Introduction Brief Open Thesis Fabrication program(OTF) is a 6-month applied research program that focuses on the creation of passive habitat through design enabled by additive manufacturing technology based on recyclable earth-based composite originating from adobe. Research focus The major investigations include design parameters in robotic construction that enhance climatic and structural properties innate to the material. Thermal properties such as transmittance is regulated through geometry design on the global shape, surface texture and ventilating cavities on the level of precision by robots. Structural properties are reinforced through the design of local stiffness. Methodology The program is composed of a series of workshops and lectures on above-mentioned performance explorations and experiments on the consequent design prints of various parametric configurations. A final housing 1:1 prototype is prefabricated and constructed in order to test the climatic and structural design over a 12-month monitorisation using embedded sensors.

Introduction Architectural practice, building technology, industry and manufacturing process increasingly adopting and integrating the contemporary advancement of technology of 3D printing, digital fabrication, robotics and automation in construction in different scales. Additive manufacturing(AM) derived by CAD softwareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading architects and designers to create more complex geometry, optimizing shapes, materials and energy more precisely within very short time. AM is still growing while it is rapidly adapting new technologies which gradually advancing construction policies, mass manufacturing process and creating new bridges between industry, contractors and architects. The strategy of this project is to explore the potentials of large scale 3d printing of clay by designing a passive habitat. As the site located at Valldaura natural park, a mountain location in Barcelona characterized by a humid climate with a mild, humid winters and warm to hot summers. The proposal is an individual habitat embedding food production system in the architectural design, combining accommodations and food storage, cultivation, exhibition, and other activities related to the food lab process where researchers as well as the community can interact. Another important aspect is to make adobe printing process more self-sufficient, by using locally available clay which is natural and biodegradable, consist minimum waste and which has good thermal inertia. And also, to generate renewable energy on another location in closest distance at a possible high mountain area where it has enough sunlight and wind which can produce enough renewable energy that can be used for the construction process. Different climatic strategy is explored to define the global geometry, to ensure the use of passive solar energy and to optimize heat gain by creating self-shadowing surface based on solar radiation through computation. In the wall system controlled thermal cavity and insulation is designed to ensure thermal comfort of interior. Seasonal plants are arranged on specific surface to reduce solar radiation. The fabrication strategy is based on the use of a cable driven parallel robot(CDPR) with an integrated CNC control to automate the movement of a 3D extruder.

SPONTANEOUS FARM Chengzhongcun(Urban Village) Research

Type: Freelance Work Role: Project Director Partner: Fei Zheng Location: Shenzhen, China Status: Conceptual Design Date: August —May 2015

“Spontaneous order is the vital force to resist totalitarianism”, an important theory of Friedrich August von Hayek, was first proposed in his book The Road to Serfdom in 1944. Interestingly, Chengzhongcun is a very rare spontaneous type of community that survives from the siege of authorities and capital operations in China.

Urban Planning

Farmers have the ownships of their residential land. Shenzhen used to be consisted of many villages relied on fishing and cultivating

The urbanisation started from the Economic Reform in late 70s and road grids gradually added to rural villages.

Less Farmland The rapid urbanisation swallowed farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cultivated land around their village.

Mode 1: Moving to city During the process of urbanisation, government and developers take over farmland of original villagers. Farmers are compensated with new apartments and money. They enter to city and begin new lifes. However, they gradually lost their land and their cultivating skills.

Government and developers

Mode 2: From farmer to landlord Because of the rapid development of cities, many workers from other places come to Shenzhen in order to seek better opportunities, more residential buildings are required. Many villagers consider it a good chance to earn money instead of making a living by cultivating. Therefore, they change houses into framed multiple-floor residential buildings. After years, these buildings cannot meet the increasing demand of migrant workers. Villagers extend their buildings either by adding more floors or directly building new ones nearby. They make more money. However, the density of the community rises quickly, which leads to series of problems such as poor sunlight, unsanitary conditions and bad security.

Gangxia, a typical Chengzhongcun site in Shenzhen, China, is completely encircled by high-rise residential and office buildings. As the pictures showing, in order to pursue maximized profits, the distance between two houses are from only 0.5 to 2 meters and main roads are reserved only about 5 to 6 meters.

Strategies From perspective of the masterplan scale, reducing the building density becomes first priority. However, this will definitely cause the decrease of floor areas. From villagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; point of view, compensating their floor areas will be the premise of the next step. The original floor plans are divided into crops planting areas and SOHO offices or apartments, creating a complex including commercial spaces in lower floors and residential spaces in higher floors. The floor areas that changed into planting areas will be compensated by upper additional apartments. As a result, the total GFA stays unchanged. Newly built upper apartments can retain the original structures, which can be economical and sustainable. This renovation will attract the public attention of surrounding communities because of the organic food provided in the new agricultural projects. Additionally, commercial and residential programmes can also improve the vigour of the community. The original villages can benefit both from the increase of house rent and the profits of agriculturalÂ products.

