ABSCENCE OF THE WALLS
An Exhibition and Intreaction Art Installation Design in A Traditional Courtyard
Exhibition and Installation Design Location: Baitasi, Beijing, China
An academic individual work Design date: August-September, 2019
This is an exhibition design project of 2019 Beijing Design Week.
The project is located in a traditional courtyard house. The content of the exhibition highlights the historical value and current contradiction of the ancient blocks, hoping to solve the contradiction by integrating symbiotic measures and break down barriers to reshape the vitality.
As the curator, I wonder if it is possible to combine the value of the exhibition with the form of the exhibition in a certain way. walls are common material for an exhibition, but meanwhile walls can bring barriers. What if there are no walls? What if we can break down barriers as the exhibition theme trying to convey?
31-
According to the exhibition content and venue requirements, the exhibition is divided into four parts
Traditional exhibition spaces often separate different exhibition spaces by building walls.
Traditional exhibition spaces usually connect different exhibition spaces through doors to form an orderly exhibition path.
In combination with the exhibition content of ancient city symbiosis, I hope that my exhibition space can hint at the connotation of the exhibition in three-dimensional space, so that visitors can better understand the exhibition content, This interesting space is hoped that people are not limited to the same exhibition path. As a result, I replaced the wall and door with a complete fold line.

THE EYEDROP TOOL
An Integrated Border Design Based on Site Historical Gaps and Sea Level Rise Crisis
Installation Device Design
An work project associate with Xuan Luan Design date: April-June, 2020
Color is a visual effect on light produced by the eyes, brain and our life experience.
Human perception of color is not only determined by the physical properties of light, but also contains many factors such as psychology. For example, human perception of color is often affected by surrounding colors. Because of different color vision, different creatures see different worlds of appearance.
So how does the machine see the color and recognize it?
This project was inspired by the common "Eyedrop Tool" in softwares such Photoshop. After many experiments, the Eyedrop Tool in the physical world was born.

YEAH TO Z
An Interaction Space & Stage Design For 3rd Anniversary of NYLON China Magazine
Interaction Space & Stage Design
Location: Modern Art Museum, Shanghai, China
An work project associated with Haolun Zhang Design date: March-September, 2020
This is an Interaction space and stage design for NYLON 3rd anniversary. The main audience of the anniversary is young people aged 20-30. So I defined the theme of this event as a tribute and carnival to the Millennials and the culture of Generation Z.
Through the form of performance stage + immersive exhibition + interactive games, I hope to create a young, interesting and rich experience for the audience.
The performance stage is composed of exhibition spaces and live performances. For immersive exhibition I created four photograph spaces for NYLON through creative forms. In the interactive game part, I created seven interactive scenes as an escapethemed game using a combination of NPC and mechanical interactive devices.
The event attracted a total of 3000+ public viewing the exhibition and participating in games in ten days.

THE IMPOSSIBLE ENCOUNTER
An Interaction Space & Stage Design Based on Chinese Tea Culture and Renaissance Art
Interaction Space & Stage Design
Location: Today Art Museum, Beijing, China
An work project associated with Haolun Zhang
Design date: September-October, 2020
This is an exhibition based on Chinese tea culture and Renaissance art. The initiator of the exhibition hopes to bring Western Renaissance art to people through this exhibition as well as express its relationship with Chinese tea culture. These two seemingly unrelated are presented through several dramatic interactive spaces such as Into The Painting, The Tea Garden Maze, Doors of The World & Hometown, and Out Of The Painting.
In this exhibition space, the boundary between time and space is dispelled, and Chinese tea culture and Western top painting art meet here across time, space, country and field. The viewer can feel the artistic collision of the top western famous paintings with the Chinese tea culture, and then rethink the relationship between them.

AN IMMERSIVE MUSIC HOTEL DESIGN
Architectural Design
Location: Lake Mývatn, Iceland
An academic individual work
Design date: April-July, 2017
Supervisor: Yun Qian
E-mail: qianyun@bjfu.edu.cn
Iceland, a sparsely populated small Nordic island with a rich regional natural landscape and culture, has always been one of the ideal destinations for travel enthusiasts. Iceland is often depicted as the last pure land on earth, whether by locals or tourists. As a result, the trip to Iceland seems to have some kind of spiritual meaning. This experience has something in common with the appreciation of music.
As a music lover, my first impression of iceland comes from its unique misic.Iceland music as a characteristic culture in Iceland, is also popular with people around the world. In this project, I tried to incorporate Icelandic music culture and local materials into the design of a resort hotel and reinterpret the regional architecture through material, space, vision and hearing.The project is located along the east coast of Lake Mývatn, a shallow lake in northern Iceland, surrounded by unparalleled landforms caused by volcanic eruptions 2300 years ago. In addition to the lake itself, there are craters, magma sources, lava columns, geothermal areas, natural hot springs and other landscapes. Being here is like being in another world...

