GIA Project - Floating Boundaries 2018 03/07- 03/28

By observating the exhibition of architecture which is called GIA project as known as floating boundaries in Nation Chiao Tung University in 2018. I was quite attracted by the ciculation design with the light planning in this exhibition that introduce a sense of flow, and how people were assembled at the specific area within the
translucent curtains and are colored in white, where their fleeting behavior are the ones that revealed the different scale. The foregoing are two concepts that I'm going to handle on this work, which focused on the second floor(red section) in this exhibition.
Left:Photos of the visitors behavior. Center: The relation among booths. Right: Different heights of exhibits cause various viewing sightlines.
Left: Photos of the light planning. Center: Circling the each bright areas. Right: Light influence visitors, and guided visitors movement, therefore recoded the visitors trails.

Paper work. Used A3(420mm x 297mm) watercolor paper, styrofoam glue.Combining the previous result of the analyses. Paper cutting and folding by adopting one single paper to create a spacial perception. These volumes are taken by various lines as abstract the element of light and different heights. This trend is closely related to geometric form somehow. In appearance those spaces are one rhythm.
Futher development of the exhibition, Using another single material in an attempt to express the same concept. Based on the previous paper work, in my opinion, it lacks of the sense of flow which is the main key point of the exhibition. So that I choose the alumium wire which can be highly varied and conduce to reveal the fluidity of the
curtains and different heights refer to the proportion from last work. Before started twisting the wire, I shaped the paper clay as a concept model, and then shapeing the wire conformed to the clay model. The overall impression of this trend is one of liveliness, motion, flow, and a juxtaposition of both simplicity and complexity.

From 2D To 3D
Bauhaus - Textile 2018 04/11 - 04/25

The Bauhaus school in Germany produced some of the most influential figures in modern design. Although mostly remembered for it's revolution in the field of architecture. Also, next year 2019 is the 100 years of the Bauhaus, which is one of the great cultural event of the year. To be frank, classic works of Bauhaus is quite worth reinterpretation and translation. however the textiles art from bauhaus I choose that reminded me of Piet Mondrian whose abstractions still inspired me a lot, the language of Mondrian’s abstraction has fascinated me in exploration of new spatial types.
14
In the analysis process, by dismantling this textile art to observating and refocusing the relations of each blocks. First of all, deviding the textile into five parts for obsrvating closely, and then removed the all black sections from each parts, at last step, separted from white and other colors afterwards, the relationship among all of the colors has became concise and explicit.

Dance With Architecture
Modern Dance - Cloud Gate: Cursive I 2018 05/02 - 05/09
19
Cloud Gate Dance Theater (Chinese: 雲 門 舞 集 ) is a modern dance group based in Taiwan, Cloud Gate created numerous dances that evoked the unique experience of Taiwan people within the larger Chinese and Asian context. However, I don't know any of dancing, but I could never take my eyes off their dance, besides, cursive is one of my favorite font in Mandarin.

Case Study
Zhangke - Micro Hutong 2018 05/16 - 05/23
27 27
Micro Hutong was a building experiment by Zhang ke, the architect who founded the Standard Architecture studio in Beijing. Nowaday this project was slotted into trandictional hutong neighbourhoods as a hostel in Beijing. Micro Hutong took the historical siheyuan( 四 合 院 ) as a reference, featuring five tiny concrete cubes that project at angles into a central courtyard within just 30 square meters.
28
Also, the corrider with rough, irregular concrete around the periphery of the cnetral courtyard, created a glamorous sencery. Their aim of this project – is to search for possibilities of creating ultra-small scale social housing within the limitations of super-tight traditional hutong of Beijing, However, the core idea makes me most impression of this project, which is a excellent case to proceed a study.

Private space
2nd floor
Public space
corrider
communal space Folk Sight line
First of all, in addition to directly observate the entire aspects of the floor plan, also dissemabled the cubes from corrider, in order to truly understand the relationship among the volumes, and stimulating a reinterprtation as a solution of this space.
Beside, by deviding this space into three parts, private space, public space and communal space, obtaining futher more informations to determine the role of each areas. All cubes installed a floor-to-ceiling window that face onto the courtyard, where creates a direct relationship between the cubes in the dynamic volumes and an urban vestibule in the front part of the building. However, sight lines from the courtyard resulted in some vague spaces. 29
There are many intriging information and details lies within the plan, however, it is a pity that it lacks a direct way of delivering the concept of siheyuan.

Left: The main structure. Used 2mm x 3mm bamboo chips, overhead transparencies. Right: The volumes. Used 2mm cardboards, 2mm x 3mm bamboo chips, overhead transparencies.
Above: By modeling in AUTOCAD, the volumes could precisely fit into the coresponding opening of the structure.
