#ABOUT ME

Typical Chinese, from look to brain.

Love to make friends, but sometime don’t want to talk to anyone because wish to find some “inner-peace”.

Not a serious person, has always been funny and approachable.

Ambitious but lazy.

Not smart enough but quite self-satis-fied.

Has a nickname called ‘Chilli’ due to the similar pronounciation to the ‘hard-re-memberable’ Chinese name Qilu.

*You’ll know me better in person.

7THIS large size, high-extruded Chi-nese map is made from Tieli wood from destroyed Qing dynasty tem-ples.

THE whole sculpture is demonstrat-ing chinese features from all aspects in a frankly way. For instanse the material use, the overall colour, and of course the shape of China.

THE reason why he extruded the map is because of he wants to use the large volumn to demonstrate the large population of China.

THE artist, Ai weiwei, one of the Chinese artists who is alvays having controversial ideas on his art and architectural works.

HE is a performance artist who lived in New York for more than ten years, an architect who helped design the “Bird’s Nest,” also known as the National Stadium built for the Beijing Olympics, but later spoke against the Beijing Games, and a dissident who is depicted as a “hooligan” by his artist friend Chen Danqing.

HE is also son of famous Chinese poet Ai Qing, husband of artist Lu Qing, and father of a three-year-old sweet young boy. He likes cats and ice-cream.

HE always creates large sized, or, from some Chinese critics, ‘over-sized’ works.

AI is concerning about the large pop-ulation of China also the great long history of China and these concider-ations are always demonstrated in his artworks.

A.1.2 ENERGY GENERATING PROJECT

STATIC is not a word that describes the Sino-Italian Ecological and Energy-Efficient Building (SIEEB) at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

DESIGNED to maximize passive solar capabilities and fitted with state-of-the-art active solar elements, the SIEEB is a dynamic energy-efficient oasis that optimizes its urban location with ecological considerations.

ARCHITECT Mario Cucinella and the Milan Polytechnic conceptualized the structure to educate and showcase possibilities for energy-efficient building, particularly in regard to CO2 emissions.

A.1.2 ENERGY GENERATING PROJECT

OVER 1000 square meters of photo-voltaic panels supply primary energy needs. With a focus on minimum CO2 emissions, the architects opted for gas engines with electric genera-tors for supplemental energy.

RECAPTURED heat is used for hot water, winter heating and combined with absorption chillers for cooling in summer. Conditioned air is dis-persed via displacement ventilation and a radiant ceiling system enhanc-es thermal comfort.

ROOM temperatures and lighting are sensor-controlled to minimize energy use when rooms are vacant.

THE SIEEB houses the Sino-Italian Cooperation Program for Environ-mental Protection, a collaborative for education, training and research with a focus on energy conservation and emissions reduction. The struc-ture and the program both stand as an example for future energy strate-gies – a welcome trend in the coal dependent nation.

THE project is a collaboration between the Ministry for Envi-ronment and Territory of the Republic of Italy and the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China.

THE SIEEB takes on a symmetric layout that opens towards the south with stepped exposures and a central courtyard. Inte-grated photovoltaic arrays shade terraces while capturing solar energy.

DOUBLE glass façades with horizontal sunshades create the building’s exposed exterior on the east and west.

PIVOTING glass louvers with re-flective coating cover the exterior walls of the courtyard to regulate daylight and solar gain.

THE northern exposure is heavily insulated and mostly opaque to shield against cold winter winds.
