It stretches the linear understands of the temporality and causality into a thick, dense, spread unknowns which can never be captured within a certain moment of time.

The proposal ceates spaces with multiple layers and hierarchies. Frames mark the possibilities for shifts of views, and at the same time they provide a stage for all the activities typically contained in the city. As we are always also on stage and ‘in play’, activities are never fully defined. The dynamics of these interactions also initiate new activities and new understandings.

The brief for “Co-working space” design was to solve the contradictions between workers and their current working condition of isolation, distrust and tediousness and provide a collective and collaborative space in Suzhou ancient town. Meanwhile, creating a space that is capable of carrying out related social activities for clients with specified characteristics.

INDETERMINACY 01 RE-QUESTIONING OF THE LIMITS OF THE PRECISE MEANING OF THE OBJECT IN WHICH IT IS INSCRIBED Tutor: Marc Schoonderbeek - M.G.H.Schoonderbeek@tudelft.nl Oscar Rommens - antokki@telenet.be Pierre Jennen - P.H.M.Jennen@tudelft.nl As the ever-growing demands on self-proposition of our own living environment. As architects, we need to be humble and careful to the needs of inhabitants. But perhaps it is also necessary to reconsider architecture anew, not necessarily creating any unprecedented forms or representations, but being able to rethink the inherent roles of architecture formed in the conventions. Reflecting upon the totality of architecture where built space is constructed, elaborated and self-sufficient to its users, indeterminacy tries to expand the perspectives on architecture as fragmental and improvising instruments. It explores the new states of the building objects, which are suspended from their precise meanings. The conditions of indeterminacy, of uncertainty are establishing a challenging framework for the design and creation of a new kind of dynamic architecture. Allowing indeterminacy into the design process provides possibilities for the self-determination of the occupants and enables a less mediated and more direct relationships with different qualities. Also, the spaces no longer require complete understandings anymore, but as fragments that interpreted by different perceptions of individuals. They can compose their own stories within an indeterminate ‘framework’. Therefore, it stretches the linear understands of the temporality and causality into a thick, dense, spread unknowns which can never be captured within a certain moment of time.

INDETERMINACY - SYNONYMS

1 FLATTEN The spaces are normally read with specific definitions and functions. It offers the focus of existing but also loses the balance of total image. An indeterminate space has the quality of FLATTEN which therefore is more free and flexible in participation. 2 MULTIPLIED Different functions, layers, heights are either juxtaposed or superimposed with each other. It offers a total image of impression. It reduces the specificities but increases the flow of energies and new meanings. 3 CHANGEABLE The spaces are normally read with specific definitions and functions. It offers the focus of existing but also loses the balance of total image. An indeterminate space has the quality of FLATTEN which therefore is more free and flexible in participation. 4 BLURRY Architectural and urban space framed our perceptions in defining the paths, the view, the open and close, the sharp edges and immortality of existence. A BLURRY space create a confusion in understanding all and challenges the understandings. 1

MAPPING OF INDETERMINACY

A time-based mapping across the derive in an urban village of Tbilisi industrial zone. It tries to further dissolve the compositions and orders of the place, to raise constant questioning and instability, to erase the programmatic practices and spatial conditions, to get rid of the visual constructions or materiality and to examine the internal forces of indeterminacy fragmentarily. -11-

CHALLENGING PREDEFINED STANDARDS The freedom of drawings

As an architect, we are educated to read a drawing as plans, sections, or elevations. The various line thicknesses or types give an immediate reflection of concrete walls, columns or projections etc. However, the inherent qualities of lines as lines themselves suggesting a force, tendency or another very original meanings are filtered out in architecture contexts. Just like languages become a tool of communication rather than just a graphical sign that invites further interpretations. Therefore, the pure 2D drawing is set free as the indeterminate potentials of lines, under no predefined standards. They can be read as a concrete pad on plans, a translucent plastic on sections, a triangular surface on perspectives, or even indicates a tendency of movement etc. It is always under constant shifts of readings.

BASE DRAWING OF INDETERMINATE ARCHITECTURE -16-


It does not pretend to create any consistent systems. Everything functions dispersedly, scatteredly and passively across the vague terrain. Different meanings (compatible/incompatible) are being superimposed with each other in the process of play. SUPERIMPOSED ARCHITECTURE PLAN OF INDETERMINACY -17-

FRAMED INDETERMINACY

If a built architecture is doomed to be carved into the ground, shaped with a certain form, how could it go beyond the constraints in which it is inscribed? How could the architecture become enlightenments of its users while remain meaningless in its programs. How could the architecture become indeterminate?

