This project is in Yibin, China, a city that has important ecological position for the country. The master plan combined local pedestrian transportation and the raiway station rapid transit. With ecology as the core value, a core urban area with multiple complex functions has been designed here.

I joined this project from the start of its masterplan competition. Following the process step by step, I worked as a designer for the Concept Design of the Central Park, the SD and DD phase of the High-rise Tower, and now the CA phase. During DD phase of towers, I became the main designer of this project.

For the whole project, I am the expert for the team's technical problems of parametric design, geometric optimization, and data analysis.

Print-making about tropical environment

Suburbia context

Existing plan

This is a housing project based in the suburbia of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The print is a reflection of the natural catastrophes (hurricane & earthquake) and the lovely environment. Because of the climate and catastrophes of the tropical island, the project must use a passive strategy to adjust micro-climate.

Neighborhoods of this area have a certain fabric. A block consists of two rows of houses. This project originated from an existing plan. By renovating the existing prototype, it creates a flexible community.

Flexibility makes the community multifunctional, as public resources is weak here. Fexibility also allow the building to adapt the entire life span of a family. The community is available for new public facilities (school, factory...), new ownership (house, apartment...), and a sustainable lifestyle.

03 LAYERS OF MUSEUM A Museum & A Park Layers for space & atmosphere Undergraduate final project 2017 Teamwork with Jiaxiang Zhu

Green belt urban planning exhibition hall

Museum + Park

Atmosphere has layers. In an ancient Chinese house, between yard (nature) and bedroom (human), there are many layers to make a transition. Parts of them were called "grey space". But all of them can be treated as multiple space "layers".

In Ziyang city, between public architecture axis and green belt, there will be a museum of the city.

"Layers" make sense in such situation, making a transition between public architecture and green belt, playing and learning, nature and human.

Layers in the museum Different layers of space make a transition between museum and park. In the meanwhile, it provides more forms of space. The atmosphere of space changes from solemn(center part) to relaxed(side parts).
