CONTENTS

Architecture, as I perceive it, intersects with politics, economics, and culture. In today’s complex world, independent thinking and judgment are essential for generating impactful outcomes, even beyond traditional architectural boundaries. Through my undergraduate studies and professional experience, I discovered that sustainability encompasses environmental impact reduction as well as improving human well-being, including health and finances. My goal as an architect is to empower users while prioritizing sustainability, contributing to a livable and sustainable future. My portfolio showcases my knowledge and exploration of architecture, encompassing both academic and professional.

Design Approach A computational aid form-finding shell that resembles the topography of the earthen Great wall is studied to offer technical and aesthetical support for the protective structure that can also function as a retreat pavilion. Principles for the Conservation of Heritage Sites in China state that the structure should be minimally intrusive to the site and embrace the original physical features of the site at the same time.23 The computational form-finding procedure by employing the TNA method simulates compression force geometry, which RhinoVAULT can be used to create the desired form for this specific structure. As shown in the sketch, the overall design language follows the orientation of the linear wall with pattern lines parallel to the Great Wall, which celebrates both the artificial matter and natural shapes of the Gobi Desert (Figure 9).

01 Rebearth Commune_Live Work Home Ocean Terminal, Edinburgh| Year 4 course | Architecture design: Tectonic | Individual work

At Rebearth Commune, we explore the restructuring of the construction sector towards a model that embraces a circular economy. This model focuses on the reuse of construction and demolition waste coupled with the integration of low embodied energy materials as a means of questioning the current use of carbon-intensive construction methods. This concept, used together with designing for the specifics of disassembly, adaptability, and flexibility, aims to not only increase the length of the building’s useful life but also allow it to embrace a circular economy.

Located in West Edinburgh’s Ocean Terminal, the designated demolition site is situated. By corporating earth material with an existing steel frame structure, the program transforms the closed-down Debenhams store with poor thermal performance into a passively heated building that combines dwelling and workplace.

The ground floor of our building features an open market with a stunning sea view, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The first and second floors offer 16 warm, comfortable, south-facing rooms that serve as living spaces. Located on north side of the building, there are some working spaces include indoor and outdoor maker spaces, workshops for processing earth and plastic, and a variety of tools available for rent. We have studio and lecture spaces for larger gatherings and hands-on experiments. Finally, the top floor features a beautiful roof garden and an exhibition space for showcasing finished works.

Defining Brief-No Blank Slate-Architectures of Reuse

Defining Brief-No Blank Slate-Architectures of Reuse

As architects, we are used to the idea of starting a new project from a blank slate, but how much do we actually know about the way buildings ‘end’, how they are demolished and the true costs and consequences of razing buildings to the ground?

When it comes to making buildings, there is no blank slate from which to start afresh.

In reality, the built environment sector uses more resources and throws away more waste than any other.In 2014, for example, 120,000,000 tons of waste were generated from construction, demolition and excavation, which constituted approximately 60% of UK’s total waste that year.

Edinburgh is facing several interconnected urban issues, including a housing crisis, a lack of community facilities, and insufficient live-work spaces. The housing crisis has resulted in a shortage of affordable housing options, and the pandemic has exacerbated the problem by increasing the cost of living in the city. This, in turn, has had a significant impact on small businesses, making it difficult for them to operate and thrive. Furthermore, the lack of community facilities in some areas of the city can make it challenging for residents to access essential services and resources.

One possible solution to these problems could be to create a live-work spaces, which would provide small businesses with affordable premises to operate from while also offering residents flexible workspaces that can be used for a variety of purposes. This approach could help to stimulate local economic growth and provide a range of benefits for the wider community, including increased access to facilities and services.

Therefore, start from the wee hub as a pototype, the location of existing workshop in edinburgh, ties the function in the network.

Besides, when visting the site, The current issue of the existing building revolves around acoustic and thermal problems, requiring innovative solutions to improve sound insulation and temperature regulation for optimal comfort and productivity.

02 PHYGITAL HABITANT: REFINE THE SOCIAL BOUNARDIES OF HIKIKOMORI Vacant parking lots, Japan| Year 3 course | Architecture design: Exploration | Individual work

In Japan, there exists a phenomenon known as ‘hikikomori’. It was discovered by a psychiatrist called Saito Tamaki, who defines it as: “A state in which a person confines himself t his room or home and does not participate in society for six months or longer.” It is a very extreme form of social isolation that seems to exist solely in this country.

What will happen to the hikikomori when the Metaverse arrives?

