Intro Works: Switch between Scene

from Architecture Concepts: Red Is Not A Color

As a freshman in school, I was enlightened by my teachers who taught theories under the influence of functionalism, but after some design experimentations, I noticed that function is a concept of temporality, and changes in time allow different events to happen in the same place. Architectural space is the only entity that can withstand the switching of time, connecting different functions, and different scenes through the timeline. In the design projects of Intro Works, I noticed that there exist confrontations between activities in different time, between some scenes in the same space, and architecture can be a switch button to switch between confrontational scenes. This encourages me to rethink the relationship between people and space.

Are there people who need to switch between confrontational scenes? Of course, most of us lead a "double life" more or less, switching between work and life, public and private, etc. Yet the existing space does not seem to respond. Some people are getting used to space's singularity, while others are being oppressed by it. In the design projects of Major Works, I try to create spaces that meet people's double life under the background of both reality and fiction. Architecture serves as a switch of double life, while solving real social problems, telling good stories of "the other side of people".

In the last part, I will be discussing the concept of "switching" with methods other than architecture to show my thoughts and attempts from a cross-disciplinary perspective.

01 Heaven Eleven Community Church between Sacred and Secular Individual Work Tutor: Qinghuang Zhu Location: Tamsui, China(Taiwan) Academic Project 2019.09 ~ 2019.11 The history of the development of Christianity in Taiwan began with Jose’s colonization in the mid-17th century, but its comprehensive development began after the opening of Taiwan’s port in the mid-19th century. The three major Christian denominations, including Catholicism, Orthodox Church, and Protestantism, all have churches in Taiwan. Protestantism has the largest number of believers in Taiwan among the three major denominations due to its relatively active mission.

Tamsui Old Street is one of the best cultural attractions in Taiwan. In this place with a centuries-old history of Christian culture, and a trend of tourism in the local night market, a church will be built in the most crowded area to meet the needs of local Christians, residents and visitors from far away.

The aloofness of the traditional church is incompatible with the vitality and liveliness of Tamsui Old Street. What kind of relationship, in a community centre with religious attributes, should there be between God and man? My answer is: this is not a church, but Heaven Eleven, a convenience store opened by God in Tamsui, where Jesus is both sacred and common touch to us all.

Tamsui Old Street, Xinbei City, Taiwan Tourism & Religiou Culture As one of the most distinctive historical districts in northern Taiwan, Tamsui Old Street is famous for its time-honored food, Christian culture and historical buildings since the end of the 19th century. With the opening of the subway and the development of tourism, its bustling night market has gradually become a haunt for tourists.

Study of Night Market Street

The missionary essence of Jesus is to travel and enjoy with others. His gospel spreads across the open street.

The project will foucus on the integration of altar and marketplace to create a church that opens to the street.

Churches for christians

Incontinuity of Daily Life The activities of church and street market change with time, switching between two different life-style and space.

The site is located at the beginning of the old street with the highest density of tourists and locals. God becomes a “7-11” (a convenience store brand) waiter.

Formally, the “walls” of the church were “spatialized,” and the chancel was transformed from a space initially enclosed by walls into an urban plaza open to the public.

Space as a Confrontation

Architecture as the Switch Button

In the spatial layout, the first floor is set as an open space next to the the T-junction, surrounded by snack bars, taverns, etc. to form an inner courtyard, which is open to the tourists. Above the ground are the altar, prayer rooms, libraries and other local activity related facilities. The community church stands above the street market, which accommodate two different scenes.

During the day, around the central courtyard, local residents can immerse themselves in choir songs while attending classes, or witness a wedding while reading. At night, the first floor is lit up, and the courtyard of the church is switched into an open stage for the night market. Tourists come around the atrium to shop, barbecue, eat and drink, and enjoy the show of Tamsui artists at the same time.

02 Atrium Inside

Tension Membrane between Traditional and Modern Studio Work Members: Chuhan Xu, Jianen Yao, Chen Li, Ximeng Fu Contribution: Leading Designer, Algorithm Designer & Team Leader Tutor: Yi Hong, Chengyang Lin Location: School of Architecture, Huaqiao University, Fujian, China(Mainland) Studio Project 2019.01 ~ 2019.03 The project is inspired by the traditional space form "atrium inside atrium". We adopted the method of tension membrane that has the least impact on the existing structure. This is aimed to strengthen the node image of the large steps and to activate the space's vitality above the stairs. Formally, the "hexagonal atrium roof" can evoke the image of ancient traditional space inside the modern atrium, forming a switch between "tradition and modern".

