The earth is the cradle of human beings, but since ancient times, leaving the earth and flying to the stars has always been a dream of human beings. Even if the technology has not been realized, it cannot slow down the endless imagination of mankind for the vast universe. From paintings to films, there are numerous works of art. From Malevich supremacy, to "Blade Runner" and cyberpunk, all of them reflect a yearning to get away from the earth. Many seemingly distant works of art contain scientific predictions based on industrial civilization. Architecture, as a discipline spanning engineering technology and humanities and arts, is bound to not be left behind.

Compared with other planets, Mars has many advantages, such as enough mass to accommodate enough population, sufficient carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, similar length of day and night to Earth and almost the same seasonal changes, etc. These advantages make Mars terraformed Retrofit potential possible.

With this dream in mind, we have carried on research and exploration on the construction of space buildings, mainly focusing on the theme of space travel residential buildings. In the generation of architectural form, we use the method of graphical statics and analyze the basic bodies of different shapes with the assistance of Polyframe and 3D graphical statics, and then generate the main structure of the building through the combination of these basic bodies. At the same time, a concept of "inflatable tent" is used to build a double-layer membrane structure of ETFE in the main structure, and inflate the inside to make it bulge. On the earth, users can choose the type of apartment they want to live in and place an order through the app we made. After that, the various components of the building can be prefabricated on the earth, and then transported to Mars by rocket for assembly. The advantages of this prefabricated inflatable building are: easy to build and move, a variety of combinations can be selected at will, and the functions are very rich.This is a small concept , but the seeds of our dream of exploring space have taken root in our hearts.

For thousands of years, the entire knowledge of architecture has been based on the presence of gravity. One day, buildings will no longer rise from the ground, and the inherent routines and space creation of traditional buildings will be completely subverted. Architects need to re-examine the relationship between people and space, and our spatial code of conduct will not remain the same. Humans have endless curiosity about the unknown outer space and a grand desire to colonize the universe. From the first mission to the moon in 1969 to when SpaceX sent Teslas to Mars to play David Bowie songs, outer space seems to have an innate appeal to designers.

Surface Conditions

Mars is basically a desert planet with sand dunes and gravel all over the surface. There is no stable liquid water body.

Design Concept

Temperature Material Illumination

The average temperature is only -60°C, and there is no direct heating energy on Mars. Maintaining heat at the base becomes especially difficult for the distant planet.

Design Logic Flow Chart

The prefix areo- in English is Mars. Mars was once considered to be the most likely planet in the solar system to have extraterrestrial life.

Human Exploration

site selection, it is necessary to consider whether there are water sources available for direct or indirect use in the surrounding area.

In order to survive in space, in addition to the above conditions, it is very necessary to be able to obtain reasonable lighting. Therefore, sunlight is also required inside the building. In order to achieve this, we need to High-strength lighting glass is used reasonably in the enclosure structure.

3D Graphic Statics is a structural form-finding method for generating compression-only funicular structures. In 3D graphic statics, the static equilibrium of structures is described by using two reciprocal diagrams and their geometric relationship – form and force.

Architecture:

It is useful to explore what shapes have structural information at an early stage of design. By specifying the shapes that control the form and internal forces of the structure, architects can create and study a variety of balanced structures more quickly, without having to analyse each variation.New types of design may emerge, generating new discoveries and ideas unimaginable with traditional tools.

The manipulation and transformation functions of compas_3gs also allow architects to modify and improve any shape of the structure in an intuitive and interactive way.

RENDERING

Trip

Take a walk-away trip to outer space and live in tent-like inflatable structures. Like many camps where tents are grouped together, small building spaces are "clustered" together.

Sturdy

The combination of frames generated by Polyframe and synthetic materials such as EFT illustrates the protective nature and purpose of the building

Comfort

The building space that can be combined and matched and the double-layer shading film can make the occupants stay in a very comfortable building space

Function

As a building composed of many individual small spaces, it contains a variety of spaces with different functions, which can meet the various needs of the occupants

Topology

The scheme is designed according to the topology. It follows the property of geometry or space that remains the same after continuously changing shape.

