DESSINE TA VILLE RÊVÉE 
DU 21 NOVEMBRE AU 2 DÉCEMBRE 2012
Exposition des résultats du jeu concours “Dessine ta ville rêvée”, lancé en septembre 2012 par le Pavillon de l’Arsenal et Paris Mômes

Assemblage de bulles habitées, piscines sur les toits, «immeuble tout en un» avec crèche, maison de retraite, salle de sport et logements intégrés, forets suspendues ou dans les nuages, immeuble qui pousse, ascenseurs en plein air, serre végétale, voiles de couleur, invasion de panneaux photovoltaïques, bâtiments articulés ou en lévitation, plus de 700 enfants ont imaginé, inventé, créé, et dessiné l’immeuble de leur rêve.

L’exposition "Dessine ta ville rêvée" présente les résultats de cette opération lancée par Anne Hidalgo, Première adjointe au Maire de Paris chargée de l’urbanisme et de l’architecture et présidente du Pavillon de l’Arsenal. Pour inviter les enfants à imaginer l’immeuble de leur rêve, un dépliant leur proposait d’observer sept immeubles récemment construits à Paris et redessinés spécialement pour l’occasion et ainsi leur permettre de découvrir les usages et les nouvelles formes des architectures qui composent la ville d’aujourd’hui.

Le jury, présidé par Colombe Brossel, Adjointe au Maire de Paris chargée de la vie scolaire et de la réussite éducative et composé notamment des architectes Philippe Lair, Christophe Ouhayoun, Emmanuel Saadi, Richard Scoffier, a retenu sur proposition 50 dessins, puis désigné 16 lauréats et décerné le 1er prix à César, 7 ans. Le jury a également souhaité distinguer trois projets «coups de coeur».

Installée au deuxième étage du Pavillon de l’Arsenal, à proximité du Pavillon des enfants recemment ouvert, cette exposition présente les 714 dessins reçus et offre ainsi de nouveaux regards sur la ville, ses architectures et la manière de l’habiter.
Cette production d’une grande richesse est analysée par Richard Scoffier, architecte, philosophe et professeur des Écoles Nationales Supérieures d’architecture qui révèle une proximité entre les dessins des enfants et des travaux d’architectes illustres et met en perspective les grands thèmes qui s’en dégagent : importance du programme, des volumes, des circulations, travail sur la façade et la texture du bâtiment, utilisation de la toiture, ...
Les architectes Philippe Lair, Christophe Ouhayoun et Emmanuel Saadi, en réalisant à partir d’un dessin d’enfant une perspective réaliste telle qu’ils le feraient pour un vrai concours d’architecture, expriment avec force la grande qualité de ces propositions.

Hudson River Park Trust (HRPT) & Pier 55 Project Fund (P55P)
New York, US

Heatherwick Studio

P55 and HRPT have enlisted some of the finest architectural and artistic talent in the world to design Pier55, including design firm Heatherwick Studio and landscape architect Mathews Nielsen. The pier will be a place of discovery, where visitors can wander and wonder, finding something new around every corner: places to lounge, eat lunch, or just lie in the grass. The park’s undulating topography – replete with lush lawns and pathways – will offer sweeping views of the Manhattan and northern New Jersey skylines for all park-goers and provide a natural viewing area for the new performance space, which will be designed to immediately serve as one of New York City’s premier venues for music, dance, theater and public art, along with community events.

When I did my first research, I also went to a lot of parks because I wanted to understand the relationship between plants and natural light and add different landscapes to my project design.

REINFORCED FOREST

BUS STATION KÖNIGSBRUNN

Ingenieurbüro Warisch

The impressive PVC-coated polyester membrane roof construction of the central bus station in Königsbrunn immediately catches the traveler’s eye. Temme // Obermeier created the roof, which is composed of two wings, one central roof and a smaller arch-supported roof for parked bicycles. Here, PVC-coated polyester membranes were stretched tight over the steel arches to form the top layer; a net fabric was tautened beneath as a bottom layer. This enables the ventilation of the roof, reduces the view onto the steel construction and prevents birds from nesting. Lights were arranged inside the wings to provide an extraordinary light experience to the waiting passengers.

Brief
Today, our courses are divided into two phases, morning and afternoon. The morning is to investigate the relationship between architecture and light at CSM KX campus, as well as photos and videos and painting records. In the afternoon, the content of the theory is explained. I am very excited about this course of outdoor study.

