CO-EXSISTENCE

Destructive Conflict

Passive Co-existence

Active Co-existence

While much of the scholarly writing on co-existence has focused mainly on event conflicts, its basic tenets -- recognizing multiplicity, the worth of the 'Other,' and nonviolence -- are applicable in architecture.Active coexistence is what I am committed to exploring. In this type of coexistence, relationships are characterized by a recognition and respect for diversity and an active embrace of difference.

I believe that the world is actually not static or chaotic, but it lacks clear expression, and there is no possibility of open and public sharing.I think architecture is to create a continuum of relations, reciprocities, and comprehensible communication with the latent world. Soliciting a wide array of questions about refugee, transculturalism, visibility, inclusion, and exclusion, the portfolio sheds light on the long-term social processes generated between architectural form and its context.How to balance the complexity of architecture and make it coexist with the context has always been my concern.

Architecture of Co-existence offers a truly interdisciplinary perspective on a very timely subject: “Building pluralism” means designing for a respectful inclusion of different cultural needs, practices, and traditions.

Reminiscent of the form of newspaper, the miserable past of the refugees was recorded and restored. We also reconstructed the section of the ship according to the refugee’s suffering when they fled. The profile of ship comprises three parts: a factory where refugees are trafficked by smugglers, a detention center where they were illegally sent across the border, and a refugee camp where they were quarantined when they arrived in Europe. The history in which refugees' economic, political and cultural rights were deprived was described by means of metaphor. The first space displays the contradictions and tensions in the geographical landscape of capitalism. Neocolonialism civilizes and tamed the other under the surface, revealing the miserable exploitation of refugees. The second space, through Michel Foucault's archetypes of Discipline and Punish as well as Panopticon, demonstrates the brutal punishment and control imposed by the authorities on refugees. The third space, inspired by the The Truman Show, creates a scene where the pseudo happy refugee community performed as a propaganda culture and campaign tool for politicians in the third receiving country. In the whole process of the scheme, architectural design was more like a materialized practice of thinking. Narrative served as one of the most pivotal vehicle to define a refugee problem or even more, enabling me to comprehend the latent world from another perspective.

There is a fairy tale that the Libyan people compete to chant which called:Udea and her seven brothers. One day, the brothers set out and told their aunt that if their mother had a daughter, to wave a white handkerchief, and they would return at once;. It was a daughter, but the aunt wished to be rid of the boys, so she waved a sickle.

The daughter, Udea, grew up not knowing about her brothers. One day, an older child taunted her for driving her brothers away, who were forever roaming the world; she questioned her mother and set out to find them. Her mother gave her a camel, some food, a cowrie shell about the camel's neck as a charm, an African and his wife to take care of her. On the second day, Barka told Udea to get off the camel so that his wife could ride in her place.

The wife was close by and told Barka to leave Udea alone. Udea called out for her mother to no avail and Barka threw the girl to the ground. The wife climbed onto the camel and Udea walked on the ground, her bare feet cut up because of the stones on her path. Udea abandoned by them, she have no choice but to walk alone. One day, Udea passed a city, where they were told of the castle where the brothers lived. However, they accepted her without question. Her tears of joy left white marks on her face. One alarmed brother took a cloth and rubbed the mark until the pitch was gone. The brother asked her who had painted her skin black, to which she would not answer.

She finally relented, describing the treatment she received during her travels. Here her new journey begins……

Returning Home to Ithaca

THE ODYSSEY

The last part of the Trojan Horse war, after 20 long years, brings home Odysseus, the hero of the shipwreck. On his way back to Greece, God punishes him, puts him through all kinds of hardships, and he ends up with his wife, his friends and his family dead, and he comes home alone.

0-500AD NOAH'S ARK

The story of the Hebrew Bible Genesis, a large ship built on God's instructions, is originally described as a square vessel, but many of the images are depicted as approximate ship-shaped vessels, built to allow Noah and his family, as well as the world's various land creatures to escape a god-made flood disaster, records that It took decades for Noah's Ark to be built

1500-1700AD Hobbes LEVIATHAN OR THE MATTER

The whole book of Livitan is divided into four parts, namely, "On Man", "On the State", "On the Christian State" and "On the Dark Kingdom". It was written at the time of the English Civil War. In this book Hobbes presents his views on the social foundations and the legitimacy of government. In human nature, some people may be stronger or smarter than others, but none will be strong or smart enough to die in violence. When threatened with death, a man in a natural state must do everything in his power to protect himself. Hobbes believed that protecting himself from violent death was the highest necessity of mankind, and that power came from necessity.

