STUDY PODS

4 prefabricated study pods located at the courtyard. Surrounded by a shallow water feature that acts as a barrier, so people won’t be able to get too close to the pods, assuring privacy for the user inside for concentration in study or online classes.

Prefabricated top layer.

Metal grill for ventilation supported by steel frame.

LED light strip. LED screen supported by steel substructure attached on sheathing board. Desk.

Prefabricated concrete facade panel. Sheathing board. Insulation. Sheathing board. Carpet finish. Sliding door.

Dou Gong

Interlocking assemblage of wooden blocks.

Main Functions

Transferring roof loads evenly through the column to the foundation due to its symmetry Provides an earthquake-resistant function. This assembly can absorb both horizontal and vertical earthquake waves. Supports long span of cantilevered roof eaves.

the lowest dou takes the load off of its immediate upper gong, which is longer (almost double) than the lower one. new longer gong is projected outwards as a cantilever.

this process of arrangement is continued iteratively until it gets a reasonable height.

Diagram of load transfer from the top tier of DouGong down to the bottom, which will later transferred to the column underneath it is important to note that it is not only the length of a gong that increases as the iteration continues, but as well as the number of gongs.

Hence, the number of dou will also increase in number. This is to increase the stiffness of the structure.

Generative Process

Turmoil is the first by-product of projects and minds. A state of great confusion and hesitation. Questions arise, answers are ambiguous, and factors affect our thinking. Through experimentations and analysis, a much clearer image slowlt conjures up, but no project can ever be deemed as “finished” considering the inevitable constant changes in the surrounding factors. Endless possibilities and countless steps lead to more states of uncertainty. but maybe they would not be as forbidding as before.

Luminance in Spaces

Light in Architecture

“Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.”

- Le Corbusier

Architecture has been able to use Light- natural and artifical, in a multitude of meaningful ways. Light has been able to dictate how a space feels. It can evoke emotion and movement, and it brings emotional value to a space. Either by amplifying textures or isolating subjects, Light becomes an integral part of the design. Not to forget its significant otherShadow. Light illuminates the space, and Shadow manipulates how we perceive it.

The visual sense is an extentions of the tactile sense, and Light is the medium that reverbs forms, textures, and colours to our eyes. The relationship between Light and Architecture, and the shadows it creates, can give us a sense of visual awareness and induce different feelings and thoughts.

These artefacts represent how light can shift the atmosphere of a space. Pick up artefact, peek into the space, and rotate & play around with said artefact to experience the dimensional shift of a space.

Use natural light or artificial light to enhance your experienve- both are recommended.
