I NT E R P R ET E R HUNGDA CHIEN'S ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO 2007-2015
Reinterpret the Environmental Fabrication through Digital Methods When I talked about the word, environmental fabrication, it means I included human beings as a part of the natural environment, which means man, manmade or man-related construction should be deemed as part of it. In other words, within the proper scale of fabrication engage in the natural environment is my concept of architecture and I called it, Environmental Fabrication. As an architect, how should we avoid ourselves from being a follower pursuing the mass cultural worship but as a sober-minded interpreter having a personal point of view to reinterpret the “environment�? Rather than being a sophisticated vessel or formalist, I consider myself as an interpreter and design as my instrument to pursue a researched-based solution within the digital tools’ help and even to criticize the symptoms of modern society to strengthen my position. The following is a series of projects to express my principles while engaging the environment with different scales of architectural instruments, including urban design, landscape, housing, shed, shelter, installation...etc. The way of approaching design might not be the same, but the fundamental principles are firm, reinterpret the environmental fabrication through digital methods.

Issue Introduction The purpose of architecture's existence is to turn a site into a place. In other words, it is to uncover the significance of an environment. -Genius Loci In my point of view to reinterpret the sentence above, a place could be considered as people living in the an existing environment and a site could be merely deemed as being in the world only. And, architectures exist could be considered as a method to make a site become into a place. However, facing the gradually alienated neighborhoods in cities, a place with a building existing in a certain environment but without activities happen is very general, could it still be considered as a place? In traditional African tribes, people often gather and chat under a tree, making trees became a symbol of communication hence forming a gathering space; in another word, a "Place". Therefore, I'm going to search for a new neighborhood relationship through the viewpoint of nature. Started from functions such as residential buildings, and with the help of plants, understanding the natural climate regulation.
a.
Tree can be a symbol of communication hence forming a gathering space, providing people can rest under it. Yet, how can we learn from trees and form a gathering space through the viewpoint of nature, instead of another solid concrete buildings?

What's a Windbreak? An Interface between Nature and Artificial, is used to shelter dwellings or livestock and create a comfort field for activities. Hence, windbreak could be considered as a result of people’s intension. People use the advantages of trees which could break up the wind and plant rows of trees on the prairie to create a comfort field behind. It’s a good example to demonstrate how we human beings to build up an interface within nature and live with it.
Therefore, in my design, I learn from natural( the mechanism of windbreak) and try to create a variety of interfaces in different scales to know when we face the nature, how far we can get and how humble we must be.

CONDITION I LACK OF URBAN LINKAGE
CONDITION II DEVELOP AGAINST THE NATURE
AREA // WATER FRONT FOCUS // OPEN SPACE, PROMENADE
AREA // EXISTING BUILDING SITUATED BETWEEN MOUNTAIN AND SEA FOCUS // LANDSCAPE+ARCHITECTURE
After Keelung seaport’s export amount ng Is decreased, there’re more and more shipyard land factories, warehouses along the waterfront are abandoned which haven’t been renovated properly caused an environmental unfriendly water front and fragmental open spaces for the local which waste its own unique natural scene. How should we demonstrate an open space and provide an urban linkage of waterfront promenade?
Hopi
a.
The Keelung seaport city was developed thanks to its own natural topography but it also means people need to gain the lands by excavating it which is against the nature. Within these decades we’ve learned the lessons from natural + Seafood Market catastrophes happened in Taiwan that human (Tourism) beings cannot concur the natural; instead, we should act humbly and build a better relationship with nature.
+ Temple (Local Gathering Spot) Inner Keelung Harbor Temple/ Gathering Spot As a localized area, it’s always significantly important to mention their temple where usually hold up a big event or celebration and gather most of nearby people could compare to a community centre in modern cities.

Developer usually develops the city from its own interests regardless the site condition itself. But when it comes to a city like Keelung, which rains frequently and has severe sea wind problems, + Shipyard Warehouse usually lack of adaptation to(half weather cause the abandoned) local will start to seek solutions such as adding a micro illegal space outside their existing inbetween spaces, eventually, sacrificing the quality of public spaces.
With Keelung’s abundant and various weather condition, we shouldn’t passively accept the current situation but positively seek a balance between the live pattern and natural resources for forming a new local Keelung lifestyle.
Canoe Spot There’re a few canoe clubs will practice canoeing here from May to September while the weather is warm. And due to Keelung harbour is the main commercial hub having plenty of cargo ships come in and out ;therefore, this area is their safe zone to practice and gather.
Fishing Spot Usually happen during the fishing season around Mid April to December and different species occur on different times within a day.

