In addition to foundational knowledge in architectural and urban theory, history, representational techniques, design methods, form-making, strategic-development, systemic thinking, etc.; new research methods, and rhetorical formats, and spatial visions formulation should be introduced as a basis to contribute novel spatial responses to the evolving conditions of our time. The new Cheongju Cityhall is not the grand utopia of political version of “total planning”, but it is the future collage of citizen participation and observation. It accommodates the whole range of utopias in miniature. It should project the requirement of everybody. The “City Projection” present the connection between government and citizens in a spatial form and reflects the value of the past, the present, and the future.

Projection of Memory

Projection of Urban Life

1. The new footprint: the current footprint of existing buildings are part of the memory of urban fabric, which create harmony atmosphere in scale fitting for the large urban context. The new foot print is not only the replica of status quo, but also is to read as new representation, which is given to urban context with new social interaction. The interaction includes open outdoor theatre, sculpture art garden, basketball field, skateboard sphere, and etc. The Scenario is given back to public and it will be redefined by the public.

3. Diveristy: As Richard Sennett mentioned, “the city is the place where the strange meet”. The urban Life should be inclusive with friends and strangers. “By the 18th Century, when people spoke of the world as a theatre , they began to imagine a new audience for their posturing - each other, the divine anguish giving way to the sense of an audience willing to enjoy, if somewhat cynically, the playacting and pretences of everyday life.” The city is the stage, and the citizen is the actor.

The positive urban space is packed with spontaneous urban activities and they are intertwined as a holistic form. The diversity shows the expression of the city. It is not only an entire activities park, but also need be performance from individuality. The platform with 28,459 m2 is all activated and finally it will become the source of urban vitality.

2. The old Cheongju Cityhall: It become the node of new meeting place, between civil servants and the local citizens. It keep the four sides of facade, but is infilled by an open large meeting hall (460m2) with four floors height. At top, we set up a coffee lounge for both civil servants and citizens.

Projection of Citizenship

Projection of Public

4. Citizenship: A citizen is a member of a political community who enjoys the rights and assumes the duties of membership.

The citizenship also reflected on the level of participation among the citizen.

The platform is not only the place for behaviour, but also for participate. The place accommodates the requirement of events, organised and controlled by the authority, but it is operating together.

The voice of the citizen could be heard loudly, but it is also supervised by the authority. The diversity place of enclave is much more defined by the requirement of local citizen. It is the adaptable place instead of the fixed emptiness. The interior of meeting room, it also organised by different classes or parties, aiming to approach the issue from different directions. The old city hall what we keep could be observed as the intersection between authority and citizenship.

5. 100% Public: It is the 28,459m2 public platform which arranged by citizen. The public life has become a matter of formal obligation. Most citizens approach their dealings with the state in a spirit of resigned acquiescence, but this public enervation is in its scope much broader than political affairs.

Projection of Together

Projection of Urban Life

7. Urban Agglomeration: the society is living with people who differ-racially, ethnically, religiously, or economicallyis the most urgent challenge facing civil society today. The new platform is the agglomeration.

9. Intellectual Society: As the intellectual society, the idea is the public resource need to be shared. For the educated person of a society, participating in the public sphere—the political affairs of the city state—is a civic responsibility.

According to the adjacent urban context, there has a lot education facilities, such as Chejongju university, Cheongju Sangdang municipal library, Chungbuk Career education institute and etc. The platform has be knowledgable place for students to attend, according to different education events and social public lecture or presentation. In the meanwhile, when the decision- making by the authority, the advanced knowledge platform become the “City Think Tank” organised by the specialist from the university, government, and local representation.

8. Site Agglomeration: The integrated Cheongju City, working as a whole, need to present working cooperation and communication in efficiency, The first integration is to condense the 9,220m2 w o r k place i nto a tow er, combi ng 4,700m2 affiliated space for the city hall.

Its composition reflects the most efficient working flow connected with 6 fast lifts and integrated staircases, in order to achieve the most efficient working mode in-between the different bureaus. The openness in the tower accommodates the 4,700m2 affiliated space and common use space and even further urban context.

