THE BOXES Revival of Bauhaus Campus
DESSAU GERAMNY
The traditional Bauhaus style was born in the industrialization period after World War II. This simple and modern style has advantages in large-scale construction of social housing. With the development of construction technology, the birth of structural forms such as large spans and truss systems has brought the possibility of constructing more abundant and diverse spaces. Today, Bauhaus has a history of 100 years, and we have also entered the post-industrial era. The traditional Bauhaus style is worthy of reflection and improvement. More and more people are demanding that some human factors be combined to a certain extent to get rid of the concept of "building is a living machine" and to combine with the natural environment. This case is a compromise, combining the traditional Bauhaus style with the needs of people in the post-industrial era. The shape of the inverted pyramid of the building is not only a rebellious interpretation of the classics, but also frees the ground to give nature the opportunity to intervene in the building. The internal public space presents a funnel-shaped layout, based on the classroom form of the early European Academy as a prototype, reflecting the Bauhaus idea of flowing planes and free space.

Context
A comprehensive analysis of the Dessau city center shows that the functions of the main buildings have a great influence on the formation of pedestrian traffic: public buildings and parks determine the largest pedestrian flow, buildings with an active first floor affect the secondary flow of pedestrians, On the contrary, industrial buildings reduce the saturation of pedestrian space.

Spatial Logic
Traditional Distributions The buildings in Bauhaus campus now are scattered in different parts of the campus. Because many students need go to various in a day, they have to travel in different places repeatedly and waste a lot of time on the road.
All in One Placing different building parts in different boxes, attaching them to a large atrium, and organizing different functions with parallel streamlines can clearly distinguish them. This avoids the problem of streamline chaos.

Through the analysis of the needs of the people applicable to the building, it is finally determined that the design school is a group unit, the special teaching method of the workshop form and the relatively large work intensity of the design major need to be more closely integrated with the work area and the dormitory area. The plane layout is determined as the outer ring dormitory and the inner ring teaching area.

RENDERING Observation, Perception and Transiation The spiritual connotation of Bauhaus also includes "as the standard of the times". If the spirit of Bauhaus in the industrial age means "industrialization", then in the postindustrial era, it should include "landscape architecture, which is integrated with landscape." Humanized architecture" such requirements. An undulating grass slope is set in the design site, and the entrance and volume of the building are fully integrated with the grass slope. At the same time, the grass slope is used to reduce the noise of the train. The main entrance and parking spaces of the site are located on the east side of the site with denser crowds based on the previous site analysis.

Section Perspective As the core of the building, the atrium connects various functions in the building. The 50 apartments on the 4th and 5th floors are enough to accommodate 50 people. These rooms will serve students, lecturers and other guests who may need to stay for a few days to a few months.
Perceptive from the Atrium
Located in the 2-3 floor full-height space, it can accommodate 200 people. This space will be used for lectures, guest lectures and other formal events.
Perceptive from the Auditorium
The 9m*21m strip-shaped volume located on the 3rd floor is a space where students and teachers can gather to relax, have a cup of coffee or quickly grab a bite after studying.

INSERT Plug-in to revitalize urban village SHENZHEN CHINA
How to transform a chaotic urban village into a healthy community? This design puts forward my own ideas. What elements should a healthy community have? Clean streets, open public spaces, adequate greening, fitness and exercise venues, complete functional facilities, landmarks that attract tourists...Various and changing needs of residents In this design will be solved one by one in the form of continuously updated city plug-ins.

concept analysis
The project is located in Shazui Village, Shenzhen,Guangdong, China. The site itself is an urban village built by the villagers. It faces the Shenzhen Bay to the south and is adjacent to a mangrove bay. The scenery is beautiful and could probably attract a large number of tourists.
COMPEXITY--->ADAPTATION
STRICTURE--->OPENESS
ISOLATION--->PUBLIC
UNNATURE--->NATURE
After analysis, the site has the following problems: the needs of residents are diverse and changing; the village is closed and lacks economic vitality; the public space is absent and the residents' community awareness is not strong; the streets are narrow and the environment is dirty; the greening is seriously insufficient, and the ecology environment is not good.

The modular plug-in building will be selfbuilt by AI robots controlled by computer programs. Following the process of columns, beams, curtain walls, floor slabs, horizontal copying, and vertical copying, it will be possible to quickly build and add to meet different needs.

Central Landscape and Commercial Group In order to maximize the use of the beautiful scenery on the south side of the site, a landscape building above the village skyline was built in the center of the village to introduce the tourist flow into the village, boost the village economy, and enrich the villagers’ community life