Research of King's Cross
The £500 million repair program announced by Network Rail in 2005 was approved by the Camden London Borough Council in 2007.  It involved the restoration and relaunch of the original arched train shed roof and the extension of the 1972 station in front of the station and replacement of it with an open plaza, the new semi-circular departure hall opened to the public on March 2012.  Located on the west side of the station behind the Great Northern Hotel, designed by John McAslan, built by Vinci.

Research of designers
The two designers I studied were Moritz Waldemeyer and LeCorbusier. The first designer, Moritz Waldemeyer, was very avant-garde in his Bentley 100gt concept car light project, very rich in future technology; the second project was a prop, he attached the light to the stick and acted as an actor The lights will show brilliance as the show rotates. Another designer, LeCorbusier, has 337 apartments in his famous architectural project Unité d'Habitation, spread over 12 floors; the building also includes shops and architectural bookstores, [12] roof galleries, educational facilities, to the public The open hotel, [13] and gourmet restaurant, is equivalent to a vertical city.

Feedback
I think the link that will help inspire me today is the "Photographing of Light and Architecture" mission. In the process, I will carefully observe how the light passes through the building and paint it on the sketchbook. You are more interesting than simply reading books and online, which allows us to explore this topic from a designer's perspective better.

This afternoon, we learned how to use pinter and borrow books in the CSM library. The staff gave us the task, read the books in the library according to their needs, and take photos, write down key information and draw my ideas when reading.

From sketch book by Guanting Li

BRIEF 

Today's lesson is about architectural projects, working in teams using sticks and paper to make models free stand. The requirement is to link the distance between model A and model B in the massive structure. At the end of the course, every team's models will be linked together to fill the space of the whole classroom. I always use camera to record the impressive buildings and structures in my life, this habit was beneficial for this course, after I checked the related photos obtained about the time course of inspiration, I want to help stabilize the structure stability should use triangle, and overall appearance should reflect rotating bending or meet the visual effect.

STRUCTURE

For our group work, when we begin making model, every membership showed their idea，after discussing the members decided to use my project, and to improve the model's most sides to a triangle, in my scheme using the structure of a and b can be active and healthy links, so that no matter how many height and distance is a distance b can realize the connection, not affected by terrain factors, to give the process of sticker model, we select the square structure of large-area, to maintain the structure of the model.

TEAM COOPERATION

As for teamwork, I think it can get everyone's feelings and feedbacks immediately, and develop the efficiency of model making. When we meet with different opinions, we usually achieve the same goal by combining the views of both sides.

REFLECTION

After the model making time was over, I felt that our model was too simple through communication and visiting other people's works, and I did not have a variety of shapes or materials to decorate. The reason for all this lies in me. When we were designing, I focused on design concept is: "architecture that can free stand for any terrain," thus neglecting the visual feeling, leading to no reference in the process of adding lights to study shadows. 

EXTENSION - PRIMARY RESEARCH

city of London

Apple Store Fifth Avenue

Foster + Partners

Text description provided by the architects. Through the careful peeling back of layers of history and the sensitive restoration of the cube, Apple Fifth Avenue seeks to revive the plaza by making it more accessible from three sides, reinforcing the progressive and innovative spirit that is emblematic of Apple. The project is the result of a close collaboration between the design team at Apple led by chief design officer, Sir Jonathan Ive and the integrated design and engineering teams at Foster + Partners.

The plaza is the perfect stage for celebrating Apple’s passions: photography, music, art and design, coding, and more. Wide steps along the edges invite people up into the space, to gather in a bustling epicenter of urban life. Stone seaters shaded by trees and bordered by linear fountains along the edges of both 58th and 59th Streets create a place to rest and a quiet buffer from the busy traffic, alongside two discrete auxiliary entrances that enhance access to the store below.

Nine beautiful innovative mirrored ‘Skylenses’ are arranged in a grid on either side of the glass cube. These public sculptures allow visitors to interact with the famous New York City skyline in a completely new way. Their seamless curved surfaces create a place to sit while providing a reflected perspective of the city’s architecture. The skylenses feature an innovative circulatory cooling system beneath the top surface, designed to absorb solar energy and offer frost protection, allowing people to use them throughout the year. The mirrored glass floods natural light into the expanded store – double the size of the previous space.