6 PROJECTIONS TO THE NEW CITYHALL

6. Connection: in the micro-scope of the urban context, it is multi-connected with context, the accessibility is reflection on the different direction road from surrounding. The roof top is also the platform to be public, open for 24 hours events, and absorbing the people flowing from multi-direction. In the meanwhile, it also setup by a diagonal strip, connecting with the north and the south of the site and penetrating the existing city hall, where also open for public meeting space.

CURRENT CONDITION OF FERAL NATURE IN DENMARK

Four Nature in Denmark

Biodiversity in Denmark

The fourth type of nature is the nature grows in the area that is charac-terized by previous human exploitation

Soil pollution caused by human activities has led to the loss of biological habitats which brings Denmark witl a low level of biodiversity

Agricultural Landsacpe

Soil Contamination

Agriculture Area takes 62% land of Denmark which will show a negative landscape in the fallow period

Farmers prefer to use chemical fertilizers instead of fallow because they cannot get income during this period

Through the mappings of the current condition of feral nature, we can intuitively feel the distribution and influence of human activities on the Danish national scale. The scale and richness of human activities determine the strength of human power in the gathering area.As we can see, human activities affect almost every piece of land on the earth.

THE TRANSITION OF FERAL NATURE

AN APPROACH IN BETWEEN HUMAN AND NATURE Compared with the other three natures, feral nature has a closer relationship with humans, and it also has a different effect on the soil than other natures. Feral nature responds well to the land contaminated by humans, especially that it can decompose harmful substances in the soil and increase the nutrients in the soil through its own growth process to provide better for other organisms.

FERAL NATURE & COMMON WEEDS IN COPENHAGEN Based on the strategy and the new system, we try to find the weeds in Copenhagen we could introduce into the program. The feral nature actually formed a unique landscape almost everywhere in Copenhagen. These species were considered useless weeds in the past and were not valued by people, but obviously, they are occupying different types of spaces in this city in their own way.

NEW AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION SYSTEM as a method respected by EU council, the benefits of fallow go far beyond just improving soil fertility. For the current 1/5/20 year fallow, they can restore the cultivation quality of the soil to varying degrees.

LOCAL SITE CONDITION

FALLOW STRATEGY

An agricultural field with diverse conditions locates in the rural area on the boundary of the finger plan

A combination of different fallow periods and farming land with the help of human movement with the national cycling system

EXSITING FALLOW OF FARMLAND The single biodiversity of agriculture crops will seriously damage the soil quality which will show a negative scene in most of the time.

The result of this damage is that the biology of the land affected by agriculture is extremely low. In traditional agricultural production, biodiversity and agricultural intensity have always been in opposite positions

INTERACTION LED BY BOUNDARY After human activities were introduced into fallow land, because the infrastructure and activity itself that carried the activity occupied a certain space and created a field, they defined the boundaries of the expansion of weeds. This kind of boundary makes different activities and weeds form different interaction modes and spatial forms after being introduced to farmland in the timeline

GROWING MECHANISM Reflected in a diverse site, the three types of activities will show different spatial forms of influence, like dots, lines and radials. These different interactions will make fallow land in different periods show different changes in the timeline. However, the boundary of activity is different from the physical boundary, it is softer and more interactive

03 36 COURTYARDS [ Barjeel Museum for Modern Arab Art in Sharjah ] An entry in the Rifat Chadirji Prize 2019 Academic/team work, Role in team: Team leader, research, stragety and concept, technical drawings and architectural design *All drawings are compeleted by Jiarong Yao unless the author is noted (page 15, 18) Instructor: Kai Wang Contact: kai@justopenarch.com Collaborator: Jining Zhao , Dao Wu the first semester in super senior, Autumn 2019 Sharjah, UAE

Cities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are in danger of losing their social and cultural identities after four decades of rapid urbanisation and construction since the advent of the discovery of oil. While cultural heritage underlines the relevance of historical, cultural and social anchors, the rapid modern urbanisation of Sharjah is erasing its genius loci. Although the carefully selected artifacts in the museum, the “high culture” in Bourdieu’s phrase, are regarded as the best material evidence to condense the history of the city, I think the subject of social culture lies in people themselves. People's behavior which is regarded as a vibrant “low culture” is affected by space. When the modernization of the city changes people's familiar scale and living environment, how to integrate cultural heritage into contemporary urbanism and so sustain a sense of place and belonging has become the core issue discussed by the Museum for Modern Arab Art in Sharjah.

