+44 7720824161 Tianyi Wen (Linkedin) tianyiwen.sampleworks (ig) 51 whitworth street west, Manchester m1 5ea I like to explore the genuine meaning of architecture and its relationship with the built environment under different contexts and urban paradoxes. I theoretically agree that architecture is a human-oriented subject and is missioned to serve the associated society as much as possible throughout its whole life cycle socially, environmentally

and economically by discussing the meaning of be sustainable.

I am a person who takes professionalism and works rigorous. The coupling of efficiency and quality is what I have been pursuing during practice.

Apart

from design, i have strong interests in research.

I

am able to bring my research ability into the architecture practice when there is a requirement.

01 Inclusive Pecuniary Spatial Ideology 09. 2020 - 05. 2021, Manchester School of Architecture Thesis project (individual) Baishizhou urban village, Shenzhen, China

Inclusive Pecuniary Spatial Ideology is an agglomeration of two paradoxical urban ideologies in the current capital-oriented world. Its construction is completed by studying the existing gentrification strategies of six iconic urban forms(in south china) and then repeated deliberation. The master plan was designed to mingle the inclusiveness of urban village and the social order of a modern city under its extremely crowded exterior. The group of people to be inclusive in this project is the undocumented migrant.

Skills: Unity, Rhino, Grasshopper, ArcGis, Fuse, Maximo, Premiere, Photoshop, CAD, Visual Studio, Illustrator

02 World Building Low Floor Area Ratio urban space like the urban village in the central city represents either a deliberately carved cultural protection or inevitable gentrification in developing frontier city. The inclusive pecuniary urbanism requires compromisation and consensus from both upper and lower classes to assure the economic prosperity of the collective party. The tentation of the agglomeration has an iterative revision process before delving into the design of key fields. The spatial layout has an incongruous feature, with detail research and studies of different urban building typologies, such standard office building, residential high-rise and urban village houses.

Coordination and Compromisation for the Collective Home The meaning behind the coexistence of inclusiveness and order is cooperation and compromise between classes. To meet the new social management, the tenants in the remained urban village need to sacrifice their daylight time while the new residents have lost absolute privacy while gaining the convenience and intimacy brought by the urban village. The efficient transportation system requires the close cooperation of the two classes as well. Unlike other ordinary urban territories, the inclusive transportation aims to deliver different classes of people to the place they require to go. Apart from this, the property right of urban villages is also a crucial element to organise.

Commentarial Immersion & Ludological Open-world To optimise the representation of this exotic complex, the thesis project takes the study of game development (ludology) as a sub-research topic to assist the communication and visualisation of the thesis argument. It is based on the study of Forensic Architecture, artists and video game design, aiming to give audience more autonomy in the exploration of the design. The representation is consist of two parts. The first one is an video demonstrating the design spaces while providing audience with a first person experience. The second ones are three downloadable open worlds of three different ‘field of play’.

Audiences can further discover the world by their own.

The Delimma of Post-humanist Environment: Re-distribution of Data Centre (Extended research) 07. 2020 - 09. 2020, Canopy Institute of Design, pre-thesis project (individual), Shenzhen, China This extended research studied the geographical distribution of land value and the corresponding commuting cost of the specific group: Shenzhen migrants. It provided a detailed site analysis for the Inclusive Pecuniary Spatial Ideology. Apart from this, it came out with a solution of decentralised data storage distribution in each social housing so as to reduce the inevitable physical daily commute of the elite migrant group, reducing the burden of transportation in the central city.

02 Continuity in Attachment 02. 2020 - 06. 2020 Manchester School of Architecture, Academic design project (group of two), Northern Gateway, Manchester

The project includes the design of a community hub to help to manage the grief of the existing community through place attachment. The design had a structural challenge to reuse the abandoned arches on site, with a strict alignment on UK building regulation(fire safety, accessibility, services, etc) and low-carbon envelop design.

03 Co-binning Economy 09. 2019 - 12. 2019 Manchester School of Architecture Academic design project (individual) Collyhurt, Manchester

Co-binning Economy addressed the bin crisis of the existing community in the Collyhurst through bin centralisation. It explored how to use co-living to develop a sense of community by promoting collective responsibility for public services and the environment. It included the design of community master plan, two detailed building typologies and a community plastic workshop.

05 Binning Centralisation The master plan development was driven by the insert of a new plaster workshop and the centralisation of binning spots, associated with a jogging strip and allotments. The activity of binning is converted from crisis to a daily routine that bring the community together among ages. The community-lead binning economy provide the existing residents with extra social value to the site.

04 Home for the Homeless 01. 2018 - 05. 2018, Queen’s University Belfast, Year three design project, Social Housing, University Road, Belfast

The final project of my undergraduate was the design of a social housing in Belfast. Physical model making was one of the most significant method I used to test the structure, form and cladding typology. The design tempted to be spatial efficient but ensure the sense of safety, welcoming and daylight access for temporary occupiers.
