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...

Geographical Condition Analysis Of Iceland

Iceland, the cold wonderland at the end of the world, has the most unique natural environment.

Analysis Of Iceland Music Culture And Design Concept

For Locals For Visitors

Most of the population live in major cities

Most major roads built along the coast.

Site

Tundra, volcanoes and glaciers as main landforms.

With the population of 100k, 80% of which are capable of instrument.

There are many different types of music & musician in Iceland.

Local music festivals have the tradition to use hotels as performance venues. Two third people‘s first impression of Iceland comes from music.

Many people regard Iceland as the last piece of pure land on earth.

Value of Iceland Music

Obviously，music is an important part of Iceland culture, which also makes Iceland have some unique spiritual value.

Concept Summary

As a result, the design of the resort blends Iceland music culture and other local features to form a new shape of local architecture.

Similarity between Music & Architecture

There‘s a certain similarity in people's psychological responses to changes in architectural space and musical melody.

Volume Generation

The architectura spaces is based on the form of loop to organically combine nature, music and human behaviors through different spaces and tourlines.

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

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.

The castle of Mothe Chandeniers is located in in a remote suburb of the Phuatou-Charlande region of France, about 320km southwest of Paris and surrounded mostly by nature.

The origins of Mothe Chandeniers remain unknown

Site History Analysis

In the past dacade, the castle of Mothe Chandeniers has been though rise and fall...

The frst record was the Marquis Francois de Rochechouart-Chandeniers’s house. Many artists phased the beauty of the house, garden and theater.

The castle was renovated during the Romantic age.

A wealthy man of textile business purchased it.

A violent fire Burned most of the building.

The original castle was firstly built by an unknown person.

It became property of the family that gave to it its current name, abandoned for 2 centuries after marquis’ death.

Tradesman’s daughter and niece carried out the renovation and transformed it into the way we know now.

Design System Mapping

Fire didn't destroy the west wing. tradesman’s descendants lived there until 1950.

It passed into the hands of many other owners It became arable land and the nature replace mankind completed the design.

NATURE

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.

Plan And Nodes

Details Design Of The Interactive Central Axis

STEP 1: Watch the Castle Multifunctional seats combined with bicycle locks set at the entrance, visitors can rest here and watch the castle from afar.

STEP 2: Capture the Castle

A series of wooden frames are set before stepping on the bridge of the castle to emphasize the original central axis.

STEP 3: Feel the Castle

A series of multifunctional atmosphere lights are used throughout the castle to foil atmosphere. When they're fully open, they can also be used as a supporting component for exhibitions and posters.

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.

Section 2 of Theater, Restaurant & Castle

Thin concrete half-arch

5 cm steel plate

3 cm wooden board

Details Of Museum Renderings

0.5-1cm roof waterproofing and root protection membrane according to FLL guidelines.

2-6 cm drainage from bulk goods, e.g. Lava (bulk material drainage), or plastics (solidstate drainage).

0.5 cm filter fleece.

8-20 cm extensive layer substrate as vegetation support layer.

Vegetation: Planting from drought-resistant plant species, applied by seeds, sedum sprouts, flat bale stauders or vegetation mats.

1.5 cm wooden board

HISTORICAL AREA SUSTAINABLE RENOVATION DESIGN BASED ON "SYMBOSIS COURTYARD" PROJECT

Urban Design

Location: Nanlouguxiang, Beijing, China

An academic group work

Design date: April-July, 2019

My Work: Field research, site analysis, design concept and strategies, all the modeling and drawings in this portfolio

Supervisor: Tong Xu

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 activity spaces range

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.

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

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.

The border line between Shenzhen and Hong Kong made up by Shenzhen River, is one of the most popular boundary forms. But due to giant gaps and different land policies,the north side gradually forms urban center and the south retains its natural texture.

Two sides as a whole.

History And Spatial Analysis Of Gaps Between Hong Kong And Shenzhen

Railway brings possibility to the Development.

large-scale smuggling incidents happened in the border.

The policy of reform and opening up launched, city begin to develop to a metropolis.

Lok Ma Chau Port was built.

enter a period of high speed in urban construction.

Many problems arose such as the shortage of water and the renew of city village.

Hong Kong being leased to the United Kingdom.

The seperation cause great social differences.

trade port into a business and financial center.

northern part of city and Shenzhen River formed the barrier.

strengthen the construction of Lok Ma Chau isolation zone.

Changes gradually happened

Reform and opening up brought urban vitality to Shenzhen.

Cross-river exchanges

Land policy reformed in Lok Ma Chau area.

Completely different spatial patterns has formed.

Gap between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong brings social problems especially in north.

Four categories of gaps has formed in history.

Analysis Of Threats Caused By Sea Level Rise

Sea level rise has received attention nowadays, and bringing different threats to this area. Threats can be classified into the above four categories.

Formation Of The Sustainable Loop Concept

Rank the severity of the nine sea level rise effects mentioned above through Data and five influencing factors: Persistence, spacial scale, starting time, population effected and frequency.

Light

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.

Resource gap

Severe

The chlorine level, which affects water quality increased from 0.03g/kg to 3g/kg in 20082014.

Master Plan And Toolkit Mark

Inspiration & purpose

The Loop Concept

Composition

1. The idea orignate from the site name.

2. Loop means harmony and homogenize.

A recycle system combine land and buildings.

Gaps and threats can gradually deminish by using three loops.

Sustainability

Phase1. incompete but related to each other.

Wetland resource combine site development.

Phase 2. grow gradually over time to eliminate crisis.

3. Hope to realize the harmony eventually.

Awaken emotional resonance.

Make people interact.

Phase 3. connect physical & psychological loops.

Master plan shows the harmony and connection that the site will eventually expect to achieve. Until then, the site will gradually change through a series of renovation strategies of three loops that take place in different time and spatial scale.

Improve the green spaces in urban village.

Urban And Landscape Sustainable Design Toolkit Of The Loop System

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.

The first sewage purification is carried out in the basement of the new buildings.

urban village

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.
