RESIN CAST MODEL #1

[photogrammetry_bus stop design] by using meshed gernerated from photogrammetry, we are seeking a possible way to scalessly re-implement a form into a program {design order} what we found is interesting about the project is its design order, we used to design first with program then form and then material, but in this, we actually reverse the order, with first form then meterial then program, it actually gives us a lot of time to focuz on complying the form and the material’s characteristic, so new connection will build up, will replace the way we uesd to connect a thing’s function with it’s shape.

Using bounding box to retrim the meshes to redefine its origianl scale and shape.

curiosities_3D_Scanning&Photogrammetry_I

After 1st casting on the model, we re-scan it and then re-cast it to redefine its original shape’s meaning. we combine the biopolymer gel refrigerator with the but stop, trying to impement “gooeyness” on program too. we image the inner space is for storing food so the gel blends with its outter shell’s form.

Thus, we found out that by doing the modeling repetively, we can actually come up with new approaches to the deisgn.

RE-SCALED ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS / 14

The origianl idea was to sample architectural elements from the historical building- bradbury building in downtown LA. Because of the plenty of meaningful ornaments in the bradbury building, we were trying to find a way to give new interpretations to these tokens and symbols.

Also, the meshes and forms that we get from phorogrammetry software, have lost their origianl scales and orientation, which provides a possibility for us to redefine the order of the shape, even into larger scale of spaces.

The next step is using resin to cast the photogrammetry generated meshes, by doing this, the form itself will have the second time of deformation.

Moreover, the heat generated when resin is curing would also destroy or melt part of the model, which again shaping the model into another form.

So by the end, the model we have would be reshaped and redefined more than two times, and at this moment, the primitive outline or geometry of the elements are recreated.

[Tower Design] Replacing The MTA Building {Concept} by scanning facades pieces and building elements from the downtown LA, we are re-composing a new tower-like form, trying to explore a new way of desgning high-rise architectures . In the beginning, we looked for different types of building facades for photogrammetry, and then took away their color but not the texture and strated to retrim them, after doing that, we sliced them into pieces and stacked them so the charecteristics were kept but the new-

composition is created. The last step is to add a new material and texture to the tower, to achieve that, we re-scanned the texture from colored physical model into 3d model, and then project them again onto the tower so that the prints of both physical and virtual would overlap, and to create a new skin for this form. [second time resin cast model] after 1st cast and rescanned, we did a 2nd casting back to the physical model.

How to give different facades a new interpertation as architectural space?

TOWER FLOOR PLAN #1 / 22

{purpose} our aim is to compose a tower from a visually appealing point of view, so the known part is that we are going to sample the facades from dtla, also from the physical texture that the resin gave, and the unknown part is How is this programmed tower going to look like?

How to give different facades a new interpertation as an architectural space? _design strategy} so we made them into shells or chunks while reassembling them with new alignement, and we use them to cut each other to reconstruct layers and depths as possible space for machines to inhabitat and at the same time we realized that we cannot no longer tell which is the exterior facade and interior facade, this ambigiousness was created bcuz of the new seams, edges and continuity of surfaces that we gave, which is very interesting so we feed back this idea into our program.

{Concept} The appearance of one thing can sometimes be deceptive, different scenes we see of a thing from different time and perspectives may distract us of distinguishing the reality and illusion.

Rialto, the old theater from 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is now a retail store which locates in the section mixed with jewelry and fashion shops of Broadway street, its appearance doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the story of the current usage, same as the street showing entirely different scenes between day and night.

The camera as well shows different direction walking toward the object to emphasize the illusion the camera goes inside the installation to show the compostion of shallow meshes and solid chunk parts.

Imagine a big installation floating above Rialto under sunlight, with a solid massing created by meshes, but only the chunks pieces cast shadows. And the front view of it shows a perfect sphere shape while looking from different perspectives, the actually elongated shape gradually reveals. And when the night falls, without the color from sunlight, the hollowness of the installation mute the Rialto and its surroundings with ambiguity.

LOUVER BLADE TRANSFORMATION #1

[Envelope/ Facade System Design] Elbphilharmonie Hamburg Design Development 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.

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 façade 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 façade structures, vertical space continuity is increased, as well as ventilation and control over glazing in this doubled layer window façade system.