I would like to express my gratitude to the Digital Lab of Huaqiao University for its technical support.

Membrane After the membrane is evenly subdivided by triangles, it has similar areas, and there are slight differences in size. The corners are marked with the joint numbers they are connected to.

Membrane Assembling

Joints The joints take the exact same shape and material, and mark the center points of the membranes corresponding to different directions to reduce errors.

Tension Wire Fabricating

Tension Wire The tension wire is divided into two layers: the inner layer is steel cable, which plays the role of tension force, and the outer layer is a plastic rod, which plays the role of connecting with the membrane.

03 Tied to the Sea Ama's Ocean Nomad House between Land and Sea Group Work Group Members: Chuhan Xu, Yichen Yang Contribution: Leading Design, Analysis(50%),Modeling(50%), Rendering(50%),Drawing(50%)

Tutor: Jiawei Xue Location: Toba, Japan Academic Project 2021.05 ~ 2021.06 Ama Divers refers to women who dives into the ocean to catch shellfish, seaweed and other seafood. Ama live all over Japan. Among them, Toba in Mie Prefecture and Shima area live in about half of Japan's ama. It is known as the most likely "city to meet Ama" in Japan.

Japanese Ama culture is one of the unique cultures belonging to independent women in Asia.

The most significant difference between Amas and ordinary women is that conventional women's activities do not constrain Amas. Their daily routine combines work and life between land and sea. However, after embracing the era of tourism and cultural re-creation, Amas are still stuck by old land-oriented regime and routine. The project tends to create nomadic living blocks that allow Ama groups to work independently above the sea and assemble spontaneously to form public spaces when social activities are needed. Thus, a switch between land and sea is maded possible.

11

Ama Divers, or Ama, dive into the ocean to catch small sea creatures. Female divers take over the profession.

They can flexibly dive 20 meters and hold their breathe for minutes, with only few equipments to avoid overfishing.

Amas work as groups and dive with only one rope tied to the waist, to call for alert and help.

When the work is done, amas have to leave the sea and return home on land.

Amas gather in Ama's Hut, a place with firepit, where they get warm, cook and rest after coming back.

As time goes, diving is less necessary for making a living. Tourism had boosted more job opportunities

Ama now go diving and hold ceremonies out of the love of the ocean and the culture shaped by their own hands.

More people come to learn about Ama's lifestyle and culture. Young generations begin to join the crew.

Amas have to tidy up equipments, to shower, to cook, and to pack up food.

Sometimes they change the oblation on the shrine with fresh abalones.

They also have to clean up public spaces, check the fuel deposit, and to check if the docking system works as usual before they arrive at their destination.

04 Time-in, Time-out Takeaway Rider's Work Station between Peak & Off-peak Group Work Group Members: Chuhan Xu, Zhaoyan Wang Contribution: Concept(60%),Analysis(50%),Modeling(50%), Rendering(60%),Drawing(40%)

Tutor: Jie Gu Location: Tianhe, Guangzhou, China(Mainland) Competition Project 2021.03 ~ 2021.05 In 2020, an article titled "Takeaway Riders, Trapped in the System" made itself a trending topic on Chinese social media, exposing to the public the inequality between riders and online takeaway platforms.

Takeaway Riders in China are known as "Urban Ferrymen". As megalopolis' new-born freelancers, they are hired by different platforms to deliver daily necessities such as food takeaways, medicine and fresh produce. Yet people found that under the veil of "freedom", the delivery time of riders is infinitely oppressed by the platform's algorithm, which leads to frequent traffic accidents and provokes misunderstanding on riders by both merchants and customers. After being accused by public, takeaway companies had then introduced relevant policies to ensure riders' basic rights, but a guarantee to a safer urban workplace is also worth mention.

Tianhe District is a bustle and hustle district in Guangzhou.

