Site Analysis
The site is also set on the main axis of the campus.
site
living & service facilities
teaching zone
research & practice zone
training facilities
sports field
The site is located at a central area, adjacent
to living & service facilities, teaching zone,
research & practice zone, sports field and
training facilities. In this design proposal, it is
critical to connect all the functions.
China
a developing country has a population of 1.3 billion,
including 23-million college students
ShanXi
a province located in central region, rich in ancient
architectures and history, supported by heavy ind-
-ustrial economy
TaiYuan
capital of ShanXi province, with a history of 2500
years, has a population of 4 millions
College Town
College Town is located in suburban area of Taiyuan city, 32.8 km
from metropolitan area, and adjacent to a satelite city Yuci. Original
land use of this area was farmland, and the college town construct-
ion started shortly after 6-month planning without fully resolving
the issues.
Site Surrounding Conditions
The site and its immediate surroundings are not equipped with basic
infrastrctures and far away from city grid. Large area of derserted la-
-nd can be seen when approaching to the campus. Limited social inte-
raction is provided for the students and isolated environment interfere
with students’learning development.
Based on the site analysis and existing campus
facilities, as a designer I would like to increase
percentage of flexible function area such as
leisure and exhibition, in addition to improve
basic campus functions. During the research &
design process, we have proven our ideas and
seen other surprising potentials in this project!

2. “Ideal”college life
China“reality”real pictures of college life
Based on our preliminery research on students life among 445 students of more than 10 different majors
from 18 different universities, we found that students’hobbyies, leisure life and career preferences remain
their “comfort zone”. Most of the students are afraid ofbeing explorers and facing new challenges.
In China, there are approximately 8 millions students enter college every year,
and 90% will graduate. However, a significant amount of students cannot be
employed. 12-year primary education prior to college does not neccessary
prepare the students pursue higher goals in their life. They are trained in a way
that they become lack of free thinking and creativity.What do we do in college？
What prevent us persue our dreams？
Be yourself!
These are what we expect in College？
Chaotic and dingy dorm, boring classes, mundane after school campus life,
pressures from employment after graduation. These reflect real desperate
college life in current situation.
What can we do as designers to motivate students
to be true to themselves and enhance communication
among different groups? How can we provide students
with ‘free and flexible space’to accommodate their
free thinking and respect characteristics of each student?

Axis adjustment
Four major programs are aligned, theater is
placed at the center because it does not require
natural lighting. As a result, building is divided
into three big boxes, and lacking connection
among them.
1. Theater is elevated to free the space below, and
pushed towards north to replace library zone.
2. Auditorium is elevated and connected with outdoor
plaza by great stairs. This configuration will accommo-
date circulation need for a large number of crowds.
3. Boxes are broken down to allow better natural
lighting
Conference zone consists with a
large room of 200 sqm, a small
room of 100 sqm, and other
service. There is no height limit,
but entry should be easily
accessed.
Four auditoriums (180 sqm each)
require high ceilings and easily
access.
Theater should have a capacity of 1500. A
basic play stage is required, and sophisti-
cated stage equipment is not neccessary.
Entries and exits should accommodate
large volume flow of visitors.
Total library program area is
about 7000 sqm. Spatial configu-
ration can be flexible. No height
limit. Location is essential.
Hierarchy of height in the building complex is created in
consistent with major axis. As a result, theater replaces part
of the auditorium zone. Courtyard is inserted to function as a
light well for the auditorium as well as emergency evacuation
zone.
Form is further refined to reduce the massive impres-
sion of the building. Skylight and corridors are created.
Terrace garden provides visitors with independent circulation for different programs.

[PROBLEM] The site of this
proposed ferry terminal locates at the
bank of the Yellow River in Shanxi
Province, China. It is adjacent to a
historical town Qikou. This region was
prosperous as part of the old river
transportation network. In modern
time, new transportation modes
gradually substitute the river,
therefore old ferry port has been
abandoned, and town Qikou is falling
as a consequence. The ultimate goal
of designing a ferry terminal is to
vitalize local economy and preserve
local culture. We chose ‘anchor’ as a
design motif in this competition
project. Metaphorically, this ferry
terminal acts like a carrier that is able
to float and drift, but anchored with
the local surrounding. It connects the
locals and the Yellow River as a
messenger, and it communicates the
old and new as an explorer.

