nature amplifier

2021 spring international competition teamwork with xinwei chen, uc berkeley drawings are modified individually

immersion in nature is desperately longed for in modern times. sited on steep slopes of portuguese forest, the sleeping pods, along with other dwellings of vale de moses, are to become a destination for reconnecting with nature. the sleeping pod is an amplifier of nature: amplified experiences the touch of breezes, the sound of waving leaves, the shape of flowing water. it is a simple machine that captures and physicalizes the forces of nature. comfort and joy come with the total immersion in nature and fun interaction with nature.

the machine consists of three systems: the rigid timber structure, the flexible hanging cables, and the soft and volatile water canvas. rigid columns and beams support the cables that hangs a solid sleeping box: the box swings in the wind. Water changes shapes of the canvas as it comes and goes. The machine moves with nature.

the nature amplifier brings joy and appreciation of the nature while treating nature kindly. in the hanging sleeping box, inhabitant sleeps in gentle swing brought by the breeze, with the touch of wind on the soft hammocks that brings cool air from water stored below the box. the machine collects, stores, uses, and reuses water at its maximum capacity without consuming any other energy. here, beauty and pleasure come with environmental friendliness.

reuse the fallen church 2021 spring international competition individual design work

chiesa diruta is a catholic church built in Grottole, Italy in the 15th century, to host the local community of clergymen and residents. it suffered a lot of damages and has been abandoned. the fallen church is to be reused today as an event space for residents and tourists. the fallen church had, for over five hundred years, lived with sun and rain, the town and the people, and continues to live. the reconstruction is an insertion with respect. the arches are left to stand freely, the oculus to live under the sun, the grass to thrive on walls. the system of steel structure inserted inbetween the historic walls covered by a curved roof activates the fallen church through creation of protected yet open usable space. the insertion is temporal, the fallen church continues to live.
