PROJECT 1

1A. " Catalyst of Expression " Manifesto: Kinetic Art

KINETIC ART

As the manifesto Dynamique, intends to show the smooth movement created by the lake flow and also implying how the site is alive with different kinetic movement going on. Kinetic energy happens in daily life and it can be as small as the waterflow.

Kinetic movement demonstrates the law of nature as human beings are not the only things that are moving. Nature can be evolving too . However, Kinetic art from what it means does not simply mean art that moves. From my point of view kinetic arts is the beginning of the modern art era . An art style that relates to our daily lives implying things that are alive around us. Every living thing moves, each movement can be related to different circumstances such as expression of senses( happy, sad and moody).

B. " Site Analysis "

Existing Building & Creative Hub

PROJECT

General Analysis + Concept

The Shiver House is a radical reinvention of the common Finnish Hut (mökki) The project is a kinetic "animal-like" structure which moves and adapts in response to surrounding natural forces. Shiver House is an exploration into the idea that architecture can be used as a means to create a closer emotional link between its inhabitants and the natural world it sits within In addition, the project explores the idea that architecture can be made to seem "alive" with the intention that this will engender a deeper and longer lasting emotional relationship between people and the structures they inhabit

Response

Construction and materials The house employs the use of 600 kinetic counter weighted shingles which respond to the changing weather conditions of the site..

Wind, rain and snow cause the shingles to rotate into a closed position giving the structure the temporary appearance and function of a shelter

The project is constructed using a simple timber structure which supports a number of rows of tensioned steel wire. These steel wires are treated as batons and are designed to hold the counterweighted shingles

SITE & CONCEPT

Site

Chosen considering the view and human flow It is located in be

Concept developed from kinetic art implying how architecture

Structural steel frame is being proposed due to the form and site of the pavilion

MOVEMENT

Manifesto Explorative

Movement of human kind in expression of happening environment that a creative hub should have. Freedom to express any form of feeling in various art languages

PROJECT 3

A. " Creative Hub + Creativity Facade" Design Process , Presentation Board

The Children's Musuem of Pittsburgh

Programmes

The Children Museum of Pittsburgh provides innovative and inclusive museum experiences that inspire kindness, joy, creativity and curiosity for all learners. This case study provide innovation in to relating it with design studio creative hub, intention of sharing thoughts and knowledge transfer, on what art is and being able to express themselves with the programs provided in any form of actions/ movement

The building is a children's museum which program that emerged from “ warm and welcoming” facility that should be open to the community and provide opportunities for life long learning. Architect use old Chinese proverb of giving kids " roots and wings" as a metaphor to represent the design of this facility

The case study demonstrate simple construction method can also be visually pleasing. More importantly , the system can be modified to fit any other projects. The tubular structural frame is supported by a number of support points and each point is Embedded in a continuous concrete slab

CONSTRUCTION

Creative Facade

Detail A: Space Frame - Triodetic System

Detail C: Torsional Bracing

Fully braced square modules to provide torsional stiffness

Detail B: Wall & Space Frame Connection

supported by a number of support points and each point is embedded in a continuous concrete beam

Detail 4: Dynamic Wall Motion Systems

Rod Mount system is designed to facilitate ease of repair and maintenance operations. Individual flappers can be easily replaced by manually snapping them on and off the mounting bushings.

Exploration on flappers

Dyanamic wall motion systems can be modified according the different projects to best suits the project requirement

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Each movement in live is unique as it is. Adapts in respond to the surrounding from nature exposed in welcoming what is given by the nature

Design Strategies

Site Condition Form Development

PROGRAMME / SPACE PLANNING

Focus to inspire next generation, promote concept of knowledge exchange
