Looming
Project: High Rise Office Building [Academic]
Project Site: A City in Southern China
Project Duration: 8 weeks
Independent Work
Advisor: Prof. Xiaojian Yu [[email protected]]

The view from street, streetscape is a clear foreground and building become a boring background.
Looking outside from the interior, reduced streetscape become a background, and some streetscapes clearly appear through windows of elevation.
The view from street, streetscape is a clear foreground and people's behaviors in the building become an interesting and abundant context.
The design of the high rise building is easy to neglect the interaction between the outdoor and indoor space. Therefore the transitional space which is used to be a connection between indoor and outdoor is beginning to be used. These three sketches above express the different views from the inside and outside. Design process sketches
2
Different behaviors are distributed at a vertical space in this high-rise building and functions of the building are basing on different characteristic behaviors. Office area is stand-alone relative through divided by floors, and a changeable space runs through the office area and connects with outside. Changing officers' sights about looking at the streetscape aims to strengthen the link between people who work inside and streetscape.
3
This building is covered with a kind of special membrane on elevation to avoid the direct sunlight. The membrane skin has some micropores, and the transmissivity reaches 30 to 40 percents. While as a full membrane skin cannot keep the ventilation well, so a series of opening are opened on the skin.
4
The membrane skin is a curved surface. Every strut's angle is flexible, so the node needs adjustable angle (such as node drawing Pic 1.2.3). Combining two nodes becomes a new node for connecting to 4 struts. Numerous new nodes form a huge and complete structure. The sizes of caves in membrane skin are not fixed, therefore flexible wireropes which connect with strut are suitable for variety caves.

SUBCULTURE
Ken Gelder argued that Subcultures are social, with their own shared conventions, values and rituals, but they can also seem “immersed” or self-absorbed; a feature that distinguishes them from countercultures.
A subculture is a subversion to normalcy. Subcultures can be perceived as negative due to their nature of criticism to the dominant societal standard.
Dick Hebdige
URBAN TRIBES
According to Maffesoli, urban tribes are micro groups of people who share common interests in metropolitan areas. The members of these relatively small groups tend to have similar worldviews, dress styles and behavioral patterns.

Project: Community Reconstruction in Wushipu Community, Xiamen [Academic]
Project Site: Wushipu Community, Xiamen, China
Project Duration: 8 weeks
Collaborator: Huiyi Zheng
Role: Analysis Design, Major designer, Site Survey
Advisor:Junhua He [[email protected]]
Date: 2010.3 (the 2nd semester of 4th academic year)
The culture of urban is never-ending change and improvement. Mechanical high-rise buildings will replace the Wushipu community nowadays. Is Xiamen painting industry leaving Wushipu community? Will Wushipu Community disappear in the high buildings? Will Wushipu Community become a victim under the urban main culture? Should cultural value be retained or annihilated in the site? Metropolises are attracting countless people who cannot experience everything in time and their requirements are over satisfied. Over requirement is lack of requirement, people need a free lifestyle which stresses personal taste and choice. Gathering numbers of artisan-painters in painting industry, keeping traditional life pattern of the village downtown in Xiamen and containing the hereditary factors of subculture. A new relationship forms between Wushipu Community with nearby trading areas, which exists among cities and does not obey the order from modern metropolis.

1.Most painters produce imitation paintings. 2.Art dealers purchase and sell paintings dispersedly. 3.Because rising rents, many painters have left the site to Haicang district to continue working.4.The old district keeps the original urban texture and retain traditional life style. 5.A cultural combination between the oil painting culture and local history.
1.The economical value of the site has risen, so it does not suit for imitation paintings, however it could become a site for creative works and painting salesmen. 2.Different backgrounds is the reason that the site can not copy the model of Dafen Village, Shenzhen and that of Beijing 798 Art Zone. 3.Mixing the painting culture value, humanistic value ,and commercial value.
1.Establishing the outstanding impression of painting village. 2.Spaces for communication between the painters and their fans. 3.The sale center for massive sale. 4.Retaining traditional lifestyle and connecting with creative painting.

