Regenerative design of drainage system based on biomimicry in Tainan __ Tainan City, Taiwan Type: Years: Software:
Academic Work (Graduation) September 2020 Rhino, Grasshopper, Enscape, AutoCAD, ArcMap, Space Syntax, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Cooperation: Individual Supervisor: Kuowei Eleazar-Godfrey Chiu Publication: https://reurl.cc/9rxaoa
Human face many impacts and problems under climate changes that cause the environment becomes worse and worse. Flooding is the main challenge to face that a large number of Asian cities endure flooding while the climate changing and urban developing. The project aims to solve the structural problem of urban. The design strategies were learned from the natural inspiration and emulate from species survival functions. Taking Tainan City and Anna District as a template for most other Asian cities, Naiads optimizes the drainage system to regulate urban surface overflow. Furthermore, Naiads processes the runoff during heavy rain that helps to solve flooding problems and to enhance the community's sustainability.
ISSUE ANALYSIS Under the climate change issue, I argue the main sustainable development goals to achieve are clean water, industry and infrastructure, sustainable city and community, climate action, life below water, and life on land. Moreover, along with the seaward development and extreme weather in Asia, the cities are potential to be flexible integration of land and water into the new and old ground. In essence, it is to let water flow in anywhere it could. We should live with the water, rather than defeat it. That is what the resilience city all about.
SITE HISTORY Ta i n a n i s a t y p i c a l c o a sta l city in Asia, such as Bangkok, Tokyo, Mumbai, where are rapidly expanding seaward. F u r t h e r m o re , t h e y w i l l b e vulnerable to flooding caused by sea-level rising and extreme weather. Anna District is one of the particular areas which located on the border of Tainan city. According to the prediction from Space Syntax analysis a n d d e v e l o p m e n t h i s t o r y, here is believed to be the next developing area for extending Tainan city. Nevertheless, here will be the largest area covered by seawater in Taiwan if the sea level keeps rising. Anna District also endures flooding very often
in summer in recent decades. All of these site conditions cover most factors that cause flooding in Asia. Anna District was an inland sea before the 19th century. However, the area has evolved to reclaimed land since 1823, a l o n g w i t h t h e i n u n d at i o n o f t h e Ze n g we n R i ve r. T h e coastline moved to the current position that followed with the inundation. The evolution influences the development of industry and communities. The inland sea became lagoon first, that the industry was still original fishing. In the next period, the area became many pounds for aquaculture and detention basin. Finally, the area became land for agricultural use. Conclusion the evolution history, the area was formed from the river inundation, which means flooding is the original condition pattern, although it harms many communities and ecology.
SITE ISSUES ANALYSIS The site locates at Anna District centre. As the analysis illustrates, the site suffers flood due to the law ground level and water facility shortage. Furthermore, here face the soil liquefaction risks caused by the soil components. After considering the challenges and spatial characteristics, the problems could be concluded in three issues, water flow (in or out), broken detentions (in a community or industrial area), and (mangrove) ecology.
Significant Issue Plan Water Flow / Waterways /Detention Agriculture Area / Flood Residential Zone / Distorted Detention Area / Affected Households / Wetland Conservation Area Destroyed detention space lost the function to hold water well Destroyed detention space that force water flows to the neighbour community
Potential Risks of Soil Liquefaction This layer and next layer illustrate the high risks of soil liquefaction in the site, especially around the central communities and the potential developing areas. It caused by soil quality. Soil liquefaction is one of the significant issues that the risks increase after theearthquake and flood.
Soil Quality The layer shows the site is mainly formed with sandy soil and sedimentary soil
Water Facilities The layer shows that the site lacks proper water facilities—only a few pumping stations downstream. The pumping station does not work during flooding because the stream stage always is higher than the community, caused by the water drained upstream. Additionally, there is too much outside run-off flow directly from upstream that is always beyond the facilities’ limit.
Easily Flooding Areas The layer illustrates that flooding mainly happens in the low-lying area, especially the site’s central community. The residential areas and the potential developing areas are the lowest in the site, which means water flows automatically and causes flooding.
Figure Ground
DESIGN STRATEGIES I argue that the site needs to optimise the waterway system to regulate extra runoff from upstream. Additionally, it must have functions to store water and prevent structure failure while developing a new community in the damaged detention space. The design intends to create a resilient and inclusive community that protects life and ecology while facing climate change. In order to have more efficiently strategies, I mainly investigate the biological blueprints that have been successful survived over millennia. The natural inspirations came from leaves loops, Avicennia Aerial roots, heart valves, retort cells and resurrection fern, which gave the helpful strategies applied in the design.

