Mass suspended by these frames that embrace and support the existing buildings and broken courtyard.This system is conceived as able to grow and change incidentally without compromising the underlying order. Change of this sort is assumed to be a feature of the future life. The contrast between simple, abstract, orderly patterns and disordered existing patterns is marked, as schemes for the systemic orientation emphasizes the dimensionless underlying order, which remains despite additions and subtractions.

Experiment Drawing Transformation

I tried to build a device to set up the various components to make the results more reliable. So I used a cube as a base frame and set up the dripper at the top, the receiver at the bottom, and the transform device in the middle.

I try to describe the process and the result. The process is more important, because it is a process of transformation, so I will draw process and transformation by projection and overlap, to get the final pattern.

TRANSFORMATION PHASE 1:

Zone Diagram

Based on the modulus of this abstracted site, we can get some control points to help us to begin zone diagrams. The diagram starts from the most basic square, and slowly adds some elements, such as axis, circulations, intersections, etc.

PHASE 2:

The formation of each mass space is reflecting the vertical sense of space. In this phase design, we are exploring the relationship between the mass and frame in a new perspective. The mass is not only the core tube circulation, but also include facility function, space experience, and connection with the site environment. Moreover, it also plays the role of supporting structure. In the void space, the combined five mass give the site a new sense of place.

Thanks 51 We focus on testing mechanical properties of arch and exoskeleton by devices. But exoskeleton is too strong to make it deformation. So we have to use our feet to test them. Digital analysis together with model iterations. Karamba can test accurately and efficiently. 05.