Spontaneous Order Chengzhongcun is probably the last spontaneous type of community that survives from the siege of authorities and capital operations in China. Under the guidance of government or developers from the strategies above, villagers can decide freely whether to renovate their existing houses or not. This also represents the â&#x20AC;&#x153;spontaneousÂ orderâ&#x20AC;?, the community spirits of Chengzhongcun.

Spontaneous Vitality Villagers regain their cultivating skills after transforming their own houses into a urban farm complex. The products can be 100% organic under the guidance of agricultural instructors. Since the problem of environmental pollution and food pollution caused by industrial development and urbanisation is more aware of by public. People tend to choose organic food even though they are much more expensive. The profit of this organic product can remarkably increase income of villagers. At the same time, standardised management system can improve the influence of community and strengthen villagesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sense of belongings. People living in downtown would like to go to Chengzhongcun farm to experience the process of producing organic food. As a consequence, Chengzhongcun becomes a mixed use of spaces with people from different background. This spontaneous vitality completely improves the living condition in Chengzhongcun.

Introduction It is a program which took up a four-week major design course ---- Environmental Information Design and I finished it in the senior year. In the beginning, I did a research of the relationship between information and space. After that, I went to Beijing Road with my first half effort on-the-spot investigation.

Research I did not study the assigned brand space research as our course required, however, I teased out the relationship between information and space from a larger range. I clarified the similarities and difference before and after the appearance of cameras, and made a comparison between physical shopping and on-line shopping. In the end, I made a conclusion of space information transmission in this information age.

Sound is the most direct way for people to communicovte and the main way to send a message in the period lacing of communication tools. However, it’s quite limited to convey information through human themselves.

Program I chose MUJI brand, whose concept store is located in Beijing Road, a historical business walking street. The construct was built in 2000 and both sides are historic listed buildings-- Arcade.

Concept-Filter I placed the main function in the last two underground layers, setting back for banyan. Apart from the section near the street, other three sides were surrounded by ground glass and they showed as a U-shape. Through the faint glass walls, we could have a vague view of the two sides arcade with a sense of history. It not only responded the context of the surrounding historical blocks, but also mixed with a peculiar hazy oriental aesthetics trait of MUJI. The U-shape matched the conception of MUJI and endowed the construction one more message interface which the shops in both sides lacked. The whole design was like a colossal filter, reflecting the things around with its own feature.

LIGHTWEIGHT PASSIVE SHADING SYSTEM Type: Academic Responsibility: Prototype Design, Digital Fabrication, Programming Advisor: Areti Markopoulou, Alexandre Dubor, Angelos Chronis Collaborator: Nasser Ghannam, Guoliang Zhang, Mohamad Al Chawa Location: Barcelona, Spain Status: Finished(Invited to participate in the 1st China Urban Public Art Exhibition, Active Public Space Exhibition and Living (in) Future Citie Exhibition) Date: January - June 2017

Introduction Soft robotics (SoRo) is a fairly recent development in the fields of science and engineering. and it is slowly making its way into different industries, including medicine and architecture. The most prevalent issues of soft robotics can be divided into two main categories. Soft robotics offer unmatched physical versatility and potential. This is mainly due to their flexible and sometimes, elastic nature. As well as their high intractability with a large variety of materials.Pneumatic systems used to power the robots require large amounts of active energy, usually produced by bulky, noisy machines. And the scale at which they can perform architecturally remains unclear. Initial Operations SORO attempts to tackle the two prevalent issues related to soft robotics {First, the methods currently in use to power these robots. And second, is the scale at which these systems are manufactured.} through establishing passive operation techniques and studying the performance of the robotic system in multiple construction scales and applications. This will be achieved through the use of liquids with relatively low boiling points. Making for an easily repeatable pressure system. The system will also be tested for different performances and scales. The initial studies involved silicone pockets filled with various liquids and subjected to heat. These pockets are then left to reach a temperature of 60 C and observations are then carefully documented. The tests were conducted in a room temperature of 20 C. Each prototype was tested 15 times to insure the repeat-ability of the inflation process. With each test the prototypes were carefully checked for leakage. The Key aspects that we chose to observe are the duration in which the system reaches the desired temperature and the degree of inflation. Other parameters were also changed through establishing a matrix of varying thicknesses and liquids.