At the center of the plaza is the distinctive glass cube, signifying the hub of activity and drawing life into the store below. Visitors descend under the light-flooded glass cube, down a new circular lift and spectacular stainless-steel staircase. Each element from the elevator drum to the stair treads is made with mirrored stainless steel, reflecting the sights and energy from the surrounding area. The carefully chosen materials completely dematerialize the form and the infinite reflections of light and the skyline create an exciting and stimulating experience.

A grand hall beneath the plaza matches the energy of the public square above, with a backlit, cloud-like ceiling made from a three-dimensional curved fabric innovatively combines artificial and natural light to match the changing tones of daylight through the day – producing an experience that has never been achieved before. Even in low-light conditions, the intensity is higher around the skylights and gradually recedes away from it, giving the impression of natural light flooding the interior. A ring of lights around each skylight contains focus lighting that highlights the products on the display tables. The ventilation system is discreetly integrated within the stone floor and responds intelligently to the levels of occupancy and outdoor weather, optimizing energy usage.

People's Architecture Office

Office staff can walk laps around the track while on a call. Others can multitask by conversing while simultaneously cultivating plants. Incorporated into the planted loop is an advanced air filtration system. A significant issue in Beijing, one of the world’s most polluted cities, indoor air quality data is regularly collected, monitored, and displayed in real time above the running track. 

The vegetables and aromatic herbs from the activity loop and other hydroponic gardens in the space are harvested and prepared on-site for lunch. This daily communal activity takes place next to the activity loop in the open kitchen, an area that extends into the dining and lounge space and runs the length of the office.

 

Another location that mixes lounging and working is the ‘mini mountain’ that sits at one of the end of the office space and is intersected by the activity loop. The surface of sloping facets accommodates a variety of postures and is also a way to ‘hike’ up to the mezzanine level. Spaces for specialized activity include a separate gym, a meditation space, and a meeting room.

 

The wall design reminds users of the importance of staying active and changing positions. Gradating bands of blue span the height of the walls and columns at 60cm intervals. Recommended periods of time spent at each height are given and each of these correspond with certain postures and activities, which include laying down, sitting, walking, and climbing.

Leping’s innovative work in social impact requires collaboration and interaction between team members, departments, and companies. The workstations are designed by our office and create small social spaces, including mini kitchens and lounge spaces, where spontaneous and informal conversation can take place. The furniture system uses a truss structure that allows storage to be suspended above, freeing up floor space for people to squeeze in for spontaneous discussions.

The activity loop interior serves as an event space and a flexible space for incubating social enterprises. It’s populated with Tetris Tables, which can be used individually or combined into various configurations. A People’s Canopy can be moved around and expanded to create a separate meeting space within the central loop area.

Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech 

Studio KO

Text description provided by the architects. Dedicated to the work of the legendary French fashion designer, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech (mYSLm) opened its doors in autumn 2017. It houses an important selection from the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent’s impressive collection, which comprises 5,000 items of clothing, 15,000 haute couture accessories as well as tens of thousands of sketches and assorted objects.

The building has been designed by the French architecture firm Studio KO, founded by architects Olivier Marty and Karl Fournier. Situated on Rue Yves Saint Laurent, adjacent to the famous Jardin Majorelle, the new building spans over 4,000 m2 and is more than just a museum. It features a 400 m2 permanent exhibition space, showcasing Yves Saint Laurent’s work within an original scenography designed by Christophe Martin; a 150 m2 temporary exhibition space, a 130-seat auditorium, a bookshop, a café-restaurant with a terrace and a research library housing 5,000 books. 

 The library’s collection includes books on Arabic and Andalusian history, geography, literature, and poetry, as well as numerous volumes related to botany, Berber culture, Yves Saint Laurent’s oeuvre and the world of fashion. While researching the designer’s archives in Paris, Studio KO was intrigued by the duality between curves and straight lines, and the succession of loose and clean cuts. From the outside, the building is composed of cubic forms adorned with bricks which create a pattern resembling threads of fabric. The inside is markedly different, like the lining of a luxurious couture jacket: luminous, velvety and smooth.

Illuminant research in life

 Designer case study

Architecture case study

04/09/2019

Today tutors briefly repeated Yesterday's course， the main task is printing and finish my project. In this process, tutors had to take turns everyone's project and give some bits of advice. In the afternoon, we had an activity, the tutors give our some Note posted to favourite project and write to vote for some opinions，I think it's a good process to learn from each other，It is a pity that doesn't had someone support me， maybe my sketchbook Typesetting was messy and don't had any English annotations， this is the point I need to improve in the future.

