Museum for Folk Arts 11/2007-01/2008 [Tutor: Professor Dong Chunfang Score: 88-2] [In this design I mentioned the concept “Rhythm Facades and Interspaces” in order to combine new parts of the museum and the conservative parts of the original houses in the historical blocks. I used modern structures to express this concept.]
Hillside Club Design 03/2008-05/2008 [Tutor: Zhang Li Score: 90] [I chose my site in view of the sights, sunlight and natural ventilation. To the building, I began with the research of the sections and the whole made the building as the extension of the hill.] Commercial Complex Design 05/2008-07/2008 [Tutor: Huang Ping Score: 83] High rise Hotel Design 09/2008-11/2008 [Tutor: Chen Hong Score: 86] [The site was among the buildings with the heights lower than 50m while our goal was to design a hotel as tall as 100m, which made the building as the landmark of this block and the visitors in the hotel would see far from the tower. So I used the concept of “Windows of The City”, which both meant that the hotel established the blocks, and visitors would enjoy the wonderful sights of the city.] Residential Planning 11/2008-01/2009 [Tutor: Professor Li Zhenyu Score: 85] Shopping Street in Campus 03/2009-05/2009 [Tutor: Professor Wang Bowei & Professor Liu Min Score: 90] [It was a shopping street design mainly for students on campus in Fujian province, south China.

We reconstructed the characters that would establish the feature of this area with the modern structure and managed to create the traditional environment in this street. ]
Museum for Hongyi Rabbi Design 05/2009-07/2009 [Tutor: Professor Dong Chunfnag & Professor Mu Xiaohu] [Score:85] INTEGRATIONAL DESIGN OF URBAN COMMERCE CENTER 03/2010-06/2010 [Tutor: Zhangli Score:A] The final design was about urban design, and the site was in Nantong, Jiangsu province, China. We were asked to design the commercial center in Nantong technical economic area. In this design, we took "unity" as our principle, and merged the site into the context of the city instead of making the site as a lonely island. We used "integration" as our concept and created several methods in order to connect the site with the surrounding on different layers. At the same time, we made detailed guidelines for this urban design. In the final review of this studio, our project was praised as "with high operability and practicality", and graded A. HORIZONTAL EXTENSION VS VERTICAL DESIGN 09/2010-12/2010 [Tutor: Paul Hardin Kapp Score: B+] The site of this studio project was in Ithaca, New York. The original building was a factory which produced guns, and it is going to be transformed into an art school. The key point of this project is a combination of preservation and reconstruction. I chose "horizontal extension and vertical design" as my concept. "Horizontal extension" concerns with a natural environment both around and in the building, and "vertical design" concerns with the use of vertical spaces to create public spaces and link different floors of the building.
