Facade

Flower Lane

Belem, Lisbon, Portugal 2009

Original facade

Concept description : Floral Lane Portugal is extreme with its weather condition. The warmth degree is significantly varied from the day to the night. To represent the significant change in weather condition and the contextual condition, this project proposed a matrix of delicate flower field which is highly sensitive to these change and responsive to the passerby. Sunflower as a commonly seen flower in portugal, known for its blossoming for the daylight is the conceptual prototype of this project. The facade responsiveness is decided by two parameters:

Concept Description

The weather condition (light), The antipication of the passerby (time people spent in front of the flowers).

When people walks through with slow motion, the time and intensity of the sensored received sunlight within the mechanism is enough for the engine to rotate to its full degree, it would level up the partial field of flower component in sequence.

Series of mechanism study were being operated in order to find out the most efficient and integrated way to form the facade. Several simplification of the flower structure mechanisms are being experimented to see the further possibilities of simplifying the future manufacture process with assistance of CADCAM technology.

Flower Emergence London 2010

Exploration of floral expression of hybridization of digital and natural textures

Experiment

Flower Emergence London 2010

This project consists of the discussion upon materiality, the manufacture method in the digital simulating process. This process is being executed to expand the hybridization of design language in natural and artificial pattern. Veiled Girl by Antonio Corradini(1668-1752) is the historical example of the hybridization of the nature and artifact. The maturity of sculpturing skill allowed Antonio to hybridize the softness sensation of the silk with the sculpturing material of stone. Taking Antonioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mature sculpturing skill as reference, the execution of this project is a pursuit of hybridization skill on merging natural pattern in artificial body. Series of hybridization patterns of natural flow phenomenon are represented or emerged through the process.

This project initiated by observing the texture transition within the volcanic stone, which transiting from natural stone into crytalized stone because of the gas compression within the inner hollow part of it. Adopting the transition happened within observing and building, this project further the exploration by studying the texture transition of nature stone into precious stone, the roughness into delicacy. These observed change would being applied within the space of its time, events and field.

The process of looking inward the gems cultural center is a process of shifting viewpoint from a macroworld into a microworld, from a building into object, from material into immaterial. The sensitivity and sensibility of the intertwining natural phenomenon and artificial elements would be shown through the interaction between the visitor and the gems. The floating flower like gems cluster has a crucial role in presenting this building scenario.

Exploration of dynamic expression of hybridization of natural and artificial elements

Installation/Building

The Living Garden

Descour Proposal, New Orlean 2010

The Living Garden is an outdoor interactive installation consists lighting, movement, irritigating and growing elements. Through the interwining relationship of these elements within the installation, the sensibility of the visitors and the sensitivity of the phenomenon are expected to be represented through multidimensional interactions. Interactive Method: The Photosensor/Infrared sensor embedded within the installation would detect the movement of fish to change the lighting status of the fiber optic embedded around the moss cluster and affect the growth and spread of moss/algea. The circulation of water and moss would also be an interesting part of the installation for the viewer to see how they affect the growth.

Concept Description of the Living Garden

The Living Garden

Descours Proposal, New Orlean

2010

The Living Garden is an interactive platform for sensing the instanteous movement and long term nature change. The lighting of the Living Garden would be activated by fish movement identified by the distance sensor. The lighting would spreads through the black box and reachs to the fiber optic installed around the moss cluster and the orchid platform. By then, the lighting would affect the growing system decided by the movement. Passerby interaction with the fish would also affects the lighting and growing system. The water from the aquarium would also spread from the aquarium and being pump ed into the moss cluster and irritigating the flower within the cluster. The moss is expected flows through water and spread to the rest of the irritigation system from time to time.

It itself can be an nutrient for the other living organism relying on the soil and water system. In this design i was looking into the growth of moss and how its occupying the surface within days. The fact that moss would grow through the surface very quickly within time and spread through the dripping water flow through the surface intrigues me. The experiment with moss start with watching the growth of moss within the foam surface. And then testing with the plastic uneven surface to see how the moss occupy the surface within water flow

Considering not to use the strong light to affect the flower growing circulation, fiber optic which create mild intensity of light is being considered in the design. The normal fiber optic can only transfering the light from each edges. However, the damaged fiber optic can spread the light through the damages surface of fiber.
