In my opinion, people play a great significance in architecture since architecture, to a certain extent, is the product of human civilization. Paying attention to people's psychological needs, I am fascinated with exploring human-based architecture, which is reflected in my portfolio. For example, through the lenses of religion and philosophy, my first project on the earthquake cemetery in Qinghai examines and breaks through the stereotype of life and death. Despite the massive demand for cemeteries amid rapid economic development and an increasingly diverse culture, there has still not been a tremendous shift in the perception of feudal burials. Death and cemeteries are still taboo in Chinese society. Therefore, I launched this project to explore how to reconcile this contradiction via architecture. In another project, taking the Moon and Sixpence as a reference, I extracted the concepts of "ideal space" and "real space" and embodied the conflicts regarding character relationships and plots in my design. Given this, my faithful mission is to meet public and professional needs.
THE MOON AND SIXPENCE ——IDEAL AND REALITY 04
"Ideal space" - whether it must be the "space isolated from reality"?
"Real space" - does it mean the "space of everyday life"?

People who pursue ideals are not unnecessarily pursuing noble things (like wealth and reputation), but might be the lives of their interests instead. Such people expect to achieve success through something other than ideal. On the contrary, they do not believe they can succeed, such as the protagonist of The Moon and Sixpence does not want others to see his paintings or even finally chooses to burn them. It demonstrates a genius's life with his unique attitude.
The moon is hanging in the sky, but the ground is full of sixpences - does it mean that ordinary people must abandon sixpences to pursue the moon?
No, everyone has a moon in their mind, being anything meaningful for him or her. And It is unnecessary to be pursued at the expanse of livelihood. Strickland's legendary experience is easily misunderstood. It brings confidence to people that they will definitely be Strickland. However, most people are always ordinary, even though they also have their own moons. Therefore, the book not only uncovers a genius and madman like Starkland but also sketches doctor Abraham who pursues an ordinary life in the small town -- the moon is the place nourishing a peaceful heart.
DESIGN BACKGROUND
The aim of design and basic information of The Moon and Sixpence
The "moon" in The Moon and Sixpence is bright and beautiful, representing the unattainable dream in people's heart, while "sixpence" represents the rational and material reality. It is controversial to address the dilemma between dream and reality. Based on the life experience and artistic career of French impressionist painter Pau Gauguin, Maugham created a cynical artist protagonist -- Strickland, who pursues physical and mental freedom, and depicts the protagonists spiritual journey of pursuing the "moon" in accordance with his desire to find the original spiritual home.
SYNOPSIS
Strickland was a stockbroker, but in the seventeenth year of his life he suddenly left everything behind and went to Paris for painting study. He almost died of hunger and disease several times and reached Tahiti, where he married Ata. Then, he soon contracted leprosy and became blind. Until he finished his mural, his body festered and died.
TARGET
The prototype of ideal space in this novel are diverse, including public space, private space, open space, semi-open space and so on. It is full of free scale, without any normativte limited real space -- a kind of unchangeable situation. People are transformed, alienated and masked by the outside world. Therefore, the "real space" is a single and repeated space, which is tangible and concrete.
CONCEPT GENERATING
Column grid
A linear array along two directions perpendicular to each other. It comes across as serious and efficient
Real space1
a Motif space associated with narrative typology The important prerequisites for the formation of prosody are similarity of elements, regularity of spacing and logic.
Real space2
The courtyard is enclosed, different inside and outside, and the space is square.
The Main Strickland to purse the Moon
Ideal space 1 Ideal space of Free space form to bring users a loose space experience.
Ideal space 2
Different space ideal space demand and space form.Each space can give people a unique space experience.
Ideal space 3
Similar figures, two figures whose corresponding angles are the same and corresponding edges are proportional are called Similar figures.
Real space3
Annular space streamline has infinite circulation and strong line of sight centrality.
Cluster
"The Combination of Ideal and Display Space".The regular array is in sharp contrast to the free ideal space.
Linear series
Due to the requirements of function or form and other aspects of the combination of space units, called "sequence combination" .
PANOPTICON PRISON GENERATING
Radial
It radiates from near to far. The geometric individual image is larger in the distance than near.
Ideal space 4
An irregular and uncommon ideal spatial form.It can Give people a different space experience.
Ring series
Annular real space is connected with ideal space, and space is more centripetal.
The panopticon is like a ring with a tower built in the dark center. The buildings outside are divided into cells. Each cell has two windows. One opens inwards, facing the "pinhole" of the central tower, and the other opens outwards, allowing light to illuminate the cells.
(Writeen By Stickland）
PLANE ANALYSIS
The width of the arc road shifts from narrow to wide and then to narrow. The changeable width enriches spatial experience.
ANALYSIS OF AXONOMETRIC
A small building space that echoes the main building
ANALYSIS OF AXONOMETRIC AND PARTIAL PERSPECTIVE
The space changes from close to open to narrow as the close along the traveling path. At the same time, arches, quadrangular windows and other hollow structures have brought rich light and shadow changes to the interior of the building.
SECTION PERSPECTIVE
The form and scale of ideal space are diverse, including public space, private space, open space, semi-open space, ete, The scale in the space is also free, which unnecessarily meet the humanity scale or specification.
“Real space" is a single and repetitive space, which is tangible and concrete.
Ideal space is like an endless cycle of pursuit of idleals. Realizing idleals cheers people, like the mothes, they are willing to be captured by the burning fire, just for the instant light.
People have been trying their best to break away from ordinary life routines. However, this road is bumpy and far away, seemingly endless. But there is always a group of people who have a heart yearning for the night sky, even though they are at the lowest point of their life.
People are always free from the prison of reality in their ideal. ldeals and reality are contradictory after all, and poets can only realize their ideals through imagination to make them temporarily get rid of the troubles of real life.
Everyone is looking for their own ideal stage, finding the sky, coast and sea belonging to his or herself.
Some people are closed in the prison of reality. They even have not realized this, which is equivalent to locking themselves in a prison. This is the prison of thinking and also the prison of cognition.
There are also a few people slowly approaching their ideals. Even though life is inevitably boring, people who are loyal to their hearts can always live a colorful life without escaping from the secular world.
Some people try to live an ordinary life. Ordinary life is normal, so we don't need to hide it. Although it's fair and aboveboard, majority of people will be ordinary throughout their lives.
People sometimes live between reality and ideals. People live in the real world and yearn for an ideal life. Reality and ideals are unnecessarily two parallel lines that never intersect.
