01 Mine in Mind

Renovation of mining heritage

Location: Allihies, Cloan, Ireland

Partnership: Individual work

Tutor: Shaosen Wang

Time: Nov. 2022 - Jan. 2023

In the city of Allihies, County Cork, Ireland, there is a group of buildings that are a legacy of mining history. The existence of these buildings bears witness to the history of the Ireland of miners, men and women of brave hearts that used to mine from the heart of the island the minerals feeding the furious 19th-century industry. Among them, the architecture near the mountain mine is a machine-building that was used to move miners underground. Around 1830, the building was equipped with a device called the "Man Engine," which was used to transport miners hundreds of meters underground. This was a dangerous device that could cause mining accidents, and miners worked day and night underground in harsh conditions with no light, thin air, and flying dust.

Today, the building is fenced off. The design aims to transform this old building into the destination of the Allihies Copper Mine Trail walk, a museum where the history of mining can be displayed, and a space where people can rest as well as meditate. My design concept is an abstract spatial translation of the mining process. The building itself serves as the witness and presentation, so I divided the mining process into several chapters: entering, digging, transporting and pulling out, trying to restore the feelings of miners at each stage in the building: the tortuous, dark and depressed space of entering and digging the mine with only occasional light beams, just like the instance when explosives burst in mining. Visitors who come into this museum will experience the same and finally get out and enjoy the natural beauty.

Man Engine House

This story is about a dusty Ireland made of dirt and sweat, efforts and poverty. The mining history of Allihies & The Puxley Family

Allihies is a former village of miners. Its urban layout proves its nature of industrial settlement with a history connected to copper mines. Here, in 1812, the Puxley family founded a company Tomine copner establishing 3 large mining sites ln less than a century, starting from the peak of the mountain, they reached depths of up to 100 meters below sea level.

Man Engine

The engineers Michael Loam and Son installed a man engine - a system to lower and lift miners- that revolutionized the mining industry of that time in this architecture, a complex system used to mechanically move a system of reciprocating platforms to enable miners to be lifted from deep galleries quicker and in greater safety. The production site was a technical innovation for that time. Yet, the following evolution of other mines entailed a rapid decline of the European copper market resulting in the closure of the mine in 1884.

Detached two-bay three-stage engine house, built 1862, comprising circular-profile tower to south-east, boiler house to east, drum for winding and gearing for man-engine to north and west. Now disused. Rubble limestone walls with red brick to upper courses of tower. Square-headed openings with timber lintels. Square-headed openings to drum. Camber-headed openings and segmental brick arch opening to boiler house. Various open mineshafts to surrounding area.

The main ore mineral formerly extracted in course of working the Allihies mines was chalcopyrite.Large quarries are open to the surface and have long been known for their finely crystalline langstones and green copper ore crusts that form after abandoned mines.

The building will be the end of the route, providing an exhibition of history and a function of rest and meditation.

This way-marked walking trail takes in six of the seven mine sites around Allihies. Follow in the footsteps of the miners and enjoy the stunning natural setting of this post-industrial landscape, where two more engine houses still stand and the remains of other mine-related buildings, such as powder houses and dressing floors, await discovery by the visitor. You will travel by the beach along the cliffs and across fields to the mountain.

The process of mining

The original copper mine was in the hills and the miners had to climb from their dwellings at the bottom of the hill to the caves in the hills and then go underground. The process was difficult and tortuous, as was the entry into the mine, which was fraught with unknown dangers, and it is this mood that this section seeks to convey to the visitor, moving down a path with no certainty in sight.

This section of the building utilizes the original height difference of the site - a pitto create such a meandering path. At the bottom is an exhibition hall with a window to view the entrance to the original entrance to the mine.

As a transitional space bridging the addition and the original building, on one side there is the hand-treated stone, and on the other the stone wall of the original building. The use of raised masses allows visitors to observe the heritage above.

The Irish's favourite activity is drinking. This is why a semi-open bar has been set up at the end of the building, where people who have been on a walking tour can relax while looking out over the natural landscape.