About Keelung City Keelung City is located in the northern part of Taiwan Island and nicknamed the Rainy Port for its frequent rain and maritime role. It occupies an area of 132.76 km2 and is separated from its neighboring county by mountains in the east, west and south. The northern part of the city faces the ocean and is a great deep-water harbor since early times. Whether the weather condition or its topography, it’s proven that Keelung City itself has climate diversity as an experimental location to search for a new neighborhood relationship through the viewpoint of nature.
Chicken Grunter /Beltfish Fishing Zone located between Hoping Island and Keelung Inner seaport which has deeper and clear sea water.

Design Strategy II -Rebuild the Wind Mechanism As we mentioned before, the windbreak is an interface between Nature and Artificial, are used to shelter dwellings or livestock and create a comfort field for activities. So, basically, we need to prevent the severe sea wind going through the building directly but also introduce part of it for ventilation so that we can create an environmental comfort area in leeward side for activities. Yet, how should we rebuild the Windbreak Mechanism in an architecture way? Here’s following steps :

Design Strategy III - Live with Nature by Expanding the Bathroom - Set up Seasalt Therapy at home When we learn from wind(nature), it doesn't only mean that we respond to the nature passively by deploying the volumn in the view of wind environment but also mean that we need to live and interact with wind actively. Therefore, we try to take the advantages of the site itself, introducing the seasalt bath into units and also collect the salt from sea wind to build up a Seasalt Therapy at home.

Type Mobile Device/ Shelter/ Residential Location Disaster Striken Area Collabrate With Vivian Yang Adviser Tonkin Mike, Anna Liu, Neil Charlton Key Description Take the advantages of Shell Lace to build up a disaster relief shelter which can be conveniently delivered, easily assembled and eco-friendly at the same time.
What is Shell Lace Structure? Shell lace structure is a new structural technique, which was inspired by seashells and use digital modelling and digital analysis with laser-cutting fabrication to create lightweight self from flat sheer materials. We could conclude shell lace structure into four simple steps-curved, corrugated, contorted and perforated. Creating steel shell lace sheets
Curved
A flat steel plate is curved into a shell form that adds stiffness.
Corrugated This curved plate is then folded to add strengthand stiffness to the form.
Contorted
To stop the form from unfolding again it is distorted. The contortion in plan locks in stiffness
Perforated
Perforation bring lightness and allow areas of low stress are removed to reduce weight.
Why is the Disaster Relief Shelter? Shell Lace Structure has studied many kinds of building types, including pavilion, cloister, bridge, ferry terminal and landmark gateway. But,as we know, with global warming and sea levels rising, the frequency of disaster has increased. Many people are designing modern-day Noah's Arks, which are buildings that can float on sea. What about when buildings are destroyed, where are we going to stay for temporary? We begin to look at other advantages of Shell Lace and start to think how about to build up a disaster relief shelters? Here’s a series of studies about it and a few requirements to achieve as a shelter.
What is the Requirements as a Shelter?

1.The Detail of Attachment/
Detail Study II can provide the strongest attachment by stitching but be time-consuming work. Hence, we tried to customise clips to build and take apart fast and easily which also can provide the same strength as Study II.
2.Perforation/
To simplify the attachment, we tried to design a clip to build and take apart the shed fast and easily.
When we perforate the surface, it depends on the structure analysis and the aesthetics so that we can ďŹ nd the best soultion from both aspects.

How Efficient the Cardboard is? After pervious research is done, we began to calculate the efficiency of the cardboard could be. One piece of the cutting plan could create half square meter of itself and the weight could be lessened 15% after perforated it. For instance, hypothesizing one piece of the cutting plan is 5sqm and we want to create a 50sqm shelter which means we need 20 pieces (50*2/5). And one piece of 4mm cardboard is 115 g/sqm; therefore, a 50sqm shelter takes 11.5kg(115*20*5) cardboard and after perforated it, we only got 8.775kg (11.5*15%)which is amazing. Believe it or not, it’s happening.

