The Architecture Concept

The Tibet winery museum is an extension project of the Zangdong Treasure Wine Industry. The Museum is located in the eastern part of Tibet and the upper reaches of the Lancang River. It is the east gate of the Tibet Autonomous Region. The museum is surrounded by vineyards on Eastside and mountains on Westside.

The building rises from the ground as an abstract architectural gesture following the geometrical forms distinguishing from nature, taking a subtle sculptural quality of its own. We don’t try to define a vernacular identity but rather a universal identity, free of false stereotypes.

We elaborated the distinction between ‘served’ and ‘servant spaces’, with great central public space and auxiliary spaces nestled into thick outside walls. The circular monument needn’t be constructed from solid stone, it can be hollow. The museum take advantage of the curvy geometry to create stunning spaces.

INTRODUCTION

The Fall 2020 Core 3 architecture studios are focusing on housing in the Melrose neighborhood in the South Bronx, NYC.

The “Living Rooms Housing” project grounds a broad and heterogeneous notion of housing as everything within a constrained architectural focus on the interrelated components of housing: rooms. We mine its potential to produce new forms of domesticity and collectivities in architecture. As a corollary to the room, our project also focuses on the contemporary definition of poché.

Through the site investigation, we find that a large area of public space in the Bronx is facing vandalism and inaccessibility, so we generate inner public space by curving out from residential towers. The inner large public space is broken down into smaller communal courtyard spaces with individual personalities. There are some hinge spaces carved out from each residential towers, which are served as public intimate rooms. Therefore, we get an exterior room catalog, rooms for a community event, rooms for a small gathering, and rooms for an intimate conversation.

When we carve out void and living space, the two different grids will come out with some smaller gap space between outside and inside. In a conventional context, they usually are regarded as thickness poché, but we try to treat poché as a living gap room instead of a solid wall. We defined them as intimate third space. Not only define rooms from the outside in, we also design them from the inside out. This diagram shows the catalog of those third space abstracted from plans. The depth of those intimate space is all under 10 feet. They could be windows and balconies. We classify those intimate space in a different hierarchy based on the depth of them.

ROOM FOR COMMUNITY EVENT ROOM FOR WINDOW / BALCONY CATALOGE

We have many cantilever hinge space, so we come up with checkboard opening pattern that cooperated with structural design. This diagram shows one portion of the facade. You could see the overlapping structure, post-tension cables hidden inside the prefabricated sheath walls, which offer a column free space. There are two different grids. As for the generic one, the window following this grid and paralleling with the street, would be in large and rectangular opening. As for those windows that follow the diagonal grid, they are in a carve out shape.

MET CLOISTER RENOVATION

2023 Fall ADVANCE VI

Individual Work Advisor: Juan Herreros

The new cloister challenge the conventional power and authority of museums that traditionally exhibit treasures collected from overseas. Instead, the new Met Cloister will serve as a bridge that narrows the distance between the community and the museum. Moreover, the new Met Cloister will play a vital role in reflecting the diversity and voices of the people within

Site Map of Met Cloister

their collections and surrounding communities. Many of the religious fragments that comprise the Met Cloister collection were originally sourced from various monasteries and cloisters constructed along the Camino de Santiago, a sacred pilgrims' route. These fragments were later compiled into what we now recognize as the Met Cloister.

The architects who designed the Met Cloister used a trick with materiality to blend the original fragments with new construction, creating a seamless sense of homogeneity throughout the museum. This is exemplified by the Cuxa cloister, here is a unfolding drawing show the oringinal fragments, but it is almost impossible to differentiate between the original fragments and new constructions in reality.

When I examine the history of medieval cloisters, I discover a strong affinity between the local community and these religious institutions, which provided both practical services and spiritual support to the secular world. However, this tight affinity between the local community and the Met Cloister has disintegrated in modern times. The museum now primarily functions as a showroom that exhibits fragile fragments from Europe, further distancing the institution from its local communities.

The entrance of museum is extruded by curvy and oblique walls, the experiment is similar to the split rocks. Then visitors will enter a bright and open lounge with the reception. The zigzag corridor will introduce people to two different exhibition hall. The structure of one faced to the east is exposed, curator could take advantage of the flexible space, like setting exhibition walls between each columns. Thinking about the rainwater, the inverted cone roof with gullet could drain rainwater into the mini courtyard inside the module.

There is also a larger courtyard inside the exhibition hall. The whole space was divide by the timber wall into a loop sequence, also with some separate cells for video display and mechanical purpose. The end of the corridor is the restrooms and staff office.

The section cut of exhibition hall with inverted roof aperture shows how the light shape the space, and the distribution of mini courtyard for the drain of rainwater. The roof was constructed and covered by the wood tiles, which is similar to the wigwam. The structure here was hidden and covered by the plywood.

Render of Exhibition rooms

Over the last 20 years of China’s rapid urbanization, roughly one million villages have vanished. Young people move to big cities, and thousands of hollowed out villages face elimination.

