1.0 THREE RELATIONSHIPS
POINT/LINE/PLANE MASS FRAME AND INFILL
1.1 POINT/ LINE/ PLANE idea: ON GROUND folding geometry composition
1.1 POINT/ LINE/ PLANE Research
1.1 POINT/ LINE/ PLANE model
My point, line and plate model is like modern sundial architecture. At the other side, timber columns from lines to a plate to support the whole structure. Meanwhile, it create a slope and two levels on the architecture. At the center point a straight line as the pole of sundial can be treat as a point in this architecture or a line in it. Moreover, the shape of this sundial is a cycle, so all edges are curved lines create cycle plate.
1.2 MASS idea: UNDERGROUND lightness and darkness solid and void
1.2 MASS Research
1.2 MASS sketch
The mass is the underground sphere architecture. It has a scale of 1:50@A3. Meanwhile, it has large volume in it. The left tunnel is the lifts for transferring people and right tunnel is the column to deliver fresh air and sunlight into the architecture. Moreover, the wall of the sphere is reinforced wall in order to support soil weight push the structure. It has its own control system. There is no affect from any weather condition, so people can live in without hesitated.
1.3 FRAME AND INFILL idea: ABOVE GROUND grids and units frame structure transparent and shadow steps and stairs
1.3 FEAME & INFILL Research
1.3 FEAME & INFILL model The frame and infill model has three cubes to fulfil 2 bays dimension requirement. It has many advantages that it has a strong structure with good transparency and people can climb on to take a rest. The most interesting part is people can climb on to the platform to take rest by a net ladder. This element is the temporary part in the model that can be removed if it need to. The upper two cubes are the antigravity elements in the model that they are attached to the bas cube structure.
2.0 HERRING ISLAND SITE ANALYSI
3.0 HERRING ISLAND PROJECT
3.4 FINAL DESIGN DRAWING
The secret model is providing a place for a family to listen a secret audio for five minutes. Meanwhile, it provides a place for people to observe a tree closely. It is in the central part of the island which is the highest place on the island. There are many pathways leads to the architecture so it can be found easily. People can step into the architecture to see the rooting system of the tree through the transparent floor and they can go to the first floor to observe more part of the tree. As the following pictures that showing the view that people can see in the architecture which is the woods. It is the good place for people to discover the relationship between then and nature.
3.5 FINAL DESIGN MODEL
3.5 Final Model
4.0 REFLECTION
5.0 BIBIOGRAPHY
Point and Line to Plane ,September 1, 1979,Wassily Kandinsky In this semester, I learned many things that how to make points and lines can hide in the plate. I made a modern sundial model to illustrate that. Moreover, for mass section, the underground architecture showing the structure that cannot be affected by any condition. Maybe in the future, people can only live in this kind of architecture. It can be seen in my mass drawing that a sphere architecture with lifts and air tunnel to provide shelter for people. Then the frame and infill part teaching us how to put some functional elements into the frame and play their own role for people to use. It can be seen in my frame and infill model with many anti-gravity structures. The final secret project makes me know how to create a place for people to observe a tree to grow so it provides a place for people to feel their relationship between them and the nature.
