SKILLS In 2020 I graduated from Politecnico di Milano with a master's degree in Architectural Design and History. Before pursuing my postgraduate, I had been studying and working in China. The different living and educational background allows me to perceive better the difference in discourse system between East and West and have access to a more flexible approach.

I have relevant experience on large-scale projects, including office buildings, residence communities, commercial complexes, school projects, and Cultural projects. More recent experience concerns sports projects ranging from wellness clubs to sports venues. I also started my exploration as a freelance architect by participating in competitions and as a visual artist cooperating with other studios.

ARTIFICIAL FISSURE Iceland Volcano Museum

Location: 65.6384028,-16.8956736, Iceland Spring 2020 Graduation Project Studio Supervisor: Massimo Ferrari, Claudia Tinazzi Group work with Lifang Zhang Role in Team: Conceptual Design(80%), Analytical Drawings (90%), Technical Drawings(50%), Renderings(100%) Aldo Rossi once talked about how perception projected into reality on the aspect of architecture. He introduced the concept “collect memory” mentioned by Halbwachs to help to understand the relationship between mythology and city in his book The Architecture of the City. He cited the case of Athens to explain why in antiquity the founding of a city became part of the city’s mythology. In Iceland, the Norse settlers first explored the island in the 9th century, bringing along with Norse mythology. The extreme even diabolical environment and relatively scarce resources impacted greatly on the lives of inhabitants so that myths, seemed accountable to all those dystopian ambient. Many legends were composed verbally, mainly Sagas, accounting stories of predecessors. Some were based on real events.

According to this, we can infer that it is the association between the landscape and myths that construct the early memory of Icelanders.

The Iceland Volcano Museum is a task of designing a multipurpose structure near the Hverfjall Volcano. It also serves as a visitor centre with multiple functions, including exhibition halls, offices and a café. We create the logical links between Icelandic landscape, myth and architecture, extract the organic form and materialize it according to vernacular architectural forms. Then we implement activities with reference to local cultural phenomenon. Like Aldo Rossi wrote in The Architecture of the City: “When myth becomes a material fact in the building of the temple, the logical principle of the city has already emerged from its relationship with nature and becomes the experience which is transmitted.”

Iceland lies atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the Eurasian plate and the North American plate.

Each year as the eastern part of Iceland drifts to the east and the western part drifts to the west, new land is constantly being created by magma welling up from the earth’s core.

The volcanoes of Iceland include a high concentration of active ones due to Iceland’s location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary, and its location over a hot spot.

SAGAS & EDDAS Sagas and Eddas are two main parts that constitute medieval Icelandic literature. The Elder Edda or Poetic Edda is a collection of Old Norse poems and stories originated in the late 10th century, which contains mainly mythological stories; the Sagas are prose stories written in Old Norse that mainly talk about actual events taking place in the period during the settlement of Iceland from around 9th century to 11th century.

Njáls saga

SAGA-SITE Many sagas describe how, on arriving in Iceland, the settlers explored the new landscape and ‘mapped’ it, giving names to prominent landmarks (fjords, rivers, mountains, valleys etc.) as well as newly erected, man-made structures such as farmsteads. Some sagas also gives an interesting picture of how natural resources that the first settlers came across in different parts of this area might have been utilised. The association between the subsistence and the landscape, vividly depicted in sagas, is uniquely embedded in Icelandic culture.

Instead of having acquired high urbanization as early as Greek city-states, geographical features play an important role in Icelandic life. Architecture, in a certain way, exerting as a vehicle of culture, endows the sites with unique characters as well as makes intangibles materialize.

Hrafnkels saga Egil’s Saga Laxdæla Saga Written in the 13th century, it tells of people in the Breiðafjörður area of Iceland from the late 9th century to the early 11th century. The saga particularly focuses on a love triangle between Guðrún Ósvífrsdóttir, Kjartan Ólafsson and Bolli Þorleiksson. Kjartan and Bolli grow up together as close friends but the love they both have for Guðrún causes enmity between them and, in the end, their deaths.

An Icelandic saga on the lives of the clan of Egill Skallagrímsson (Anglicised as Egil Skallagrimsson), an Icelandic farmer, viking and skald.

The saga spans the years c. 850–1000 and traces the family history from Egil’s grandfather to his offspring.

It tells of struggles between chieftains and farmers in the east of Iceland in the 10th century. The eponymous main character, Hrafnkell, starts out his career as a fearsome duellist and a dedicated worshiper of the god Freyr.

After suffering defeat, humiliation, and the destruction of his temple, he becomes an atheist. His character changes and he becomes more peaceful in dealing with others. After gradually rebuilding his power base for several years, he achieves revenge against his enemies and lives out the rest of his life as a powerful and respected chieftain.

