Mapping In modern times, information are ubiquitously surrounding people's lives with various forms. In this chapter, I mainly focus on exploring the role that information play in the city. With the development of mobile technology, the way people interact with information has been changed a lot. The inuences of those changes are very interesting, and that also has brought a lot of impacts to space. What I have been trying to do is exploring the possibilities of creating prototype when the way people interact with information changes.

Issue introduction:

Stages of marketing products

On the process of urban reforming and evolving, shopping spaces reflect the desire and cost consciousness of a city. Before the industrial revolution, the center of traditional Market is constructed by a center Square, surrounded by vendors selling material goods, reflecting the combination of faith and life. After 1830s, the industrial revolution, the mechanized production of goods are produced in large quantities, contributing to the birth of the world s first department store in 1851, The Crystal Palace. The organization of its space is divided into checkerboard plane under a mega ceiling glass box, reflecting the pursuit of quantity and industrial efficiency. After 1980s, the information revolution began to sweep people s value with an unstoppable force, leading people began to focus on brands of products and their symbols. As a result, giant shopping malls that advertised by collecting famous brands engaged almost all of the downtowns.

However, after the information revolution, information have departed from the static and adhered relationship with their carriers. Instead, information have been permeating into cities with a more complex and dynamic way, which changes the customer interface and catalyzes cities into the age of experience economy. Under this context, the demand of experience economy excesses the loading limit of the structure of traditional shopping spaces. Due to the limit of conventional shopping spaces, the relationships between people, information, products, street, and activities need to be reconstructed and integrated under a new structure.

During the late period of the information revolution, which is about 1990 to 2000, those universal big cities gradually became what people see today. A variety of print and electronic ads started to occupy the skin of urban, reflecting the worship of symbol and brand.

Been There, Done What An experience business charges for the feeling customers get by engaging it. On the other words, experience economy provides servise as stage, products as tools, creating activities that customers are able to participate and enjoy. This kind of personalized experience are more valueable than tradictional trade of commodity, and people are willing to pay more to own this kind of experience.

Information

Mapping : the separation of roaming and street By mapping the following five elements, data, street, building, interface, and product, into real shopping space: I defined seven types of relationships between these elements.

Street

1.Surrounded information 2.Compressed path 3. Interrupted continuity 4. Gap between data and path 5.Shallow interface 6.Separated activities 7.Surrounded products

Construction

Under the urban scale, the information such as ads are usually seen by people unidirectionally, so people traditionally are attracted by some information and then go to a specific store to shop. It terns out that all surprise and expectation, the most attractive parts of shopping, happens only inside buildings. This phenomena shows that actually people are not able to enjoy the shopping process on streets because streets and the behavior of roam are separated by fragmental and discontinued information.

Information skin in the urban As a prototype, it functions as a circulated urban info skin. The resource of info comes from absorbing people s expectation,vitality, entrance, and participation, and these activities are transformed into dynamic information on its surface displayed toward outside, attracting more people as new information resource completing the circulation of info. Under this context, the prototype is located on the intersection between transporting system and the green land area. Not only the transporting system brings a lot of people, but also those open space provide more visualable aspects to be seen.

Circulated Dynamic Information The plan system is constituted by a double-eight figure loop revolving around three main cores. On the process of the circulation, different kinds of experience and display oriented programs surround the main circulation, so people are able to immerse themself into different events. Moreover, every outdoor experiencing square is visually connected with each other; as a result, all of the activities function as dynamic information internally and externally. When people shuttle between diffenent experiencing squares, they also switch their status between bystander and participator, completing the circulation of dynamic information.

Meta Exhibition: the pavillion of POTS Weekly 2007, spring/ advanced core studio

17


What s POTS? Pots Weekly, the Taiwan's most leftist publications, is a free weekly newspaper dominantly reporting the news and commentary of art, labor movement, environmental movement, sex, sports and other social issues. POTS Weekly provides a large number of arts programs information (about two thirds of the layout). This newspaper is accessable in coee shops,bookstores, schools, libraries, art galleries, Live House, and art galleries.

18


Mapping In this studio, we are required to observe a data from daliy life and then transfer it into a mapping illustration. In this case, the abundant and varied informations about performing and exhibtion in POTS Weekly are the data source I mainly focus on. The reason is that those information contains potential oppotunities to change people s movement. On the other words, people might be attracted by an exhibtion reported in the newspaper and move to the place. POTS weekly is a kind of bridge connecting people and events in the city.

Response In this chapter, the design porjects focus on the dynamic and responsive architecture. The ďŹ rst case is a small pavilion. It transforms its structure in order to reect the demand of interior activities. The second case is a responsive mechanism between a residential and square, bonding space and people's behavior of saving energy.

Emergence Phenomenon Emergence is the way complex system and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. This studio begins with researching one phenomenon of emergence and then apply it to design a pavilion as a prototype. In this case, the swarming of sardines is the emergence phenomenon I studied. Sardines are able to suddenly change direction, stop, and instantly swim again like a well-managed army. Even more impressive is that they swim together without colliding into each other and form as a long fusiform strip. However, in a school of sardines, there is no real leader who gives orders to direct others movements. According to Masuda Reiji, a professor of ďŹ sh ethology in Kyoto University, the phenomenon of their swarming is not the result of following others orders or being willing to help each other. In fact, the phenomenon of their swarming results from a emergence system that includes three interactions among four biological features: their small size, their special glands, their specialized neural reexes, and their hydrodynamic way of swimming.

when two fish are too close to each other, one part of their neural network, an organ that can measure their distance from objects surrounding them, functions to keep them apart. However, when the distance between them is too great, instinct makes them close again as a group.

sardines have developed a hydrodynamic way of swimming so that they can transfer the resistance into power that speeds them forward.

