‘Harmony’ Nature Resort ‘和諧’自然度假村 Isle of Wight, United Kingdom 英國 懷特島郡 ‘Harmony’ is a nature resort in the western tip of the Isle of Wight. It provides the local elderly population a place of leisure and identity, parallel to how the music festivals in the 70s gave the hippies a place of expression and belonging. Users escaped their busy lives to find liberty and serenity in nature, as well as new ways of understanding the relationship between love and nature.

‘Harmony’ is where users can truly experience what ‘freedom in nature’ means and the extent of its necessity to our wellbeing. Each visit hopes to evoke harmony between nature, people, and the resort, so that we can be challenged to reconsider the tension between political, economic, social gains and climate change, pollution that puts both ‘freedom’ and ‘nature’ at great risks.

‘和諧’自然度假村位於英國懷特島郡的西端。如同70年代嬉皮士在音樂節 所找到的歸屬感和表達出口，這個自然聖地給予島上的銀髮族一個充滿當 地文化特色的娛樂空間。來賓在此可以遠離平日忙碌的生活方式，在大自 然中得到寧靜和自由，重新體會愛跟自然的關係。 ‘和諧’度假村讓訪客親身體驗‘自然中的自由’和它對我們身心健康的重要 性。每次的經歷希望在自然、人類 和度假村三者中找到和諧，好讓我們重 新思考政治、經濟 、社會體制對自由和自然條件永無止盡的剝奪侵襲。

The average population age of the Isle of Wight is fairly high, where most residents lie between the age of 48 to 72. The elderly turned the island very peaceful and quiet, at the same time caused it to be lacking in energy and innovations.

Most settlements sit on the coast due to beautiful views into the ocean, and majority are located in the north and the east around the ferry ports. ‘Harmony’ Nature Resort aimed to serve the local elderly by providing them a place of leisure in nature, right on the western tip and away from the busy residential areas.

Users

We have spent five years of our retirement on the Isle of Wight. Apart from regular strolls along the beach and the hills, there really isn’t much you can do around here.

We were absolutely thrilled when the ‘Harmony’ Nature Resort opened, finally there comes a place where people like us can gather and be entertained.

As a senior citizen in wheelchair, there is very little I can do on the island. I love that the ‘Harmony’ Nature Resort is designed to accommodate a handful of common disabilities, such consideration allows people like me to attend and enjoy social gatherings with great ease and comfort.

We heard about the Isle of Wight’s incredible natural landscape and wanted to see for ourselves. We were very lucky to stay in the ‘Harmony’ Nature Resort, which gave us an eye-opening, ear-opening, nose-opening...and all kinds of opening experience in nature that we have never felt before.

easily accessible

safe + comfortable

the elderly are often restricted in movement, having easy access between spaces decreases risks and encourages beneficial activeness

the elderly are relatively prone to injuries and accidents, a safe and comfortable environment can bring a peace of mind during activities

appropriate stimulations in changing levels

sufficient resting opportunities

the elderly needs appropriate amount of dynamism to maintain their health and awareness

the elderly gets tired easily and requires resting points around a space and along a journey

Project Brief Nature, resort, and the users are the three main components of ‘Harmony’, each element influences another to form the design brief.

Nature is the resort’s identity, and the facilities provide leisure for the elderly. Users may find freedom and serenity in natural elements that we exploited and took for granted, and raise awareness to climate change issues that pose a real threat to these beautiful givens. Through an emmersive experience right by the Isle of Wight coastline, the local elderly population can find new ways of understanding and loving nature, while having fun and enjoying each other’s company.

From 2D to 3D Masterplan Rationale of Masterplan In 3D

Year 3 Project 3 ‘Harmony’ Nature Resort

Environmental : Views identity of the Isle of Wight

The step design allows unobstructed views toward nature at various levels.

Environmental : Wind ventilation + thermal comfort

The step reconciles with the prevailing wind flow, guiding it up each space to maximise the ventilation through.

Environmental : Sun light + thermal comfort

The receding roof allows unobstructed light and sufficient heat to enter each space.

Conceptual : Artificial Terrain ‘freedom in nature’

The layered design mimicks natural hills to celebrate the use of nature in built artificial products, so the line between natural and man-made is blurred for a more authentic experience.

Functional : Outdoor Amphitheatre inclined enough for unobstructed sightlines The artificial terrain acts as the seating for outdoor performances. The slope must be inclined enough for all audience to see the stage.

Functional : Camping Field flat enough to put up tents

The artificial terrain doubles as a camping field where audience could stay overnight. The slope must be flat enough to put up tents and to sleep on.

