Cocoon Cross Cultural Construction Platform Context, C.A.R.E, Byoung Cho Architects, Sara Kim - Diagonal Thoughts As an integrated part of the first semester of master‘s program, we were exploring the challenges of designing in one context and constructing the design 1:1 in another context.

Cocoon is a space for teaching and exhibiting projects to visitors of the agriculture centre, Krishi Vigyan Kendra. The aim is to create a space for exhibitions and teaching constructed of bamboo on a granite based plinth. Furthermore the project includes a brick construction including a compost toilet.

The project was completed in december 2014 in colaboration with the 18 participating students in Studio Context, Aarhus School of Architecture and 10 students of the C.A.R.E School of Architecture, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, South India. Due to this collaboration the project has been involving a learning path in communication and construction, while requiring a specific attention to context, culture and craftmanship.

The project resulted in a mock-up reproduction in spring 2015 for the Milano Design Week 2015 (14.04.2015-19.04.2015) as part of the Exhibition: Engaging Through Architecture, by Aarhus School of Architecture. This follow-up large scale model was chosen as one of the 12 highlighted designs by inhabitat.com at the Ventura Lambrate exhibit at Milano Design Week 2015.

3D Rendering, in collaboration with Kristine Tangvall & Susanne Adibi

Working with the idea of this communal space, an open/transparent aesthetic has been one of the main concepts for developing this space.

This aesthetic is achieved through the attention to light and materiality.

The partially open bamboo structure of the main space allows a natural ventilation. The bamboo shingles enclose the indoor space and give shelter from rain and wind. An open space in front of the main space allows for gatherings, outdoor exhibitions and connects the programs.

Adjacent to the main structure the toilet building is made primarily of bricks with walls that surround the outdoor space while framing the outdoor furniture. The toilet complex is situated according to the technological research behind a compost toilet. The south wall is hereby positioned to absorb heat. This creates a natural transportation of ascending gasses through ventilation pipes, preventing smell. Furthermore the construction of the waterbasin in front of the toilet complex is based on water purifying technologies. The toilet is hereby an intended to be self sufficient and part of the sustainable aim of the project.

Exhibited Performance Dialogues between building and people With a combined fine arts and performance centre we add a new step to the eventful timeline of the existing building, Prora. Thee project raises the question: when is art exhibited, and when is it performed?

The brief said to transform the abandoned, intensional nazi vacation centre, Prora into an extension of the University of Arts in Berlin. In a group of two, we were asked to work with the combination of two art forms as a foundation for the strategy of transformation.

Sassnitz

Context Spanning 4,5 km along the coast of Prorer Wiek between the vacation destination, Binz and the seaport Sassnitz, R端gen Germany, the Nationalistic intended beach resort, Prora appears as a trace of man-made historical events.

Between the northern ruins and the southern newly renovated appartments lies the part of Prora that on first hand seems abandoned. Hidden from the beach behind military-planted woods, the building represents a continuous reinforced concrete grid structure that has become a witness to climatic degradation and the inhabitation of artists.

Through the vacant period over the last thirty years, the weather conditions and the coincidential use by people have tranformed the building from its propagandic intentions to a ground for the discussion, weather vandalism is art.

The structure within the building serves as a part of a device, enabling the two art forms to meet and to locate where they work together and where they confront each other.

Fine Arts Spaces

An added rail structure with flexible canvas walls is attached to the existing concrete grid, creating a variety of different sized flexible spaces.

2nd Floor Plan

The spaces in between can be created through piviting the canvases. These include a double wooden frame. The outer frame is directly attached to the rail and enables the canvas to pivit. The inner frame enables the user to attach different materials as a wall, depending on the use.

The user will control these openings, but each opening will reveal a new relation that can be used in a new way.

The dialogue between user and the surrounding space is intended to become a confrontation between movement and materiality, where one influences the other.

Scenographical Spaces Dance Theatre „A counteraction to the traditional ballet, searches for new shapes for dance performance across genres“ With this project, I claim that a given environment can challange the dance as much as the dance can challange it‘s surroundings.

The flexible walls can create different spaces that become part of the set wherein the performance takes place. This makes an interaction between the user and his surroundings possible. Each flexible wall is situatied in front of a window, which transforms the whole building into a userbased light performance.

Exhibition space A meeting between the Fine Arts spaces and the Performance spaces.

In the five-storie-tall open space in the middle of the building, the rails of the added structure are free from the existing concrete grid. The canvases from the artict‘s spaces can be transported along the rails from the introvert spaces into the open exhibition space.

A public circulation connecting the existing staircases with the new added wooden pathways that leed you as a visitor through the set of performing artists. Now and then you will meet a floating canvas, a piviting wall or be included in a performance yourself.

