Fusion

In history, China once went through self-centerism, self-denial and now finally comes to a stage that can confront itself in a reasonable way. Architecture development in China has experienced a similar process. At first, we copied ancient architecture, then western architecture and now comes to a stage to think about how to design architecture that belongs to China and our era. “Fusion” is my answer. It’s not “ Chinese and Western Fusion” or “ Classical and Modern Fusion” in the slogan of some real estate agencies. For me, fusion is a subtle and intrinsic process, not the sum of two different cultural elements.

However, fusion has a wider and deeper meaning to me: fusion of people. Today in urban development, I see a prevailing phenomenon, village in the city. They are like perfect strangers, ignorant of the other’s existence. So are people in each areas. They only live within their own circles. In China, modernism must be a very long process, considering its history and large population. During this long transition period, when architecture of different historical periods coexist in our society, what kind of attitude should we take?

One of my instructors once said, arcitecture that serves only one kind of people can not last. I apply it to my second design: Courtyard Campus. Today we are proposing “Education For All”. So why we still enclose schools with fences as if it’s a sacred place of minority? Why don’t we open up the school gate and share campus resources with the society? Why don’t we break up the barrier and make it possible for students to have further interaction with the outside society?

I also believe in the fusion of nature and people, the fusion of tradition and modernism and so on. In other words, I believen in fusion itself. Even if one day we finally become a modern, fully-developed society, I still believe we will face the fusion of many other complicated relationships, because I still remember the words that no architecture that serves only one kind of people, that copes with only one kind of relationship can ever last.

Oppostion of old and new. Today they are like perfect strangers coexisting in our society. So are people inside of them. People living in old buildings and in modern buildings are restricted in their own living circles and stick to their used lifestyle.

01 立ての屋根 Youth Hostel Design For Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competition 2017 Site: Desheng Bridge Road, Wuhan, China Collabrator: Xuran Xiong My role: Conceptual design, Sketching

When we look back to ancient Chinese architecture, like traditional quadrangle architecture in Beijing, we find there exists an very interesting spatial sequence, an effective organization of courtyard and architecture.

Our site is in an old district of Wuhan with a lot of old houses, but most of them are deserted. One way to bring them back to life is to give those houses new functions. Because the site is near a street quite popular among young people and tourists, we consider it a wise choice to transform one of the houses into a youth hostel. Then how to desgin a new house in an old district becomes the central problem.

It shouldn't be a duplication of traditonal houses or a modern house with standard floors. We find the spatial sequence in traditional architecture very interesting and consider about projecting this horizontal sequence onto vertical buildings to design a house inheriting old spatial relationship and owinng new appearance.

Zhou Zhiyi 01

Inheritance of traditional spatial sequence In ancient China, residential architectures are horizontally developed. Each house has a front facade and a main entrance, from which a series of spatial sequence follows. Although traditional residential architecture have only one storey, they comprise an interesting spatial sequence, a transition from public to private.

horizontal-vertical

frontality-diversity

Main Street

Residential Area In modernism, the form of a building is often a cube. If the building is erected and the roof acts like a wall, the building is still a perfect cube.

While in traditional architecture, the house is a cube with a sloping roof on it. Once the house is erected, the facade becomes two solid walls.

1:1500

Evolution of Entrance At the entrance, there should be a setback from the boundary line to create buffer area. If the form of the building is a cube, there's too much waste in building area. However, if the prototype of the building is a traditional house with a sloping roof, half of the wasted area can be spared.

If the prototype is exactly a traditional house with a sloping roof, the front yard will consist of two triangle areas without any distinction. The two entrances will be hard to distinguish and not convenient to use. However, if the building is not divided evenly, the front yard will have a larger area and a smaller one, corresponding to one main entrance to commercial space and one to residential space on the upper floor.

Evolution of courtyard In traditional architecture, courtyards are inward.

Although the front yard is open to visitors, it's still encloseded by walls. The internal space is seperated from the external society. Once the sequence is projected to the vertical direction, the front yard is at the bottom and totally open to the surroundings. The middle yard becomes a long tube throughout the middle layer, so the environment is introduced into the building.