Wind-Wave Golf Resort ‘風浪’高爾夫度假村 Oxford, United Kingdom 英國 牛津 Wind-Wave Golf Resort, located in the Christ Church Meadow of Oxford, offers a complete experience in nature through feeling and visualising the effects of winds. The element itself is invisible to the eyes, but its strength, direction, and impact can be seen on moving objects and distorted forms. By attaching an aluminium net on the facade of a building, a series of wave-like pattern dance across the surface like a show performed by the wind. Around and inside the resort cabin, honeymoon couples can enjoy their time in the soft breeze, and watch it orchestrate a visual and musical performance on the surrounding grass, trees, and river. The Wind-Wave Golf Resort guarantees an experience in nature through the effects of the wind like no other in the world.

‘風浪’高爾夫度假村位於英國牛津的基督堂草坪，透過風在萬物留下的痕 跡和拂過身上的感受，提供新婚夫妻一個完全沉浸在大自然中的經歷。 風本身是無形的，但是它的強度、吹向和影響可以在移動的物件和扭曲 後的結構上被看見。當建築外皮被披上一層鋁網，一連串海浪般的圖型 便在表面上起舞，如同一場風所獻上的演出。新婚夫妻可以在客房的周 圍和室內享受微風徐徐的時光，同時欣賞一齣由風所導演，由草地、樹 木和河流所主演的視覺音樂饗宴。‘風浪’高爾夫度假村能讓來賓在大自然 中體驗一個獨一無二的‘風中奇緣’。

Sensorial Concept of Wind and Water

Sensorial Concept of Wind and Water

Project Focus The focus of this project starts from the sensorial of touching.

On the site, the only touching sense a body received was the wind on the skin rather than texture on the surfaces. The wind is touching sensorial which is unseen. Water texuture suggests the from of wind, in relation to the touching sensorial. Therefore, this project is focusing on studying the wind in relation to the variation of wind forces.

Water has a special proprty in the bond of its molecules. It changes its form according to the forces applied. The water surface texture can be catatorised into two buf types, according to the forces. First, is the gravity of the obstacles (wind with rain drops), and second is the wind friction. This creates two different texture: circular and lines.

‘Assemble’ Heater-Shelf ‘組合’電暖架 Domestic Setting 居家環境 ‘Assemble’ Heater-Shelf is the contemporary version of a fireplace in the domestic setting. The new object challenges its predecessor’s functions, design intentions, symbolic meanings, and psychological impact throughout history, and offers a design that reinterprets the above in today’s world. It marks the gathering point of domestic intimacy, embodies contemporary art trends, serves as a heating device, a functional shelf, and a lighting installation. ‘Assemble’ Heater-Shelf is a sculpture on its own, made up of flexible modular boxes that users can rearrange to their liking. It is not just a heat-giver, a light-provider, a wealth indicator, or an art decoration, but a combination of all that reconsiders relationship and the way of living in the current domestic settings.

‘組合’電暖架是傳統壁爐的現代版，它挑戰著前身以往的功能、設計理念 、象徵意義和心理學，用設計重新詮釋這些元素在這個時代的樣貌。它 標記著家庭的聚集點，將流行的風格具體化 ，又可以當暖爐、置物櫃 和燈飾來用。‘組合’電暖架自身是一件雕塑品，由一個個任隨使用者搬挪 的組合櫃所構成。它不僅僅只是個暖氣機，只是個照明，只是個經濟狀 況的象徵，或只是個藝術品，它結合了上述的特徵，並從設計中重新思 考現代的家庭關係和生活方式。

Step 3 Cut the Circle in Half The circle is cut in half to open up the interaction space with semi-defined boundaries.

Step 4 Mirror the Semicircle The semicircle is mirrored to increase the scale and potential of the object.

Step 5 Trim the Edge The mirrored end is trimmed so that it does not appear too long and overly symmetrical.

Step 6 Rearrange the Modules Random-selected modules of different sizes are rearranged to increase variation.

Internship | Summer 2019

Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt 暑期實習 London, United Kingdom 英國 倫敦 In the first half, I was put under a housing project that delivers 72 new homes at Plevna Crescent in Haringey. 4 cedar-cladded apartment blocks embraces the existing landscape and float on top of a grounded stone plinth, offering a mix of studio, 1, 2, 3 and 4-bed apartments. I rendered a perspective view and a bay elevation in photoshop, applying images of the proposed material to communicate its visual effects. I also drew up the plans and sections of the kitchens and bathrooms in the affordable housing block, and learned to layout, dimension, and annotate the drawings in response to specifications set out by the client.