Sharjah spread from the coastal (1930s) towards the desert (2000s) with the rise of a new urban mode. Prompted by the influx of economic wealth, generated by the oil industry and the desire for modern amenities, the vehicular urban layout confined the old Sharjah. The priority was given to the roads, at the expense of the social and community fabric, which resulted in the lack of the social and cultural sense of the place.

Public space is an important way to bridge the gap between crowds and reshape the social culture. Although the geometric pattern of square and the transition space of the private courtyard in Sharjah reflect the artistic and cultural connotation of the Arab world to some extent, the types of public spaces are so clear that limit the functions and the types of people participating in the activities. And it is still difficult to reflect the integrated social culture.

VISITORS AS CONNECTORS FOR THE SOCIAL CULTURE

Inspired by the concept of Flâneur by Baudelaire, we would like to open the ground floor of the museum as a city square while the main functions of the museum are put on the first floor. The social culture of Sharjah will be generated in the integration of different types of social activities.

In the museum, the concept could be transformed as watching city life on the ground floor from the veranda on the first floor.

THE GENERATION OF PUBLIC SPACE

There are two factors dominate the design of public space. On the one hand, inspired by squares in Sharjah, we hope to bring different geometric space experiences along the sequence from outside to inside on the ground floor of the museum. While the spatial sequence changes, spaces with different shapes could accommodate different types of activities. On the other hand, in order to maximize the integration of different groups of people with different types of social activities, we add the number of geometric edges in this sequence, so as to increase the chance of the meeting of different groups and activities.

The veranda on the first floor is based on the axis and the ground floor is further dividid to form a series of courtyards. The form of the enclose and the elements of partition are determined by the type of activities in the sequence.

Following the logic of generation, the structure of the building is divided into three parts: the courtyard on the first floor, the core space on the second floor and the peripheral structure

04 THE BABEL OF DESIRE [ Place of Self-Refelection for Metropolis in the Future ] A coursework in WHUT Academic/individual work *All drawings are compeleted by Jiarong Yao Instructor: Jing Lu Contact: Jing.Lu@whut.edu.cn the second semester of senior, Spring 2019 Future Metropolis, Real World with ultrahigh density

The motif of the design comes from the orientation and thinking of the future library. The explosive growth of information shows an extreme trend in the 21st century while the contradiction between the virtual and the physical world lurks in the competition for physical space. Based on the current pattern of information storage and production growth, this contradiction will break out at some point in the future. The advantage of modern information media in the virtual world lies in its infinity, which caters to the growing distribution of human desires. By organizing these desires in a certain sequence in the tower, the creation of spatial atmosphere prompts us to think about the possibility of establishing a new relationship with the world's objects and the space we live in.

Voluntary Prisoners of the virtual world & the Architecture that exist to disappear

THE CONTRADICTION BETWEEN THE VIRTUAL AND THE PHYSICAL WORLD

Electronic devices have become a new way of information acquisition. As an emerging information medium, compared with other ways of information acquisition, it is supported by the cheap and huge amount of information in the Internet, which brings great convenience.

In fact, information seems infinite, but the storage, backup and maintenance of information all need to rely on physical space.To further extend the advantages of electronic devices over other methods of information acquisition, people build as many hardware devices as possible to store servers and databases of information.

Because of the huge cost of storage and maintenance, information is cleaned up after a certain period of time. Storage devices can accommodate new information. However, in order to make up for the disadvantage of storage time compared with books, people try to store as much information as possible even those with low usage rate.

Electronic devices that rely on huge amounts of information do provide a better experience, and more and more people choose it as their preferred way to access information. But more and more people find that information in the virtual world itself is far more attractive than it is as a way to access information.

As a result, people kept expanding the amount of information to maintain this attraction, but it was soon discovered that the development of hardware capacity could not keep pace with the expansion of information, so people had to build more physical databases to hold more new information.

