This project is a Sports Complex with a Basketball Stadium in North St. Louis as a way of studying the ablation of large scape architecture. With the continuous change of human's understanding of art and the pursuit of architecture, the development of architectural forms has become more and more diversified, and the building with ablation is an important trend. This trend has reasons for criticizing the aesthetic changes of vision-centric theory, the importance of humanistic expressions, the reasons for calling for the coordinated development and harmony. coexistence of architecture and the site environment.

SITE INFORMATION

The site of the entire building is in the north of St. Louis. North St. Louis has high rates of obesity and fewer medical resources than other areas.

The design combines local issues and aims to design a stadium that is open to the public. The gymnasium contains various functions, including football, basketball, fitness, and some commercial parts. The roof of the building itself serves as a sports park, attracting more people to exercise here. And the basketball arena is a city-level stadium, not individual, but all high schools and universities can be rented by time. Holding the league can increase the flow of people to the whole stadium and attract more people to play sports here and have a healthier body.

It can be seen that the vast building volume has been hidden under the landscape. The building is not elevated above the surrounding buildings so that the enormous building volume is not obtrusive.

MASTER PLAN

Because of people's dissatisfaction with the strong posture of architecture. As a result, I attempted to seek a dialogue between architecture and architecture, nature, and the city. They tried to let the architecture melts into the site, natural, and urban environment with a humble and friendly appearance, and prevent the expansion of the visibility of modern architecture.

As can be seen from the figure, the whole building is effectively hidden under the landscape. And the roof space is effectively used to design the pedestrian path. Throughout the area, there are various sports venues and facilities that could become a future sports gathering place for St. Louis.

Huludao, Liaoning, China 2019 Jonathan Stitelman

The design of the sanctuary is all about finding the most comfortable, protected, and memorable scenes. Let some residents, even those without legal status, be granted temporary asylum.

One of my most comfortable memories is of my grandmother's backyard, so many years ago. Although things have changed now, that familiar feeling still comes up frequently. Design a shelter for refugees based in grandma's backyard. I hope they can feel the same comfort, I think.It will serve as a temporary stop for the refugees.

The dream begins.......

GRANDMOTHER'S COURTYARD Description: .This is a long and narrow space, next to my grandmother’s house, is the secret spcae of me and my brother. We have explored together and overcome the fear together. At that carefree age, there are many precious memories of us.

Nature of Absence: When I was fifteen, this residential area was converted into a gas station. I even didn’t have time to go back to see my secret base. As I grow up, I become more mature. I always feel comfortable with this kind of enveloping space, and keep the initial curiosity about the unknown. And still believe when you overcome difficulties you will have good endings.

DREAM ISLAND SITE

This is a scene from memory. Next to my grandmother's house is a boiler room with a tall chimney and a small coal mountain. There are tall trees and a protective wall of red bricks. We often play inside and outside the wall.

Climbing this wall is another novel, unknown and interesting world.

To ensure the continuity of the previous narrow and long space, a relatively closed trapezoidal plot was selected.

Choose the same height as the surrounding environment to form a huge and hidden volume.

From the low-level to the multi-level, it presents a diminishing gap, extending the meaning of standing high.

The material is similar to that of the surroundings, which acts as a camouflage.

And the use of glass bricks increases the drama of the building.

CAMOUFLAGE STRATEGY

UNFOLD FACADES

The mixed arrangement of red bricks and glass bricks successfully hides the refuge in residential buildings.

This mysterious building has gone up. The mixture of red brick and glass brick adds a weird color to the building. The camouflage-like strategy is to locate the building between several residential blocks. I sat on that wall of memory, thinking back to my childhood. The backyard that made me brave and strong, the backyard that recorded so many happy memories. If I had known at that time that I could use this site to design a building, Maybe I would have been more pleased.I will be more hopeful about the future.

Refugees, you deserve a happy life. I can't change anything, but I hope I can give you some temporary happiness. Now, it's time for the dream to wake up......

STRATEGY

REALISTIC

Because of the protection of the exhibits in the museum, there must be no direct sunlight.

The facade is divided into several sections, and then the natural light is reflected in the gap through the arc-shaped staggered way to provide indoor lighting softly. Considering the different functional zones, I pushed forward some sections to create a space to interact with Central Park.

While enjoying the artwork, you can also have a short break and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Central Park.

The exhibition space in the museum is divided into the sculpture area and the painting area. The sculpture sections tend to approach Communal space because this is relatively unafraid of high light. However, there will be no intense light in the painting area. And because of the free plane, the boards can be rearranged for different exhibitions.

Two spaces with different functions coexist in harmony. The leaf-shaped ceiling extends from th Park to always feel the main concepts of the desig

he inner bucket to the communication space. Allow visitors who enter the museum from Central gn, drawing like roots and spreading like the vine.

Columbus has been called one of the best cities in the world for architecture lovers. We think it’s a great place for you to fall in love with architecture for the first time, too. Columbus's buildings embody "the optimism that Americans express in their buildings."These retro-Victorian landmarks have indeed set up a platform for the "architectural mecca" of Columbus, a scenic town in the Midwestern state of Indiana.

Since 1954, the Cummins Foundation, founded by Miller, has employed i.M. Pei, Robert Venturi, Illyr Saarinen and his son, Arrow Saarinen, to design more than 70 buildings.As a result, the town became a testing ground for modernist architectural aesthetics, catapulting it to no. 6 on the list of American cities built.

The design includes a duplex house and a sculpture museum design. Its role is to connect the famous architectural blocks according to the urban environment.

AXON ANALYSIS

The house uses a cantilever structure to form a natural open-air open space. The glass box encloses one of the faces to form a public space for residents to use. There are large and small display spaces on the five thick columns. After someone stands in the exhibition space, let passers-by think that people may also be a work of art.

The first floor serves the family, and the second and third floors are rented to students and workers.

An adequate skylight adds an atmosphere of peace to afternoon tea. Playing pianos to guitars' sound, tenants sit on high stools between massive pillars, watching the traffic flow. The observer and the observed will produce similar feelings.
