Concrete Ideagora BA Graduation Project

Culture Exchange Centre This project explores the description of concrete as a ‘medium’. It is a global medium which attempts to create local identity and acts as a photographic negative to capture the traces of formwork. My ‘touch stone’ which displayed the imprint of bamboo and Newcastle’s figure ground, give two local images on two sides of this global medium. This becomes a metaphor for the project’s program of an ‘Ideagora’. A Cultural Exchange Centre at the gate of Newcastle will contribute to solve recent immigration problems, foster encounters and understanding between different ethnic groups in Newcastle. The centre, with an ‘Exchange hall’ at its heart, uses cultural elements such as language, art, dance, music and food to create a common platform which helps reduce conflict and create a more unified society.

The Site

Touch stone Using a site model for the formwork, a negative of the site was impress on the touchstone. It is a study about mass and void, above and below. Buildings represented as sunken, meanwhile some underground structure include the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vault are the convext elements. This also gave the touchstone a local identity, achived by a digital process. Using bamboo framework on the other side, a natural and raw image of concrete was studied. Bamboo grows abundantly in most regions of the world, except Europe, providing a non-local image in the context of Newcastle. It can also be used as reinforcement, as shown in the image above. Concrete in this touch stone, has become a medium which contains and transmits two contrasting images created by the lost formwork.

The site: Bank Of England, Newcastle Upon Tyne, The formal Brutalism structure demolised in 2010 with only the vault left due to high demolision cost.

NewcastleGatehead culture links The design arose from the simple architectural principle of responding to the context. Three distinctive volumes were proposed which responded to the three different contexts interwoven in the site. The top volume tried to respond to the city-scape and could be seen from the Tyne Bridge. This part of the building provided a panoramic view of the city. The middle volume followed the street-scape, carefully considering heights and facades. The bottom volume responded to the underground system in the site, connecting with the subways. The three volumes were then interconnected via a continuous circulation area, a spiral from bottom to the top, and the ‘Exchange Hall’ The building become a continuos route, not just only inside but also link all the disconnected route due to level differences in the site. 5

