As a traditionally rural- based country, the countryside of China has undergone drastic changing settings since the hasty urbanization procedure and township development over last thirty years. One outstanding manifestation is how residents take shelter. The centuries-old dwellings with rich ornamentation or great historical value caught eyes of researchers, designers and developers, while the rising defective undertow in civilian houses is somewhat neglected. Rural residences are no longer related to their local context, through wide acceptance of western styles and easy access to modern, standard non-regional materials. In the lower Yangtze River region (also known as Jiangnan district), where the Chinese classic garden culture originates, the built environment condition is far more severe, due to the clash between tradition and the fastest pace modernization across the country against the intrinsic classic garden culture. As a prominent dwelling typology, the architectural language of the garden residence, together with the traditional Chinese aesthetic values, is slipping away. The traditional home, with its living habits and customs, is no more.

It is only when people realized that memories evoked in certain places (lieux de memoire ) no longer correspond to the changed surroundings will they become especially aware of changes that had taken place.1 By intervening within a family house compound with characteristics of western and Chinese residences in the rural Jiangnan District, my thesis investigates the current relationships between heterogeneous and local elements, seeking for an optimal solution that could be applied to any number of impacted habitats dwellings in the rural areas. My intervention strategy aims to embrace various elements into one integral unit, by using the versatility of the non-native elements in new and distinctly indigenous ways. The connection between families, houses, surroundings, house- courtyardgarden hierarchy will be re-established in order to contextualize the rural residences within the region. The self-awareness and cultural identity in modern built environment could be restored from this point. 1

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
1 | Road Home: family residence renovation| 2019 | Guijiadong Lin
superpostition: existing structure with fragments of garden residences
Though the introduction of this thesis seems as a criticism on internationalism, which brought homogeneous pictures of towns and villages in the vast rural area in China, the thesis does not advocate a conservative regionalism or insular racialism either. The content of intervention is seeking for a method to embrace the heterogenous elements into an integrity. As Kisho Kurokawa stated in his concept of Symbiosis, it is crucial for a culture to maintain flexibility and adaptability in order to confront any possible impact in its ever-changing environment. The key to sustain vitality is to allow a state of tension between the part and the whole, the mainstream and the minor.1 The incorporating process is also a means of deepening understandings of our own language and re-examine the appropriateness of it. In this case, the heterogenous elements function as infectious organisms which stimulate the immune system of the structure operating, to protect the host in turn.
5
At the same time, the co-existence of architecture characteristics from generation to generation present a juxtaposition and reflection of the family's and collective memories of specific historical periods. As the French historian Pierre Nora once stated in his article Between Memory and History: memory in modern times is principally archival. It relies entirely on the materiality of the trace, the immediacy of the recording and the visibility of the image. The less memory is experienced from the inner core, the more it exists only through its exterior representations and outward symptons-- therefore the obsession with the archive that marks our age, attempting at once the complete conservation of the present as well as the total preservation of the past.2 False history is also a fraction of the past. 1

Colony of Hydractinia on back of a sea shell tenanted by a hermit crab. *original drawing
'Crab' carried genes moving from one host to another, due to the growing living demand. *overlapped with plan drawing of Humble administrator's garden residence, Suzhou
'Crab' settled in the new shell, which inevitably attracted new colony of organism living on the surface with itself in the sole entity, due to the exposure to an open environment.
Alien elements such as balusters, corbels, moldings here grow on top of the structure which make use of the shell's substantiality and transmissibility, will do no harm to the symbiontthe intrinsic building language. On the contrary, they will ensure the stability inside of the container as long as the main body have properly accomodated and well-balanced mutualist tension have achieved in between. In Kisho Kurokawa's words, " by incorporating minor elements into the purified mainstream, it is then an assemblage of various independent elements with a living, fluid existence."
*juxtaposed with heterogenous elements discovered on site

North End District, Boston, MA, U.S. 4890 ft2 13680 ft2 Corten steel, Concrete
This studio is preceded and informed by a conceptual and abstract exercise called Eurhythmic Enclosures , which consists of 3 parts: [A]. Investigation of Gottfried Semper's theory of Eurhythmic concepts via an image; [B]. Formal analysis of the interiority within an architectural precedent; [A+B]. Develop an enclosure/a condition of interiority based on the result of A+B. Then it continues to the studio project: an urban intervention in a Boston site.

The Garden of the Inept Administrator was built on the site of an ancient temple in Suzhou. In the album, Wen painted 31 views of the site, each accompanied by a poem and a descriptive note. Sixteen years later, at the age of 81, he painted this second album of eight views [as shown below].

Garden of the Inept Administrator , Wen Zhengming, 1535,1551
The album depicts eight static views of the garden. However, the sense of spatial sequence is achieved by the written description. Wen first locates the garden in the northeastern section of Suzhou and places it between two of the city gates. He then goes on to name each of the 31 nodes (e.g. one reception hall, one storied house, six bowers, balustrades, ponds, coves, brooks...) and to describe how to proceed from one site to the next by using phrases like “further west, along the bank” or “below this” or “on the left,”. Rather than portraying the sites in the record, he pays more effort in rendering a map of vocabularies that illustrates the spatial relationship of one site to the other. Readers' spatial perception of the garden then are gradually revealed following after Wen's text.

