This portfolio showcases design solutions and out-ofthe-box explorations from my student days, as well as back-to-reality excerpts from my internship work.

"Architects are a group of people with a mission for the world. Architecture can bring a little more excitement to this world, or a little more spiritual power. I forget which book it was, but this quote has always stayed with me and given me a lot of strength. After five years of systematic study of architecture at undergraduate level, in-depth research and design of cities and buildings, standing outside the actual architectural space and cutting into architectural design from the socio-cultural level is my main plan for the next stage of my life.

In the process of design practice, I realised that practice is to solve the problem of the relationship between people, architecture and cities in different dimensions, which can bring good changes to society and cause some deep thinking. Rather than usually doing design from site study or architectural ontological spatial strategy at the beginning, I think architects will stand on a more macro perspective and cut into the architectural design discourse from the socio-cultural level.

And then you can become an architect.

Start studying architecture in 2018 I hope there is no specific deadline for studying The deciding factor that influenced my decision to study architecture was seeing Paolo Soleri's Ciudad del Arcosanti on the internet when I was at high school, where the compact design and the circles were very important, The compact, high-density design and the circular slopes make it possible to have all kinds of recreation, relaxation, sports and cultural facilities just a stone's throw away, and no matter from which room you are, you have a complete view of the endless desert landscape, I was amazed by such a design, I searched a lot of Paul's related, and later learned about architects like Aalto, Ciza, etc. , Too many great buildings occupy my memory of learning about the world, though none surpassed Arcosanti.

Circumstances of the Defence Q-Tutor and other invited Architects A-My partner and I

Q(A):Facing the complex environment, how does your team use architecture to echo culture and history?

A:In the last century, this area was an important port for foreign exchanges, where people and merchants gathered. In 1968, the hub moved east, and the area around the base became a corner forgotten by the times. Until 2012, the port ceased operation, the operation of the century-old historical station to complete its final mission. In recent years, with the promotion of urban development strategy, the unique location advantage of the base has been re-emphasized, and the history and culture of the old Xiaguan has been newly inherited. The building needs to echo such a tortuous development process, so we oriented the main display surface of the building to the historical gateway and the old city gate.

Q(C):In modern cities, transportation is a very important functional component, and the traffic flow will to a certain extent cut the original historical and cultural links, how do you solve the busy traffic flow?

A:In fact, this urban design project includes the study of TOD mode, but this is not the most important part in our design concept, so we have made a reasonable vertical design for underground and surface transportation, our idea is still more idealized, the large staircase connecting the first floor and the second floor serves as a cultural hub for indoor transportation, and at the same time, it has the function of exhibition and leisure. Without affecting the main interface of the city, the pedestrian and vehicular traffic are vertically differentiated.

Q(B):There is some homogenization in high-rise buildings, and glass curtain walls and traffic cores are the main components of high-rise buildings, do you have any breakthrough ideas in your design?

A:From the early stages of design, our concept was to create a new experience that is different from the traditional leisure and shopping environment by integrating the architectural form with the natural space of the site. Respecting and utilizing the existing natural elevation differences of the site, we connected the three zones of the station, the retail space and the park through large staircases, green roofs and landscaping. Open plazas are interspersed between the retail outlets in the central business park, allowing visitors to experience the natural environment throughout the shopping environment.

There are many street interfaces and landscape interfaces in the city that have been neglected. On the streets, there are traffic jams and the danger of mixing people and vehicles, and the untimely disposal of garbage produces odors that bring no change to the surrounding residents. In the landscape along the river, the natural ecology is single, the landscape needs to be maintained but the access flow is not smooth.

Ⅱ What if ？

The way the world looks now is the way architects imagined it hundreds of years ago.

So every architect has to be ahead of his time and out of touch with reality in order to explore it.

The school years are perfect for entering competitions; like a blank sheet of paper, students who are curious about a lot of things and who think logically without being confined to the framework of a building can come up with some very interesting concepts.

（Concept Competition） Competitions with a clear or vague theme are a good choice. Competitions are, in fact, a release of the design ambition of architecture students and architects, and in the process of thinking, rationality will take first place along with logical deduction.

Dilirious Sphere ——Evolo 2021

Introduction Nowadays, the total population of the world is increasing, and there are more and more large cities. Global siper city clusters are distributed in all parts of the world.

With the increase of urban population, people have built many skyscrapers, but the urban land is still decreasing. At the same time, with the continuous increasing of high-rise buildings in the vertical direction,the service radius of the original transportation system is not enough to support the vertical development of highrise buildings. City life is very busy, people lack enough entertainment. We aim to explore how we should develop our future city when the urban development reaches the saturation state, and whether we can take entertainment as the main purpose and give the city new vitality.

Reclusion in Mountains · 山林之隐 ——UIA 2021

Introduction In the rapid urban development, rural space is constantly occupied and the impact of modern way of life, many rural settlements in China, including the design site "Onding Village", are hidden many problems slowly revealed, such as residential building forms, architectural functions, street space and public service facilities have been unable to meet the rural local people's life diversity of convenient needs, and the local culture is disappearing, people have lost emotional support.According to these problems, we put forward the concept of "decentralization",The essence of "decentricization" is not to say that the elimination center, but from the user's "first-person perspective" this design idea, the formation of a multi-center situation.In the spatial structure, we propose to divide the village into small units and form groups in small units.

Ⅲ Intern Participation Programs

From March 2023 to the last day of August 2024（may be） The reality of the work is a very big challenge for me, the building will be really on the ground, the design is no longer on paper. To cope with a lot of problems, the architect's ability will not only be in considering the design, but also accepting the communication with various partners and the collaboration with the construction team, these things are more complicated than learning in school, so it is a process of convergence for me.

Being able to expand my thinking on competition design is something that invigorates me and makes me enthusiastic, and learning how to think about architectural design under urban development from a macroscopic point of view, designing more comprehensively and in detail, and focusing on materials and textures makes my thinking more mature, which is a very good state of development.

The amphitheaters are skillfully integrated into the topography of the site, with three amphitheaters and an entrance plaza constructed in a distinctive geometric form, while flexibly incorporating the existing old houses to accentuate the character of the site.

The restaurant aims to take advantage of the logical relationship between the topography of the site and the original building, integrating the site's characteristics of being backed by a cliff and facing the sea into the building, and utilizing simple geometric forms to balance the elements of the site.

Miaozihu Island Pier

Hanabird Island - Chapel

The design of the marina continues the concept of "clustering" and "borrowing" from the overall concept, responding to the mountain, the sea, the existing old houses and the swimming pool through the combination of three triangles in the plan and platforms and roofs in the profile, and at the same time creating a simple and open gesture facing the mountain and the sea.

The design of the auditorium continues the overall concept of "clustering" and "borrowing", utilizing the topography of the site, based on four unused houses and infrastructure, perched on the ridge of the island in a clear geometric form.

YE LIU About Me: Growing up as a designer, with continuous observation, understanding, thinking.

Treated buildings as palimpsests, shaped by individual and collective experience simultaneously.

Paid more attention to the balance between historical conservation and urban design.
