Haozhou Zeng is an architectural designer and photographer based in Los Angeles and Chengdu, China.

He is a master of architecture at SCI-Arc( Southern California Institute of Architecture), who believes open-minded thought is the key to create a great design. He also get undergraduate degree of landscape architecture from Sichuan Agricultural University in China. His diversified education background requires him to look at things from multiple perspective. He believes architecture is more like a way of thinking and solving problems based on different concept, method, materialilty and platform. Post-digital Era makes it possible for designers to utilize multi-technologies, workflows and innovative ideas to make a difference in the world.

hile it’s been legitimately debated, Mies is commonly credited with having uttered the phrase “god is in the details.” Well, for anyone with a deep concern for the enduring impact of the built environment, and its role in shaping human experience across all scales, you may also want to keep in mind the equally common phrase “the devil is in the details Generally speaking, buildings are designed and developed by thinking about big ideas- context, social and cultural issues, and massing, for example. While all perfectly reasonable places to start, these starting points relegate the details that are often essential to their ultimate outcome to playing a more subservient role in the process (a role that a great number of contemporary architects have supported).

The subservient detail position suggests, fi rst, that the same sort of attention being given to deliberate sensibilities about the assembly of parts at a larger scale is somehow off the table at a smaller scale. Secondly, it doesn’t recognize that there may be a productive dialogue between 6

similar or strategically dissimilar approaches in the same building. I’ve always believed that the process of making- that intimate experience of struggling to create dialogues between parts, materials, and characters of all kinds, offers ways to think about all scales. My intention with the studio is to create a more conscious dialogue between how we think about the assembly of parts in ways that may bring to light their transferability as well as their limitations.

One of the more inescapable realities of realizing buildings is the assembly of parts. This is true at numerous scales, from the scale of a handrail to the building massing, and in the types of parts being assembles, programmatic elements, for example. The studio is especially interested in developing well articulated methods of assemble that allow for a transference between scales.

his studio will take on the topic of the Architectural Competition as a starting point to develop architectural strategies that span scale, location, and program. To accomplish this the studio will partake in two actual competitions, all five weeks each. We will discuss the value of architectural competitions, and various strategies to approach them. Along the way students will be able to bridge their work across the three competitions, and thereby see the two as related, progressive, investigations of their own work.

The two-part project breakdown of the semester is seen as an advantage, the ability to re-tool, re-direct, and re-do earlier versions of form, strategy, and approach. The typical 15 week semester of the singular project is thus pedagogically questioned in this studio.

The Architectural competition has a long history, at least 2500 years. From the Acropolis, to the Disney Concert Hall, history is replete with examples of significant buildings that were the result of competitions. Of course history is also full of examples of non-winning competition entries as well, some of which became more well known that the winning entries (Loos’ Chicago Tribune

12

comes to mind). Some would say that the idea of the competition is abusive, counter to thoughtful manners of procuring an architect, one that by its very nature creates abuses of labor and feeds the professions worry of relevance. Whether we see competitions as a useful means to illicit the best architectural work a culture can produce, or an abusive system of exploitation of architects and designers – we can probably agree that the architectural competition is most likely here to stay. If nothing else, the Guggenheim Helsinki competition of a few years ago and its over 1,700 entries shows us the amount of interest that competitions can still produce. On the other hand, what in the creative endeavor is not competition? We complete in all manners of ways, and to pretend that our ideas, concepts, and work is not compared, contrasted, weighted, debated, and ultimately judged to one another’s is not realistic and most likely naive. In that light, the idea that healthy competition is a positive endeavor is the spirit in which we will approach the three projects.

Personal Place The Home Competition 2019

3GA VERTICAL DESIGN STUDIO / COMPETITION *2

The concept explores that home could be customized and built in more personal ways.This project is located near the Painted Ladies in San Francisco, a group of Victorian style residences. By replacing one of the classic building, this house is composed of a variety of playful objects in unusual scales.

The precise position of those objects defines that part is collected as one, creating a vertical composition in a narrow space.In this specific site, the house challenges traditional circulation by lifting objects up in the air. This explores method of access self-expression of the owner as well.

