1、Self-introductionI am so glad to get the opportunity of the interview. I had been an architecture student for 5 years before I graduated from XX University in the year 20XX.I amopen-minded and hardworking and I am very fond of new fields and skills . I'm a curious person, and I like learning new

2、 things. During my education of bachelor, I have learnt muchextra knowledge including the building knowledge and how to lead a team.However the most important thing I' ve learnt as a student was the individual research and thinking about the relationships behind the space consists which lead to

3、my further research.Besides, the internship and profession experience in XX, Beijing broadened my horizons a lot. Because of the cooperation with foreign designers I got much knowledge and different ideas about how the concept and the details can form a building.And as the leader of XX,my communicat

4、ion ability and team spirit improved a lot.However this is not the most important thing for me working in Beijing.Tons of Art exhibitions helped me to know the world and city in different perspectives.Even because of an exhibition called the sense of hearing,I got the initial idea of the last projec

5、t in my portfolio ,you know -How the human ' s feelings can be influenced by seeing and seen relationships.And now,I am fond of Street Photography.Because when I took photos on the street,I can get to know the real changes of our life .You know the mobile internet changed our social life a lot e

6、ven madea difference of public space demands. And by Street photography I can find the details and beauty of a street which will do some help for my further design and study.In sum, I think my comprehensive capacities and hardworking quality will satisfythe requirements for study and research in Hon

7、gkong University.That' s my self-introduction. Thank you.Why HKU?In my mind, Hongkong University is always the most famous school in Asia. And ithas been my dream school since I was a child.HongKong University has manyopportunities of communication with other colleges, and I like to get touch wi

8、thdifferent students and learn theirculture or skills . So that s why I chooseHongKong University.At the same time, the free academic atmosphere as well as the courses on movie and architecture of HongKong University have great appeal for me.And I believe that I can do better in the study of the cit

9、y and the society in HKU.Why HK?HongKong is my favortite city around the world. HongKong is an international citywhere east meets west. It is open and complicate. It will be pleasure for me tohave further education in my favorite city.Besides,As and architecture student,the extremely high density of

10、 Hongkongattract me a lot.Because of the high density,HongKong is full of fascinating space relationships.Such as the intensive buildings which lead to the large green landof HongKong.Andthe separated surface and inner function.(You know)The outside is a Huge commercial ADbut the inside is the parki

11、ng lot rather than a market.Because of the fantastic space relationships HongKong can provide the best samples for my further study and research.Why Urban Design?(To be honest, it is a hard choice and I haven' t madethe final decision.) Although my major is architecture and I love it, Istill wan

12、t to learn some new things. Andurban design which is tightlyconnected with architecture will be a nice choice.Architecture focuses on individual buildings, urban design focuses on the larger scale of groups of buildingsto make urban areas functional , attractive , andsustainable .And in mylast resea

13、rch I changed mypoint from the individual space to the mechanism behind the buildings. Icreated Matrix whichcan be seen as a small city. By doingthis I realized UDcan help meto find the logic behind the space production .Maybe in this field we can do something really good for citizens.Besides becaus

14、e of the Street Photography, streets in my mind is not just a line on a master plan but a vivid scene which will help me to be a good Urban designer.(That is why I chose the Master of Urban Design .)Other school?To be honest, I have also applied the other school in HongKong CUHK to make sure I can g

15、et my further education in HongKong. But if I can get the admission of your school, I certainly prefer my dream school-the university of Hongkong.First choiceDiploma project/Graduation DesignMy diploma project is the design of a huge transportation hub which is a complex with commercial ,residential

16、 function and entertainment.It is about 20 thousand square metres, which is so huge for a block and around by different traffics thus citizens can not access the area easily. In this situation the hub may be a isolated island in the block.In the project,I found a way to link this hub with the city s

17、pace by creating somebridges and platforms on the second floor planted interesting landscape .This strategy can help create a route for citizens to walk and have exercises on the second floor.At the same time the different route of taxis,buses,and walking people ' s can be arranged well on the g

18、round.And I used rhino to build a curved-shape for the transportation hub which can attract people to cometo the walking system.I hope this can help solve the safety,accessibility of the hub.Direction/aspect interested /Future planI plan to finish my master programme first. Certainly it would be bes

