project 1. project 1 brings out one sacred object to be analyzed based on both experience and research, then correlated with the use of that sacred object in six sacred places

fū 風

3

fu is the one of five japanese elements, which means wind

it represent things that moves, have freedom, that creates everything out of nothing

4

fu is not just wind; it is motion, change, growth, and breath

it fills everything, silent but loud, harmless but strong

5

6

to fully realize how sacred the wind is, it must be felt through personal experience the wind can move the curtain, as if it is a paranormal activity the wind can drag a fragrance of flower, even from far away the wind can speak through air, without even revealing itself the wind can push the body, but it is not harmful at all it is so sacred because something invisible could be so alive at the same time

about senses

architecture has lost its opacity, depthness, tectonics, mystery, and sensory invitation, because the user only rely on sight. sight is the most deceiving of all senses.

among all the senses, touch is the most fundamental. it is the purest form of human interaction since birth. touch is the base of all senses. vision, taste, smell, and hearing is just the extension of touch.

hapticity and time by juhan pallasmaa

10

what if now we twist the theory? instead of using the most powerful sense, we try to collaborate with the most deceiving, which is sight.

wind can be sensed by touch, hearing, and smell, but it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sensed with sight. the wind only let us see the effect it creates on a visible object.

but what if ... wind itself is made visible and can be used as architecture elements?

11

study case.

12

six cases in which each uses the wind in a different ways to establish a different sacred purpose

13

teshima art museum

by ryue nishizawa

14

teshima Art Museum is dedicated to â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothingâ&#x20AC;?. it is a place where people can reflect or meditate. sometimes it took just a vast space of emptiness to be something so sacred.

15

air is an invisible sacred object that fills everything it can fill, gives life to everything it can give. while it is invisible, its effect is more than visible. a single blow of wind could mesmerize a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole mind. air is what contains the body, the mind, and the soul. Without air there is no soul, thus no mind, and no body.

the framing of sacred space by j. bogdanovic

16

17

the â&#x20AC;&#x153;materialâ&#x20AC;? inside the teshima art museum is also air, same on the outside

the wind blows through the hole, strongest as it enters, but weaker when it spreads inside

even when the wind is not visible, the effect is visible. people can find peace staring at the string blowed by the wind, therefore feeling something sacred has moved the string.

architecture as air : study for château la coste

by junya ishigami

23

the purpose of this installation is to challenge the meaning of tectonics and visibility, to create a new sense of transparency, a building of air. a sacred place where you need to get close to see and feel.

24

air is emptiness, but it creates the borders and the frames of space. because of emptiness, we know what is not. it is sacred not because of its form, but because it is everywhere but silent, waiting for the right time to reveal itself.

sacred air by nicholas samaras

25

26

the air represents emptiness because at a distance the installation is not visible, so what stands out is the space around it.

the air becomes bold at near, as the installation reveals itself, so what stands out is the air itself

mist encounter

by ling li tseng

32

an mist will arise from the outer square and draw visitors to come closer. As visitors walk to the centre, they will be gradually covered by the mist, and things will appear and disappear as the mist alternately gets heavier and lighter. a play of visibile and invisible.

33

the ancients, when they speak of air, they speak of something holy and sacred. the air chooses the fate of every living thing. if it chooses to hide the birds, then the birds will be hidden. if it chooses to hide the body, then the body will be hidden.

35

the mist gets thicker in the middle, like the tabernacle it has the most â&#x20AC;&#x153;holyâ&#x20AC;? spot.

the mist can hide a part of the body, making the body not visible to its own eyes

the mist can hide other people. a person will still feel alone in the mist even though its crowded

wind tower

by MAS architecture studio

41

wind tower is the re-imagination of the original version in 1850 used by settlers in Bastikiya, Dubai. it is intended as a homage to religious culture. the wind coming down from above as if it were a holy wind, add a certain sacred feeling as people say their prayers.

42

the old testament uses the word Ruach to describe God, breath, and wind. the wind is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breath, trying to speak to whom the wind touches. it will be stronger than the usual wind. it is important for people back then to be aware of unusual wind directions and strength.

