Responsive Flexible Structure No Site Project, Site-Responcive Design

Weaving technique makes it possible to manufacture a flexible structure. However, due to the scale and the complexit y, weaving struc ture is difficult to be applied in an practical architecture design without a robotic arm. To control the flexibility of a larger-scale weaving structure system, a program of robotic weaving was seen as a solution. We try to translate the traditional weaving to a robotic weaving language in various ways, such as materials, methods, weaving tech, and machine. I n our robotic weaving program, various weaving units which support different loads can be found to apply on all prototypes, like a wall, a floor,or a chair.

New Extrusion Nozzle Design

New Instrument Design Task Eventhough the PLA printing is now a common technology in 3D printing, it is still challenging to print by a robotic arm since we need to find a suitable machine to print, design how to hold the tool with robotic arm, and, moreover, improve the original tool, etc. For instance, in case our extrusion nozzle crashed what had printed, we decieded to design a whole new one lengthened nozzle. 11

Sufficient printing tests help us decide some critical value due to the material limitation. It is also noteworthy that we take advantage of robtic "4D" printing ability to print something what an FDM 3D printer cannot print. That is, during the material behaviour printing test, we print what is challenging and what would be printed in our weaving system, like bridges and ver tical printing in certain angel.

By selecting certain length to remove in order to control the deformation. O ver all the processes, the first procedure after weaving is to detect possible removable structures by their angles, responding the force direction. After that, select the certain length structure to remove in order to control the deformation level.

Printing Order To keep from crashing printed things when moving, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to arrange the order. It seems to be a great order to print by the Z-level. In other words, the same Z-level groups will print first then from bottom to top. In the same Z-level group, more vertical structure will be priority processing to avoid crashing what had printed.

Print First

Print Secondly

Force Analysis and Deformation This program and the new robotic weaving technique can be applied to a l m o s t a l l p ro to t y p e s w h i c h need to do load-carrying task. By analyzing force dirrection and needed deformation level, responsive nodes amount and strucuture would be generated automatically through parametric operation.

create a facility which can provide two types of space for human behaviors and voxelize it to analyze the force

according to data of force , analyze and the deformation through karamba software and calculate the data

according to the deformation data arrange appropriate nodes to different units

connect each nodes and filter every angle to make sure this weaving can comply with the deformation that we estimated

Implementation in Architecture Environment The project can create sufficient flexibility to users so that a wall or other elements of architecture could be soft and flexible in the future. Meanwhile, flexibility can be controled by removing certain pipes. Which means that deformation length can be adjusted easily by giving multiple numbers of angle filter.

Suburban Fields Provide an Opportunity to Present Living Complexity

" I like complexity and contradiction in architecture. I do not like the incoherence or arbitrariness of incompetent architecture nor the precious intricacies of picturesqueness or expressionism. " - Robert Venturi, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture

With time passing by, the urban territory keeps expanding. Various features of a city start to be brought to the suburban areas, which caused that boundaries between an urban and a suburban get more and more ambiguous. In other words, they become more amd more similar.

Urban Zoning Discipline vs. Suburban Complexity Due to the discipline of urban zoning, the living condition in a city were very similar or bored. Perfect urban zoning rules start to restrict everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living or social environment. Suburban, on the other hand, shows a highly complex and flexible living condition because of an incomplete planning background.

Rude Replacement Strategy for Taipei City's Expansion

Nangang New Business District? We don't think so...

The situation that suburban fields would be seen as the hinterland of a city is unstoppable. Moreover, a large number of abandoned factories and facilities in the suburban becomes a perfect filed to replace with new business district. That is, the whole replacement strategy is the easiest and the most common way to expand the territory of Taipei city.

In our opinion, we kind of agree to the fact about urban expansion and consider suburban as a part of the city. However, we propose an assumption that previous suburban living experience shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be erased instantly after the replacement. The living scenery in suburbans shouldn't be replaced with a new but bored business district. 19

Due to the previous history policy, as an industrial outskirt, lots of superscale institution were collec ted in Nangang, including factories, railway workshops, and even military campings. All of these large scale institution shapes the urbab fiber of Nangang today. With the urban expending these years, lots of those facilities became useless, and would be replaced by new urban elements, which includes center business district, hotels, and luxury resiential according to the government's planning.

Nangang Conservation Area Proposal How to use suburban fields to make it remain original existing complex living condition, but, achieve the expected urban booming development at the same time? That is, we propose the new concept u s i n g t h e s e f i e l d s, a n "o u t s k i r t conservation area", rather than whole replacement. Some functions and facilities used to see in Nangang before would be reproduced and be collected here inside the conservation area, which brings the living scenery back to the site. Neighbourhood model, green open space, and flexible land using, which are familiar to the suburban, would reveal again.

