[Stadium Design] Mercedez Benz Stadium Design Development {Concept} The original retractable roof panels were the features of the Mercedez Benz Stadium, so the horizontal trusses were designed to allow the track to move freely while holding up the whole roof panels loads.

In order to allow the roof petals to move both horizontally and vertically, this design aims to tilt the roof structure radially which allows the roof petals to move on the slanted track, and further creates more variation of openings. / 8

Thus, to achieve this structural design, the major task would be arranging each truss to net let them interrupt each petals’ movement since the tracks go along with the roof trusses.

Therefore, by allowing the petals to fold themselves in order to pass through each other without colliding, the oblique structures can create a 3D retractable roof.

[Module Design] Train Station Platform / Airport Design {Concept} Structural module is efficient and creates variations of interior and exterior space, in order to take advantages of that, this project aims to use a single structural element to build the whole roof structure of one train station.

By sharing the same space trusses module, I create three different opening types for the roof panels to control the amount of letting in the sunlight, this helps the repetitive structural trusses module have a different relationship between exterior and the inside space.

Also by creating a triple diamond shape structural module, the different connecting ways create different distance between columns which respond to different usage and function underneath the roof. / 18

[Envelope/ Facade System Design] Elbphilharmonie Hamburg Design Development

05 06

The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg has gained its recognition from its glazing façade’s delicate curved glass, pre-fabrication process and the precision of tectonic components. At the same time, the heavily weighted glasses and their responding structures restrict not only the size but also the curvature of glass panels and the possibilities of openings. Over-budget has also been an issue of using a massive amount of glass panels.

Therefore, our aim is to keep the translucence and wavy feature of the original façade while increasing the degree of protrusion and to parametrically control panels from design, rationalization, fabrication to construction and give variants to facade’s transparency to correspond with a variety of interior functions. / 28

07

Plexiglass or so-called acrylic sheeting is chosen as a lightweight and flexible material to achieve the transformation. The plexiglass windows have 17 times the impact strength than that of traditional glass, which means stronger self-supporting ability. In addition, it is preferably flexible so we then create a comprehensive design strategy to control shadow transition effects by making glasses into louver blades then rotating them in response to different exterior conditions or interior spaces.

We create various semi-outdoor spaces with the exactly performed twisted louver blades, the weather will not limit openings anymore. Moreover, the original faรงade aesthetic relying on chrome dots coating now can as well be continued and developed along with the acrylic glass patterns. The design strategy also allows us to fabricate the glass panels efficiently, by repeating modules with different patterns, both construction and visual effect can be accomplished methodically.

Also, by giving spaces between slabs and the faรงade structures, vertical space continuity is increased, as well as ventilation and control over glazing in this doubled layer window faรงade system.

POROSITY CITY: NEW CITY DESIGN METHOD

B.arch_2012-17

fall 2016 5th year thesis project instructor: Chun-Chieh Fang

{Concept} Living in the car-based and capitalist-oriented modern cities, moving between containers like houses or cars was all that’s left. This restriction made the cities unsuited for people over time and resulted in deterioration of living qualities. Therefore, this project establishes a new system that creates a future type of city that brings access and dominance back to people, allowing people to shape spaces of the cities. In the society of Taiwan, streets hold all kinds of living functions and all types of people that create a connection between human behaviors and the surroundings, such places show equalities and directness that establish a core value for future man-based cities. Under this structure, I use human behaviors and habits to link different spots and create prototypes of new blocks and buildings, and then arrange roads for cars under this structure. This new system will break the boundaries of different regions, architectures, landscape, cars, and men, creating a merged space with continuity that allows us to walk and live freely on to it. / 40

Lawrence Y. By analyzing two data of the distribution of houses over forty-year-old, and the high house vacancy rates in Taipei city, I targeted on areas with the lowest space utilizing rate as the site for this new system. In order to set up parameters to create new cities, several factors including commercial areas, business areas, residential areas, and high and low houses distribution are calculated to reflect the citizen’s usage and will be used to determine shapes of mass and platform in new city structure.