When I was printing, I always deny my project because I cannot make sure it was good to develop; I funded tutors from talking about it. In the process of communication, We have different views about sensualism, the tutors think this word only use for adults's design，but my project is designed for children，and then we had researched in the WIKI PEDIA， it's mean is persistent or excessive pursuit of sensual pleasures and interests,（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensualism）after that The tutor asks for me need use model display my dear or use collage to describe the route of the children in the park by my design.

As for my idea of this tire children's paradise, firstly, I want to find relevant cases on the Internet to see other ideas, to transform my idea. Secondly, I decided to go to the Lego store to see if there is any tire model I need to restore my idea as much as possible.

Volkswagen Golf Cabrio

The new 2011 Volkswagen Golf Cabrio is lifted into one of two storage towers at the Autostadt customer reception center at the Volkswagen factory on the day of the German automaker's annual press conference on March 10, 2011 in Wolfsburg, Germany. Volkswagen announced its best year ever for 2010 with an operating profit of EUR 7.141 billion. Volkswagen customers who come to Wolfsburg to pick up their car in person receive their new car after a robot extracts the car from one of the two towers and brings it to them via an automated, underground transport system. Each of the two towers hold 400 cars.

Bosco Verticale

Text description provided by the architects. The first example of a ‘Vertical Forest’ (il Bosco Verticale) was inaugurated in October 2014 in Milan in the Porta Nuova Isola area, as part of a wider renovation project led by Hines Italia. Milan’s Vertical Forest consists of two towers of 80 and 112 metres, hosting 480 large and medium trees, 300 small trees, 11,000 perennial and covering plants and 5,000 shrubs. The equivalent - over an urban surface of 1,500 m2 – of 20,000 m2 of forest and undergrowth.

The Vertical Forest is an architectural concept which replaces traditional materials on urban surfaces using the changing polychromy of leaves for its walls. The biological architect relies on a screen of vegetation, needing to create a suitable microclimate and filter sunlight, and rejecting the narrow technological and mechanical approach to environmental sustainability.

Biological Habitats:

The Vertical Forest increases biodiversity. It promotes the formation of an urban ecosystem where various plant types create a separate vertical environment, but which works within the existing network, able to be inhabited by birds and insects (with an initial estimate of 1,600 specimens of birds and butterflies). In this way, it constitutes a spontaneous factor for repopulating the city’s flora and fauna.

Mitigation:

The Vertical Forest helps to build a microclimate and to filter fine particles contained in the urban environment. The diversity of plants helps to develop the microclimate which produces humidity, absorbs CO2 and particles, produces oxygen, and protects against radiation and noise pollution.

Anti-sprawl:

The Vertical Forest is an anti-sprawl method which helps to control and reduce urban expansion. In terms of urban density, each tower constitutes the equivalent of a peripheral area of single family houses and buildings of around 50,000 m2.

Trees:

The choice of species and their distribution according to the orientation and height of façades is the result of three years of studies carried out alongside a group of botanists and ethologists. The plants which are used on the building were pre-cultivated in a nursery in order for them to become accustomed to similar conditions to those which they will find on the balconies.

Changing façades:

The Vertical Forest is an ever-evolving landmark of the city, whose colours change depending on the season and the different natures of the plants used. This offers Milan’s population an ev- er-changing view of the city.

Management:

The management of the basins where the plants grow is the responsibility of the condominium, as is the maintenance and replacement of all vegetation and the number of plants established for each basin.

Hydration and irrigation system:

Following micro-meteorological studies, the calculation of irrigation requirements was carried out by examining climatic characteristics and was diversified depending on the exposure of each façade and the distribution of vegetation on each floor.

Stair of the Week: the Living Staircase by Paul Cocksedge

TreeHugger's Stair of the Week posts promote stairs that do more than just get you from floor to floor, but that actually make you want to take the stairs. Designer Paul Cocksedge's Living Staircase certainly does that. He would have needed an engineer like ARUP to figure this one out:

By examining the structure of a staircase, it was discovered that by expanding the diameter and by removing the traditional central, load-bearing pillar, a new hidden space was revealed at its centre. As you emerge onto each floor, you can now enter the centre of the spiral and into social spaces devoted to a specific activity: a place to draw, to read a novel, to pick fresh mint for tea.

