The projects selected in this portfolio recorded my thinking of the problems that I met during my architecture design and survey in my bachelor degree study, my master degree study, and my gradual transition on ideas, creation and expression. In China, especially in Shanghai, which has large amounts of historical blocks and buildings, exploitation happens every day, and how to coordinate the conservation with exploitation is the most important question that our architects should consider. I tried to find the balance between conservation and exploitation, tradition and innovation, reality and ideality when I worked on my studio projects during these years of architecture study. And I hope to show it in this portfolio of mine.

Tradition Commercial

The site of the shopping street was in a campus of Fujian province in the southeast of China. Nowadays the life on Chinese campus has become more complex and college students have taken a large percentage of consumers. How to make it convenient for college students’ shopping or how to make them interested in consuming was the main point of this design. From our survey before this design we found that there were some special characters that could establish this region such as the roof and some other traditional forms (which were called QiLou and GuoJieLou in Chinese). So we just decided to use “Legacies of Tradition” as our concept. And we plan to combine these traditional signals with our design in order to create the traditional environment in this shopping street.

The site was next to the student dormitories and there was a hill on the north of the site and to the south there were teaching buildings, canteens and playgrounds, which became the guide of our facades design. To the north we decided to divide the facades in order to make the consumers in the street would enjoy the beautiful sights of the green hill at any time, and to the south we used continuous facades, just left two or three entrances to the street.

We arranged the different function areas according to our survey about the needs of college students and restaurants, book store, clothes shops are the three main parts that made up the shopping street. We decided the percentage of these different commercial types. We didn’t want to design a street that would easily see through so we make several corners in the street with the hope that to make the street more interesting, and how to make good sights on these corners was an another point of this design.

The creation of the QiLou and GuoJieLou were important to the whole design. The spaces under the QiLou and GuoJieLou were the transition between the private spaces and public spaces, or between the indoor spaces and the outdoor spaces, which would be comfortable for people to stay. In order to create the similar atmosphere, we just put almost all the restaurants under QiLou and GuoJieLou, and arranged tables and chairs outdoor.

Roof was another character that we focused on. And because of the new technologies of structure we examined several new arrangement of the traditional roofs. We tried several ways on how to make holes on these roofs and found reasons for each way. All these holes made the atmosphere of the street a little different and at the same time the street became interesting.

instructor: Zhang Li

The site was in south China and we were asked to select one place freely on the hill given to us as our site of this building. In my opinion, a sports club in such environment was a place embodying natural beauty and sports energy in space, so I chose “Extension VS Mixture” as my concept in order to achieve my purpose on creat ing a place where people could relax themselves both by taking exercises and enjoying the natural beauty. I hoped my design would be the extension of the hill without ruining the wonderful landscape.

In China, because we are on the Northern Hemisphere, south and east are the best directions to receive sunshine. At the same time, in order to use the wind that was caused by this special terrain, I chose the place that lean against the hill on the northwest of the building, so most of the building would face southeast. The lake was another point that I considered, I wished that my design would combine the hill and the lake so that visitors here would enjoy the natural beauty of the hill and the lake at the same time 1918

A principle that I used when I arranged the function spaces of the building was that I put those rooms with strenuous sports on lower floors and the rooms needed silence on upper floors. While considering the construction of the club, I mixed beams and columns with bearing wall, which was also a character of this club.

I designed lots of outdoor terraces for visitors’ actions and enjoyment of the landscape. It was hard to divide the actions outdoor from actions indoor in this design, so in order to make it convenient for visitors to travel between different floors, I considered the design of circulation outdoor the same important as the design of circulation indoor. 2120

SunshineInduced VentilationSelf-ventilation

Awning DesignThere was a lot of sunshine in south China and when it was in the day time, especially in summer, how to keep out of direct sunlight and how to avoid too much sunshine was one of the most important considerations in the design of environment control. I made the awnings extend a certain length out of the walls in order to achieve this goal and to make sure the rooms would get enough sunlight.

self-ventilationMost of the rooms of this club faced to the direction of summer prevailing wind, and how to use this kind of natural energy well to achieve the purpose of energy saving was another consideration in environment control design. A special ventilation component was fixed to the windows. Wind would go from the bottom into the rooms, be heated by the solar energy, go up, and then go out of the rooms to realize self-ventilation.

induced ventilationThe depth of the building perpendicular to the hillside was too big for wind to reach by self-ventilation only. So we needed induced ventilation here to realize natural ventilation on the whole scale. I used staircase to match the goal of induced ventilation. The staircase was put almost in the middle of the building to induce wind from the windows of rooms to corridors.

Design of views was an important part in this project. I tried to relate views to activity intensity in order to arrange the windows on the elevation. In my opinion, visitors taking activities as Ping-Pong and Bowling may not need too much views to landscape and those visitors who were drinking or talking may take much time enjoying the natural beauty. So I designed the elevations according to the tables above showing the relationship between activity intensity and field of views. 2524

figure ground relationship

The site was in historical residential blocks in the city of Shanghai where brick walls were the main bracing structure of the houses. We were asked to remove any three houses and put our building on the site of the them. It was almost the center of the city and exploitation of the new buildings and conservation of the old residential houses were always like a pair of contradiction. It was a good chance for us to learn how to make architecture design in a large scale of background, like in a city, and from which point we could coordinate the contradiction. From the picture of this site we found that the roofs of the houses made up the unique texture of the city and my design began with the continuation of this rhythm.