A steel-framed traffic space is erected inside the building and detached from the original building in order to protect it. From the underground, a lift takes you to the top to experience the view, then go down the stairs to experience the original building.

The interior of the original chimney incorporates a light pipe device to bring the faint light into the meditation space at the bottom.

02 Miami Floating House

Hurricane - resilient communities at sea

Location: Miami, Florida, United States of America

Partnership: Individual work

Tutor: Suyu Li

Time: Apr. 2022 - Jun. 2022

Miami has become the least affordable US city to live, because its housing stock has been depleted, due to its rapidly growing population. At the same time, Miami was faced with the threat of rising sea levels, hurricanes and floods. Much of the city lies in porous limestone, making it particularly vulnerable to flooding and climate change. Rising water levels are causing coastal residents to lose their homes and rising rents are displacing them. Meanwhile, rising water levels have flooded out many parklands, leaving the city with less green space to be used.

In this project, an offshore residential community is designed to withstand hurricanes. To make the houses strong and affordable, the concept of a core was

developed, where the basic spaces of four houses were grouped together to form a polygonal structure made of strong steel to withstand hurricanes. The core was fixed to rods inserted into the seabed that would undulate with the rods, and the remaining spaces required for the homes could be built with simple structures to reduce the cost of construction while making it a free community that could grow. A mangrove growing field has been designed within the community, allowing the mangrove to reappear as a replacement for the lost green space, adding an extra layer of protection in the event of a hurricane, and making it easy to build interesting community activities around the mangrove.

Issue: Sea level rise and unaffordable house in miami

Miami is facing emergencies.

First, it has become the least affordable US city to live in. Its housing stock has been depleted by its quickly growing population. New developments are pushing rental rates and costs of housing higher, making areas now unaffordable, and pricing people out of their neighborhoods.

Miami's second major emergency comes from the growing realization that its housing is greatly threatened by rising sea levels caused by climate change. Miami Dade County contains 26% of all U.S. homes at risk from sea level rise2. The problems of

sea-level rise and housing affordability in Miami merge together as a new phenomenon called “climate gentrification”. Current residents of neighborhoods located on higher ground within the city are being displaced by coastal residents looking to escape the rising seas and flooding.

The rise in sea level has flooded not only homes but also parks along the waterside, which are the spaces in the city most affected by sea level rise.

In addition to this, Miami is also a hurricane-ravaged area. Hurricanes have increased the homelessness of residents.

How to solve the problems in Miami ？

Little Haiti and Little River are two bordering neighborhoods located north of downtown Miami just west of Biscayne Bay.

They have rich cultural histories filled with Haitian and Caribbean residents who have lived in these neighborhoods their entire lives, and some for multiple generations. However, recently they

have become hotspots for new developments and climate gentrification.

The project seeks to make a floating affordable housing community at sea to accommodate these residents, while being resistant to weather threats such as hurricanes and flooding.

Hurricane-proof Floating House Instructions

The shape of the main body of the building is designed to effectively reduce the risk of hurricanes.

The IceWind's fan wheel is made from stainless steel, carbon fibre and aircraft-grade aluminium, making it light and strong enough to withstand extreme weather conditions. The turbine also automatically decelerates in strong winds to prevent the machine from catching fire, making it very practical.

STEP 1

Core to Save

The premise of "CORE" is to create a sustainable, affordable and disasterresilient home to withstand the climate challenges posed by hurricanes.

Formal Strategies

Inside the CORE there is an area dedicated to saving electricity to meet the demand for electricity in the event of a hurricane.

STEP

Each CORE has a long tube in the center and the bottom consists of a float system so that the CORE can move up and down along the center, which makes it possible to withstand the waves.

A rainwater collection system transports rainwater to a water purification processor at the bottom. Processed water will be used for laundry and hand washing. This used water (known as gray water) as well as water from bathing can be used to flush toilets.

The shape of the roof prevents the wind from lifting it. The combination of CORE forms a large public space.