Large buildings made from small spaces of individual units cobbled together using Polyframe. There are observation deck, laboratory, bedroom, bathroom, green garden, kitchen, study, storage room, gym and other functions. The transparent film material made of ETFE can effectively protect the radiation and dust on Mars. The structures produced by Polyframe are very strong and can handle earthquakes that might occur on Mars very well. Programs can provide the basic elements of life support and have the ability to sustain life. Shelters in settlements act as shells from the harsh external environment to help creatures survive without the need for personal protection. And the environment of Mars can be seen in the case of interference. It is an important part of the experience on another planet. This kind of inflatable structure that can be built quickly could be used as a tent for people to travel to Mars, and people can arrange and organize the space required for large buildings at will.It is helpful to meet people's different functional needs and personalization. Migration to Mars is a very complex subject, and Mars architectural design is an even more complex issue. Human life needs and changes need to be studied in a different environment than Earth. The background of the design is in the distant future, so it is difficult to decide which materials or systems to use. It is difficult to use today's technology in the future. It is impossible to know what new technologies will be available tomorrow or the shortcomings of today's technologies. We can only hope that in the design process the choices made are appropriate. Travel to Mars, in the future

Rugged structure can withstand dust storms and radiation on Mars, keeping occupants safe

The building structure is very beautiful and magnificent, and it is a man-made landscape on Mars.

A gazebo in one of the interior spaces. The shading plate material allows the indoor sunlight to be very good，Membrane material ensures sufficient sunlight in interior spaces

Tokyo Fold is a storytelling game in which the cat and the dog , the two main characters of the game, put together the city of Tokyo, which is split into six pieces , into a complete city through a process of adventure and puzzle solving.

The cats and dogs chosen by the protagonists are translated from the Heisei and Showa generations of Japan respectively. The two generations have different economic conditions, worldviews and living habits; the Showa generation is more like the character of a dog , they work hard, are organised, obedient and disciplined, and have created the economic myth of the Showa post-war period, while the usual young people are more like cats , they are a little less demanding in their desires and less motivated, but also more individual, creating achievements in fields their fathers had not been exposed to.

The translation of the architectural space is a very fragmented Tokyo, where people from different generations go to different places in different generations, and these different generations do not intersect much with each other, mapping Tokyo into six fragments representing different generations of the city, which are iterated by the algorithms in the houdini software, with buildings translated from different historical events, and with great differences in style and elements between the fragments. elemental differences between the fragments.

During the course of the game, the cat and the dog will understand each other's period and social life as they adventure and decipher, understanding the historical conditions that shaped each other's group character and worldview. As the city of Tokyo is put back together as a whole, the cat and dog, representing the two generations within the city, understand each other and ultimately choose to embrace each other.

Characters and Game play

1950s

With the advancement of human technology, human civilization gradually moved to space, and human civilization in space was called the "outlands". Among them, Tokyo continent is the largest continent in the outlands.

In 2077 A.D, Due to the long-term reliance on stars for energy, the stars ran out of life and the gravitational waves caused by the explosion cut all the continents into split plates.

Cultural Foundations and Development

1960s

Yukio and Mishima, two scientists at the Tokyo Institute of Science, concluded after detecting gravitational anomalies that each plate had entered a different era due to gravitational anomalies and that the fate of the continent would end if no attempt was made to unite the plates.

1970s

In 2081 A.D., four years after the split, each board had formed independent regimes and developed very different industries and civilizations based on the era in which they lived, plunging the entire outlands into chaos.

1980s

In order to save the outer civilization, Yukio and Mishima from the Tokyo Research Institute will go to the Tokyo Shard to investigate the situation. However, due to the conflict between the two scientific research philosophy, a huge conflict broke out among the researchers, so they had to split up.

