belts and large forests in the middle, people can come to the tea product processing plants, squares and tea industry learning classrooms in the south. The traditional buildings and houses along the road here can make people more deeply understand the local culture.

DESIGN SCENARIOS
First, on the north side, a landscape square is built in the commercial area based on the existing terrain, with a large number of landscape steps. People can rest in the square, take a cool breath, or hold speeches, celebrate festivals, etc. Second, the development of B& B hotel industry in the business district relies on traditional buildings to facilitate tourists to shop, eat and experience the local culture. Next, a square is mainly built for local residents to meet their daily activities and communication in the south. The square is flat inside, where people can play chess, chat, rest, dance, exercise, etc. Finally, encourage to build new tea product processing plants, which can not only produce tea mechanically, but also develop tea by-products, such as medicine, essential oil, soap, etc.

Gender-neutral Restroom Design
Competition / Group Project / 2022.10-2022.11
I was responsible for the development of gender-neutral restroom, site analysis, generation and organization of concepts, design and production of axonometric drawings and plans, deepening of later effect drawings and production of some models.The project was located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, a surfing destination and lgbt-friendly community that maintains tens of thousands of visitors each summer. A new gender neutral bathroom has been built in the area to create a safer and more comfortable environment.We put forward the concept of elimination, which aims to break the society's cognition of gender, eliminate people's discrimination against different genders and call on people to treat everyone fairly.
Good vision Public space Parking lot Driveway Walkway Toilet Shop City hall Gallery
Then,we proposed nine different elimination technique. The appearance of the toilet is designed as a dune on the beach. Stairs designed with the slope of sand dunes provide a high angle viewing space for people.The roof of the building is made of natural rubber sheet with a color similar to that of sand, and the interior is made of light yellow fair faced concrete. It is more naturally integrated into the site, reducing people's attention to the building. At the same time, the mirror is installed on the side facing the sea, so that when people look at the toilet, they can see the reflection of themselves and the beach, which provides secondary elimination. DEVELOPMENT OF GENDER-NEUTRAL RESTROOM
Urban public service facilities design for elimination of discrimination
ANALYSIS OF USERS
The research shows that different genders, different ages and different health status groups have different requirements on the use time and facilities of toilets, and different toilets cannot meet the needs of all kinds of people.