1860-1880AD

Illegal Immigration

FROM AFRICA

Slave traders sailed from Europe to Africa 20,000,000+refugees

The Atlantic slave trade, or transatlantic slave trade. It refers to a trade in the Transatlantic region that provided the people of the African continent as cheap labour to the colonies of the American continent during the 16th and 19th centuries (some believe it as early as the 15th century and into the 20th century).

Slaves came mainly from West and Central Africa, where blacks were captured by Europeans through trade or attacks, kidnappings and other means to the American continent.

1000BC

“ARGO” of Easun The Argobai, a duo of Greek mythology, was built with the help of Athena by Greek hero dao such as Iason. It can accommodate fifty oarsmans and take the shipbuilder's name and name it "Argo", which means "light ship". The heroes took this boat to obtain gold wool. The ship has since been burned down as a sacrifice to Athena. That's where the South Boat Seat

FROM EUROPE

After the end of the First World War, the defeated Germany was in turmoil and serious social, political and economic crises occurred, which also forced many Germans to emigrate to other countries for a long time in the first World War. Due to the active participation of the United States, the social unrest and political crisis in Germany intensified early after the defeat ended in

FROM VIETNAM

30,000+refugees shipping to china

Between 1978 and the early 1980s, more than 200,000 Vietnamese refugees poured into China's borders as a result of the Vietnam War. China's local government accepts all refugees unconditionally, and all of them are provided free of charge by the government. According to statistics, by the end of 1978, China had accepted a total of 265,000 Vietnamese refugees to seek refuge in China.

“愚人船”是中世纪文学和社会生 活中处置精神错乱者的特殊工 具，人们将疯人送上船，任其 漂流。 在福柯的《疯癫与文明》书中 ，原本疯癫并没有成为区分人 的重要条件，疯人们游荡在欧 洲各地，他们的形象通过各种 文学作品成为了神秘智慧的象 征，疯人经常可以说出关键的 话语。而近代的麻风病院成了 疯人院，人们随之对疯人实行 大禁闭，并且无情地静置疯人 ，这并不是人类理性的明证， 恰恰是另一种疯癫的表征。

FROM VIETNAM

Indo-Chinese refugees in China refer to refugees taken in by the Chinese government during the Indo-in crisis, the vast majority of whom are from Vietnam, only a small number from Laos and Cambodia, and the vast majority are Chinese or ethnic Chinese, and only a small number are Vietnamese.

SITE LOCATION Tripoli is the capital of Libya, the capital of Tripoli district, the political, economic and cultural center of the count r y, a n d t h e l a rg e s t i n t e r n a t i o n a l m e t ro p o l i s i n L i bya .

The base is located between Tripoli’s Green Square and the coastal port.The site has a distinct historical value, with The Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Spaniards, Turks, Italians and British successively occupying Tripoli, and green Square became a place for people to march in the turbulent situation in Tripoli after the fall of The Gaddafi regime.

FROM EUROPE

After World War II, the anti-Semitic forces in American society gradually weakened.

On the one hand, the atrocities of persecution and massacre of Jews in Nazi Germany were widely condemned, aroused sympathy and support for Jews, and anti-Semitic racist forces in American society became increasingly unpopular; For various reasons, some U.S. government leaders have also adopted a supportive and rallying attitude towards Jews, such as the earlier Wilson and later Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, who not only supported the Zionist movement and the establishment of the State of Israel internationally, but also used some Jews in important positions in domestic politics. So, since the war, Jews have evolved into one of the most influential minorities in American society.

第二次世界大戰後，美國社會中的反猶勢力逐 漸減弱。一方面納粹德國迫害和屠殺猶太人的 暴行受到了普遍的譴責，激起了人們對猶太人 的同情和支持，美國社會中的反猶種族主義勢 力越來越不得人心；另一方面，猶太人經過努 力奮鬥，開始在美國社會中紮下根來，影響越 來越大，各個領域中都出現了一些傑出的代表 人物。一些美國政府領導人出於各種原因，也 對猶太人採取了支持和拉攏的態度，如較早的 威爾遜和後來的羅斯福、杜魯門等幾位總統， 不僅在國際上支持猶太復國主義運動和以色列 國的建立，在國內政治中也起用了一些猶太人 擔任重要職務。所以，戰後以來，猶太人逐漸 發展為美國社會中最有影響的一個少數民族。

2000-2020AD 80,000,000+ Refugees

The European refugee crisis refers to the surge of refugees or economic migrants from the Middle East, especially from Libya, through the Mediterranean to seek residency in EU countries since the Arab Spring broke out at the end of 2010.

