UNDER THE COCOON [Department of Architecture] - EA4 Lab AVATOR. [Instructer] - Yu-Hao , HUANG

INTRODUCTION Imitating the world of future at 2050, a lot would have change in our life. With the observation of current technology and imformation. I try to create a future world in novel. After discussion with my team mate Mark Huang, We set up a brend new Taipei city. In our imagination, people will develop a new life style to fit in the generation. Ultimately, our project will be presented by a novel and scenes of the imgination.

[Intro] With the invention of flying tech. Mega structure were built for more living spaces. Lots of new buildings were attached to the structure. Gradually, the horizon was abandonded, all the citizens migrate to the flying city. Consider to the pollution made by human being, government announced a new policy, which plans to return the land to nature. Designer of the green zone, “ ARTIST ”, were appointed to create a new appearance of the horizon.

[Site] In the cornor of Taipei city, Daan was selected for the beginnig of our story. In our imagination, all the roads and vertical paths were unnecessary. Thus, roads and stairs are removed, rivers, ponds and forest were placed instead.

With the background set, Taiwan University had become our final site. Historical buildings are perfect backgroud for us to illustrate the new form of city and living style in 2050.

[Floating Aquariam] At first, i try to imagine the scene of the sky city. For the flying ability, people are able to experience the architecture without vertical paths. Therefore, i create a new form of aquarium. Tourist in current will observe the sea nature by walking throug tanks. However, we are able simulate the origin situation under the sea. Fishes and other sea creature can live in the environment where they used to live. People can “dive” in the building and swim with the sea creature.

[Artificial Mangrove] The roads and streets were removed, instead , river and forest started to spread through the city. To offer water and nutrition for the forest, artificial mangrove were built. These buildings wer temporary built. While the forest was strong enough to approach its own extention, the area will move to other space where the recovery station was needed.

[Automatic Brewery] Empty lands were growned with variety of plants, and crops were one of them. New type of crop field was built to offer the necessity of the sky city. At the end of a river. A brewery is built on the cliff. Crops will be harvest by machine and send to the brewery. After processing automatically, beers were made and transport to the sky city. Citizens were able to enjoy delicious liquar made by clean water and fresh crops.

[Historical Pattern] The blocks in the campus are symbols for the past generation, which is reserved by the “ARTIST”. In their expectatation, the campus aren’t able to be found from the top. The zone will be hidden in the forest.

[Lotus] A new type of building has appeared, which looks like a living lotus floating on the water. It will float through the campus with the flow. The entrance of the pavilion is a harbor. Glas texture will reflect the appearance of the buildings and forest , which makes it invisible and able to merge with the environment.

[The Journey] Teenagers will have to live in the campus since 15-18. The governments expect the young generation to learn and respect nature, and the land that gave birth to our life. After flying back to the horizon, there journey started. They will be brought to the campaus by a big ship. Most of them have never been to the under area, thus, the environment and scenery is spectacular for everyone abroad the ship.

[Communicate Center] The ship will take the teenagers to the under ground lake area. After going through the tunnel, their first glance was the communicate center. It is the entrance of the campus zone. Students will come here for each kind of application, such as constructing new building or rent devices.

TIMBER ARTICULATION [Department of Architecture] - EA4 Lab C.C.C. [Instructer] - Chen-Chen , CHEN

INTRODUCTION Inspired by some element and detail from timber product, i started my research and design from how timbers interlocked and transformed into art pieces, furniture and architecture. After research and conclude the rule and method that i try to approach, timbers we grow and extend into different aggregations.

Ultemately, i expect that the aggregations can transform into architecture elements, and the combination of these elements may create a new form or atmosphere of architecture.

[Mortise & Tenon] Mortise and Tenon are ancient techniques that we can often find out in wood crafts and architecures. The projects reaveal the pure texture of timber. In addition, the strength and toughness can also be observed while they afford the weight of itself and the users. mortise crafts

[Kumiko Crafts] Kumiko Crafts is an ancient art skill from Japan. The process of thproducts use mortise to interlock the timber frames together, after the frame part is done, smaller crafts with different patterns will be hammered into the hollow cells in the frame. All the parts are interlocked with mortise or glued with sokui. As you can see, the differeces between the timber frames and patterns will create a special texture, which inspired me to research the rules of the connection that may generate new patterns.

[Truchet tiles] Truchet tiles are square tiles decorated with patterns that are not rotationally symmetric. When placed in a square tiling of the plane, they can form varied patterns, and the orientation of each tile can be used to visualize information associated with the tile's position within the tiling.(via-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truchet_tiles) truchet art

[Rule of the Boundry]

2D boundary(40%)

3D boundary(40%)

After my research, each unit can connect perfectly while they have the same connecting rule on the boundary. After defining the pecentage and the location of the connect part on the bondary, the pattern will change randomly. Then i try to access the rule on 3D units, luckily it worked successfully and 3D patterns are created.

[Chiseled & Interlocked]

2.5d unit connection

Considering of the manufacturing process and the approach of connecting the units in 3D, i definite four simple ways of mortise. These metods will help my units changing there direction, and the result is interesting for the units will not only connect by the boundary, but the gap between units can also interlocked with other units or gaps.

[Result Conclusion] The aggregation can work well with the units that transformed in 90 degree. With the different density of the part in the aggregation the units can grow horizontal and vertical in 3D. After the experiment of vertical angle units. I try to aggregate other kind of units and looking forword to different patterns.

[Aggregation C] Aggregation result in units wich have four tentacles, each angle between two tentacles is 90 degree, and the tentacles will bend 45 degree rendomly in different dimension.

Transparent

The appearance is the first thing that I considered. Trying to attract students to walk in the building, the bumping topography has to be merged with the architecture. To connect the entrances with the complex topography. I draw a concept section to help me develop the paths and heights of each floors. In addition, I am expecting that people can easily see every activities in the building while expirencing through the paths.

Dramatic

[Diagram] First, I creating curves that obay with the flow of the topography, in case students can jog thrrough the architecture. Then I start to morgh the appearance by splitting and extending my curves. For me, these curves are not only paths and floors, they can also create rooms that fit with different function.