The more information people read, the more they want to seek. More people would rather believe the new media, a stranger without any credibility, than to believe the government that rules them. Under the influence of these new media, people addicted to the virtual world began to destroy the physical buildings that they thought could be replaced.

As the rebellion grew, they began planning to encroach on the city's land to house the machines that built their virtual worlds. Two factions have emerged in the city: those who think the physical world should be compromised to meet the expansion of the virtual world, and those who think the physical world has irreplaceable value.

It was at this time that the babel librar y of desire was proposed, a place of imprisonment and self-reflection for voluntary prisoners of the virtual world.

Detach from Information

The earliest libraries existed as private archives.

Libraries in antiquity were not always designed for the public to freely consult texts or take them offsite.

Not until the Roman period did genuinely public libraries allow all comers to come and read. And lectures, exhibitions and other functions are generally introduced to display information.

Along with the development of electronic devices, the library provides digital services for readers and tries to create digital collections and services for machine learning.

When information is everywhere and accessible without physical space, the library, as a real place, needs to help people understand the meaning of information and pull out those lost in information.

THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INFORMATION MEDIA

-23-

INTRINSIC VALUE

SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

Vengeance

is the desire for information.

Curiosity

is the desire to get victory

Competition

is the desire for aggression.

Curious people are constantly looking for something new, and the torrent of information on their devices feeds their desire

Winner will continue to pursue the victory, the loser will increase the investment to recover the loss. Unlike in the real world, you can continually input to get this kind of pleasure.

People used to watch executions to satisfy the desire for revenge. Some entertainment information also relies on violence to get people's attention.

Independence

Idealism

Stimulate

is the desire for self-reliance.

is the desire for social justice.

is the desire to get excitement.

Many people do not want to be controlled and seek a certain degree of independence in vitual world with which they are comfortable.

Most of the people eager to get the ideal life and work state, as well as absolute fairness like some of the games, but unwilling to put in the effort.

Most of the people eager to get the ideal life and work state, as well as absolute fairness like some of the games, but unwilling to put in the effort.

Power

Honour

Romance

is the desire to influence others.

is the desire to be approved.

is the desire for beauty and sex.

The desire for power can be so strong that it dominates an individual’s personality. Virtual world gives people an easier way to impose their will on others.

Some people have such a strong sense of honour even in vitual competition that they put it above everything else.

The charm of love lies in the ultimate experience of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. New electronic devices are dedicated to making the experience more multi-dimensional.

Acceptance

Status

Tranquility

is the desire for inclusion.

is the desire for social standing.

is the desire to escape.

The desire for acceptance can lead to an undue sensitivity to criticism. Sensitive people habitually hide behind the Internet to avoid other people's eyes.

The status of reality labels different people, and those who do not want to change it with action indulge in the virtual world to escape it.

People seek peace in the internet by escaping the real world, but pent-up anxiety, stress, and fear can themselves exacerbate the disorder.

Obtaining

Social Contact

Attention

is the desire to collect things.

is the desire for companionship.

is the desire to be focus on

The pursuit of wealth comes under the desire for saving. Some games use this mentality to increase user viscosity.

Each person is an isolated island but someone cannot stand to be alone for long periods of time.

Social software helps them escape this loneliness.

People try to gain attention in social software to enhance their presence, but in reality, excessive attention will bring unbearable pressure.

15 DESIRES FROM THE VIRTUAL WORLD On the basis of William James's principles of psychology and combined with the characteristics of human interaction in the virtual world, these 3 categories and 15 desires are selected, which try to cover all behaviors guided by intrinsic value, social behaviour and basic requirements of human. And then derived into 15 themes

A grid can only accommodate one person's activities, people could think about the meaning of the self without the social network

The equal form does not mean the equal environment. The ideal environment and absolute fairness come from everyone's efforts

Anti-Monitoring Ground

Endless Shopping Center

Undead Colosseum

The building's defensive stance allows you to vent all your desires here without control, but the end of destruction is chaos

You can get everything here, but you'll find that the gap to get out of here makes you have to give up everything

The combination of the Colosseum and the gravestone suggests that glory is not above everything else

Bath of Hierarchy

Chaotic Meditation Room

Focused Church

You can see different decorations from four directions, but when you strip everything down in the bath, everyone is the same

