STUDIO: Underground City Exploration
INTRODUCTION:
The project site is located in the Abobrosi region of the Republic of Ghana, where people live with garbage and depend on recycling electronic equipment for their livelihood each year. Local workers dispose of their waste by burning it in order to reduce costs, leaving local residents with blood levels of heavy metals 17 times higher than international standards.
According to calculations, the environment of Abobrosi will continue to deteriorate in the future and the surface will no longer be suitable for living. The project will use soil purification devices to purify the heavy metal soil and use the purified soil to build buildings and preserve the electronic recycling industry for local residents, creating a new living space for local residents.

INTRODUCTION:
This is the architectural design of a whale Memorial Museum. The museum is located in whale Valley, a whale cemetery. Whale Valley is located in fayom Province, Egypt, in the depths of the desert about 150 kilometers southwest of Cairo. Due to geological changes, the whale Valley, which was an ocean 53 million years ago, has now become a desert, leaving the skeleton of many Dragon King whales.
Therefore, I searched for information on the Internet and designed a whale Memorial Museum according to the history and natural conditions of the site.
According to the 3D model data of whale skeleton and the principle of bionics, have constructed the main skeleton of the building by imitating the whale skeleton and outline. hope people can have more experience of whales while visiting the museum.

REGIONALISM
he site is located in the middle of the desert, a two-hour drive from the nearest city. Visitors are used to driving or hiking to complete their touring programme. The buildings and heritage are preserved in the hollows, the overall terrain is flat and there are many weathered stones. The path created by people's feet passes through the north side of the building, and similarly there is an entrance to the south side, articulated by a platform.
SURROUNDINGS AND HISTORY
The perimeter of the site is dotted with deserts and oases, dilapidated cities and streets, houses made of clay. It is as if all the material is related to the sand and the unique climate of the area. The houses here have narrow windows, oases are scarce and the streets are flled with sand. In history, this was originally a
Over tens of millions of years of evolution, this barren desert has taken on rich historica ental and ecological problems. All this points to an urgent need: how to present the past and indicate the future of the devel ure. Environmental protection, architectural form and building function are all important considerations.
WHALE SKELETON
The points of force selected here are those of whale movement, focusing on the curvature of the vertebrae and the change in shape of the bone profile during the gradual change here.
STRUCTURE
A strong structural skeleton of the building has been designed in the transverse profile. The asymptote of the skeleton is modelled in the longitudinal profile as a curve parameter during the movement of the whale.

INTRODUCTION:
In Tibetan areas, scriptures are regarded as treasures if they printed by Derge, all temples are proud to hold Dege's books. It can be said that it is the oldest, most sacred and mysterious library in the world, and become a realistic carrier of Tibetan history.
In architectural restoration design, we explore how light guides people's sentiment changes in religious architecture. The parkhang is currently in disrepair and the interior light is dim. However, when we started to analyze its internal functions, we found its internal space was extremely narrative.We use different lights to reproduce its guidance of people's sentiments,even the purification of the soul, and explore the perfect combination of sunlight and space in religious architecture.
In this architectural restoration design, we will explore how light guides people's sentiment changes in religious architecture. Our location is in the Derge Parkhang in the Tibetan settlement. The house is currently in disrepair and the interior light is dim. However, when we started to analyze its internal functions, we were surprised to find that its internal space was extremely narrative.

LOCATION PREFACE
DEGE Dege County, subordinate to Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, is located in the northwest of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, between 98 12 98 41 and 31 24 32 43 n. GANZI Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is subordinate to Sichuan Province. It is located in the west of Sichuan Province and the southeast of kangzang plateau, with area of 153000 square kilometers. SEDA Seda county belongs to Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. It is located in the northeast of Ganzi Prefecture, 31 38 33 20 N and 98 48 101 00 E. CHANGDU Changdu, located in the east of Tibet, is located in the mountains and the Sanjiang River Basin. The raw material for papermaking is very unique. is a kind of root whiskerof Stellera contains slight toxicity. The dege paper is slightly yellow in color, thick and thick, has good ink absorption performance and light weight, can prevent moths and rats, and has unique value.

PAPER CRAFT
1. This is the space at the entrance of dege Scripture courtyard. Since then, visitors have entered the Academy. And through the light guide space we have transformed, will transition from outdoor to outdoor. 2. This is the Sutra drying space on the second floor of the scripture yard. Monks pull up ropes in this semi open space and put the printed scriptures here to dry. 3. The whole printing process is completed by three people: one carries the engraving, one brushes ink and one prints. The transformed space increases the original single daylighting mode, so that the staff far away from the skylight can also work in enough sunlight. ENTRANCE PRINTROOM RENDERINGS 4. Under the strong unilateral light, many monks can't read the Scriptures well. So many prayer flags made of Tibetan special paper are set up to block the sun for them. 5. After using the scripture stereotype, monks walk freely in the scripture edition library and systematically classify the scripture edition into the library.

2099: LIVE WITH BRONZE SACRED TREE
Inspired by the bronze sacred tree cast by ancient tribes in the 18th century BC. It is said that it is the residence of the sun, divine birds and gods. Living in a tree can realize any wish of people. imagine that after 2099, human beings will coexist with mutated plants. People will live in plants. Huge trees can meet the basic life and social needs of human beings, just like the legendary life on the bronze God tree. In the variation of plants, people use the naturally formed space to plan different functional areas, and use the variation of vines to build the connection space between trees to open a new way of life.
TRANSFORMATION OF TRUNK MODEL
Extract the basic shape from the totem for different rotation, combination and connection. The trunk consists of two parts, which have undergone more than three physical changes. In Maya animation mode, set different shapes of basic objects in different frames for animation snapshot visualization. In this way, more complex model monomers are obtained and screened. The above model is modified again by bending, soft modification and other nonlinear modifications. The combination after mirror and linear variation completes the final trunk model. The basic form of branch part 1 is visualized through secondary animation snapshot to form a channel between two trunks.

Cut the structure to expose the internal structure of the model and people's activities in the plant. The internal structure is inspired by the layered growth of plant roots and the skin texture of marine animals. The growth of mutant plants is simulated by constructing repeated but regularly changing texture.
This is a hand-painted model sketch. This section describes the structure between trees in detail. People's behavior in the connecting part and the local space of the tree. The staggered structure of trees provides people with rich living space and different views.