NODES OF RECONSTRUCTION
Studio was a storage room that was narrow and dirty. Combining two storage rooms into a comfortable drawing room and decorating the elevation of storage room improves atmosphere of oil painting area.
The kindergarden cannot meet the standard at present. So a new-built kindergarden is planned in the site.
Original ly, bui ldings are too crowd to get enough s u n s h i n e . T h e r e f o r e , removing some old houses to form vegetable gardens makes buildings density more reasonable.
Residents are used to buy their foods at road in front of house, but many stands in the road result in that the road is full of slop and effluvium. Retaining this way of life and improving the environment of road.
A new multi-functional building integrates parking and market.
P e d e s t r i a n s cross the road is dangerous, s o b u i l d i n g an underpass combines with the park.
A tribe of oil painting creation, artists live and draw in the tribe, forming one of art centers in Xiamen. A banding park connects the site, and provides a leisure space for local residents as well as an exhibition area of painting, improving the streetscape and sidewalk of Xinshan Road as while as a buffer zone between the road and village. One end of the banding park is SM shopping mall, the other end connects the oil painting street. The sunken plaza is a joint of streets and park, as a place for various performances, exhibitions and assemblies.

OIL PAINTING STREETSCAPE
Old folk houses retain the Xiamen traditional feeling and combines with the atmosphere of oil painting, becoming an oil painting street where contains residence, creation, gallery, sale.
Every folk house has a special story and scene for itself, so virious shops attract different visitors. Salons are hold under sunshine in afternoon. Drinking a cup of coffee in the balcony of old folks.
Spending your leisure time at here all day long, and slowing down rhythm of life in metro to get pleasure and wonderful.An art alley does not attract plenty of visitors and just is a site gathering a group of cultural animals.

PARK SENERY
Green is the least color in the site. The street landscape is constructed with building materials which come from removed old folk houses. People feel the history through the old materials.
Park connects SM shopping mall and oil painting street, which leads people from noise shopping mall to quiet street to experience something different in Xiamen.

People are always enjoying the temperature (25 centigrades), but some technologies of air condition have resulted in negative effects to the environment. Considering the situation, the design puts forward a concept: water cycle.
Water roof improves the heat preservation in roof, water in containers is the important object to show. The building cooled down via water cycle between the building and the river. In winter, PV power system generates electricity for heating water in containers. Radiant heat transer raises temperature in room. Green technology and clean energy are used in the building. The building elaborates the low-carbon concept by itself.

Building hides in reeds.
Inclusiveness of water draws the outline of building immaculately, misted of shadow draws senery into picture. Inverted reflection in water emerges the images out of reality in vision. People, reeds, light are clear or distorted, showing the sences of illusion for people. Building is served as a foil to reed. The building looks like misty via waggling of reeds. Plants extend from exterior to interior. Reeds are not only landscape also method that divides space and enhances atmosphere. People feel the difference between seasons inside through changes of reeds’colors and shapes.
The average rhizome of Phragmites australis on perennial drought is higher and wider.
The average rhizome of Phragmites australis on hydrocele is shorter and thinner.

Going to roof, visitors’ hydrophilic nature is excited by the water in the roof. Children, parents and lovers are here. Their ankles are overrun with water. To behave playfully among pool. Leaning on rail and gazing into the enchanting scenery of the wetland. Water under feet and eyes connects people and nature.
18
70 percents of Xixi wetland are covered by rivers, pools, lakes, swamps. Water is the soul of Xixi wetland, as well as the soul of low-C science museum. Roaming around the museum, the rippling of water under visitor’s feet, people can observe the water flows, grasses and insects through glasses on the floor. Plants in atrium hide in building, the building veils among plants of wetland, visitors conceal among the greens.

Dreaming in the weave space. Vision has already
covered feeling. Everything becomes the model,
which is full of moralism, control and restriction.
Civilization is another kind of destruction.
Life imitates model of predecessor, Ideology
copies the assumpsit of governor. Weaveing
delusive love in the wilted world.
Life has kept away from the character of nature.
Even laugh is imitation too.
20
Air is breathless for us.Soul dissociates in the weave space until death. Refreshing feels. Exceeding all contracts in the weave world and wiping off thick with dust in the soul. Be far away routines in the secular world. Looking up and seeing a blue sky. Imaging that all of people just live for their dreams. Talking during sleep in your world. As a weaver for space.
21
The construction is made of ropes and PVC pipes, a limited space is constructed by PVC pipes, weaving ropes as a regulation, and forming surfaces to divide space. People walk in it, Seeing and Being Seen, changing our visions and sights, awaking the thinking of dream and living.

Olders feel happiness when they can see children or young men talking or playing here and share young generation's joy.

Entrances are divided by vehicles and walkers. Entrance park connects interior and exterior, which is a transition between street and building. Privacy becomes stronger with the distance far away from entrance. The long flow causes most exterior people stay in some public spaces aiming to provide quiet space for some elders who like peaceful place. Green space