Although Yukio admires Mishima's academic achievements, she dislikes him from the bottom of her heart and thinks that Mishima is an old-fashioned and inhumane person. Not surprisingly, she was scolded by mishima again on this mission, and she was very angry and felt unbelievable. Therefore, yukio will embark on an adventure alone...

Players will control Yukio and mishima respectively into the Tokyo shard, in which they will encounter a variety of interesting phenomena, will encounter the things of different times, will personally experience what happened in a time that does not belong to them.

"Wabi-sabi" is a concept developed in the Edo period in Japan by Honju Seoncho, a person's emotions that arise when the human mind comes into contact with the outside world,Wabi-sabi is an idea that refers to an intuitive way of life that emphasises finding beauty in imperfection and accepting the natural cycle of life and death.

1.Post war recovery period——1950s

After the surrender of Japan in 1945, the economic and educational system was restructured and rebuilt. By the 1950s, Japan was famous as a manufacturer of consumer equipment and electronic products.

3.Coexistence of crisis and development——1970s

In the 1970s, the dollar generated strong depreciation pressure and forced the yen to appreciate. In this process, Japan did not give up its export-oriented economy and bought hidden dangers for the future collapse.

5. The beginning of the Heisei Era——1990s

Japan's economic foam began to burst. As land prices fell sharply, loans guaranteed by land also appeared great risks. At that time, the non-performing loans of major Japanese banks were exposed one after another, which caused a serious blow to Japanese finance.

2.Rapid development in——1960s

The industrial environment and international environment are suitable, together with the smooth hosting of the Olympic Games and the rapid development of railways, which have greatly increased Japan's confidence and sustained economic development, but social movements are also surging.

4. The Showa era reached its peak——1980s

Japan's post-war economic development reached its peak in the 1980s, and Tokyo has also become the world's largest and most prosperous urban agglomeration, with a forest of high-rise buildings and lights.

6. Entering the new century——2000s

After the collapse of the foam economy, Japan's land assets and stock assets have shrunk significantly, and the Japanese government's debt has exceeded 1.7 times GDP, the worst performance in the entire OECD countries.

1990s

After reaching different areas, they soon found a way to save the outlands. They finallysaved the outlands and understood each other.Tokyo City took on a whole new look.

2000s

Outlands build process and technical analysis

In building 6 panels that make up the game world, we first converted the historical features represented by the panels into simple graphics, using parameterisation to generate the graphics as the main skeleton of 6 panels. The buildings on the skeleton were then organised according to the habits of cats and dogs to shape the feeling of space.

Parameterisation ideas The process of plate element extraction and skeleton generation

We think about what factors have influenced the 6 main plates over time. Therefore, in constructing the main skeleton, we introduced random parameters and some basic modular transformations, giving each change a random number.

(£:α=.015 * pow((detail("../ repeat_begin1_metadata1/", "numiterations", 0) - detail("../repeat_ begin1_metadata1/", "ivalue", 0)), .7) β=detail("../repeat_begin1_ metadata1/","tteration",0)

Two examples of space design based on the main skeleton

The skeleton of the 2 panels was selected for the specific spatial design, which combines the results of the translation of historical events with the behavioural habits of dogs and cats.

The combination of the dog's love of Frisbee sports and the circular space in the city.

The dog's linear thinking is integrated into the design of the road.

1. Create a board developed around the box, we can control his size, the division of the axes. Algebra is used to represent the small surfaces in each direction, and controlled data is used to vary the group and distance squeeze to obtain a relatively regular module.

2. Based on the rules module, we introduced random numbers in Global seed and Zscale and Extrude Distance for one iteration, and added different distributions to simulate the problems encountered in modern development in Tokyo.

The main skeleton of the 6 segments

3.The changes on the surface are incorporated into modules, a For-loop loop is introduced, and several iterations are performed. Each module is used to simulate the changes that will occur in 6-12 years when Tokyo City encounters a random event.

axis divisions:5,20,5

4. Introducing all the changes and parameters with certain restrictions, 11 Forloop iterations were used to simulate the changes of the 6 Tokyo plates themselves after the Big Bang, and finally the main skeleton of the 6 plates was obtained.

