When I cooked and cut cabbage one day, I noticed that its cut surface had the most leaves in the limited space, and there were some rules that were hard to see at a glance. There are 3 design structures from the section and combined them with the shell structure to build a multi-functional architecture.

There are many everyday objects in nature that take on special textures in less common angles. For example, I was fascinated by the variety of spatial combinations in cabbage sections, so I selected several cabbage sections to discover and summarise several special texture features.

By looking at the grain of biological and geographic space, we can find some similarities between them and I hope to summarise these regularities and thus allow these characteristics to be expressed in my spatial designs.

Seeing that geographers would use lines to summarise spatial sequence features, I tried to also use some lines to summarise the textural characteristics of cabbage and to think about the possibility of his later development into architecture.

In a system of several spatial languages,creating a richer sequence of spaces is my goal (hierarchy) and tried to add second and third level spaces to the gap space.

Because of the complexity of the lines, only a few black lines have been added to reinforce the centre.

Inspired by the shell structure of cabbage and beetles, the architecture can be used as a gallery, exhibition center, library, and cabbage structure and tourists can visit by the most reasonable route.

Final Outcome

I'm a fan of skateboarding shoes and I often see shoes with deconstruction style. I am curious about this. Deconstruction starts from the philosophical essence, which is the entanglement and confrontation between the new culture and the existing order. So I connect in the mind with collisions between new and old.

Deconstructionism and deconstructivists are about breaking the existing unitary order Decomposition and reorganization of elements Shattering Overlay Reorganisation Decomposition rollback slalom ShatteringShatteringDecomposition Reorganisation The

common denominator in the designs of Deconstructionist architects is the variety of possibilities offered to buildings, and the tendency to use coherent, eccentric, reversed and rotating forms as opposed to the horizontal, vertical or simple aggregate forms that are so prominent in Modernist architecture.

Looking at the objects before deconstruction, I feel that they follow the rules. They are all obeying an invisible rule, which is "looks very common sense". But after deconstruction, they have been extracted, reorganized, and broken through elements, and they appear very Out of the blue, they're fighting against this invisible rule, so that makes me think of words like confrontation.

When I see the word deconstruction, I think of confronting order and breaking it down, so I drew the most visual picture I could and extracted an element, a sharp triangle, representing the rebellion of deconstructionism, the breaking down of order, the unruly growth of the wild in a space, the straight lines representing the dominant order. Use the red triangle and the black line to make a sharp contrast and highlight the differences

Design Generation Digital Model

This building is composed of several single buildings of different sizes. The different sizes of these single buildings determine that different functional small size buildings can be used as utility rooms or logistics rooms, and large size buildings can be used as exhibition halls.

The first diagram shows that everything follows the order before the emergence of deconstruction and deconstruction. In the middle it shows the impact and confrontation of deconstruction on the mainstream until the last diagram illustrates the maturity of deconstruction.

Final Model

Recently, I noticed that some news teenagers do some dangerous behaviors that hurt their bodies because of their high academic pressure. I want to strengthen teenagers' awareness of caring for their physical bodies. So I design a pain experience space in school. Different forms of brain waves generated by different levels of pain.

Project 03 Lost in Pain

Pain level _ 0 - 2

Slightly painful when stabbing the back of the hand with the tip of a needle and clapping hard, tolerable so 0 - 2 levels of pain have little effect on the fluctuations of the brain waves.

Pain level _ 3 - 5

Hand cut by knife, soft tissue injury, sprain and sprain, etc. The patient has pain and affects sleep, which is tolerable. Compared with the previous stage, the pain in this stage will cause significant fluctuations in the brain waves.

Pain level _ 6 - 8

Gastroenteritis caused by inattentive diet, stomach pain Beaten with a stick. Brain waves show obvious changes, more sharp and intense.The space began to shrink.

Pain level _ 9 - 10

Causing physical disability, such as having a finger blown off as a result of a war injury

The feeling of the mother during childbirth.At this stage, the experience space is significantly reduced, making people feel the suffocation caused by pain.

Design Process

The travel route of the pain experience space is from the smooth curve at the beginning to the zigzag travel route at the end. At the same time, the downward speed becomes slower and slower (time scale can be added). With the increase of the pain level, the subjective feeling time becomes slower. At the same time, the space of different pain levels is different. The higher the pain level, the smaller the space is, giving people a sense of suffocation and oppression.

Project 04 A magical structure

When I visited Monet's painting exhibition, I noticed that there was a special texture on the skylight glass. The structure attracted my attention.

Through the study of Voronoi structure, I simulated its generation process in the Rhino, and extracted the main structure to make a tower building with vertical system.

Defintion Advantage

Voronoi structure is a set of continuous polygons consisting of vertical bisectors connecting two neighboring line segments. The distance from any point within a voronoi structure to the control points forming that polygon is less than the distance to the control points of the other polygons.

The Voronoi structure is a dissection of the spatial plan characterized by the fact that any location within a polygon is closest to a sample point within an adjacent polygon, and that each polygon contains and only contains one sample point. Because of the equidistant nature of shapes in spatial dissection.
