Cylinder Maze Architecture Design - One System, Two Buildings Redefining the Concept of Thresholds in Architecture Individual Work To what extent can the limits of the building be simplified? Can architectural elements be simplified to just "cylinders"? To what extent can "cylinder" be presented in a building?

Can an architecture be previously decided in a certain kind of system that creating the form, without the consideration of function, and then let a certain kind of suited function to be injected into the system?

The Construct and de-construct of the system

The Porous Interface Introducing Light and Air Taking the inspiration from Yayoi Kusama's polka dots art works from different periods, the system is made up with a three dimensional version of the polka dots——a repetition and variation of vertical column-like constructions. So different layers of space are created. Larger columns derive into space instead of merely structure, and sequences of columns which is another form of breathing wall , bringing light and space.

Functional Possibilities / Diameter and Composition The points on the two-dimensional plane correspond to a vertical cylindrical component in my building system. The components in the space various in size and arrangements, and the cylinder becomes a porous wall.

When a small-scale cylinder is used as a structural component in the usual sense, a medium-sized cylinder is given some furniture function by me, while a larger-sized cylinder becomes the space itself and provides a new layer for the whole system —— A space.

In addition, when the interface of each cylinder is given a different expression, the cylinder not only encloses the space but also becomes a member for guiding the light. At the same time the expression on the cylinder is also in the cylinder and in the cylinder through the streamline, people see through or not brought more possibilities.

Theatrical Sacredness through Taming the Nature Architecture Design - The Sensory Field of the Native Environment Team member: Yifan Deng, Junyi Ding Team contribution: Prelimiary Design, Site Investigating, Digital modeling, Most Original Rendering Instructor: Wendy Teo

The subtle relationship of Nature and human-made nature has always been a topic.

The Project is about imitating nature and reproduce the sensory field from the antelope valley. We thought about the material property of the interface. The walls are designed not solid, simulating the soil property on the site, is sensitive to nature and can be eroded by the water flow. The river is designed to be able to flow through the project so the underground space made by human will be filled with sediment, so the human-made space will be given back to nature. The design is not only about the spacial experience for visitors but also a conversation about man-made environment and nature. The material of the wall undertakes the medium of the dialogue. The material becomes narrative, tells the story of the river ebb and flow.

Sectional structure design Ditches are designed on the side of the passageway to guide water and sediment downstream. There is a concrete layer on the outside of the rammed earth wall. The main motor equipment and the main pipe is also fixed here. The sprinkler pipe is buried inside the rammed earth wall, allowing the wall to be slowly washed and deformed over time by the jet of water.

Skating Statium Design Architecture Design - Urban relationship, Light and Structure Individual Work Instructor:Yimin Sun Located on the northern side of the Beijing Olympic Center, the venue is adjacent to a number of industrial parks, urban green areas and other stadiums. The purpose of the design is to make the venue not too strong but to become a connector into the logic of the site, the communication of green spaces, residential areas and large-scale buildings. At the same time in the form of intent to reflect the characteristics of the curve of the ice skating movement charm.

B

A - The warm-up site differs from the main ice surface in terms of the appropriate span of the structure.

B - The two ice surfaces are brought together and the two structures are merged and graded on a scale.

C - The integrated angle is adjusted so the building's scale has been reduced, taking up less space.

And there are more possibilities in morphology arrangement.

The New Era Theremin Installation - Interactive Arranger Projection Mapping Team member: Yifan Deng, Mengyu Wu, Xianfan Yang, Xinyu Yan Team contribution - Visual Programming, Leap Motion Introducing, Construction, Graphic&Animation Design, Gesture Design, Video Editing Instructor: Gang Song Since we are now entering a Post-digital age, material that makes up space can also be things with no entity property, such as the light. The installation of an interactive arranger shown in my portfolio is a small attempt to the digitally augmented environment. The installation provides a real-time interactive environment that is responsive to specific human movements, can affect the pattern and music of the environment. With or without the installation, the property of the space is altered from a monotonous room to an interactive one, the light is the medium and the trigger of the space.