Everything about ‘The Living Staircase’ relates directly to the people using it, including the plants along the balustrade, which are not intended as merely decoration, but envisaged as a working garden, each plant cared for by individual members of the community.

It's being built for Ampersand, a " state-of-the-art creative office development in Soho, London.”

The Living Staircase is actually a combination of staircase and room, of movement and stillness, vertical and horizontal’, Paul Cocksedge explains in his newsletter. ‘At every turn there is an opportunity to stop and look, smell, read, write, talk, meet, think, and rest. If a staircase is essentially about going from A to B, there is now a whole world living and breathing in the space between the two.

Arup will have quite the challenge, holding those big round seating areas up in the air with no visible means of support. Some appear to be connected to the rest of the building and acting as landings, but some are just hanging out there.

it's in a building of " iconic offices for creative companies."

I always thought that creative companies liked old buildings and low rents, but evidently in London their requirements are different:

Aimed firmly at meeting the workspace requirements of London’s creative businesses, Ampersand will include roof terraces on the southern and western elevations, plus bike parking and showers in the basement, in addition to break-out and interaction spaces in the atrium.

Expo 2000 Netherlands Pavilion

MVRDV

Expo 2000 was the first World Expo in Germany and was held from June 1 to October 31, 2000 at the fairgrounds of Hanover under the motto of Man, nature and technology – home of a new world.

The goals: to achieve an exhibition with visions for the future and models for the balance between man, nature and technology, and provide solutions for the coexistence of more than 6 billion people on our planet.

The protagonists in Hannover are renewable resources, the culture of recycling and progress respectful of nature.

Situation
Was held in Hannover, Germany.
The Hannover Messe is the compound that houses the exhibit, an area of 160 hectares on the outskirts of the city.

Concept
Holland is a country with high population density. It is the best example of how a country has to shape its environment to fit their needs. Again and again had to win ground to the sea. You’ll find plenty of space not only increasing the country along but vertically.

The latter idea is displayed in the pavilion stacked to the different landscapes.

Spaces
It provides a public space on several levels, and an additional space on ground floor for the visibility and accessibility, for the unexpected.

The idea of the pavilion was characterized by the superimposition of six ways of being of the landscape.

From the ground floor, the “dune landscape” leading to “greenhouse landscape,” space in which nature and, above all, agricultural production, showed strong union with life, even in the new high tech world.

In the “pot landscape” big pots hosting the roots of trees located on the top floor, while throwing screens and digital images of light and color messages.

“Rain landscape was changing in the space devoted to water, which was turned into a screen and in support of audiovisual messages; large trunks of trees populated the” forest landscape “, while building on top of the” polder landscape “hosted large wind blades and a large green area.

Ecological Vision
Ecology, congestion, population density, the relationship between natural and artificial are the issues faced by the Dutch MVRDV in the realization of the Dutch Pavilion.

From a constructive, the flag emphasizes the natural-artificial, by reaching out and the overlapping of transparent and opaque materials, and technology of green areas, opening and closing outwards.

The building saving energy, time, space, water and infrastructure. Create a mini ecosystem that tried to find solutions to a possible lack of light and terrain.

The language of architecture was raised as a pipeline through which to raise new solutions to the problems of pollution, depletion of natural resources, congestion and livability of our urban centers.

This pavilion presents a different approach that could be taken to this project, that being rather than taking the architecture to nature, bring nature to the architecture. Although this is an interesting project, there is a secondary layer of analysis... currently the building lies in disrepair after abandonment. The ideals of this pavilion being converted to use as an office building failed due to one reason or another. This is an important take home message that sometimes even the best intentions can lead to ultimate failure.

Heatherwick Studio

The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.

Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings -- the vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond.

VERTICAL ECOLOGIE MANHATTAN

New Your, NY

2015 MASTERS THESIS

The natural environment we as a species evolved in has imprinted a desire for its wild embrace deep within us. But the accelerated march of industrialization has distracted us from our original symbiotic relationship with nature. During the tail end of the industrial revolution cities, as the center for production and activity, became boons of livability. A desire to escape this urbanity for a pastoral (now suburban) setting was only architecturally rivaled by the three garden city schemes of Wright, Howard, and Corbusier. Their contributions, and subsequently the work of Frederick Law Olmstead has revealed the importance and desire for an ecological experience in the city. 