A House for Music Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre A combination of several briefs led to a project where individual research was transformed into a proposal for a new cultural centre with performance spaces for traditional Irish music, completed as a group work.

The individual analysis of the site, The Naul, 30 kilometers north of Dublin on the old coach road to Drogheda, formed the base for a place that intends to invite both locals and visitors to perform or be the audience to traditional music.

Integrating the slope of the site through a core path through the planned area, connects the eastside, towards the main road through the village, and the back road towards the forest and the church towards west. Curved, solid walls of concrete compliment the shape of the planned area, while connecting the continuous circulation inside and outside.

The aim was to let the shape of both the building‘s exterior and interior circulation path create a natural flow and hereby connect all the programs to one centre curve.

The Village, The Naul Walking through the village it becomes very clear, how everyone knows everyone and how everything that happens in the village is known of by everyone. Most of the locals have lived here for generations and have acquired a routine of movement between their private home and the public facilities, such as the pub, the local shop and the Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre Café. These public buildings are all positioned around the big crossroad, which concentrates the movement of the locals in this area. “People grab a pint at the pub before walking over to listen to the next music gig on in the Seamus Ennis Centre, its all very casual” was what the woman, living in the house next to our site, told me.

A House for Music „Our gaze travels through space and gives us the illusion of relief and distance. That is how we construct space, with an up and a down, a left and a right, an in front and a behind, a near and a far (...) if it meets with nothing, it sees nothing, it sees only what it meets.“ - George Perec, Species of Spaces and Other Pieces

This workshop aimed to experiment with different visual effects to emphasize the threshold between light and shadow, usind the model from the preveous project development.

The Williamsburg Trilogy A visual and audiotive meeting place In a group of two we were asked to design a hybrid building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. We were asked to base our research on two different characters from this area.

We based our design on a blind person and a homeless person. We let the blind person be the inspiration for a research in visual and audiotive relations, while the homeless person inspired to focus on private and public relations.

Alltogether this created a curiousity for experimenting with a new material that complimented both visual and audiotive relations.

This made us experiment with plastic pipes as a main structural element.

The hollow pipes work as a transporter of sound while the diffuse see-through effect makes the building almost transparent to the outside. The damp from the kitchen will be transported upwards through the pipes, blocking the light and visual connection.

Rainwater travels downwards through the pipes, and can become a watercollective element for indoor planting.

Creating spaces with these elements in mind, has led to a proposal for a building that can communicate with its inhabitants and surroundings in a new way.

Window in Valice Mapping the Intangible „Movement is experience“ - Olafur Eliason The window glass has a huge impact on the communication between the inside of the room behind the glass and the events outside the window. Technically the transparency of the glass allows us to see what‘s inside but in different lighting the reflections in the glass can more or less be a delamination between the inside and the outside and hereby add another dimension into the opening that visually binds the inside and outside together.

The brief for this individual project said to construct a device for our own window that draws attention to more ephemiral aspects of a space. We were asked to map the every day circumstances of our window and translate these into a mechanical window replacement.

I created a device made of sliding and piviting panels. The size I measured according to the strength of the wind required to pivit them. I positioned the variation of panels according to the direction of the wind during the year.

Different materials create different reflections on the oposite wall. Depending on how the panels catch the wind and on how the user opens these panels, the reflection and hereby the perception of the surroundings change.

Every morning the wind catched my curtain and throws it into the room.

Today I discovered the shadow play on the wall for the first time.

An Archive The narrative box is created as an archive for the window device. Every mechanism within the box is related to the piviting and sliding panels.

The box becomes an archive of the process while being an active part of it.

Green Solution House Regenerative Architecture In addition to providing a greater storage capacity for runoff water, wetlands act like a sponge to retain water and can be used for different solutions for purifying water while providing food chain and living environment for a broad range of animals and plants while transportation of different organisms increase biodiversity.

Wetland water flow reduces the water velocity, through a maximized edge and reduced slope. It minimizes the energy that retains the nutrients in water. Nutrients are released and can enter the cycle of natural fixation of nitrogen and nutrients followed by ammonification to ammonia through gravel and sediment.

Microorganisms as Cyanobacteria (Blue-green algae) on stones convert ammonia to nitrates that are taken in by plant roots creating a base for photosynthesis and further growth. Vertical or horisontal solutions can be used for purifying water and provide a healthy environment for plants and animals within a constructed wetland.

This Brief said to rethink the already existing proposal from GNX Architects, Copenhagen, for the Green Solution House on Bornholm. The project developed through one hand drawing, creating a proposal for a learning space for visitors. The people visiting will be able to access and be involved in every step of the process of the water collecting raingardens, the polutionizing beetowers and the purifying wetlands.