REVERSE CITY 02

Rethinking of mundane issues by exploration of urban fictions via folding the space and time of urban rationality into creative neighbourhood scenarios and, as such, re-inventing the idea of the city through let out the secret ‘dreams’ of urban dwellers from the Pandora box of surprises, allowing fictional encounters of various groups and nationalities, unplanned, uncontrolled, inclusions and/or overlaps to open a world of endless possibilities while simultaneously exploring the concept of creative neighbourhood. -33-


SITE INTRO The site locates in the heritage preservation zones on the south bay of Suzhou river in Huangpu District, Shanghai with migrants habiting in aging Lilong houses on the south. Suzhou river as a series of nutrient cultivated the area on both part. The city pattern grew organically alongside the river. Shanghai Lilong house was one of the most fascinating outcome of it which used to be habitat for the local. As the rapid economic growth, these houses are being rented to the migrants with low income. At the same time, the tribal form of city is under the threat of deconstruction and reconstruction of high-rise towers, especially the northern part of the river. Although a few of Lilong House were kept at this point on the southern part, a lot of high rise towers have been growing up day by day which are expect to eat up rest of the houses.

Government’s policy of preserving historical industrial buildings for artists’ creation isn't the same notion of creative city or active society. The city will only be activated when the creation emerges among the normal people. The solid brick buildings stopped this from happening. The most walkable street along the river should be accessible to those migrants. REVERSE-INTERACT AND COLLABORATE WORLD

In ‘collaborative’ society, commercial is the focus inste We still live in a reality where things are clearly deline rated from each other especially groups of people with status. The migrant is a very distinctive social group in M hai plays crucial roles in city construction while with rela cial status, isolation, lack of respect and passiveness are among them.

CONCEPT ILLUSTRATION-REVERSE CITY I wanted to think of a giant machine, a building that would tear apart the boundaries that separate migrants from approaching the life of Shanghai and orchestrate various domains allowing them to interact and collaborate. Boundaries should start to blur between the different domains, and in which collaboration and interaction becomes far more important than keeping separations. Thus it helps them set up their own position among the locals. -35-


SOCIAL BACKGROUND RESEARCH

LOW EDUCATION LEVEL

1978 1994

More and more people poured into Shanghai since 1980

CONCEPT A developed society should be able to accommodate various groups of people instead of isolation. The current site condition is an epitome of the general issues existing across the whole city. As the fundamental components in the city construction and renewal, migrants have not achieved what was deserved with regard to social status. Not only being almost the least paid group in terms of labour, but also the migrants is a group of people with non-equivalent social rights compared to the locals. Catering to the topic of creative cities, instead of preserving the existing industrial heritages serving the upper class people for ‘creative activities’, the main idea is to tear down these brick walls and bring vitality the migrants behind the wall who can really build a ‘creative life’ in urban space. At the same time, it should be capable to help them find their own space in the mega city rather than being ignored all the time.. -36-

INJUSTICE OF SOCAIL RIGHTS

1995 2004

Migrants brought great pressure in city causing unemployment of locals. Government started to restrict migrants’ activities in the city by reducing their rights.

uilding new and high building blocks on some of original ing sites became a major solution to high pressure of livg space for locals. Relocation and moving to new apartents became popular among locals. Low rent price of trational Lilong houses turns into the first choice of migrants.

With the limitation of migrants’ education background and unequal treatment in Shanghai, disconnection between locals and migrants become particular obvious. Huge pressure of survive in Shanghai for migrants has reached to a peak which results in the first decline of the number of migrants according to an investigation conducted at the end of 2015.

SECTION 1-1

The experience of home is structured by distinct activities – cooking, eating, socializing, reading, storing, sleeping, intimate acts – not by visual elements. A building is encountered; it is approached, confronted, related to one’s body, moved through. It can function as a corridor, has daylight, has ventilation. It can be glazed over and turned into a giant exhibitional performance space. -38-


EXPLODED AXONOMETRIC DIAGRAM

Different levels separated by intermediate roof gardens as parallel neighborhoods with distinctive characteristics formed by habitants. Each shares similar programs with residence, commerce, study and work. The space for migrants are the reinterpretation of their life in lilong houses maintaining its flexibility of self-development and possibilities to create lively space. -39-


SECTION 2-2 -40-


STRUCTURE ILLUSTRATION The reverse city is composed of parallel neighbourhoods on different height, and each of them shares an intermediate roof garden. To achieve that, the space frame hangs each community below allowing larger span for creative activity, afterwards, the load is redirected through the column to the ground. Bracing on the envelope are is intended to resist lateral force and torsion.