TRADITIONAL ICELANDIC TURF HOUSE Grelutóttar

The Icelandic turf houses, based on Viking Evolution longhouses, date back to the settlement in the 9th century. The lack of building materials such as wood or stone makes the turf prevail since it is very easy to be extracted from marshes all over the island. There are at least hundreds of reserved turf houses distributing throughout the island.

Main Communal Living Quarter Four stages of evolution feature the turf house as a complex of various rooms organized by a single passage, which is the inspiration for a multifunction shelter providing space for visiting, sharing stories, rest Communal and even viewing.

Quarter Pattern Extraction The concept is conceived through three dimensions——Landscape, Architecture and Myth. Considering that the site lies right over the divergent boundary and the landscapes are in the vicinity, an “artificial fissure” is introduced and spatialized through Construction vernacular materials and forms. Finally, Pattern projecting perception into reality by inteExtraction grating activities with space shows respect to the local cultural tradition.

GESTALT IN GARDEN Pavilion in Giardino dei Semplici

Location: Giardino dei Semplici, Mantova, Italy Spring 2019 Final Workshop Studio Supervisor: Massimo Ferrari, Peter Assmann, Cristina Fregni Individual Work

In 2008, “Mantova e Sabbioneta” became part of the UNESCO World Heritage List for both cities represent “the most eminent examples of the two most emblematic modes of urban planning of the Renaissance, respectively the evolutionary and the foundational one. As such, they served as a reference for most of the subsequent city-building experiences up to the modern era”. Palazzo Ducale, acting as an extraordinary testimony of Mantova’s history, possesses a rich collection of Italian Renaissance and European art between the Middle Ages and the Baroque. Defined as a “city-palace”, it occupies an area about 35,000 square metres with more than 1,000 rooms and preserves masterpieces of Andrea Mantegna and Pieter Paul Rubens, etc.

The task requires an information center in the Giardino deI Semplici and the re-activation of the site. Considering the garden locates at the corner of the whole palace and it is connected to the city through an ever-locked gate, a new block is introduced to join the inner itinerary and the public city together, which turns waste into wealth and provides a new view of the garden. Applying the minimum intervention, the new volume strictly follows the margin of the site, and the classical appearance is taken as an example. The garden is kept as it is and the portico is reinforced. A lost trace is emphasized to strengthen the identity of the site.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF GIARDINO DEI SEMPLICI

GENERAL PLAN

In 1600, the monk Zenobio Bocchi, a botanist from Pisa, arrived in Mantova court. In 1603 he designed the Giardino dei Semplici. In the drawing on the right side, there is a building facing the garden adjacent to Domus Nova. This building, one of the entryways from the urban streets to the Giardino dei Semplici, would have been demolished later in the 19th century. The garden today maintains the 17th-century plan, renewed in the early decades of the 20th-century with a new design.

The Giardino dei Semplici intended not only for the cultivation of medicinal herbs with healing or mortal properties, but for the collection of many exotic or rare essences. The garden is organized on a rigid geometric plan with deep symbolic meanings, divided into four squares representing the seasons and the elements of nature: earth, water, fire, and air, and it is united by a small, always square source of water in the centre. The Gonzagas’ passion for this kind of experimentation leads to the creation of an alchemical laboratory in the basement of the Rustica, apparently closely connected to the garden itself, helping to increase the cryptic and almost mystical spirit of the place.

The evolution of the Palazzo Ducale lasted from 1300 to 1600, the buildings of Ducale complex were built around in different centuries by different architects who subsequently led to diverse architectural styles.

COMPOSITION ANALYSIS The garden is sited at the meeting point of two main development axes of the Ducale Palace. One comes from the urban grids of the medieval city and another follows the banks of the Mincio river.

One of the important architectural elements during the Renaissance in Italian courtyards or gardens is the loggia, a covered exterior gallery or corridor that is usually on an upper level, or sometimes ground level. In the Ducale complex, each courtyard is built with loggias.

The study of all the façades of every loggia in each of four courtyards will help to extract the proper form that could fit in well with the garden.

35

Italian medieval gardens were enclosed by walls and were devoted to growing vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs. Then the Renaissance garden broke down the wall between the garden, the house, and the landscape outside. The Roman garden layout had been learned and developed in this period which features a symmetrical layout with a fountain or a pool in the centre and the path organized along the axis.

