CHAOS AND ORDER IN LANGUAGE

Every language has grammar and laws. This work try to find the physical change of architecture language.

Rotate, Split, Boolean, seems full of chaos and random, but can still use some methods to create a peaceful order.

Summer program in UC Berkeley Individual work 2017

Hand drawing of 3D rotate and cut face

Using simple geometry, Cylinder, Box and Triangle to boolean, intersection, combination, thereof, material shift, projection, thickness, in order to maintain the richness of prior of ambiguities.

Use chipboard to build it out.

model of 3/8�=1’ scale

Fit it into a box of 20 inches, 20 inches and 10 inches.

Add bathroom and stairs. Use drawing to show the void solid inside..

Relationship with human scale.

Imagine how will people use it, how can we enter into it.

The working process

FAKE ARCH

Real arch need vertical force to balance, remove this force, the arch become a shell.

Like the eggshell, the outside shell resist pressure and the inside membrane resist pressure, even when the eggshell slightly broken, the ‘arch‘ still stand.

Although its not as beautiful as real arch in stress, but it can form something that is full of misunderstanding and order.

Plaster Carbon Paper

Spoon the plaster Plaster good at resist pressure, but it’s super crisp.

Carbon paper can form shape when put tensile force.

Put a piece of carbon paper on to curve-model, wet it out. Spoon the plaster on to it, about 1-2 mm thick.

After plaster becomes stiff and the carbon paper dry, it shrink and form a pre-stressing force to the plaster.

Degree Of Freedom: A geometry A undixed joint A joint connect to earth

+ 3X3 - 2X3 A geometry can be static in three-dimension space, it needs to follow some principle : From at least two direction, it always can be simplify as a statically indeterminate structure.

-1 -1 -1 =0 Calculation diagram for static structure

Follow this principle, using stub and rope to add or detach its degree of freedom.

For its fake arch, only two supporting points of the final model are fixed pin point, other connections are hung into the space, which crate misunderstanding to the arch-like curve.

INVERT EIFFEL

The cure on Eiffel Tower was formed by wind load, when the wind came from left, the right part tension, when the wind came from right, the left part tension.

If I invert the whole structure, and everything is in a mood of tensile.

the whole fabric system is randomly twined by one strip of rope.

So every angle is form naturally, without calculation.

FRAMING CHURCH

Frame structure is the most popular structural form for its efficiency. Even in the most common church, I can still feel the equivalent beam and pillar in these two-dimension arch.

Not like the common frame we use today, the equivalent beam is not parallel to the the way we use it, but form a 45 degree angle. Reread the frame in a 45 degree view.

Strength the most weak part of the structure

Section B

More units to form a structure Different hight to indicate the path way Add roof and wall to add chaos

The plane and section drawing from 0 and 45 degree

From another perspective view, it does looks like a church with the old arch. But it is still a frame structure, with the most of the structural character that a frame structure have.

RESEARCH WORK

A survey we did when I was having an education support program in Eryuan Yunnan. A remote village, the house building process stay in a workshop way. Most of the newly-built building still use stakes and loam wall, using very tradition material. But having a warm house is the most important thing in the villagers’ life.

We stayed in the village for half month, teaching in primary school, we know every children in the village, and become good friends.
