physical structure---------------------->parametric structure physical properties---------------------->parametric properties
Flexible Cube The Concept of Flexible Cube is when a physical structure is parameterized, some potential properties which maybe contradictory to its physical properties could be found and developed. In this case a physical cube is build in parametric method. When it turns into a surreal deployable structure that could insert into itself, the parametric statistics could reveal a variety of strenchness and volumn.

different speeds---------------------------->different experiences
Co-Lab Distance and volumn are not always measured visually. Given the same room,the same building, the same street,or the same city, people always get different experiences because of their different speeds. In this project, building is a tool to redesign users’ speeds. Each program of the building could put certain impact on people’s speed. When the property is well applied to the design process, these programs could compose a network of speed incubators. Then people could have better experience while they are the dynamic elements of the network.

1.Crumple a Two-dimensional surface into a Three-dimensional ball
2.Cut sections of the ball
projection on site
3.Connect the sections through a One-dimensional thread

Site map could be translated to a reformed new map in which each building has certain ability to capture people’s attention and ‘steal’ their time,then change their time lie.. For instance,the facade of a grand church could get people more attention than a ware house, and a theater has more impact on people’s schedule than a 7-11. When site is reviewed under the perspective of timing steal and attention capture,it will reveal a totally different appearance which actually make it easier to introduce Co-Lab(a creative oriented cooperate studio and a subject market)into it.
Delaware River
Philadelphia SITE
Imagine an ant is walking in the experimental space. Surpose the start is point A and the terminal is point B. The blue circulation which is based on the folds in the crumpled ball will be a slow one compared to red circulation based on the thread. But at the same time, ant on blue circulation would absorb much more information from the crumpled structure than ant on red circulation.

Since different circulations produce different speeds, events happening on the circulations and the sites by the circulations which sharp the circulations would resharp people’s sense of time, which means timelines is sharped by space.

Therefore the space people experience and feel has been resharped , folded or strenched by their speed. The by-product of the transformation is the gap between the real time and the time people feel. For instance, when speed increases, the distance and time will be shortened and the information will be diluted and blurred,. But when speed slows down, time and distance will be strenched and information will be much more denser.

Since each single program could be decomposed into multi-actions.(gallery is constituted of communication and artwork),decomposing programs provides a clear method to map the overrall distribution of facilities which are used to support these programs.

AUTISTIC VS COMMUNICATION Site itself incubates certain behavior which could reflect its properties. Friendly site incubates friendly behavior while closed site causes autistic and antisocial. Therefore,changing the orientaion,openness,scale of site could put a significant impact on behaviors within the site. To design an environment where autistic could be cured,designer should start from designing a open,easy-communication environment. One key element is psychological distance between people. The less it is, the more communication there would be. So the focus is to design a actional site where psychological distance could be minimized.

area of communication space
DESIGN STRATEGY The program is Autism Rehabilitation Centre,which is an actional space to shorten psychological distance,increase eye communication,provide group activities space, increase interaction opportunities. Therefore it is necessary to intorduce sight cone to visualize eye contact.
properties of site---------------------->properties of behavior
Communication Bazaar Eye contact is a psychological tie which plays a significant role in people’s daily communication. In many cases, eye contact is affected by the environment in which people walk, sit and talk. Once figure out the relationship between space and eye contact, designers could build up an artificical space which could shorten the psychological distance between people by creating more eye contacts.

site analysis To some extent,BenJamin Franklin Brigde cuts Penn’s landing into two totally different communities.The south is famous tourist areas full of vistors and aritists. Just go across the bridge,people will find that the north is almost countryside.Prosperity and vitality has been cut by the bridge. From this perspective,I regard the small garage as a dose of catalyst which could introduce people’s interest to the north and gradually integrate the north and the south.

Not Just Garage
Mobile food truck serves as the advertisment of the garage, by attracting people go through the bridge.
A statue could turn a wasteland into a park; A park could turn an abandoned place into a dynamic community.Therefore,a food truck garage could serve as a catalyst that can activate whole area as long as it is designed not just a garage.
The area enclosed by the pink line is the new service area of the urban food garage.That means people would like to the North to enjoy the food.
