Show moreMy project is an urban redevelopment following catastrophe. A catastrophic explosion in 2010 left a portion of Nanjing city destroyed. The project proposes a new urban plan to rebuild the neighborhood and restore the community. A powerful explosion at an abandoned plastics factory in Qixia district of Nanjing city has left several people dead and dozens injured. Buildings and vehicles within 100m of the factory destroyed, 3000 citizen got the key of the street and buildings suffered varying degrees of damage in the area 8 miles in circumference. The blast was caused by a leak from a gas pipeline inside the factory, the blast happened after workers dismantling the plant damaged a propylene pipeline. The leaked gas was then ignited when a car engine was started at the scene. There were a community college and several kindergartens in this area, fortunately, it was summer break at that time, no students hurt reported. It is a unique opportunity to develop a plan in an urban context when the prior years of development have been wiped away. The purpose of the project is giving condos return to 3000 people who lost their houses in the explosion and planing mix-used buildings of the community for next 20 years. At present, many old nerghbourhoods in China are being replaced by new ones. In the most cases, the existing urban patternes are erased and a town is built with out any links to what had previouly existed there. My ptoposal is reusing most of the existing tree line streets, river and bridges. The key of this proposal is sustainability, first idea is using existing river to develop a nice wetland park and the second idea is farming gradens.

Show moreTHE FAÇADE HAS THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL WHEN TRYING TO OPTIMIZE THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF A BUILDING. THE MAIN GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IS THE VALUE OF FACADE RETROFIT AND STUDY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERFORMANCE, WEIGHT, EMBODIED ENERGY, ASSEMBLY EFFORT, COST AND POTENTIAL SAVINGS. 4 DIFFERENT FACADE SYSTEMS ARE ANALYZED AND COMPARED IN THE CONTEXT OF AN EXISTING BUILDING. ONE OF THE SYSTEMS IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED AND HAS BEEN RECENTLY RETROFITTED, WHILE THE OTHER THREE ARE DESIGN PROPOSALS WHICH FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS: PERFORMANCE AND DAYLIGHT, MINIMAL STRUCTURE AND ADAPTABILITY.

Show moreInspired by a need for personal space in a fast paced, highly mobile world, the nomad project combines the mobility and strength of a pickup truck with the convenience of a small living space. By combining a work space, kitchen, sleeping area and bathroom, this project allows this compact space to allow for the comforts of a home to be available wherever a person can travel. This exploration of the duality of interior space experiments with the folding of program space from a collapsible set of planes to a space which can be used in daily life.

Show moreThe recovery center is a place of spiritual and physical healing for patients suffering from substance abuse. Through medical treatment, education and encouragement, the center will strive to mitigate the discomforts associated with detoxification and rehabilitation.Nature has been proven to: help hospital patients heal faster, reduce stress and improve mood. Therefore, the building’s wonderful views, vast amounts of daylight, healing gardens, use of natural materials, and easy access to a large park, were all design schemes to create the most therapeutic environment.

However, as department store, big mart and hotels comes around the market. It has lost its competitiveness And this place will be developed as tourist complex area.

Show moreThe school is a proposal for high-level academic performance in the form of an art condenser that will also be used after hours to house community art events. Thus, it will act as a catalyst for future college students and serve as a magnet for neighborhood residents. As the art disciplines require, the classroom and their respective studio are integrated and considered as the basic unit that define different volumes for each art form. The massing, orientation, and materiality bring a unique quality of light to those “volumes of light”.

Show moreAnalyzing free-form natural language expressions “in the network”—that is, on programmable switches and smart NICs—would enable packet-handling decisions that are based on the textual content of flows. This analysis would support richer, latency-critical data services that depend on language analysis—such as emergency response, misinformation classification, customer support, and query-answering applications. But packet forwarding and processing decisions usually rely on simple analyses based on table look-ups that are keyed on well-defined (and usually fixed size) header fields. P4 is the state of the art domain-specific language for programming network equipment, but, to the best of our knowledge, analyzing free-form text using P4 has not yet been investigated. Although there is an increasing variety of P4-programmable commodity network hardware available, using P4 presents considerable technical challenges for text analysis since the language lacks loops and fractional datatypes. This paper presents the first Bayesian spam classifier written in P4 and evaluates it using a standard dataset. The paper contributes techniques for the tokenization, analysis, and classification of free-form text using P4, and investigates trade-offs between classification accuracy and resource usage. It shows how classification accuracy can be tuned between 69.1% and 90.4%, and how resource usage can be reduced to 6% by trading-off accuracy. It uses the spam filtering use-case to motivate the need for more research into in network text analysis to enable future “semantic analysis” applications in programmable networks.