Individuals to Systems

Each of the six COREs will constitute a small community , with a community center in the middle. Several communities form a large framework system, on top of which public spaces such as retail are superimposed.

Mangroves are an important part of the Florida and Caribbean coastline ecosystem, however, 86% of Florida's mangroves has disappeared since the 1940s. Mangroves grow on coasts, and are uniquely resistant to rising sea levels. As the water rises, they keep growing and creating new ground under themselves. In addition, mangroves are a second line of defense against storms by reducing wave heights by 66%.

Growth of red mangroves

Among the four types of mangroves that exist in Florida, red mangroves are the most suitable for this area. Red mangroves, which are broad-leaved evergreen trees, are easily identified by their remarkable aboveground prop roots that transport air to their waterlogged belowground roots.

A module was designed where mangrove seedlings are placed in an incubator. As the mangrove roots grow, simple panels can be built around the mangrove to allow for various activities.

At Present During the Hurricane In the Future

When a hurricane comes, the sturdy CORE can resist the hurricane to the maximum extent possible. There are all the functions to meet the basic life of a person, and can also continue to obtain electricity through wind and light energy. In addition, there is enough space to store emergency supplies. Although the addition of the house was destroyed, these parts can be quickly rebuilt to minimize the damage.

The community relies on the assembly to achieve a simple, fast, and cost-saving framework, on which each family is then free to choose the features to build. There are different living room modules according to the needs. The public space streets in the center can attract outsiders and at the same time meet part of the employment needs of the community residents.

In the future, sea levels rise and the demand for floating homes increases. This community model is a sustainable model that can be replicated and overlaid all the time. At the same time, the community is free to grow more free space and mangrove space to meet the demand for more space utilization.

03 Urban Forest Explorers

New model for urban kindergarten

Location: Xiamen, Fujian, China

Partnership: Individual work

Tutor: Daifeng Song

Time: Feb. 2020 - Apr. 2020

This project offers the possibility of a new model of kindergarten education - the forest education model for urban kindergartens. Young children in China have lost many opportunities for contact with nature in the development of society, and this is not conducive to their development. By joining XMU's Greenwild Society - an environmental conservation association - was amazed at the educational concept of "nature education". This model puts children at the center of the learning process and allows them to explore and learn about nature in a more active and participatory way than traditional teacher-led education. Unfortunately, due to various factors, this

model can only be used by a select few in China.

My goal is to create a forest kindergarten in the city that could provide this nature education to all families. The indoor space is designed to accommodate the necessary activities, while the outdoor space is designed to provide a free continuous semioutdoor space for active learning. I wanted to design a free space against "discipline", a space with maximum mobility for free movement and behavior, in order to flip the existing nursery space. By creating a more equitable education system, wanted to give all children the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Children are Becoming Disconnected from Nature

The cost of social development is that children have become formed away from nature and the outdoors. Each generation of Chinese children has its own form of recreation, but it is clear that modern children spend significantly less time in nature.

A Day in the Kindergarten for Children

70s 80s 90s 00s 10s

Accelerated Urbanization Educational Stress Electronic Products

Over the past few decades, China has been growing at a rapid pace, with cities expanding and people moving into apartments and losing large private yards, which has left children with less and less access to fields and nature.

The pressure to advance to higher education has also squeezed children's time outside.

The Popularity in the electronics industry has led to the proliferation of many gaming products. Children are moving from dirt to steel and concrete.

In contrast to the nature education model prevalent in Northern Europe, the "forest kindergarten", which has been found to be more conducive to the development of young children than ordinary early childhood education, the education that children receive in ordinary kindergartens in China does not actually cure the "nature deficit".

After comparing the schedule activities of Forest Kindergarten and Chinese Kindergarten, it was found that the main difference lies in the length of time spent outdoors in a day. The schedule of the forest kindergarten in the city was designed by selecting the advantages of the two educational models, which allows for as much outdoor interaction as possible while retaining a certain amount of knowledgebased curriculum education.