SITE PLAN

Although the current Lilong houses near site area share a very wide street which was supposed to function as a main corridor transiting the circulation, in cater to fulfil the development of economy, transportation was developed for faster speed, the corridor was connected to the road which is dominated by cars. It is no longer functioning as a human scale to the inhabitants and locals, and thus inhabitants built the walls and fences to separate themselves from bothering. No more locals are able to access the inside world and the introvert society never want to get in touch with the outside. The REVERSE CITY building bridges communities to the outside world by re-creating the transitional system in the Lilong. Locals are guided to the inner space from the proposed project and thus bring more chances of communication of migrants and locals. -41-

IN THE URBAN THEATRE

SHIFTING PERSPECTIVES A PROPOSAL FOR AN ARCHITECTURE OF INDETERMINACY

The Fun Palace was not a building in any conventional sense, but was instead a socially interactive machine, highly adaptable to the shifting cultural and social conditions of its time and place.

Cederic Price (1964)

Tutor: Claudia Westermann - Claudia.Westermann@xjtlu.edu.cn Aleksandra Raonic - Aleksandra.Raonic@xjtlu.edu.cn Spaces designed by us as architects always end up with specific forms, programs and materials. Compositional approaches to the design of architecture with a focus on function, form and material tend to determine the meaning of space. They carry the risk of depriving space of its vitality and to limit the possibilities for future development. While we could attempt to reject control in the process of designing to leave space for users to develop their own spaces, the renunciation of control in the design process is a design decision, and the result will be an arbitrariness that is essentially defined. We do not seem to be able to escape notions of control. If the rejection of control does not lead to openness, how could we design it? How could activate and promote social interaction and be able to adapt to the shifting cultural and social context? And how could we design indeterminate architecture? The proposal suggests a new approach to an architecture of indeterminacy. It creates spaces with multiple layers and hierarchies. Frames mark the possibilities for shifts of views, and at the same time they provide a stage for all the activities typically contained in the city. As we are always also on stage and ‘in play’, activities are never fully defined. The dynamics of these interactions also initiate new activities and new understandings. We might be reading in a library, or having our hair cut in a barber shop, but we might never know whether not in fact we play Romeo and Juliet with the book shelves, and the hairdresser’s chair being props in a performance. We are actors in an urban theatre that always renews itself.

The site which seems to be a bit lame actually contains a latent vigour and vitality. Considering the working condition of most people, concrete walls and glass panels create a perfect cell constraining the nature of creativity.

SITE PLAN PROPOSAL The co-working space is more than a working space with wellequipped facilities, but a habitable scenario capable of accommodating various activities. The existing physical conditions of site embraced by poor industrial buildings need to be challenged for a better context.

The concept model shows a heavy and light contrast between the envelope and interior, together with the oblique rock faรงade. By this mea who just dropped out from the original working space is expected to have a sense of depression of reminding him of the past and when rea space being inspired again.

The artist studio is to be realized soon on a small hill in Pokrovskiy, Russia. By reinventing the classic courtyard house, the paper like skins and stepping down of levels blends the architecture into the descendant landscapes. The indoor central court serves as a point of integration attached with four wings of different functions. Each wing has its individual balcony with a large ‘picture frame’ on the façade viewing to the nature.

Reflecting upon the social condition of 21st century, in which the increasing ratio of the elderly becomes the uprising issue. While, with an expected longer life span, there will be more elderly woman in 2050. Echoing to Meyer’s vision of a room for everyone. This experimental project tries to project the vision towards the future lonely elderly women in 2050.

ARCHITECTURE AS MODESTY LANDSCAPES

Instructor: Alexander Sverdlov The artist studio is to be realized soon on a small hill in Pokrovskiy, Russia. By reinventing the classic courtyard house, the paper like skins and stepping down of levels blends the architecture into the descendant landscapes. The indoor central court serves as a point of integration attached with four wings of different functions. Each wing has its individual balcony with a large ‘picture frame’ on the façade viewing to the nature. While with the setback of each wing from its outer façade, a continuous circular route around the building is achieved. The house fulfils the artist’s demands of a relaxing architecture form together with a home of work that can accommodate various situations.

Four wings attached to its central court composes a complex yet neat spatial organizations. A stretched living room from the courtyard to the lowest wings on southeast provides the abundant view to its surroundings. While on the opposite side, a continuous roof inclination sheltered the parking garage and forms a welcoming gesture for its entrances. To capture the best moment of daytime, the southwest wing is designed to be public areas. With the dinning area and working area, the southwest wing accommodates the demands of workshop areas by the clients. Because of its orientation and privacy, two bedrooms are allocated on the northeast.

HOUSE FOR ELDERLY 2050

Instructor: Anastassia Smirnova

Under the influence in modernity in 1920s, Hannes Meyer pictured the image of the dominant co-operation modes of production. The extreme minimum set up with a bed, a table topped by a gramophone and two chairs of a room projects Meyer’s vison towards a standardization of life itself.