THE LOOP OF MOTHE CHANDENIERS A HERITAGE PROTECTION AND VISITOR CENTER DESIGN
Architectural and Environmental Design
Location: La Mothe Chandeniers, 86120 Les Trois-Moutiers, France
An academic individual work
Design date: February-May, 2018
Supervisor: Changming Yu
E-mail: yuchangming@bjfu.edu.cn
There is a special fascination in ruins. There is a sublime hint in dissolved architectures. There is something moving in the pulverizing of time. Silence takes over the architecture. In the long sunset that follows abandonment and preludes destruction, nature completes the design of mankind by taking space back according to its own pace. In that moment, something magical happens. In that moment, architecture gives way to ruins. The castle of Mothe Chandeniers is a perfect ruin.
The origins of Mothe Chandeniers have been lost in the pages of a history that we don’t know. However it was renovated during the Romantic age. It is the architectural embodiment of romanticism. At that time, the castle was the Marquis Francois de Rochechouart-Chandeniers’ house. After the marquis’death, the castle was abandoned for 2 centuries. In those years, numerous families owned it until it passed into the hands of Francois Fidèle Hennecart a wealthy textile tradesman who purchased the castle in 1809. His family renovated it again but on the night of 13th March 1932, a violent fire destroyed most of the building.
Currently Mothe Chandeniers is much more romantic than before its renovation. The ruins that fusion with nature seem to be the perfect materialization of the sublime. So the visitor center design is based on the concept to keep it as a whole outdoor exhibit. Under that condition, a loop shape overlying building is designed around the castle by combining the terrain, waterway and visitors' needs. While protecting the castle, this loop provides a diverse experienc form equiet to dynamic, shallow to deep.Meanwhile, inside of castle is retained and people can appreciate the charm of the relics from all angles and distances through a series of landscape intervention measures of different heights.

It is the fusion that build up the beauty of the castle. So I want to consider it as a whole like a natural outdoor exhibit to maintain its present appearance for people to visit.
STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED TO SPACE
Castle garden and viewing platforms
Three corridors to connect the loop and the castle
But this exhibit is not framed in glass, it is a container of time . and people can sense it, inreract with it from a variety of angles and distances.
This idea can be realized in two ways. Use landscape interference to preserve the original appearance in the castle. and build a new loop shape building around the castle.
Combine topography and waterways, new loop shape building is naturally divided into three parts.
Strategies Inside The Castle
Different
Connect the three parts and form a landscape walkway on the top.
Overall View
Landscape walkways
Bridges to connect three areas
Functions of the loop
Use the original building space to create a new form of use.
Indoor landscape streamline with different vertical changes. Connect to the new building by creating three passageways.
functions are given to the building according to tourists' needs. And change architectural form at the same time.

SPACE FORMS & POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES
CONCEPT SECTIONS OF THE LOOP & THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CASTLE
Section of Museum, Resort & Castle
The museum is completely underground. Use the stairs on the roof to form a vertical window, and use a curved wall to scatter natural light and introduce it into the museum.
At the top of the museum is a step lawn facing the castle, offering an outdoor seating area where visitor can enjoy the beauty of the castle at the same time.
Section 1 of Theater, Restaurant & Castle
The semi-underground restaurant use two interior heights to offer open and private dining environments. By using special window, the castle everywhere.
Use Viewing platforms of different heights and original plants to create a castle garden. Protect the castle's texture while maximizing the castle's exposure to people.