Dissertation

Bamboo’s Modernization

summer internship bamboo structure model 1:50

Introduction I was born in a Vietnamese village, surrounded by bamboo hedges, where there is a long tradition of utilized this material in daily life. Bamboo symbolizes the Vietnamese hometown and the Vietnamese soul: the gentlemanlike, straightforwardness, hardworking, optimism, unity and adaptability. Growing up and moving to the city where concrete towers rise every day; coming across a bamboo hedges evoke my childhood when I used to make toys out of bamboo. My grandparent’s house, a typical cottage built by mud, bamboo and thatch, was the place held my memories now also now replaced by a concrete frame house. Although bamboo is still abundant; the long handcraft tradition and bamboo architecture are facing the risk of being seen only in museum. This problematic contradiction of bamboo in modern society is the reason I have chosen to explore it in this dissertation. Bamboo is an old-age construction material which is trying to come back to modern context. It actually is giant grass which grows often in tropical country in Asia, Africa and South America (fig1). For thousand years bamboo has been used in people’s daily lives in a variety of ways: from paper, medicine, food, basketry, furniture and especially construction material. Richard Weston and many other modern architects notice that bamboo is “very fast-growing with an impressive strength-to-weight ratio”, and “buildings with bamboo looked back on an ancient tradition in the regions in which plant grows in abundance”. It also appeared in art, literature and philosophy. Hence, it is not just a material but something central to people’s local culture in South – East Asia. The ‘bamboo culture’ will be specified through the relationship of bamboo with Vietnamese culture in chapter 1. The industrial revolution changed the face of building construction process, and the globalization brought the international style of the Machine Age to developing countries where bamboo is abundant. The new materials like concrete and steel have replaced bamboo as the traditional construction material, and plastic transformed a large number of objects which used to be made out of bamboo. Due to bamboo’s irregular dimension, inhomogeneous characteristics, it did not match the requirements in industrial context which is based on the standardization for mass production. It led to a decrease in the use of bamboo in people’s daily lives, becoming just a “poor man’s wood”. Industrialization of bamboo was supposed to solve these problems; and products of this process like ply bamboo and glue laminated bamboo are innovations which were based on the traditional working technique of bamboo combined with lessons from the wood industry. Bamboo cane was split out, and then pressed together with glue to become solid, board-like product. This process helped bamboo become suitable for the standardization, created products which have better strength and duration compared with wood’s counterpart. However, the advantage of the hollow structure, the elasticity and most important the identity was lost through this process, as its boardlike appearance makes people often misrecognize industrial bamboo as a piece of wood. This is the problems which introduced in the second chapter of this dissertation. The research on bamboo was rising in architectural academic context in early 1960s when there was a variety of attempts to rediscover the potential of regional and local building techniques, and building with bamboo played a central role. Researches of architects and engineers were divided into two directions: one looking for the appropriate technology while the other trying to get an alternative technology for this material. The Institute for Lightweight Structure at Stuttgart University by Dr. Frei Otto and his staff were interested in bamboo as natural construction material and as material for lightweight structure, used bamboo in the clean lines like steel cable, and experienced to build modern curve grid shelf structure (fig.2). Meanwhile, DR. Jules Janssen of the Technical University of Eindhoven worked on the structural analysis of bamboo, trying to reduce redundancy and improve efficiency of the structure, creating new method of joinery and more conventional structural system (fig.3). Many other modern architects like Shoei Yoh in 1989 and Renzo Piano in 1997 also experimented to find a more high-tech bamboo joinery (fig.4). Recently, a range of research in both academic and practice also is trying to do experiments using bamboo’s industrial products, such as Shigeru Ban in 2002 and Richard Roger in 2005 in their designs. This dissertation is attempting to research on bamboo as a material for construction from an architectural perspective. The question is how to design with bamboo in the industrial context and still maintain the respect for the material’s structural properties and cultural identity. I want to follow Richard Weston’s idea that materials in the twenty-first century should be used to maximize their varied potential, combine traditional and industrial, rather than standardized products that lose the material’s diversity. Not simply adopting the standardization solutions from the wood industry, architects and designers around the world now are trying to modernize bamboo basing on its structural advantages like strength, elasticity and lightness. Moreover, the cultural factors of bamboo are intentionally reconsidered and remain in the design process nowadays. In a word, this is the hypothesis of this study, which is also the main discussion in chapter 3. With the aims mentioned above, this dissertation will not cover all aspects of bamboo. Instead, it will just focus on the issues related to design process of bamboo architecture. My experience in practice this summer with bamboo construction, serves as a collection of experiences for clearer understanding of bamboo, will be presented in the last chapter. The main information resource still based on the existing research on bamboo, included literature in biology, architecture, engineering and cultural history. Material culture which has rising attention in design research recently also suggests for the cultural meaning of bamboo in the industrial context. Therefore, by researching on a wider building materials context, a more comprehensive understanding of bamboo in architectural perspective will be informed. All of that serves as the proof for the hypothesis of this dissertation. 1.Lady Borton, Huu Ngoc, Bamboo (Vietnamese Culture series) (Hanoi, The gioi Press, 2006) p.55 2.Richard Weston, Material, form and Architecture, (London, Routledge, 2003), p34 3.See Klaus Dunkelberg, IL 31: Bambus – Bamboo ( Stuttgat: Institute for Lightweight Structures, 1985) 4.Jules J.A Janssen [Eds.], A series of articles on the use of Bamboo in Building Construction (Eindhoven: Eindhoven University of Technology, 1982) pp.131-61 5.RWTH Aachen, Construction with bamboo – Bamboo Connections bambus.rwth-aachen.de/eng/PDF-Files/Bamboo%20Connections.pdf, access 26/11/2012 6.Weston, op. cit., p.35

