The project also incorporates a focus on environmental sustainability. The Five Elements philosophy in Chinese culture ( water, earth, fire wood metal is not only used in the design but also in the materials used for construction. The project will use locally-sourced materials that are environmentally friendly and renewable, such as bamboo, which is an important symbol in Chinese culture. it will prioritize energy conservation and e ciency The design will include solar panels and wind turbines to generate renewable energy and the building will also have a rainwater collection system to reduce water waste.

The art and leisure space will showcase local artists and cultural events, providing a platform for community engagement and cultural exchange. The shared o ce space will provide a flexible and collaborative work environment for individuals and small businesses, fostering innovation and creativity

Overall, the project aims to create a sustainable and harmonious community that reflects the ancient Chinese philosophy of the Five Elements. It blends tradition with modernity creating a space that is not only functional but also beautiful and meaningful. Through this project, people can work, learn, and socialize in a space that is in harmony with nature and the community

Zhuhu Town Research Building

Located in the heart of 2 square kilometers Zhuhu wetland park, this building seeks to become the landmark and meeting point with multiple uses and services for all visitors, the biggest challenge was

to find the perfect solution for the facade since in its structure and form was already built without planning or defined uses, the current structure made of concrete is in a state of good construction

finish but with a number of columns on the facade that could affect any intervention.

The irst idea behind the design of the facade was to conclude the uses within the building with almost 1,500 square meters, it had to house different services such as restaurants, nursery didactic research rooms and workshops for children and adults.

followed by a search for a concept that could relate the new building with its surroundings, since in a rectangular plan it is surrounded by space and organic routes that should be integrated into the design but above all gently guide its visitors.

Waterfall as facade

Finally after defining the interior spaces and the circulation in relation to the structure, a glass curtain wall becomes a waterfall that descends to be part of the entire environmental complex of the park.

Communicate & Relate

the second point seeks the interaction of people and the lake with the new building as well as to dynamize and compact all uses and generate a defined access and strengthen circulation.

Current state of the building

As a irst instance, the windows and nonstructural elements were eliminated, the structure was adjusted and the vacuum and connection points corresponding to the new uses and activities were generated.

Tanshan Park A4 building

The restoration of a disused building that will become the new indoor station for games and activities for children in Tanshan Park seeks to reflect an indefinite construction of educational blocks. The idea is to preserve mostly the structure and spaces inside the building and to communicate the first level with the existing terrace, the concept is born from a box of blocks spilled on the roof of the building and thus converting it into a park of different levels and colors around, the main intention is to play with the perspective of the people and to exact and invite their exterior and interior journey.

As a first objective and understanding the clients concern for the cost of what such an idea could bring a new facade was adapted to the existing walls, the conditions of the original building helped to manage a rhythm and several perspectives that could be specified by volumes with functions on the decks.

Define accessibility & approach perspectives

Being a building with multiple accesses, it is important to generate a clear circulation from the first level, which is why transform the original stairs into an open playground where the second level can be accessed or also as a platform to appreciate the lake, the volumes on the roof thunder various functions, some function as play stations or small food services, others emerge from the ground and become furniture or trees pots, the arrangement of these elements on the roof function as geometries that appear on the facade and are located in such a way that they function as mazes.

Around the building existing volumes were also integrated that serve as a service to the park in its entirety and di erent open spaces within the context are framed within the same theme, inside the style is maintained and part of the decoration is always present the didactic cubes

Shijie

Folk museum & Visitor center

The building complex is located on the banks of a river that runs through the entire park complex where the two buildings serve as a complex and support for the daily activities of its visitors, initially in stage 1 of the project it was sought to reactivate two existing factory-type structures

The first would function as a museum and the second as a visitor and customer service center for the park. These would have temporary exhibitions and cafes and some shops.

According to the clients requirements, it was important to preserve the shape and area of the existing buildings, therefore the current geometry and the set of roofs faithfully follow the shape of the factories that remain in place.

Regarding the structure, the implementation of a lightweight and durable system was proposed that could give structural security as well as a more pleasant and contemporary image to the interior of the building without losing its identity

Construction System

The structural system is divided into two parts, the first is the compressed earth walls that function independently of the roof structure and trusses, this structure made of earth and rock, typical of the place, pays tribute to the agricultural culture of the region. since most of the exhibitions are dedicated to agriculture and popular culture.

These walls are located in the original perimeter of the existing building in some sections sections are contracted to give way to the structure from the outside and thus give a rhythmic game and shadows in addition to leaving the qualities of the new wood-based structure and iron.

The foundations of these walls and new columns are supported on the existing one, obviously it has been reinforced and its volume increased to make way for the new structure, some compressed earth walls have openings that allow indirect light to enter the building as well as in its covers giving natural light entrance,

The idea behind the braces and tensioners system is to follow the industrial image but with a contemporary and technological touch, the covers are contemplated and zinc sheet to a conisderable height to mitigate the heat on summer days.

