The one year academic experiences cultivated my the ability of rational analysis, which makes me think profoundly the

relationship between architecture, the user and surroundings. Moreover, all the projected worked on " Model Thinking", which

means making physical models during the design process and thinking in three dimension.

Besides, I love history from my childhood. It helps me think from different angles and enhance my rational analysis. I usually

attempted to find the historical value from the site and try to establish ideas based on urban context at very beginning of

projects, not by feelings. So, I could benifit form advocating of history as skepticism and logical thinking.

Introduction

Initial research of a renowned public pavilion led to a discovery of its designer’s theoretical and structural intentions for the work. Furthermore, this research would inform a rearticulating of those values into an entirely new design. This two-part project began with the building of Toyo Ito’s 2002 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, The form of which was determined by a simple geometric algorithm of circumscribing squares. By puncturing the resultant pattern and wrapping this concept over and down the four facades, the pavilion gardens Ito’s principle of harvesting natural light.

Introduction

IA decomposition of the 2002 pavilion’s values focuses on its geometric algorithm of expanding and rotating squares. However, the new realization of these ideas considers the introduction of life and engaging the environment. It does so by pushing and pulling the resultant patterns rather than simply puncturing it. Also, this pattern is drawn vertically, allowing the pattern to project through the interior of the building and affect the users’ actions and rests.

Site Plan

Introduction

The site is bounded by the Carnegie Main Library and the Georgia Pacific building with other mid-rise mercantile buildings from the 1920’s and the low scale entrance pavilions for the Marta stop. Based on the site visiting, I found different kinds of people cross the site everyday, such as businessmen, sightseers, pedestrians and homeless people. Therefore, I would like to provide a multifunction space to meed different people's need. The space would be simple and elegant in downtown.

About the Site

The project will call for a small building, which will be a curatorial single-artist Gallery at the Courtyard of the High Museum in Atlanta. The exact location of the intervention will be at the gap in between the edge of the Renzo Piano Wing to the North, and the Restaurant Wine-Tasting Bar to the South.

For the purpose of the exhibit space within the Gallery, the building will house 3 pieces by Artist from a list.

The Artist and Exhibtion in the Gallary

Damien Steven Hirst is an English artist, entrepreneur and art collector. He is the most prominent member of the group known as the Young British Artists , who dominated the art scene in Britain during the 1990s.

Death is a central theme in Hirst's works. He became famous for a series of artworks in which dead animals are preservedin formaldehyde. The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a 14-foot (4.3 m) tiger shark immersed in formaldehyde in a vitrine became the iconic work of British art in the 1990s, and the symbol of Britart worldwide. He has also made "spin paintings," created on a spinning circular surface, and "spot paintings", which are rows of randomly coloured circles created by his assistants.

The Branch Library" A Story from Tress @ Atlanta "


Introduction

The site is more civic in nature as it faces Tech High School, is bounded by a church at the rear and is relatively shielded from the industrial section. It is also more directly connected to single family neighborhoods.

The basic idea came from tress in the site. I would like to keep all of the tress and changed them to be the most important landscape element of my project.
