1 oak Sensory park chengdu, china OAK Sensory Park is a renovation project located at the edge of Chengdu's downtown district. Initially serving as a food-hub sunken retail square for surrounding residential towers, the new client purchased the property and aimed to create a "One of A Kind" modern shopping centre that combines food, entertainment and city-pop sports, such as surf skating.

The design scope of this project includes the underground retail plaza, the street-level plaza, and two existing buildings's facade.

It is a government-led office park project to attract more enterprises and foster local economic growth. Our design concept derives from Suzhou’s urban design philosophy - ‘city within a garden,’ integrating green spaces and sustainable practices into the urban fabric. The project provides flexible office modules to accommodate various businesses and company sizes, promoting a dynamic and collaborative business environment.

3 The front five massings will be placed horizontally along the riverside to generate broader view for those six towers at their back.

4 Adjusting all the massings’ position and height while adjusting angle of front five massings to embrace more nature and enjoy comfortable riverside view.

5 Creating corridors between massings while continuing to adjust volumes of front massings, to make three groups of massings open to the riverside.

6 Elevating riverside massings’ ground floors to embracing more greenery space, creating courtyards throughout massings to generate eco forest environment for the office.

4 MUSEUM OF BLUESTONE Volcanos distribution in VIC

Timeline Around 4.5 million years ago, volcanic explosions forced lava flows from Victoria’s western plains to where the Merri Creek and Yarra River now lie. The lava cooled and formed varieties of bluestone – a thick plate of material that underlays the current city. This project, a Museum of Bluestone, tells the story of one of Melbourne’s essential, characteristic building materials – and illuminates the relationship between deep-time and deep structures and current urban and cultural manifestations.

Lava flowed from the west and south-west of the state more or less to the point where the Merri Creek meets the Yarra River in Melbourne through the volcanic activity.

Wurdi Youang: These basalt stones were set in that area as astronomical markers.

From indigenous culture, bluestone was used for an eel trap system.

Museum Collection

During this period of time, pastoralists applied traditional dry wall technique to build stone boundaries that kept rabbits out of the farm.

Melbourne and bluestone are inextricable. From the start of Melbourne’s Goldrush, bluestone became one of the city’s critical building materials; it was plentiful and, cheap, durable. The stone was used for some houses and infrastructures - pavements, walls, gutters, and culverts. We can see and touch the bluestone in Melbourne daily; however, its very ‘ordinariness’ conceals the complexity and richness of its extractive histories.

Many small quarries

were opened up in Geological Heritage Melbourne’s Western Suburbs, people extracted the stone by hand with gunpowder, simple wood cranes and horse drays.

The situation of bluestone excavation become much better because people keep improving the strategies for excavating. At the beginning of the excavation history, working at quarries caused prisoners' negative emotions through limited tools, strict management and heavy workload. Nowadays, the working environment has become much better since machines can complete a lot of work safely and efficiently; for example, the stone crusher can crush stones and categorize them precisely into several groups.

This museum's program will include geological heritage, excavation and manufacture history, and innovative architectural components.

Bluestone is a good material since it varies in form for different purposes. Foundations of some buildings in Melbourne use bluestone before concrete; basalt was used as the ballast on ships during Victoria's early days; bluestone drywall helped pastoralists to protect their farm in the 1860s and 1870s. In contemporary buildings, bluestone is widely used for roof and exterior walls in shingle and cladding, and many laneway pavements are bluestone in Melbourne.

Applying cast basalt to the interior surface of the equipment to resist rust and make their life longer.

The Museum of Bluestone asks visitors to contemplate the materials city builders use. Bluestone takes millions of years to form but is destroyed in an instant. As the city grows with their use, the surface is mined and destroyed through its extraction.

Fortunately, people started to use recycled Bluestone and build some abandoned quarries into parks, gardens and reserves because they realized this issue. As a result, we can believe Bluestone can do more for the city in the future.

1. This form has been generated by the surrounding context.

2. Refer to the brief, each building block is divided into 3 floors, and the average height of floor is 8 meters.

3. Created an atrium by twisting floors and the exhibition space will approch the natural light.

4. The exterior form twisted as well, which is following the floors' twisting direction.

5. Decided the facade's location and this facade didn't need to cover whole buildings.

6. Inspired from Sol LeWitt's wall painting #260 and drew arcs. Decided the negative and positive space.

7. Reverse negative and positive parts to achieve more iterations.

8. Projected patterns onto the facade and promenade.

9. After applying the arcs iterations for the facade and promenade, adjusted patterns' scale and form to achieve a comfortable combination.