Casting Process Creating an alternative adaptable passive shading system that is capable of creating a micro climate to accommodate specific uses. Creating an efficient production system for the prototype was quite challenging as silicone was far less predictable than expected. Molds were mainly created via 3D printing and laser cutting. However, the final mold was 3D printed as it had a two part configuration that would have been difficult to laser cut. The active heater was tested with silicone as a protective layer from the liquids as it was to be embedded in the liquid container. The final 3D printed mold was made in two interlocking part and a third mold for the base that would be attached after the silicone is dry. The systems active heating component is integrated within a silicone pad to protect it from liquids. The base and main element were then attached together using silicone as an adhesive and then placed in an oven at 60 degrees Celsius to cure.

Protoype A Concept

Prototype A Combining all of our previous research and testing, we developed the preliminary prototype shading system. The system consists of singular triangular units that are operate individually. Through the heating of the liquid inside the container, it evaporates into a gas thus expanding through the piping system into the silicon pockets, causing them to inflate and provide shading. Furthermore, when the heat depreciates, the gas cools back down into a liquid and thus causing the pockets to release the air causing the interesting state of â&#x20AC;&#x153;negative pressureâ&#x20AC;?. In addition, the silicone pockets will remain in that state until the liquid is heated once more. However, after conducting standard testing issues with prototype A became very clear; the bulkiness, reliance on heating through an Arduino, and the limited motion cause by the form of the pockets.

Introduction Plant Orchestra is an interactive installation, a small garden composed of living musical plants, which react to gentle contact. Each plant reacts in a different way to contact by producing a specific sound. The plant song occurs through touch and the close proximity of the spectator. Our invisible electrostatic energy acts on the plant branches and encourages them to react. The plants sing when the audience is touching. A plant concert is created. The plants act as conductive/proximity sensors. A wire is connected to each plant and interferes with a closed circuit connected to the arduino. Whenever we touch the plant we interfere to the intensity of the electric current of the circuit which is interpreted into numeric values by the micro controller (arduino). These values act as an input for max7 controlling the volume of previously specified sounds/tracks. The audio is then transmitted to the speakers as an output to the user. Each plant reacts in a different way by producing a specific sound. The sound occurs through touch of the spectator. Our invisible electrostatic energy acts on the plant branches and encourages them to react. The plant sing when the audience is touching and a plant concert is created. Plant Orchestra forms a hybrid between the plants and the digital technology. Plants are natural sensors and are sensitive to various energy flow. Digital technology permits them to establish a relation between sound and plant. Our body continually produce an electrostatic energy which cannot be felt. This energetic cloud follows us like an invisible shadow and reaches lightly our environment.

NINGBO URBAN PLANING CENTER Type: Professional Company: Playze Architects Role: Facade Research; Physical Models; Standard Query; Schematic Design Location: Ningbo, China Building Area: 25,000m2 Status: Under Construction Date: December 2011 - december 2013

Introduction Prompted by surging urban growth in many of the nation’s larger cities, the Chinese “Urban Planning Museums” are generally intended to communicate important city planning and development issues to the public. The Ningbo Urban Planning Exhibition Center interprets this concept by way of a forum-like design in which discussions between politicians, professionals and the public may take place. In the new Center, the lines between citizens and decision-makers are blurred; visitors are given rare access to the inner-workings of their city. Our goal has foremost been to create an engaging, accessible public space in the new district, and thereby strengthen both physical and social ties between the local government and community.

Urban Concept The Exhibition center anchors the urban district of Ningbo Eastern New City: a fresh suburban swath of equal parts high-rise and high-way, still searching for its own identity. Urbanistically speaking, the new Planning Exhibition Center aims to bring intimacy to these wild new spaces. The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faceted perimeter blends horizontally into itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s context, reacting and sometimes mirroring existing site conditions. The four large entrances lead to a lobby space and multi-story atrium. A circular loop passage brings visitors to and from a public roof-terrace, where they bear first witness to the very issues being debated and exhibited below. The loopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different coves and mounds invite visitors to interact with the building both during the day and at night.

