01 The Birth and Rebirth of the Wall location: Newham, East London Design Date: Jan 2020 to Jun 2020 Group Rework based on Individual Academic Design Group making drawing will be label "*" Tutor: Peter Salter

“… In the United Kingdom, the relationship is even more disproportionate, with 8.7 times more shops than churches and 2,174 times more shops than universities…”. (Koolhaas, 2001).

With its unstoppable growth and adoption of the market economy as the global standard, consumerism culture slowly emerges into our everyday life as a mainstream culture. in specific ways, not only is shopping emerging in our daily life, but our daily life is also becoming unescapable from shopping.

On the other hand, rough Sleepers are forced to be removed by police and security under the name of "protecting public space", which has been privatized,commodified and symbolized. A similar situation could be seen on a Parliament Square Protestor, Brian Haw, who was subject to arrest if he trespassed onto the privatized land.

In London, the creation of Olympic parks and the following infrastructure, including the Westfield shopping centre in Newham, has pushed the minority group who are forbidden from the privatized public space further to the city's edge. With Covid and internet shopping developed, Westfield has declined to the point when many of the shops are boarded up. As a capital city, London is now full of substantial monotonous clusters of shopping lands, as Newham was once a public shared land and home for the poor. By proposing the demolition of Westfield Stratford City, this land in the city centre may have a chance to be given back to the public as a public space

Researchs On Rough Sleepers

Government been doing

To understand the rough sleeper, they are ordinary people but suffer from abusive relationships or difficulties in finance, and other various reasons.

The reality for a rough sleeper is usually miserable. The rough sleeper is looking for an ecstatic (imaginary) dream to reconnect with the past and take away the present's agonies.

In addition, as the city is now being primarily privatized, Rough sleepers cannot access any space as they will be asked to move by securities policies, resulting in their endless walking, which the city rejects rough sleepers. For Newham, the creation of the Olympic park certainly worse this fact with the increase of privatized land. and the shopping is gradually losing their meaning as the Covid and the development of internet shopping 7

PROJECT 01

Birth and Rebirth of the Wall

The Idea of Pictorial Space

Pictorial space is the illusory space in a painting or other work of two-dimensional art that seems to recede backwards into depth from the picture plane, giving the illusion of distance. The birth of the modern concept of pictorial space can, in part, be traced back to 14th-century serial narratives that depict a shallow and sometimes cluttered landscape, such as in Barnaba da Modena’s Adoration of the Child. In these narrative paintings the artist would attempt to tell a story, but was limited by the amount of space on the canvas, and by the number of events that could be shown together before the viewer became confused. Later, a style known as a polyptych took the single frame of the serial narrative and divided the canvas into multiple frames in which more of the story could be told.

This can be seen in Lippo di Benivieni‘s The Crucifixion. In the 15th century, through the development of linear and aerial perspective, artists found new freedom and space in which to tell their narrative in a single pictorial space. The added depth provide by these new techniques is sometimes referred to as illusionism.1

....In order to comprehend the Rough sleeper further, I did some collages by referencing to the Giotto`s 14 century paintings. The 14th century collage images show the relationship with the flatness of the background behind, in the same way that rough sleepers are almost layered against the fabric of the city behind. Giotto’s painting in “Birth and Rebirth of Public Space “ shows early forms of perspective, in which the structure of internal space is layered onto the background of the painting or folded back so that the background is painted perpendicular to the picture plain. There is a feeling that the rough sleeper withdraws from the urban life of the city into a dream world or ecstatic world of drug and or alcohol abuse or mental trauma.

And the urban fabric (the background) acting like a wall, to separate people apart from each other.

Pictorial Space Collages

These colleges illustrates how alcohol, drugs and sorrow are freezing the UK rough sleepers. There is a reverse idea in the relationship between rough sleepers and the public space, the rough sleepers usually seem like part of the city façade, but meanwhile, they are being rejected from entering the city. The scenes above illustrate rough sleepers freezed by the arcade shopping street, in front of castle, by the road next to the stadium separately.

PROJECT 01

Birth and Rebirth of the Wall

The Reverse Idea"Berlin Wall" Strategy

1. The volume of the original Westfield shopping Centre, being the “wall”, separates social groups.

4. There is an intensity related to the wall. As people are closer to the wall, there will be a more comfortable experience. Wall will provide different free services as people approach it: Movie, Hot water, and even shelters!

2.The space is then divided into three public areas with three different spatial qualities, a Collective flea Market, a public square with a hot bath and a Showground. People can enjoy various space quality freely, and those spaces

3.To commemorate the dying consumerism, rubbles from the demolished shopping centre is transformed into a monument in the shape of a wall.

The remains of the consumerism of the past will also provide a different

function for the public space.

5.The steelwork will be reserved for exhibition purposes as People can see the progress of the shopping centre decay. Furthermore, a Homeless centre will be built attached to the wall.

6.People desire to get to the walls as close as possible, and a walkway surrounding the fence is put for climbing up the wall. People can experience the wall closely while walking on the walkway Family

Society

...From this point, I was interested in this reverse idea of the “wall” and explored a different reverse idea related to the wall. The concept of the berlin wall inspired me. It was once built for separating people, but it brings people together. People from the west and east are together because of the wall.

Society

Hence by the inspiration, this project can apply the strategy of the berlin wall. The wall structure can be made from the recycled rubble demolished from the old shopping centre. It follows from the dismantling and gouging of the Berlin Wall - a time in political history to reunite the city. as the shopping centre being the actual wall of difference and Discrimination being demolished, the new fence which will join people together would emerge now.

Walls enclose the land, and the space itself would not be like any public space before. They embrace rough sleepers. The walls will have an intensity of embracing. This intensity will increase as approaching the wall.

