levitating park of the future urban frontier 2113 ulaan baatar mongolia
ULAAN BAATAR MONGOLIA BY MAKING THE LEVIPARK FLOATING, THE PARK ITSELF CAN MAXIMIZE ITS PERFORMANCE TO BECOME A MIXED USE PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE THAT CAN BENEFIT THE CITY AND THE PEOPLE WHO USE THE PARK. LEVIPARK CAN "TRAVEL" AND "MOVE" TO THE PEOPLE, REDUCING AIR POLLUTIONS AND VEHICULAR TRIPS PERDAY.

lE _VI PARK
every 4 years, new facilities are built to serve the olympic. after the events are over, costsly stadiums are largely abandoned. levi park can provide a place to gather people for mongolia's festival and the olympic. partials of levi park can merge together to form a larger park to serve for big events. after the events are over, the park can detach into smaller parks and travel throughout city, providing green parks for different parts of the city.

levi park is a filter, a green lung of ulaan bataan, which filters smog and pollution with the greenery, which can improve the city's enviroment and create a better city for the future

STRUCTURAL MATERIALS RESEARCH SINCE LEVI PARK USES MAGNETIC LEVITATION TO LEVITATE OFF GROUND, THE MATERIALS WHICH ARE USED CONSTRUCT THE PARK SHOULD BE ECO FRIENDLY AND NON CONDUCTIVE TO THE MAGNETIC FIELD. SERIES OF NON METAL MATERIALS SHOW THE ABILITY OF THE FUTURE MATERIALS WHICH ARE LIGHTER, STRONGER THAN STEELS YET NON CONDUCTIVE TO THE MAGNETIC FIELD AND CAN BE MASS PRODUCED BY THE HELP OF LARGE SCALE 3D PRINTERS.

D1 contributes a different taste about urban archiecture. D1 adds more richness and creates new reactions and connections between the people and a piece of architecture in Downtown Houston.

Digital fabrication nature is a self- made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine. TO CREATE SOMETHING IN THE IMAGE OF NATURE IS TO CREATE A MACHINE AND IT WAS BY LEARNING THE INNER THAT MAN BECAME A BUILDER OF MACHINE. WORKING OF NATURE eric hoffer

nature & structure of architecture research into the works of frei otto and the institute for lightweight structures are explored with physical modelings using frozen fabrics and structural networks to find the form of a roofcape that incorporates minimal surface, differentiated modularity, and formal flexibility.