The Importance Of Architecture Working With Shape Under Contemporary ContextIn this essay, I would like to discuss the necessity of working with shapes as an architectural designer. As an SCI-Arc student, working with shapes is normal than usual, however, no matter from others or from ourselves, we continued to question the validity of the role that forms and shapes play when designing. This always leads me to deeply thinking of how to establish a “right” design logic, sometimes even limit the development of

design. Looking back at the deficiency of previous studies, I realized that the background of the cases I sampled was not being inspected, and the issue that I wanted to talk about was not focused. And by means of the opened debate during the History and Theories with the class, this essay will focus on the article of Hans Tursack’s “The Problem With Shape” to address my opinion of practicing shape-wise design methods and also new conclusions I got after discussion in class. (Tursack 1)

discourse_of_shape

This essay will be discussing the relation with shape and architecture based on the questions deliberated during the class, the following two paragraphs will start the debate on the question: “The Problem with Shape” Hans Tursack says that “The practitioners of shape need to self-consciously reposition themselves within a newly constructed polemic, or – better – be done with it altogether.” Imagine you are one of the practitioners of shape that Tursack is referring to and that you are writing a response to his text in the forthcoming issue of Log. Outline what this newly constructed polemic might be. Articulate your position in defense of working with shapes in the contemporary context.” (Tursack 49)

And the next two paragraphs will content my opinion based on the question: “Do you agree with Hans Tursack that working with shape reflects a skepticism regarding “architecture’s ability to communicate complex concepts through visual constructs”? What other means does architecture use to communicate ideas? Does the fact that we are becoming increasingly immersed in digital, visual imagery change architecture’s capacity to communicate concepts? If so, how can we respond to this change? (Tursack 53) The final section will conclude the skepticism, giving answers to three key themes of first whether working with shapes or not, next, the effect of the new medium of architecture to communicate and then the future sense of an architectural student.

Shape always reflects its contemporary society or people’s memory of a general agreement, so architects either have to be as Tusak mentioned that reposition themselves as a response to the environment, or have to be always persistent onto one system. Therefore, the author of the article “The problem of shape” cast doubts to the “shape practitioner” based on the former point of view and trying to question what’s behind architects shapewise design logic. The first question is responding to Hans Tursack’s discourse over the practitioners of shape need to self-consciously reposition themselves within a newly constructed polemic.

Tursack described a situation of practitioners dealing with a polemic that shows hollowness and unintellectual operations, and I think that this so-called newly constructed polemic is the high popularizing rate of the internet. For instance, 80 percent of our daily routine has to be operated through using the internet, from tax paying, reporting to tipping the vendor on street, from attending meetings and transferring confidential files while working to video chatting or watching live streaming with friends at home.

These changes taking place swiftly in the past ten years have already drastically transformed the way we think and behave, and in addition, our understanding toward society orenvironment have also shifted along with the new medium.

This essay will be discussing the relation with shape and architecture based on the questions deliberated during the class, the following two paragraphs will start the debate on the question: “The Problem with Shape” Hans Tursack says that “The practitioners of shape need to self-consciously reposition themselves within a newly constructed polemic, or – better – be done with it altogether.” Imagine you are one of the practitioners of shape that Tursack is referring to and that you are writing a response to his text in the forthcoming issue of Log.

The final section will conclude the skepticism, giving answers to three key themes of first whether working with shapes or not, next, the effect of the new medium of architecture to communicate and then the future sense of an architectural student.

Thus, it can be seen that shape is not only representing visual appealing aspect or none-context formalism in today’s architectural design. There are actually several things that cannot be dined are the advantages brought to architecture realm by “Shape”. Take “Icon”, or “Iconize” for instance, using icon when conveying ideas is pro-people and easily to reinterpret.

The famous architecture firm BIG is a practitioner of 2D-visualizing and iconizing. They use a lot of these simplifying methods to either draw attention or build connections between people who have different backgrounds when reading their architecture design. Although many architecture professionals do not agree with this seemed design-depreciating promoting methods, the BIG’s design actually gained more awareness from unprofessional people, which is a deprofessionalization movement helping the society to frequently receive readable architecture information.

{concept} The primary purpose of a library is to store and exchange information through a medium to the user.

A space where large amount of information is stored and the user can absorb and exchange information.

Because the books are being replaced by new technologies, the future of the library will not consist of any books anymore. Instead, the user will obtain knowledge through different means of virtual and interactive medium.

SW ELEVATION #1 / 58

This library is focusing on implementing new possible techonologies on information searching and display.

Starting from future library patronsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal data, the library would obtain personal information through biometrical sensing machines, afterwards, the results of searching will be more percise and will be able to respond to physical reactions with the help of new techonologies.

For instance, the neuroscience can detect and measure even our emotion. Biometric technology has always been regarded as the highlight of data confidentiality, such as the fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, we will soon be using these techniques for digital analytics.

The display of any kind of information in this library will be using holography screens instead of monitors, so the working interface would shift from desk and computers into larger rooms and walls. This library will consist of a NW huge collection of holographic displayedELEVATION objects, materials :1/16"=1'-0" the and textures. The user will actually get to experience aesthetic, materiality and the scale of the respective object or the data.