In the second half, I worked on a student accommodation project in Sparkford that was already under construction. The BIM model of the design was done in Revit, so I got a small taste of the program to perform some adjustments to the common drawings. I drafted a few RCP options for the corridor, and completed a few MEP drawings for the communal spaces. In my spare time, I worked on some capacity studies, site modeling, and strategic diagrams for other onging projects. My passion and drive in architecture through working were recognised by the firm, resulting in some bonus that I have put towards my studies.

前三周我被排在負責倫敦哈林蓋自治市一個社區住宅的團隊內。我協助後製 兩張渲染圖，把不同的建材photoshop到建築物上。我也負責畫其中一棟社 會住宅的廚房和衛浴，學會了如何按照業主設立的規範繪製、排版和標示設 計圖。 後三周我被 安排在負責約維爾鎮一個學生宿舍的團隊內。由於在Revit裡已 經有了完整的建築資訊模型(BIM)，我不僅涉獵了這複雜的軟體，還幫忙修改 一些公共空間的設計圖。我擬了幾種天花板、燈飾及空調位置圖(RCP)讓組長 做選擇，還完成了幾張公設的機械、電氣和管道圖(MEP)。在空暇之餘，我做 了一些未來建案的可行性研究，完成了另一個建案的立體環境模型和設計策 略。從我工作的態度和方式中，公司察覺我對建築的熱愛與動力，隨即提供 一筆獎勵金給予實質肯定 ， 讓我更勇敢的去嘗試新的理念和方法。

Restaurant of the Future 未來膳房 Salo, Finland 芬蘭 薩洛 To prevent Salo from suffering under the hands of fast-paced technological developments a second time, this ‘Restaurant of the Future’ offers a journey of varying automation levels in the cooking and serving methods of a traditional Finnish seven-course meal. Both architecturally and experientially, the dining venue combines tradition with modernity, vernacular with contemporary, where visitors dine on the local-inspired menu in a spaceship-like environment of exposed tubes and complicated machineries. This prototype of its prospective counterpart aims to stir up conversation on the tension between handmade and machine-made products, and to raise awareness of the progressing technological developments more as an aid than a threat to the food industry.

為了避免薩洛再次敗在科技進步的掌心下，這‘未來膳房’專攻7道式傳統 芬蘭餐，每一道用不同的手工與機械程度來製作。在建築設計與用餐體 驗中，這家餐廳結合了傳統與現代，古老與至今，讓來賓在裸露的管道 和複雜的機械裝置中享受當地的風味餐，好比在太空船裡吃著媽媽煮的 家鄉菜。作為未來餐廳的榜樣，它意圖開啟探討手工製作與機械生產矛 盾的話題，同時提高人們對科技進步的意識，使它成為食品業的幫手， 而不是終結人力的殺手。

Site Analysis Vignettes The site sits at the heart of Salo amidst a large shopping mall, a public library, and a street of cafes and restaurants. It is currently a parking lot right by the river, with very little action but a large potential in store.

Other neighbours including the summer market, the Salo city council, and many independent retail stores. Due to its position and direct access to daylight and great views, opportunities for the site to gain attention is endless, and should be intelligently designed to use.

Restaurant of the Future a journey of culinary automation

Restaurant Manifesto The quick demise of Nokia proved that businesses relying on technology can be easily superseded. With the rise of artificial intelligence, many tasks and jobs will soon be automated by machines and robots.

To prevent Salo from suffering again under the hands of fast-paced technological developments, this ‘Restaurant of the Future’ offers a revolutionary dining experience where the food is prepared and served at different automation levels, allowing diners to form their opinions and preferences in the tension between handmade products and machine outputs.

Cave Climb 洞窟攀岩場 Oxford, United Kingdom 英國 牛津 ‘Cave Climb’ is a temporary pavilion situated in central Oxford that takes the form of a mining cave but serves as a climbing wall. The proposal aims to bring light to a superseded architectural typology, and to offer a timeless function that creatively adapts the existing structure. The external configuration is a solid box cut away by two photogrammetry meshes generated from images of the Hellfire Caves. The site boundary’s limit to a car park space posed great challenges for a function that generally requires a substantial volume, thus the internal was kept open with a pre-fabricated waffle structure. The inverted slant roof collects rainwater to be evaporated internally to create a dark, damp, and cold environment as if the users are climbing an actual cave.