Sparsely furnished interior composed by Hannes Meyer – illustrated in Die Neue Welt and captioned ‘Die Wohnung’ (the apartment) in 1926. Image courtesy of Galerie Berinson, Berlin

Reflecting upon the social condition of 21st century, in which the increasing ratio of the elderly becomes the uprising issue. While, with an expected longer life span, there will be more elderly woman in 2050. Echoing to Meyer’s vision of a room for everyone. This experimental project tries to project the vision towards the future lonely elderly women in 2050.

A high-tech like multi-functional bed is created to fulfill the expected demands by the elderly women in 2050. With the expectance of loneliness without her companion and children away from home, the bed was embedded with different surfaces for sitting, lying and leaning. Together with the easily accessible medical cabinet near the bed, emergent medical treatment can be fulfilled by herself. The blue bubble which is supposed to be attached to the outer façade of the building provides an intimate relationship to the outer world without traveling. -80-

Private Commission Cambodia Architecture Practice 2019.10-2019.12 -84-


LAYOUT

The layout is redesigned to hide the irregularity of the structure system on the front faรงade. Giving both sides different room types, the equal division of the shading and opening is achieved. With the bottom 4 floors with different language, the publicity of the lobby and gambling area is highlighted. With 2 rooms in the floor center for maximum occupancy, a courtyard that gradually increase in size is designed for better ventilation and daylight conditions.

FAร ADE

Regarding to the orientation and tropical climate, the front elevation facing to an open plaza was designed with a zigzag form composed with solid shadings and large openings. During daytime, most direct sunlight can be interrupted by the shadings, while more gentle sunlight will be let in the late afternoon. This system not only strengthens the verticality of the faรงade, but also well hides the structural columns. -85-

The Urban Theatre sets itself into a stage, bridges a dialogue between the campo and the architecture, it stands out about its position, its wiliness of addressing the relationships of the people on campo and on the ‘stage’. Its layered gesture evokes the multi-layer images presented naturally in the city. It propose a natural theatre for both the locals and tourists. It blurs the differences of identities, each of them plays their own roles either as an audience or performer. The layered images of the building makes this performance possible which never stops. Dynamics of stage layers presents each a different story, its different distances to the campo, presents different images and contacts. Arches as the typical elements of Venice architecture as well as the openings of the building frames the images of stages, presents different performances. Generally, the architecture as a theatre for the locals positions himself in such a classical context, recall the clarity and unity of the historic context, but also with the relevant today, and have the potential to become a lasting and significant landmark. -90-

Architecture in Transformation should make responses to current situation and era. What concerns us is the relationship between architecture and city, and between architecture and natural environment. As a model of the megalopolis, Shanghai is a city with more than a-hundred-year history and was affected by its unique climate characteristics, cultural environment and multicultural society. However, with the rapid development of China and the own disadvantages of Shanghai, it encounters a various range of problems as well as other cities around the world, especially the burial of the dead. Thus, it will be a typical city for us to explore a new form of cemetery, which provided the pleasant ending but newborn experience for both the dead and alive person. -92-


HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

ANCIENT

CONTEMPORARY

PROSPECT OF FUTURE CEMETERY

It seems that cemetery has been a scared place for the people nowadays. It is usually arranged in the suburb area of the city. Owing to the geographic position of the Shanghai where the east is facing the sea, all of the cemeteries in suburb area of Shanghai tend to encompass the rest part of it. In addition, the issues that the conflict between human beings and land use become urgent thanks to the increasing numbers of the population in Shanghai.

CONCEPT ILLUSTRATION

Chapter 2

<MOURNING>

<YEARNING>

Chapter 2 <RELEASING>

Grave monument is a carrier to entrust the memory and miss to the dead. Likewise, the balloon can be depicted as a new-type of carrier. The dead will be carried by balloon to the sky that can release their souls rather than rest underground isolated from the world. They still live with us in the same sky and will be closer to the heaven. In the past, we get used to worship on bended knees while in the future we will walk on the city with eyes turned skywards delivering the yearning to them. Balloon that floating in the sky will use proper and sustainable gas inside and material outside solve the problem of time and region. Whenever and wherever you are, you will be with your friend and kinsfolk.

Instructors: Theodoros Dounas Starting with two defined curves as the performing space boundaries, the whole pavilion can be customized in terms of size and shape with the parametric system. It helps covert all the elements in the pavilion into easily prefabricable and assemble segments which can be broadly applied to most circumstances. The overlapping timber panels prevent rain water coming into the pavilion. The use of ductile bamboos simplifies the process of assembly by plugging into the tube foundations and naturally form the vault shapes. The idea of separating the structural elements and cover materials helps set a clear tone of internal surface of pavilion.
