LABYRINTH COMPOSED
AS FROZEN MUSIC THEORETICAL INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES ON MUSIC AND ARCHITECTURE
Place: Intersection of La Petite Ceinture & Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, Paris
I believe that different creation fields are complementary and among which covalence exist. My thesis explores on how to reproduce life inherent in the musical form with architectural composition through metaphysical approach. The beauty of music attributes to its high degree of life inherent in its holistic form, which is affective, adaptive and generative. How to capture the essence of music, to reproduce the qualities experienced, and eventually create building as form of frozen music are the focuses of my thesis. The product of my thesis is not only the building design, but the lens and methods adopted in the creation process. Academic Individual Thesis Project Studio: ExploreLab School: TU delft Tutors: Roel van de Pas (Design tutor) Hubert van der Meel (Building technology tutor) Peter Koorstra (Research tutor) Duration: 13 months
In the research part, I approach the quote “I call architecture frozen music “by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, studying literatures on mainly based on philosopher Gilles Deleuze, architectural theorist Juhani Pallasmaa, Christopher Alexander and music theorist Ernst Kurth. The outcome of the research is a coherent conceptual lens capable to explain the subjective phenomenons. The design part is to counter the shift of architecture experience from existentially plastic and spatial experience, to mere time-compressed striking visual image, with the loss of experiential depth, under the information age. As inversion of Plato’s “allergy of the cave”, my building functions as an immersive labyrinth with ambiguity and mystery hidden beneath ground, descending from a French landscape and affording a retreating experience to urban wildscape explorers. It fulfilled the timeless task of architecture as stated by Pallasmaa – “understand and remember the shapeless flow of reality and, ultimately, to recognize and remember who we are.” The building situates itself in Paris, at the intersection of the abandoned La Petite Ceinture, an urban wildscape experiencing the transition from ruin to regeneration, and the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, where the histories of underground mining hidden beneath. The memories of two places intertwined at this counterpoint and synthesize into a frozen melody, as the body of the labyrinth.

Music Body (Flow)
[DIAGRAMS] MECHANISMS OF EXPERIENCE The mechanism how we experience music is manifested as gears triggering one and another across and within bodies. Through this thinking model, the relationship of bodies, time and space are being understood.
Sound is imagined as a virual force body. For music bodies, one sound excels, ends its life and pass the energy for synthesis of another sound body. It is always a passage of energy linearly throughout the time. In the research, I attempt to unfold the synthesis of sound.
[DIAGRAMS & MODELS] PER-FORM & FORM Music is like a self-generating creatures, under the effect of introduced force, it will split or merge or blend or twist. Rhythm, is the redistribution of energy that create different bursting of form while harmony is understood as how the form is harmonizing or repelling with each other. At the same time, it remains an overall holistic complex that cannot be separated, just like one single piece of musical art.

LA PETITE CEINTURE
PARC DES BUTTES-CHAUMONT
[DIAGRAMS] SITE & BUILDING AS BODIES Instead of treating the site as a static context to be responded to, I treat the site as a living body, subject to happenings. The railway, originally passing by the site, is now injecting into and merging with the site. Within the site, the building serves as one node point, echoing with other node points in the landscape.
EVENTS AS SOUNDS ACTIVATED
PHRASES DEVELOPMENT
From the research, I understanding music as a synthesis of sounds (creating bonding of sounds) with multiplicity of repetitions and differences. It is impossible to create one part of building in isolation. The parts of the building are mutually defining the form of each other. Each form, is unfolded from virtual force introduced from its inner constituent parts or the counterparts.

The whole process is activated by introducing a Fontis as an intervention interfering the railway, and an entrance to the underground labyrinth.

[EXPLODED DRAWING] FIGURES & CONFIGURATION The building as a frozen melody is a configuration composed of more than 100 figures. Each figure is like a chord or motif, with uniqueness and at the same time interdepending on the adjacent figures.
[MODELS & SECTIONAL DIAGRAMS] GESTURE & FIGURES The elemental pieces of the building are like the siblings to each other. They are all generated from the same underlying motif - interactions between the linear force and the circular force. Variations are created by imaging the transformation of the form from perceivable geometries into organic gesture.

[MODEL INTERIORS] SPATIAL DEPTH & AFFORDANCE The stones, forming an improvised layer of the building body, as a more temporary layer compared to the concrete building body afford diverse human body experience. Meanwhile, it also introduces textural contrast to the sensational experience of the space. The form is graceful when it manifests the force in play. Different moments through the experience inside the building form are marked by its unique transitional spatial quality. Interior spatial quality are captured with the penetration of sunlight through the holes.

Primarily, this space gives a sense of vibrant continuation and changefulness, as known as the frozen primary melody. Highlighting particular moments throughout the flow, installations are put as nodes. They are like the accents in a melody putting emphasis on particular moments.

