Consciousness Container Consciousness, does not appear to itself as chopped up in bits ... it is nothing joined; it flows. A 'river' or a 'stream' are the metaphors by which it is most naturally described. In talking of it hereafter, let's call it the stream of thought, consciousness, or subjective life.

SITE ANALYSIS

DESIGN CONCEPT

T

amsui is an area that is rich in the composition of people. On weekends, tons of tourists squeeze into this area to spend their time and enjoy the magnificent sunset beside the river. Since there are multiple types of people, every kind of person tends to have a totally different and unique image while experiencing a different part of Tamsui, this also builds up a high variety of place-consciousness in this area. Some of the place-consciousness might make the user feel uncomfortable or even stress out. To reconstruct the negative space experiments within the narrow alley and the dark corner in the market. The design of this church reappears the negative section but creates a positive place-consciousness by using architectural methods and crucially the quality of light control. Attempt to let the positive image spread to the market nearby, letting people reconsider a good way on the conscious level of walking through the market.

PLACE-CONSCIOUSNESS Place is a reflection of the human experience on a location and is a human perception that both teaches and defines us. It is a combination of the physical characteristics of a location and the personal and human connections that we make to it. Place is not defined by size, and can encompass a chair in a living room or an entire city. Greenwood and de Carteret have shown that there is a symbiotic relationship between individuals and space: people make places and places help to make people.

INTRO Micro Society

"After the door is closed, it has nothing to do with the neighbors. The privacy and security of each house are very good, but there is no so-called sociality at all."

CONCEPT

I

n post-pandemic era, a heated debate about “whether the spaces in housing are still qualified” have been raised by architects. the linking between living unit spaces and public spaces back in the day is highly separated. For instance, every kind of event in daily life requires people to step out of their house into an entire public area, and every time one does that, they gain more chances to get infected by the various carriers.

-lower risk -home economy -social distance -micro society -self-supply

Micro society is a resolution of healthy living space in post-pandemic era, the main idea is to diverse spaces into layers according to the size of space and number of people that the event require. In this way, resident in this society can acess the less people they need and also achieve their intention. In other words, it strongly reduce the incidence of getting infected.

In this project, I tried to create a self-sustainable community with spaces that offer every kind of daily event within it. According to the number of users at a time, all the spaces were divided into four sizes from S to XL, in this way residents can risk the less and also accomplish their daily routine.

Each of the diamond units was manufactured and inflated independently. By using the method “skip iron” to reduce the possibility of air leak while poking bunch of holes on diamonds that connect with the air faucet.

Stage I

Iron (width 1.2cm)

Tape (5cm)

To create plastic barrel units, iron two pieces of plastic together in width of 1.2cm, maintain 5cm of stomata each in the top and bottom to make sure the air inside the middle part is coherent and doesn’t big enough to sabotage the shape of plastic barrel units while inflating.

After ironing, use tapes to reduce any possibilities of air leak.

Stage II

Wide tape (30cm)

Paste upper and lower parts of muscles smoothly on the middle part (plastic barrel units). Use wide tape(30cm) to cover the whole part of the muscles to stick on plastic barrels.

Stage III Finally, iron around the edges of two pieces of plastic to create an entire closed airbag. After ironing, use tapes to reduce any possibilities of air leak.

Senegal Children’s House Kaira Loore competition The challenge of 2022's edition is to design a ‘Children’s House’ in Senegal, as a warm and welcoming place where activities aimed at preventing child malnutrition can be carried out in a rural environment. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow; allowing them to develop properly is essential in order to build a better future.

Compare to solid mass plan, space construct with frame offer a playful and multiple space usage.

Interior space requirment.

Volumes split to creat space between.

Insert the cardinal priciple we believe that children should conduct.

Scatter frame structure to expand the sense of palyful.

e believe that the cardinal value of childhood is to “play”. Conceivably, children not only can discover their interests during playtime, but they can also master social skills by meeting friends and encountering interpersonal connection problems. Most importantly, making children capable to think from a creative and unique perspective is undoubtedly beneficial to the process when they are developing their interests. Only when children are interested in the field they plowed in, can they have a high chance to contribute well to society, and this is the main concept that this project wants to display.

INTRO Machenical Mutation A project based on studying mechanical unit’s typology matters in single unit perform and group behaviors that create different space quality.

*MUTATION HAPPENS in ANIMALS Hromatophores are organs that are present in the skin of octopuses, which contain pigment sacs that become more visible as small radial muscles pull the sac open making the pigment expand under the skin to imitate suroundings.

By doing this, octopuses get away from preditors efficiently.

INTRO Applicable Apple Inc. has a hierarchical organizational structure, with notable divisional characteristics and a weak functional matrix. The hierarchy is a traditional structural feature in business organizations. According to the hierarchical organizational structure of Apple, the exoskeleton structure in this design create free plan to match company needs.

T

The divisional characteristics refer to the product-based grouping within Apple, such as for iOS and macOS. Considering this kind of divisional organizational structure, employees respond to products directly, the office spaces inside this building are also designed according to that. The function of each layer is distributed based on different departments, free floor plan creates a convenient traffic flow allows workers to have effective communication with each other and have a better understanding of what other departments are processing through giant screens penetrating floors and floors. in addition, the space separate from the main building offers a creative and relaxed atmosphere letting any brainstorming of business cooperation happen here.

his design is mainly based on three aisle systems, and their individual orientation, to bring together the flow of the whole warm garden.

The flow of people and the three visiting routes that export to the animal area.

Join conveyor belts and sell individual travel to animal areas feed to enhance overall directionality. After analysis, it was decided to set the base in a warm garden. The largest flow node in the city, in order to effectively improve the people here The problem of stream confusion.

It mainly uses the directionality of sight shrinkage to achieve path guidance. effect, enabling pedestrians to understand the entire movement and the places, paths overlap to increase the variety of usage behaviors, then add the concept of the front sunroof to make all the plastic panels flat. Line take structural glass as the main construction method to highlight the overall void interim effect.

Finally add the sale of fodder and food, people conveyor belts and buildings Its eye-catching volume is used as an attraction, allowing tourists to automatically put themselves Incorporated into this designed system without realizing it.
