A new model for dealing with urban-rural contradictions
Urban expansion is a historical process that cannot be reversed, and such development has undoubtedly generated more demand for agricultural output, but at the same time, it has inevitably encroached on the original farmland and agricultural resources around the city. As early as the last century, this dual motivation began to produce contradictions, but the early contradictions could only be solved by the destruction of agricultural land and the migration of agricultural populations. With the industrialization of production and the advancement of intelligence, we now have more possibilities to seek new ways out in the land transition zone between urban and rural areas. In these places, believe that the two different existences of urban and agricultural will converge to shape a new production model based on intelligence. Such a model would be universal, increasing agricultural production while also involving local farming populations, with a focus on creating sustainable urban-rural relations.Eastmoney Lake in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, is located on the edge of the city and has rich plantation and fishing conditions. At present, urban development is gradually encroaching on villages and farmland around the Lake, some small villages have been demolished, but more large ones cannot be moved. So, the local area faces serious problems.
I started with local specialty fruits such as bayberry, which is difficult to preserve but has high economic value, as the main crop, and supplemented it with three other crops to improve yield and economic benefits. In response to the reduction of agricultural land, traditional fruit groves are crammed into modular units and then moved into the air, together with other functional units, to form a scientific and orderly combination model. This combination will be moved and reassembled by the tower crane with the season, forming a high-efficiency bayberry factory. In addition, the whole factory operates according to a system, in addition to the matching between crops, different auxiliary centers are involved in the recycling of production raw materials, the use of solar energy, the transportation of agricultural products, production, etc., and the workers are directly transformed by local farmers, these measures are to ensure sustainable economic and social development. This factory model is universal, and can be dominated by different crops in different regions to solve the contradiction between urban and rural areas.

At the same �me, industrial development has brought new technologies to nearby growers, and advanced agricultural tools and intelligent management, transporta�on and produc�on methods have helped to increase produc�on
Eastmoney Lake in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, is located on the edge of the city, and the only main road connects the land by the lake, of which the northern side is gradually replaced by new communities, hotels and parks under urbanization, while the south side is still villages.
This rich place of cultivation and fisheries is full of growing vegetables and fruit trees. However, under the influence of urbanization, more and more young people choose to put down agricultural tools and go into the cities, leaving only the elderly and children in the countryside.When the weather encroaches or the busy farming season comes, the remaining farmers have little capacity to cope. How long can these farmers stay in the face of growing demand for agricultural products from cities? If the production mode that has remained unchanged for a long time do not update, how much production potential is left?If traditional crops are not supplemented by scientific research, how can they ensure yield and progress? Not to mention, the water quality in the lake has become more terrible than before, making it unsuitable for conventional aquatic fishing.
Farmers in similar areas are facing hardships that they lose their land, jobs, and even places to live, despite demand of agricultural products is keep growing.
Farmers in these places are losing the land on which they work and live
The sprawl of the urban fringes is upse�ng the balance between urban and rural areas
Horizontal
In order to ensure the increasing demand for agriculture, the cultivation land had to be greatly expanded,which is not conducive to urban development
Vertical
Transform traditional planting into a vertical model to increase yields without wasting land or severing relations between urban and rural areas
Production-intensive mode
Focus on the produc�on of bayberry and rice, 78% of the space is used to grow bayberry and the other 22% to rice.
Bayberry is harvested in spring and summer, so the model pays a�en�on to the direct light resources of the sun, and symmetrically arranges produc�on units of reasonable height from west to east to ensure that sufficient light can be obtained throughout the day. Among them, living units are installed according to needs to meet produc�on needs
Production-mild mode
Focus on the produc�on of rice a�er the harvest o�ayberry, 51% of the space is for rice and the other for bayberry to grow.
During the growth period of bayberry, in order to ensure the growth of rice, the model gives sufficient direct light to the rice, and places the bayberry on the east and west sides, which is suitable for the growth of bayberry and does not waste resources. The living unit is planted between bayberry and rice, as a link between 2 sides.
Production-residence mode
Focus on the quality of life of employees when produc�on is in a fallow period. 1/3 of the space is used to house the living unit.
During the fallow period, the focus returns to life, so the model becomes a group layout, with densely arranged growing bayberry trees as the boundary to wrap the living unit. Groups use living units to connect and communicate, usually do not affect each other, but maintain contact and circula�on.Rice units are appropriately interspersed.
