Eco-corridor

Community design

The project aims to integrate the relationship between nature, architecture, and residents using green areas. The neighborhood will form an area that blends with its surroundings and connects different parts of the community. On top of this, the green roofs compensate for the loss of green space and also serve to protect the environment. Also, the project’s visual design will have a certain coherence, integrating the internal circulation of the buildings with the external circulation of the streets. Utilizing green roofs and eco-corridors to maintain the actual ecological value of the site, and adding the circulation of the water system within it, allows for a more low-carbon and environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Because of the pandemic’s impact in the last two years, many districts have had online classes conducted to continue students’ programs. After investigation, it was found that there are certain prerequisites such as equipment and technology to conduct online classes. Some poor or backward areas cannot afford this method. Therefore, this project aims to design a school in an economically underdeveloped area that can satisfy the student’s education and help the local economic develop ment according to the local situation. It also en sures that the education model in these areas can develop in line with the rest of the world.

Concept

In order to make it possible for students in backward areas to have the same standard of teaching and learning as those in other parts of the world, and also to provide employment for the local people, a comprehensive open campus was designed, in which a school with space for computer labs, a small farm, and accommodation for the teaching staff was provided.

The roof structure of the building can be seen in these two pictures. Instead of fitting perfectly to the walls, this roof retains voids and slopes at an angle. This was designed according to the local climatic conditions. It can lower the room’s temperature to cool down naturally by letting the air circulate sufficiently while ensuring a certain amount of sunshine.

Falling wing

Pavilion design

My concept of this pavilion is to give people a comfortable and free space and to have different feelings in different time periods. The inspiration for this pavilion comes from the wings of birds. The metal frame is used as the structural support of the exhibition hall, so that the entire design can be placed on the ground smoothly. And use these frames to connect the surrounding layers of glass. Sunlight can also pass through these gaps to produce different light and shadow effects on the ground, giving visitors a different feeling. Small lights are installed at the top and bottom of the pavilion, allowing listeners to have a better visual experience when watching the quartet at night.

Surface and waffle

There are many openings on this design wall, and visitors can have different visual experiences through different opening positions. At the same time, these openings can also make more changes in light and shadows.

There is an empty area running through from top to bottom, which can ensure that the entire model can be illuminated so that visitors can feel the changes in illumination at different times.

Because it has become a waffle structure, the effect of light and shadow will be more obvious. These blank spaces in the upper part allow more light to pass through, making the visual experience of visitors richer.

Although the light seen from the left and right sides has not changed much, the wall structure is not as flat as the original, so the shadow on the wall will also make the design look richer.

This iterative exercise allowed me to test multiple times and make further improvements and choices. In this process, you can change the geometric shape, size, rotation angle, point attract or, and other conditions often and then cut out a model that conforms to your concept. The concept of selection is based on the relationship between solids and gaps and the influence of these conditions on the quality of the space, such as compressibility and porosity.

I first chose pufferfish as my pavilion. By modifying the shape of the curve, comparing different iterative cutting effects, I selected a preliminary assembly similar to my ideal. Due to the complexity of this complex, I manually selected some areas for modification and made a more simplified pavilion. Taking into account the problem of my material selection, I made a frame inside this pavilion, and finally came up with this model.

04 Garden library

Library design

The library designed here is an adjacent project to Greenline, on the edge of the CBD and the South Bank.This piece of Enterprize Park is the primary location for contrasting Melbourne's CBD and Southbank. It is also a practical first step for the Greenline project.

Forecasts show that the Greenline is expected to generate more than $1 billion in economic activity and create up to 1,000 jobs over the project's life. Mayor Sally Karp said the Greenline would deliver one of the city's most significant transformations since the completion of the Southbank Promenade in 1990 and the opening of Federation Square in 2002. Regarding the facade, I referenced a Korean dream king project whose facade of this project has a wave shape that fits well with my wave inspired by this arc of the river's waves.

Pavilion design

In the design of this area, the planning is relatively neat. Both the pavilion and the green area use square and square graphics, and there is no curve. The entrance of this pavilion is in the south, at the location marked on the map. There will be roads around all the pavilions, making it easy for visitors to walk. At the same time, each exhibition hall is connected to a green area, ensuring that this area has a good ecology and enough space for tourists. The greenspace area that receives sunlight is divided into several situations, and different light areas can be provided according to different seasons, different time periods, and different preferences of tourists. Let visitors have more choices.
