01 THE VIOLENCE IN THE AIR

FALL 2021 NAHYUN HWANG STUDIO, PLEIN AIR

TIANJIN, CHINA

The violence of the air manifests itself in several different ways, and the air sometimes acts as a medium that participates in or transmits a lot of violence and inequity.

China's industrial development has several different phases, each phase has particular policies to guide the direction of development, different instructions to guide different industries.

These policies selectively produce certain types of air in certain areas.

To some extent, we consider this different air could express the economic and political disparity between different regions of the country.

Phase 4

A bridge is built over the entire site. The Memorial Ground began to undergo more drastic changes. People could see from the bridge that the whole site was gradually disintegrating, leaving only broken pieces of the former park.

The Pit at the center of the explosion is growing larger, roughly similar to the huge smoke from previous explosions. The Memorial Ground is able to use air as a medium, forming a dramatic new landscape to expose violence in the air.

“The use of fluid responsive formwork is atechnique of constructing which allows the behaviour of material to engage with and influence the building process itself. ” Alan Chandler

1.1 Concept & Model Tests

Fabric formwork is a construction technique that involves the use of structural membranes as the primary finishing material for concrete molds.Unlike traditional formwork, this material is highly flexible and can deflect under the pressure of fresh concrete.

The resulting form exhibits curvature as well as good surface treatment, which is usually independent of concrete structures.

This work will be based on material testing and will be presented as a household item, taking into account the integration of the work with the surrounding environment.

3.1 Final Mold Design

The diagram below shows the horizontal relationship between the formwork structure. From the top to bottom, The hanger is used to tie with the elastic fabric. A pinch is created in the center part of the formwork in the order of wood plank, elastic fabric, second wood plank, the second layer of elastic fabric, thrid wood plank. The concrete is pouring in between two layers of elastic fabric. The supports in the bottom of the formwork is used to protect the pinch and the main pattern from broken.

Perspective of Section Modle

The main structure of the formwork consists of one layer of 9-mm-thick wood plank and a layer of elastic fabric. Other parts of it is built by 9-mmthick plank which are cut in the factory then transported to the site.The bearing structure is the vertical wood planks around sides, which are strengthened by central symmetrical structure forming beams along sides.

The elastic fabric is hung on the beam upon it by nylon cable ties. The plate pinch in the middle is hang on the beam by steel strand. The concrete is poured from those four sides and the final total weight of concrete is over 300 kg.

By modeling the sculptures, we want to explore forms and textures of the table lamp base. Through the number of the holes; the size of the holes and the distance between the holes, we gradually get apporach to the form we want.

Through the process of using fabric, we find fabric's natural elasticity gives more possibility of the form and it is easy to control the distortion of the textures.

03 MEMORY CAPSULE

LIVERPOOL, UK People's perception of historical stories is diverse. It is believed our perception of their color, texture and space are deep in memory.

This project tried to use architectural language to represent the stories of the old building.

The History of Toxteth Reservoir and Liverpool 1800s

1940s

In 1830, The population grew rapidly, especially with Irish migrants

The Reservoir was designed to provide clean water in order to improve health and sanitation for the rapidly increasing population of the City.

During the Second World War, the city of Liverpool was the centre for planning the crucial Battle of the Atlantic. A bomb blasted a hole in the reservoir.

The industrial revolution boosted Liverpool's trade.

As a port city, Liverpool has never been more prosperous

Property prices are down in the Toxteth, and strikes and Labour protests are frequent

05 CALENDAR

MANCHESTER , LAKE DISTRICT

Calendar, record time, record changes. As the wooden boards on the surface of the copper wall are removed by visitors, the surface of the copper is gradually exposed.

Due to the material properties of copper, the copper exposed to the air and rain will react with discoloration. As the exposure time varies, the copper will present different colors.

These colors are a record of time.

By collecting and using the local material, The building was built by storytellers and listeners.

Start

A year later, some planks were take and burned and the copper wall were exposed to the air.

The color of the wall changed after it reactd with air and water.

1 Years

As time goes on, the colors begin to appear green.

Things in the lake district are slowly changing over time as well.

3 Years

After all the planks have been removed, the entire wall has this gradient of color.

All that remains here is a monument to time.

Phase I : “Prelude” 8:00 am

A 10-minute walk from the dam will be the prologue to the story.

START

Phase II : “STORY” 1:00 pm

The three Spaces allow people to communicate with each other and become close to each other, preparing for the next step.

Phase III : “BURN IT” 8:00 pm

Storyteller and listeners start the Oral Storytelling. They will sit together in a circular fashion on the bay, and then remove one piece of the exterior of the building to make a fire.

Phase IV : “CALENDAR” Years Later

The building burned to the ground, leaving only a copper wall.The color of the surface tells the story of what happened here.
