WONDER+LAND

- A PLAYGROUND FOR EVERYONE

Coventry University - 3rd Year Final Project

Location Pool meadow bus and coach station

Coventry, UK

Year 3rd year, spring 2022

Program Transportation hub + Social space

The project ‘Wonder+LAND’ is a playground for any age group to enjoy playing, having fun, and find fulfilment through my building.

The building itself is the main indoor playground, as well as part of the outdoor playground. People could rest, enjoy, and interact with the landscape inside the playground. I believe that the true form of “play” does not have a clear definition as I believe it is what an individual enjoys and creates happiness from. There are no limits to define what that enjoyment is for an individual to play inside the building.

As the birth rate in Coventry are also inceraseing in every year, the amount of young age people would be the largest age of group in coming 10 years.

The project is located in Coventry city centre. From my observation, the city lacks of recreational area, I would like to create a new entertainment area for all age of groups to enjoy and have fun in the same area. As there are limited factilities in Coventry, it is ideal to intergrate people to share and have fun together.

Playing can also be seen in a diverse way. When a person actually enjoys things which is fun to them, that is ‘playing time’. People can play by learning and socialising. There are book crossing areas and workshops inside the building as well.

The city is lack of recreational area for people, so I create a playground which is suitable for all age of people to enjoy and have fun in the same area. As there are limited factilities in Coventry, it is better to intergrate all age of people to share and have fun together

It also prevents the loneliness problem for the elderlies. This is also an important problem when the city is facing aging problem after 40 years later.

By statistical analysis from the city council, after 40 years later, the youngest group of poeple will become the oldest age of group in the city which means the city is facing an aging problem.

‘FLEXI UNION’ HOUSING PROJECT

Coventry University - 2nd Year Sem 2 Project

Location Trastevere Roma, Italy

Year 2rd year, spring 2021

Program Residential housing

The housing project ‘Flexi Union’ aims to create a new type of housing for unemployed people, new immgrants and temporary workers for them to have a cheaper living place which also contains a labor union to support their living in Rome. Meanwhile, people who live in the accomodation can also create social networks which help them integrate into society.

CHEAP RENT + SOCIAL NETWORK + LABOR UNION(Workplace)

Secondary Usage Labor Union & training

In Trastevere, most of the area is used for commercial and business purpose. There are not many residential buildings for long term living. So the project aims to provide housing which is for workers to live and work at this area.

The building is loacted at Trastevere in Rome. It was an existing commerial building. The building is available for small companies to rent as offices and a work-spaces.

Trastevere

The existing building is divided into three blocks and each blocks is connected to each other. The reason why this building was chosen because the location of the building have good environmental features for people to work and live.

However, the design of the building utilise its features to its features to its full potential, especially these netural features. So, I consider to demolishing the building into a new type of housing which combines a labor union workplace and accomondation.

As the use of space of the orginal building is not flexible enough to use for living and to put furniture, I decide to change the form of the building. Also, I will resize the scale for all the rooms which makes it more functional and suitable for residents to live.

‘RE ∙ GENERATION’ CULTURAL VILLAGE

Coventry University - 2nd Year Sem 1 Project

Location the area of Via Portuense and Arsenale Pontificio, Trastevere Roma, Italy

Year 2rd year, spring 2022

Program Cultural village

This project is mainly doing a re-vitaisation at the area of Via Portuense and Arsenale Pontificio in Rome.

The space creates a connection between the historic city of Arsenale part and the newer part of the site. The village mainly keeps the historical landmarks and is based on the old city pattern to reform. It provides different areas for people to exprience the atmosphere while staying in Rome.

The area ot the village is along the River Tiber, the cultural village is a space for both Roman residents, visitors and a group of artists exchanging their ideas. Through understanding the culture of Rome with the village.

Based on this center, the village is devided into different zones. All of the zones inside the site could connect the center. So, the center would be a final space for grouping all the people and all the things togther. It acts as a starting point but also act as an ending point for the site.

Using CULTURE to connect PEOPLE

GATHERING IN VARIABILITY

PolyU Hong Kong Community College

- Final Year Project

Location Central Ferry Pier

Hong Kong, China

Year 2nd year, spring 2020

Program Social space

‘Gathering in variability’ is a redeveloped social space which is created to connect the area between Hong Kong Station and the Central Ferry Pier.

The aim of the social platform is to create an interaction and to strengthen the relationship between people. As Hong Kong Station act as an important spot for the wide transport network in Hong Kong, it is necessary to improve the transport network. Also, it aims to provide a place for people to have activities around Central Ferry pier and promote a vision of future to Hong Kong People and tourists.

The project is to build a social platform as a buffer zone to connect the high density space in Central to the low density space in ferry pier.

There was a huge empty space at the outward of IFC. This space was a semi-private area that have not been developed which did not allow people to get inside.

HAND SKETCHING

These are the sketches to present my design ideas, to analyse for the case studies and some are quick sketches to record the scene of the stie.

MODEL MAKING

Making physical models helps me to show the design process, the ideas, the structure of my building. The testing models could help me to decide which forms, facade and lighting to use at the end of the project.
