My design embodies this principle, ensuring a seamless transition from the pantry to community spaces with minimal turns. Open courtyards and rotating panels create a versatile and interconnected environment, eschewing traditional walls. The design of the connecting corridors is inspired by the Ithaca Farmers Market, providing a sheltered yet open transitional space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/82b1c0fb-b5df-4ffa-bce6-9c7c048c41ae/Binder1_Page_33.png PORTFOLIO - Harmonious Horizon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/768b1f67-4ea5-4ec4-b12c-7f355e96922b/chunk+7.jpeg PORTFOLIO - Harmonious Horizon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/a1ff1c40-fc59-4090-878e-a4d8a001aad1/chunk+8.jpeg PORTFOLIO - Harmonious Horizon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/f2a8936c-e729-40cb-913d-eb679598c4ad/render2+copy.jpg PORTFOLIO - Harmonious Horizon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/31140291-31c9-474c-aaac-7aa7e7df936f/chunk+9.jpeg PORTFOLIO - Harmonious Horizon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/0a44baa6-7e8c-44bb-949a-15cf3804f6f0/render+1+copy.jpg PORTFOLIO - Harmonious Horizon https://www.jiaqiruan.com/portfolio/project-three-8zgh7-rd57c-dp9c5-gn9ad monthly 0.5 2025-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/6586f5fe-bab1-4b2b-ae89-915985f0fbed/Binder1_Page_34.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/c4020cd9-8fb7-4976-88dd-3bbeec5cfeaa/Binder1_Page_13.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/a3ed571c-7b08-4173-85cd-996251e4176b/Binder1_Page_20.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between While people are free to explore the space, a navigation system is designed.

Columns are not solids, but voids in my design. They become openings and entrances to other spaces. A maze is created: it added freedom to circulation, while people are able to freely explore the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/52cbf9d5-800a-40e7-8e6a-4d998c8f7929/Binder1_Page_12.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/399b31e4-0f3e-4ff7-ab51-fe446b10aaa9/Binder2_Page_1.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/c0d7eb1c-3f65-48b7-80f5-c7e411970b78/Binder1_Page_10.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/6ba5da62-fb10-4a41-aa1c-6dc5c9579756/Binder1_Page_09.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/9d6b2bae-6462-4141-9b06-ceae5f9f6de1/b63e7802c71a20e164cfdca02c5a7df.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/fd8d540a-5607-41d3-a745-68605986db8c/21e3ddfbe33f73a932ffff2ef4a4049.png PORTFOLIO - In-Between https://www.jiaqiruan.com/portfolio/project-two-llrgk-mexjw monthly 0.5 2025-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/cef61690-b398-48de-b8ba-608c251ed8e0/Binder1_Page_38.png PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/9b332a85-4684-400a-9379-13d5f5f22e44/2.jpg PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/7df3c345-9f70-4304-b236-7269c8a37e58/Binder1_Page_19.png PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/607ae359-abf5-42af-b2ff-eb9688c16040/3.png PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/0b7970b6-52f3-4d43-9f69-4c61b0aee5dc/Binder1_Page_26.png PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/01941a7f-f083-4f74-90fa-063e44a276d4/4.png PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/120902fa-eec5-4f14-ad65-340de329abd7/Binder1_Page_21.png PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/a02bc85d-81d8-4874-bc8f-197efa5413e0/5.png PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/5cb4efb6-24a7-4719-9f58-4725115c593c/8.png PORTFOLIO - Pseudo Tree House https://www.jiaqiruan.com/portfolio/project-one-ephnc-bkfha monthly 0.5 2025-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/1738003053873-TW39MAZ8SPMDPBU8UERX/d5219e2e73b4e7fbfcaf237ff10b3ea.jpg PORTFOLIO - A structure, An expression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/faa553aa-9c80-4254-a8e0-8fba58c992a1/cb78b7896dd1e3e9b03f2787a8f96e9.jpg PORTFOLIO - A structure, An expression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/40000612-74d0-4a20-8eaf-dad723ffc3a5/44de7d3379012c4a136c8bf4b41b8af.jpg PORTFOLIO - A structure, An expression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/f6fadd07-f72e-4694-95eb-a4da8a1f7395/1108e0ab43638b45c74d9ef12903d90.jpg PORTFOLIO - A structure, An expression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/8f57c301-4b97-4cd5-a123-5fd4cd4d7541/1172aceaa085842435721c35bd699c9.jpg PORTFOLIO - A structure, An expression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/d29bf719-3ab0-406d-be1a-138ee53da4a1/2536ee0ea3ab07ac2f2a97cf52bd323.jpg PORTFOLIO - A structure, An expression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6797af07e966b14ad587e560/208a0bfb-8879-4dd0-a22d-f0295c3b3859/d3c09db49e55cf7e594e666c5889dd3.jpg PORTFOLIO - A structure, An expression
