| A Line from Zero | A landscape extension of Burningman Individual Academic work Thesis Project Location: Black Rock Desert, Nevada, US Professor: Karin Matz & Rutger Sjรถgrim 2020 Summer
Over the past years, we have made countless explorations to promote urbanization. The whole project begins with my interest in possibility of non-urbanized area. As for human activities in desert, Burningman came to me first, as a well-known desert experiment. Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevadas Black Rock desert to create Black Rock city. The brief from the project was to design a linear space sequence to stage a recurring performance. It works for the people wanna experience the burnignman culture at any time in the site. I chose to read how people gradually invade into desert and how the natural recapture the power as such a performance to be staged.

DESERT & BURNINGMAN Why and how
However, it is often reported that upon leaving burningman, participants feel possessed of a desire to make their year-round world feel like life in Black rock city. According to the data in 2014, 20% of the participants will stay 1 days longer after the festival and 3% will stay more than 3 days, also some visitors during non-festival period. And as the extension of the burning man in the worldwide, there are many similar events all over the world and all year around. Through the Burning Man Regional Network, these Burners can stay connected to the flame, and bring it into their local communities. Then came to the question. Why there are so many extensive events related to all over the world? Well, it’s a global culture, and a way of living. Though people live for just one week in Black Rock City, many participants spend the rest of the year embodying these principles in their home communities as well and broadcasting to more people. -25-

In the simplest sense, Burning Man is a weeklong event that culminates with a giant human effigy burning to the ground. Participants set up a temporary city, complete with law enforcement, medical care, food, beverages and services. Then they carefully dismantle after a week so that there’s no trace they were ever there. Nowdays, the burningman sculpture are built higher with over 70 thousand participants.

Desert, as the largest account of untouched area on earth, occupies over 10% of the land area, compared with the 2% on urban and mixed settlement. It is an interesting topic to explore how human activities will take place in a desert context rather than urban context. When it comes to desert, the word itself means possibility, which all kinds of movements, layers and forms contribute to.

I tried to visualized the body feeling during the principles including hunger and thirst, fatigue, art works in view, time of staying in one camp and shadow or not. With the consideration of the arrival date and departure ratio tendency, more people drive more nature feeling away and get more artificial rules involved. In people scale Different body feeling requires different principles to get in. In desert scale nature elements and human installation push and pull to take the power.

Master Plan Location & Distance I want the line to be pilgrimaging, so I keep the central axe till the boundary of the desert. Meanwhile I take the nature direction as the connection to the town road, which is more friendly to the people arriving at Gerlach without private transportation. The entire event continues over 10 days, so the logic is to transform the timeline to space line. To some extent, it is also an installation to fuse and segregate the urbanism and desert itself. Looking into the site, the camp site is 10 mins drive to the nearest town, Gerlach, which is on the only way to burningman site.When consider about the direction of the line, there are several issues matter. There is a central axe to or from burningman and a direction from nature, from north to south.

Starting Point | 03 03 03 03 03 03 |
It locates at the turning point of the entire routine. In desert scale, As the first collision between texture and human activity, the passing way following nature pattern and the open-air theatre with artificial form collage together without compromise to each other. In people scale, as the starting point, people are energetic without so much art works in view. They wont stay there for a long time and thus they don’t need much shadow to shelter. it just need to separate itself from environment to mark it out. The gird generated by the columns with solar panel creates an order and direction for this point. The space among the columns could be the exhibition corridor for the art works from the festival.The theatre is temporary structure during the festival, after which there is only the walk way left. And longer scales of time, years, it may disappear in the sand

No.1 Rest Station 4.1km from Starting Point
It is very beginning stage of the hiking. Human activity and nature pattern collide the second time according to the timeline analysis. In desert scale , nature part gets less involved while the human part gets more. In people scale. They are a little tired and the art works in view increased and needs more shadow to rest. People start to realize the burningman feeling and open up themselves to be who they are, who are always be welcomed.And the plan shows a possible function distribution based on the wall. It is not fixed, could be defined by the hikers themselves. The same way, the gird generated by the columns with solar panel creates another language and frame work for the art works exhibition

No.2 Rest Station 8.1km from No.1 Rest Station
It is almost the half way of the routine to the destination. Human activity and nature pattern collide the third time according to the timeline analysis. In desert scale , nature part gets less involved while the human part gets more. And hybrid pattern generates some enclosed space for gathering. In people scale, suppliments start to be scarce. People need the principle dcommodification , gifting and radical self- reliance to continue. The scope of human activity becomes larger. The demands for shadow increased. And the plan shows a possible function distribution based on the wall. It is not fixed, could be defined by the hikers themselves.

