Growing awareness of the environmental and cultural impact of architecture has led to a deeper appreciation for the value of existing structures.

Reusing on-site materials and breathing new life into old buildings has become not just a practical solution, but a meaningful way to preserve memory and reduce waste. These values now extend into new construction as well, where thoughtful design can re昀氀ect the same care for context, sustainability, and long-term responsibility.

Rehabilitation Transformation of A Hillside Village

We hope to use the orange and pomelo technology of Guanbu Village and Anran Farm as the specialties and the base for industrial development.

Facing multiple challenges - how to utilize the stock base effectively, how to attract traf昀椀c to Guanbu Village and generate economic benefits for its sustainable development. We propose a two-pronged parallel design strategy, one is to do an acupuncture type of renovation, while keeping the boundaries of the house base unchanged, using the spatial activation of the stock of buildings and the ecological restoration of the original environment as the entry point, so as to realize the new life of the old village, and the other is to stimulate the media effect that can draw traf昀椀c through the establishment of a public space.

The most notable change is the addition of a connecting corridor linking the old and new buildings, which, while becoming a public space, can be used as a space for sharing orange pomelo technology, and can also make it easier to walk around the village and get around between different functional areas.

The second distinctive feature is the unification of the old and new buildings in terms of construction method and form, which contributes to the unity of the village.

Rhythm Square Green Plaza and Art & Design Workshops

Located on the banks of the Grand Canal in Hangzhou, the predecessor of LOFT49 can be traced back to the Hangzhou Chemical Fibre Factory, which was founded in 1958, and developed into the Blue Peacock Nylon Branch Factory in the 1980s. 2003, with the transformation of the city's urban construction and industrial structure from industry to tertiary industry, the idle industrial factory buildings attracted a large number of artists to gather here on their own initiative.

I proposed to transform the abandoned factory building into a community activity centre that integrates historical storytelling, art and design workshops and exhibitions, senior and children's activity space, and community green space, transforming the abandoned building that cuts off the community's texture into the heart of the community that unites vitality

Harvest Beyond Food reverse logistics

For food, its life starts from growing, and then harvest, then being sent to restaurants and markets, then most of wasted food or unused food will be directly sent into land昀椀ll.As we have to consider two categories, we choose food and home improvement, our project focuses on the changing logic of recycling in the TIME dimension, aiming to extend the life cycle of food and home improvement to achieve sustainable resource recycling.

I introduced an on-site waste collection machine, which remolds crushed waste into bricks by using active organisms (mainly mushroom mycelium) as a binder.I want to create a system of reverse logistics majorly in the food industry and provide new possibilities of abandoned materials.

Characteristics: Longer maturation period, mainly used for laboratory ‘food concrete’ research, exploring the feasibility of combining food waste with construction materials.

Category 2: Supporting Education and Interactive Experiences types: strawberry, cucumber, cherry tomato.

Characteristics: Short ripening cycle (about two months), suitable for children and teenagers to provide planting experience education, so that they can understand the whole process of crops from sowing to harvesting.

Echo Hill Where Memory Meets Modernity

As a product of the conflict and integration of rapid urban development and the dualistic system of urban and rural areas in the era of planned economy, the high-density living environment and low rents carry the ideals of many young people who come to Hangzhou to build their dxreams, and are an important part of the ecological balance of urban development.

Exploring the model of urban village transformation, while taking into account the original texture of the urban village and the environmental status of the surrounding city.

The village in the city has improved my quality of life. It is no longer just a foothold to muddle along.

We will consider the reconstruction of urban villages as a whole, and then consider the development of urban villages in the whole city after trial operation.

We have a lot of free play space.It's easier for us to 昀椀nd friends here.

Don't have to drive on the narrow roads of the community with trepidation, which also reduces the risk of being scratched.

The Infinitely Extendable Facade Furniture With Infinite Possibilities

Thinking 昀椀rst about furniture and implementing the concept of modularity in furniture and then to the curtain wall, different functional spaces have different needs for enclosing interfaces, for example of昀椀ces need good lighting and the interface needs to be more permeable, while residences need interfaces with better privacy without affecting the lighting, museums preferably have no direct sunlight and interfaces that provide diffuse re昀氀ections.

The combination of multiple units allows for a variation in the texture of the curtain wall that is responsive to the functional properties of the internal space and the external environmental elements.

Construction Method Step 1

Laminated print of the inner and outer surfaces of the component.

Step 2

The voids between the inner and outer surfaces of the component are 昀椀lled with a polyurethane foam to replace the 3D printed support. This ensures structural strength, reduces overall weight, saves printing material, is economically sound and on the other hand ensures the integrity of the outer surface.