12. 1、Center
Project site is located at the junction
of old town and new district of Runc-
heng. During the realization process,
original strong connections among
villages are torn, and damage from
modernisation is irreversible.
2、Runcheng Village
In history, Runchen was a properous Village
with many wealthy merchants. During late
Ming Dynasty,three citadels were built to p-
revent invasion. In 2010, Runcheng was no-
minated as a Historical Town of China.
3、Diji Town
Of 1000-year history, transformed from an original defense
town to an important trading node. Original iant walls and
narrow streets still exist nowaday. As others in northern reg-
ion of China, local residents have typical tough character
and unique life style.
4、Qingshui
Qing River nurtures many generations
of villages on both banks. Tranquil and
beautiful nature is rare in the region.
The transportation function of Qing river
gradually dimished since trading declined.
5、Runcheng Park
The project site is located in Runcheng Park, which is a main
tourist attraction. It will be an ideal location for connecting
visitors with locals, and inviting recreational activities into
natural environment.
3、Visual Corridor
According to Chinese Fengshui conpet, Runcheng Park is an ideal site, because it is ba-
cking of moutains and facing water. It is set on the connection line between Huilong and W-
enchang pavilions, and becomes part of a visual corridor implying invisible contact between
religion and mundane.
China：
With an increasing tendency, current urban poplutation is 51.27%, 1.32% increase since last year.
Shanxi Province：
Of 3000-year history, located near Yellow River, becomes an important and strategic
region for development in central China.
Yangcheng Town：
Located in moutain area in southeastern Shanxi, and to the west of Qing River. It was
founded more than 2000 years ago, and it is famous for its rich natural resources and
talented people.
Based on preliminary analysis, redland tour route and blue water route are created for visitors and local residents.
Different groups people, different life styles are designed to interact here in the system. Life itself is a dynamic exhibition.
Exhibition Center is imbedded along eastern route and turns into another attraction destination. It serves as a place for
communitcation and exhibition.

Courtyard：soul of Chinese traditional architecture
A very important element in veryday life. Regardless of building types,
courtyard is essential space for living and socail. In additionto simple
orthogonal form of courtyard, natural and mand made elements such
as plants, fish pond, pavilion, loggia are imbedded in the design.

14. Hard paving on the square for occational dancing event and parking Exterior exhibition area can tranform into an outdoor play stage;
steps around sunken garden provides adequate seatings for people.
It becomes a gathering center for the village.
2、Arch door at the bottom of view tower provide
the visitor with a view deep through the space
below skywalk.
3、Arch door, skywalk, loggia, exhibition hall
and sunken garden, all these elements create
a tranquil and friendly environment.
1、Skywalk is an essential element
connetcing all the major programs.
Visitors can enjoy continuous views
while walking along the skywalk.
4、Planning exhibition hall is located under
a large canopy roof. The roof is constructed
in traditional method with timbers and parti-
ally cladded with glass.
Space anaylsis
5、Part of the loggia is immediately facing a
pond, it provides another picturesque view of
old town cross the pond.
15. 1、Because Runcheng Town was founded
near Qing River, local residents are emot-
ionally attached to water. In order reflect
water culture, an outdoor pond is created
immediately next to the building.
2、To create a more flexible multi-
functional space, city model area
can be sunken and hidden in the
floor.

3、Glass doors along loggia can be opened
and become a semi-outdoor space in summer
time.
4、A cafe is located at the end of the loggia,
it is a small relaxing place for gathering and
chatting.
5、Building complex extends into the lake, provides locals and
visitors with a large platform for fishingand boat waiting area.
This is what we expect in Runcheng Urban Exhibition Center. We hope this
design will become a reflection of what a good architecture can do in the
process of urban renewal for historical town.

MATERIAL_ALUMINUM
Lightweight, Strong & Infinitely Recyclable
Aluminium recycling benefits present and future generations by
conserving energy and other natural resources. It requires up to 95%
less energy to recycle aluminium than to produce primary metal and
thereby avoids corresponding emissions, including greenhouse gases.
For most aluminium products, the metal is not actually consumed
during the product's lifetime, but simply used, with the potential to be
recycled without any loss of its inherent properties. Therefore, the life
cycle of an aluminium product is not the traditional "cradle-to-grave"
sequence, but rather a renewable "cradle-to-cradle".

25. Today more than 81,000 people
live in greater Downtown Miami -
double the population since
2000.The majority of residents are
young professionals who enjoy the
convenience of an active urban
lifestyle, extensive public transporta-
tion options and exciting cultural and
entertainment offerings.
Downtown consists primarily of
office buildings and residential
buildings. The lack of comprehensive-
ness of high rises here causes low
efficiency use. For example, office
buildings will be abandoned after
people finish their works.
Recent years, condos boom in
downtown, and the prices for existing
condos rising and rental rates reaching
record-setting highs. But the increas-
es of different functions are not
balance, which is not convenient
enough for the people living there.

an inevitable
