PATH OF COLLISION A DOUBLE NEGATIVE SERIES
ARCH 100A | UC BERKELEY | 2015 FALL INSTRUCTOR: PATRICK TIERNEY
The existance and the meaning of a library have been changed as the current of digital learning gradually dominate more and more people’s life style; the collision of receiving knowledge and information in between reading paper books and online information demands nowadays libraries to possess a methodology that satisfies the two parties. In this project, the Potreo Hill Library will be re-approached through the investigation and observation of the double negative series, of which focus on the solid-void relationship, the programs in the poche space, and the vertical circulation in a constrained site.
SERIES I - DOUBLE NEGATIVE
SERIES II - STAIR
Double negative is a spatial condition occurs when two or more void spaces intersecting each other within a box, which creaes the left-over continuous solid block identifying the intersected void space(s).
PROJECT FOCUS At the second phase of the series, stair was introduced to study the interaction in between the circulation and the existing site context. Since the project site has a limited width of 15ft., the prior spiral staircase concept has to be adjusted accordingly and intensified the tension at two ends. Finally, the visitors can experience the double negative conditions while wandering around the stair.
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Since the perspective to look down from upper level of a spiral staircase, which wraps around the central void, can receive fragmental shapes along itsmovement, this visual connection is considered to be a secondary force that intersecting the staircase. DESIGN PROCESS The procedure of the project is to use photos of staircase to create a photomontage that generate a concept and understand the spatial relationship within. A 4x8x16 solid block then to be used to set boundary for voids that intersecting within and to define the double negative moments. The pyramidic voids are being used to penetrate the solid block and intersect the continuous spiral staircase mimicking void in various levels and directions. Eventually, double negative conditions can be noticed along the spiral movement.

VIEW FROM UPPER LOOP OF THE STAIR
The stair is divided to two loops : the upper loop allows visitors to have better view to the San Francisco city scape while the lower loop connects 20th Street’s level to the opened space below.
VOID THAT FOLLOWS THE FORM OF THE CIRCULATION
VOID CONCENTRATES THE TENSITY OF THE VIEW
The loop of the staircase from the very top viewing spot to 2nd floor balcony viewing spot receives most of the natural elements, such as daylight, wind, and, of course, this annoying San Francisco rain.
It is getting darker when walking down from the 2nd floor balcony viewing spot to the ground level gathering area, but it is very interesting to see other level’s people walking by through these notches.
Let’s go inside the ellipse tube before other people crowd in there. I heard people said you can see every level of the stair within and hear the wind blowing inside. Maybe it is a good spot to take our selfie.

SITE CONTEXT The project is located in a townhouse residential and commercial mixed community on the 20th Street. The hill side condition provides the project site a superiority to have a better view to the San Francisco city; however, limited buildable space enhance the constrain of the existing site.

SERIES III - THE POTRERO HILL LIBRARY PROJECT APPROACH The library is divided into digital learning space(the opened space) and physical books learning space(the poche space). The digital learning space has more connection to the exterior environment, which allows digital readers to enjoy the view and rest after a long period of staring at screens. On the contrast, the physical books learning space has a large amount of book storage for people to search for information and have more attention to the people as well as focus on the social interaction. However, the people in both space can exchange their position and have visual interaction with the people in the opposite space through the light wells or the extruded voids. Ultimately, the visitors will experience the reversed condition of solid become void and vise versa through wandering around the “path of collision.”

PATH OF POROSITY A FACADE SYSTEM SERIES
ARCH 100B | UC BERKELEY | 2016 SPRING INSTRUCTOR: LEGG YEUNG
In the fast paced city of San Francisco, people tend to get their daily meals in convenient stores or fast food restaurants in order to maximize their working time; in addition, the image of fast foods and easy foods are constantly broadcasted through advertising medias by enterprises. However, the habbit of eating fast foods may cause people weight gain, high cholesterol, and heart disease. On the other hand, since fast foods are considered to be cheap, people may overbuy their meals and create waste foods. As a result, the project of Good Food will utilizing the architecture itself as an image to provoke the concept of “eating less fast foods, eating more good foods.�
SERIES I - PRECEDENT ANALYSIS
SERIES II - THE GOOD FOOD
PROJECT CONCEPT The project focus on the projection of light through multiple layers with various condition of porosity; with the daylight travels through the building facade(the skin), the enveloped structures(the bone), the circulation path(the artery), and eventually on the two atrium voids(the lungs). The architecture itself is provoking the concept of good food that passersby from the exterior of the building can see the vegetation growing when the skin with fast foods logo unfold up, and the visitors exploring the building’s interior space through the artery can gain more knowledge(oxygen) through circulating around the lung and the programs.
PRECEDENT STUDY - THE CRYSTAL The Crystal in Copenhagen, Denmark was utilizing as a precedent to investigate how various building systems play as the regulator to control the performance of the space. UNROLLING FLOOR PLAN There are a lot of unique qualities in the building; however, three major building systems, building porosity, operable system, and breathable building were discovered along with the unrollment of The Crystal from floor plan’s perspective, which explain the sequence of water, air, and light treavel through spaces from exterior skin facade to interior atrium void.
SURPASSION As the precedent analysis explains how the building can be understood through the unrollment of its floor plan, in the good food project, the strategy will be inherited but surpass the possibility of connecting all levels and major visitor circulation. In addition, not only the water, air, and sun light penetrate through multiple layers in horizontal direction, the Good Food also develop in vertical direction that further intensify building porosity identify program performance.
BUILDING POROSITY Porosity is the measure of void space in an area. It is the ratio of small openings in a surface where gas, liquid, and light may pass through. Porosity is used to alter the temperatures, light equity, humidity within a building, and can also reveal the contents of a building to the exterior viewer. BUILDING FACADE POROSITY
BUILDING STRUCTURE POROSITY
OPERABLE SYSTEM Operable system are used along side porosity to control a degree of openness. Operable systems integrated with transformable opening technology can maintain the amount of light in a space or allow outside air into the interior to control temperatures and air quality. CLOSED