Thousands of takeaway riders shuttle through the streets, battling against algorithms, racing against time. The project is located under Tianhe Bridge, known as "rider's temporary rest place", to transform fringe space of the city into a specific working area for takeaway riders.

17

Online Takeaway Platform Riders have fixed working hours and are strictly controlled by the platform's algorithm. Attracted by the gamification system of the platform, they believe in "more pay for more work". At the same time, some riders are attracted by the flexibility of the platform to do parttime jobs and earn extra money.

Peak & Off-peak Hour The algorithm puts tremendous pressure on the riders by endlessly limiting their delivery time. The number of orders surges in peak hours, and vice versa in off-peak hours. During peak hours, due to the meal preparation efficiency of merchants and the traffic situations during the delivery process, more time is wasted and more risks for riders. During off-peak hours, even if there is no order, the riders must remain online rather than go home for rest.

The Absence of Workplace It has caused increasing conflict between the development of information technology as well as online space and the offline space produced by traditional planning methods, which is greatly reflected in the “to”, every individual of riders, that connects two kinds of space. In other words, as an employee in O2O mode, riders conflict with the actual architectural space of the city.

Alienated Groups The attitude of the city can be seen in cases where riders belong nowhere when they are waiting for food produced by restaurants inside or outside of the storefronts occupying pedestrian spaces, those who wear a yellow or blue uniform are prohibited to enter office buildings and malls, or they are wandering around the city doing nothing as the still rider that is an outgrowth with no value. The right for riders to stay in spaces of the city has been taken.

18

No problem my fellas.

See you in 6-months

A1: What Riders Know

A2: What Riders Saw

A3: What Riders Have

A4&5: What Riders Need

For takeaway riders, the most familiar urban spaces are on both sides of the road, where they spend almost a whole day.

The street view is pulled and deformed by the speed during peak hour, and starts to repeat itself boringly during the off-peak hour.

Rider's equipment and motorcycles are their treasure during the transition between peak and off-peak hour, their "home on the road".

With the collage of street views and equipment, the rider's urban spaces are created, which then activated by their daily keywords.

05 Lyran-Terrans Earth Defender's Underground Info Center between Overt & Covert

Individual Work Tutor: Minfeng Yao Location: Tiwanaku City, Peru Competition Project 2022.05 ~ 2022.06 In May 2022, the U.S. Congress held a UFO hearing. The military spokesperson acknowledged the existence and visit of aliens through authoritative media, which brought a lot of discussions about extraterrestrial civilizations. Most of aliens' sighting place are related to prehistoric relics that have had a huge impact on architecture, technology, culture, and art in a certain cultural circle for a certain period of time. This can't help but make us wonder: Do extraterrestrial civilizations play an important role in the process of human evolution history?

Other non-secular functional cultures can also be worth mentioning: From the ancient documents of Egypt and Sumer, we find that the ancient builders were a group of highly skilled people, knowing the stars of the universe, the astronomical calendar, the mysteries of mathematics, the way materials are constructed, the meaning of symbols, and even the mechanism of the human body. Are there some secret interplanetary communication inside those relics of what was once an observatory, or earth information center?

Let us travel back to the relics of Tiwanaku City in BC 15000, study the ruins of the ancient observatory. Imagine a story that happened under the infiltration threat of the cosmic invader Fallen Angles (FA), the Earth guardians are preaching to their believers, observing the celestial phenomena, while at the same time, having secret connections with Guardian Alliance (GA) through astrology. A story of ancient double life.

Fallen Angles (FA)

Guardian Alliances(GA) SG-7 Earth Defenders

FA-Human Hybrids

Kathara Grid Lyran Wars, GA and FA

Fallen Human Rescue Peoject and Conspiracy

Tiwanaku City Underground Intelligence Center

The Kathara structure is the path of the expansion of the universe. It forms cosmic Star Gates connecting different dimensions, extends to the planet to form the planetary Star Gates, and extends to the biological body to form acupuncture points. It is the original geometric template, through which energy is transported layer by layer to support the existence of life.

The race of humans originally lived on the planet Tara in the sixth dimension. After the Lyran War, due to the intervention of FA, humans modified their genes and the Tara War broke out. With the destruction of the Kathara Grid in the human body, the human race fell to planet Earth, which accelerated the process of extinction.

