Project Type Commision

Time 2018

Site Area 6694.34 m2

Location Changsha, China

Role Design development | Floor plan | Diagram | Sections | Report files | Communicate with other displines

The project is the planning and design of the headquarter office building of Friendship&Apollo Corporation.

Due to the site constraints and the influence of the surrounding environment, two towers are arranged in the base, one main and one auxiliary, connected by a podium in the middle. The pattern of twin towers also makes the façade of different heights and reflect each other, effectively relieving the sense of oppression to the neighboring buildings.

Biocomposite Structure And Landslide-Responsive Design

Project Type AA EmTech Thesis | Group Work

Location Yunnan, China

Role Morphology design | Physical experiment| Structure system

1. Urban planning by using Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to select the site location and different types of buildings' area 2. Regional planning by using Cellular Automata (CA) to find the exact location of residential architecture and green land area 3. Morphology design (EA & c#) on the base of Planning parts 4. Structure system and material physical test(EA & c#) 5. Landslide simulation and structure details (Houdini & FEA)

This project is about landslide-responsive design in the Yunnan mountainous region, which expands from urban planning strategy to a mycelium biocomposite structural system.

In the landslide-prone Malong district of Yunnan, China, buildings are vulnerable to severe damage from landslide, necessitating innovative, resistant structural strategies. Current rigid and flexible protective approaches are challenged by the complex nonlinear dynamics of landslides. Our research melds computational methods and urban design to diminish landslide impacts, while also exploring sustainable, local materials for construction. A highlighted solution involves a sandwich panel system, utilizing external timber and internal mycelium composite, aiming to optimize both protection and strength in local dwellings amidst the ongoing landslide threats.

Step 2: Iterate through all the clusters in the dictionary to find all the shapes present in the site

First EA to get residential area

Second EA to get green area

Reorganise green area

Morphology in this step, we have data from the Urban and regional planning, such as housing areas, green areas, contour lines at 3-meter intervals along the Z-axis, and water flow simulation lines at approximately 3-meter horizontal intervals after normalization.

This is a library of all combinations of 2 to 5 units and their corresponding floor plans and morphology, which is equivalent to a dictionary whose indexes are combinations of units and whose indexes correspond to morphology.Each time the seed of the K-means cluster changes, the program will traverse the dictionary to find the matching clusters and replace the corresponding morphology to the position of the clusters.

This diagram illustrates this substitution process in more detail.

If the clusters in the field have the same shape as the clusters in the dictionary but different angles or mirrors, the same mirrors and rotations are performed to maximize the replacement of the morphology according to the position of the clusters.

Step 3: Corresponding morphology is replaced to the position of each cluster RanAn | Portfolio | 2023

The team started by simulating landslides on the site to derive the areas where the buildings would be affected and classified these areas into high, medium and low risk zones. The team then selected one of the buildings as the paradigm based for generating the façade for the protection of the building.

To generate the façade system for the protection of the building, a finite element analysis of the building was carried out to analyse the areas of the building that had experienced relatively severe displacements and to obtain the principle stress lines, and then the distribution of the principle stress lines was observed to determine the distribution of the sandwich panel of the façade based on the sparsity of these lines.

Landslide simulatin to get the size range of Sandwich Panel From simulation results, rigid and flexible protective structures with column and beam sizes less than 20cm lead to complete building damage from landslides. Sizes over 60cm prevent damage, but further increases don't enhance protection.

Structure optimization In order to use less material while allowing less displacement to occur when the building is impacted by a landslide, the team inputs the resulting range of dimensions into an evolutionary algorithm for iterative optimisation, which then produces the dimensions of columns, beams, and sandwich panels.

Further Selection The Pareto front solution shows the optimization of EA , because of the smaller number of genes and optimisation objectives, the differences among the optimized solution are subtle, but it still causes the vast different impact under the water flow.

Radiation figure indicates that the north park gains more sunlight than the south part. and Windrose displays the main wind direction at the site is south-west.

This data was crucial to recognize the particular environmental conditions of the site and to further develop the tower morphology and facade.

Fitness objective 02 More density

Fitness objective 03 Less shadow of the background in winter

Fitness objective 04 Sufficient roof garden

Generate an urban block with buildings that address Chicago’s current high population density. The morphology should have the less wind effect and better energy-saving and thermal insulation performance.

Fitness objective 01 Less shadow of inner slabs

The two fitness objectives of the second EA are to increase the radiation inside the building and to increase the skeleton's density because the skeleton's density will affect the building's overall structural strength. However, it is challenging to access karamba3d into the EA, but it is possible to use this simple method of FO2 to form a conflict with FO1 to optimize it better.

Although this design level differs from the fineness and reasonableness of the actual project, it can provide a new way of thinking for future projects.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the world, people's lives and hospitals have been more closely linked than ever before. No matter the scare of the epidemic situation, or the repeated detection and treatment, the cold image of hospitals lingers on. This case explores a more ecological and gentle hospital environment, which brings a little warmth to the hospital at the moment of high frequency use.

Spain was one of the most serious epidemic countries in Europe at the time of the outbreak, and its medical system was once facing collapse; This case is located in the southwest of Barcelona, through the study of Barcelona city texture, as well as the surrounding architectural form, the final prototype of this case.