No.3 Rest Station 2.8km from No.2 Rest Station
It is almost 3 quarter of the routine to the destination. Human activity and nature pattern collide the forth time \ according to the timeline analysis. At this stage, people start the carnival celebration, so the nature part occupies the lowest proportion ever. And the human part takes the power. And hybrid pattern generates artificial arch. In people scale, suppliments decreases, carnival activities absord the participation and immediacy to maximize people body feeling.Meanwhile, people already walk 15.5km in total spending 8-10 hours, this point is a good choice for overnight rest. And the plan shows a possible function distribution based on the wall. It is not fixed, could be defined by the hikers themselves.

The Destination 2.8km from No.3 Rest Station
It is something like an after party mediation area. The human hand over the power back to the nature. And rethinking the entire routine as the commune. Get involved with ciic responsibility ,communal efforts and leaving no trace. There are small rest points at the very beginning. And the open air theatre locates in the middle with weather radio center as gathering space. Then the routine split into 2 directions. One follows the nature direction and works as a star obserory, while the other follows burningman direction and works as the final station, viewing the burningman camping site.

05 Inhabitable Wall Researching, Literature Reading, and Designing Individual Academic work Location: Nacka, Stockholm, Sweden Professor: Helen Runting, Karin Matz & Rutger Sjögrim 2019 Spring

I found Nacka has repeat the same housing style so many times. The typology itself needs some changes. And I found that properties define the function of a room by the size. However, functions doesd not produce rooms. It is the room itself produce funcitons. Then I set up super homogenous grids to sitimulate an extreme idealized mega community, which represent a way of understanding housing the city by reducing the form to such a simple and repetitive expression. ‘ Girds and equal-size‘ can produce the autonomous units of a modular urban formation. I establish an dwelling community with this concept and the typology research. My program will create a non-differential system of distribution bthat can coincide with spatial infrastructures and an emerging networked urban organization.

The mega-sequences composed by new urban continuity have never been Hyperbuildings of modernity nor excavations of historical layers. They have never been fixed sections nor still fragments but dynamic and fluid urban conditions, that keep evolving and reconstructing upon the “interface”.
Frame work
vertical transportation
I supposed to build a wall so that there will be a distinction between two sides. There used to be three different typologies of relationship between them, highly homogenous, highly segregational and exclusionary, half segregational and exclusionary. And the ideal typology is more transparent and flexible.
There was an increasingly rapid urbanisation in postwar Sweden, with housing shortages becoming something of a political liability for the ruling Social Democrats.
Through a reinterpretation of this street-based type, a new relationship between type and urban form is conceived, with the aim of establishing a clear use and definition of public spaces – a constant and controversial issue found in other housing types.
It cast light on contrast between mega and small, order and disorder, old and new, random and precise, lines and curves. Grid represents a lucidity of intention and exactness of construction that transcends the divide between classicism and modernism via its repeated utilization.

The project presents a horizontal vertical condition that hides different lifestyles and isolates at different heights. The proposed 6*6 square meter unit, 6 meters high, due to the limited space of the environment, serves as the main structure for the residents, allowing them to customize the space according to the number of residents in a given period of time. The units are connected by a “plus” flat connection within the four units. Due to the lack of vertical social life, the staircase is used as the main purpose of circulation elements. This creates the idea of the staircase as an extension of the family space. The staircase in the middle of the building becomes the main circulation, the meeting space.

Nacka future urban fabric is consist of independent neighborhoods and homogenous building typologies. The development plan is largely based on the modernist neighborhood units. Moreover, in recent years, the majority of residential construction was composed of similar apartments, offering a typology that fails to align with the diverse household compositions and necessities. As a result, my purpose is to provide an architectural framework to a new kind of dystopian form. There will be 4000 new dwellings as planned. I will consider the light and the user experience first. And whether the formation can be expand with out locality is the second consideration. The first layer is the equal-size room of dwelling. It did establish a random arrangement and combination of different kinds of room like livingroom, bedroom, bathroom and kirchen. The second layer is the random housing rural style however in urban location, which are kept for diversity in urban scale. Then city wall idea comes from dogma’s project, a simple heart. Meanwhile inspiresd by the Markthal of MVRDV and the Ford Foundation by Kevin, the wall can be activated with habitable character. In terms of construction, the real wall and the habitable wall need coexist. so they looks seperated but in fact connected by the big balconies and the framework on the top.
