Three types of homotopy-group of modern architecture

centralized decentralized distributed

By categorizing the modern architecture into homotopy-group, they could be classified into three types of connections: the Freeplan type, the Raumplan type, and the landscape type.

Listing the degree of connectivity of vertical circulation devices in an order of strong to weak, it starts from ramp, escalators, ceremonial stairs, ladders and the elevator would be the last.

The four diagrams above show the types of connection.

The vertical shifting device allows to experience directional freedom.

Background

Towards Intuitive Circulation

Thinking of parts of the building that counts as space. For me the standard was whether you could habit on or not. Nowadays, circulation inside a building has a tendency of being condensed relying on the modernism, causing traffic, causing inconvenience, causing irrationality in the process of perceiving the vertical movement inside the building.

Suggesting a new paradigm of space that connects all the spaces inside of the building also expanding outwards to the city, which will ease the non-intuitive manner of vertical circulation in our time.

We use elevators, escalators, stairs, ramps, and ladders to move along the vertical axis. Especially the elevators are the most convenient but yet bothering style of instrument since the process of vertical shift is not intuitive. From pressing the button to getting out of the elevator the sense of location. The successive sequence of movement gets excised from the user causing a severance between the departing point and the destination point to the perceptive process.

Homotopy-Group From the doctoral dissertation of professor Yongsun Chang, “Le fondement philosophique de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme contemporains,” architecture could be categorized by using the homotopy-group.

The result is a prototype that abandons the modernist notion of the verticality. Evolving cones collapses the vertical experience into a covered landscape that challenges the non-intuitive straight up movement of elevators by three-dimensional movement through an interest in topological connection of the space and geometric form.

Genealogy of Cone 01-03 The work of finding anew verticality started with making different kinds of homotopy-group of connections.

04-07 It developed in to a single concaved surface covering the whole space and tried repetition.

08-12 Cone which had an unvarying angle. By modularizing a cone, I tried stacking them to create a city structured by cones.

11-16 The degree of tension made from two cones colliding differed by there positions.

Angled Spaces We inevitably need angled spaces: for lecture, for movie, for concert, for conference, for opera, for bicycle race and etc. I am proposing to gather these programs which need an angled space that would not have been together normally in one place.

Natural slope provided by cones are utilized by diverse programs. Given slopes form a good vantage point for viewing - users can visually join the scenery, athlete, and the infrastructure of the building.

Opening Design

Light

Promenading over the cones, one can penetrate straight to the plaza on the top, go round over the halls, also one can use bicycle to go through any place inside of it since it is all connected by tilted planes.

A double layer of cones allows the users to move around the building as a continuous promenade.

Inspired by the abstraction drawings of Kandinsky, the mobility of free circulation was represented in the square by the variation of the openings which are entrances.

Openings of the upper cone plaza also operate as a light source inside the building.

Auditorium On the bottom of the building, there is an auditorium naturally shaped by the under side of the cone. The ceiling of the auditorium gives an apposite form for acoustics.
