U r b a n H U BThis project is the design of a COMMERCE and OFFICE COMPLEX, which aim at solving the CONFLICT

of SPACE. The HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION above links the dynamic axis of Guangzhou city on the

south and north sides, and the breaking of the height conflict on the east and west sides is the design

idea of this project, which acts as the URBAN HUB. The VERITICAL DIRECTION aim at dealing with

the seperation among the stories of the traditional high-rise buildings, with the purpose of breaking

through the separation.

As a variety of areas around the world, including China, have been severely

strucken by catastrophes, a fresh design concept POST-DISASTER

TEMPORORY SHELTER has captured our attention. Although

with the emergency of new mater ial and renovation

technology, temporary shelters can be readily built

and better equipped, another key role of such

shelters as PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT to

vicims has long been neglected.

Thus, this dessign is aiming to construct

shelters with a sense of HOME for the

victims and therefore ease them

psychologically.Focusing on frequent

earthquakes hitting China recently,

we combine TOPOLOGIC TECHNIQUE

The Application of Topology

The Spatial Topological Relat ion

Then Topology was int roduced to the

Space Analysis. All space with the same

properties can be applied by analogy.

Step Four :

Single cour tyard: based on t radit ional Chinese courtyard, emphasizing on shared space of each household, creating the transition between outdoor shared space and indoor shared space

Organic courtyard: all single building will be topologized, and then turns into several spatial points. It will combine with different topological s t ructures to make la rger courtyard based on the small courtyard,

Hea r t - cent re set t lements : the pub l ic buildings are located in the center of the settlement, equipped with large square, offering centrality and condensation point for temporary residence.

The dispersion of settlement: centers on the public buildings and squares, spreading outside and providing beneficial footholds.

The Comparison Made by the Distr ibut ion

The Lins of Wu-feng Residential settlements in Neolithic Age

Artificers Record: when artificers built their city, the c i ty was a square within its 9 miles. There were three doors at the gate of city. The streets w e r e d i v i d e d i n t o 9 crosses and their length was wide enough for 9 carriages to run side by side.

L E A V E ’ S R H Y T H MThe design of residence has a close relation with leaves by observation, so we try to use LEAVE as the

design theme and use the method of bionics to narrow the distance between HUMAN and NATURE. It is

also a way to give RHYTHM to the leaves and create vitality and fun for the relation of human and nature.