Page 16: Portfolio of Zheng Wang

site-plan

The continuation of the west facades, the pediments, the windows and the domers make up the features of these historical residential houses. And such forms of residential areas are called ShiKuMen in Chinese, in which there would be several families in one building. These houses' age are more than half a century. The situations there are not suitable for living and neither for the arrangement of the functions of the modern buildings. Residents here want to move out, but they still have the love complex with the old houses. It seems paradoxical. My concept was to combine the new parts of my museum with the traditional forms and structures of the old buildings. The first step was to merge my building’s facades into these characteristic facades.

Coordination to the new

I divided the building into two parts; one was the new one that was mainly for the exhibition rooms and offices, the other one was the remaining of the old houses which was only for the exhibition rooms. The museum was the combination of these two parts. There was also a yard surounded by other parts of the building like the traditional formation of Chinese houses, which was for outdoor exhibition, and for the outdoor actions of the residents in these blocks at the same time.

The rhythm of the interspaces was like “old-new-old-new-old”, in which the new part had two-floor high exhibition rooms while the old had only one floor high rooms. Both were connected by the corridor that in which visitors could see the yard and the out spaces.

Tile roofs with domers just leave for the remaining parts, and concrete roofs for the new parts.

Concrete columns and beams are the main bracing stuctures of the building, tripod beams are specially for the remaining tile roofs.

Remaining walls, which were mainly built by sticks, with small windows on them.

New parts of the museum, with concrete walls, slabs and face brick.

It was impossible to divide spaces with the whole old structures, and I had to remove some of the old walls and build some concrete columns and beams as the new parts. Tripod beams were used in order to enforce the tile roofs in case the destroy of the roofs because of the removing of the old walls. The concrete façades also established the new parts of the museum.

Landscape

The site of the high-rise hotel was almost on the edge of the city where the heights of the buildings around were most under 50m and what we were going to design was nearly 100m high, which means that this hotel would become the landmark of this block in a large scale area and the view of the visitors in the hotel would reach far. In view of that there was a historical stadium and residential blocks near the site, to the north of the site it was a greenbelt and to the south it was a business center, I took the concept of “Windows of The City”, which means not only that visitors could see far out of the building, but also means that the hotel established the block.

How to arrange the façades of the building and how to distinguish different parts of the tower were important in expressing my concept. In this phase I just decided to choose which kind of facades by making models by hand, and finally I chose to use glazed curtain walls. 4140

Page 24: Portfolio of Zheng Wang

The concept of “Windows of The City” was also used to design the sights in the annex. An inner yard was created almost in the center of the annex, which would become the focus—visitors coming to the hotel would enjoy the sights of the yard from every direction except the north. Considering that some visitors just came to have a meeting or have a meal without going onto the tower, no matter whether they were waiting to register, drinking coffee, or they were talking by the tables , waiting for the elevators. The north of the yard faced to the greenbelt on the north of the site directly, that made the visitors could feel the “Windows of The City” in the annex too.

The final design was about urban design, and the site was in Nantong, Jiangsu province, China. We were asked to design the commercial center in Nantong technical economic area. This is an actual project which is under construction. What's more, considering architecture problems in urban scale is crucial to architects. Thus, taking this project as academic studio would make sense in preparing for architecture practice in the future.In this design, we took "unity" as our principle, which meaned that we wanted to merge the site into the context of the city instead of making the site as a lonely island. We used "integration" as our concept and created several methods in order to connect the site with the surrounding on different layers. At the same time, we introduced a big lake and super high-rise buildings into our site with the purpose to make a continuation of the present urban context. What's more, we made detailed guidelines for this urban design. In the final review of this studio, our project was praised as "with high operability and practicality", and graded A.

Zone A: Office and HotelThis zone works as the gate of the whole site, thus we designed high-rise buildings in order to reinforce the axis and guide those people coming to this commercial area

Zone D: Retail and FoodThese areas are next to the center lake and having the best view, so we disigned retail and food with interesting spaces. In order not to hindle the view to the lake, these buildings are not tall.

Zone E: Mall and Hign-riseThis area works as the end of the urban axis and urban landscape, so it is a crucial area. We put the super mall and super hign-rise buildings here hoping to make it as the function center and landscape center.

Zone F: Office and RecreationAccording to the analysis of the distribution of the programs around, we decided to put office center and recreations here as the supplement to the mall and super high-rise buildings next to them.

Zone B: Residential BuildingsThis zone is next to the college on the east. Considering that students and faculty need condominiums, we designed this residential buildings.

Zone C: SupermarketsThis area is on the northwest corner of the site. Considering the height of the buildings around, these supermarkets were decided 4-floor and serving people living around.

The site of this studio project was in Ithaca, New York. The original building was a factory which produced guns. Now the factory is out of use, and it is going to be transformed into an art school. Including the normal programs in every school like class rooms, offices and library, some other infrastructures such as gym, dining hall and apartments for both students and faculty need to be arranged in these histroical buildings.The key point of this project is a combination of preservation and reconstruction. I chose "horizontal extension and vertical design" as my concept. "Horizontal extension" concerns with a natural environment both around and in the building, and "vertical design" concerns with the use of vertical spaces to create public spaces and link different floors of the building.