DESIGN The designed system, Naiads, includes three specific designs, Potameides (waterway system), Eleionomae (river park) and Samia (detention communities). These designs enhance the resilience of the drainage system to deal with the excess surface water flow from upstream or rainfall. Instead of excluding flooding, this drainage system well controls water flow and includes the outweighed water into the communities. Potameides separates water flow to protect exited communities, while Eleionomae delays the flood peak and creates multifunctional hydrophilic space. Samia stores water to decrease disasters caused by flooding water.
Potameides
|Waterway system
Eleionomae |River park

|Detention community
POTAMEIDES Potameides is emulated from leaves loops that some main waterways are set between villages, and more connections between main waterways are created. The calculated result came from Grasshopper. With the optimised waterway routes, Potameides will be improved by increasing facilities, such as setting bioswale and water tanks beside the community's waterways. In the low laying community, the system helps to separate the outside flow from the local rainfall, which help to bounce back quickly after flooding.
ELEIONOMAE The multi-level waterway in the park controls water speed and reduces drainage stresses. It also slows down the flow and delays flood peaks by the meandering water routes and J-Hook Van. The smooth pavement is a humanfriendly design for multi-activities. Moreover, it promotes the ground to absorb water. During the heavy rain, the river park works as buffer protection; on the other hand, the grassland will be covered by tidal regularly like a WETLAND. It provides the chance for mangrove ecosystem extension. Also, the park creates a hydrophilic space for the public as well. The activities change as the tidal. The Park not only works as a flow manager but also as a parentchild educational park. It enhances the public's sense and knowledge of water.
Normal Days
Flooding
SAMIA Create detention space with water cells and water tanks underground that help to control the urban overflow. The water cells in the existing community are set along with the road system. These cells separate the outside flow from the local rainfall. On the other side, the cells in the newly developing community are hidden under the brick road—the cells extent to store water during flooding that holds water instead of flowing to other communities. Due to the declined ground level, the water could flow into the cells from tanks without pumps. In addition, the water cells under routes extent with the same size that preserves the mobility for the community. Also, the cells in public space have various but designed volumes, creating a temporary landscape during flooding. Furthermore, the water tanks combine with stone columns is the main foundation improvement for newly developing communities to face soil liquefaction challenges.
CONCLUSION In conclusion, Naiads intents to regenerate urban surface to regulate overflow. The designs optimise the drainage system and regulates water resources. It enhances the resilience and sustainability of the community. Naiads also makes the public close to the water and flood, with more opportunities to touch and live with water, rather than against it. This attitude helps to improve the collective engagement between government and community.
Naiads protects the life below water and the ecology while facing and adapting to climate change, especially the rising sea level and extreme weather. Reuse and inclusive the flood water into daily life is resource-efficient responsive. The functions of the infrastructures emulate nature that is eco-friendly strategies and locally attuned. So, I argue that the project has achieved sustainable development goals and Life's Principles to create an inclusive community.