The mess across from the meditation room tells you that no matter how you escape, you will eventually have to face the harsh reality

The intensity of the light varies with the sequence while too much focus will create unbearable stress

05 URBAN INCUBATOR [ Knowledge-Based Community of the Future in Wuhan ] An entry in the UIA-HIP CUP 2018 international student competition in architectural design Academic/team work, Role in team: Team member, research, site analysis, stragety, structural design and architectural design *All drawings are compeleted by Jiarong Yao unless the author is noted (page 29, 32, 33) Instructor: Yusu Xu Contact: 50886632@qq.com Collaborator: Haoyu Zheng, Jiafeng Xiao the first semester of senior, Autumn 2018 Wuhan, China

China is undergoing a rapid urbanisation with the overall transformation from a manufacturing economy to an economy based on knowledge creation, research development and finance marketing. We hope that the urban center will be transformed from a consumer of urban resources into a creator. This gives us an opportunity to provide a real community based on the buildings in the heart of the city for these ideally young entrepreneur who cannot afford the high land price. Living, working and communication take place in customized units, which are organized and moved in the system according to specific logic. In this process, the traditional lifestyle breaks the original boundaries and becomes the motivation behind the urban renaissance.

The economic development of China's coastal areas has gradually led to the industrial transformation of inland areas. Hubei province in central China has the most powerful educational resources in China. Wuhan, the provincial capital with 82 universities, is expected to produce nearly 300,000 graduates a year, but it also faces the worst brain drain.

Wuhan, China

AVERAGE LAND PRICE (CNY/M ) 2

CIVIC HEART OF WUHAN MAJOR HIGHER EDUCATION

Linjiang avenue is located in the core of wuhan city. The economy here has developed rapidly, taking advantage of the great resources brought by ports along the Yangtze river. But it has failed to turn the resources of its urban centers into incentives to move into the next phase of a knowledge-based society, and high housing prices have discouraged a large number of creative young people. In order to retain these young creators, we need a more vibrant city center for them.

II Cultural manufacturing 2010s

Symbiosis between old and new industries The transition between manufacturing-based industries and knowledge-network-based industries

II Equipment manufacturing 1990s

Symbiosis between different industries Provide equal opportunities for communication between different industries

Symbiosis of the new community

Network sphere includes living, working and interacting

With the overall transformation of China's economy from manufacturing to knowledge innovation, scientific research and and financial markets, the new city center needs to satisfy four of these symbiotic relationships. Reflected in the system, in order to meet these symbiotic relationships, this megastructure needs to have four characteristics: transition, communication, combination and network.

CONSTRAINS AND OPPOTUNITIES

Low Opennes

Low Communication

A less open city center is not enough to generate enough vitality.

Conservative city centre led to the mode of production of the previous era dominated

The lack of communication between existing industries has hindered the establishment of new knowledge networks, which is the driving force for a new round of development

High Building Density

High Land Price

High-density urban centers with a large number of entertainment and service facilities are difficult to build buildings suitable for the new industrial system

High housing costs prevent young people, the prime movers of new industries, from living here. Along with the stagnant industrial transformation, wuhan has suffered a massive brain drain.

High Population Density

Industry Network

The existing building can only provide about 4 square meters of working space per person, while the old way of working restricts the transformation of the industry

The existing relationship could be transformed into the foundation of knowledge network system. A new system could be added to the existing urban centre to create an industrial symbiosis.

Frame-core Barrel System

New Space

Existing high-rise buildings all use the frame-core barrel system, which means that on the basis of not changing the original system, the structure can be used to expand the periphery of the buildings

In what form will the new space appear in the city center, so as to promote the transformation of new industries while providing living, working and communicating space

The ecology around the site faces a series of problems. A less open city center is not enough to generate enough vitality. A large number of entertainment and service facilities cannot turn the resources here into the power of development. The lack of communication between existing industries has hindered the establishment of new knowledge networks and High housing costs prevent young people, the prime movers of new industries, from living here.

These four symbiotic relationships correspond to the space with four formal characteristics. Centrality provides a good transition for the promotion of the industry. Linearity enhances the communication between existing buildings. Symmetry provides equal opportunities for communication between different industries, and radiation promotes the construction of the whole system network.

