SHENZHEN NEW CULTURAL CENTER CONCEPTUAL SCHEME FOR sec COMPETITION PROJECT

My efforts in this project are reflected in the individual production of digital site models, analytical diagrams, and expressive drawings. Collectively, these outcomes set the basic tone for the design narrative of the Shenzhen New Cultural Center scheme. As shown by this set of drawings, such a narrative employs a comprehensive yet unique viewpoint to construct an oriental scenario by shaping three box massings that mimics flower petals of Bougainvillea-the city flower of Shenzhen, emphasizing the site's particular cultural background, enabling optimized visibility, and proposing a meaningful space in the central core.

Each “petal is programmed specifically but layouted diversely, while the “pistil” funtions as the main public space for central circulation.

Green Space Diagram

The public green spaces surround the “petals“ form landscaped paths that snake along the base and perimeter of the building.

Circulation Diagram

Clear circulations from outside to inside of the building, combined with efficient spatial oragnization, create optimal spatial experience.

Program Layout Diagram

Composed of the ground, the foundation part, the landscape part, and the aboveground building part, the whole project sequencially organizes different function layers and formal languages to simulate the botanical structure of a Bougainvillea flower: Receptacle → Calyx → Pistil → Petals

Form Generation Diagram

In terms of major form manipulation strategy, the design first lifts and transforms the topography of the foundation, and then places three separate boxed volumes on the site in close relationships to form a central public space. The sloped surfaces around the main building are then detailed with plantings, footpaths, and stairs.

The masterplan shows how the building is situated within site context, including the water channel at the north, traffic roads defining the other three sides of the site, and a subway station at the southwest corner. These contextual elements force the project to encompass a series of new public spaces around the central core, allowing visitors and workers to engage in the purposeful environment.

As the most importantproject participated induring MADAspam internship, the Peach Grove Residencesaimto explore an expansivevision ofdesign inruralarchitectureand landscape. individuallyconducted site analysis, produced axonometric drawings, and rendered perspectives by leveraging digital tools anddrawingtechniques. The outcomes primarilyshapedthe ideationandcontentcreation ofthe project.

Box Yard HouseAxon

In terms of formal language, the Box Yard shares the idea of cantilevered rectangular box with Gate Hall #2. It has fully-glazed facades on both levels and both sides to miximize the view to the mountain and yards, and is unique fora poolandgap yard.

L HouseAxons

As another single-family house with an emphasis on the frontyard andbackyard, the L House is made distinctive by its crossed relationship of public and private spaces, as well as the bedroom roof, which has the form of an irregular trapezoidal prism.

The Gate Hall #2 is a multi-family residence highlighting the idea of cantilevered living space and interconnected courtyards. Similar to the Gate Hall #1, this building uses white plasterwallsoftraditional Chinese styleand roundedaperturesasthe main facade language.