Built Easily by Refugees We try to design a shelter for refugee could build up their temporary dwelling by themselves while waiting for their new house to be rebuilt.
Flexibility of the Shelter We hypothesis each unit is 50sqm but the length could be extended by people’s will. However, when it comes to public facilities requiring a higher interior net storey height, we can also customize the special unit to accommodate it.
Community Awareness After being stricken by disaster, how to make the individual units become into a community to organize the masses is important. In an architecture aspect, we can build up a gathering space by extending the shelter or we can create an event plaza surrounding by shelters as the symbol of spirits in their refugee camp.
“Light” When we mentioned the Light, it said from two aspects. One is the weight of shelter is light which can be portable easily and another is the interior is light in the sunny day by its perforation.

Game Forest = Sport Facilities +Urban Park Big Span Column
Shell Lace Structure has studied many kinds of building types, but we haven’t studied how big could it span. We asked ourselves “Why can’t we make a modern Sutro baths, but more multifunctional one by shell lace structure?” That’s how Game Forest comes, a series of sport facilities mixed with an urban park.

Besides, when we talked about large scale of sport facilities in modern days, it’s always associated with remote locations, halfabandoned stadium, or some stereotypical indoor sport center, which caused people feel a sense of distance. Hence, we are going to challenge two things here. One is how big could shell lace structure spanned and another is how to reverse people’s stereotypical thought about sport facilities.

Zoning the sport courts according to the scale of sport courts’ requirements and by doing so, we can also create a main axis from Northeast to Southwest. 2/ Fill the Void Space with Small Hills While deploying the courts, I rotated each of them with certain angles in order to form a triangular void space within it so that we can place some hills, plaza, athletes resting area…etc. Within the hills, it can protect the sport games without being interfered by the winds and also provides natural bleachers by its slope. 3/ Place the Shell Lace Structure Shell lace structure can provide sport facilities a canopy in the raining days and as a city sculpture to attract citizens to come. With this project, it proved Shell Lace Structure advantages again, such as column-free big span, light giving, light absorbing etc.

Adviser Wu, Chia-fung Key Description To help people escape from the commercialized and capitalized urban life, and be able to experience an ecological environment. I intend to use tea as the medium to convert an urbanite from consumer to tealover.
Issue Introduction In modern cities, people do the similar things every single day and live in a commercialized and capitalist city unabling to escape from it. The Taiwanese government noticed the issues and started to follow the western countries and implement the policy ” Fiveday work week” in 2001 in order to help people have sufficient holidays to go short-distance traveling every week. However, the policy can cure the symptoms, not the problems itself. “How to escape from the regular routine urban life but as an ext ension of it? “ is still the question we need ask.
Urban Daily Life
Tea Plantation
I started to review what’s the thing we did everyday in capitalist city, which is shopping. We buy things everyday from our needs to material desires but where do all these things come from? In capitalism, people live in the city only experience the end of production chain without participating in producing the products, which give me chance to think what if we reverse the concept, make the consumer (city people) become the producer to experience the rural life as an opportunity to escape from the city. To help people escape from the commercialized and capitalized urban life, and be able to experience an ecological environment. I intend to use tea, which is one of the most popular beverages of Taiwanese, as the medium to convert an urbanite from consumer to tea-lover. Under this framework, I started to study the process of making a tea and understand the environmental requirements of tea plantation to further develop a spatial relationship between human and the natural. And bringing up new concept, “EcoTourism” of the urban, providing a quick escape from daily works, with “Tea, Hot spring, and Gathering”. Concept Diagram

-Reprogramming in an Ecological Way The tea growth requires the environment to be high in humidity, diurnal temperature variation, and short daylight hours, which happens to be easy fog-forming. The collecting of the fog can be done by controlling wind flow, humidity, and temperature. This process of controlling fog can then be transformed into an interactive space between human and fog, such as ‘heat programs’ like the hot spring, kitchen,bathroom, tea production zone, or ‘cool programs’ like water pools, fishing pond, watering.

-Review the Process of Tea Production Eco-Tourism is a concept of minimizing the impacts on local environment but also maximiz ing the economic benefits and tourists’ require ments when it comes to develop a certain area. In order to reduce the environmental impacts, it’s necessary to study the tea industry and review the process of tea production in an ecological way, which will help us to establish a new relationship between tourism and tea industry.

