I think of architecture as a result of its own logic, the logic that generates a certain phenomenological experience. I am fascinated in the architectual phenomenen in the Lived World, the world of the natural standpoint.

Theater Feeling
The origin of theatre is the feeling that gathers people, and concentrating their attentions to a central area,which is the beginning of a stage. The feeling is related to some geometric feature, such as. the centrality in plan and steps in section.
Waterfront
It is human nature to step down from stairs to get close to the water. As all the shores of the lake are abrupt straight banks, the stratage of the north shore is to create public steps towards the water and sunshine, a place where the students can really enjoy the lake view. 3

Auditorium
The basic geometric feature that defines a theater is the centralized steps. The semi-eclosed place gives a sence of actor and audience characters, and stimulates gatherings and shows.
Public Space
The grand escalier before an auditotium has long been a place of social life. It is a common ground which eliminates the characters of actor and audience, generating an atmosphere of openness.

Public Gallery
The gallery under the slope provides a flat and open space, an extension ofthe public realm.
The prototype of the gallery is a historical reference of the plaza before a Greek amphitheatre, allowing spontaneous social life and club activities on campus.
Amphitheatre
The steps of waterfront forms a grandstand towards the lake, a natural expression of publicity.
The curves of the steps generates a gathering and focusing ten dance of audience.
Professional Theatre
The broad grandstand gives a theatre feeling, defining a territory of performance of all kinds.
The inserted boxes set several sections on the wide steps, defining the professional theatres in the boxes and the informal theatres between the boxes.

Bottom-up
The flea market is an excellent example of self-organization study, where vendor stalls and customers follow simple disciplines, and forms a spontaneous pattern.
A flea market is always the matter that keeps an undeveloped area alive.
18
Context and Inhabitants The different residential building types form a hybrid urban fabric, and the flea market phenomenon takes place in the intersection of the clusters. The newly developed point block have a huge setback from the road, leaving an undefined ground, which is now occupied as the flea market.
Flea market and Waste Industry The market is deeply rooted in the context, and a serious of joints can be found in the network of fluid space that supports the flea market. A major rubbish dump in the area is at the back of the market, interconnected with the stalls and a higher waste network.

Library Expierence
The library is not just a store of information, but a place that provide s intensive stimulation, and a library feeling. Atrium and wall shelves are elements that reca ll a library feeling.
32
The border of the building follows the coherent street wall, and parallel to the surrounding buildings. The atrium is defined by the roads and blocks axises.

The typical linear array pattern forms a standard, anonymous place like a supermarket. The search of books is an indirect process with the help of catalog cards or computers.
Searchable Space
The atrium functions as a content of different themes and categories, decorated with varied atmospheres, making the search of books convenient and enjoyable.
Common Interests
The layered space creates a space for the people with common interests. The gathering of people with common topic generates the potential of communication.

The opening of shelves makes a shortcut to connect nearby categories, which forms a shared reading space. The changable shelves reacts to the events. 34
Spatial Ritual
Bookshelves
The shelves contains structure, service and staircases, and defines movement along and across the shelves.
Reading Space
The shelves define an open structure, like the typica l f loors defined by the slabs in the skyscraper.
Atrium
Th e atrium dominates the ce ntra li zed space. It is a place w here people can searc h all categories of books. It provides a place w ith a theatre feeling,
which is the focus
of the people around . 35
Staircase and Service The space between shelves contains intensive service and stair cases, creating a scale transform with narrow and calm experience .
Meditation Place The diffused sunshine highlights a place with spirituality, a place to meditate and communicate while reading books. 37

REVIVAL
of Facade
Name of project: Office Tower and Commercial Complex Location: Tianjin, China Individual academic work 7th semester, October, 2012 Supervisor: Prof. Bian Hongbin bianyr01@126.com
39
Facade is Dead The clean and smooth surface of the contemporary mega buildings is more of a form expression, an iconic gesture than a surface of city life. The facade has become a production of curtain wall industry, rather than a representation of the space, program and structure of the interior.
40
Detachment of Facade
Tower -Skin Tricks
Owing to its height and scale, the facade of high-rise buildings is detached from the intensive programs inside, becoming merely a visual display of novel skins. The manipulation of volume and facade has lost the urbanological meaning.
Podiums - Sign Boards
The podium as commercial space contains giant atriums, creating a theme park, an isolated world of wonders. Thus, the facade is blind and solid, a sign board of advertisements and stimulating icons.
Facade Space Strip the Facade
As the scale of the high-rise buildings leads to unavoidable detachment of surface and solid, what if we strip the facade and create a continuous public space on the surface? A reversed typology is generated, making the facade of the building a intermedia of the interiorexterior communication. 41

Pedestrian Network
The plot is on the intersection of comercial, residencial and office buildings, and is an important joint in the commercial and pedestrian network.
The layout of the volumes is 4 separated squares of tower, podium, and a plaza, leaving the passages which intergrates with the pesdestrain system.
View of the Comer
As a corner of the entire business zone, the tower steps back from the corner, leaving a visual corridor open to the city.
The frame consists of simple volumes shows the city scape of the iconic towers, the image of a prosperous business zone. 43

The facade of tower shows a holistic image, an icon of enclosed crystal. The podium facade provides a domestic view, a soft surface with street furniture.

Internal and External
Plaza The facade opens to the plaza, forms a colonnade space with street furniture, a semi-outdoor space interacts with the plaza.
Bus Station A passage connects the bus station with the inner plaza, providing direct access to the office tower and the commercial podium.

In-between
The tense surface covering all 3 volumes forms a continuous variable section space, as the facade of the building. Unlike the atriums in the shopping mall, the surface space is closely related to the real world, manifesting the activities inside the building.