Moreover, the library will have miscellaneous features of photogrammetry and 3D printing objects. Because the technique of reproducing subjects is mature enough for people to study on the replica, so in the library, shops and fabrication section would provide equipments for variety of materials and textures to research.

The form is derived considering the server room acting as the cerebrum of the library. The rest of the spaces are designed and placed depending on the location of the server room.

Since the building will consist of no books and entirely dependent on computers and screens, the building is discouraged from natural light directly entering into the building. The materials of the building will consist of a combination of dark tinted glass and opaque materials like marble. The glass will have a subtle texture over it to control the natural light and make the building more of a softer lighting style.

Holography is a photographic technique that records the light scattered from an object and then presents it as three-dimensional. The Library will consist of a huge collection of holographic displayed objects, materials and textures, in order to simulate and display the information.

COMPOSITION & TEXTURE MAP / 68

we assigned different genres of objects into the unity platform, and then trying to reconnect and combine them into a larger scale of body. After that, we were applying new materials onto this larger form. Also, we were trying to control the â&#x20AC;&#x153;randomnessâ&#x20AC;? of the cluster, because we set up factors for the objects to show up randomly, but at the same time we set up and adjust certain boundaries for it.

In this excersice, I was trying to use the theme of “Religous” to find objects that are related to it, and then apply texture maps that are with a entirely different meaning, such as meat, vegetables, food production, animals skins, etc.

ASSEMBLY OF RANDOMNESS / 70

Not only the color and the pattern, I also use the texture maps’ depth to emphasize the contrast between the meaning behind the obejcts themselves, and the perception that we usually have towards these meaty texture.

By doing this, I was trying to address the idea of this course “become the internet”, which is saying the things we see from surface in the internet, are usually not what they really are.

PHENOMENOLOGICAL DESIGN LOGIC

The main reason of Edmund Husserl’s proposal is to understand the real “function” of the architecture and try to consider aesthetics and individual psychological needs to architectural design. And trying to strike a balance between meeting design needs and achieving social consensus. Phenomenology was also used as a way to solve the problems of the Positivism at the time, which means phenomenology was standing on the basis of opposition in the positivism - Introspection, a previous way for architectural design when it talks to aesthetics, to help architects self-observe to put forward more than just artistic criticism.

phenomenology_and_architectural_education

However, when such subjective and objective design needs hoping to be solved by phenomenology, “There are as many phenomenologies as there are phenomenologists, and the only thing in common is that their findings are based in Husserl”(Spiegelberg 1960). This is the moment when the purpose of the whole discussion began to blur. Thus, if consensus becomes something that people can easily claim, would all the theory basis become a means for something else? Would it become something deceptive rather than revealing?

As an architectural student, it is common to hear people talking about design ideas with subjective opinions of goals, and they also can easily provoke debates that focusing on who is right or wrong, however, without a certain degree of understanding of the problems behind the design, people tend to subjectively rationalize the design hypothesis without a theoretical basis. Does this “Imaginary Invalid” design method mean we do not need to solve problems, nor need a standard for architecture? Does architectural education we have now encourage this kind of self-deception design logic and way of thinking?

This phenomenon of architectural students projecting their own emotions, and making up stories to explain their logic is the result of the “Ponzi Scheme”(Ponzi Scheme 2019) in architecture education. In this paper, I will discuss my concern about architectural education’s current problem.

What is the “Ponzi Scheme”? Its main feature is to use the money from the newcomers to feed the last group of newcomers, but not creating new value. Thus, the Ponzi Scheme in architectural education, take the off-campus software workshop program, for example, is actually people who have software skills that are not needed by the market telling students that learning this software will be very profitable for them, which make them pay for the courses, and once those who were tricked realized that it’s not true, they begin a new cycle of lying to the next group of people.

There are many institutions or software companies hold software training workshops from 10 days to a year, providing the latest software skill courses. Claiming to upgrade techniques mainly for students. However, the real purpose of these programs is to help students apply for good schools, and after getting into good schools, these “skills” do not create opportunities for student, so they eventually back to join the training systems, reentering the cycle. However, if the architecture market needs these skills, why do students who have those skills from those top schools struggle to find related jobs and come back?

This cycle has created such an impact on architectural education, leading students to believe that architectural design is to not discern good or bad as if there is no standard for architectural design. And If there is no generally accepted standard, the authority will be the one that defines it. Moreover, if there is no standard in architecture, is it just metaphysics?

“Architectural Education is Changing: Let’s Hope the Profession Can Keep Up”(Bernstein 2009) an article by Phil Bernstein, indicates the same concern as this essay addressed, saying that the “unknowable” future professional skills will not help students be prepared for their own practices to survive in the future. This once again states the concern towards solving problems before problems even exist. We all want to be Master of architecture, and we all want to take the short cut, and these things create our educational environment, and then eventually bad result comes back to us.