MARSHAMBHAL
Mars City Design Challenges 2020 -Urban Farming for Extreme Environment __ Jezero Crater, Mars; the USA Awards: Type: Years: Software: Cooperation: Intro-Video:
Third Winner International Competition / Future City Design November 2020 Rhino, Sketch Up, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Yu-Ting Lee, Chia-An Yeh https://youtu.be/iThLSqLNMB8
Marshambhal aims to design self-sustaining food supply systems that can produce various menus for a crew of 9 people living for two years on Mars. After the analysis, it is identified that the main challenges for sustainable agriculture on Mars are recyclable water system, sunlight control and system resilience. Through the biomimicry processes, seek the strategies from the species that have survived from the extreme environment. The design well uses the resource on Mars. In addition, the system is allowed to extend for 90-100 people as a community. Furthermore, the agriculture system is potentially helping humans face the Anthropocene problems and the intensifying changing climate on Earth.
BIOMIMICRY PROCESS
The design emulates the functions of sunlight controlling from rainforest layers, water filter from fish gills, liquid storage from moss, and resilience from rainforest bio-community. We create a new vertical distributing style of plants, a recyclable water system with filter and storage, and a resilient agriculture system that provide sustainability by complex and essential integrations.
CONCEPT
Learning from the rainforest, the design sets agricultural layers by different demand for sunlight and density of each plant. Inspired by ants’ nests, the system integrates several units as a community with underpasses to enhance sustainability.
TRANSPORT
Transport the foods by machines with the tracks. The astronauts can control the system to catch the specific vegetable by certain coordinate positions. The food caught will flow to the layer’s tracks and gather at the main oblique accesses. The astronauts only wait and receive the food at the central kitchen.
COLONY
While the community extend, units start to the colony. The cooperation between units helps increase sustainability and efficiency that each unit grows less category but more amount. With the exchanging of food, the astronauts have more interactions during daily life that decrease the loneliness.
APPLICATION Marshambhala aims to provide a self-sufficient agriculture system for nine people. Each unit can work independently but also can cooperate with other units. While facing limited resources and challenging environmental conditions on the mars, Marshambhala works efficiently by well-used space and recycling and reusing pure water. The concept can also take back to the Earth when facing Anthropocene problems and intensifying changing climate that less arable land and less pure water for daily life and agriculture are coming. Marshambhala helps to solve the starving problem and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, Zero Hunger. We can fit the environment on Earth only by opening the top cover. Level setting: 1. Based on plant sunlight and temperature demand. 2. Based on maintaining health for a vegetarian with five elements of the diet. Expanding conditions 1. Increase nutritional elements. 2. With multi-functional use. (Ex. Be used as energy)
Basic conditions 1. Fast growth and quick harvest. 2. Strong adaptability or drought-tolerant for alkaline soil. 3. Avoid high water demand. 4. Minimize arable area but increase yield. 5. SAS: avoid high oxalic acid; good at high calcium and high lycopene.

From its beginnings, earth has been in constant change, evidenced by the transformations and evolution of species since life appeared in it. However, human activity has caused climate change that drastically affects the life and biodiversity on the planet. The prototype of WEFLANT integrates the advantage of biomimicry and aims to reduce some of the impacts caused by urbanisation in modern society. The design intends to achieve the sustainable development goals, zero hunger.
ANALYSIS The main goal, “zero hunger,” is linked to food security which could be evaluated by food self-sufficient rate. Along with the research, the decreasing food selfsufficient rate in Taiwan has concluded results from limited arable land and water shortage. One of the biggest reasons behind limited land is urbanisation. Arable land is developed to be the urban areas or industrial areas. On the other hand, despite its high annual rainfall, Taiwan can only use 20% of it as a water resource due to the terrain. Furthermore, there will be more extreme weather with the stronger typhoon and shorter but heavier rainy seasons because of climate change. It is hard to maintain water resources. The biomimicry flow chart is applied to find the valuable functions and strategies for the design to face the problems. With the Biomimicry analysis process, liquids distribution and force management are two chosen functions to deal with the problems.