Multiple Ground Strategy A ground platform provides residents enough space to progress their events. The reveal of multiple ground gives different public space to use, including opened park and semiprivate acticities. Moreover, raising the volume up to create a totally free circulation, allowing people explore the suburban fields and events.

Typical Ground Zoning Condition Cities nowadays follows the discipline of urban zoning, which means that every movements are in order, lacking of any other flexibility.

Free Ground Conditon Rather than well-planning situation, a free ground condition invents the new way to explode a vast land by free circulation and organic programing. Different functions pop up in various places, which allow residents access easily and start to bring the various everyday-ness events. 26

Multiple Programing

The Overall Programing Strategy As the new planning of conservation area, the proposal should be able to connect all the periphery fabric from past industry to nowadays. In the north of site provides an abundant amount of programing overlapping on different ground level. The south side, on the other hand, creates a massive green open space to allow the people, not residents limited, access to use the field of sububan. The story in this site starts become different from the way it was planned before, which was a luxury and bored business district. Boulevard provides people a truly use right of road, and new neighbourhood model makes residents have no limitation with visitors but keep some private at the same time thanks to the elevated public ground platform. 27

Taichung Vertical EXPO Central District, Taichung, Taiwan

Central District History Context

dead existing buildings hot spots dead areas green & blue ribbon site location

As the most prosperous area before, Taichung's central district involves res id ents ' me mo r y. Nowadays, however, it seems to disappear since there's no more young people staying here or any new building was constructed here. Eventhough there's some hot spots are located in this district discretely and even the new Taichung station, people always come here only for those certain spots and then leave. How to connect the relationships between the new hot spots and those dead areas would be a tough and main task in this project.

The Fashionable Yongqi Department Store As the first department store which leads the fashion industry in Taiwan, Yongqi Dept. Store is a memorable history in residents' heart. Now, the building of Yongqi still stands there in central district, but the people and the stores didn't exist anymore. I try to plan the whole new urben block to shape a fashion industry and consume area and to attract poeple stay to explore the city at the same time. Human Heat

The shape of building is transformed by the concept of a clothes hanger. Like a hanger hangs the clothings in a free way, the new building hangs different functional spaces. These "clothings" district the differnt use of space, including the space of shopping, studios, exhibitions, and even hotel space. And lik e the backstage space in a fashion show, the backstage space in the department store is also seperated by the "clothings".

Architecture After a Disaster : The Rise of Sea Level

H ow wo u l d t h e a rc h i te c t u re h ave become after a disaster happened in the future? Due to the progressive global warming, the rise of sea level is clearly predictable. Architects need to rethink the living spaces in the future. Moreover, the polluted water is difficult for people to use. Meanwhile, it seems more important

to think about the representation of human history and social relationships rather than redesigning a whole new urban. This program provides not only sufficient living spaces floating on the water but also complete communities equiping perfect living funtions, which represent the human society.

flooded area

Predictable And Pre-constructible According to Science Magazine, the speed of sea level rising is faster than predicted. The sea level has climbed approximately 0.2m during the last 100 years. Since the temperature keeps climbing, the sea level seems to jump over 1.4m before 2100s.

Biology to Geometry It is interesting to note that coral reefs reveal some amazing combination ways. Furthermore, coral reefs are also an important sign of water pollution. As a result, they can be seen as a symbol of ocean to represent the insular (island) characteristics. Analyzing the pattern of coral reefs to generate the possible geometry, and proposing the minimal unit and its relationship to other units or space.

What is also notewor thy is that the rise of sea level is a disaster which happens slowly but keeps g o i n g, w h i c h m e a n s a rc h i te c t s need to develop a long-run urban planning instead of a temperorary housing. Since the rise of sea level is predictable, we can construct them before the situation getting worse.

Representation of the Urban / Urgent Architecture / Disaster Response / Minimal Living Space / Community Rebuild

Based on the concept of coral reefs, analyzing their features helps construct a "living pod" to intake needed people. In this case, people seems like a clownfish in a sea anemones. The sea anemone for clownfish means the living pod for people in this project.

The raising of floor slabs and the use of glass both makes children's every movments can all be captured in eyes easily. Suficient sunlight with the shadow of trees provides a perfect environment to read books, which is the concept comes from the memory that people gather under the tree. Moreover, the design of light structure and modular system make it easier to construct. Height (cm)