Dogs love being able to race for space.

Dogs love to socialise and they need more space to gather.

A hard-working dog always wants to keep moving upwards in pursuit of a better life.

Cats love the feeling of walking through caves.

The spherical object is a favourite of cats and will be a spiritual icon in the city of cats.

Cats' curvy thinking allows their cities to have more unconventional roads.

Climbing is in the nature of cats and is their mode of entertainment.

lively cat enjoys more interesting spaces, such as curves in different spatial dimensions.

very different from their original era. At this time, a series of information suddenly appeared in front of them. They need to pass the test of the level of different eras before they can finally pass the level. As the progress of the level progresses, the urban fragments of the two eras will gradually merge with each other.

In order to compress the land area and rapidly expanding population, the civilian buildings were basically high-rise.In this way, the land area used is reduced, because the space of urban debris is very limited, and you can save some if you can.

The buildings on the Heisei Shard were covered with

silica-titanium fiber panels to prevent the erosion of

gravitational debris and to efficiently use the energy of

stellar radiation.

The education system is widespread, and the old

The space station is the epitome of people's will. Due to economic and technological constraints, the utilization rate of new energy sources is low, and it is trying to expand into space.

In order for people to survive in space, the space station has various functions to meet the needs of people's daily life, and people can live happily in it, just like on the earth.

Merged outlands and Games UI

Yukio and Mishima finally succeeded in breaking the crisis and uniting the shattered Tokyo, and the conflicts between Showa and Heisei people were finally resolved in this catastrophe, leaving Tokyo in a peaceful, prosperous and flourishing scene.

Players can choose their last play option to save and continue playing, or play a new game when they enter the page.Progress needs to be archived in a timely manner to prevent loss.

Tokyo was divided into six parts under the influence of a mysterious force. The six fragments carry memories and histories of different eras, mutually exclusive. The player's task is to complete their respective tasks by exploring the free map, and finally let the 6 fragments merge with each other.

Players can choose levels based on their progress, and the initial model of the level will naturally grow as you progress through the level, eventually expanding into a fragment waiting to be combined.

The background of the game story is that Tokyo is divided into six fragmented worlds under the background of the multiverse. It tells the story of two ordinary masters and apprentices who embark on a journey to save the world. process of understanding.This single-player game uses two players playing a pair of teachers and students, teaming up to break through levels, and exploring the semi-open world sand box as the game method. It mixes elements such as driving and fighting. During the game, players can play the game online or fight with th e computer AI.

Players walk around the shards of the city and have a conversation with an NPC triggering various types of main and side quests, which are completed in separate sections.

When the two work together to complete the game, the two random world fragments will attract and fuse with each other, completing the merger of the worlds and returning part of the space to its original stateafter all six worlds merge, the player reaches a level of achievement.The collision of space debris creates a violent explosion and fusion, symbolising the collision of the inner worlds of the two players and the final mutual understanding.

Players take on the roles of two parties with different perspectives on the main story. In online mode, both parties can interact with each other via joystick operation.

Conclusion：

The conflict between Heisei and Showa has never been solely due to the age difference between the generations. When we explore this issue more deeply and dialectically, we find that perhaps there is no one faction that is right. Every thoughtless act of the "cat" and "dog" is invariably changing the city, and even after the merger, Tokyo cannot be restored to its original form, but is held in a new balance. Perhaps the best outcome is to seek common ground and mutual understanding, and to live with each other's differences; perhaps this conflict is originally a conflict that cannot be solved; perhaps "conflict" is the order to maintain this big piece of humanity. We ended this seemingly intense farce with a gentle game, but the reality of Tokyo is still full of contradictions. The core concept of traditional Japanese aesthetics is that "imperfections have more meaning," but in reality, the city of Tokyo is interpreting and implementing the beauty of wabi-sabi in a more surreal way.