New Headquarter & Polyfunctional Centre Location: Piazza Virgiliana, Mantova, Italy Fall 2018 Architectural Design & History Studio Studio Supervisor: C. Baglione, M. Moscatelli, G.E.E. Vita Group work with Simone Milani, Beatrice Miotto, Maria Adele Molducci Role in Team: Conceptual Design(25%), Analytical Drawings (90%), Technical Drawings(25%), Renderings(100%) Back in 1996, on the eve of the first Festivaletteratura, a group of Mantuans, united by a common desire, worked together with the Organizing Committee to bring their collective dream to fruition: organizing a bona fide celebration that brings together writers and readers across the city’s piazzas and palaces. The Festival plays host to world-famous writers and poets, some of the most interesting voices from emerging literature, essayists, musicians, artists and scientists who foster a more complex and unusual notion of literature that includes unconventional literary domains and languages.

The project is a response to the task of Festivaletteratura headquarter, which provides a space for events' organization and management. At other times, the premise runs as a civic centre with a cafeteria, a library, an exhibition hall, and an auditorium. The site, currently functioning as a parking lot, located alongside Piazza Virgiliana. The semi-circle layout implies the historical trace that dates back to the 18th century, which naturally becomes the start-point of the design. Through studying the historical development of the site and city texture, a series of circles are introduced to shape the volume, aiming at a harmonious relationship between the architecture itself and the surrounding context.

38

39

Festivaletteratura is a literary festival, held in Mantova, Italy, since 1997. Its peculiar formula is to host five days of small-sized lectures by authors from all over the world. The lectures are hosted in historical places and squares, and during the five days of the fair there are about two hundred events. The relativity low-profile style has already attracted many big names of literature, along with Nobel Prize winners.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

GENERAL PLAN

URBAN ANALYSIS

1638

Prior to the Neapolitan occupation of Mantova, the region was a swampy inlet of the waters of Lago di Mezzo. It was also occupied in part by the suppressed monastery of Sant’Agnese and an embankment on which there was the church of Santa Maria dell’Argine. In 1797, the occupying French general, Sextius Alexandre François de Miollis, filled in the swamp and entrusted Paolo Pozzo to design a park for ambulation with marble benches along rows of trees. This Piazza Virgiliana was inaugurated on March 21, 1801, and displayed a bronze bust of the Ancient Roman poet atop a high column, placed near the site of the present monument.

With the return of Hapsburg rule in the 19th century, the monument was disassembled in 1821, and the bust ended up in the Municipal building. In its place, an outdoor Virgilian Amphitheater designed by the architect Giuseppe Cantoni was erected in its place.

1835~1860

Ultimately systemin of 1919, green the amphitheater was demolished and the current Carrara marble monument designed by the architect Luca Beltrami was erected with a large bronze statue

by Milanese sculptor Emilio Quadrelli. Flanking the monument are allegorical depictions of epic and bucolic poetry.

The monument to Virgil was officially inaugurated on April 21, 1927.

“I am all the more convinced that we, as Italians, know nothing about certain aspects of being Italian [...]. Now I am in Mantua on a July night, where some Mantuans have come up with the wonderful idea of a literary festival which, year after year, takes place as summer draws to an end.”

CAMPUS COMPLEX

No.1 Tianfu Experimental Middle School Planning Project Location: Sichuan Province, China 2017 JZFZ Architectural Design Co., Ltd.

Status: Competitive Bid Building Area: 142,382.68 m2 Role in Team: Assistant Architect, Conceptual Design, 3D Modeling, Diagram Drawings The project is located in Shigao, a small town of 50,000 inhabitants which is 48km from Chengdu city centre. The plot is divided into two parts for two projects: the primary school is required to be designed in 50 acres of land on the east side of the plot, and the middle & high school is designed in 210 acres of land on the west side of the plot. Both projects concern three aspects: site levelling, circulation optimization and energy saving. As for the user experience, the traditional linear space sequence is replaced by a network, the triangular circulation and an aerial walking corridor keep the traffic free from interference, provide a more efficient and communicative campus for teachers and students in their daily learning and working.

MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL SCHEME

One of the challenges the middle & high school scheme faces is the uneven and complicated level difference. The existing topography gradually rises from west to east, but it is lower in the middle. Based on the principle of cost-efficiency, the site keeps the level difference as it is and implements only a minor adjustment. The earth volume on the east side is excavated and backfilled in the middle area, forming terraces for different functions: The administrative building, library, auditorium, teaching buildings are at the top, the dormitory is in the middle, and the sports field is placed at the lowest ground. The sports field and the teaching zone are connected by a landscape corridor. The level difference acts as a barrier in keeping the playground noise away from the teaching zone.

Red Sandstone

To echo the local landform, red sandstone is selected as the façade material and vegetation is introduced to make the campus environment in harmony with the surroundings.