Solar photovoltaic panels need to be unobstructed around the perimeter for maximum light exposure. The top of the bayberry unit is the best position, and the optimal installation angle of the local photovoltaic panels is 37 degrees It is expected to create 1750248 KWH of electricity a year, creating an economic value of more than 900,000
The transmission tower in the middle plays the role of production aid and structure. Only 8 towers in the middle have a crane with a working radius of 56 meters, which cover different angles and cooperate with each other to cover all working areas
Aquaponics is a new type of compound farming system, which combines aquaculture (Aquaculture) and hydroponic cultivation (Hydroponics), two originally completely different farming technologies, through ingenious ecological design, to achieve scientific synergistic symbiosis, so as to realize the ecological symbiosis of fish farming without changing water without water quality worries, and growing vegetables without fertilization and normal growth.
The entire bayberry factory is divided into two parts in an orderly manner, namely the production part and the auxiliary part, and the production part is built by the basic unit, which is constantly updated and changed with the harvest season; The functions of the auxiliary part are storage, transportation, secondary processing, aquatic products, and distribution.
On the basis of ensuring the output of bayberry, the intelligently placed bayberry unit also needs to consider the problem of lighting and ventilation. Properly pulling the vertical spacing of the bayberry units helps to form convection and accelerate air exchange. At the same time, rice units and living units follow the same rules. Between the spacing of the vertical arbutus plant is an open space for the transportation of ripe bayberry and the placement of various units, as well as an activity venue for employees and researchers in the factory.
Up to 6 bayberry trees are planted per bayberry unit, with double aisles on the sides, the lower layer for walking and the upper layer for transportation; Arbutus can be used as a landscape arch for everyone to visit and visit; Thanks to a smart film that intelligently regulates light and temperature, the bayberry harvest season can be extended by one month before and after.
Each rice unit can place up to 12 groups of planting plates for rice with a height of less than 1.3 meters, which can be freely assembled to grow crops of different heights and volumes. There is a lifting workbench in the middle of the unit for workers to pick and monitor crops, and a passage next to the rice can also be used for everyone to pass or visit.
According to the capacity required, the tower crane intelligently builds new units
The role of the community unit is to provide workplaces and public spaces for employees and researchers living in the factory, and each unit is replaced with a modular wall and divided into two floors, which do not interfere with each other. Research here will continue to focus on the production potential of bayberry and other crops, providing a more scientific and efficient planting combination in the future.
Generally, a residen�al unit houses a farmer or worker, a scien�st, and works from home. For families, 2-3 residen�al units can be combined for living.
Looking at the factory from the main road, you can clearly see the aquaponics area, then the production area where trucks and smart trailers move, and finally the planting area with towers with basic units. The three districts are connected by direct roads, and agricultural work is clearly organized
Inside the Bayberry Unit
Non-harvest bayberry is also a landscape crop, and walking here by nearby residents does not affect the researchers' work
The biggest feature of the entire bayberry factory is its unit combination that intelligently changes with the relationship between supply and demand, and the proportion between the bayberry unit, the rice unit, and the living unit is constantly adjusted, and even on the same production tower, three units will appear at the same time.
Living in Bayberry Forest
A small number of community units are inserted in three-dimensional agriculture to connect residential units to meet the daily needs of workers and researchers
Each production tower plays the role of structural support, vertical transportation and production support
Trucks transport fresh bayberry and crops, as well as processed products from the factory
The living unit is 32 square meters in size and is specially equipped with a work area
The Plan of Living Unit
Each dwelling unit is equipped with an energy transmission well to provide and recycle domestic water and to supply electricity generated by photovoltaic panels
In order to meet the growing demand for agricultural products, it is not enough to just expand the planting area or optimize the system. The center studies scientific methods that can improve crop yields and farming cycles, so that it delicates to promote the rational allocation of agricultural resources
In addition to presenting their own research results, it is indispensable to use education and publicity to arouse public thinking about the relationship between agriculture and industry. Nearby residents can take their children here to learn the latest agricultural techniques
The ripening period of bayberry is concentrated and the storage time is short. Therefore, once the ripe bayberry is picked, it will be placed in a refrigerated compartment, and quickly transported by autonomous board to a threedimensional refrigerated center
The water purified by aquaponics is temporarily stored in the center and becomes domestic water, after which the wastewater is used for irrigation or repurified by aquaponics, and finally the purified water is discharged back to Dongqian Lake to reduce water quality eutrophication
The economic value of agricultural products is much higher than that of the crops themselves, the factory set up next to bayberry produces agricultural and sideline products, such as beverages, wine and health products, which are transported to urban markets by the same transport routes
The impact of industrialization on agriculture is not only reflected in the increase in production methods and crop yields, but also in the lifestyle of agricultural workers. The small pocket park is not only a place for farmers to rest, but also an important occation for everyone to socialize
An energy tower that produces electricity at sea and hydrogen below
Qatar is not only the venue for this World Cup, but also the country with the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions in the world, specifically, about 600 times that of Congo, reaching a terrifying level of 35.73 tons of carbon dioxide per person per year, similar air pollution is responsible for 4.2 million deaths per year, and has become the fifth risk factor for death after smoking, diet and high blood pressure. Uninterrupted oil extraction and an unreasonable energy structure are the main causes of high pollution, and it is precisely because Qatar has never lacked cheap oil and gas that the people abuse high-emission energy and factories and enterprises do not care about environmental protection. Lucer, a new city built from almost scratch north of the capital, is not only about the World Cup, but also a sustainable new city of the future, where the energy-exporting country will find answers to a series of questions about population, society, consumption and so on in the process of industrial transformation.