LIBYA WEEKLY

ESCAPE ROUTE

People flee their homes since the war began. During their fleeing process, they beard the hot desert climate of southern Africa.In order to stay alive, they are forced to exchange money with the smugglers to redeem themselves from their control. Due to the squeeze of the snake's head , they have to work in the sweatshop for several years.

During this period, the refugees were mostly subjected to capital exploitation by the smugglers.

SMUGGLER'S FACTORY —— Economic Exploitation

In the design, a screening mechanism is set up at the entrance, metaphoring refugees' miserable experience during their fleeing process. When they enter the factory, they are forced to receive vocational education and manage to pass the vocational exam, otherwise they will go to prison and die.The refugees who pass through rent a container in the factory, which will inflate because of thousands of refugees' entry. The refugees need to trade labor in a trading center in order to buy themselves out of the factory. With the increasingly difficult trade, many have fallen down the drain to their deaths.

In European Customs centres, some were sent back, some were detained, only a small number of people entered the European refugee camps, in which contains numerous media exposure. The media express their humanitarian spirit, or make use of the refugees to get votes.

In this period, the refugees were mostly subjected to cultural exploitation by the mainstream media.

INSIDE The end of the story A film of the story and the reviews.

Charlotte London Evening Top Critic

Kevin Times Top Critic

Jail and the boat scenes, at the beginning and end, may be a tad implausible, not to mention the end of the story. But the middle section, mostly move cameras on the factory and the model community of the boat, is breathtaking, topical, hilarious, tender and brutal.

The swelling migrant crisis in Libya gets a human face in this frequently harrowing Oscar-nominated drama from the director. The non-professional child actor stars as Udea, a protective and foul-mouthed urchin from the slums of Libya who, as the film opens, is suing his neglectful parents for bringing him into this cruel world.

Peter Guardian Top Critic It’s a much angrier, tougher - and sometimes funnier - film than you might imagine from its cloying opening premise.

Bilge Village Voice Top Critic

Tomris Ebert.com Top Critic These pains somehow don’t feel exploitative or gratuitous-there is a nuanced matter-of-factness even in Udea’s empathy that prevents it to ever become pity.

Despite an awkwardly didactic climax, the results are grueling and powerful.

Adam D News Top Critic

Matthew San Diego Reader Top Critic

I’ve seen amusement park goddesses stripped naked, washed blood-stained clothes, and heard rumors that Spider-Man has become a cockroach. Just know that beauty will become ugly, purity will become dirty and smelly, heroes are all over the world, but there is nothing they can do. Give virginity to the world, pierce the ugliness with a dagger, sue your parents by prosecution, and laugh and mock fate. Zane gave the baby to the man, only to learn that he could not protect anyone. He stood on the corner of the dilapidated street, as if life had come to an end.

A film that explicitly argues against the war into the world under difficult circumstances while relying for its narrative hook and dramatic effect on the heroism and resilience of a child finding her brother under difficult circumstances and foul-mouthed urchin from the refugee camps who, as the film opens, is suing his neglectful brothers for bringing her into this cruel world.

02 RIVER FRAME THE RESPONSE TO URBAN LIFE AND NATURAL CONTEXT Co-working space architecture competitions,, 2020 FALL Instructor:Yiqi Song Site: Nan’an District, Chongqing Team:Yi Xu,Xiangping Zhang Contribution: Concept(80%), Research(50%), Diagram(60%), Modeling(90%), Technical drawings(60%),Renderings(100%)

The site is located in Nan’an District, Chongqing city. With the government intervention of the development of areas along the Yangtze River, more and more commercial buildings and complexes are under construction to promote local economy, while the cultural architecture is ignored by public. Therefore, the starting point of the design came from the urban research. We summarized the conclusion of the research, aiming to build an office building owning cultural and educational activities to meet the public needs of this area and make it a centre for gathering different people, connecting infrastructures in the neighbourhood and facilities nearby. Besides, we also captured the essence of natural surroundings, and put forward the building that not only fulfills the role itself, but recreate the river view to be the participant in their context. A lot of geometry elements were used to achieve this goal.

In the end, we managed to make the building become a frame which reshapes the river view and act as the link between the city and nature.

