The RAMAPOUGH CULTURE MUSEUM

The museum explores the spacial typology based on the Wigwam, the Native American dewllings. I try to transform the phenomenon and features of Wigwam into the project. Neither enclosure and columns in the Wigwam are straight. Also, Native American utilize barks flatten by heavy tones as insulation, and insert barks inside the gap between skeleton. They will also leave a aperture upon the roof for leaking smokes out. Those characters trigger me a lot when I design the museum. Another important clue in the site is the split rock. Those heavy and rustic rocks squeeze the negative and narrow space.

The entrance of museum is extruded by curvy and oblique walls, the experiment is similar to the split rocks. Then visitors will enter a bright and open lounge with the reception. The zigzag corridor will introduce people to two different exhibition hall. The structure of one faced to the east is exposed, curator could take advantage of the flexible space, like setting exhibition walls between each columns. Thinking about the rainwater, the inverted cone roof with gullet could drain rainwater into the mini courtyard inside the module.

There is also a larger courtyard inside the exhibition hall. The whole space was divide by the timber wall into a loop sequence, also with some separate cells for video display and mechanical purpose. The end of the corridor is the restrooms and staff office.

The section cut of exhibition hall with inverted roof aperture shows how the light shape the space, and the distribution of mini courtyard for the drain of rainwater. The roof was constructed and covered by the wood tiles, which is similar to the wigwam. The structure here was hidden and covered by the plywood.

LIBRARY ON TERRACE

Role in Team: Plan & Section & Detail & Site Model & Structure Model

Over the last 20 years of China’s rapid urbanization, roughly one million villages have vanished. Young people move to big cities, and thousands of hollowed out villages face elimination.

The renovation project “Library on Terrace” took place in China’s southeastern inland, an area dominated by hills.

The project rests on the old site of the Villagers’ Hall. It took the form of a 35m x 23m three-story space. The previously closed hall structure is now more open, thus corresponding to the openness of the surrounding landscape.

Structure

These columns are connected with beams, each of which is a lap scarf of the other, forming a weave-like system. The horizontal connection between units provides a stable stress system — the more compressed the structure, the more stable it becomes.

The layout of this small public library is unrestrained and open. The axis intertwines with the tree columns, and the setting of the furniture and the stairs intertwines with the axis, creating a complexity between vision and the experience of intra-dimensional accessibility, tranquility and openness, as well as a sense of containment and transparency.

Tree Column System

Every series of multiple columns consists of a tree-like structured system. The load is transferred vertically but can be also directed into the horizontal grid system, and torque forces offset each other.

Experience Of Space

The ground floor of the building is elevated, with two paths connecting adjacent platforms. The first floor is covered with coarse slate. Visitors enter the library through the glass door. After passing through the translucent door, the floor covering transforms into terrazzo — a transition from outside to inside, from rough to subtle.

Detail

A small amount of fully-transparent or semi-transparent materials, such as glass , serve as the background of the traditional wooden structures. The triangle glass window can be open from inside. The spatial division and organization still exist and is reinforced by the distinct forms and contrasts with the traditional materials.

The proposed design for the school is aimed at creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment. The design takes into account the surrounding buildings and follows the original 'H' plan to blend in with the context. However, the design also incorporates several twisting atriums that penetrate the old system, creating an animation of the school's inner space that contrasts with the outside.

The goal is to build spatial coherence between the atriums and the programs that are hung on them, while also demonstrating how dynamic objects can interfere with the inner space.

SchemePhysicalModel

The physical conception model of the school creates an overview of one of the atriums, showing how the transformation of the thickness of the wall shapes the space. Thin walls divide the space, while thick walls contain chambers. The difference in programs also controls the thickness of the walls, and the sectional collage encourages the creation of dynamic space.

Role in Team: Design & Plan & Section & Detail & Renders

The Piscina Mirabilis Contemporary Art Museum celebrates the infinite cycle of water in the poignant reflection of a bygone era while interfacing with the present time. The new programme is envisaged as a vessel of programs contained in a proposed structure over the 'ruin' of the column forest buried below. The new structure floating above serves as an additional threshold for the existing monumental space, compelling viewers before and after their meditative exploration within the reservoir. In constant dialogue with the ruin, the dense structure filters light, organizes water and hosts new programs, bringing added layers of purpose to the ruin.

The new structure becomes the interstitial space to experience contemporary art and the ruins. Oriented at the centre of the courtyard, the pool with a clear glass base will contain rainwater collected by the roof, it meanwhile acts as the aperture of the ruins below it.The entirety of the holistic programme serves as a vehicle of integration between the past and the present, antiquity and modernity, oneself with all of humanity.

ROLE IN TEAM: Concept Design & Tensegrity Design & Plan & Section & Detail

Concept

Zicheng as the City Hall of ancient Jiaxing city, built 1700 years ago, is the only preserved gatehouse in China Jiaxing City. The ruin mainly includes ancient pavement bricks from Qing and Ming dynasty with tremendous archaeological v·alue.

Just like a mountain, half of the museum is under the ground . Through the museum’s window, tourists can only view the relic and exhibition underground; they can not enter the architecture from the facade, since the entrance to building is on the roof, which is both a plaza and an entrance. Tourists ramble from the sculpture stair down to the relic.Passing through columns of tensegrity seems like walking through in a forest.

Tensegrity Structure

Tensegrity is a structural principle based on the use of isolated component under compression inside a network of continuous tension, in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other and the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially.

Tensegrity is a kind of extremely highefficient structure, which cover a large area with a minimum of materials. The structure integrity based on the combination of a few simple design patterns expresses mechanical stability, and allow the members to remain in tension/compression as stress on the structure increases. Features complement adaptive architecture

The whole structure can be fabricated in industries, then be sent to the lyric site and construct. The entire process only takes few weeks. With the excavating of new heritage area , the heritage museum can be easily extend to meet the need.

ROLE IN TEAM: Concept Design & Structure Design & Plan & Diagram

Concept

Our ancestor used to live in cave, where his heart and soul connect direcrly to the mother nature. But human being has disconnected with nature for a long time since we started living in boxes. Hard edges and cold corners have hindered our senses, we become clumsy in sensing the nature. The bath design therefore wishes to re-establish this long lost relationship with nature. It takes the form of sea snail shell, its internal cavity is generated through intertwining two spiral volumes into each other. The bath is where we nake ourselves, like the invulnerable snail in its shell, to let our heart and soul be as one with nature.

Experience

There is a sequence of experiences before people arrive the center of the bath, which is defined by varied floor levels. Raw stone become chairs, tables or even steps.

When people approach the center bath, he must bend down to step over a low entrance, which is not only the portal connecting inside and outside natures, but also the key point for people to choose between two baths with entirely different spatial experience and atmosphere.