E-mail: xutong@bjfu.edu.cn
In the context of the rapid development of China's economy, many historical districts cannot escape the fate of commercialization. Nanluoguxiang is a typical example. The rush to economic and tourism development has inevitably brought conflicts between locals and tourists.
For traditional historical districts like Nanluoguxiang, the streets often carry the role of not only transportation but also public spaces, like squares in the western world. Today, this unique lifestyle is gradually disappearing with the intensification of commercialization. After years of different renovation strategies, a mixed experimental courtyard strategy has appeared in Nanluogux i ang and it is named "Symbiosis Courtyard" project. What is "Symbiosis Courtyard" project? It is the symbiosis of private space and public space, thus forming a symbiosis state in which commerce and residence can coexist, tourists and residents can coexist.
In this design work, we tried to rebuild the traditional way that uses streets as a carrier of public spaces by combining the currently popular "symbiosis courtyard" project. At the same time, we hope this brand new continuous improving road system has the ability to diversify and weaken the conflicts and build a loop for residents and tourists, through the introduction of different functional spaces, hopefully achieve harmonious coexistence someday in the future.

LOCATION AND HISTORY ELEMENTS
Originated in the Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Nanluoguxiang has witnessed the rise and fall of Beijing for centuries. It is the epitome of Beijing's history and culture. But now its glory is fading because of over commercialization.

Current Situation under the Infuencel of Commercialization
Crowd contradiction Illegal construction "Symbiosis Courtyard"
Tourists interfered residents' lives. Roads are no longer exclusive to residents. Which further intensified the conflicts between residents and tourists.
The lack of living spaces led to the widespread phenomenon of illegel construction which is encroaching public spaces and original Hutong texture, aggravating conflicts and reducing living standards.
In 2015, Four alleys in Nanluo were included in an experimental renovation project called "Symbiosis Courtyard". So far, more than 400 houses have been vacated for further renovation.
Commercialization indirectly led to increasing different needs of different people and exacerbated conflicts.
Before commercialization
courtyards on both sides of the streets are more frequently connected. Residents are also more willing to use roads as a carrier of public spaces.
After commercialization
Communication on both sides weakened significantly. There are obvious conflicts between tourists and residents, and the courtyards are mostly closed.
How to restore the function of roads as public spaces while preserving commercial functions?
The original conflicts were concentrated. So I create a new roads public space system based on site characteristics which can gradually introduce tourists into alleys to homogenize and decentralize the conflicts, enrich tourists experience and control the impact of tourists to a tolerable range.
Residents' activity spaces
Design different activity spaces for tourists and residents and equip them with corresponding functions to attract different crowds, guide the flow of different behaviors, reduce mutual interference. and create spaces where tourists and residents can participate together.

range
With the further advancement of Nanluo's renovation policy, the number of vacated courtyards and symbiosis courtyards will increase, providing new potential paths for the roads system, thus forming a growing network of districts where tourists and locals can coexist happily.

LOOP THE LOK MA CHOU LOOP
An Integrated Border Design Based on Site Historical Gaps and Sea Level Rise Crisis
Architectural and Urban Design
Location: Lok Ma Chou Loop, Hongkong and Futian District, Shenzhen, China
An academic individual work
Design date: July-September, 2019
Supervisor: LU Fan
E-mail: littlojimmy@outlook.com
In June 2019, political riots broke out in Hong Kong. Even today, Hong Kong is still in great chaos. As an ordinary citizen, I don’t think I have the right to criticize without understanding the real political background. But as a designer, I feel like I can express my concern for Hong Kong and the hope for its prosperity in my own way. This project was born in this condition.
Shenzhen and Hong Kong were once known as "Xin An County" for centuries are now naturally devided by Shenzhen River. Ever since the Opium War in 1841, The land has changed dramatically. Resulting in significant gaps in culture, nature, economy and resources utilization.
After the Handover, the Pearl River Delta region is becoming more and more integrated and coordinated. A more friendly border is needed. At the same time, the crisis of sea level rise is gradually threatening the land. The environment of the two sides is facing a variety of different challenges.
This project aims at using the concept of loop by integrating cross-river resources and developmental patterns in combination with its historical and cultural factors to stimulate the resilience, integration and development of site from surface to inside. Eventually establish an invisible loop in the hearts of the people on both sides, thereby eliminating the gaps between the mainland and Hong Kong.

Change the distribution of hydrothermal balance and aggravate the occurrence frequency of marine disaster climate.
Increase the social differences and contradictions between the two sides of the river.
Sea level rise 50 cm, the national tidal flat loss area will be 19.3×104 hm².
The economic losses in the Pearl River Delta region will be 2.5 trillion yuan in 2050.
Cultural gap
Environment gap
The different severity of these problems indicates that the gaps will be expanded at different time and spatial scales. so a sustainable concept is needed.
Eco Loop
Sea level rise 40 cm, Natural drainage capacity in Pearl River Delta region will decline by 20% to 25%
Economic gap
The Pearl River Delta region will be flooded with 1153 km of land.