In this case, the ďŹ nal pattern, which transfers the most of the resistance into power, will automatically be formed by the interaction of those four biological features. Depending on the size of the group, this fusiform strip can range from a dozen to a hundred meters long.

Sometimes, there are some predators like to eat them.

When outside sources such as people, dolphin, and sharks are close to them, this emergence system keeps them in a relatively dynamic but stable stutas.

Ten random fish shiftiing forward one grid each time

A f(x) equation is developed to translate the evmergence phenomenon of sardines. The basic equation is that ten random fish are placed into in a 13x13 grid, and each fish shifts one grid each time. During the process of moving forward, the direction they move are determined by three main variables, attraction, replusion, and obstruction. Each variable influences different aspects of the swam of fish. In this analysis, I tried to deconstruct the complex way sardines swam into some controllable circumstances and give them some simple interactions. Then I run this mutiple equation 100 times to represent the emergence of sardines. After that, this concept of equation will be applied into next stage of design.

The range that a obstruction is able to influence is two times of its radius. When a fish is close to this range, this fish will turn 30 degrees to avoid colliding the obstrction.

When the variable attraction contradicts with the variable replusion, the replsion fore is stronger than attraction because not colliding into each other is more important.

Dynamic Structure Equation In this stage, I apply the concept from the emergence of sardine equation to design a dynamic sturcture as a pavillion. The variable in this equation is the volume from people. Sensors are installed on this structure in order to detect the volume from people. When people assemble in a particular place and make loud voice, the structure will automatically extend in order to provide more sunlight. Also, when other group of people come to this pavillion, the sturcture will get a balance point between their need. On the other words, this pavillion responses to the environment instantly, internally and externally. In the following equation, the degree of volume is divided into ďŹ ve levels. and each level inuences the sturcture in a dierent extent.

37


Pavillion Structure

38


f(x) = Different Variables In fact, volume is not the only varible for this equation. The possibility of the variable in this equation can vary from different situations. Depending on different conditions, this pavillion can be used in many different ways. Its plan doesnt s have a certain enterance, so people can enter this pavillion from four sides. It provides more possibilities about the interaction between people, pavillion, and activity.

x=

Speed

When the variable x is temperture, this pavillion can be used to hold a show or performance. Most of the audience are motionless, but models and performers on the stage are always moving their bodies. As a result, this structure will provides more natural light on stage. When mutiple stages are placed, each stage will get different amount of light depending on how many people each stage attract.

39


x=

Temperture

When the variable x is temperture, this pavillion can be used to exhibit some themes about astrology. When people stay in fornt of a board introducing a constellation, the sensor detect their body heat and open the structure above the board people are watching. As a result, bigger opening for more people who are assembled, and smaller opening for a smaller group of people.

The Transfering Mechanism

=

50000000w/hr

in order to invoke people s awareness about global warming, France offically turned off the lights of the Eiffel Tower for five minutes, which is known as Lights Out Eiffel. Power Company estimated that 50 million (kilowatt hours) of electricity was saved during this five minutes .

This mechanism will be implemented in a high-rise residential and urban plaza operation. It is an energy conversion between the residential and plaza. During 7 p.m. to 11p.m, when a light in the residential is turned off, a light is turned on at the plaza at the same time. As a result, people are able to assemble to this plaza and do some activities such as chatting, exercising, and having party. Under this context, the saved energy will be transfered into the experience of these events, penertrating into people s minds. This mechanism eliminate the edge between single building and urban and also intergrate the lives of people. Through anticipating these events, the saved energy will be re-experienced into a new style of life.

However, 50000000 (w / hr) is a visible data, but this data can not be actually experienced or perceived. It just a number printed on newspaper, and it would be forgetten vert soon. In fact, turning off lights can fucntion as an interface, transfering the unperceivable number into an experiencable container of impromptu events.

Lights Out A lights-out grid is built in fornt of the residential, and each unit of the residential has its own unit on the lights-out grid correspondingly. As a result, when more people turn off lights inside, more energy is transferd to the plaza formore people to have fun together. This kind of life experience is differnet from the Lights Out Eiffel, which is only a visualized experience.

Filtering In this porject, I tried to create an interface in urban helping people temporarily escape from urban s rush pace. Through controlling the order of programs and route, this interface functions as a ďŹ lter making people feel relaxed and refreashed. I also ďŹ cused on the process of transferring from pubic to privancy in urban scale.

Porgramming Concept : The heartbeat strategy The site is located on the boundary of urban and suburb It is also beside the Taichung Tech Mall. Therefore, the main customers are urban engineers and hi-tech millionaires who want want to relax and escape from fast-paced lives. Under this context, in order to make customers feel the process of leaving urban, the programs are arranged in a slow-to-fast series. Activities with slower heartbeat are located at lower floors, and vice versa. This spacial series is a filter refreshing people s mind throung the introduction of visual and olfactory.

The facades of this building also follow the concept of heartbeat-frenquency. From the East elevation, which is the main enterance, route rises spirally in the tranquil and spacious glass box. Thourgh an exterior route, the type of program is transferred into more extense one. Those extense activities are able to be seen form facade. Those change is showed on the facade, forming the urban puase image.
