Hanwen Zhang

Hanwen was born in China and completed his undergraduate study at Chengdu,China. Prior to joining RCA He has accumulated practical working experience at China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute Co.,Ltd.,FOG Architecture Ltd andSichuan Shengtai Architecture Survey & Design Co. Ltd.

He thinks architecture is also a discipline with strong subjective aesthetic and individualistic style.He thinks the meaning of its existence should be closely connected with the human feelings.Buildings, no matter old or new, will all serve the needs of mankind. Thus, hanwen is paying more attention to the building's social responsibility and humanistic care of a building. His philosophy usually comes from the thinking of a social phenomenon and how to solve existing problems, emphasizing the logic and feasibility of design, according to characteristicsor requirements of the crowd for the gradual completion of the entire design.

ADS5: The Universal Campus
Hanwen Zhang

My project is an E-commerce community for influencers with an alternative workstyle and a new way of constructing various living forms at the same time.It is a digital ,intelligent and interactive architecture.

The project is set within a natural landscape on the peripheries of London. The total area of a building is 10,000 square meter and it allows about 1500 people at the same time.It is mainly surrounded by other

ADS5 students' buildings. The whole building is 30m-high with 4 floors and each floors is the same heights which are 6.5 meter except ground floor (4.5 m).This building implies that all spaces and service elements,

such as elevators, stairs and bathrooms are grouped into service towers located outside of the building.

The Dreamwork is like a flexible machine ,it can react with the dynamic surrounding context and provide much more possiblities into interior space .By broadcasting different online show everywhere,the whole building moves on with the new ways of constructing users' working and living.There is no boundries between the virtual and real world.Everyone can come to here and become the influencer to share their life ,skills and

sell stuff to audiences directly and indirectly.This is like a dreaming factory that you can do everthing that you want in it .

Here are some sketching about my subtle reading from Atlas.I am looking the relationship between super frame ,free floor plan and adaptive facade.The beauty of open space that we do not know what will happen inside so i find there are many possibilities in huge free plan. I am curious about what will happen in open space.