Information gathering and communication

Information output and implementation

NEW KNOWLEDGE-BASED INDUSTRY We hope that Creative industries based on knowledge networks, while providing jobs for young people, will in turn stimulate the creativity of these creators. The new industrial units will stimulate the processof information in the brain from collection and acquisition to output and application, organization and moving through the system to assist in the creation and implementation of idesa.

SYSTEM PLAN 1: 1200 @ A4 Built on top of the existing building in the civic heart, customized units could move on the circular trachs to connect like-minded users physically. In terms of function allocation, we try to replace private space with shared space as much as possible to further reduce the rent for these ideally young entrepreneur.

Alcohol has a complex role in Australian society. Most Australians drink alcohol, generally for enjoyment, relaxation and sociability. As Arden in north Melbourne will be upgraded from a concentrated industrial area to a commercial and residential area within the next 50 years. Although top-down government regulation is seen as an effective way to control problems caused by alcohol such as violence, traffic accidents and noise, while the lockouts will seriously affecting the region's nighttime economy, I found the bottom-up influence of public spaces on the behavior of drinkers could have a better balance between economic and social security. I redefined Arden's public space with the waste material shipping containers from the old industrial zone, and transformed the architecture as a predetermined imposed concept into a public space for social groups to reflect their self-value with the variable system of three hierarchies.

DRINKING AS A CULTURE IN AUSTRALIA Alcohol has a complex role in Australian society. Most Australians drink alcohol, generally for enjoyment, relaxation and sociability. As drunk people will bring a lot of issues such as noises, assaults and road traffic injures to the night time economy, Australian government has tried for decades to solve the problem such as using lockouts. However, the lockouts damaged the night time economy severely like what happened in King’s Cross, which used to be the most flourished bar street in Sydney.

the Closing Time of the Pubs & the Number of Liquor Licensing, VIC

DRINKING AS A CONFLICT BETWEEN NIGHT-TIME ECONOMY AND SOCIAL SECURITY Compared with top-down government regulation, bottom-up influence brought by public space can effectively control people's drinking behavior while ensuring a prosperous night-time economy.

Drinking Culture Most Australians drink alcohol, generally for enjoyment, relaxation and sociability.

Drinking without Limitation Uncontrolled drinking can lead to a series of issues such as violence, traffic accidents and noises

Direct Monitoring Direct control and monitoring will greatly influence this drinking culture and night-time economy

Indirect Monitoring The integration of public activities can make a better balance between economic and social security

2018

2019 - 2024

There are three liquor estabilshment in Arden at present and the main user groups are the redients, workers nearby and the stream of people from North Melbourne Station.

With the move of some industries, more liquor establishment will be established based on the cultural heritage and the activities. The pubs are gradually moving to the center, and the crowd is also driven by the consumption.

2025 - 2030

2031 - 2040

As the pubs spread and recidents can get a localized experience, there will be some activities held in these area like the beer festival or alcohol garden parties, which may attract more natives and form a local drinking culture gradually.

Finally, the pubs will go into the civic heart with the commericial and residential establishment.

Because of the cultural accumulation, the drinking atmosphere will become more and more intense.

SAMPLE_ 16TH SITE CONDITION I took the 16th site as a sample for the renovation and update of public space, and the rest public spaces of Arden will be able to design on the same pattern based on this. Site 16 is located at the junction of commercial and residential areas, which determines that it will be a meeting place for different types of people and activities. The workshop in the north and the cultural heritage in the south make the activities around the site present a diversified distribution, which needs to meet different needs at different times.

As an old industrial zone, Arden has a large number of waste shipping containers, which can be decomposed and used to establish this flexible system. The light steel structure with connectors are provided that public can easily participate in the transformation of the site, together with extra elements, to form the system to be flexible in three hierarchies.

Fixed Programs

Extra Elements

Starting from the fixed and temporal activities in the site, the drinking culture is used as the medium to provide different types of space in the site to adapt to the interaction between activities.