In order to improve the sustainable progress of Lussell, I decided to combine the current new technology to convert Lussell's abundant solar and wind energy into electricity, which can be used to produce and store hydrogen in large quantities, and finally hydrogen energy will become a new energy source for the entire city, completely getting rid of the high carbon emission situation of the past. The whole system is based on clean energy in nature, so I learned the model of Dubai Building, added new ideas, and designed a giant solar vertical wind turbine standing on the sea surface to comprehensively convert abundant wind resources and direct sunlight, and the sunlight reflected by the sea surface. The electricity generated by this clean energy source is transported to the seawater electrolysis zone below sea level, where the seawater in a specific area is absorbed by the electrolysis network, the decomposed oxygen is returned to the ocean, and the hydrogen is stored on the high-pressure seafloor. Thanks to the high energy ratio of hydrogen, such energy buildings can significantly increase the energy content of clean energy, or even completely replace all traditional energy sources in Lussell.

At present, hydrogen storage methods are mainly divided into 4 types, among them high-pressure hydrogen storage is the most mature and widely used method, but there are problems in hydrogen storage density and safety
Storing hydrogen on the seafloor
Inexhaus�ble seawater is sucked in from the upper layers for electrolysis
The hydrogen is extracted and stored in the area close to the seabed
Oxygen is released from the lower layers and absorbed by seawater
APPLICATION OF OXYGEN
The Dead Sea is a marine pollu�on phenomenon, where certain algae and bacteria overgrow due to eutrophica�on, resul�ng in a large number of deaths of marine animals due to lack of oxygen, and the oxygen produced by electrolysis can well improve this situa�on
APPLICATION OF HYDROGEN
Storage columns
Structural columns
Qatar
The huge hydrogen produc�on and storage area depends on the presence of a tensile structure, and several columns are divided into structural and storage types. A large number of hydrogen tanks in the storage area can be moved up and down freely, flexibly mee�ng energy needs
12M 3M
High-pressure tank
Up to 350 tanks of hydrogen can be stored
Inspired by Dubai's Squall Tower, decided to add 75% coverage solar panels to the giant vertical axis wind turbine, so that this hydrogen tower can maximize the conversion of the abundant wind and solar energy along the Qatari coast. Qatar's frequent winds and plenty of light provided some assurance for my design
4 giant fan blades are connected by horizontal swivel arms to the tower body to ensure stability during rotation. The central site does not rotate, so it can be used as an operating platform, not only for workers to work on the site, but also as a place for maintenance and cargo stacking. Some activities can also be carried out here
On the side of the hydrogen tower, I set up a huge working platform, which houses the dispatch room of the entire tower, and a pier for the berthing of ships. Workers, technicians and Qatari developers can land buildings by boat, and not only do they have to transport goods through the terminl, so it can also be used as a cargo storage area
Plug-in style space for expression designed base on ‘ARCHIGRAM’
In today's highly developed industrialization, a large number of modernist buildings have risen from the ground, the homogenization between cities is becoming more and more serious, the individuality of each place is gradually being worn out, and with such development of the city, the places left for people's free expression are also decreasing. In the current social environment, people will be affected by public opinion and citizens' scrutiny and other factors. Afraid of being isolated, it finally resulted in the inability to fully express themselves freely.
The torrent of history is difficult to change, but what we can do is to seek experience from history itself. Back in 1960, Peter Cook and several young architects established an avant-garde architectural organization on their own. The following year, Peter Cook, along with David Greene and Mike Weeb, founded an independent magazine called 'Archigram'(as rhe formation of architecture and telegram).The design, architectural concepts, art reviews and creations in the magazine are full of strong futuristic colors. At the same time, there is an anti-heroism in its content that supports consumerism, advocating drawing inspiration from advanced technology.