DESIGN WEFLANT: We Fly Plants WEFLANT is a self-sufficient pot that collects water from rain and air condensation, and mixing it with mineral nutrients allows plants to grow on top of it. The only requirement to make WEFLANT work is to have a vertical plane where it can be attached. It can be located in indoor and outdoor spaces, as air condensation is its primary water source.
Considering that big cities go vertically as transportation is more efficient, we wanted to profit from that situation and use it for our new design. Also, the increase of people in cities has raised the issue of limited housing space and affordable food quality. We wanted to answer by creating a “green community” that allows people to grow in their houses their own and first quality vegetables, no matter the size of the house, as the only requirement is to have free “3D space”.

BENEFITS Building from the bottom up WEFLANT is a single module designed to collaborate with other modules. This way, we wanted to design a modular design that could have multifunctional uses depending on its growth. Uses only the energy it needs and rely on freely available energy WEFLANT, based on sustainable energy, is designed to be adapted to humid climate conditions such as Taiwan and passively collect water while cooling down the air. Moreover, in a season where the climate is arid and humid, it is still possible for the plants to survive in WEFLANT. Cyclic pattern Sustainability is one of the most significant advantages of WEFLANT. Vertical farming usually needs an external source of energy in order to supply water. However, with WEFLANT, we are storing rainwater as well as collecting water from the atmosphere. This is a cyclic process that continues all year round. Nature tends to optimise rather than maximise. With WEFLANT, this goal is achieved in several ways. The principal will be providing the users with the ability to use an abundant and free space among them with is air. Moreover, the structure and geometry used aim to minimise the amount of material used to reach minimal weight and minimal material cost.

RESILIENT SHELTER Resilient Homes Challenge __ Nepal; the USA Type: Years: Software:
International competition / Future City Design November 2018 Rhino, Enscape, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Illustrator, Photoshop Cooperation: Global Team | (PM, Structural Engineer) E.J. Shin; (Architect) Atheela Kamarudheen; (Civil Engineer/ Architect) Hsiang-Jen Cheng; (Associate Architect) Maria Paz Liprandi, Shalini Amin, Mariangelica Garcia Lucero, Lirak Goga, Vesa Mahmutaj, Asra Shakeel; (Electrical Engineer) Shayan Ahmad Khan
This design concept is around the idea of a core hexagonal structure that provides ideal resilience in an earthquake scenario. Additionally, this standardized geometry allows various options for configuring different structures. Our design uses local materials alongside prefabricated materials to provide an ideal combination of flexibility and ease of construction. Using accelerated modular construction, a family can build their home in as few as three days, quickly providing them with a permanent platform on which to rebuild their lives and to give them hope for the future.
RESILIENCY & UNIQUE FEATURES Resilience is defined as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. Structural resilience was a significant factor in developing the overall form of our project, a hexagonal dome. The structural integrity of this shape makes this design far more resilient to earthquakes than a standard rectangular structure. Using a triangular wall configuration reminiscent of a truss and rigid connections provides enormous resiliency in case of one member failing. That is what a structurally resilient home all about. Bamboo is an abundant resource in Nepal, and it also has good structural properties. Our design utilizes bamboo as a main structural frame member with prefabricated metal rigid joints. The house is designed to sit on a Japanese style pedestal that allows flexible movement during the earthquake.
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS & MATERIALS The design is expected to take three full days to construct with only three capable family members in the household that help face labour and resources limitation. To build the frame, bamboo will be cut to size and then connected using provided metal connectors. The wall and roof panels will be prefabricated, which will allow simple assembly of the panels onto the bamboo frame. Also, the structural stability of the bamboo frame will allow it to be used for rigging and the jacking of wall/roof panels. This modular approach will allow anyone without training to build their home safely by following the prescribed steps. After the core house is completed, the family could gradually expand their home, with their availability of time and money, and use local materials while living safely in the core house.
Expandable /Additional Room

Local Material Wall
Prefabricated Panel Main structure Bamboo Structural Frame
Fire (Cooking and Heating) Second Floor Movable Wall