Function Distribution

Stream Line for Everyone

Determine the function and approximate distribution of the square according to the situation around the site

Analyze the flow of different people and the sequence of activities to determine the specific location of the container

Defined Area Use different colored tiles to identify the necessary route, with which define the area of expansion beyond the fixed container

-39-

FIXED PROGRAMS The surrounding traffic and main buildings will bring three main groups of people, residents, workers and visitors from different directions to the site. Based on the different needs of different groups of people, the activity sequences they need are organized on the specific streamline to determine the location of the fixed programs on the site, and the shipping containers could be transformed into facilities suitable for specific functions.

CONSTRUCTION MANUAL In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the surrounding group and make users involved in the construction of public space, I hope this construction manual will help people understand the whole process of project construction while enhancing the variability of the project.

People can participate in the process of project transformation with their families, giving full play to their creativity and making the project a space for them to reflect their self-value.

EXHIBITION MODE (INTERVENTION) Centered on the exhibition shipping container, the exhibition gallery is formed by linear extension, which is connected with the stepped rest space in the center of the site. The soft partition is used to guide the sight and streamline of people in order to control the division and combination of different activities.

BEER FESTIVAL MODE (INTERVENTION) Although the restaurant on the square provides convenient lunches for workers at ordinary times, the Oktoberfest facilities will center on the restaurant's containers, creating new communal dining platform and providing space for activities by enclosing a main internal courtyard. People at different levels will interact visually or physically in different ways.

NIGHT MARKET MODE (INTERVENTION) Centered on the retail shipping containers, the new facilities extend outward in different directions, forming courtyards of different sizes and enclosures. The night market will compound the inherent functions of the site through new connections, while hold the drinking activities on the upper level.

COMMUNITY EVENTS MODE (INTERVENTION) Facilities for community activities will be built on the existing playground and the residents from the east of the field will be directed into the interior of the field. In this case, the drinking area was compressed in place of a specific activity area. For the residents who participate in the construction of the facilities, this is a public space best suited to spending time with their children.

07 THE NEW REFLECTED ON OLD [ A Scenario Writed for Everyday Life ] Interior design for new office of Just Open Architecture, Shanghai, China Practical/team work, Role in team: Team Member, research, stragety and concept, technical drawings, architectural design and construction arrangement *All drawings are compeleted by Jiarong Yao unless the author is noted (page 43, 44, 47) Team Leader: Kai Wang Contact: kai@justopenarch.com Collaborator: Yihan Sheng Autumn 2020 Shanghai, China

The combination of protection and creation becomes a new type of architecture, which is intertwined and coexist. It is a balance way not to emphasize a certain point of "new" or "old", but to strengthen the logical relationship between the two. The material relationship expressed by the two spaces presents a contradictory duality, that is, separation and fusion, allowing any part to rule the other. The complexity of the space makes the building present an unstable but open state, but the site The art scene and the architectural scene benefit each other. China has gradually shifted from Tabula Rasa to a more sustainable urban transition (Sustainable Transition), which requires more respect for the original historical memory of the city and a new value continuation. Contained in the office space design of this project, the replacement of functions and the superposition of new scenes are behind the trial and reflection of urban space, which stimulates the metabolism of urban space again.

OVERLAY OF NOTATIONS JOA's new office integrates the marks of the "old" and implants the symbols and scenes of the "new". Instead of deliberately highlighting the "new", or ignoring the "old" at will, we try to think about how to derive a new framework logic from the old space system, maintain the tension between the two, contradict and coexist, and use symbolic elements to build the order of the scene.

OLD After 1949, many factories in Yangpu District were owned by the state, and they began to be relocated in 1990. After the historical turmoil, the old factories in Binjiang left a perfect framework to provide an opportunity for upgrading.

REFLECTION As the basis for reorganizing the new space, the space model of the original plant determines the new form of future office space, creating a scene suitable for office space.

STRUCTURE SYMBOL The different space function requirements in office use make the stack make full use of the original structure. There are two main structures for the mezzanine, four angle steels pulled up form a cross column to connect with the original main beam.

LIGHT SYMBOL lighting plays the role of ditch and contrast. For the third level, the "new" and "old" symbols are prominent, such as bookshelves, stairs, and meeting rooms with different color temperatures and different forms of lighting to emphasize.