2018 Fall

Greocery Market

Secondary Street

Today, because of the population explosion, buildings begin to develop vertically. However, most of the buildings are filled with monotonous living cells so I begin to think about the possibility to project the traditional spatial sequence to the vertical direction.In this way, the front yard will be at the bottom of the building and people can enter from all directions rather than one speific facade. Then the middle layer will be the middle yard for gatherings but the use is limited to the lodgers. On the upper layer are private rooms.

Courtyard is not only a place for public activity, but also very important in regulating the microclimate of architecture. In traditional residential architecture, courtyard plays a prominent role in introduing light. Once the sequence is upright and courtyard becomes a layer of the vertical building, the effect of ventilation is greatly improved, just like the corridor of the arcade in south-east China. Because our site is in a density built area of Wuhan, especially in hot summer, citizens suffer from strong sunlight and little breeze. As to improve micro-climate of the building, I tend to put ventilation as my priority.

To the west of the site is the main street with a noisy food market on it and in the futrure living units in the west will be exposed to the setting sun, so the design of the western facade is quite cruicial.

Considering that roof over our heads keeps out wind and rain, the west facade should be a roof-like, solid wall to protect lodgers from the noise and too much sunshine.

If the layout can be applied to different sites, it will produce some very interesting public space of different scales, for different use.

Together they will become the courtyards belonging to the whole city.

When we talk about school, some stereotyped views will come into our mind. School should be enclosed by iron railings so only students can enter with their ID cards or there must be a lot of large, concrete teaching buildings with monotonous classrooms. However, none of them defines what a school should be. So when I make a planning for a school and design dormitory buildings, I want to break down those rigid impressions, to create an open campus that is welcome to the whole city and a homelike place for all students.

After research and mapping, I find the site is closely connected with the Hakka culture and in the traditional architecture of the Hakka there exist some spatial relationships worth investigating. That is the courtyard space. So I come to introduce such space into my planning and architectural design. The open space in campus acts as courtyards that break the barrier between school and surrounding residential blocks and encourages citizens to come into school. Within dormitory buildings there also exist courtyards, like the platforms on each floor, balcony space in different cells, they all act as a public or semi-public area to provide an opportunity for students on different floor or in different rooms to communicate with each other.

Courtyard in architecture of Hakka 三 合 院 and 土 樓 are two kinds of residential architecture of the Hakka. Both of them enclose a courtyard inside, but the enclosure or the openness of the courtyard is to different extent.

In 三 合 院 , the central courtyard is not totally enclosed. As family members increase, the family will push out new wings of the buildings and we can see more courtyards open to the whole community. While in 土 樓 , circular thick walls enclose a central couryard totally isolated from the ourside. It resembles a small fortified city and everything in it, including the courtyard, is limited to the use of the residents inside.

Considering the site has a very close relationship with Hakka, I come to think about the possibility to build relationship between past and present.

I hope students can view the campus as their home just like residents in their village. When we think about a village, the twisted lanes, trees, cottages come into our mind. Like walking in a village, students can stroll freely in the campus.

My design aims to create a village-like school.

First, it has no barriers and open to the public.

Second, I want to break up the rigid impressions about school by organizing the buildings and street networks in a more free and lively way.

Third, based on the research about traditional architecture of Hakka, I will introduce more open space like plazas into the school.

[1] Plaza on 2nd level

The curved grass plaza connects teaching building, library and dormitory buildings and extend to the riverside embarkment, so it is very convenient for students to commute to classroom or library in the morning and back to dormitory or riverside at night.

In order to create "courtyards" on campus, the design must focus on open space. I divide the campus into three functional areas but the division is not a clear cut, which means there's no boundary between every two areas. I'm mainly responsible for the design of life and activity area and dormitory.

Raise up the plaza above the height of the embarkment, so people can always see the river when strolling around on plaza.

Concept development diagram

[2] Connection embarkment

The curved grass plaza keeps changing in configuration, so at different points, the elevation is different and keeps changing.The change matches the circulation of students on the plaza.