Chinese State Ministry of Security criticised the Metaverse as it could attract young people into the “digital drug kingdom”, making them spend irresistibly long periods without contact with others in real life. However, British daily journalist Leo Lewis wondered if the Metaverse could become a “vibrant society,”. Thus, helping hikikomori feel more accepted and evolve as “brave settlers of a prairie where everyone will soon want to make his home.”

As stated by Foucault in’ Lives of Infamous man’.“Some part of them to reach us, a beam of light had to illuminate them, for a moment at least...without that collision, it’s very unlikely that any word would be there to recall their fleeting trajectory.” I have designed and turned a self-sustaining movable home supported by blockchain under technological optimism into a second life of history, making the appearance of a multitude possible. A world of the future is a hybridised one between the real and the virtual, and not the physical dystopia, even if it might become one.

I believe Metaverse is a beam of light that shines from the outside for a moment for the history of the infamous ( hikikomori) to emerge. It acts as a power that watches these lives, pursues them that lends its attention. It is the power of the web, based on electricity, to create a new narrative of the past, present and future.

Introduction The diagrams illustrate a typical day of the hikkikomori. It can be noticed that most of the activities can be completed on a small surface, such as a bed or a chair.

Shelf & Car

The architecture is situated in a vacant parking lot in Tokyo’s city center, chosen as the initial design base to revitalize a forgotten alley with the help of NFT exhibitions. The shelf serves as a medium for hikikomori to connect with the digital world and creates a pleasant light environment inside. The extension of the car’s back beyond the shelf indicates its occupancy, as cars serve as the nomadic living quarters for hikikomori, arranged by a central mechanism.

This is the central mechanism located in the centre of the structure to support the basic daily living of the hikikomori, including water, electricity, and food. The rainwater collected by the mushroom-like membrane at top can be filtered, enabling hydropolic plant growth. Further purification can render the collected water suitable for drinking.

Physical-Digital:Interview with 5 hikikomori

Apart from the central mechanism, the individual car units are self-sustaining as well. The mobile nomadic cars allow the hikikomori to wander around the real world with water tanks and solar panels to provide enough energy for basic life during the journey. As shown in map, empty parking lots in Tokyo will be built as stations for the Hikikomori to resupply their cars and make short stops.

Transforming the mobile living unit-car into a micro-living space enables hikikomori individuals to inhabit their personal worlds while maintaining a connection to the external environment. In the tangible realm, features like water bottles and solar panels facilitate hikikomori exploration within the city. Meanwhile, in the digital sphere, smart shelves in towers or on the car provide opportunities for them to immerse themselves in virtual experiences.

Makoko, located on the coast of mainland Lagos, Nigeria, is a typical fishing community.

There are several challenges and social issues in this region. First, the fishing and oil industry, as Lagos’s pillar industry, is undergoing confrontation. The oil spill from the oil refinery significantly threatened the ecological environment, producing a terrible blow to the fishing industry.

Rivka Oxman This project is a research-based endeavor that is still a work in progress. It represents a direction I aim to explore further within the Master’s program.

The proposal aims to transform the use of earth as a building material from mundane to an architectural language. The research focuses on examining and exploring traditional materials by employing digital form-finding methodologies and fabrication techniques to explore the potential of using earth materials in both practical and aesthetic contexts.

A shell structure will be designed in conjunction with the existing Han Great Wall in Dunhuang, China, to protect the damaged parts and revitalize the surrounding village. The new economic system, “Design Global, Manufacture Local,” is applied to the design production process to address environmental concerns and enhance the income of the local inhabitants in Dunhuang.

To a larger extent, the proposal intends to narrow the knowledge gap between traditional methods of building manufacture and modern digital practice by offering a framework in the fields of architectural design and construction.

Introduction

Design Approach

Building made out of the earth is going to be a forgotten art.

Earth has been used for nearly ten centuries as the basis for homes, villages, and cities across all continents. Thanks to its geological nature, China is featured by numerous structures of raw earth of considerable dimensions, recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. However, one of the first barriers to the use of earth is its negative connotation as a poor building material which must be refur-bished after a short time. As Industry 4.0 unfolds a rapid adoption of digital manufacturing techniques in the architecture and construction field, with a strong focus on additive manufacturing and circular economy.

The increasing awareness of the undesirable environmental implications of cement-based products has accelerate to reconsider earth materials within a digitally based construction process.