43

the inside of the room is meant to be darker than the outside to limit vision and enchance the feeling of the wind from above.

the upside dome

by gijs van vaerenbergh

50

st. michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church was built in 1650s, and has no dome. the upside dome is to experiment a new typology of dome; tranparent and floating. it gives the sacred sensation of how thin but heavy it is.

51

air is the major element in â&#x20AC;&#x153;thin placesâ&#x20AC;? which is the place where the border of man and God is so thin. thin places can be anywhere religiously-related, and air that comes down from the heaven gives a feeling that God is with the people.

53

the groin vaults have holes as air ventilation so the wind can go through the holes and into the installation

the wind continues down the installation, as if there is something sacred pushing it down

the person can feel such a holy presence from above, when it is actually just the wind

hut of silver chapel

by kuma + elsa

59

hut of sliver chapel is a small public facility with frequent natural mist surrounding it. once the mist got so thick, the person will not able to see anything from inside, so it must follow the direction of the wind. the wind becomes the sacred object, as it is the only thing available for the user.

60

the native people of congo believe in aje spirits, the rightful owners of earth. aje spirits consist of water, fire, earth, and air. the strongest and most powerful is air for a person cannot live without it. take away the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears of a person, the only thing left is the wind to feel. it is the purest form to interact with our senses.

the aje spirits by carlos antonio

61

62

the person inside the hut can feel the wind breezing through as they pray

when the mist gets thick, the person outside will lose vision. with no sound in the area, the wind is the most sacred thing as it is the only thing left to feel and interact

vatican chapel

by foster + partners

72

air is worthy of praise as it is a sacred matter repetitively gifted by God to ensure the life of all living things. it must not be worshipped, but appreciated, as it what once connects the pilgrims with God.

sayama forest chapel

by hiroshima nakamura

94

the air consist of two different personalities; nitya and anitya. one provides the cool breeze of air, while the other one destructs with wind storm. it is the element of eternality, where it is always around us, even when we do not feel it. air is inevitable.

the five elements of ayurveda by ayusante

95

precedent

the sayama forest is open to various religion. they believe that we live because of the water and food provided by the forest, and so we will return to the forest after death. hiroshima wanted to take this as a main case and makes an architecture that prays to the forest.

air is a repetitive energy, which gives breathe over and over again to any living creature that desires it. it is the most humble element, as it values life of others more than the life of air itself.

zoroaster and the theory of four elements by fathi habashi

105

precedent

shanghai dachuan architects was inspired by the art movement of impressionism. Impressionism is about freehand innovation, breaking the rules and typology of normal art. this time, the church typology is challenged, to be made with light tectonics instead of massiveness

air is the purest substance ever existed, and will always continue to exist with the same age as time itself. air is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift to mankind, a symbol of a being that will continue to support and give life to men. once it flows, it will not stop.

air is consisted of atoms and matter, and each atom or matter exerts pressure, so in which air is made out of pressure. low pressure air means the air contains low molecule, and high pressure air means there is a lot of molecules in the air. which means somehow, the higher the pressure of air, the more visible is the air.

from nationalgeographic.org

137

what if ...

we can multiply the pressure in air, that it becomes visible and can function as tectonics

138

project 3. project 3 is the combination of project 1 and project 2, which leads to designing a sacred space which consist of conceptual prototypes.

PROJECT THREE

what if wind can be seen and become an architecture element?

what if we pressurized the air, so it can be be seen and used as tectonics?

what if air could be seen and felt, and act as the element of sacredness?

criteria : SACRED ability to use wind to emphasize sacredness.

TECTONICS ability of the tectonics to represent the windâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movement.

MOVEMENT ability of elements to move, be flexible, and be light as the wind.

WHY IS IT SACRED?

the walls that made up a sacred space can be replaced by the difference of intensity of the mist, making every spot free for the person to pray.

fog has the power to disable the vision of a person. in a room full of people, the person can still feel alone.

fog also blurs the features and identity of every person. every person is the same when they step into the fog.

MIST MAPPING

the work of fathoming the unfathomable mist. mist as a substance has a blur boundary, in which the form and intensity difference of the mist is near invisible. the interesting thing in this section is mapping the unclear form and intensity of the mist, then representing it with clear singular objects.

151

GRID PLANNING
