AA, RMIT, UCL and Bartlett are Dream Schools for students majoring in architectural landscape. Zaha, a name that has moved the world, has never stopped her from creating architectural miracles. As for the Venice Biennale, the art boom that makes the world boiling every two years. The design of this architectural works collection is aimed at students who intend to apply for architecture/urban design/landscape architecture/interior and other majors (UCL/AA and other colleges are preferred); Students who need to practice projects to produce architectural design works !
If there is anything that can connect the above, besides space, architecture, materials, and aesthetics, there is such an architect as Gary Li

He studied at RMIT and AA and cooperated with Zaha to serve Italian household brands Alessi and Delta Airlines. His works were exhibited at the 2018 Venice Biennale; As an architect, he understands the meaning and connotation of architecture; He is an explorer walking in the city and space; He pays more attention to the environment of free growth under the local architectural culture, and more attention to the closely related architecture and design, such as "Village in the City" It is one of the topics he has been working on in depth.
The village in the city is a unique urban ecological model in the world. This urban "landscape" with local characteristics exists in the city in the form of a nearly "magic" village. It not only has a unique wiki entry, but also has been concerned by AA, UCL and other art schools!

This hot topic has not only attracted the attention of overseas art college students, At the time of application, it also has a competitive advantage, especially for AA, UCL, RMIT and other construction majors Collections that focus on the hot issues of globalization are often favored by overseas art schools.
Want to make your portfolio unique and competitive? Want to get real thinking awareness and skill upgrading? Now you will have the opportunity to cooperate with top architectural designers and directly address the hot topic "Urban Village/Taobao Village", which takes 100% college concept as the core to obtain the most competitive portfolio projects and professional skills.
Magic Realism of Architecture -- Analysis and Research on the Transformation of Taobao Village
This is a topic that cannot be ignored by architects or designers. Pay attention to the phenomenon of Taobao Village on the edge of China's big cities. Take Lirentong Village, Nancun Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou as an example, and make full use of the flexible housing flow framework system of urban villages to explore the unique characteristics of urban villages“ The order and richness of inaction ”
Free growing cities or communities also have their own unique charm. There are life breath and highly complex relationship networks that are hard to find in reinforced concrete, but the single and backward model is no longer suitable for the development here.
This time, we spent 8 weeks with Gary Li, an architectural designer, to deeply explore the possibility of architecture and the city. With new architectural thinking and design logic, we broke through the traditional and single architectural framework, and used anti traditional ideas to create new buildings that are most suitable for local culture.

Highlight
Start local culture and study special architectural space types
With the theme of Taobao Village, which we are most familiar with in daily life, we cut into the social hot topic with relevant attention and deeply explored this urban phenomenon of local culture. This time, the village in the city is not an object that needs to be forced to be transformed, but a new starting point for architectural design. It takes the growth mode of the new city as the main line to inspire the future urban architectural concept.
Implementation of projects aimed at AA, UCL and other top universities
The design project of this architectural works collection is mainly for students majoring in architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, interior design, etc. Through cooperation, we will jointly complete the construction of this project. For the student group targeted at AA, UCL and other colleges, the high demand and heavy workload of project practice, and the final work can be used as the highlight of the application project of works concentration.

Cases of previous architectural works design projects
Material, space, aesthetics, multi-level redefinition of architectural design
This design topic focuses on the most popular urban topic of "village in the city", and takes the "Taobao Village" with the most local characteristics as the starting point to explore the possibility of the newness of the city. Starting from innovative materials, aesthetics, space and other aspects, the project is launched with a high degree of local culture, urbanization, and adaptability as the leading research.
Oppose tradition and connect the architectural concept of overseas art schools
Pay attention to local culture, but reject traditional thinking, take the architectural concept of overseas universities as guidance, seamlessly connect overseas art study courses, and experience the learning methods and atmosphere of overseas top art universities in advance.
