2019 SPACE10 Research Residency GH Plugin for Path Generation and Real-Time CNC Control Modified Repetier for 6-axis 3D printing/Robotic control Machine Config.
The residency proposes an open source approach to create easy-to-program and affordable robotics. While high volume commercial productions have access to industrial processes and machineries, fabrication spaces are highly limited by the capacity of stationary tools and CNC machines. Lack in funding and trained professionals often translate to constraints in design typologies. Developed with existing CNC platforms, this proposal for a 3D-printer-base robots bring 6-axis machining capability into a compact form factor, at the same time largely reduce the cost traditionally associated with robotic system. It could overcome the current shortcoming of 3-axis machining that prevent the production of complex geometry in a distributed network of fabrication spaces. 2

SPM module 2019 SPACE10 Research Residency Remote drive axis w/ Spherical Parallel Mechanism
2-start worm gear
Contrary to robot-based 3D printing, 3D-printerbased(3DPB) robotics create cheap alternatives to industrial robotic system. Kizir and Bingul concluded in their paper that closed-chain parallel manipulators (PMs) have better performance than their serial manipulator counterparts with regard to positioning accuracy, speed, force application, and payload-to-weight ratio.

Flexible drive shaft
To fully utilize all 6 axis manipulation provided by SEASTAR and 6axis Repetier, the carriage features a 3-DOF end effector module with coaxial spherical parallel mechanism. The SPM module features remote drive system(flexible drive shaft from Zesty Tech) and a 1:40 gear reduction. This enable a hightorque output while light-weight assembly. The module was modeled in Fusion360 and 3D printed on Formlab machine. No bearings or hardware except fastener is required. This particular module was retrofitted onto an Anycubic Linear Plus with Azteeg X3 Pro controller. The estimated cost to set up this system is around USD320-360.

Water Conveyor 2018 GSD Research 3D printed ceramic water buffer supr. Nathan King
This project uses a design intervention within the realm of architectural ceramics as a vehicle to increase the potential for moisture management through building surfaces. Our goal is to develop a tile whose geometry facilitates the preferential movement of moisture from one side to the other. This movement would build upon the natural moisture buffering capabilities of low-fired ceramics. The tiles themselves borrow elements from bio-inspired surface topographies that encourage water condensation, which constitue the source side where moisture is collected, as well as from the general principles of heat sink design whcih form the sink side where moisture is released. This configuration creates tile body that move moisture from source to sink preferably.

High stability with isotropic structure
These complex geometries were only realizable via ceramic 3D printing. The gyroscopic sink design create large surface area for evaporation as well as a stable structure during drying and firing process. The end product is a parametric tile design that can be retrofitted onto interior walls and ceiling.
These tiles could be retro-fitted onto existing window bays or ceiling. The unit could be anchored with a metal substrate on the back and expose to sun like and external environment for moisture movement.

The surfboard provide a simple geometry for large scale production 3D printing. Conventional slicer tool path creates non-printing travels and sporadic moves. This algorithm creates a snaking path that coils back on itself. This eliminates all nonprint move and generally improve print quality, reliability and speed. A custom C# grasshopper component convert polyline into Gcode.. Speed and print width is modify in the grasshopper script to provide variating parameter. Additional functionality is added for large scale print. Speed could be reduced as z height increases. “Turning Threshold� parameter control print speed at sharp corner and significantly improving corners sharpness when printing with large diameter nozzle. 8

Bamboo Pavilion 2018 Shigeru Ban Architect Gradient Descent Optimization for Reciprocal Frame
The reciprocal frame structure was constructed in collaboration by Ban Laboratory at Keio University, Japan and Tonji University, China. A computational model was created to better understand the behavior of this structure before construction. For easy of on site construction, all frame members are constraint to a fix length and thickness, which lead to a skewed mapping of quad mesh on a spherical surface. A dynamic relaxation algorithm was created to find the optimal engagement length or member deformation. Project Team: Harano Yasunori(SBA), Jun Fujisaki(SBA), Anthony Chu(SBA)