PRIMARY SCHOOL & KINDERGARDEN SCHEME

Primary school design focuses mainly on circulation and energy efficiency. For getting students from the dormitory to the teaching zone more efficiently, an aerial walking corridor is designed to connect the dormitories, classrooms, laboratories, and art buildings together.

The fast pass facilitates students to reach their destination within 10 minutes.

As for environmental conservation, multiple methods are taken into consideration to minimize carbon emissions, including passive solar energy, natural ventilation, natural lighting, etc. Large spaces usually consume more energy. Taking advantage of the original terrain height difference, large venues, including stadiums, science and technology museums, and other large venues, are placed underground and semi-underground. Roofs are also utilized environmentally friendly. The experimental farmlands on the roof enable students to have access to agricultural and botanical knowledge. It would be great fun to study on such a green and natural campus.

RESIDENCE COMMUNITY

Bidding of Xingyang Plot-A2-02# Residence Community Planning Location: Zhengzhou, China 2016 JZFZ Architectural Design Co., Ltd. Status: Competitive Bid Building Area: 190,481.19 m2 Role in Team: Assistant Architect, 3D Modeling, Elevation Design, Layout Design, Roomtype Design, Bidding Documents Last decade China has gone through a nationwide urbanization process. As an important driving force that boosts economic development, the real estate industry facilitates the prosperity of many subordinate industries, it is a huge economic chain. In cooperation with the local governments who expected to increase revenue as well as attract population from rural areas, the developers purchased large sums of land to operate. However, overheating real estate market would lead to potential economic bubbles. By 2019, the housing-priceto-income ratio of China has reached 29. The government has taken measures to curb the soaring price by administrative means. While switching economic development mode needs a long-term process, it will take time to be testified.

The project is located in the core area of Xingyang. As a very typical project of a large residence community, it follows a standard procedure. The developer decides the product type and the construction scale in accordance with the local economic level and market demand, programming a ratio of product type which includes rigid demand and improvement. Then the designer seeks the best products and a feasible layout that conforms to all the regulations of local city planning.

“Landscape 4.0 focus on three military areas: the Pontieri Lab, enclosed between the historical centre and the river Po; the 'Pertite', former bullet factory which thousands of citizens voted to transform in a park when a local referendum was held a few years ago; the “Lusignani” barracks, recently making the headlines in public debate as one of the possible locations for the new city hospital that should see the light in the next decade."

4.0 case study: Piacenza

"The goal of this proposal is to define a capillary structure for the city that sets up a new landscape consisting of 'more space with less space' that, from the Po river and its tributary Trebbia, extends to its agricultural fields. This design strategy worked with some interval sections that pass abandoned military barracks."

"Then it is necessary to create and design spaces not complete but can be modified over time, from 2018 to 2050.

It was taken as a sample that the urban interval which passes through the Lusignani Barracks, here it has been tried to verify the temporal evolution of the uses — social housing, innovative production, culture — according to the project actions to be foreseen. There have been identified three phases, excluding the start point that represents in the first instance the ground zero. In 2020 it would be possible to activate the productivity for the presences of agricultural manufactures as a hub, the research and institution center as ‘gateway’ south-west of the city, the energy park production near the Po river; in 2035 starts the expo consumption produced by the innovative manufacturing; in 2050 the elements — points, surfaces, walls — continue taking up place in a replicable way and appears the innovative center.."

As a super high-rise project, the core idea is to maintain the volume as slender as possible.

The core comprises two respective elevator lobbies and makes the two seemingly separated blocks structural safe. An outdoor courtyard is planned as a reception centre on the ground floor which is inspired by the vernacular architecture form. An air urban saloon has also been realized on the top floor, which acts as an enormous hall for city viewing and commercial events.

SUNAC ERHAI RESIDENCE COMMUNITY Location: Yantai, Shandong Province, China 2016 JZFZ Architectural Design Co., Ltd.

The project applied cooperative work mode. Adopting a company-based drafting standard, all the profession worked on a same real-time network system, efficiency and accuracy are greatly facilitated. I also contributed an efficient method in façade design. By dismantling façade blocks into unique or identical components and correlating each group of components to the same house type rather than the building, I would update the façade automatically when a house type is revised or redesigned. It is both an error-free and time-saving approach when the program is pressed for time.

The complex is designed with a sum of 750 beds, including the outpatient and emergency building, inpatient building, medical technology building, maternal and child health care institution, and logistics complex. Basing the function distribution on the landform, the medical technology building stretches along the north-south direction in the certre of the plot with all the consulting rooms and wards distributed radially around. All the wards are south-orientated in order to take full advantage of the natural light. The service corridor set in medical technology building connects all the wards and departments, shortens the walking radius of patients and improves the efficiency of hospital operation.
