I've been engaged in a process of introspection, delving beneath the surface to unveil the hidden aspects that lurk behind the facade of societal norms and the environment. I believe that amidst the intricacies of our complex world, there lies a concealed realm governed by its own principles and order. For me, architecture serves as a tool to not only comprehend this concealed realm but also to seek solutions.

I harbored an innate urge to express myself. Over time, I learned to weave together elements of culture, environment, and context into my work. embarked on a journey of profound exploration, delving deep into existing paradigms. While acknowledge that my journey is far from complete, feel that I've discovered a path, one that involves retracing my steps and remaining insatiably curious—embracing the ethos of "stay hungry, stay foolish

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his year of pilgrimage

Architecture Conceptual Design

Based on The novel by Haruki Murakami

From March,2019 to June,2019

Individual Work

Instructor: Zhou Cong

The novel is a realist Bildungsroman that tells the story of Japanese railroad engineer Tsukuru Tazaki. When his close-knit group of friends abruptly cuts all relationships with him, a young Tsukuru is left depressed and without answers. Years later, Tsukuru attempts to reconcile with his old friends, embarking on a quest for truth and a pilgrimage for happiness.

Murakami’s characters are typically strong and resilient in the face of suffering, both real and surreal, so readers may be surprised to see one of his creations so downtrodden, and will doubtless infer something crushingly traumatic in his past. And they would be right. Tsukuru’s four closest friends from childhood have told him – without giving a reason – that they no longer want to see him.

This project describes the personalities of the four friends from the perspective of Tsukuru Tazaki, and translates into architectural space through the relationship between the four colors represented by the names(Red, Blue, Black, White) of the four friends and their personalities. This design explores the cross and combination between color and character and impression. The scheme results are perceptual.

Tsukuru Tazaki is a 36-year-old man whose defining features are his love of train stations and the fact his four best friends all ceased to speak to him during his second year at university Tsukuru had fallen into the bowels of death, his high-school friends were called Blue, Red, White, and Black, nicknamed after a color in their surname, unlike his "colorless" one. They used to do everything together like the five digits of a hand, until that single phone call one day, when they "announced that they did not want to see him, ever again. It was a sudden, decisive declaration, with no room for compromise. Nowadays, Below the encouragement of girlfriend, he leaves to find four close-knit friend who isolated him in youth period. This is a sacr that he don’t want to mention. So, visit a sacred land in his heart. That’s the “annees depelerinage”

Inhabitable Spaces Inspired by Moorish

Architecural Design

Upenn MSD-AAD Spring Studio

Location:Seville Spain

From Janurary,2023 to May,2023

Teamwork with Yiwen Gu

Instructor: Barry Wark

The junction of Dexian Road and Zhongshan Road marks the boundary between two different communities.In this area, the eastern and western cultures blend, forming the Catholic church as the mark point, LIyuan courtyard, Catholic hospital, school, monastery and a series of buildings with historical and artistic value.But around 1980, other new buildings were built, destroying the original historical character and reducing the activity of the area. Therefore, this project is through the replanning of the area and the preservation of historic buildings.

The project is rooted in the study of traditional Moorish/ Mudejar architectural characteristics in the southern region of the Iberian Peninsula, as well as Andalusian style. The aim is to identify unique elements within traditional regional architecture: the hypostyle architectural space of the Cordoba Mosque, the intricate Mukarnas dome in the Alhambra Palace, and the common use of 45-degree angles in Moorish architectural decoration. These elements are extracted as DNA prototypes and recombined and translated into a new but tradition-based spatial form.

Initial research involved studying the history, culture, and architectural characteristics of Moorish-style architecture, such as the Mukarnas dome and related Islamic design patterns.

Additionally, the team conducted a week-long on-site investigation along the Seville-Granada-Cordoba route in Spain. During the survey, apart from architectural styles and features, they paid special attention to experiencing and understanding the local climate, culture, landscape vegetation, and material weathering and colors.

Through firsthand visits and subsequent research and analysis, they discovered that the spatial qualities and stylistic features of the Alhambra Palace could serve as sources of inspiration for the project.

The design logic involves using a three-dimensional diamond shape as a prototype with a 45-degree angle in space. This prototype is formed through stacking, mirroring, and transformation techniques to create the Initial Seed Model (DNA Model), also known as a combination logic. Then, this set of logic is applied to the entire project to create a multi-columned (Hypostyle) architectural space.

Regarding the overall layout, considerations need to be given to its flow, issues related to indoor and outdoor boundaries, as well as the nature of the space. Spatially, it is mainly divided into a Hall and Pocket Room, without considering specific functions.

Background

Therefore, the overarching design task for the entire studio is to develop a conscious architecture that showcases and celebrates the integration of architecture and the environment. The design conceptualizes architecture not as a static whole fixed from its initial construction but as a collection composed of and reconstituted from materials, with characteristics and configurations continually changing and regenerating. In this way, the building can possess both "blended" and "original" qualities as different parts exhibit varying degrees of environmental integration (weathering), thus avoiding obsolescence and destruction.

