A PIANO PIECE ON THE SEA

Cruise Ship Space Design Based on Piano Music Project Tutor: Liu Tiejun Date: 10.2019-12.2019 Individual Work

Piano piece translation cruise ship this work is based on Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor. The rhythm, mood, and order of the piano music itself seeks the correlation of various elements and spaces and gives the musical elements a spatial form. This design hopes that the cruise space will be endowed with the rhythm of piano music and full of emotions, showing the continuity of music and the circulation of breath.

CARNIVAL VISTA C A R N I VA L V I S TA c r u i s e s h i p o f t h e European Caribbean route. The cruise ship has 5 floors. The main function area includes various bars, restaurants, concert halls, cinemas, swimming pools, spas, and other entertainment areas. The cruise ship is a luxury cruise. The service team is famous.

This work hopes to translate the abstract piano music (Nocturne in c-sharp Minor Op.posth) into space and express the change of emotions in the space with architectural language.

The picture shows a partial plan of the c r u i s e s h i p ' s t h i r d f l o o r, s h o w i n g t h e complete layout and flow of a piano bar on the cruise ship. It is also the address chosen for this work.

Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor can be divided into three sections according to rhythm and mood. The first section is composed of a melody that appears multiple times in the movement. The left hand is composed of a large-span decomposed chord. The vibrato is added, which gives people the feeling of tactful, pensive, and pathological The theme of the second paragraph is varied, and the speed gradually increases, giving people a feeling of excitement and clarity; the third paragraph once again has a large-span scale, giving people a feeling of wandering and confusion.

That is to say, the first part of contemplative and morbid emotions are translated into space, and space is characterized by continuous and repetitive, and there is a process of constant change to openness in the space; the second part of the emotions becomes clear, and space is characterized by openness and strong interaction; The third part of the emotions is back to the main tone, and the wandering emotions can be spatially embodied as a closed loop of occlusion and flow of the line of sight.

The linear space is divided into three from the entrance, which corresponds to each piano music section one by one. In addition to the original piano bar, it has a private and open deck and a secondstory leisure area.

Big Cheese Botanical garden

botanical program design based on column+ Project Tutor: Max Kuo Date: 2022 Spring (UCLA school workW) Individual Work

The whole project revolves around the column. In columns plus, I used minimal surfaces, which create rooms, inside and outside. I combine them with the columns, try to make these columns different from each others.Some plants are placed inside the column, so they turn to have a shape, some are placed in other places inside the building, they are more free. I think the contrast would be interesting.

"WALL" Of Communication Boundary Space Design Of Campus In Urban Cities Project Tutor: Huang Yan Date: 10.2019-12.2019 Group Work: Yin Qing, Cao Lin, Shi Fangzhou Role in Team: Design (50%) Drawings(100%)

The original wall of the campus's original boundary completely isolates the inside and outside of the campus. In this work, I hope to use design methods to transform the campus boundary. Our solicitous vision in this project is to design a new model making the boundary space both inclusive and connective. Therefore, we create a new form of campus boundary space for future urban cities. By means of disassembling, selectively filtering, and rebuilding the original form of space, we break out distinctive units and form a continuous interlaced texture where the insular campus and external urban space could intercommunicate with each other. In order to do this, we would like to reach the aim in creating a multi-modal, inclusive, and shared boundary space that fits the path of environmentally sustainable development.

Site Analysis The project is located at the junction of the campus boundary of Tsinghua University in Beijing and Chengfu Road. We create a flexibile and breathable boundary of the whole campus by imbedding the scenes re-designed into specific places according to the aftercleaned site and replace the formal closed boundary edges. After Cleaning and Rebuilding, these re-assembled function and scenes are adjusted based on the feature of formal site, mak i ng t h e ne w c o n s tru c ti o n adapting to the site.

Activity Type and Privacy Analysis

Industrial Park

Degree of privacy

During the cleaning process, the crowds and corresponding activities in each area are screened, classified, and sorted, and analyzed according to the degree of privacy.

In the industrial park and the science and technology building, the venues are mainly concentrated on both sides of the road, with the main function of communicating with adjacent office buildings and built-in functions including o ff i c e , t e m p o r a r y d i n i n g , a n d exhibitions.

Cube

Taking a single cube module as a unit, the elements are recombined into different spatial forms to form diverse behavior patterns.

In the community part, the installation basically presents a continuous form. The functional installations for children's entertainment are combined with plants, and they have high flexibility.

Master Plan

The industrial park focuses on exchanging innovative technologies inside and outside the school to realize the value of communication b e t w e e n s t u d e n t s a n d s o c i e t y, including exhibitions, catwalks, and other activities closely connected to the campus.

The faculty and staff's family area pays attention to privacy, with plants and relatively spacious venues as the main activities, mainly for rest and simple community activities.

The residential community partly carries a variety of commercial activities and urban activities. Children's activities are introduced to increase the fun while adding many single-person spaces.