What's the Difference？

Location: Siming District, Xiamen, China

The main difference between forest education kindergartens and regular kindergartens is the use of outdoor space. In Forest Education Model kindergartens, outdoor space is used as an integral part of the learning environment, whereas in regular kindergartens, outdoor space is used primarily for recreational activities. In the Forest Education Model kindergarten, the outdoor space is designed to provide a natural learning environment with activities such as nature walks, outdoor play, and gardening. In regular kindergartens, outdoor spaces are typically used for playgrounds and other recreational activities. In addition, forest education model kindergartens typically have a more open and flexible layout with fewer walls and more natural elements, while regular kindergartens typically have a more structured and closed layout. COURSE

Feature 1：

Compact housing in the surrounding community

Traditional Kindergarden：Teaching and Activities Mainly in Indoor Space

Main Design Strategies

The typical Chinese kindergarten offers its classes mainly indoors, with a defined playground for classroom activities and a field for growing plants outside the classroom, but it is relatively small and does not have many different kinds of plants, so the children do not actually have much contact with nature. In addition, the classroom is a relatively closed space with few connections to the outside world, and the children's route of activities in the kindergarten is relatively fixed and single.

Forest Education Model Kindergarten：Teaching and Activities Mainly in Outdoor

The floor slopes up gradually and is connected to the roof, so that there is no clear division between indoor and outdoor, creating a maximum outdoor space.

According to the standard of an average Chinese kindergarten, this kindergarten needs to accommodate at least 240 children. In order to accommodate the children's free range of activities, an average of 40 square meters per child is required, making the site very compact.

Feature 2：

Little natural elements around the site

Forest kindergarten in the city is an innovative educational model in which most of the activities of young children take place in outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Education is not traditional in the same way. Children will spend long periods of time in open spaces with plants and trees. The kindergarten provides children with freedom of movement at will, and the interface of the indoor space is more open than in a typical kindergarten.

The

to accommodate plants adapted to

weather in Xiamen, so that children can be surrounded by plants anytime.

Feature 3：

Waterfront area with the possibility of a view of the sea

The site is in the old city of Xiamen, and there are few parks, grasslands, trees, etc. in the surrounding area, so children living in this neighborhood have little opportunity to get in touch with nature, which the kindergarten needs to provide. The site is bordered by the water, which used to be a dock, but is now out of use. From the site there is a possibility to see the sea view through the gap of the surrounding buildings.

In order to create as much outdoor or semi-outdoor space as possible on a small site, the main part of the building is elevated to create a ground floor space on the lower level and an outdoor space on the roof. The gradual rise of the floor slab connects the ground and roof to form a circular structure that creates a long flow and a large space for activities, in which the architectural and natural elements are intertwined, allowing children to remain in contact with nature and providing a good place for forest education.

Trees that Match the Size of the Holes

Time: Apr. 2020 - Jun. 2020

The proposal is to build a film culture center in Xiamen that aims to revitalize and showcase the forgotten films of Xiayu. The design of the building is intended to create a connection between film and architecture, enabling visitors to experience and immerse themselves in the content of the film.

see a resemblance between the concept of montage in film and the theory of transparency in architecture, as both offer new expressions in the organization of time and space that can generate effects beyond the individual shot or space. As a result, the design aims to create spaces that have a syncretic quality, using superimposition and continuity to create a cinematic experience within the architectural experience.

Taking inspiration from the design approach of Tschumi, have divided the spatial experience into three elements: event, movement, and space, to establish a stronger connection between the exhibition function and the other functions of the building. This division creates a unique viewing experience of the exhibition and enhances the spatial and functional coherence of the building.

The Reel Remix Cinema Center would be a visually striking and innovative space that celebrates the art of filmmaking while providing an immersive and educational experience for visitors.