Site-Seville

southern Spanish city

Seville,

cultural center

Andalusia, the southern region of Spain. The local and surrounding traditional architecture is referred to as "Moorish" or "Mudejar" architecture. The term "Moorish" originates from the historical European designation for the Muslim inhabitants of Andalusia in Spain, as well as present-day Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Their architectural tradition combines influences from pre-Islamic Roman, Byzantine, and Visigothic architecture.The project is located on the eastern bank of the Guadalquivir River, which runs through Seville. The site stretches along the river, offering a waterfront location.

The project is located in the of which serves as the of Alhambra Facade The project is located on the eastern bank of the Guadalquivir River, which runs through Seville. The building extends out towards the river, creating a waterside space. Section The design logic is based on a three-dimensional diamond shape as a prototype, with a 45-degree angle, which is achieved through stacking, mirroring, and transforming.

First and foremost is the colonnade in the Alhambra Palace, as well as the intricate carved friezes on the columns. This transition from complexity to simplicity, and the sense of layering from top to bottom, are distinctive stylistic and classical features of Islamic architecture.

The intricate Mukarnas ceiling in the interior of the building is exquisitely breathtaking. It begins with simple geometric patterns but continuously stacks, mirrors, and transforms within the space, forming a complex yet orderly and clever spatial structure. This has been the guiding principle in our design process as well.

45 degree

In Moorish architecture and Islamic architectural art, one can often observe textures and forms that follow a 45-degree angle. Using the 45-degree angle as a design module allows for easy control in spatial manipulation and provides a rich variety of variations

Weathering

The weathering marks on the building materials are also distinctive characteristics of such architecture. Andalusia, located in the southern part of Spain. As a result, the buildings in Andalusia often exhibit varying degrees of weathering, forming different layers. It is precisely this weathering and layering that contribute to the formation of the "Andalusian style."

Alhambra Mukarnas

Initial Seed Model

The design logic involves using a three-dimensional diamond shape as a prototype with a 45-degree angle in space. This prototype is formed through stacking, mirroring, and transformation techniques to create the Initial Seed Model (DNA Model), also known as a combination logic.

Weathering

we express these material characteristics to create varying degrees of weathering marks, making the building not a static whole fixed from its initial construction date in the traditional sense.

Global Massing

Regarding the overall layout, considerations need to be given to its flow, issues related to indoor and outdoor boundaries, as well as the nature of the space. Spatially, it is mainly divided into a Hall and Pocket Room, without considering specific functions.

Hall Pokect Room

Materials The expression of materials takes into account the unique climatic characteristics of the local region. Andalusia experiences the hottest and driest summers in all of Spain. However,

Hypostyle The assembly and segmentation logic of the model align with the relationship between the "permanent piece" and the "temporary pieces." The permanent pieces are assembled first, followed by the temporary pieces. In addition, the model segments are connected using interlocking joints and pins, with a minimal use of adhesive whenever possible.

The presentation of physical models is indeed a crucial part of the design process. When creating models, our focus lies in expressing the materials and showcasing the construction logic. These two aspects are of utmost importance to us.

1 2 3 4

Assembly The process of fracturing the design/model is an important step in the design exploration. Using the DNA Model logic, the model is divided into two parts: the "permanent piece" and the "temporary pieces." This inspiration is drawn from the Hypostyle architecture, where the roof is supported by columns. The architectural composition consists of the foundational columns and the beams resting upon them. As time passes, the beams may erode and reconfigure, but the columns remain standing. The former can be seen as the "temporary" construction, while the latter represents the "permanent" construction

THE WEAVING

Ceramic Shingles and Hinge Structure

Robotic Fabrication

From May,2023 to August,2023

Team work with Yiwen Gu, Wentao Pan Instructor: Nate Hume

Connected by hinge parts, the wood structure featuring V-braced frames with varying orientations makes the wall system more dynamic. The arrangement of these frames allows for the growth and overlapping of the cages. Upon these cages, there are 3D printed ceramic shingles. The deliberate overlapping of these shingles contributes to the formation of a weaving pattern that ripples across the surface. As the shingles move forward and backward, they have a more intriguing interaction with the cages. Each line of the shingle has a color pattern different from its neighbors. The colors fade along the length of each shingle, creating a gradient effect, as they gracefully blend into one another. Because they are 3D printed by robotic arms, they possess the capability to form dropping bubbles. In total, there are four patterns, contributing more delicacy and complexity to the overall design.

Concept- Hinge

The concept for whole project draws inspiration from an specfic architectural plan by McKim, Mead, and White for the Misses Appleton House (1883-84). This concept arises from certain strategic points

As the shingles move forward and backward, they have a more intriguing interaction with the cages. Each line of the shingle has a color pattern different from its neighbors. The colors fade along the length of each shingle, creating a gradient effect, as they gracefully blend into one another.

Facade One application of ceramics at the building facade scale would be tiles or shingles. These components, despite being thin and lightweight, offer excellent coverage across surface areas. What sets our shingles apart is their potential for greater texture and a broader spectrum of color options compared to conventional examples.