EXPANDABILITY, COMMUNITY AGGREGATION This resilient design ensures safety and holds all of the critical utilities for the occupants. In addition, the house could be expanded by adding multiple resilient rooms adjacent to the core of the house or by developing custom additions using local materials to expand their home. The hexagon shape allows for great aggregation and arrangement at the scale of neighbourhoods and towns. The geometric compatibility of our design contains great potential for community building and the organization of the urban environment. We are ultimately suggesting a building block of one resilient home that could be built up into a neighbourhood or a town to create a rehabilitated built environment through our design.
CULTURAL The design is flexible to fit local conditions and culture that are designed for, but not limited to, Nepal. It will eventually provide them with a building block to culture to fit their needs best.

Virtual Design World Cup 2018 __ Shanghai Lujiazui CBD, China; Tokyo, Japan Awards: Type: Years: Software:
Grand Prix World Cup Award International competition / Future City Design November 2018 Rhino, SketchUp, Illustrator, Photoshop, UC-win/ Road, Allplan Cooperation: Yu-Wei Chiang, Yuan-Hsin Chiang, Po-Ju Hsueh, KeMin Wu Intro-Poster:
https://bit.ly/3xBRDPi
Lujiazui Financial City plays a pivotal role in urban development in Shanghai. The financial industry here attracts white-collar workers who are highly dependent on public transportation for mobility. Also, most office activities are now held inside the skyscrapers. Hence, we settled the concept of this project, take work, life, commuting, and rest inclusive. We create the shareable system, including both space and facilities, to achieve the new urban vision that promotes interpersonal interaction and regional vitality while improving resource use efficiency.
CONTEXT Lujiazui, the financial district of Shanghai, being the home of hundreds of financial corporation headquarters, accommodates over 350 thousand white-collar workers. Consequently, the welfare of these workers becomes particularly accentuated in recent years. And as a result of the growing number of workers, two critical issues have appeared: the deterioration of performance in the traffic system and the lack of connectivity between urban elements.
Green space Medium & small green space Roadside green belt
Large commercial building Medium commercial building Residential building
CONCEPT In order to build the spatial context of Lujiazui CBD to meet whitecollar workers’ demand, it’s crucial to create circulation in the urban system. This circulation system provides the daily necessities of white-collar workers, enabling mutualization of excess capacity in goods and services so that resources can be effectively allocated and optimized. For spatial matters, resources should be dispersed among every corner of the city, forming a web-like system, giving easy access to all.
Subway route and site
Main road Secondary road Road in blocks
PROCESS First, identify the potential green-opening spaces in the blocks of Lujiazui CBD, and enhance the quality to make them more liquidity. After that, set up several sharable systems to combine the areas and resources for the office workers to improve the connection between Lujiazui green networks and promote the use efficiency of opening spaces in this city.
SHARABLE SPACE Green Spaces among the Buildings Build some detachable and mobile structures on blocks to make the function of spaces meet the white-collar workers’ demands for recreation, activitiesconducting, Etc. Parking Lots to Green Space With the decrease in the traffic flow of cars, some parking lots are converted to shareable green spaces.
SHARABLE RESOURCES Sharable Transportation
Sharable Structure for the White-Collar Workers
Calculate the limit of traffic flow among the blocks, and set up sharable motor vehicles in every block to share transportation resources and decrease the traffic flow. It helps to extend the public transportation system from the railway to offices, called the final step. This provides more convenient access for connection between organisations for the White-collar. While the traffic flow decreased, more quality and pedestrian-friendly spaces will be revival. In addition, shareable transportation enhances community sustainability by improving resources efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Type 1: Set up multifunctional structures which combine the functions of café, restaurant, fitness-centre, cloakroom, studio and capsule hotel on the green space among the buildings. Type 2: Distribute sharable facilities of multifunctional structure to separate space inside the building and connect activities through the footbridge.
