Focused on sustainable and socially responsible design, he envisions high-rise environments that reimagine urban living and working in dense cityscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chuan Liu Q1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My design belief matches the theme of the NY Architectural Design Awards. Innovative thinking on futuristic architecture is what I am interested in. With the big picture, I incorporated sustainable design into the project by combining green spaces with high-rise buildings. The hybrid comes as a prototype to enlarge the vocabulary of future architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defining concept is to incorporate sustainable design into the project by combining green spaces with high-rise buildings. The hybrid aims to provide a prototype that can be integrated into any urban area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I developed an interest in culture, society, and our built environment when I was young. Architecture encompasses all the aspects organically. At the same time, I am passionate about innovative thinking, and architecture is a great medium for me to visualize my thoughts and influence other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deliver socially responsible design with the thought of innovative thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there are. My initial idea is to provide a meandering walking path on high-rise to build a vertical garden. It is hard to resolve circulation while incorporating green space on the exterior. Considering the challenge, I reshape the building form to make the circulation part of the massing idea. And I provide a coherent green path while creating platforms at each level as a pause for people to stop and have activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, I will come up with a few ideas that are related to the main topic. And I will try to integrate the ideas into a storyline that manifests my design strategy. During the process. I may abandon ideas that are irrelevant to the strategy. Moving on, I will translate the design strategy into spatial language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainability, urbanity and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) The facade treatment should emphasize verticality to balance the spiral circulation that is mainly horizontal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Use the existing urban fabric to study the necessity of green space and analyze both the pros and cons of high-rise buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(read more <a