‘洞窟攀岩場’是一個搭建在牛津市中心停車格內的臨時結構，它的樣貌好 比一座礦坑，但功能卻是個攀岩牆。這個案子試圖給過時的空間一個新 的目的，讓一個不易被取代的功用附著在原本的結構上，不白費當時建 造的時間與資源，不浪費它所佔的可用空間，同時省下拆除與重建所製 造的汙染與廢棄物。外型是由兩副在‘地獄之火礦坑’用攝影測量技術產生 的模型，切開停車格大小的箱子所成。由於建地範圍侷限於一個車位的 大小，攀岩場又需寬敞的空間，木造格狀結構讓整個室內挑高挑空。反 摺屋頂接下的雨水被儲存在厚重的水泥底座裡，不僅增加整體結構的穩 固性，又可以利用水留下牆面的過程來模擬自然洞窟中的濕冷氣氛。

Game On 開打吧 !

Oxford, United Kingdom 英國 牛津 ‘Game On’ is a board game cafe designed to operate alongside the new Cowley train station. Sitting between a heavily privatized industrial zone and a crime-filled residential area, the cafe provides a safe, fun, and learning venue for the Blackbird Leys community to bond and spend time in, at the same time serves as an attraction where visitors discover the asset the area has to offer the locals’ stories. A range of life-sized games are available on site for residents, visitors, passengers, and industrial workers to enjoy, and they are open to all ages, any number of players, and can start, pause, or continue anytime. The proposal aims to encourage social interaction in the midst of game-playing fun within a dark, unwelcoming region long forgotten and overshadowed by the renowned universtiy campuses.

‘開打吧’是個位在牛津邊界一個新車站裡的桌遊咖啡廳。夾在一堆生產工 廠和一個聲名狼藉的社區中，此咖啡廳提供居民一個安全、娛樂 、學 習和社交機會的空間，同時兼具當地的觀光景點，透過居民的故事讓外 地人不再對這個區域產生偏見。一系列真人放大版的桌遊連接著浩大的 建地，不只居民、旅客和工人可以享受，任何國籍 、職業 、性別、宗教 的大大小小都可以在此玩得開心。不管是室內的桌遊還是室外的玩區， 此建案讓訪客在玩樂中找到單純的社交模式，讓這塊被汙名化、被遺忘 的土地不再處於牛津大學聲譽的陰影中。

The Tree Terrace 木之玄關 Oxford, United Kingdom 英國 牛津 ‘The Tree Terrace’ is the foyer to the performance theatre at the Harcourt Hill campus. It welcomes university students, staffs, local residents, and visitors alike into the building, and provides a place of transition between the natural grassy hills and the built show venue. Audience and performers engage in social activities across two levels showered with daylight and magnificent views beyond, credited to the glass facade supported by a robust triangular steel structure. The form takes the shape of a tree due to its functions and symbolic meanings in nature. As a shelter from the sun, the wind, the rain, and as a great venue for resting, gathering, and socialising, a tree’s many uses coincide perfectly with the requirements of a theatre foyer. As a result, ‘The Tree Terrace’ is designed to be an artificial reinterpretation of its natural counterpart.

‘木之玄關’是通往Harcourt Hill演藝中心的大廳。它歡迎著學生、教職員、 當地居民和訪客進入室內，提供從草坪丘陵切換到人工建設的空間媒 介。沐浴在陽光和自然景致的一、二樓讓觀眾與表演者在演出前後的空 暇做交流。建築的外型和設計理念從一棵生長千年的樹木取靈感，樹是 個天然庇護所，也是讓人乘涼 、聚集與社交的好地方，它古今中外的功 能恰好滿足一個演藝大廳的需求。因此，‘木之玄關’是棵為表演者及觀眾 遮風避雨、結合自然與人工、給予舒適的休息交流空間的人造樹。

Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt 暑期實習 London, United Kingdom 英國 倫敦 I designed four iterations of a canteen in the loft space above the old Basingstoke studio, which allows the employees to hangout and eat communally away from their working desks. Through this project, I learned the basics of SketchUp and V-Ray rendering.

The proposal in Fig. 1 is a continuous structure that blends the separation of floor, seating, table, compartment, and kitchen set. The design in Fig. 2 is inspired by hamster balls that suggest festival fun admist the serious office atmosphere. The chairs in Fig. 3 mimick the swing set we played in our childhood. And the tables in Fig. 4 can be adjusted in height to increase the number of seats available.

事務所希望將貝辛斯托克總公司的閣樓改成休息用膳的空間，好讓員工 在中午可以有個舒適地點一起吃飯聊天。透過這個設計案，我學會了 SketchUp和V-Ray的基本操作方式。 圖示一是一個連貫的結構，模糊了地板、座椅、餐桌、隔間和廚房設備 的界線。圖示二是藉由草地飛球的外型，為嚴肅的辦公室氣氛增添幾分 遊樂園的樂趣。圖示三中懸空的椅子，就像小時候玩的鞦韆。而圖示四 中的桌子可以自由升降來增加座椅的面積。