THE SERVICE BUILDING The building for the public space will be a service building that cares for the rough sleeper. It is located on the left side of the public space. The Gabion wall, which the other walls are made of, acts as a spine in the middle of the building. It is also an archaeology of what was once their shopping Centre. The building will satisfy rough sleepers' mental and physical needs. Three floors will link by a giant staircase. When rough sleepers ascend in the building, they will have a visual connection with people on top of the walkway, and the rough sleeper will be at the same level as the visitors to the public space

02 "City hall" the Apartment location: YangPu, Shanghai Design Date: Oct 2021 to Dec 2021 Individual Design

After the Chinese government officially abolished "hooliganism" (its broad definition including homosexuality) in 1997, the Chinese Society of Psychiatry removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses in 2001. Homosexuality in China is no longer considered a crime or disease. But there is still a negative stereotype for this community, especially from old ages.

On the other hand, gay bars began to grow in Shanghai at the beginning of 20 Century, "Home" was one of them that introduced a new form of entertainment to the city's gay community: dancing, and it is now being considered an important social event for homosexual interaction.

In 2014, Voguing started getting popular in Mainland China, as Irina Bashuk -- a member of the Legendary House of Milan -- fled to China from her native country Ukraine. The existence of Vouging House allows some Of China's LGBTQ+ community to shed their camouflage and communicate with others in their unique way. However, Shanghai's capitalization will not give this nascent subculture a rest. Right after Bashuk Founded China's First Voguing House: The Kiki House of Kawakubo in 2018, voguing started becoming expensive, and it is also facing gentrification.

“There’s a feeling that walls have been erected, making it harder for China’s less privileged sexual minorities to join our community.”. (Li Yifan, 2019).

By making a proposal of introducing a grassroot vouging ball into Shanghai outdated neighborhood, we will see the tension between traditional old people and the LGBTQ community, and also a chance to return the LGBTQ community their own place for interaction.

coner where gossipy shanghai aunties share lover information with LGBTQ

I draw the idea of architectural negotiation from the work of cartoonist heath Robinson. It is an idea that allows two conflict programs to happen simultaneously. The negotiation is about fulfilling the demand from both sides.

As the negotiation is made through architecture, each side will also need an “architectural body” to speak for them.

Longchang Apartment, built-in 1920, was once considered one of the best apartment buildings in Shanghai, but now it is outdated and faces various issues. Those issues are related to the demand of the Apartment dwellers, and they are one side of the negotiating parties. The Longchang Apartment will be the “architectural body” for the dwellers.

The other side of negotiating parties is Vougers, and I need a prototype that has performance potential to speak for them. Moreover, from research on the needs from both sides illustrates that a stage, a workshop, and places to communicate is the outcome needed from this negotiation.

Six kinds of prototypes with performance potential was planted into the site. With the various idea being tested, I found that the Nature of announcement and parading brought by the city hall is attractive and combines well with vougers. The prototype of the city hall is then chosen as the "architectural body" for vougers and be deconstructed further into Tower, Dome, Square(Street) and Facade. each one has a different strategy.

RENOVATION

Deconstruction Strategies

The negotiation is essentially undergoes four strategies, the first one is square, The square will be used as a public place for both sides. With the communication between both sides getting better and better, the square will become more open. The folded street allow visitors to see different city scenery and make people understand the whole process of Vouging. The street will pass the clothing and Tatto shop on the ground floor and then go up to see the dance studio downstairs. After turning the corner, it will be the gallery of Vouging until it reaches the circular stage (the third strategy) on the top. The Last strategy is the vintage tower located inside the building, It allows older people’s recycle rubbish transformed into vouigng clothes.

While all the negotiating places will show the attributes of their prototype "CityHall".

“While the government’s benefits support for people in work will provide a vital lifeline for some, it won’t help everyone in need. The months ahead are going to be very hard with soaring food and energy prices on top of extortionate and rising rents. If struggling families are to stand a chance at recovery, the government has to build decent social homes - it is the only solution to homelessness that will last.”

Born homeless is an unfortunate thing. Children who born into Homeless families are more likely to become addicted to drugs and alcohol as they grow up and thus remain Homeless. Home, as a concept buried in the subconscious of all people, may be an untouchable idea for the homeless.

This Housing Project is located in Cardiff. It was aimed to Provide Shelter for homeless people. By focusing on the idea of home, this project will provide an ideal space for lost families and homeless people.

Homeless people can be divided into Families homeless and single homeless, looking into further investgation, I found that there is two type of client who would eventually live andafter family homeless can be further divided into families or couples. By in my housing project : family homeless and single homeless. though questionnaire and research, conducting questionnaires and research, the homeless's wishes are concluded, from different group can be visulized. family homeless bigest wishes are 1. space for kids to anddesires the wishes are then translated into beautiful daily moments and spatial run with. 2. kids have their own room. 3. kids can be looked after when they are working.

The site is enclosed by 2 buildings to protect the homeless inside and allow them to have stronger sense of realm After using appropriate strategies, four housing types were arranged on the site, with family types closer to the entrance and single types placed further inside. This is because the single homeless need more protection, while family homeless are more willing to get intouch with the society Different stories(rooms) will be connectede by a shared balcony, forming a street inside the building, in this way, people will be connected and more familiar with each other.

Working experience in KKAA is quite enlightening. I fully understood the partializing theory of Mr Kuma by designing the envelope of a large scale planning project. Structural issues related to different choice is also needed for consideration. How each joint will affect the structure and looking from the human angle.

Regarding material consideration, communication with the manufacturer and sample comparison is required before deciding the material option.
