Concept
“Park” Percentage
Structure
Plant Spieces
The core of a park is the "path": Central Park in New York is actually composed of several entrances and paths leading to different neighborhoods
Due to structural and spatial requirements, 20% of the building space will be used as park space for public use.
Other spaces will be used as offices, cafes, etc. The nine columns of the 3*3 grid in the middle will serve as the main structure.
The top park space will be planted with shrubs and herbaceous plants that do not require much soil, depending on the structural requirements, while the bottom space can be planted with trees

Connecting Space There are several open space in the office space as an intermediary between the "park" and the "office", and these spaces will be used for café and exhibition functions.
Office
These open spaces allow the park space to be better utilized by the public and office staff, while allowing for uninterrupted office use Park

“Erosing” Space The entire building is encroached upon as if it were a green space, which will serve not only as a resting space for those who work in the office building, but also as a resting space for the public in general. 3
“Park” Entrance Some floors will be used as entrance floors to the park so that people can reach it directly via elevator instead of climbing up through one floor.

“Park” Space
In today's increasingly crowded cities, there is very little green space for citizens to use, so we must use the vertical space of the city, but how to integrate this space with the original use of the plot is a question we must consider.“Park” Center combines the two organically to make better use of the city space. 6

SITE ANALYSIS There are two schools and a large number of houses in a small area. At the same time, high-end residential buildings also began to appear next to the night market. The Taipei Performing Arts Center designed by Koolhaas has already been completed. With the development of economy and the rapid development of Shilin area, high-level consumption began to enter Shilin area.The more high-end consumption pattern choices will be placed next to the seemingly contradictory night market.

City Catwalk:Taipei The building has two entrances. One faces the main road and can be directly connected to the T-stand exhibition area by elevator; the other entrance is connected to the night market.Elevators and surrounding stairs connect different departments in series, like an extension of a night market. 11

Component A
The middle plane creates the possibility of controlling the folding degree of the componentsin the middle of the three-dimensional model.
An arc is cut off on three sides to make thecomponents easier to fold and at the same timebecome lighter. Component B The function of this component is to combinewith component A to control the angle formed bycomponent A.

Global Shape: Minimal Surface
Cluster Division
In mathematics, a minimal surface is a surface that locally minimizes its area. Root Root is the fundamentalof shaping the sub-groups.And it is alsothe structural nod inthe framework of the curvature.
Smooth Smooth is the partsbetween sharp and flatin the model, withinmost state 2 units
Central Central are the parts inhe heart of the modelt has most faces andreagard as the startpoint of formation of thecurvature.
Sharp Sharp is the most sharppart in the model, withinmost state 3 unitsinside. And it makes the model tighter.
Flat Flat is the Flattest partin the model. withinmost state 1 unitsinside. And it makes themodel softer.
Edge Edge is the tool toreinforce the frameworkof the curvature, andcomplete the formationof the geometry.
The whole body is composed of many polygons of different curvatures, and each polygon is composed of triangles, which is also the smallest unit

Microplastics
Use Case Of Seaweed
From our research we have found that 8 million tons of plastic is being released into the ocean per year , 25 trillion are macro but there are 51 trillion microplastics, these are entering out food chain and contaminating our oceans.
Microplastics collection
Seaweed Farming Method
We have then exposed brown seaweed , fucus serratus , to microplastics in a semi-controlled environment and realized that when removing the seaweed from the water the microplastics come attached. This is due to surface adhesion and electrostatic binding of the nanoparticles.
COLLOID AGGREGATION General tendency to form colloids in water medium
Seaweed is also used in the food industry, in the pharmaceutical industry , in household products, in the textile industry to produce yarn , in agricultural industry as fertilizer and feed, and it can be used as a plastic replacement thanks to its plastic properties. It is for this motive that seaweed production has been increasing for the past couple of years and it is due to increase further.
WETABILITY On breaking down further, they become hydrophilic and sinks to ocean bed
HYDROPHOBIC ABSORPTION Attracts other ions [toxic metals*] onto its surface to reduce contact with water 17
Seaweed Farming has a relationship between buoys and lines with distances and grid organizations that are specimen-specific. It is estimated that you can obtain, 1.5 to 3 kg per meter between 3 months of growing laminaria. These systems however are fixed within the coastal areas but our project aims to scale them up and move them offshore.
Laminaria spp: 1.5kg per m to 3kg per 1m of line between 3months 100m line will give you around 1000 -1200 Kg of wet seaweed
Weaving Behaviour
Seaweed Growing Robot
Based on the idea of sectional inflation. We have permanently inflated buoys which host the air pumps and sensors.These inflate and deflate the next sections on both sides controlling the size of the ring and the depth of the line.It is parametric in nature
Net Weaving Robot
We use robots to weave webs for growing seaweed.The trajectory of the weaving robot is the pattern of the woven net
We leveraged on the relationship between the wave motion and the cluster connections.The wave height and length force of one farming system allows it to propel small generators in the other farming system connected and vice versa.
Buoys is divided into active and passive, active buoys can control the behavior of agents.
The principle of the weaving robot is similar to a 3D printer, we use recyclable biomaterials to make ropes 18
Singular Net Behaviour
Species Category
Growing Length of seaweed controls the parametric Inflation of sections
In the aggregated circle parking system, we design to farm multiple species separated by a distance.
2 months(1.5m growth):10 Buoys = 5m
Laminaria which will be farmed inside, will be farmed majorly for food and edible production. 4 months(1.5m growth):20 Buoys = 10m
6 months(1.5m growth):30 Buoys = 15m
This sectional inflation system will be sensitive to the growth of its host seaweed. Controlling it s depth and length for adequate sunlight based on its growth length. It also provides a basis for the farmer to control parameters of the line for different species and conditions 19
While fucus will be farmed in the exterior where its property of collecting microplastics will be utitlized.

In the design of the canteen, we faced two challenges: 1. The overall style of the campus was more solemn and elegant, but after discussion with the owner, we decided that the canteen could be a little more lively 2. Put enough space in a limited space.
