A house, a tree, they all can be the protector and shelter of human beings. But what is the difference of normal house and a tree. A tree is a living thing, it has leaves, they can change colors. A tree is natural structure, it has great spiral system created by the nature. A tree is a place where lights shadow weather and creatures can all stop by.

What if a house is not only a simple shelter, but can give you all the sense and feeling that a tree brings to you. The house can accept rain water, even let it go inside building, the house need you to climb up step by step with spiral stairs, the house can guide the light and wind go through and also provide the view from standing on the top of the tree.

The project basically building a new train station serve the high speed railway. But at the mean time allow the local train come through. Both Old train staion and New one are working at the same time. The new train station will be a mirror figure of the old one reference to the Collage Avenue and there is a bridge link them together. No matter from functional or locational direction, the whole transaportation system will work together, like a Linkage machine.

Roof panels are precast. In 4 different thickness. But while installing them on the building, all of them will be put in random positions.

At this part of roof, between the columns, there are precast concrete square tubes which compose to the system of “grating”.It can help absorb light and control the way to bring it down to the platform.

Because the most part of structure will lean to a same direction which will cause the structure weak points collaps.So use the different layer of same structure, but let them pull each other, and take advantage of the topography, the most left side structure will pull the middle part. The middle group wil puul the structure on the top of the railways. By this way can make the structure balance. But at the part dosent connect to the mean part of station. Use cables on one side to adjust strength of structure.

The highline is the green area,It based on old light train line,create a space can let people both reach nature and city.

When trying to make a museum near the highline, the same level in the museum will merge the artwith nature together, it is like a bud

High line will send people into thisnew space, people will enjoy art andenjoy this space. They will love theway how the building lead them fromnature coming through to the art world.And also will bring them back.

This place will be called museum.It is very potential, highly concentratedand will be a great part of highline systerm.

The Concept of the Rebirth Musem evolves from the actual regeneration of plants. Diagrams illustrate the growth of a flower from bud to fruit. Assuming the highline is a plant, the new space is extended along the coast of New York. The highline it self is a green space for people to enjoy their time and relaxation. When trying to build a museum near the highline, the most important thing is to keep the highline’s own character and invovle the structure. In other words, the museum emulates the highline. This allows communication between people and nature, art, and architecture.

Interior Circulation (inside gallery)

Outside Circulation

Restaurant and cafe

The most important structural element in the museum, is the ramp. The ramp allows the highline to extend into the struture and make a connection with the galleries. The ramp consists of two connections: a connection that is visible from the outside and another connection, invisible from the outside, with the inside. The ramp outside is for the structural exhibit, and the ramp inside is for the art galleries.

The South Mountains are an ancient and deeply eroded mountain range in western North Carolina. They are an isolated remnant of the much larger Appalachian Mountains to the west, and are separated from the Appalachians by the Catawba River valley. Because the site is on the higher part of asheville, the shape of roof can be merged in to the skyline of whole asheville. Let people can reach the senseof mountain.

The project is about making avoid inside a box and try to use this form to create a interior space as long as the exterior surfacerepresents a building. The project also takes consider about the skin of the box and create the whole structure through both digital and physical modeling way.