The design aims to minimize site impact while safeguarding heritage from wind erosion. A crucial construction difficulty is translating the discrete digital model into physical pieces by applying the form-finding approach. The Butterfly plugin was employed to analyze fluid dynamics generated between the protective structure and a part of the Han Great Wall. Thrust Network Analysis and the wind diagram produced by Butterfly could be the methods to identify a suitable compression-only form.

While the former Han Dynasty Great wall used regional materials such as plant branches as the foundation, layering earth, gravels, and seeds shoved above (Figure 5).11 Besides, this section of the wall is situated along the old Silk Road in China, served as a link connecting China, Kushan, Persia, and Rome from the standpoint of high civilisation. Many cultural artefacts were discovered here. 12 Such as copper seals and bamboo slips. Thus, this portion of the Han Great Wall is worth preserving and studying to fully appreciate its rich history due to its historical importance and relic excavation.

Modular 3D printing construction could also be an approach to create flexible and climate-resilient protective structures. In terms of the idea of energy-efficient, solar energy could be used to melt the sand and power the printing machine when doing on-site assembly manufacturing (Figure 12).

Current Preservation Plan The local preservation organization and government installed perimeter fences around the Han Great Wall in an attempt to conserve it.

However, while providing a visual signal for the historical site, this approach compromises the historical and aesthetic integrity of the wall.

迹 TAO (Trace Architecture Office) No.241-15 Caochangdi Art District, Chaoyang, Beijing. 100015 http://www.t-a-o.cn/

TAO (Trace Architecture Office), one of the most active and influential architectural firms in China’s contemporary architecture field, was founded by architect HUA Li in 2009 and is based in Beijing.

Being critical of contemporary architecture as an obsession with fashionable forms in media-driven globalized consumerism, TAO visions architecture as an evolving organism, being an inseparable whole with its environment, rather than just a formal object. With most projects positioned in particular cultural and natural settings in China, TAO explores the essence of place; and makes architecture deeply rooted in its cultural and environmental context concerning local conditions. The sense of place, response to climate, efficient use of local resources, and site-responsive construction method, such issues are always explored in every TAO project responding to its specific situation.

Songshan Lake Science and Technology Convention Center

Trace Architecture Office (TAO) has been selected as the winner of the Songshan Lake Science and Technology Convention Center International Competition for the design of a distinguished space for communication, exhibition, and fellowship. The project aims to set up an exclusive platform for Scientists, technologists, and financial figures to optimize the conference service in the Songshan Lake Park, including the conference center, concert hall, hotel, and financial center. The site, embraced by the lake, lies at the lakefront of the core ecological circle of Songshan Lake, with lush vegetation and excellent scenery. Topography of the site is relatively higher in the center while lower around the perimeter. While excavating the spirit of the site and shaping the spirit of the place, the design also tries to explore how the contemporaneity of the architecture and the historical context of the Lingnan Gardens can open up a dialogue, and how to make a new expansion of the Lingnan architectural culture.

Project Details Name：

In Between Pavilion

The In-between Pavilionproject was the first project since I joined TAO.

This project is located in an urban village on a site originally occupied by two multi-storey residential buildings in close proximity to each other. The density of the surrounding buildings is extremely high and the public space is extremely compressed, creating a tight spatial scale. The current buildings and the surrounding ancillary structures block the traffic and sight lines on both sides, making it a difficult area to reach inwards from the outside. When the site changes its identity from private residence to public domain, it will become an important node connecting the surrounding public space. Our design aims to respond the changing spatial environment with a light and soft gesture. On the ground floor of the street, the building volume will be detached from the outer skin, retreating to give space to the city for pedestrians to pass through and peer into.

In the gap between the building and the skin, a space that belongs to both the building and the street can exist. This kind of polysemous space is not only a contribution to the local urban space, but also an inheritance of the immediacy and diversity of the whole urban village.

Creating models across different scales has been an enlightening journey, from concept to the final iteration.

In smaller-scale models, simplicity and efficiency were paramount, emphasizing quick iteration and testing. Transitioning to larger-scale models demanded a more robust and scalable architecture to handle increased complexity. The vibrant pink in sketch model aims to convey the feeling of Chinese urban villages.

The material selection in the physical model remains a critical factor. The 1:50 model was intended to compensate for the non-ideal appeal in the real world due to poor on-site construction techniques. When creating the 1:50 model, the choice of material for the building envelope was carefully considered.

Finally, a light silver metal mesh was selected as it delivers a design intention, a soft and gentle gesture, that was not expressed in the real-world construction.