Openings and Natural illumination

The incorporation of this sort of perforations on the walls helps indirect lighting and gives privacy to the interior of the museum

Wooden Truss system

system of trusses with steel tensioners and metal plates as an anchor on wood on existing columns reinforced in concrete

Rammed earth walls

This is a rudimentary construction system in which earth is compressed into wooden boxes. The clay is horizontally placed in layers of 15 cm in height, and compacted with manual or pneumatic tools, to achieve its ideal density creating a resistant and durable structure.

Being located on the side of the museum, the visitor center of the park must comply with the same aesthetic characteristics, the direction varies in that it has two levels and a much smaller area on the first floor as a structure the same truss systems were used and Colunas in particular the compressed earth wall system is within the perimeter of the existing building in addition. two volumes stand out on the roof in its initial plan, which gives a great opportunity to become viewpoints and fully isolated resting areas of the first level if so desired, giving the opportunity to be used 24 hours.

This visitor center has a central open space to host di erent activities or temporary exhibitions, as well as a complex of private bathrooms and o ces as well as a store and entrance areas on the first and second levels. Floor plan level 2

The project is located in Block 0201, East Group, Daxing New City District, under the jurisdiction of Linxiao Road Sub-district, which mainly undertakes the function of comprehensive service guarantee. The project has obvious advantages in transportation and commercial location. I has been the core of Daxings traditional commercial business and an external transportation hub node. The new gymnasium is located in the original small commodity market that includes two plots of land and above-ground real estate. The building scale is 9898.21 square meters. Due to the poor quality of the building it has reached the design service life. t is planned to be demolished and rebuilt. The base area of the newly-built sports academy is 4248.64 square meters, and the total construction area is 21,260 square meters, of which the above-ground area is 11,620 square meters. The building has 3 floors above ground and 2 floors underground, with a building height of 33M.

Firts floor - 4944.3m2

At this level, the functions that occupy the most area and where the largest number of people remain per activity time are located.

Second Floor -3922.04

The second level has a number of functions with less number of participants which makes possible a greater layout per square meter also maintains a little privacy for the players

Third floor - 2488.75

The third level is determined by a vip tennis area with a varied number of courts and a relaxation area plus bathrooms and coffee shop Landscape and

The building adopts a decentralized layout and spreads along the market road. The overall layout is divided into the main gymnasium and the commercial part. The gymnasium and commerce are connected to each other through the sinking plaza. The plan is based on the operating characteristics of the gymnasium, combined with the functional characteristics of the business, and the functional areas are organically divided and relatively independent. The different functions of the gymnasium adopt a "divided" layout, connected by corridors, and at the same time open up the commercial space, to maximize the natural lighting and ventilation of the building and form a composite type integrating traffic diversion, activity exchange, and landscape rest. Architectural landscape space. By sinking the plaza landscape compound space, the various functional areas are effectively connected to form an efficient and intensive integrated overall layout. The concept of the green courtyard is fully integrated into the shaping of the space form to maximize the environmental quality of the internal space, while more effectively adapting to the characteristics of the regional environment. Make full use of the roof terrace to create a humanized activity space and form an open and vibrant overall space image.

Changshan Wenyuegu Exhibition Area

The project design follows the concept of minimalism and focuses on exploring material textures and the contrast between void and solidness of building volume. Materials of di erent textures and exquisite craftsmanship such as cement boards, glass and aluminium panels are adopted to show the quality of details. The design team created the entrance with a lattice-shaped artistic metal gate, perfectly matching with the lighting design. A night, the lights cast shadows on it, making it vigorous and charming

the set of roofing preserves the identity of the place but at the same time reflects the modernity and the intention of a timeline, the first floor is fully enclosed by ultra clear glass, making the cuboid structure appear to be floating on air The glass allows full natural light to enter the space, which ensures transparency and leaves traces in the space with diversified forms. On the second floor

the designers chose to use gray fiber cement boards with massive yet exquisite textures, which integrate well with the transparent glass and highlight each other together forming contrast of void and solidness along the lake.

Architecture and landscape

On the other hand, the hotel and the commercial street act as close to services and isolation for the villas that are in the interior they function as a gate that welcomes you to a secret garden and where each one can be accessed by several channels. of the types of housing in that order of ideas the integration of different uses makes possible the continuity of activities and the public, keeping the entire project alive, the bodies of water are existing and they themselves conduct the internal circulation for each of the houses.

As soon as you enter in the building the dualist dialogue begins between the exterior and the interior, the new and the old, the human and the nature. The building is understood as a configuration of different volumes that make up the rooms (ABCDE) connected through a corridor located in the northwest area of the building that allows the movement between different levels.

Commercial Street

the commercial street fulfills the task of providing services to residents of the villas as well as to the visitors of the hotel, it seeks to satisfy basic services and conform as well. some volumes are made up of two levels while others are reducing their size due to the pedestrian scale