' Eurhythmic is closed symmetry and stands in no direct relation to the observer....It expresses the absolute concept of encirclement symbolically and therefore alludes to the encircled as the actual object, as the center of the eurythmic order.' .... ' The frame is one of the most basic forms used in art: no enclosed image without a frame, no scale without it. Eurhythmy comes into play only when the frame is used: a regular concentric articulation and order of formal elements that form an enclosed figure around the framed object.' -- Eurhythmy, Symmetry, Proportionality and Direction , in Style in the Technical and Tectonic Arts, Gottfried Semper, 1860 Eurhythmy is the stringing together of different frames and intercalations between frames. It is then neither an object nor form but a process that unfolds in time through a sequence of frames and intercalations.

The space of intervention is a void that evinces an urban transformation: the erasure of a part of the city of Boston in the early fifties to accomodate the elevated structure of I-93, as part of the midcentry urban renewal. The concept of this studio is to address the house as an interior and enclosure of life on the one hand and urban change on the other. The investigation happens in an historical and contemporary 'living' product of an urban transformation.

The first step of the identification of spaces in public realm, including public facilities (e.g. north end public library) and outdoor landscape (e.g. Rose Kennedy greenway). As a response to the erasure history in the urban transformation procedure, urban voids (i.e. public square and green space)are selected as variables for further geometric operations.

Since the 1990s, the influx of migrant workers to the cities meant that there is a massive emigration of young people in the rural area. This led to weakness in rural collective ownership of land and economic system from the end of 20th century. Public utilities, welfare and infrastructure constructions are hampered, giving birth to the emergence of 'hollowed-out' village phenomenon in rural China, which further exacerbate the urban-rural disparity.

This project aims at creating a brand new vibrant public space for local elderly and stay-at-home children, in order to promote the social involvement and living standard. Together with the community center standing next to the site, it is going to provide utilities such as a collective canteen, activity room, reading space, gathering space and public restroom.
assembly hall
The site is located in Fangjiafan village, Chuan'an county, Hangzhou, Zhejiang province in the southeast of China. Major crops are grain, tea and fruit. Right in the north of it is a local residence. To the south across a narrow alleyway, sits the community service center and the assembly hall.

The program is divided into two parts: Open and dynamic space in the bottom part; enclosed and quiet space in the upper part. Two spaces are connected by a circular outdoor ramp on the outer ring. Visitors have access to the community service center at the end of the ramp on the second floor, which complement the community activities and services.
CONCEPT
In regard to construction material, this structure employs local-accessible and easy-to-construct material, such as concrete block, bamboo,and light steel structure, in respond of local architectural language and low-cost construction strategies in contemporary rural region.

04[A] Liping is a most ordinary county in remote China. Due to the advantages of its inherent resources —— numerous heritage villages, it began to develop tourism desperately. It is always a dilemma when government was engaged in the ‘ tourism or conservation’ topic. It is not surprising to see such a homogenized county/ town here, since China has seen an upsurge in township development in the past decades.

This scheme start with a anatomy study of a grainary, which is still widely used till today among Dong minority. Grainary is the smallest timber structure unit, usually stand over water in order to avoid fire and mouse. It applies common and easy chuandou-style (mortise and tenon joint) in southern China. In this style, each Dong villages has its unique architecture typology, including drum tower, wind-and-rain bridge, stage, village gate etc,. material: China Fir, tiles function: grain storage cost: 5-8 people, 2-3 days advantage: lightness/ flexibility/ easy to re-assemble/...

This is a government-led scheme. Provided with a ringlike site surrounds the aged cinema, located in the old quarter of Liping, we are expected to put forward a solution and complete it before the Party Congress in December, 2016—— It is end of Ocotober when we got informed. The cinema is built in late 80s, and it was once the symbol of Liping. However, with the rapid development of the new quarter, this area was gradually been deserted; the cinema only seldom used for congress. ...Although this area has been declined to be nearly a slum, it still represent civic culture very well.

- Design Intention - The proposal attempts to create a community space providing two type of entertainment, by introducing contemporary aesthetic language into the context, while adopting traditional timber structure and brickwork in town. - By means of providing public services as well as stimulating cultural and entertainment consumption in this compound, hopefully this area could be rejuvenated. It is also important to awaken cultural identity and social consciousness of the public and the goverment in the near future. - This new structure also try to contributes to the society in aspects of social relations and economy efficiency via inject new buisness type.

Liping citizens do not have even one place to go to have a cup of tea or take a good rest till now, and the library nearby are not attractive enouth that it is almost deserted. Nevertheless, it do have the potential in transforming this area into a new decent, hygiene community center for the neighborhood.

” Yes, ancoats has changed but the people haven’t: there’s still a strong community spirit which is good to see.“ —— Carl
“I was born here, on ludlow street. ”We left during the slum clearances and three years ago I moved back... “Ancoats is okay,a bit noisy but I feel safe here. It needs more family space though, doesn’t it?” —— Joan
“ Ancoats has dramatically improved in the last 25 years... There’s been lots to photograph. Although living with the dust, mud and noise has been a nightmare.” —— Mike
“I’m nearly 21 and I’ve lived here all my life. I like it. I know a lot of people. ‘There are more new buildings going up now. I’d like to get work on one of those building sites.” —— Dale

The building as a true engine of metropolitan life. City as an architectural laboratory that already contained the seeds for its own recovery. The city should be understood as an ongoing cultural project whose reformulation needed to be grounded in a historical conscience (without overlooking at the complexities of life in the metropolis). An architectural project should no longer emerge simply as a self- referential building in the city, but as FRAGMENT of the city.
Radical Practice in Urban Context - Mathias Ungers
8 spaces were found within a five- minute walk around the site, which represent different spatial qualities.
These spatial elements were transformed or juxtaposed from city scale to building scale, in accordance with the spatial requirement of a school.