As Americans mobilized in the mid-twentieth century the car was used as a tool to reach larger parks and truly wild spaces; it was also the driver for much of our sprawling metropolis. Only in more recent decades have environmental and eco-psychologists attempted to quantify the negative effects of this lifestyle, and study the myriad benefits interaction with nature can reveal. Stronger hearts, less anxiety, and a longer lifespan are among many biological and psychological effects proven to exist when we interact more with the natural environment. Today, along with the negative effects of cities on our bodies we are faced with an environmental resource battle as the loom of climate change reveals its effects; and as the time to act quickly diminishes our relationship to nature becomes more important. Finally, as our reach transforms all parts of the earth to produce for the city, once ‘wild’ spaces are now augmented landscapes and the monitored park is the only remnant of an  original ecology.

Windbracing, an Architectural Animation Film by Christophe Benichou

Christophe Benichou

Christophe Benichou's latest project is the architectural animated short film Windbracing that pays homage to a French science fiction book by Alain Damasio, entitled “La Horde du Contrevent” or Windwalkers. The movie offers “a sensory dive” in a universe freely inspired by the author of the novel, and challenges the spectators’ prejudices.

The architect created and realized the tribute with the help of a team that handled text, effects, music, and 3d animation. The story of the book, portrays, “in a wind-swept world, a super-trained troop attempts each generation to walk upstream to the source of that permanent breath, hoping to find it a meaning. This philosophical epic is a magnificent praise to the link, and a superb thought on the relation to the constraint and the surpassing of oneself.” In fact, the architectural movie honors these values. It is an invitation to question the first impressions a viewer can have.

Lecture brief

Today is September 9th; we begin the second week of the 3dda foundation course.
I felt pleased about today's product design course because the tutors asked me to personally go to the supermarket to buy fruits and observe how the products are an exhibit and displayed in the supermarket. My team and I bought designated fruits, tomatoes, lemons, and watermelons and took photos of the display and arrangement of the supermarket.

Feel
For this course, my favorite part is the product design of watermelon because of this teamwork plan. In my opinion, teamwork projects can combine the ideas of all people and develop designed projects quickly. At the start of the project, our group of every member about the watermelon in the product design. Finally we agree for the idea from Franz for watermelon to design a portable bag, because many people in the days we buy watermelon all find it hard to carry, this is the result of watermelon big and smooth appearance, we chose the a3 paper in the existing condition, according to the shape of watermelon to cut a hole in the paper and the armrest, the portable packaging is done. (design drawing and effect drawing are as follows)

As for the tutors, method make a to-do list to help you to complete this project, and I think this is a good idea improve for work efficiency, record good need in the phone about material type and quantity, so that in the process of buying can very quickly, also prevent omissions need goods.

Datong sports center

Informed international & POPULOUS

The Datong Sports Center, which was started on September 6, 2010, is built in a beautiful environment. It is located in the central area of ​​Yudong, near Wenyu Lake. It was designed by Australian POPULOUS Andrew and Siddi (Beijing) International Design Consultant Co., Ltd., China. Construction of the Eighth Engineering Bureau. The total investment of the project is more than 1.2 billion yuan, the actual land area is 646 mu, and the total construction area is 101,700 square meters. It consists of four main buildings: stadium, gymnasium, swimming pool and comprehensive training hall. It is mainly used for regional and national single competitions. . The completion of the sports center will effectively alleviate the current situation of insufficient sports facilities and lack of training venues in Datong City.

It is understood that the design of the entire sports center is inspired by the stunning natural features of the Loess Plateau. Each of the main elements is full of strength and majesty, showing the Taihang Mountains in the east, Luliang Mountain in the west, Hengshan and Wutai Mountain in the north. The style reflects the history of Datong as a military location in several dynasties, and the important economic role played by modern Datong in the mining and finance industries.

 The rich layering of the stadium is like the pattern and rhythm of the Yungang Grottoes, reflecting the harmonious characteristics of multiculturalism and multi-ethnic integration in the history of northern China. The total number of seats in the stadium is about 30,000. It is divided into four floors. The basement is the stadium, the athletes' facilities, the indoor training ground and the shooting range, as well as other operational, storage, equipment and other backcourt functional spaces. The first floor is the platform floor. The main entrance level of the audience and the lower level of the viewing platform; the second level is the official/body school level, including the box and the technical room, which can be used as a physical school classroom. The third floor is the upper deck, which includes a semi-open spectator hall and spectator facilities. The building's architectural shape incorporates the athlete's physical strength and graceful movement. The ground floor is 2 stories above ground and can accommodate approximately 8,000 seats.