BREATHABLE BUILDING In general, breathability describes the interaction between the water and buildings. Water has an affect on the conditions of the building fabric, the temperature and humidity, and the health and decay of the occupants. The vertical Atriums within the Crystal Building increase the ability of air extraction. With the direct connection of the ground floor and the roof, water can be easily flows in and out through air-conditioning system in both top-down or bottom-up direction. BREATHABLE BUILDING SYSTEMS

The proposed research project – the seismic sensor— was originally explored from three artifacts, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, Raimund Abraham’s House of Euclid, and Isamu Noguchi’s coffee table. With a series of historical fragments creating relationship in between the three, a graphical indicator was formed, and gradually informed or revealed my intuitive interest on Japanese Metabolism Movement. One of the major concerns and developed concepts of the metabolism movement inscribes the build environment as a “continuous change condition” due to its instability and destructibility, which inspired and led to my further research on destructive seismic and earthquake movement, for the urgency of the San Francisco bay area exposing at the intersection to the San Andreas fault line. Unlike the traditional and current market selling products that are commonly constrained by their inaccessibility due to high system cost and their unfamiliarity due to its machine-like feature, the seismic sensor could not only be mass produced by 3D printed technology or injection molding, but also maintain an elegant figure as a piece of art for people to collect at home.

THESIS STATEMENT TOTEMIC OPERATOR The seismic sensor is a provocative product that criticize on market earthquake sensors and quake alarms for their inaccessibility and unfamiliarity to global seismic hazard region’s residents. Originally, the product was developed from a series of artifacts and historical fragments which formed a graphical indicator or mapping, revealing my intuitive interest on building interchangeable modules to adapt instable and destructible environment. As the Japanese Metabolism Movement was arguably a political response to the man-made disaster World War II and the destructibility of cities, the seismic sensor is a political response to past earthquake tragedies and the urgency of popularizing alerting products to regions intersecting fault lines.
1ST FPOSITION
Therefore, comparing to the other two typologies, the Fibaro flood alarm and smoke alarm which are considerably environmental monitoring machines with elegant skin, the seismic sensor is prospectively to possess a similar result to the case studies. Dissecting the model more closely, the machine is composed by the Arduino programmer, the vibration sensor or the geophone, the LED lights or strips, and buzzer, powered by a 9V battery and could be updated simply through computer with an A-B Male USB cable. All components are equally stationed either within the interior surface or in between the surface appearance. TOTEM TRANSFORMATION HISTORY

ADAPTATION
Not even mention other regions or cities, the San Francisco Bay Area has been exposed in danger to the San Andreas Fault Line and scientists had announced that it will crack in the near future. As a result, the seismic sensor demand technologies not only could predict seismic wave beforehand and aftershocks, but also it demands a more efficient and flexible method to manufacture for mass production and prefabrication, for example, 3D printed technology or injection molding. By using this methodology, the product could be more accessible and familiar due to its low cost and interchangeability.

SPACE OF APPEARANCE The exterior signs of an architectural artifact do not always directly reflect its interior surfaces; in another word, the form of the exterior does not necessary explain or match the program within. St. Paul’s Cathedral is one of the example that shows the difference of its exterior and interior surfaces, which the exterior dome present the political dominance of the Christian religion while the interior highlight the harmony and concordance.

1. Plug an Ethernet cable into your Earthquake Sensor and connect it to one of the ports on the back of your Wifi router or an Ethernet jack in the wall. Do not plug the Ethernet cable from the Earthquake Sensor into your computer, unlike, a printer or some other device that connects to your computer, your Earthquake Sensor is a full-featured computer by itself. Once it’s been properly configured, it will hum along on its merry way, acting as a seismograph 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 2. Once the Ethernet cable is connected to the router, plug the unit in and power it on. A blue LED should light up on the Raspberry Shake card inside the machine. 3. Open a browser on your phone, tablet, desktop computer or laptop and navigate to: http://raspberryshake.local:5000 Note: Web elements are currently only activately supported on Google Chrome. Internet Explorer is not actively supported but this and other browsers may work as well. 4. Open the menu, choose the Settings icon and configure your Earthquake Sensor. After enabling data forwarding, please take a minute to zoom in and to select exactly where your Earthquake Sensor lives, down to the building and not just the city or town. This is critical for accurate earthquake locations. You can update this information at any time. 5. After you have answered all of the data forwarding questions and selected your Earthquake Sensor’s geolocation, hit the “Save and Restart” button. Wait a few minutes and then check out StationView. Search for your Earthquake Sensor on the station map (If you already had stationView open before configuring your Raspberry Shake, then hit Crtl+F5 first to refresh the page!). 6. Optional: Refresh the page after a few minutes, navigate to “Actions” and download Swarm, a Java-based program that will enable you to view the data on your local Desktop computer/ laptop.
