"EVERTHING IS ARCHITECTURE"
"The true architecture of our time must redefine itself and expand its meaning. Many fields outside of traditional architecture will enter the field of architecture, just as architecture and 'architects' will have to enter new areas. All are architects. Everything is architecture. ”
"Architecture is a medium of communication" "Man is both a self-centered individual and a part of a community. This determines his behavior. Starting as a primitive man, he constantly expands himself through the medium, and the medium itself expands as a result.
" Everything is Architecture" is a manifesto by Hans Hollein in 1968, in which he showed that architects can participate in a wide range of professional fields and that many of the works and results of various disciplines can be considered from an architectural point of view. In this process, architecture itself is constantly redefining and interpreting itself, and the traditional discussion of architectural functionalism is no longer enough to cope with the innovation and demands of the times, we need to step into a new field, break the boundaries of disciplines to look at human behavior, cities, societies and other contexts, all of which are interrelated. Architecture has become a medium for people to perceive the environment and the world, connecting a series of elements in our living environment, and uniting architects, artists, designers from various industries, etc.
We try to re-understand the meaning of architecture for people, how to "describe" architecture without defining it, to understand the role that architecture plays in our lives, and to understand that the spatial framework provided by architecture in social activities should permeate all scales.
For architecture, it is all architecture

“Build desire”
“THEARTER”
MTH (MORE THAN HOME)----The concept of "Add Home Plus" is to deal with the housing crisis arising from a series of rapid urbanization processes typical of Shenzhen. With the sharp rise in housing costs, "affordability" and "living with dignity" have become the demands of various groups in society. This is a practice and an experiment, we hope that the building itself can have a wider role and become a part of the surrounding city, rather than a closed island. In contrast to the typical monolithic stacking of repetitive towers and slabs, rooms, one envisions our proposal as an acupuncture-like solution scattered throughout the city's urban village lots, with the potential to reactivate and reactivate these areas. It is stitched together with the surrounding complex public spaces, roads and parks. It enables people to live with varying degrees of privacy and autonomy, achieved by arranging a series of small units around a large public space that becomes a co-living, gathering and socializing space. (Of course you can also choose to retreat into a private unit with a bed, bathroom, and even a small kitchen) / The building is made up of a series of living and shared units, containing studios, retail, community services, event space and more. Shared spaces are not only distributed on the ground floor, but are extended along the Z-axis in a more permeable way, thereby introducing urban life into groups on the more "deeper" floors to create a more mixed and active neighborhood character. The building itself acts as a quiet stage, allowing life to become a repertoire to embellish, no matter living in it, or as an observer and participant in the surrounding community, you can get unique participation and experience. //"Jiajiajia" may be used as an experimental and collaborative model to encourage diverse communities, and its transparency and public nature make it not only a housing, but a theater of community life, thus benefiting The surrounding communities respond to the problems left by the rapid urbanization process.

“BRING HOSPITAL TO YOU”
“ BRING HOSPITAL TO YOU(UNIT DESIGN)”
Through the study of the existing medical system, including the organization of the hospital system, medical equipment, type of ambulance and patient classification. We found that the way medical care works today is that patients come to the hospital from different places and are treated in a centralized, static hospital. Different patients are based on different diseases, ages, and nursing needs. Each individual requires corresponding customized medical care and diagnosis and treatment plans, as well as supporting medical equipment and resources. However, these material resources are distributed in different spatial areas of the hospital building. Therefore, today's hospitals adopt a centralized and fixed organization method to respond to the changing and diverse needs of patients.
We propose the system to be built. As a supplement to existing hospitals, mobile medical units are dispersed in cities to bring medical services to patients. Behind this system, we need to deal with the inconvenience of complex venues and their transportation, from the hospital to the patient's home. The unit needs to adapt to a large number of different medical resources, to deal with complex urban traffic factors and different patients and their special contexts such as stairs, elevators, and windows in their homes.
Through multiple iterations of the design, our final version of the unit has different sizes to deal with diverse medical resources, as well as units that can transport patients, and they have different maneuverability (crawl, fly, roll) to deal with complex Urban context and patient needs. The size of these units is not only related to the size of the medical device, but also by using electromagnets with suitable proportions, a high-density stacking combination between unit units is achieved. Combinations of different units are used to treat patients with different needs. For example, patients who need emergency treatment on the way to the hospital, diabetic patients treated at home, and emergency car accident scene rescue.
" Distributed Medical Building System
Access to medical services is a vital basic right of everyone, but the limited medical resources and the centralized organization of hospitals make it difficult to fully satisfy this right in practice. The project "Bring Hospital to You" is based on the study of hospital organizational logic and culture, aiming to design a decentralized building system to provide medical services, improve the treatment environment and medical resources by providing patients with the possibility of home care The current situation of uneven distribution, and through the design of artificial intelligence and self-organizing building units, it is targeted to meet the various needs of patients in various situations.
“KunLi”
"She is a resilient community friendly office and cultural space"
"Kunli" is located in a "fish" shaped site, close to the water. The park site requires us to consider an office and a cultural building. Our thinking is to consider them together, and cut the long linear buildings obtained to increase the permeability and penetration of the building interface; increase the interconnection between the city and the waterfront interface to form an urban open space. And rotate the building to create a staggered and more tense form. The staggered architectural space provides a variety of views for the interior. The building is no longer a closed and simple entity, but an open space that integrates all four interfaces. The skin and the staggered entity are interlaced, and the tangent part forms the external transparent interface of the building space. The shape presented after the rotation and staggering provides a rich roof platform space.
Neither obtrusive nor dominant, but humble and low-key, stationed in the venue with an integrated attitude, it is more like an integrator, closely integrating the surrounding resources and people's lives.
"Kunli" has become the cradle of many activities. The green properties in the surrounding park are extended here, and together with the striking public staircase system, create an emerging green and vibrant community. The capacity of the community is large and rich, the space is flexible and changeable, and it can accommodate many types of event spaces that are unimaginable. Rich and vibrating interior space, the first floor is expanded by vibration to enlarge and extend the commercial interface, and the staggered space of 2-3 floors provides possibilities for various types of users and flexible collaboration between them. The open and ecological wood structure skin system allows the free growth of green plants on the roof, the wind environment, lighting environment, and water environment inside the building are optimized and the behavior is closer to nature; the identity of the building can be redefined again, a garden. ? a city? a home! A home with multiple identities that grows in a waterfront garden and is more intimate with the surrounding community!