Fermentation
For teas that require oxidation, the leaves are left on their own in a climate-controlled room where they turn progressively darker. The tea producer may choose when the oxidation should be stopped, which depends on weather conditions (heat and humidity).

Tea Plucking
Withering is used to remove excess water from the leaves, which can be either put under the sun or left in a cool breezy room.

How to Make Fog ?
Climatic Condition for Growing Tea Tea is a favorite drink all over the world today. The ideal climatic conditions for the production and growing of tea are as follows: Temperature/ 21°C to 29°C is ideal for the production of tea. High temperature is required in summer. The lowest temperature for the growth of tea is 16°C. Rainfall/ 150-250 cm of rainfall is required for tea cultivation. Soil/ Tea shrubs require fertile mountain soil mixed with lime and iron. The soil should be rich in humus. Land/ Tea cultivation needs well drained land. Stagnation of water is not good for tea plants. Heavy rainfall but no stagnancy of water, such mountain slopes are good for tea cultivation.

Choose Site From Eco-Attitude -Find the Topographic Conditions is Easy Fog-Forming. By reviewing the process of tea production, we’ve found that the most important element of weather for tea plantation is Fog. Fog can be considered a type of low-lying cloud, and is heavily influenced by nearby bodies of water, topography, wind conditions, and even human activities. Therefore, there’re a few topographic conditions we need to take into consideration when we look for a site, which is a nearby body of water, like a lake or the ocean and a mid to high altitude mountain area.

Learning From Natural - Mimosa - To Guide the Wind and Collect the Water As we all know, mimosa has a special reaction when touched, which shuts its leaves in a flash, then re-opens later. This mechanism allows the mimosa to survive in critical environment such as under strong winds and heavy rains. The mechanism can be separated into these detailed processes:

About Locust One of the most striking and devastating examples of collective movement is exhibited by locusts. Swarms of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, can devour large areas of vegetation and have a huge social and economic impact on humans, affecting the livelihood of one in ten people on the planet in plague years. How do these destructive swarms form and what is the mechanism that drives swarming in locusts?

Desertification is the degradation of land in drylands. Caused by a variety of factors, such as climate change and human activities, desertification is one of the most significant global environmental problems. Techniques focus on two aspects: provisioning of water, and fixation and hyper-fertilising soil.

Water collector is an adaptive device which not only can collect, storage and recycle water but also as a shelter providing shading area and tent for resting at night. Besides, from the aspect of ecology, it can decrease the speed of desertification and even can cultivate the green by redistributing the water resources reasonably.

01 Statement [ Past ]
[ Now ]
In the past, human beings usually deem architecture as part of natural; hence, it’s important to learn from nature and be humble to it. In Guadix,Spain, there are thousands of residents lives under the ground which is not only cooling in the summer and warm in the winter but also protect them from the unpredictable temperature, called HORIZONTAL cave dwelling. You may wonder how to bring sunshine into the cave if people living under the ground? By observing the dynamic sun path, people notice that once we excavate a front yard the problem will be solved.
In the period of Capitalism, housing became as a tool to make a fortune easily. People start to ignore dynamic natural system and believe “man can conquer nature” which is not. Global warming, urban heat island...etc, which has proven we are wrong; therefore, we should start thinking a way to dwell amid natural.
[ Future ]
VERTICALIZE the cave dwelling by simple steps in high dense city and describe the quantity the sunshine equally.

c. The Arrangement of the Cave Plan
Taking advantage of the natural light, cave units always face the southward direction to bring the sunshine into its space as much as possible.
The width of front yard will decide the the size of cave units and the percentages of sunshine could introduce into interior spaces.

The photograph shows shows an unsuccessful mechanism of artificial oasis existing in the northwestern Saudi Arabia The circles in desert are caused by irrigation technique, rotating like a circular clock. Unfortunately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short-term and unsustainable method to make the desert "green", as the water is drawn from groundwater, which has accumulated millennia but will be consumed in a few decades. As you can see that some circles are brown already which means the ponds are depleted slowly. As an architect, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened to be an opportunity for me to reinterpret the environmental fabrication.