Conceptually, the relationship betwveen machines and humans todgy is at a stage where deep interaction and integration are just beginning. Machines have become an important part because of massive computing power and continue to grow.Hmans aredependent on machines and trying to develop deeper interactions with machines.

In the future, machines (servers) are poised to play a crucial role in urban settings. As humans, creating spaces for machines and coexisting with them will present significant challenges. For architects, the ability to manage the interaction and allocation of space between machines and humans will become an essential skill in the coming years.

Architects of the future will play a pivotal role in shaping cities that strike a balance between reaping the benefits of machine integration and meeting the needs and preferences of human inhabitants. This endeavor will result in more efficient, sustainable, and livable urban spaces.

The Future of NYSE

New York is one of the leading financialcenters in the world,and the New York StockExchange(NYSE) is a phenomenal buildingthat embodies the develop ment of finance,society and city evolution. From the foundingof theNYSE in 1972, when people talkedand took notes o n the floor in the hall,to todaywhen people stand in front of various computermonitors, electronic readouts,and many servershelp trade take place. These burgeoningmachines have greatly influenced and changedthe way of people's behavior and the layouf ofarchitectural space.

Servers and Human

Therefore, the most significant difference of the layout in NYSE between today and the previous is that the proportion and position of machines are increasing now. Not only the electronic screens and computers in the market hall, but also there is plenty of space upstairs and in the basement for servers. Besides that, People's use and artitudes toward these machines are also changing and becoming an issue.

The site is situated beneath the Yanggong Overpass in Chongqing, nestled amidst university districts. The overpass features a roof attribute, making it an ideal focal point for our design. We've introduced rounded slabs beneath the bridge to link various university areas, enticing students to converge beneath, fostering communication, gatherings, and play. These slabs create connections between different levels, utilizing slopes to encourage a range of activities. People discover one another amid these undulations, forge friendships, and, in tandem, we've introduced circular openings at congregation spots, fostering the growth of plants that naturally coexist with the overpass.

Concept

This site is situated beneath the Yanggong Overpass in Chongqing, nestled within the heart of a university campus. The overpass itself features a unique roof structure, making it an ideal focal point for our design concept. We envisioned this project as a way to connect various segments of the campus, with the space beneath the overpass serving as a central hub for communication, gatherings, and recreational activities.

To facilitate movement and interaction, we incorporated a series of interconnected stone pathways that wind around the area. These pathways are designed with varying elevations, creating a dynamic landscape that invites people to explore different levels. The slopes and undulating terrain encourage a range of activities and interactions, allowing individuals to discover one another amidst his vibrant setting and fostering new friendships.

Luminous Stone Pathways

We strategically incorporated circular openings at gathering points, fostering a symbiotic relationship between nature and human activity. The luminous stone pathways create a romantic atmosphere, transforming the underpass into a celestial gathering spot.

Liberation Pavilion, the former site of the fortified battle in the battle of Jinan, which broke the city entrance as the carrier. Liberation Pavilion is located at the southeast corner of the inner city wall of Jinan. At dawn on September 24, 1948, the ninth column of the East China Field Army broke through the inner city and liberated Jinan on the same day. In 1965, the Jinan City Government repaired the southeast corner of the city wall to form a square stone foundation. In 1986, a two-story pavilion was built on the base of the platform, with the memorial hall on the bottom floor and the observation hall on the upper floor, reflecting the strong national style. In December 1977, the Jiefang Pavilion was announced as the first batch of provincial cultural relics protection units.

This project is research design, including two stages . In the First Research phase, field investigations, document investigations are used to investigate the events carried by the building itself, and analyze the overall layout, building structure, construction technology, material structure, style, decoration details, etc., and guide the development of cultural relics. Value evaluation. In the Second Design phase, based on the research of relevant policies and regulations, strategies for reuse design and surrounding environment renovation design are proposed.

STELE

In traditional Chinese Official or religious architecture, there is mainly a central axis as the main sequence, and the lateral axis is the secondary axis.The main streamline memorial is the strongest.

By analyzing the paradigms and forms of ancient Chinese steles, it is found that Liberation Pavilion is similar to ancient Chinese monuments both in artistic kernel and form. Therefore, Liberation Pavilion is treated as the head of the steles, the foundation as the stele body, and the bank by river as the stele pedestal.

The positions on the south and west banks of the moat opposite Lliberation Pavilion can be regarded as Mountain Gate and Side Hall in traditional Chinese architecture.

The base of Liberation Pavilion is analogous to a Chinese stele’s petestal. Therefore, the design of , the “Petestal” is based on the north-south axis as the direction of Wall Breached. And design four sides of the “Petestal” as the counterparts in traditional chinese stele. In order to preserve the authenticity of the base of Liberation Pavilion, the design of the newly designed Petestal should adopt the different material.

The historical change exhibition of city walls and events in battle of Jinan. It provides people with a place to commemorate.