Relocate warehouse and cultivate wetland mound landscape.
Relocate original buildings due to the change of urban land use function. cultivate wetland mound landscape instead.
introverted new residential community, whose central landscape has water storage and purification function.
Remade waterfront pond so that it has the function of water purification.
Domestic wastewater gradually precipitates and forms tortuous waterways.
Considering the influence of sea level rise, surround lmc loop with annular green space.
Waterfront wetland landscape gradually form scale.
The circular landscape purifies the river and flows into the southern nature reserve.
The service life of lowrise residential buildings is reached.
As sea level rise intensifies, gradually reduce wharf freight. Because the economic loss caused by sea level rise is much greater than the economic benefit of one port.
When the function of the wharf is completely lost, establish wharf cultural park.
New culture and commercial buildings replace old buildings and connect them with loops.
Use vacant rooms of the urban village for cultural education.
Carry on organic renewal of culture orientation to urban village.
Fishing village cultural experience area: establish people's perception of historical context.
Combine high-rise office buildings and commercial squares to create a cultural loop.
Cultural and educational center: based on the needs of cultural exchange.
Cultural CBD and creative block: After the close exchange of culture and the exploration of new forms and new values is needed.
Assuming that cultural exchanges have matured at this time, Use physical loop to link cultural buildings on both sides.

Three different first sewage purification remade measures based on building types.
Due to the rise of sea level and the aggravation of river pollution, introduces the river water into the green space then the water flows into the nature reserve after being purified.
The first sewage purification of a new building treated by special facade pipes. which can deliver water to the waterfront wetland for the second purification.
Use mangrove slope to absorb river water pollution, meanwhile the increasing slope can prevent the crisis of sea level rise.
Establish water culture landscape in the center of river after water cycle is fullly developed.
Due to the rising demands for clean water, expand the area of clean water wetland.

OH GOD! OH LOVE!
A CHURCH DESIGN BASED ON RELIGIOUS & CULTURAL PREJUDICE OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
Project type: An academic individual work
Design date: 2019
I believe this is more than a design project, more likely to be an attempt based on sociological and cultural differences. There is a certain conflict between society and the LGBTQ community for sure. Especially when it comes to religion, the conflict reached its peak.
Most Christians today regard LGBTQ issue as a matter of principle, god's hatred of the LGBTQ community can be found in the interpretation of the Bible, suggesting that it is unforgivable and they must go to hell after their death. But is the truth really as interpreted? If all things are equal, why does God hate LGBTQ so much?
I believe if god really exist, everyone has the right to have faith. As a designer, I keep wondering using a way to remove religious prejudice and treat everyone with kindness.
The project starts from the historical analysis of the connection between Christianity and LGBTQ community from ancient Greek to modern times. It is not difficult to find that the original intention of Christianity is to awaken people's goodness. After religion gradually intervened in the regime, people's thought of interests began to misread the doctrine in the name of God. Sexual minorities hid in the shadows since then. After World War II, under the background of sexual liberation movement, the LGBTQ Community gradually came out of the closets to fight for equal rights. A lot of parades held in the name of love.
God or Love? which side would you pick...
I create a two parallel Church spaces by means of an interesting and ironic approach. the church is surrounded by water. above-ground space for Christians and the underground space for the LGBTQ community.
The above-ground church is a god processing factory under the shell of the traditional church. The appearance and plane layout extract the form of the Greek cross church, but the interior of the building takes the form of spiral space to imply the class phenomenon in Christianity. In the center of the building is a huge idol. The light fell from the dome and hit the idol. The story of God's seven days of creation in Genesis is translated into seven floors of different architectural spaces. According to different levels, each floor undertakes different functions of processing idol. People here lack sense of security and do not want to believe and accept behavior that is different from their own. They paralyzed themselves through a mechanized lifestyle and gradually added barriers to themselves. The processed idol also changes over time and gradually loses its original appearance. This series of ironic architectural spaces suggest that the closure of people's thoughts artificially influences the religious nature and the doctrine.

The center of the underground church is a huge prism. light comes though the roof passes through the idol of god then hits the prism. The underground church is immersed in iridescent lights.
Although the society is more and more tolerant to LGBTQ people, there are many Christians who still suppress this group.
