EXPLOSION

THE RESURGENCE OF CITY VESSEL Pop Art & War Museum Based on Silo Renovation The building was originally a container for hose storage and has been around for over a hundred years. Located in the important eastern port area of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. As The Times have changed, buildings have become like containers for storing hoses. However, the location of an important axis in the bustling area of the city makes people have to think about the possibility. The design regards the transformation of the silo as a transformation of the function of a container, from a storage hose to a museum that can host civic activities. Combining the customs, art, history and surroundings of Buenos Aires, think of the silo as a mixture of wines.

What is Architecture:

If we assume that the building is a container, then the people in the building are like the liquid in the container, flowing freely and following the rules.

If we assume that the building is a recyclable object, then the renovation of the building is like the melting reshaping of a plastic bottle.

If we assume that the wall of the building is a wine bottle, then the different Spaces in the interior are connected like mixing wine, mellow and sweet.

If we assume that the building is alive, then the shaping of spatial form is like the reshaping of utensils, flexible and organic.

Each cylinder wall of the silo is like a wine bottle, which constitutes a new interesting architectural space by means of positive, inverted, and misplaced arrangement, rather than the previous single boring space form. The space in the building is like the wine in the bottle, if it needs to be combined and transformed, willl be required to be mixed and coordinated according to certain laws and logic to form a unique charm. And people are like molecules in a wine bottle, making activities in a vessel filled with liquid, small and free.

If each cylinder wall is a vessel, then on the plane, the connection between the cylinder walls is like breaking the interval between vessels, making the space more continuous and more fluid. The new curved architectural bottles, either upright or upside down, form a new space and atmosphere with the original bottles. When various Spaces, new and old, are connected through a path story line, like a string of pearls, then this is the true resurgence of city vessel.

REBIRTH OF BAMBOO CONTRAST & COCOON

Composer: Delong Yang. Weidi Zhang. Peiqi Yan. Yancheng Zhang.

Tutor: Igor Pantic. Jiahao Syu. Liz Zhang.

Group work 06/2023-09/2022

The design is inspired by the traditional Japanese art of ukiyo-e prints. In this bustling area of Tokyo, we wanted to bring a spiritual sanctuary to this dense city. The design is a high fabrication, and living areas for artisans and apprentices. Two main materials were chosen for the construction: processed bamboo - bamboo steel, and bamboo formwork and bam because it is widely used in traditional Japanese architecture and has a historical connotation of well-being and peace.The space is created by combining 3-meter and 6-meter un algorithm.

THE METABOLISM OF RAW EARTH Gaudi La Coma Artists' Residences Composer: Delong Yang. Rixi Ye. Rongjie Zhang.

Tutor: Dan Liang Group work 09/2022-11/2022

The raw earth material has a long history in the Mediterranean region. Arising by agrarian and pastoral economy, raw earth construction is cha with the nature, independent of intermediate technical conditions. Raw earth construction is made of free natural materials which are completel latest 3D printing technology.

To realize the variability and sustainability of the spatial form in the artists' residences and education complex, we extract a growth patter landscape form a living system which is constantly metabolizing, hatching the new, and refreshing the old, to respond to the division, reprod spaces are also created by the cell image for various situations.

It was founded in the late Middle Ages and is a historic town with many historic buildings made of stone and rammed earth preserved around it.

The site is located on an olive and almond estate in Puebla de Fantova, with an area of 3 hectares, with an old building dating back to 1700 in the center of the site.

Inside the site, there exists a maximum altitude difference of 30 meters and an average altitude difference of 18 meters in the north-south, bringing challenges and

Epithelial cell Bionicism is also one of Gaudi's design principles, and we have uncovered some interesting cellular proper ties in our research on cells that have inspired our design.

Cell division and proliferation Cell division into new cells is like the expansion of a new building, and the process can be like a variable building space.

Cell death The material produced by the decaying cell can be absorbed and reused by other cells. Like a cell, a raw earth building can be recycled after the building has been demolished.

Cell material exchange The furniture in the space and the people who use it are like different protons in a cell, they move through the building and interact with it.

DECONSTRUCTION OF EMOTION MEMORIAL TO THE LAST NUCLEAR BOMB

The site is located on an atoll in the Marshall Islands that has been the site of 67 nuclear explosion tests by the US military. All the radioactive waste has been concentrated in an unsafe round concrete fill and has been leaking for seven decades, so much so that radiation levels in the vicinity are now even safe, opening up the possibility of building a museum.

The inspiration came from the integration of landscape and architecture by combining the fragments of nuclear explosions through orderly axis relationships.

Deconstruction is never an act of technique only, but an emotional deconstruction of displaced indigenous people suffering from nuclear radiation. The emotions are split into seven dimensions—pleasure, fear, anger, evil, desire, sorrow, and love.

Nuclear Test Explosion Site

Radioactive contaminants are collected to Runit Island

Nuclear Sarcophagus After 60 years, the pollution contamination in local lagoon waters has decreased significantly since the early 1960s. These data provide compelling evidence that contamination in the waste pile within the Runit Dome has had, and continues to have, a negligible impact on the wider marine environment. So it becomes possible to construct a museum here.

The building was deconstructed from a prototype of a nuclear explosion. The explosion created several major doubleheight openings, which provided light to the underground parts of the building. The orientation of the planar wall follows seven axes arranged by emotional deconstruction.

The deconstruction is never a singular architectural technique; instead, it is based on the long-term emotional changes of residents near the nuclear explosion at that time and those who have been continuously troubled by the aftermath. It spans the temporal dimension, from the joyful life before the explosion to the initial experience of a seemingly abyss-like fear during the explosion. Subsequently, there is anger upon learning the truth, judgment of the perpetrators' guilt, a desire to protest and seek revenge, and then the transition to a sense of powerlessness and sorrow after experiencing the baptism of time. Finally, after going through the passage of time, there emerges a love and hope for the future life.