Urban Jungle Vertical Park

Ivo Arro, Sean Tyler

Text description provided by the architects. PART architects collaborated with KINO landscape architects to design a spatial installation in the form of a vertical park in the new gigantic shopping centre T1 Mall of Tallinn in Ülemiste district. The aim of the structure is to create a common identity for the various levels of the 30-metre atrium and to provide an enjoyable environment for spending time.

The motif of a cliff proposed by the landscape architects was developed further by the architects with the aim of finding a solution that would not imitate nature but instead form a clear contrast to the plants flourishing on the “cliff wall”. The basis for the structure (that is, the algorithmic cell) is established by a polyhedron that – albeit strictly geometrical in form – allows to generate in repeated modules a free form volume filling the space. The room dividers based on the organic growth algorithm form surfaces for climbing and hanging out on various levels.

The pre-manufactured elements forming the structure are made of steel and they can be easily rearranged and replaced. The geometrical structure resembles a cliff ledge covered with climbing plants with the light and shadows from the cavities alternating with views of the expanse above. The work creates a contrast between the organic and technological material that will find its balance over time in cooperation between the gardener and nature.

Anthony Saroufim Captures the Skeletal Materiality of Santiago Calatrava's City of Arts and Sciences

Santiago Calatrava &Felix Candela 

The architectural and engineering feats of Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava can be admired around the world, but his City of Arts and Sciences, designed alongside Felix Candela, has remained a modern architectural marvel. Like many international visitors, Lebanese photographer Anthony Saroufim found himself inherently attracted to the highly publicized building complex with a specific, tailored angle - unraveling the relationship between the built reality and the people interacting with it.

As a photographer with a background in architecture, Saroufim is no stranger to the world of architectural photography, although his portfolio captures a vast array of subject matter. While his architectural photography is always captured using a Canon AE1 with either a 50mm or 24mm lens, he also captures his other images using different cameras, all of which are analog. For other projects, like his ongoing photo series “Les indisciplines,” Saroufim uses a disposable camera. The grainy texture of the photos is an intentional, textural element that is naturally achieved when using film.

Before visiting a city, Saroufim lists interesting architecture he plans to visit. His particular interests gravitate towards capturing Brutalist architecture. The artist describes his attraction to buildings with exposed structural elements and a strong emphasis on material.

Ideas factory 

Today is my first day studying in CSM. Mentors used an open learning model and group discussion and teamwork, and it was different studying type when I learned in Chinese school because I can display my ideas with why group members.

When we studied ，tutor used timer to training our thinking about speed，It was a brainstorming session。i used vocabulary and printing to remember my ideas it was a challenge to me, but I believe this method will be useful in the future.

Sharing：
I realize that a person's ability is limited, and I always have to bring some exciting ideas when sharing with others. The group members actively give me opinions and more inspiring ideas, making my thoughts more diverse. I think in the future in this case，i need to record their design and source which one thing or other details.

Project：
The tutors used a lottery to select the theme of our project，I was amazed by what I drew because it was rubber, sensualism, and to stretch.

Rubber is elastic, liquid, tough, elastic, permeable, and malleable, so my first reaction was a rubber pillow, which is remarkably resilient.

The word sensualism is the first time I've heard it, and the Internet defines it as a medical term, so my first instinct is sex and wildness, my first reaction was In 2010, Lady Gaga wore a raw meat dress designed by France Fernandez to the MTV VMA awards.https://www.marieclaire.com.tw/lifestyle/whats-hot/19280?atcr=5972c2

To stretch. My first reaction was the rubber band because it was so stretchy and elastic, and the ladder of the fire truck, which was so stretched out for rescue.

When I put all I think the most exciting things together, when I began my design I use the timing of teacher's teaching method to draw out my idea, now I have not yet fully completed at the time, in the visual expression of this project I decided to use a model, because I am a 3 dd specialized student, I think the model is the most intuitive abstract expression.

Feeling：
In fact I think today's pressure is tremendous still, because of my poor English, the relationship between the content of the primary class didn't understand him, also good of our group of people are very friendly and help each other, on the other hand, is the problem of material, when I was thinking about drawing did not have enough art ware, this is the place that needs to be improved, on the whole, the day nervous and excited about.