3000

[4] Onto the plaza The curved grass plaza has two entrances: One faces the east , so students from that direction can easily walk onto the plaza. Another one faces the south, so citizens from the southern blocks will be introduced into the school and onto the plaza.

[5] Lighting Like the underground gymnasium, the curved grass plaza has the same problem that the student's center under the curved surface lacks lighting. So in the same way, I decide to cut out some voids on the surface to let light in.

[6] Curved void To match the curved configuration of the grass plaza, the void on the surface is also long and waved.

[7] Important circulation Although the design is meant to have a curved grass plaza, on which people can stroll freely, there still exists some important circulations, such as that between teaching building and library. These circulations should be hightlighted in some way.

[8] Road I design the roads that strenghthen the important circulations on the plaza and make it more convenient and efficient for students to arrive at their targeted building.

The void in the section makes the communication between different levels possible. If we think of the void as a kind of courtyard of the whole building, then through different scales of courtyard, students on different floors can communicate with each other.

So through the section study model, I come to do research about how the void can be arranged and how to make the space interesting and activated.

C-C Section 1:400 The void throughtout the whole building is the big courtyard: students in public rest area of different floors can communicate.

When we students go camping, we are likely to choose tents as temporary residencial space but they are not very comfortable. When we go outing with families, we are likely to live in hotels or resorts but they are sometimes too expensive and out of the sight of ideal scenery.

Approaching Nature

Walking into our residence design for campsite is a process of approaching nature. As people descend from the entrance to waterfront platform, they are nearer to beautiful scenery and have better view. The living blocks fan out so residents in different rooms can all enjoy wonderful but different scenery. Like ancient people who devote themselves to waters and mountains, I hope people today can also experience ancient people's pursuit, put their anxiety and sorrow aside and feel the gratitude of nature.

Concept: a new cemetery caring for the remains of donors Body donation is a controversial topic. In Chinese funeral customs, "laid to rest" has long been rejected by many people. With social awareness and acceptance on the donation of body organ gradually increasing, more and more people are actively involved in this contribution process. At present, the latest data of the Red Cross Society of China shows that until March 20, 2016, registered organ donation volunteers in China has been more than 6.6 million people. China's organ donation rate per million people in the year (PMP) increased significantly, ranking top in Asia and third in the world. However, in China, the donation behaviour of those volunteers is still suffering from most people's indifference and misunderstanding.

I design this cemetery to respect the dignity of every body donor, providing them with a decent and peaceful place to rest, where families can mourn and strangers can feel enlightened.

Memorial Hall The circular spaces behind are memorial halls, relatively private and quiet. The urn of donors is supposed to put here in the cabinets. There are also some seats in each memorial hall, so familiy members can sit for a moment and mourn for the passers-by.

2018 Fall

Gallery

Meditation Pool

The central space behind the ceremony hall and enclosed by many memorial halls is the exhibition area or gallery. I don't want to trumpet about the great contributions of these donors or publicize their life stories through exhibition, which will defile the passers-by and their families. What we want to advocate here is more knowledge about life and death and more understanding towards devotion. Therefore I design a gallery to allow some young artisits to exhibit their works about life and death, so families and visitors can get a momentary relief and the tomb can run by leasing the space.

On the top level is a peaceful, circular pond. I hope families can receive comfort from the beautiful scenery and recover from the miserable loss of their family member. At the same time, I hope visitors can also sit beside the pool for a moment, getting to know the truth of the succession of birth and death and realizing the true meaning of life is devotion.

Ceremony Hall The biggest circular space just behind the main entrance is ceremony hall. Here families of the donors can hold funerals or memorial ceremonies for their familiy members. Visitors can also take part in those ceremonies, praying for these donors and listening to their life stories to have a deeper understanding to their sacrifice and devotion. Visitors can also stroll along the ramp around the ceremony hall. During this process, people walk upwards and can watch the ceremony through the openings on the wall. Through the glass ceiling and the pond on the top sifts light, making the whole space pure and sacred.

