Site

The site is full of high-rise buildings and constant traffic flow. The old buildings, the traces of time, the dilapidated backstreets and the foul drains next to the department store reveal that the East Side no longer represents the top of the fashionable living area. Over the past two decades the East End has slowly ceased to be a bustling district, with some areas still having a quiet flavour and small stylish stores.

●Perspective within Bauhaus

Converting Bauhaus' architectural vocabulary; jumping out of the frame to create something new. It opens the campus moderately, so that people can freely organise various small activities.

●Section B S=1:1000

Ideation

Bauhaus is famous for its teaching method of learning through experimentation. It piorneed the concept of artists and craftsman serving as teachers at the same time. This education method, which emphasises theory and practice, has influenced the later design of universal education. We will explore campus space in an innovative and experimental way.

Used geometrically derived graphics to fragment and discover unit space, allowing for basic analysis to scope the reconstruction.

● Day Scene

The view on the outdoor hallway, provides students a platform to stay and gather in the space.

Kept the bottom of the building empty and raised it so that independent units with different sizes could float above the ground.

Interspersed horizontal and vertical frame features to show the form changes of contemporary aesthetics.

Spatial Units And Typologies

The initial studies for spatial systems, robotic systems, and computational algorithms laid the foundation for spatial exploration, establishing a framework of constraints and rules to guide further geometric investigations. The grid system extends across the site, effectively allocating spatial functions within evolving communities. The potential for multi-scale geometries using individual cells and multiples of cells was also explored, ensuring adaptability to varying spatial requirements.

● Grid compliance analysis of different geometries

● Human - Geometry Scale Comparison

● WFC Connection Explorations - Orthogonally and Diagonally

Geometry Development

The catalogue of spatial units is organized into four distinct categories: primary units, connection units, public feature units, and double height and stairs units. The primary set of units, in conjunction with connecting units, as well as double height and stairs units, is utilized in the construction of all building typologies. Additionally, in the construction of typologies beyond housing, the public feature units come into play, contributing to the diverse array of architectural configurations.

Introduction

We studied various precedent case studies to In our demonstrative project scenario, we integrated all our research threads – spatial units and typologies, lightweight prefabricated monocoque structures, robotic systems, and computational algorithms. The project’s aim aligns with our research objective: to rehabilitate refugees using a modular construction system that can be assembled, disassembled, and reconfigured by a fleet of large-scale robots. This transformation from temporary to long-term solutions unfolds over three distinct phases within the (re)2 BOT project demonstration.

Simulation Sequence To Construct A Temporary Housing

To achieve optimal stability, the robotic arm prototype design underwent simulation in Unity with adjustments to M(r) (Mass of Robot) and M(s) (Mass of Spatial Unit). Four distinct variations of the robotic base were analyzed across three scenarios: when M(r) was greater than M(s), when M(r) equaled M(s), and when M(r) was less than M(s). This comprehensive assessment aimed to determine the most stable configuration under various mass conditions, providing valuable insights into the design’s robustness and performance.