TROPICAL PALM
WOODEN WORKSHOP WITH LONG SPAN STRUCTURE Place: Johor Barhu, Malaysia This studio is to explore how to design a buildng concerning climate and structure. The requirement of the project is to build a timber workshop, including an archive library in sub-urban destrict in Malaysia, a tropical region with green area covered with palm trees. My project uses palm tree as inspiration for long span structure design, together designed with lighting quality. It aims to create a comfortable working environment by focusing on air movement across indoor and outdoor boundary. The process starts with massing dealing with climate and program with further development on structure and details.

[RENDER] HIGH POROSITY FOR VENTILAITION The project promotes diverse spatial quality and promotes outdoor activities. To stay out of the hot and wet tropical weather, one way is to enjoyed the shaped outdoor environment. This spatial quality also creates attractive environment for visitors relaxation around archive space.
[MODEL]
[PLANS] FUNCTION & CLIMATIC CONSIDERATIONS The layout of the building balance both the program of timber workshop and climatic strategies. Linear shape faciliates placement of wooden workshop machines. The building is east - west elongated to minimize low-angled sun light, and the mass being broken down for better ventilation across. Openings are perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction to maximize cross ventilation.

FLOATING ASSEMBLAGE FLOATING HYDROPONIC FRAMING GREENHOUSE PROTOTYPE
Place: Maldives The requirement of this studio is to design a greenhouse in Maldives as there is practically no agriculture on Maldives, which means that almost all food is imported. From the research, it is noted that Maldives is also one of the first place in Earth facing the crisis of rising see level. In this studio, I am exploring through design to tackle these two programs at the same time. Inspired from story of a cocount, one of the identity image of Maldive, on how it flows among lagoons and grows into palm tree sustaining its species, my design ends up as a floating greenhouse module prototype. This studio requires practical solutions and articulations, not just a conceptual thinking, hence drawing produced in high detail level.

[PLAN] SHAPE & CONFIGURATION The prototypes is designed in hexagon for two reasons. Hexagon are composed by triangles, which in practical provide structural strength. Hexagon are good shapes for tessellation, so that the modules can be connected to one another effectively. The layout is design in a way striking a balance between a centric configuration and linear configuration. Centric configuration is good for reducing the imbalanced buoyant force act on the floating structure by the water as it shortens the maximum distance between the structural edge and its center. The linear configuration allows effective transportation of crops through trolleys.

WANDER & WONDER SUBURBAN COMMUNITY LIBRARY Place: Tung Chong, Hong Kong This studio is to design a thematic library on a chosen site, requiring students to address most of the issues of a practical medium size building, from conceptual design to details and interiors. My project, Trinity Discovery, aims to merge the reading process, a discovery process that includes seeking, digesting and reflecting ,with the spatial and visual experience, meanwhile echoing with the village context and the topographical conditions. The design process is in a parallel way. It addresses issue outside the building such as connection with the diverse site environment of Tung Chong and the formal expression. At the same time it investigates the relationship of form and interior spatial quality through perspective. Structural issues and details are considered in the later stage.

THE NODES
CONCEPTUAL PAVILION OF EXPRESSIVENESS Place: Park Library of Trees, Milan This studio focus on the conceptual thinking to design a building with coherent storyline, encouraging we studio to explore with imaginative approaches. This project introduces “nodes� on an assigned Milan Site, the park library of trees landscape, to create a melodic and rhythmic piece, as a crystallized expression of liveliness. Nodes are the main compositional elements of Milan urban context. In urban scale, the pavilion itself acts as a new node to highlight the axis which connects the Piazza Gae Aulenti to the Library of Trees. For the pavilion, it is composed of nodes situating on new axes formed from the existing trees. Echoing with the dynamicity expressed by local people around the site, instead of being static objects, the nodes unfold themselves to attain an ambiguous, expressive form with gravitational pull from centres. The pavilion, as an expressive and performative subject, provokes sensations and introduces memorable experience to the visitors walking along its body.

ABSTRACTION & ANALOGY The capture the dynamicity, an analogical approach is used. The planning and objects are abstracted into nodes as joints in a body under motion. The left drawings are the process how the existing urban fabric is being re-networked with the introduction of the pavilion in a particular location.

[REDNERS & DIAGRAMS] SPIRAL MOTION UNFOLDING All bodies are subject to gravity. The graceful quality of a spirial motion attributes to the tension built up as one being attracted towards and escaping against the centre of gravity. The pavilion, can be understood as a series of spirial motions unfolded and merging. The diagrams below are the process understanding how graceful spirial form can be created with different orientations and dimensions.
[PLAN] GRIDS & LAYOUT According to the irregular griding from the proposed landscape design at the location, different nodes are being placed. Then the nodes unfold themselves in spiral motions connected each other. The spatial quality are being enriched by introducing a series of holes to create more curves.
[ISOMETRIC DRAWING] CONTINUOUS FLOW OF LANDSCAPE The top of the pavilion forms a landscape with stepping and sloping. Dimensions of the steps are designed to provide sloping variations and afford different activities above. The landscape rises from the ground to the top and intertwined with the bottom part of the pavilion at certain locations.
[ELEVATION & SECTION] The section, shows the laying quality of the pavilion. The bottom part of the pavilion provides pocket spaces with its wrapping layers. The holes are also placed penetrating the upper part and the lower part, where people at two levels interact.
