This architectural design studio introduces a design strategy using three entities: gure, liner and shell. The gures are located inside the liner, with varying orientation aected by multiple gravities. The liner is located inside the shell, acting as a secondary container. The shell is a monolithic mutelooking massing, which hide the multi-gravity world inside. By simple addition and subtraction of the gures, liner and massing, we are creating spaces that are not separated from each other, but interact with each other. For design of the shell, we rendered the building’s interior gures and reproject the rendering to the shell to form the patterns. So the nal patterns on shell are quite displacement of interior programs, resulting mysterious and bizarre interior experience. The materials are carefully selected: - metal material makes the shell reect the environment, let the building mute and disappear; - black material between the shell and liner/gure emphasizes the totally dierent inner world with multiple gravities. - metal material re-appears inside the gures, representing the smaller worlds inside the giant black inner world.