In the ancient Lyra galaxy, one group of Lyran tampered with their genes, destroyed Kathara Grid inside the body and lost unlimited energy supply, followed by the Lyran War. The war destroyed the universe's star gates 11 and 12, leaving the universe in a crisis of energy depletion. The race degenerated into the Fallen Angles(FA), the first race to invade the universe for energy plunder. The remaining Lyran race formed the Guardians Alliances(GA), trying to help the universe get rid of the fate of extinction.

To prevent human beings from degenerating as FA did, GA adopted a plan called Biological Regenesis to help intensify human genes, enabling them to utilize the Star Gate on planet Earth to reshape human Kathara, eventually travel through dimensions and return to Tara. FA hopes to infiltrate human genes to manipulate Human noble families and dignitaries with lyran-terrans hybrids, thereby taking over human society, and using the Earth Star Gates to plunder energy.

Lake Titicaca is Earth Star Gate 7, next to which the ancestors of the Incas in Peru established Tiwanaku City. Craftsmen used rocks from lakesides and mines from mountains to build monolithic buildings, set up astronomical observatories and ritual centres to record celestial trajectories and to worship the sun. With the help of astronomy, geometry and architecture, Tiwanaku quickly became a well-known holy land, attracting crowds of visitors and believers.

People of Tiwanaku are drawing energy form ESG-7 to repair human Kathara. To battle with the threat of FA’s infiltration, under the guidance of GA, the defenders established a secret info center under the Kalasasaya Temple. While imparting Biological Regenesis technics to the visitors, they gathered information and stayed in touch with GA in secret.

Camouflage The astronomical observatory on the ground uses the part of the information centre protruding from the ground to record the exact time of the sun and Lyra. These protruding building volumes also function as ventilation ducts, light wells, and underground water wells, reinforcing the status of the holy land as the Stonehenge of Tiwanaku.

06 Aero-lantis Air Passenger's Ground Transportation Center between business and trip Group Work Group Members: Chuhan Xu, Yichen Yang Contribution: Concept(60%), Analysis(40%),Modeling(50%), Rendering(50%),Drawing(50%) Tutor: Minfeng Yao Location:Xiang'an, Xiamen, China(Mainland)

Graduate Project 2022.1 ~ 2022.6 Airport City was first proposed by Koninklijke Schiphol Group in the early 1990s, referring to the gradual evolution of the functions of an international airport into a comprehensive airport, combining facilities and services in passenger transport, logistics, leisure, business, residence and office, etc., to attract passengers to increase the economic activities of the airport and nearby areas, and form an intensive, distinctive special area or a comprehensive economic zone of industrial type.

Xiamen Xiang'an New Airport, as a transportation hub connecting Xiamen, JinMen and Quanzhou. The project draws on the successful experience of Jewel Changi. While meeting the traffic transfer needs of Xiang'an Airport T2 &T3 central plot, it conducts research on the business format of the airport economic zone and the surrounding ecology of AeroCity, serving as the external window, displaying marine coastal theme and characteristics of the city. A rainforest canyon scene with a sense of futuristic technology is set to establish the "city facade" of Xiamen. To business travellers, it is a place to "switch" between business affairs and entertainment vacations.

Chapter 1: First Step Home When Chen set foot in his old hometown, he recalled his father's wish.

"Switch" beyond Architecture During my five-year as an architecture student, I was making attempts to use different media to present my design.

I love animation because the combination of shots can enrich the story of the space. I once had the opportunity to lead my teammates to write scripts, develop storyboards, and refine modelling, rendering, editing and dubbing. Within two weeks, we presented an 8-minute animated short film in front of everyone and received many praises. The animation allows me to complete a switch in the mood of the story by switching the camera and light.

I like playing games, I like to study their fundamental rules, and I am very curious about the interaction between people and rules. In an on-site construction project, I tried to use a set of folding structures to create a transformation pattern, so that users who master this set of rules can create space of their favourites. In a competition related to the pandemic, I tried to create rules for quarantined people to affect the publicity of city streets. I try to learn about space interaction to achieve the purpose of space switching more directly.

Space-oriented design makes me satisfied and fulfilled because it is the most amusing way to show interaction with people, while at the same time the most direct way to express my thoughts on society.