Living In the Cloud Paris Affordable Housing Challenge

International cities around the world like Paris are confronting the same problem: how to get more affordable housing for people to live. Even though Paris is compact and a dense urban fabric, there are many unused, blank parti-walls. “Living In the Cloud”, a kind of wall-typology architecture, is combined with inflatable materials and scaffolding systems to solve the affordable housing problem in technical, economic, and flexible manners.

T

he third semester M.Arch I core design studio will critically consider the idea of ‘type’ and ‘model’ in the context of a renewed interest in objecthood — a discourse that posits typological thinking as a problem of collections and catalogues rather than periodization or classification. While no longer concerned with the origin of architecture (Laugier), imitation of nature (Quatremére), or taxonomy of types (Durand), this trans-temporal and non-theistic attitude articulates new ways of engaging the rapidly expanding archive of objects available to the designer. The vitality of this way of thinking and working is evident in contemporary art (Koons, McCarthy) and fashion (Michele/Gucci, Gvasalia/ Balenciaga). Similarly, in architecture a focus on the multiple-object building complex leads to a reassessment of works by Gehry, Rossi, Siza, and Stirling at the cusp of the digital turn. Gaining familiarity with these set pieces shifts the initial focus of design activity in the studio to critically engage disciplinary knowledge.

tectural projects will develop new coherences among parts that are neither dialectical nor differential. While retaining a level of disciplinary specificity and legibility, this contingent model playfully harnesses the discrepancy between digital and physical design processes. Moving from composition to compositing, the studio engages workflows beyond conventional threedimensional modeling in the computer. The technique of ‘volumetric compositing’ brings together fragmentation/explosion and unification/ implosion, to produce geometrically and volumetrically coherent objects. An aspect of this aesthetic stance is to identify specific architectural types, tropes, and devices and remix them in new ways.

While it may be assumed that a quasi-autonomous collection of parts exists, the workflow for setting those parts into legible architectural assemblages and ensembles requires intentionality by the architect.

Through a (non)compositional approach, archi22

his project is a fabrication project based on surface design. It introduces fabrication information modeling as one of the tools for realignment of the traditional relationships between the new surface and interior wall. Analyzing the form and transformation of single unit and duplicating it hundreds times helps studetns to learn how to development a fabrication project from single unit to whole. Students are required to do research about duplication fabrication unit and joint detail in order to make a design perfectly fit on the wall. Instead of developing a form and parts, this project will only focus on surface, using a single unit to expand infinitely and creating a surface between 2D and 3D.

pattern, two colors are utilized in this project to populate the surface. Flattern pattern and folded surface unit creates a surface between 2D and 3D. Breaking the traditional concept of interior wall.

Sinusoid provide a workflow of designing a fabrication project from single unit to whole, improving the ability from design to practical fabrication as well.

Sinusoid begins from researchi of single unit of fabrication. The form appears naturally by connecting well-designed unit piece by piece.

Students are required to design not just the unit form but also the structure and joint connection, which provide perfect support to overcome the gravity and stand on the wall. Inspired by animal 46

his project focus on the whole process of fabrication, including form design, structure design, detail joint, construction and panel design. Students are required to consider the relationship between human behavior and architectural form. By tracing human’s behavior and circulation, students should design a basic form to satisfy multi-requirements of human activity like walk, sit, and conversation inside. Students are required to learn the basic knowledge of fabrication, usage of material and construction techniques.

Cave and Pavilion begins from whole form and end with joint and panel pieces design, which is a design process from the whole to parts, training students well in developing a project from whole to detail.

This project not only provide practical experiences to students, but also shows a workflow to work for other relative fabrication projects.

Cave and Pavilion Project produce clear technical documentation and make integrated evaluation based on decision-making design process.

Multi-layer structures are designed based on form to connect panel and pavilion.Perforated panel are well designed to fit the scale and form of pavilion.Joint design is also required to be well developed. Fabrication techniques including CNC mill, laser cut provides good condition for students to make any model as designed.