In order to change this situation, we learned about the concepts of self expression and plug-in city that were published by Archigram. Moreover, we used common elements in the city to create a plug-in space that helps users to better express themselves out, to this big environment from the visual, auditory and action aspects

The main members of ARCHIGRAM with Peter Cook as the core are David Greene,Mchael Webb,Deniss Crompton, Ron Herron
The Archigram was a small group formed in the 1960s to take inspiration from technology and use their imagination and creativity to shape a new form of architecture. For them, architecture is not rigid and eternal, but changing and fluid. Archigram also support individualism, personalized expression.In the mid-sixties, the school proposed three famous masterpieces: Plug-in City, Instant City, and the Walking City.
The plug-in city is a research and design carried out by Cook, which inserts movable metal silos as basic components into the giant concrete structure, and different functions correspond to different metal silos. When the community is connected, it is only necessary to insert these changing function blocks into the main building, and it is done immediately. Inspired by this idea, I think that the relationship between the individual and the urban environment can also be seen as being connected by various plug-ins, such as displays representing vision, surveillance cameras representing behavior, acoustic speakers representing hearing, and speakers
Monitors, screens, stereos, etc., which can be seen everywhere in the city, are important plug-ins in the large space of the city, and these plug-ins are also the way for individuals to express input and output. If we apply these plug-ins to individuals, we can create a space for unrestricted expression.
Fluxus
Fluxus is a form of creation open to anyone, including artists, composers and architects, Fluxus does not have a single unified style, artists use a range of mediums and processes, adopt a "do-it-yourself" creative attitude, and often host casual artistic performances
VJ is a new trend in the future--the combination of music and vision. Its approach is like the concept of DJ, the visual elements such as images and animations are edited instantly and add effects.
The entire unit can be divided into three parts, performance area + image output area A and performance area B, sound output area. All three areas contribute to help to form space for better expression.

We use conspicuous tape to connect the user and the various plugins, representing the transmission of expression
In this design, everything is based on the progress of science and technology and the transformation of energy a hundred years later, here's how we created a future airport.
Over the past century, urban density has gradually increased, and cities have become more closely connected, which means that faster, more convenient and efficient modes of transportation will prevail. This trend has led to a new revolution in airports, but the horizontal development model of existing airports is clearly not suitable for the principles of efficient land use in the future, and does not closely connect the inhabitants of the city. We boldly believe that the transformation of major energy sources and technological breakthroughs in a hundred years will provide the basis for more reasonable flight modes, which in turn will greatly reduce the cost of flight.Flying will become the main mode of transportation for people, allowing people to move quickly within and between cities. The airport of the future should have a diverse fleet of aircraft and a decentralized presence in the city.

The city center was obvious, and the two major airports fully met the transportation needs
The city is bound to expand, and the sub-center of the city appears outside the airport
The city size became larger, and the construction of new airports or transportation hubs was imminent
Airport outside the city Airport inside the city Airport above the city
The airport distant from the centre no doubt will increase the difficulty to travel
However, a peculiar airport among skyscrapers is harmful to the traffic and residents
What if airports in the future floats in the air? There are more benefits than just convinient travelling......
The purpose of this design was to help the building of our college which we actually study in to be more environmental friendly, thus my crewmember and I decided to solve the problems of this building from the perspective of solar energy, which can be divided into two categories: insufficient light and uneven heat.
In terms of lighting, the interior layout led to poor internal lighting of the building, with the first and second floors and all corridors being dim, while the already insufficient light on the north side was even more insufficiently blocked by other buildings. And because the windows on the south and west sides lack shade, the classroom is always very hot, and even causes glare; The skylight on the roof is the hardest hit area for ultraviolet rays all year round, the students can only pull the curtains by themselves to block the direct sunlight.
In order to solve these problems, We redesigned the building's interior spaces, new skylights and patios are able to bring in soft natural light to illuminate the corridors and open ground floor spaces. We have also installed folding photovoltaic panels and photovoltaic louvers that can change with the height angle of the sun on the exterior of the building, so as to make full use of solar power generation while controlling the brightness of the room

In China, building energy consumption has accounted for more than 30% of the total energy consumption of society, and the energy consumption caused by doors and windows accounts for more than 60% of building energy consumption. In the transformation design, we propose a ventilated solar photovoltaic louver double-glazed curtain wall, which combines the solar photovoltaic louver with the double-glazed curtain wall, and uses ventilation and heat exchange and adjusts the airflow organization to achieve energy-saving effects
