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.

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.

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

PHYSICAL DETAIL MODEL express detail and connection way

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.

Bath In The Shell 9

The Body in Nature

Competition/ China Academy of Art

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.