Lawrence Y. The upper parts of the mass connect the girds of circulation with facades of buildings, creates a continuous and opened-space system for people to use. The middle parts of the mass are communicating with different layers of different height inside and outside the body, creates interlocking space for more complex human behaviors. The bottom parts of the mass connect with the ground floor roads for vehicles, bridges two different systems with a buffer area. This new space provides a more rigorous way for humans when wandering in the cities, like the times when cities were first built. As a result, new cities can hold more complex and massive demands in the future.

FUTURE EXHIBITION PROTOTYPE

{Concept} How to design an exhibition?

Current exhibitions’ circulations of the display objects are usually predictable and unchangeable, which are totally different from the viewer’s behaviors because they not only watch but also interact with lights, smells, sounds and so on, which is completely random while visiting exhibitions.

Therefore, this project explores ways to develop exhibitions that match with the viewer’ behaviors, which will also actualize their abstract emotions and discourses towards the exhibitions into feedbacks under future architecture designs. By processing data with computers, this project will establish a new relationship between exhibitions and viewers that also change the way we design it. / 48

RESILIENT CITY: TAOYUAN POND PARK

{Concept} This project brings a solution for flooding issue and deficiency of open space in Taoyuan city. After industrial transformation and urban renewal in Taoyuan, the development led to serious environmental pollution and destruction to its water system.

In the past, Taoyuan was lack of stable water resources and people created pond systems in order to improve water conservation, but the system has been eliminated as the city changed over time. It also removed the advantages of water storage, flood detention and irrigation that the pond system brought, so the city became vulnerable when natural disasters strike. In addition, Taoyuan city’s population growth also resulted in urban issues of water pollutions and overcrowded-space, therefore, to provide a buffer area for the citizen is necessary for its future operation. / 54

LANDSCAPE AND BUILDING PERSPECTIVE

Creating a new park as a buffer space for the citizen in this flooding area between two main rivers that flow across the city, this will enhance the city’s resilience by allowing it to recover quickly after flooding, and to coexist with the nature in the future. The architecture in the park corresponds to the terrain of the rivers and ponds, creates circulations that connect different types of space, merging natural surroundings with the buildings. Therefore, the paths inside the park grow along with the banks and bridge lands on two sides of rivers, which also create opened/ semi-opened spaces for activities.

The spaces inside the pond park are corresponding to different flooding stage of the rivers, along with the activities and other citizen usages. When the water level is lower than the average, the ponds will store water for basic needs or provide additional spaces like grass slopes; When the water level is above the average, the ponds will serve as flooding detentions which also keep water close to the architecture that regulates the temperature nearby.

These advantages of the park will largely improve living qualities nearby when facing environmental and urban issues. / 58

WALLESS WALL: STEEL TUBE INSTALLATION

B.arch_2012-17

spring 2015 4th year design studio project instructor: Yu-Hsiang Lin

{Concept} This project focuses on connecting students from two different majors that share the same floor, by creating an installation that provides spaces for student activities and academic events. Several years ago, students of Architecture and Urban Planning majors took classrooms on the opposite sides as their studios and worked with different schedules and habits ever since. Not long after, the once complete space had been separated into two parts difference between them gradually showed up, which turned into conflicts at last. Students of two different sides became hostile to each other while sharing this 4000 sq ft. floor. Therefore, in order to ease the tension that restricted the usage of the atrium in the middle area, I wish to bridge all students together with the multi-functional installation. / 60

TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE RENDERING

Through visual effects of seeing through the installation from different angles, I created a void wall that people can walk through in order to establish new circulations for the students. Moreover, the installation serves as a device for boards to set up, allowing students to use in presentation and graphics display, bringing students to the center of 07 Wall-less Wall 09 the atrium. Also, it provides removable platforms for students to rest during all kinds of activities, this will not only A1 let them stay but also enhance the possibilities of interactions to take place, instead of just passing by like before.

The installation is also combined with auto-watering machines which will help improve the environment. / 61

PERSPECTIVE RENDERING #1

{Methods} Iron tubes are the main structures of the installation, the tilt parts connect with horizontal parts that fixed the whole body to the ground, and the equality of its form will make it balance. Cutting tubes in angles and welding them together into a single object, then use the metal joints to combine two objects from different angles to an L shape, and bind every unit into one structure at last. The materials of the installations are galvanized iron tubes which can be cut by electric grinders, steel pieces, and gears that fix the tube to the ground or the deck.
