CONTRIBUTION: GRAD Elective Work

Clematis is a group project in which 2 Power Copies arecreated, each representing an abstraction of the vine plants and the flower. The vine plants climb across the skin of buildings, walls, fencings to integrate natural beauty, shading and cooler spaces in our architecture environments.

The two powercopies are instantiated on a 5m x 5m grid and generate sshapes that are intertwined together to create a cohesive composition. A series of external parameters like distance can influence certain characteristics of the shapes. Form and color can be controled using the parameters.

Architectural creations can be precisely categorized.

This stems mainly from some basic temporal characteristics of architecture itself. In the case of houses, for example, they are characterized by sloping roofs in most parts of the world, which are determined by the climate. In areas where rain and snow are plentiful, human beings coincidentally choose to protect their houses from collapsing with sloping roofs. On the other hand, houses are built on the ground, so the condition of the ground has a great influence on the construction. In earlier times, human beings were not capable of modifying the ground and had to adapt to local conditions. Apart from the two prerequisites of the sky and the ground, which would limit the basic shape of the house, man had the power to create the house in terms of arrangement, decoration and colors related to life.

One of the reasons call this table the periodic table is to express that buildings can be classified precisely according to certain laws. Another reason is that there are spaces in this table where no examples are found, but which logically should exist, and these spaces are both a reflection and an inspiration for design.

After filling in the abstract diagrams according to the rules, found some more cases that do not fall within the scope of modern architecture or house building according to logic, including ancient architecture and virtual design of anti-Newtonian mechanics. And some other fill-in-the-blanks are completely created. Whether built or not, this periodic table of elements can be summarized as a more pure and essential architecture after removing personal aesthetic differences. This architecture, I call it the relationship between man and nature.
