The Design of Biomaterial in the Tectonics of Smart Buildings Advisor : Tay-Sheng, Jeng Duration : 12 months
SUMMARY As time progresses, whether it is nature’s changing conditions or human adaptation, architectural space must react to the change in circumstances that interact between people and the environments. Space will produce new appearances and feedback in response to change. Thus, materials become the increasingly research topic in order to deal with the very nature of change. This research attempts to explore the concept of materials, providing complex new spatial environments and forms, not only achieving innovative architectural expressions, different types of experiences in space and sustainable development, but also exploring the potential and diversity of materials. This thesis, with “biomimetic materials� as its main subject, explores intelligent building based on dynamic architectural surface design, the involvement of biomimetic materials in the process of construction, the ability to sense physical changes in the environment, and the capacity to self-adjust shape and size with folding mechanisms. The first step on the research is the full comprehension of the material properties and morphology control, with the organization patterns, connections, and folding structures, to make room for an elastic dynamic performance. This research conducted a series of experiments, studying the forms, construction and adaptation of materials. Using interdisciplinary technologies and practical models, analyzing the dynamic effects and using parametric design to synchronize both simulation and testing. Finally, this study presents how the natural conditions and environmental factors react together, affecting the form of the space, giving significance to the performance in a dialogue between construction and the material.

[ Project C ] Construction of Polygon Components During the dynamic transformation of the deformation and control of polygon fabric module, the design sets parameters for stimulation and to take several time points to observe the process of stretching. In spatial design, he shading canopy hexagonal and polygon modules of the façade are shown in Figure 3. Using the environmental information, the design to drive and control the amount of deformation. e.g. the central point of a blossom flower, causing the deformation chain-effect. Besides, this could be used to combine heat insulation panel in order to block controllable amount of sunlight to enter the indoor space in the future.

[ Project D ] Construction of Membrane Components During the transformation, a 10 x 5 matrix stimulating dynamic skin is used as show in Figure 4. Flexinol combined with white glue shows the softness and shaping ability of the material. Similar to the deformation of an air bag, the design presents dynamic transition effects through a vertical façade. In spatial design, the expansion of the patterns extends and increases the flows of gas and light. It reduces sunlight exposure while the patterns deflated.

Wall as genesis Advisor : Wang, Ming-Hung Duration : 4 months This project begins with the analysis of traditional Chinese facades in residential buildings. The focal point of this evaluation is to discover ratios between all the walls. Having gathered that information, countless new spaces can be generated with those same ratios but in different configurations, with different structures upon, as well as behind the walls. 01.

The Yard The back of the house greatly contrasts the front by being a picture of silence and simplicity. It contains a long porch and a serene living room. In between the posterior and anterior parts of the house and through the house, the main character of the whole design floats as a bridge that connects all areas yet divides the lively front and the quiet back.

Study Model
02. Structure The design of the structure also follows the ratios of a traditional Chinese house. Foundations and walls set following these ratios are the basis of the new design.
The prespective Without losing the ratios of traditional Chinese architecture previously analyzed out of sight, new structural and architectural elements are added to the original walls to create varying shapes and aesthetic representations.

Urban-Habitat Architecture Adviser : Kato Yoshio Duration : 4 months The Yolo Bypass Wildlife rivers will flow high in winter and that extreme weather events will result in floods. In addition, climate change will result in more rainfall earlier in the winter and less snowpack runoff later in the season, causing rivers to remain fuller for a longer period of time. It is to that area that water typically is released when reservoirs and rivers grow full during extreme wet weather. Therefore, flood control issues in the Sacramento Valley have always been a significant aspect here.

Concept : Urban-Habitat The idea of this concept is to design the project using less solid walls to create new spaces with more native elements of this enviroment. Also, keeping the function of the levee and, transform into a reservoir. As a result, the new levee system can combine the wetlands and agriculture area. People can have a special experience in an urban-habitat.
Concept Sketch
Between Levees The first step is hiding the space into the ground , integrating the levee and the space to create decks that are easy to access. Another consideration is absorbing the winds from the wetlands to discard the heat from the interior. However, most important of all is intaking floodwater.

Alleys : A Relief for the City Advisor : Bo-Yang, Lin Architect Duration : 9 months City life can be very busy and stressful. It is common to see people in big cities in a worse mood and with much more pressure than their rural counterparts. Cities need to provide their habitants a space to relax. Different spaces could easily do this, but with rapid urban growth, they are constantly blocked off or built in. The purpose of this project is to revive and renovate city spaces so they can provide a mental relief to its citizens.

The Site Plan : Between Market and School The ground floor is an inner square surrounded by corridors formed by the original granary as well as new spaces. It connects the new design with the neighborhood. The second floor has some extended bridges that connect the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alleys. The main pathway weaves through all the floors, through new and old spaces. It contains curves and slopes, yet is a loop which makes it safer and harder for children to get lost in, without subtracting from the fun children can have. The third floor is a small garden where children can experience the agricultural process of planting, gathering and using produce in kitchens where adults can also share with other people in the community. The top floor is a large playground with sand hills and grass, where children and adults can have a nature-like experience within the city. Visitors can feel sand on their feet, touch plants with their hands, and look up at the sky.

The Transit Station Advisor : Fang-Chung, Tu Duration : 5 months A transit station is like a letter not in its physical form of a written message, but as a feeling of nostalgia of a letter from home. A transit station is not an unforgettable place, but a place where unforgettable memories are created. A transit station is not a place to go to particularly, but it is a place full of greetings and farewells. A transit station is not only a destination, but also a beginning. A transit station, big or small, gives an image of the city and its residents. The purpose of this project is to change the idea that a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit station is only that, but the face of the city of Taichung; may people immediately know where they have arrived as soon as they see the transit station.
Concept : The park as a point of transition Improving the image of the city may start by diversifying the type of activities that take place in its transit station. With the addition of green areas and attracting people to this location as a leisurely activity, people can be found not only waiting for a bus, but also running, enjoying the scenery, or interacting with one another.

Form follows the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pattern For one whole decade, behind Taichungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important road, a huge hole has been taking up space and negatively affecting its surroundings. With the issue of improving the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit station in mind, both concerns can be solved in one joint project that can transform an unpleasant landmark into a useful, aesthetically pleasing urban feature.

Museum + Private Business Advisor : Cheng-Tao, Lu Duration : 5 months This project aims to reveal the archaeological richness of Taiwan. Located in the Yuan-shan area in Taipei, the site of this case contains remains of previous human civilizations, as well as natural fossils that reveal much about life in the area throughout history. However, the government lacks funding to attend to this areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s archaeological findings. With the financial support of private business, this project can take off with a contract that will be mutually beneficial for the museum and the private enterprise.
Site Analysis This diagram analyzes how to extract information from the environment and follow such patterns in the design. The highway divides the site and the community, and also leaves an unused space under. Also, the main volume follows the form of the terrain, creating an evident relationship between the hill and the space.