04 Reel Remix

Film culture centre

Montage in movies is an editing technique that edits together a series of shots from different locations, different distances, and different angles to create a new order of time and space

Xiayu ( Amoy dialect ) Film

The term "Xiayu film" refers to films made in Hong Kong or the South Seas in the 1950s and 1960s in the Amoy dialect, a specific term used at the time, but now collectively referred to as Minnan films.In the early days of the film's development, the film was sold on the basis of southern Fujian music and singing, and the plot was based on southern Fujian folk opera stories, such as "Chen San Wu Niang". During the war period, a large number of Xiayu film's main actors, directors and scriptwriters went south to Hong Kong. During this period, Hong Kong produced more than 240 films in the language. In the early 1970s, with the introduction of Mandarin in Singapore and Malaysia, Xialu films faded into obscurity.

As Xiayu films were rarely screened in China, only very few local people in Xiamen were aware of them. This design is for a cultural centre in Xiamen's Jimei district to revive this forgotten genre of cinema in its hometown.

The Connection between Montage and Transparency

Montage in film and Colin Rowe's Phenomenal transparency both explore the concept of visual perception and its impact on interpreting and comprehending images. Montage, used in film, involves blending different shots to create a new meaning. Similarly, Rowe's theory of phenomenal transparency suggests that our understanding of images is shaped by our prior experiences and expectations, and that in architecture, the superposition of spaces creates new sensory experiences. Both highlight the significance of context and interpretation in comprehending visual information. The aim is to unveil hidden connections and correlations that are not immediately apparent. Montage completes the narrative of the cinematic shot, while transparency makes the space coherent and fluid.

Rowe and Slutzky proposed two types of transparency in architecture in the essay, "Transparency: Literal and Phenomenal". They divided transparency into literal, meaning the material conditions of glass, and phenomenal, as derived from Cubist paintings. Transparency implies the simultaneous perception of a series of different spatial positions. Phenomenal transparency exists when a designer deliberately abstracts space, not through the use of overlaying transparent planes, but through the reorganization of multiple spacial grids that would normally define a plane.

From the montage technique and the theory of transparency comes the essential characteristics of superposition and continuity, both of which allow for the reorganization of time and space in film or architecture, allowing for a broader sense of experience. This design attempts to recreate this feeling.

The montage in Tschumi's architectural approach is the division of the spatial experience into three levels: event, movement and space, achieved by isolating pieces of the experience and designing that bit of action in detail. This approach is well realised in the design of the Parc de la Villette in Paris.

The presence of walls is reduced within the building and the through-height spaces are used to delineate the spatial perception of the different special rooms, so that one can perceive the presence of several spaces within the building at the same time.

New life for the old city walls

Location: Xiamen, Fujian, China

Partnership: Team work with Lin Yin, Liu Yuqing

Tutor: Zhiye Li

Time: Nov. 2021 - Jan. 2022

The project is located in the Zhongshan Park area of Xiamen's Siming district, a site with a rich historical and cultural heritage that has been forgotten by urban development. The exploration found that its function in the city is ecological and humanistic. The area is surrounded by Zhongshan Park, but its boundaries are closed, which results in the under-utilization of the park's landscape. In addition to this, the site is underutilized for its other cultural features, particularly a section of Xiamen's ancient city wall.

The design defines Zhongshan Park as the core of the site and extends a green vein from the old city wall to the site, namely

The GREEN WALL, which connects four main nodes：the People's Stadium, the old villa complex on Huaxin Road, the flower and bird market on Xixian Road and the Xiamen City Ruins. The site is positioned as "humanistic" and "ecological" in nature, with the Xiamen City Ruins and the People's Stadium grouped under the theme of "humanistic art" while the Huaxin Road and Xi'anliu Flower and Bird Market are grouped under the theme of "ecological art".

The Eco-6Re concept was introduced to update the site, dividing the site into six zones and positioning the areas differently.The GREEN WALL links the six zones together and brings the site to its full functional potential.

Site Studies around Historical Nodes and Crowd

The site is located in the Siming District of Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, an old urban area, which bears between the historical tourism area and the cultural tourism area in the planning of Xiamen, with an area of 54 hectares.There are many buildings of value on the site.