19、t for me to have my study in Hongkong University.As for the research plan, I am now eager to explore new fields in urban design.I am interested in the mechanismof the operation of a city. I have also made some researches in the field. For instance, I have completed a fictional city in my portfolio w

20、hich was operated under the seeing and seen logic. And in that project, I acquired much new knowledge and skills. I believe that HKU can provide me the most suitable platform to explore the new methods and theories relevant to the urban design in China.After my education, I will go back to china mai

21、nland to start my career as an architect or to be a teacher in a university to continue my research.Favorite architect/Urban designerMy favorite architect is Sou Fujimoto, a Japanese architect.I have been influenced by his works a lot.He is different from other architectsnot only because his works b

22、ut also his thinking method which is called the ( Initial future ' in his book The Time when the architecture being created.This thinkingmethod gives melots of interesting ideas such as why we need a sofa. In traditional China's Scholar's mind sitting should be a part of spiritual?practi

23、ce so they need a hardwood chair to remind themselves sit like a pine tree.However sofa means comfortable and leisurely life.But when we go back to the initial,whatever woodchair or sofa just provide a surface which has a suitable height for sitting with different materials .So by this thinking Sou

24、Fujimoto created a house just stack with different wood bricks which provide different height for human' s activities.This house is sodifferent .You know Louis Kanh made everything arranged in different rooms even the electric?wires and this type of space is now widely used. But When I see Sou F

25、ujimoto s work I just think is the functional room suitable for our daily life because the situation is so different.You know the E-LIFE,The internet society we are living in.Sou s work and thinking method open my mind a lot and give me a new perspective.Urban designerTalking about the urban designe

26、r.! like RemKoohas a lot.Rem is a unique guy maybe because of his experience.He worked as a journalist before ,so he knows what the politics want and he knows the image of a city is important.The huge and unique shape of the CCTWuildingsis just a image for Beijing for China.In somedegree,itis a symb

27、ol of commercial ability .This situation is especially visible in China,the image of a city is more important than the city itself.Rem knows this a lot so he always can get the project, he knows the mechanism behind this so he just obey the rule.However under the huge and strange symbolized form he

28、often takes an eye on the daily life.Such as the project,Taipei Performing Arts Center which form is huge sphere in a cantilevered ?Box.Because of this form the building can be the landmark of Taipei even a symbolof Taipei.At the same time,the white rectangles drawing under the cantilevered building

29、 is the position of the night market.So Rem can use this exaggerated form to get the clients ' points at the same time he designs some kind space for citizens ' daily life.Because of this way,he can get the project and may can do something good for our city.High Line Park in NYCThe?High Line

30、?(also known as the?High Line Park) is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33?km)New York City?linear park?built in?Manhattan?on an elevated section of a disused?New York Central Railroad-The West Side Line .James Corner led the winning design team for the 2004 international competition. Inspired by the scene, foun

31、d beauty of the High Line, where nature has reclaimed a once-vital piece of urban infrastructure, the design team aims to refit this traffic system into a place of leisure.By changing the rules of engagement between plant life and pedestrians, James figured out his concept -thewild landscape. Suppor

32、t the overall the inventionof a new paving and planting system that allows for various ratios of hard to soft surface that transition from high use areas-theplatform (100% hard) to richlyvegetated landscape (100% soft).The park's attractions include naturalized plantings that are inspired by the

33、 landscape that grew on the disused tracks,?and views of the city and the?Hudson River which will renewal blocks and communities nearby.The recycling of the railway into an urban park has brought on the revitalizationof Chelsea, which had been in generally poor condition in the late twentieth centur

34、y.It has also made real estate development in the neighborhoods.So we can say this urban design is not only romantic but also has great profitswhich is so amazing.BookInvisible logic,Hongkong,as Asian Culture of Congestion.The book is written by Weiping Zhang.In this book he used tons of diagram and

35、 many details of HongKong ' s street to show me a vivid Hongkong.Such as the convenient and accessible overbridges.And he used a seven-eleven shop ' s layout to show the simple demands of a urban people,and this also shows the fast pace of living in a metropolis.And I was attracted by the space