2019 GSD Thesis instr. Andrew Holder “Etiquette is the term applied to correct behavior in social life, and refer to the manner of actions and the expression of a proper social spirit through the medium of establish forms and ceremonies.� Our inner self manifest to the outside world through a predetermined set of filters of the time that shape how we see and were seen. These rules of engagement became more and more relevant as our private life are surrendered to pop media. This thesis proposes a framework for the Self to re-engage the discipline of architectural form and provide an alternative to anthropocentric design. Gastronomical objects are reciprocals of ourselves. Like a bone marrow scoop reciprocating the hollow shell of femur, these objects form non-overlapping, yet tight interfaces between the subjects, entangle in a turmoil of dance and embrace. They are armatures to our limbs and bodies, reciprocals to our internals and ideas. The phenomenological effect of physiognomy can help us introduce a different yet familiar set of languages to negotiate architecture of our time. The three sets of ceramics vessels informs the engagement method by formal and indexial reciprocation. This allowing each of them to be fully embraced and interfaced, while at the same time forming relationships with one another, through tight stacking and adjacency.

Gastronomical Objects Reciprocity between forms 2019 GSD Thesis instr. Andrew Holder With our bodies we have developed an intuition for touch and sensation. As we fully grip onto a door handle, the configuration of our hands conform to the rigid body, but the rigid body were also informed by the arrangement of soft tissue around our skeletal structure. This mutual exchange of grip makes space for the intimacy between forms, a full reciprocity that is agreed and consensual. Reciprocation, to the extend of social norm and geometric relationship, is not an eventuality but a show of gesture. Gesture of which grew from a tight interface. It is “an experience of contact between a minimum of two surfaces that at least initially must be thought of as outside or as beginning before language and culture... Kissing is not a collaboration between two that aims to make one unified thing; it is the intimate friction between two mediums that produces twoness reciprocity without identity.”* These object interface with their counterpart and the subject at various poses and manners. The contact surface could be described as a mixture of smooth tangent and inconvenient bumping. From the inorganic, cloth like crushed can to ergonomic shoe tree, the subjects are 3D scanned and digitally sculpted. The four ‘totems’ signified the reconciliation between bodies and the potential of intimacy between organic/organic and organic/inorganic. * Kissing Architecture, Sylvia Lavin

Gastronomical Objects Tangential Architecture 2019 GSD Thesis instr. Andrew Holder The density of urban spaces is relieved by the clearance between buildings and streets, a ‘personal space’ with a supposing purpose of maintaining the sanity of the city. The kissing of two forms brings ‘the surprise of the difference of another mouth that is like yours but not yours.’ The pristine office space is contaminated by filth of the market, conditioned air mixed with murky fluid; conflicts activate spaces, like protesters at the square. The rare occasion of unification sublimate in atmosphere of euphoria. Architecture has long proposed a anthropocentric model; The body is abstracted into the harmonics of numbers. The metaphysical was achieve through abstraction of the physical. This approach is neither anthropocentric or anthropomorphic. It runs along the edge of the objectivity and on the interface between forms, tangential to our senses and perception. The blend of the ‘inescapable iconography’ of urban skyscraper and affordance of assemblies. Like Agostino Carracci’s Toilette of Venus, it diverge from the Classical and directly address the bestial and vernacular.

Two Things Two tower forms lean against each other as cavity weaves the internal spaces together. Eccentricity is stabilized by a poking column, stretching and dragging the skin as the forms lazily lean. Two elevator cores (labeled below, A & B) penetrate the two towers, where vein of mechanical fluid and occupant transverse its length. A structure cage forms the facade of the building, with griddles of shading growing out from the structure, clothing the facade in flaps of shadows.

WKCD Pavilion 2014 ESKYIU West Kowloon Cultural District Pavilion Competition
An international competition was held to create the Art Pavilion, prologue to the M+ Museum by Herzog & de Meuron in West Kowloon Cultural District. The proposal was a collaboration between ESKYIU and LEAD. A simple flexible gallery space is encased in a transformable skin. The proposal was awarded commendation entry in the competition.
This Art Installation and lounge is designed by ESKYIU, commissioned by Swire Properties for Art Basel Hong Kong 2015. It takes the formal gesture of the arcade as a starting point, with the structurally interlaced archways providing a place for the public to gather. Designed as a set of spatial relationships, fixed perspectival views are precisely aligned to create the underlying geometry for
the vibrant and transitory space. The interplay of the movement and activity of the spectator is further enhanced by an interactive component that exists in a constant state of fluctuation. Acting as an abstracted contemporary arcade, Ephemera provides multiple ways of inhabiting the space, oscillating between clarity and complexity as the spectator moves in, around, and through the piece.