Detroit Station for the Arts Archmedium Competition

Michigan Central Station, the Depot, oce was a great monument of Detroit, the Motor City. Suffered from socio-economical degradation; this city has been desolated to be the contemporary ruins with abandon buildings. However, inthis depressed post-apocalypes situation is arising potential dream for artist. This proposal Renovation base on the character of a monumental station, combine with the re-evaluate for streets art, the arts which represent for resitance again harsh circumstances. This development will not only help to re-habilitate this station, but also creating apromising movement spread over the city

Tropicality

AA Visiting School

Tropicality seeked to ‘lift the veil of innocence’ surrounding narratives of the domestic space. We was expose patterns, struggles and resistance through architectural stories about identity, place and home. Our immersion into Ho Chi Minh City’s (Saigon) multiverse of stories begun in the role of forensic investigator to set out to rouse personal stories of the home. Based on material and social observations, insights and recorded stories, we composed our own story about the connections between architecture, identity, and place. The short film is a narrative composition of images (form, space, light, colour, materiality) and sound (voice, story, city, nature). The form and space of our story described in an axonometric diagram that collapses all film frames and their surrounding architectural space into a layered drawing. This workshop as an experiment which cultivate extraordinary architectural insights through a creative study of the tropical domestic space, honed my compositional abilities and revaluate my definitions and understandings of what Vietnamese architecture is and does.

The Soft Prison

Nhà (house, building) Tù (prison, stagnant) Lỏng (soft, fluidity, thin, loose) Hieu is 57 year olds, he’s living in a small wooden house in district 4 of Ho Chi Minh City. He was born in this house. All of his brothers went to America after the Vietnam War; at the Liberation of the country. He he stayed. He was a diplomatic driver, now he stopped driving and takes care of his house business. He compares his house to a soft prison. The house, the car, and the objects of memory, justifications and rationalisations build up act as frames; as a system of assumptions and justifications to orient for orientation of the self and to give meaning to decisions, behaviors and beliefs. The soft prison seems to be is constructed to gently obscure by an regret, internal conflict and contradictions between the will for mobility and the necessity of stability, between risk of taking in the openness of the open and the security of self-imposed enclosure.

Sketches Vertical Communism

A collection of sketches which explore and illustrate the blend of oriental traditions and modernisation which form a chaotic vertical development in Vietnam. After the war, waves of new technology in the construction industry were combined with past influences to create a disjointed architectural style across Vietnam. The lack of consultancy, regulations and government restrictions have resulted in a chaotic urban aesthetic. Hence my desire to answer questions regarding identity and national style in Vietnamese Architecture, a regional architecture in an age of globalisation. The chaos and disorder can positively be seen as an opportunity rather than a threat, like the statement from Jeremy Till:â&#x20AC;? Mess is the lawâ&#x20AC;?.

Hanoi, Vietnam

Vo Trong Nghia Architect, Private Housing GFA: 500m2, Concept Design Phase Located in the centre of Hanoi, a crowded developing tropical city full of noise and pollution, the design is a private housing for a single family with two children. Aim to bring a green, quite environment with well consider micro-climate, the key elements of the design is a series of diagonal-vertical garden, acting as both green terrace and central courtyard at the same time. With all the activity surround this garden, this also give a centralization feeling inside the house; enhance the relationship between people living in this house.

Intercontinetal Hotel Phu Quoc, Vietnam

Group8asia, Dirrect Commision, 2015 GFA: 35640mÂ˛, Facade Design Involving in the facade design process of a 5 star hotel at Phu Quoc, the most beautiful island of Vietnam, I have experience and explore how the luxuryness could come from the distincitve design rather than expensive materials. Inspired by the sand and the water of Phu Quoc, the project is a narative from the typical mangrove forest of the Mekong Delta to the traditional village of Phu Quoc, and end up with a breath-taking story of the ocean.

My role as a BIM Coordinator is modeling and managing all architectural models from Concept Design, through all the Summision until the end of Tender Documents. This process not only helped me understand the power of BIM on managing large-scale project with constant development and revision, but also teach me to manage the team to work in a colaborative manner to meet strict deadlines.