The renovation project “Library on Terrace” took place in China’s southeastern inland, an area dominated by hills.

The project rests on the old site of the Villagers’ Hall. It took the form of a 35m x 23m three-story space. The previously closed hall structure is now more open, thus corresponding to the openness of the surrounding landscape.

STRUCTURE

These columns are connected with beams, each of which is a lap scarf of the other, forming a weave-like system. The horizontal connection between units provides a stable stress system — the more compressed the structure, the more stable it becomes.

The layout of this small public library is unrestrained and open. The axis intertwines with the tree columns, and the setting of the furniture and the stairs intertwines with the axis, creating a complexity between vision and the experience of intra-dimensional accessibility, tranquility and openness, as well as a sense of containment and transparency.

TREE COLUMN SYSTEM

Every series of multiple columns consists of a tree-like structured system. The load is transferred vertically but can be also directed into the horizontal grid system, and torque forces offset each other.

EXPERIENCE OF SPACE

The ground floor of the building is elevated, with two paths connecting adjacent platforms. The first floor is covered with coarse slate. Visitors enter the library through the glass door. After passing through the translucent door, the floor covering transforms into terrazzo — a transition from outside to inside, from rough to subtle.

DETAIL

A small amount of fully-transparent or semi-transparent materials, such as glass , serve as the background of the traditional wooden structures. The triangle glass window can be open from inside. The spatial division and organization still exist and is reinforced by the distinct forms and contrasts with the traditional materials.

The proposed design for the school is aimed at creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment. The design takes into account the surrounding buildings and follows the original 'H' plan to blend in with the context. However, the design also incorporates several twisting atriums that penetrate the old system, creating an animation of the school's inner space that contrasts with the outside.

The goal is to build spatial coherence between the atriums and the programs that are hung on them, while also demonstrating how dynamic objects can interfere with the inner space.

The physical conception model of the school creates an overview of one of the atriums, showing how the transformation of the thickness of the wall shapes the space. Thin walls divide the space, while thick walls contain chambers. The difference in programs also controls the thickness of the walls, and the sectional collage encourages the creation of dynamic space.

REUSE ITALY

The Piscina Mirabilis Contemporary Art Museum celebrates the infinite cycle of water in the poignant reflection of a bygone era while interfacing with the present time. The new programme is envisaged as a vessel of programs contained in a proposed structure over the 'ruin' of the column forest buried below. The new structure floating above serves as an additional threshold for the existing monumental space, compelling viewers before and after their meditative exploration within the reservoir. In constant dialogue with the ruin, the dense structure filters light, organizes water and hosts new programs, bringing added layers of purpose to the ruin.

The new structure becomes the interstitial space to experience contemporary art and the ruins. Oriented at the centre of the courtyard, the pool with a clear glass base will contain rainwater collected by the roof, it meanwhile acts as the aperture of the ruins below it.The entirety of the holistic programme serves as a vehicle of integration between the past and the present, antiquity and modernity, oneself with all of humanity.

Introduction

Positioned in the center of the Science and Technology Innovation Corridor of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong KongMacao, Songshan Lake area stays in the base for major scientific installations and the high-tech industrial park cluster. The project aims to set up an exclusive platform for Scientists, technologists and financial figures in order to optimize the conference service in the Songshan Lake Park, including conference center, concert hall, hotel and financial center. The site, embraced by the lake, lies at the lakefront of the core ecological circle of Songshan Lake, with lush vegetation and excellent scenery. Topography of the site is relatively higher in the center while lower around the perimeter.

In response to the site topography and natural planting, the design is divided into four regions to layout the architectural complex with different functions as required by the design brief. Incorporate with their respective site characteristics, each building responds to its unique spirit of the place in different ways.

The design begins with the deep feeling of the lush vegetation on the island. The subtropical climate creates a sense of jungle where plants grow wild. The characteristics of the jungle lie in the strength of natural force and the sense of privacy of the path.

Introduction

The site of the Shenzhen Mangrove Wetland Museum is located on the upper cover of the Qiaocheng East depot of Metro Line 9. Below it is the urban infrastructure that is not open to the public. The east side is adjacent to the Futian Water Quality Purification Plant, and the south side faces Shenzhen Bay and the Mangrove Wetland Reserve. , the special geographical location and the surrounding single urban functions make this place an isolated island. Its relatively negative urban attributes determine that the museum should not only have an eye-catching architectural form, but also create multiple and complex functions to connect the originally separated In the surrounding area, the activation of urban life here has become an important part of forming a complete gridded green ecological system and urban cultural public space in the entire area.

AARHUS STADIUM

The new Aarhus Stadium interprets and celebrates the unique atmosphere in Kongelunden. It contributes to a sense of place and a collective memory of magic by responding to its context. Withs its location in the lush ancient beech forest, vicinity to the rich coastline, and in a strong connection to the city, the new stadium invites everyone to experience Kongelunden in new ways and unites nature, history, urban life, and the community of sports. In the evening the stadium reflects a warm light– a golden shine that radiates from the clearing, illuminating the treetops, expressing pride and the exhilarating sense of victory.

and reduce summer overheating.