Boat on the Move Urban Public Space Design

Work for Urban Public Space Design Competition 2016 Site: West Bank of Huangpu River, Shanghai, China 2018 Fall

The design concept is "temple fair". We put forward this proposal for the city's holidays, festivals, large events to create more activity space.

Temple fair around Longhua temple in Shanghai is one of the most traditional public activity in ancient times. Super cities such as Shanghai, Tokyo host many international activities such as world expo, the Olympics, so they attract tourists from all over the world. How to provide suitable public space and activities for people home and abroad and how to display the city's culture and characteristic, is a issue of concern. In Japan and other Asian countries, there are similar celebration activities like temple fair. Therefore, I want to revitalize tradition, to provide an opportunity for modern people to feel the city's traditional culture.

Zhou Zhiyi 21

Background of the city Just like many other big cities in developed countries, Shanghai has experienced urbanism and its urban population has peaked and shrinked in 2015. At the same time, however, the number of mobile, nonresident populations, such as tourists, foreign and domestic visitors continues to grow. 2010 EXPO has been successfully held in Shanghai and helped China gain international fame. We believe the city will witness many other international activities in the future.

How to create “public space” for a city that host many different international activities. It’s a problem to Shanghai and many other big cities. From satellite map, we can see the land of big cities is almost white, which means super-high building density and very limited open space. However, the most obvious dark area in the map, river area is large and worthy of further utilization.

Site history: port

Longhua temple fair is a kind of mass gatherings integrating religious worship, entertainment and commerce.

In ancient times, taking boat is a good choice. It 's spectacular to see thousands of people going to fair by boat.

The site is once a passenger and freight terminal. A lot of historical facilities related with port have been preserved.

The west bank is the newly exploited landscape belt. The east bank is once the site of 2010 Expo and now reused as museums and public parks. Near our site, there's another large open space, Longhua temple, once famous for its fair held during important festivals.

Barges are very common in port so if there's a waterfront fair, it's economic and efficeint to utilize these barges. Once the fair ends, these barges can return to commone use, like cargo transportation, so there's no extra waste and resources can be recycled.

[2] Art and Cultural Show In grand art and cultural show, like an outdoor symphony concert, the stage is relatively large and a u d i e n c e c a n s i t a ro u n d t h e stage to enjoy the show. So in our design, barges can be organized together to form a large platform, in which the central area is stage.

If the platform is at the waterfront, then we can also put a row of seats on the bank.

Shopping & Leisure In traditional shopping, customers are expected to stroll around and consume as much as possible. Barges are organized in a free way and platforms on different levels so space is much more interesting and motivates customers to explore.

Individual Work Site: Fuxing Road, Wuhan, China Academic Year: 2016 Fall Instructor: Xiaohu Liu

The design provides a simple residence and activity space for lorewalkers in Louna, focusing on construction and structure. We use wood to build up one truss and several trusses together make up the whole structure and finally add floor and maintanance to the structure.

The design aims to introduce young and lively feelings into old blocks.

By attracting young people to the complex, the old blocks can have an opportunity to revive and develop. The building keeps rotating. On the ground level, it faces right to the plaza. At the height of 20m, it rotates for 10°, which directly faces the Yellow Crane Tower. At the height of the top floor, it rotates for 60°, which directly faces Ziyang Lake. So the rotation is closely related with people's viewpoint to the surrounding environment.

When I look back to my five-year study in architecture, my strongest feeling is gratitude, especially to my instructor and classmates in Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Although I was an exchange student, they shew great patience and friendliness to me. Here I came to know the most important thing is not form development, like in Chinese architecture education, but a clear logic throughout the design.

From site research begins a problem you want to solve to the design that you finally find a perfect solution. It's about self-exploration and self-fulfilment.

A good design is like a good story. That cultivates my logical approach and attitude towards architecture design and this experience brings me confidence to defend for my own design instead of self-denial facing others’ challenge or criticism. Also I want to express my thankfulness to all the instructors I met in HUST, classmates that cooperated and progressed together, for giving me insightful directions and valuable opinions in the past 4 years.