The Ommpa Loompa Club and the Architecture of Misfortune
2016 GSD Spring Studio Workers’ Club for the Chocolate Factory instr. Grace La
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been republished many times with different style of illustration, and adapted into major movie titles. Closer reading into other Roald Dahl’s stories, one can identify a nihilistic narrative behind the appearance of children literature. Behind its supposing simplicity, children book remains a reflection of society with its good and bad at equal weight.
This studio project explore the potential of representing an architectural project in the means of children literature; With such means, it gives new reading to the architecture. Children illustration has a great potential for polemic; it is an establish typology strongly associated with virtuous ideals, which effect could be strengthen and exaggerated by incongruous narratives.
I The Secret Workers The building is penetrated by a constant rumbling sound, something like footsteps. “Mr Wonka, Do you hear the sound coming from the walls?” Ask Charlie. “What sound?” Said Mr. Wonka, “Oh, must the chewing gum I gave you, it sometimes gives people illusion!”
30
II Dinning Hall Looking at the empty room, Charlie ask, “Mr Wonka, do you prefer eating alone?” “Oh do I! Food taste much better this way,” “Beside I don’t like the smell of rat around me.” Charlie hears the rumbling again. This time, the sound is also coming from underneath his feet.
The architecture of re-appropriation ask not for a solution that will bring an end to misfortune. Instead, with humor and selfdeprecating sarcasm, we readjust ourselves to the statue quo. The humor in Charlie open up dialog, in a socially acceptable manner, on the problem and the anxieties of being human. 31

The challenge of building a tower in Doha is match by the weather and cultural identity. With only a brief urban history, other Doha skyscrapers take iconography from a mix of architectural relic collected from Iran, Egypt, Syria, etc. This proposal reconciles the need for a climatic strategy and a critical regionalistic respond to the rapid urbanization.

Monument 2017 GSD Fall Studio Monument dedicated to Kalief Browder instr. Emanuel Christ & Christoph Gantenbein
The life of Kalief Browder ended on June 6, 2013. Torment in the infamous Ricker Island prison had proved to be too much for any 22-year-old to bear and after 2 years of fighting for his justice, he took his own life in his home in Bronx New York. The case of Kalief Browder is one of many that reveals the problems of the criminal justice system in the States; one that disproportionally undermines the underprivileged and people of color. Kalief is not just an isolated case, and this monument will become a testimony to the legacy of his strive.

Separated by the Anacostia River; On one side stands one of the poorest and most racially divided neighborhood in DC; On the other the Correctional Service Complex and the Central Detention Facility. Despite of all the love we have for our great cities, they are still recovering from the racial covenant and a bigoted real estate sales practice that keep us divide, which effect remains visible these days. This monument takes on the forms of a bridge. A symbol of connection and reconciliation, but also a viewing plane of the drudgery we had overcome. It nests itself among the other statues and memorial in the network of avenues that was first visioned by L’Enfant two centuries ago. From the opposite side of the river, it stands unreachable and distant. Like this society we are living in, the gaps between different groups has never been larger. This monument is only a pillar of change, and hopefully one day, it will bring the two sides of the River together.

Located at the heart of Boston, the Emerald Necklace provide the lush backdrop for the reading rooms of this rare book library. The experience of walking through the library is a narrated path through the landscape.
Three rows of book stack slip underneath an existing ridge on site, lines longitudinally along the length of the library, while they push against the creek that flow through the park. Landscape of the ridge becomes part of the roof. A series of interior open spaces lines the water front. Light is limited by trees surrounding the creek while the roof split into three steps of thin strip to regulate insolation.

Hidden Room
The Hidden Room signifies an ambiguous and open reading of space and partition. The concentric domes create layers of in-between spaces. The thickness of the shell is lined with circulation path, creating an extra layer of complexity. This layering of structure challenges the conventional distinction of inside/outside/in-between as one unconsciously move through different portions of the domes.
