Materials
Walking through the streets of Taiwan, I found many concrete buildings with protruding rebars buried in the early stages of construction to facilitate the subsequent construction of the buildings that share the walls.
B.V.
Nowadays, technology can also be used to print metal using robotic arms. The arms can be customised to build and at the same time be adapted to on-site digital fabrication. With such inspiration and technological possibilities, I began to imagine the possibilities of the spatial composition of the wire system.
The design will be centred around the study of how wires can be controlled as an architectural system. In this case, an unused gap between two street houses next to the Liuchuan River in Taichung is used as an example. Using parametric tools, I experiment with the form, structure, materials, construction methods and space experience to control and select from them.
Which gives me some inspiration and imagination, can wires grow to form spaces and buildings?

The area framed in red is the scale of a long street house, which generally suffers from a lack of connection between the front and rear spaces and a lack of light.
the current high density development in the Central District, there is a lack of public space and it has been observed that there are residents on the ground floor of the site living in the distorted grey space.
I therefore wanted to open up the ground floor of my site as an open space and connect the activity areas of the residents to the stree.

In addition to the wall on either side as support, look for ways to support the floor. So that the direction of the force transfer can be changed and end up on the ground.
By using topology optimisation tools. Generate the minimum structural area required for the ground to be supported together with the original wall. Helps to find the tendency of the line to grow. Acts as a restrictive container through which the wires pass.

It is shown that the larger number of random dots, the more the topological restriction is met within a certain range. However, when the number of random dots becomes too large, the wires start to disperse again. The structure is reduced. COUNT:20 COUNT:70 COUNT:150 COUNT:300 09

The control strategy will form a prototype of a different structural system for different spatial requirements to begin to fill other urban gaps in this situation. The design is based on the example of a residential house, where the continuous floor plates create a roaming space, making the space continuous.

The ground floor of the site is opened up as an public space and connects the area of activity of the inhabitants to the street. The lightweight wire system provides the opportunity for sunlight to filter through to the ground, creating a dappled light.
The freedom of wires is used to form the structure, but also to create differences in height and density to give different spatial experiences to different functions. For example, a study with an open but enveloping south side, or a low-ceilinged individual space with a view through to the street.

People are parasites in the urban. Beneath the surface of busy commerce and crowds live “our most familiar strangers.” Passing each other every day, people don't even know who they are. The crumbling and cramped place is their parasitic place and utopia. But after the flourishing, what they do circulates the whole place...

Breaking down the boundaries between the city and the environment, through the different functions of the different facades.
It also integrates coplanting into the building, thus addressing the issue of sustainability of the building and the environment. A business model that satisfies the self-sufficiency of the residents and also generates vertical sales in the city.

This system that the building undertakes, in addition to the dwelling, amplifies the vertical motion of the transport so that the nature that is integrated into life is visible.

When the user becomes the designer of the space. Plants enter the site and the frameworks act as a system to form a hierarchy of modules and extensions, obscuring the boundary between the man-made and the nature. People and nature begin to live in a symbiosis.
36
By enlarging the living units and fading the boundaries between living space and nature, plants enter the life and become a symbiotic form of living. The frame is used as a system to gradually extend the entity out into the void. The design of the lighting emphasises the relationship between the living space and the natural space at different times of day.

On the main vartery between the community clusters, the original public space is used to create a new activity centre where residents gather at various times of the day. While gathering people, it also connects people from different directions of purpose around the base and allows for integration. At the same time, shortcuts are created to link the spaces.

The site is a farming area at the top of Dadu Mountain, which is surrounded by farmland and trees in the distance, the landscape is monotonous and compressed by tree belts. It is hoped that by breaking the compression of the tree belt, the scene will be extended to the whole city.
It is hoped that the difference in height will be used to create different hierarchies in the landscape. The use of architectural openings and enclosures allows for different views.
