Hotel Design A place: home = hotel Background This is a project by East Lake the largest lake in Wuhan
China Goal To design a hotel along a lake Process Home is a place where you stay for long periods of time
However a hotel is a place where you have to stay for a short while I studied ways to combine homes and
hotels together in this project I used the idea of openings and enclosures to form private spaces like in the
home Result I created a hotel with private gardens My hotel has intricate spaces for gardens to share the
space with the public I learned how to arrange the enclosures and the openings to make a public space with
the feeling of a home Site Area 133494 sq. ft Gross Building Area 46747 sq. ft Overall Floorage: 117552
sq. ft Plot Ratio2.51 Because the site is close to a university and a lake the first floor of the hotel is designed
as a business area These red shades present the arrangement of the business area Goal This is a project for
architecture students to design a structure to maintain the thermal balance of the design hall I have aProcess
a serious study of the local environment I decided to use double skin louver windows to maintain the thermal
balance of the building Result I learned how to do detailed construction design Goal My purpose was to bring
new ideas about how to live in a safe pleasant well- gardened place in the middle of the cold concrete of a
city Process After a serious study of the situation of the site I decided to use the idea of clustering gardens
which means using buildings to close off areas of garden, thereby separating this residential community
from the city Result As the result of clustering gardens, four gardens were formed by the surrounding high-
rise buildings I also learned how to create a safe and quiet place through the arrangement of the buildings
and the circulation of traffic around the buildings Background Zigui is an ancient town hiding in the Three
Gorges Due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam the water level rose from the original river level
to the top of the surrounding mountain flooding the city Thus the government needed to re- construct Zigui
in a new location My task was to learn the differences between New Zigui and the old pre-1998 Zigui Old
Zigui is located in the north bank of Changjiang River The old town occupied a land area of 1 km2 (0.39
sq mi = 10,763,910 sq. ft.) with 15,000 residents Overall Old Zigui was relatively small and crowded There
were only four streets in the old town New Zigui is the first town of the Three Gorges Dam, situated on
the south bank of Changjiang River Design principle What we call new rural buildings should be those that
emphasize infrastructure construction and village rectification for the purpose of improving people’s lives
and updating the living environment of the rural people. This will allow them to not only experience the
perceivable changes brought to their lives by the construction of socialist new rural areas, but also transform
their way of life and thereby improve the development environment. To achieve this, it is essential that our
designs address all possible aspects, utilize all conditions available and provide the most suitable proposal for
the project. My design was performed under the following principles Make full use of local traditional villages
and their building language to reflect traditional elements, while accommodating people’s production and
life in the modern world Provide sufficient public space for outdoor activities Incorporate a stylish business

Representative Community PlanningSenior Project
This is a community designed in Xianning City, China, which incorporates with new buildings emphasizing
infrastructure construction and community rectification in the city to improve life quality of residents by
updating their living environments.
My design incorporated Anhui-style buildings, which I figure out the characteristics of the local dwellings.
Additionally, the construction materials for such style are easy to obtain locally. Furthermore, in my eyes, the
white walls, indigo tiles, and horsehead frontons of the Anhui style buildings are signs of tradition synthesizing
natural landscapes and cultural extracts.
I tried to integrate water, humans, and architecture together and to allocate all functional subsections as a
whole throughout the planed site in Xianning, China. The small river running across the site was the central
development belt, which was used to establish a space featuring human-water interaction.

Planning characteristics
Primary buildings are arranged in a south-north orientation. The internal area
of the community is divided into an east part and a west part by a river. The
north most branch of the river divides the landform into a unique triangle
land. The triangle land and the river are part of the most important factors
influencing on my design. A memorial temple is placed in this triangle land,
and its axis is used as the main south-north axis to echo the entrance plaza.

External Secondary Road
Circulation
The whole street system in the south provides the primary connections to
the city. A ring main road circles round the entire community. Paths run
throughout the south-north axis. Bridges are placed at intervals on the river to
connect to paths on both banks. External secondary roads connect commercial
areas and public areas to the main road while internal secondary roads link
residential areas and also lead to the main road and external secondary roads.

Landscape
To create an ecological environment, I preserve the existing ecological one
and maintain a natural landscape by minimizing both artificial constructions
and destructions. Moreover, I apply energy-saving equipment and solar-energy
roofs to all the buildings in the community.
To create a human-friendly environment, on the other hand, I follow human
behavior theories and arrange diverse facilities in the landscape nodes fitting
with the dimension of human.

Hut designArchitecture Drawing Class
Hut design was based on a real site which was located in one of three choices
(next page “Site”) in a national park of Minnesota. The park office was
planning to build some small and attractive huts to offer an overnight stay for
five to ten people during their trips.

Home is a place where you will stay for long periods of time. However, a hotel is a place where you have to stay for a
short while. I studied some ways to combine both home and hotel spaces together in this project. I used the idea of
openings and enclosures to form private spaces similar to home.

Final Model
This is a project for architecture students to design a structure to maintain the thermal balance of the design hall. After a
serious study on the local environment, I decided to use double-skin louver windows to maintain the thermal balance of the
building.

New Zigui is the first city of the
Three Gorges Dam, situated on the
south bank of Changjing River. New
Zigui has an estimated population of
84,873. New Zigui covers about 206
km2 (80 sq. mi.)
Old Zigui is located on the north
bank of Changjiang River. The old
tiny city occupied a land area of
1 km2 (0.39 sq. mi.) with 15,000
residents. Overall, Old Zigui was
relatively small and crowded. There
were only four streets in the old city.
Zigui is an ancient small city hiding in the world's renowned Three Gorges of Changjiang River. Due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the water level rose from
the original river level to the top of the surrounding mountains, flooding the city of Zigui. Thus the government needed to re-construct Zigui in a new location.
Supported by the Metropolitan Design Center Undergraduate Fellowship I carried out original and innovative research on the urban planning of re-settling city - Zigui. I did
various on-the-site investigations and detailed studies. I designed research questionnaire and collected a set of first-hand data in real settings. Through comparisons between
the old and new Zigui I studied the relationships and interactions between urban planning and people’s life styles. Based on my studies, the new Zigui is expanding and
developing (as partly illustrated on page 14 and 15) rather than declining, which denies the previous well-known theoretical hypothesis. My proposal for Zigui’s future urban
planning was presented and favored by Zigui’s government authority.