MICROCLIMATE

The term microclimate concerns the local weather conditions, for instance parameters as wind, temperature, solar etc. in close proximity to the stadium. The localized climate conditions are strongly affected by the surrounding buildings and variations in the landscape levels. To achieve the best spectator experience when visiting the stadium, the microclimatic conditions both surrounding and within the stadium bowl has been considered in the design process, with the aim to maximize outdoor comfort and reduce summer overheating. Furthermore, the growth of the grass on the pitch can be encouraged by the microclimatic conditions.

The stadium bowl is made up from a modular, highly repetitive construction kit of precast concrete elements. This forms a robust and highly functional structure and enables a fast installation process on site, allowing for a minimized impact on the Aarhus stadium operations during construction. Modularity also fosters the potential for a reuse of the elements at the structure’s end of life, supporting a Circular Economy in the construction sector. The stadium grid has been optimized regarding spans especially for the precast concrete steps and total number of elements, leading to a regular grid with 8m spans.

Analyzing local climate weather conditions shows, that the dominating wind direction is from west and south-west. In the western part of the site the existing arena-building and threes shelters the stadium and breaks the wind to reduce wind speed and turbulence. Furthermore, the variation in of the terrain levels helps reducing the wind-tunnel effect. To achieve comfortable conditions within the stadium-bowl the entire stadium-bowl is equipped with vertical transparent membrane that follows the structure, which significantly reduces the risk of uncomfortable wind conditions for the spectators. Furthermore, the slope of the roof construction deflects the airflows in minor upward direction.

construction (overhang) with transparent sheltering membrane, thus allowing light to penetrate the roof to some extent while significantly reducing the direct solar radiation. The vertical membrane following the structure at the outer perimeter at level 4 is significantly more transparent since the direct solar radiation is low, which allows for more light to penetrate the membrane.

OVERVIEW

A holistic design approach integrating the various disciplines and equally considering functional, architectural, environmental and economic requirements has been applied to the development of the Aarhus Stadium structure.

Through the choice of efficient structural systems with optimized geometries and suitable material selections a structural system has evolved throughout the design process which offers the highest level of functionality for a state-of-the art stadium while at the same time minimizing construction cost and resource input.

The following image gives an overview of the stadium elements and their building types and materials. All elements will be described in more detail on the following pages.

CONCEPT

Zicheng as the City Hall of ancient Jiaxing city, built 1700 years ago, is the only preserved gatehouse in China Jiaxing City. The ruin mainly includes ancient pavement bricks from Qing and Ming dynasty with tremendous archaeological v·alue.

Just like a mountain, half of the museum is under the ground . Through the museum’s window, tourists can only view the relic and exhibition underground; they can not enter the architecture from the facade, since the entrance to building is on the roof, which is both a plaza and an entrance. Tourists ramble from the sculpture stair down to the relic.Passing through columns of tensegrity seems like walking through in a forest.

THE PROCESS OF INSTALLATION

TENSEGRITY STRUCTURE

Tensegrity is a structural principle based on the use of isolated component under compression inside a network of continuous tension, in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other and the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially.

Tensegrity is a kind of extremely highefficient structure, which cover a large area with a minimum of materials. The structure integrity based on the combination of a few simple design patterns expresses mechanical stability, and allow the members to remain in tension/compression as stress on the structure increases. Features complement adaptive architecture

ROLE IN TEAM: Concept Design & Structure Design & Plan & Diagram

CONCEPT

Our ancestor used to live in cave, where his heart and soul connect direcrly to the mother nature. But human being has disconnected with nature for a long time since we started living in boxes. Hard edges and cold corners have hindered our senses, we become clumsy in sensing the nature. The bath design therefore wishes to re-establish this long lost relationship with nature. It takes the form of sea snail shell, its internal cavity is generated through intertwining two spiral volumes into each other. The bath is where we nake ourselves, like the invulnerable snail in its shell, to let our heart and soul be as one with nature.

EXPERIENCE

There is a sequence of experiences before people arrive the center of the bath, which is defined by varied floor levels. Raw stone become chairs, tables or even steps.

When people approach the center bath, he must bend down to step over a low entrance, which is not only the portal connecting inside and outside natures, but also the key point for people to choose between two baths with entirely different spatial experience and atmosphere.

Paper umbrella is a Chinese traditional craft. It contains deep culture values. Umbrella is not merely an object, it also represents a space. This design tries to destroy the sign and objecthood of traditional paper umbrella, to convert it as abstract surface to generate fluid space.

FORM

The Paper Pavilion is a multi-disciplinary project, combines product design and architectural design. Bamboo is used as the main material, which creates a beautiful structural space. The product is a modular system, a single module can be used as a stand-alone pavilion, or several modules can be combined into a continuous pavilion system. The fluid surface also can collect rainwater down into the flower bed.