To make full advantage of the river view, according to the site analysis, the frame is eroded into the building. By creating different geometry holes matching the respective volumes on the facades, the borderless scenery now turns to be pieces with various frames, offering people inside the building vivid experience to enjoy the river view. The whole building is standing on the riverside as a filter to reshape the view.

In the TUD URBAN FUTURE SMART DENSITY X SHANGHAI workshop led by Professor Aksel, the Lilong community has a history of nearly a hundred years. The population is extremely crowded, the environment has become more and more messy, and the residents have become selfish and lack communication with each other. I found that if we think about community issues from another perspective of the community-the fifth aspect, everything would become different. Utilize the abandoned rooftops of the houses in the community as outdoor leisure spaces shared by residents, and connect them with some indoor public spaces with some aerial corridors, so that many people can rest here and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Can communicate more. When community residents approve of my design, I am convinced that there is more than one side of the world.

At night, after f inishing the day's work, people retur n to the dwelling unit.Under the action of light,More people wil choose to get out of the private space and enter the public space, Such a shared community,people have more opportunities to get from stranger to acquaintance. It is said that for these young entrepreneurs,not only provide cheap housing, but also help them to expand their social circle, Form a family life with entrepreneurial partners in the community. Make this urban village community ,be a source of vitality for the city.

STATUS QUO

NATURAL PROGRESSION OF THE URBAN AREA A longtang ( 弄 堂 lòngtáng, Shanghainese: longtang) is a lane in Shanghai and, by extension, a community centred on a lane or several interconnected lanes.It is sometimes called lilong ( 里 弄 ); the latter name incorporates the -li suffix often used in the name of residential developments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Shanghai longdang is loosely equivalent to the hutong of Beijing. As with the term hutong, the Shanghai longdang can either refers to the lanes that the houses face onto, or a group of houses connected by the lane.

04 CITY DNA A CITY WITHIN A CITY Academic Work, 2019 Winter Instructor:XiaoMing Chen Site: Xiaoxiang Road,Changsha,China Individual Work

The idea behind CITY DNA is to extend city life along the building in a dramatic circling motion from bottom to top. This building not only designed a public square and a high-rise urban balcony on its ground floor, but even its top-level space is open to the public.

The public activities are distributed from bottom to top along the pixelated stairs of the entire building, returning the entire building to public. Architecture has a strong sense of the city and the public, and has become an active participant in urban public activities.

The central idea of the whole plan is to use a spiral DNA chain to connect the platform, terrace and corridor space with green plants as a whole. With its visual impact, CITY DNA endows the city currency environment with the simplicity and power of the new courage, and the two-design system of Xie Qun/Da Yi IJIteaching shows the human settlements in the building through open design. The spiral terraces and podium buildings on the tower turn the urban surface to the natural landscape surface, forming an outdoor natural hillside, providing a social space network, and providing various dining and leisure facilities. The square and the architectural cube are connected to the city and nature. The space is closely connected. This group of multi-level vibrant public squares will become a meeting place, a planned and spontaneous cultural activity place, and a scenic resort for urban residents.

Black stone and white light Form a stubborn contrast The storm hits the shore The heroic shadow of the cannon As a recluse in the deep twilight Becomes a legend And turns silent No one mentions it Here once stood a fort Expected that one day The glory regained To reveal to the world its heart Look up and expect In the church people chant In memory of the hero's past That need to be kept As its being integrated Into a wandering twist ''

05 THE IMAGE OF CHANGSHA CITY SERIES ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING The Image of Changsha City·Chaozong Historical Street (Processing)

&HITORICAL STREETS Professional Project,2017-2020 Instructor:Wei Wang,Jintian Yi Site:Changsha,China Main Team: Yi`an Zhou,Yi Xu Team Work

The urban picture book is an easy-to-understand medium because it could effectively promote the understanding and participation of the citizens by addressing the problems caused by the protection and renewal of historic districts and urban development. The book The image of Changsha City· Chaozong Historical Street is based on the urban study and spatial narrative methods. It integrates multiple disciplines on the basis of architecture, condensing our thinking on urban culture and urban issues, proffering an alternative perspective for the public to elucidate the city. In creation, we utilized UAV tilt photography scanning to restore the scene, quickly modeling the block information via SketchUp. We also deployed technologies such as 3D printing to make the book as tactile and vivid, while instilling our own feelings into the city simultaneously.

The good news is that it will be published soon.

"The image of Changsha City" series start from the memory of space, event and place. It is not only a record and inheritance of urban cultural life, but also a response to the future.