Spatial Concept The Chinese ribbon dance (Cai Dai Wu Dao) dates back to the Han Dynasty. A professional ribbon dancer can animate complex figures like wandering dragons in a single movement. Originally performed only for royalty, it emerged as an important medium for communication between different social classes. Inspired by this ancient artform, the building program, structure and envelope are woven together as a ribbon. Beginning at ground level, the ribbon wraps around the program; it defines volume and circulation-space. It guides visitors through the building, controls light, opens to views of the surroundings. The ribbon links program elements into a fluid sequence of space—a deliberate break from more conventional, static, “white box” museums. Instead, the spaces present no clear physical boundaries—they are blended together. This blending merges the visitor’s awareness of the architecture, the exhibitions, the different people and social classes into a contiguous, flowing experience. ૤ডी୎

Facade Concept The City of Ningbo has a rich history in ceramic production. It was here that the so-called Ceramic Road began, and the city played an important role in the national and international trade of ceramics throughout the civilizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. That said, the use of ceramics is not simply an homage to the local traditions of Ningbo; the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s textured glazed-ceramics also create ephemeral reflections of surrounding cityscape. These reflections animate the facade with varying intensity depending on time of day, season, weather, etc. From a distance, the building is like a beacon, an attractor. With its form and reflective qualities, the facade modulates visually with its context. Up close, this modulation is also applied in the deployment of the facade system and details. The ceramic screen gradually shifts between being nearly transparent to fully opaque, according to program needs and views to the surroundings; while around exhibition areas the tiles overlap tightly, they open up in gathering areas to allow ample daylight and scenic views. At night, the pattern glows as shadows populate the facadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curved apertures.

HOTEL OF MATINS ISLAND Type: Professional Company: Playze Architects Role: Project Architect Location: Penglai, China Building Area: 12,000m2 Status: Conceptual Design Date: September - December 2013

Introduction This is an architectural design project for an island hotel in north China sea. After finishing an island resort layout work, I was sent as the principle project architect. According to that resort, the hotel insists the philosophy of respecting the nature. But on the whole, it is a great challenge to place the field with a 12000 square meters, 60 meters high building. Absolutely, it is also a common tough issue making a balance between development and nature when working in China. The entire island was made up by light brown rocks and the terrain was high in north but low in south. Therefore, the hotel in low end was designed with a rock peak look, as a counterpart to the huge mountain in north. Then, we used the waste rock material produced in north construction engineering as the major ones, which made a cyclic utilization of the building debris and saved the cost of long distance transportation. Meanwhile, it served the hotel and the island as a whole, which contributed a positive response to the venue and context.

Karst Restaurant Type: Freelance Work Role: Project Director Partner: Fei Zheng Location: Yunfu, China Building Area: 178m2 Status: Built Date: August 2015â&#x20AC;&#x201D;May 2016

Introduction This project is a restaurant renovation with relatively low budget. The biggest challenge is to features the renovation with the local context of Yunfu, a less developed city in the west of Guangdong, China. As a result, series of lowtech process in construction must be taken into consideration. Since this is my project as an independent freelance architect with my partner, we consider to create something unusual in the common context of Yunfu city on the premise of the project feasibility. Karst topography is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes, do-lines, and caves. Yunfu, a typical city with karst topography, holds many magnificent karst caves. This must be the most attractive feature that can fully represent the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s context. In order to create an iconic restaurant, the karst cave could be a good concept.

Low-tech Digital Fabrication Considering of the limited budget and the feasibility of this project, an efficient and low-tech installation should be the priority. After a long time selection of materials and the method of processing the ideal curvilinear pieces, we finally decide to choose the coppery stainless steel which can be precut in the factory at a relatively low price. Meanwhile, this material greatly emphasises atmosphere of the entire spaces.

Xikuai Restaurant Type: Freelance Work/Individual Role: Project Director Location: Yunfu, China Building Area: 190m2 Status: Built Date: May 2015-July 2015

Introduction Yunfu is a small mountain town located in the west of Guangdong, China. It is the largest production base of stone, with over twenty kilometers continuous stone industrial belt. Like most Chinese cities, Yunfuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architecture is filled with great cold steel and concrete which has nothing to do with the city context. Hence, the start point of my thinking is to connect a small restaurant with the whole city.

Concept Without obscure theory, it was just a perceptual concept. I tried to do a research with the simplest line, and turned the line of mountain and stone factory into the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basic concept--polygonal line. Then this polygonal line is made up of the external wall and the inner space.

Ceiling The ceiling was shaped like the mountain as well as the workshop roof. But it was a harsh question because the project budget was low and local workers were unskilled. The strategy I adapt was different from that in Shanghai. I insisted to use wood grids to build up such simple and low cost basic models. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, a simple control of the supporting wiresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; length was to draw a complicated shape of the ceiling.

Interface It would still be crowed no matter how you managed to separate a 190-meter small public space with a solid wall. Different dense lines--grid as the interface to divide space, can increased the space level(thickness) and kept it capacious. These wood grids not only changed the status of light floating into space but also changed the attitude we feel the space.
