Portfolio
My hobbies, ambitions, and abilities: I enjoy drawing (Chinese painting and sketching), writing Chinese characters, reading (literary works), playing games, cooking, and extreme activities like skydiving and skiing.
I aim to find a high-paying and high-intensity profession when I return to China, ideally in construction. I am also prepared to take chances to start my own business.
During my architectural studies, I learnt a variety of applications, including cad, rhino, sketchup, procrate, and ps. I used to make money painting images on tablets using Procreate. I am skilled at working under pressure. In group collaboration, I am skilled at attentively listening to the needs of others and openly sharing my own thoughts.
Overall, my motivation stems mostly from my love of architecture. Every time I transform a blank space into a small building group with many structures, I feel a tremendous feeling of accomplishment and gain. At the same time, I am really interested in Le Corbusier's modern architecture and have written an article about the qualities and ideas in his works. I aspire to incorporate the architectural styles and thoughts of many notable individuals into my own structures, and I am eager to study their techniques.
In the future, my buildings must undergo sustainable development in order to decrease environmental pollution while also allowing the building to exist for a longer amount of time, reduce the time and energy necessary for manual maintenance, and achieve greater green environmental protection. It is most likely a Chinese cultural perspective, attempting to merge Chinese and Western architectural styles.

is project is aimed to create bonds between people and nature. e hanging garden, the cave cafe, and the nearby sea are aimed to convey the energy that nature brings. e village is no longer boring thanks to these structures, which also give citizens places to work, see, and play.
is work focuses on the proper organisation of architectural groupings so that each building has its own purpose while still having a good interaction with the others. e middle construction concept is based on Le Corbusier's nine-pillar philosophy. Before building begins, columns of equal length are erected, and the thought is enlarged on each platform.

e music hall here serves as a venue for cultivating the feelings of the local population. ere is also a co ee studio on the premises. Warm wood tones dominate the concert hall. ere is also an excellent spot for street performers nearby.
is building is a concert venue. What inspires me is the designing of a huge area layout. At the same time, the music hall is a somewhat gloomy setting, and lighting and sunshine design require more study.

e globe is becoming increasingly concerned about energy and environmental issues. is hot water energy plant uses available resources e ciently and o ers a continual hot water supply to nearby buildings. ere is an additional exhibition and o ce space in the inside.
I picked a complete barbed wire to wrap the outside of this building in order to attract visitors coming and going, and certain plants, such as creeper, may be placed on it to help with greening. is wire mesh has a unique structure, and studying it allows me to have a better grasp of its precise creation.

Conversion between new and old ——Design of Chongming Zhuxin Town Community Cultural Center
is project focuses on promoting puzzle culture and encouraging communication in design, combining the local characteristics of Chongming with people's needs and preferences.
e original idea is to begin with blocks of various forms, organise and mix these "blocks" such that the blocks of various shapes might become structures with various purposes. It expresses the extension and development of thought.