Playful Landscape Fun to move around Project Tutor: Yara Feghali Date: 2023 Fall(UCLA school work) Group Work Group Member: Qing Yin & Qinyi Wu For this landscape design plan, we express some natural images in hybrids, gravel, shallowflood, vegetation, tillage, and brine in graphic language, and then use our translation language to organize them into the site. Our main principle is to describe movement with density lines and points and vector lines. the 1 one is our site diagram, The second picture on the right is the circulation diagram of the site. I use the shades of color to describe the paths of different levels. The darkest blue is the main road, and the lightest color is the garden pathway, and this hatch represent the underground way which can’t seen in the plan; this diagram is the garden, the blue is the open garden, and the green is the covered garden. The last one shows the contour line of our new ground and building location. Our project is more like a Playful landscapeFun to move around, which have smooth redesigned ground, undulating and overlapping pathway, shaded interior gardens, native plants without too much water.

Site Diagram

site plan generated from the diagram. We have one main pathway starts here and ends here, the secondary pathways split from the main pathway, this part passes through the outdoor garden from above, and this part reaches into the mountain to form a tunnel to see the hidden garden, as you can see in this zoom in section, half the garden inside the mountain. Those ramps starting from different sections are our tertiary pathway. People could get down freely and explore our playful site. And we also have these spiral stairs that could touch ground quickly. Besides,There are some linear short walls and step benches to add interest to our site. For gardens, we main choose native plants like succulents which do not use lot of water.the 1950s and 1960s, are referred to as dingbats. They are invariably low-rise wood-frame and s t u c c o c o n s t r u c t i o n , t h o u g h t h e r e ’s some variability in scale, from the classic single-lot six-unit dingbat to larger buildings constructed on several assembled single-family lots.

Affordable housing design

Long-term rental apartment design based on DINGBAT type research Project Tutor: Garrett Ricciardi Date: 2022 spring (UCLA school work) Individual Work What I focus on the identity of dingbat is the overhanging for parking. I staggered the upper and lower units. So there is an overhanging for parking, and the roof of the first floor becomes the public space. And another concept is that" no one can see the cars", because I changed the orientation of each unit and arranged them side by side in a circular way. There are 4 small clusters on the first floor. so people can walk between clusters and go upstairs.

First Floor Plan

Dingbats are boxy, two or three-story apartment houses with overhangings sheltering street-front parking. The diagram shows how I reorganized the space while retaining the "dingbat" character. I staggered the upper and lower units. So there is an overhanging for parking, and the roof of the first floor becomes the public space.

THE MATERIAL RESEARCH CENTER santa monica warehouse renovation Project Tutor: Georgina Huljich Date: 2023 Fall(UCLA school work) Group Work Group Member: Qing Yin & Mingxi Cao The material research center focuses on the exploration and implementation of lightweight construction materials, and showcases cutting-edge materials such as ETFE and bendable steel plates. This was also the expressed through the building’s double facade: elegant translucent ETFE covered by light steel bubbles. Situated on the existing site, the design seamlessly integrates the original warehouse structure, repurposing it as a public exhibition space. This preserved section acts as a focal point, around which the newly constructed research center wraps, offering panoramic views of the material exhibitions.

BLOODY BALLAD

Short Film Making

A tribute to Quentin Tarantino Project Tutor: Liam Denhamer Date: 04.2023-06.2023 Individual Work(UCLA school work) BLOODY BALLAD SCRIPT The WOMAN sits alone in a abandoned church. the MAN entered, presence disrupting the tranquility. He approaches the Woman, an unsettling smile curling his lips. The camera turns to the church, the candles on the side are blown out by the wind, and the light shines on the faces of the women in the first row. This is the goal of the man today. The man slowly approached the woman and took out the pistol in his pocket. Man: ( locking eyes with the woman) I see you've been waiting for me. Woman: (smirking) Oh, I've been counting the days, sweetheart. The tension between them rises, a palpable force. Man: (whispering) Peace can be deceiving, darling. You never know what's hiding beneath the surface. Woman: Is that some sort of threat? Because let me tell you, I don't scare easily. Minutes pass, their bodies still. The man suddenly stands up, pulling out a gun, Oh, I think you'll find that I'm full of surprises. Time to pay for your little games! In a swift motion, the Man points the gun at the Woman, his face a mask of betrayal. But the Woman is prepared. Without hesitation, she lunges at the Man, their bodies colliding in a desperate dance of survival. Their struggle intensifies, the church echoing with their silent battle. With a surge of strength, the Woman overpowers the Man, her knife finding its mark. The Man's body falls to the ground, blood seeping into the sacred space. The Woman's gaze remains fixed on her fallen foe, she delivers a barrage of stabs, each strike an embodiment of her shattered trust. With a final, haunting look, the Woman turns away, The church returns to its solitary stillness.

Quentin Tarantino, a film industry legend known for his bold style, employs animation in "Kill Bill" to playfully distort violence, creating a cartoonish vibe. This technique serves as a buffer, emphasizing themes of war and revenge while providing a theatrical escape from harsh realities. Tarantino prioritizes theatricality over realism, turning films like "Kill Bill" into platforms for fantasy and play. In sound design, he skillfully toggles between realistic and stylistic tones during violent scenes, guiding the audience's perception. Tarantino's mastery extends to extreme close-ups, used for various purposes, conveying gravity, character dynamics, and aesthetic appeal. In a tribute to Quentin Tarantino, I integrated these techniques into my film, crafting animations, including the poster, personally drawn to enhance artistic expression. This homage reflects Tarantino's iconic style, blending theatricality, animation, and meticulous sound design for a unique cinematic experience.