Narrative Cemetery Design

Individual work

Time: 2022.03-2022.06

Location: Cairo, Egypt

Tutor: Junzhuo Zhang

As a part of urban planning, memorial architecture has its special significance and will make great contributions to the city. It not only makes users feel the past , but also creates a practical experience in the present . Its connotation and spirituality represent a period of history to some extent. The cemetery is one of them.

The cemetery reflects the cultural characteristics of a region and an era. As the final destination of the journey of life, it not only buries the dead , but also undertakes a bond to maintain feelings . It is a place for cultural inheritance People are emotional animals, and emotions affect people's rationality or sensibility, pleasure or depression, active participation or passive acceptance. The cemetery is not only the resting place for the dead, but also the place to place the mourning of the living. It is the emotional link between life and death, tangible and intangible.

However, there are many problems in today's cemeteries. The rapid growth of population and the accelerated development of land have led to the rapid growth of the price of cemeteries in recent years. The unit price per square meter of some cemeteries is even comparable to that of houses. Another example is the lack of fairness, appropriateness, artistry and respect in modern cemetery. So I have this question: what kind of cemetery space can make the dead go to eternity in a more dignified way? For the living, what kind of space can better carry the missing and find the comfort and hope of the living in the memory?

The general plan is arranged around the pyramid, roughly in a complete broken line shape and the shape of the building at each corner will shrink or enlarge.In the external area, a corridor is used to enclose the overall space to a certain extent, making it more rhythmic.

This place leads to the interior of the pyramid, which can be reached through the rising platform at the lower part, which also forms a certain communication with the pyramid, highlights the theme of "happy cemetery" and eliminates people's fear of death.

The final form of the "happy cemetery" is formed through the superposition and repetition of six different units, including entrance, play area, memorial area, meditation area, etc. People can get the best experience in it, which can make people feel that death is no longer a frightening thing, but a world to live in. People who come to the memorial ceremony will not feel special sadness under the influence of the overall space environment. They can better look at the death of their loved ones, maintain their love for life and establish a correct concept of life and death.

Tutor: Junzhuo Zhang

As urbanisation progresses, more and more problems are being exposed in the city, such as various environmental problems, the emergence of urban villages and the many people who are unemployed as a result of rapid urbanisation, which is particularly evident in Guangzhou. How to solve these problems is still debatable, but we can also contribute our share.

The site is located in an urban village in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, where the contradictions of the city are particularly clear, the environment is very dirty and there are many unemployed people, which seriously affects the image of the city.

The whole building uses the concept of urban cracks, with huge cracks in the north-west and south-east facades, as if they were fissures. Within the cracks there are many forms that grow like a village in a city, which is a cultural legacy of the area, and the whole building is shaped as if it were growing out of a village in a city. Around the tower there are a number of podiums with different functions, which I have linked together by means of a footbridge, the shape of the connection being mainly a reference to cheese.

I hope to solve some problems in the city through this design, including but not limited to those mentioned above. It may seem a little trivial, but I believe that when many such small forces gather together, it will play a huge role and the whole city will change for it.

The skyscrapers that grow out of the villages in the city continue the local traditional culture and sublimate it. It plays a role in the renewal of the city, improving the environment of the city and enhancing people's happiness.Skyscrapers make it possible for cities to increase the amount of floor space on the same amount of land. They also make it possible for cities to grow and industry to flourish. They raise the price of more human and efficient Spaces for business owners and workers. At the end of the day, cities are about human communication, but architecture makes that communication easier and provides plenty of new space for creative people.

The podium has an elevation created by curve interference, and the base of the catwalk is supported by shaped columns

The main entrance to the exhibition, which leads to the exhibition hall, has a tower shaped like a cracked fissure

Looking up at the tower from the escalator in the podium, you see the form of the building in the shape of an urban village splitting through the cracks
