THEORETICAL RESEARCH
In this site, West Nanjing Road works like the
edge from traditional Shanghai and modern
Shanghai. The whole project begin with the
functional analysis about West Nanjing Road and
zoom into the historical development in Jing’an
Villa. It is a typical example about gentrification
which is quiet significant issue of urbanism.
Mundane is a synonyms for everyday. Focus on
human everyday activities in this site, and choose
some have the creative relationship with space.
Paying additional attention to some creative
situations that the way space has been used is
totally different from designer’s intension.

Culture & Entertainment
West Nanjing Road is one of the most flourishing road in center
Shanghai. Several large shopping mall disturbed at the both sides of
West Nanjing Road, such as Jing’an Kerry Center, Meilong Town and
People Square, the most famous one. Meanwhile, culture and
entertainment architecture take the equal weight in West Nanjing Road.
Especially Jing’an Temple, a landmark in this district. However, dwelling
still takes the largest proportion in this area, and majority of them are
typically Shanghai Style house or apartments. Our site has been
composed by three different residential area, including Jing’an Villa, a
historical protected residential building.

As the surrounding dose not match with the residents life style, the people lived here

or later. At that moment, the traditional Shanghainess residencial area will not existing
any more, even if all those buildings are well protected. House is just like the
container, human’s activities make it unique.

Help the residencial area to touch the flourish outside. Create some public

CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT
Exploring the unique relationship between human activities
and space and transform it into an radical architectural
language is my understanding about creativity. Given that the
most attractive activity in this site is cultivation, the space I am
looking for is relevant with this activity. Balcony, platform, and
courtyard are the place where cultivation activity happens, and
the unique character is extension, which has been transform
into ‘additional & subtractive’ architectural language.

Mass model development should based on the existing
context, public space, inside or outside, and the attractive
activity. To emphasis the cultivation activity, a well-designed
wood element has been evolved from solid space in mass
model and adjust on both horizontal and vertical dimension.

EXPLORATION OF EXISTING ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE
Cultivation has been recognized as the most
interesting activity in this site, which could
represente the poetic life attitude. The
relationshipe between cultivation and existing
space should be figure out. A series of
exploration concept models have been made to
express the radical space.

Alleys are linear narrow space which
always cross with each other, and the
nodes as the communication point is
very important space in this site.
The majority of space here are
multifunctional space, and the activities
are overlap with each other. Perhaps,
floding is the characteristic of space.
As Shanghai is a high density modern
city, even in those residencial area,
many small piecemeal space have been
used in a creative way.
Because of the overlap of activities, the
space is not static, human activities help
the space flowing.
At the moment, all the alleys are extend
horizontally, it also has the potensial to
growing up vertically.

Observeing form the existing volumn,

spacial characteristic -- extension.
Transform the ‘additional’ and ‘subtractive’ architectural language into mass
model. Consider about volumn dimension, accessbility and circulation.
Connect West Nanjing Road, Jing’an Villa and Anle Residencial area
together.

Adjust solid and void of the mass model to make the

WOOD ELEMENTS DEVELOPMENT
[ Wood Element Development 1]
Transform all the void space in the mass model in to the
space covered by wood panel. Mainly focus on the
horizontal development.

[ Wood Element Development 2]
The curved angle is designed for flexbility. The wood
elements are designed in both vertical and horizontal
directions.

TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
To keep the purity of the modern build as well as
the complexity in mass model, a wood element
has been installed into this project. It keep the
horizontal and vertical continuity of space without
interrupt the flowing activities.
The ground and first floor of northwest is a flower
shop, and the southwest is a coffee shop. Library
is located at ground and first floor of east. Second
and third floor are designed as office space
especial some studio relevant with poetry.

FINALIZATION VIEWS
Although the architecture style of this modern
building with light concrete wall and glass is
different from the existing context with red brick, it
still integrate with the surrounding quiet well rely
on the wood element. The public space and poetic
life attitude this project creates are more important
than appearance similarity.
Both outside views and inside views are given to
prove the success of combine poetry with wood
element.
