Introduction

Porifera What’s your imagination of the ocean? The ocean has many mysteries and unknown areas waiting for humans to explore. They are dangerous, attractive, as well as obscure. Ocean pool is a kind of proof of human ambition and challenges Spirit in exploring the sea. From the perspective of architecture, architects have a chance to connect humans with nature by creating space and redesigning the shape of public space. At the same time, we also have opportunities to bring people the vanishing beauty of the ocean.

The project’s initial purpose is to redesign the public site for the Malabar ocean pool. People will get more accessibility to the rocks and the oceans. Another target is showing the changing geometry to convey a message from one ancient creature, glass sponges, in the deep. I hope the project can not only provide more looking out points for the visitor in the ocean pool but also improve awareness of protecting our marine through the experience in the gallery.

This project will include two parts, one is the research and prototype exploring for touching, another is the gallery design at ocean pool.

Tactile research

Why we need haptic reflection One reason we need tactility is that there are many people can not be aware to a spatial form their eyes.

Here we obtained three main ways of vision loss in people with low vision through simulations of low vision glasses.

Detail is lost with reduced acuity

detail is washed out by reduced contrast

Simulation of low vision Combination Loss glasses will simulate Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Retinitis suggesting the occurrence of floaters and spotty vision loss associated with CMV Retinitis.

Central Field Loss Simulator suggests the type of vision loss caused by macular degeneration. The degree of loss is determined by the distance from the eyes and measured using an Amsler Grid.

Peripheral Loss Simulator suggests the type of visual loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa or advanced glaucoma.

Overall Blur Simulator suggests the type of vision impairment caused by cataract or other conditions involving the cornea that interfere with the passage of light.

Hemifield/Hemianopia Simulator suggests the type of vision impairment that may result from stroke or injury to the brain.

Low Contrast Charts Simulator suggests the loss of detail, color and sharpness that many older people experience with normal age-related vision changes.

Color Simulator suggests the way a maturing cataract may affect functional vision and interfere with daily activities.

Tactile research

HAPTIC MATERIAL REPRESENTATIONS

· INDEPENDENT HAPTIC MATERIAL REPRESENTATIONS Haptic material representations can emerge independently of visual experience, and that there are no advantages for either blind or sighted observers in haptic categorization, which means blind people have the same perception of materials as sighted people. · ORDERLINESS OF MATERIALS When research evaluate correlation of material properties, there is a difference between the correlations orderliness-friction and orderliness-three dimensionality for the blind and sighted participants. Correlations are smaller for sighted participants. In other words, the judgments on orderliness seem to be more dependent on friction and three-dimensionality for blind participants.

TACTILE IMAGE DESIGN

· SCALE OF TACTILE MATERIAL To facilitate tactile understanding, images are made of different materials with a tactile resemblance to the material of the object depicted. In tactile images of different materials, the material is chosen in such a way that the overall tactile impression of an object will be as similar as possible to the visual impression it makes. The important thing is for the object to resemble the impression of the true object as a whole, and so it is very seldom one can use the same materials as in the real object because the scale affects the impression made. The different materials have to articulate the image. · RELIEF TACTILE IMAGES Complicated shapes and carelessly drawn lines make the tactile reading of an image TACTILE IMAGE DE- And the tactile difficult, clarity of form decide the high quality of the tactile image. image is the flat, two-dimensional surface on which the picture is presented in relief.

SIGN The picture surface is the plane on which the image is seen, both visually and by touch.

It is in relation to the picture area surface that all planes; shapes and lines acquire their character, which means that what we see and describe is always related to the picture surface. The high quality of tactile image requires chosen clear represent form for objects surface. · TECTURE MEANS STRUCTURE Many people speak of structure when what they really mean is texture. The structure of a surface is the order in which a pattern forms on it, and this has nothing to do with the nature of the surface. The texture is the nature of a character as perceived by touch, and texture often has an essential effect on visual experience as well because our visual experiences are often united with our tactile ones.

Tactile research

In this phase, we studied the existing ways of transmitting information to people with low vision. They all distinguish between information by adding different patterns to the tactile perception, by protruding or lowering.

Complicated shapes and carelessly drawn lines make the tactile reading of an image difficult, and clarity of form determines the tactile image’s high quality. And the tactile impression is the flat, two-dimensional surface on which the picture is presented in relief. The picture surface is the plane on which the image is seen, both visually and by touch. Concerning the picture area surface, all aircraft, shapes and lines acquire their character, which means that what we see and describe is always related to the picture surface. The high quality of tactile image requires chosen clear represent form for objects surface.

1.1 Inspiration

Inspiration: Glass sponge

Sponges are among the weirdest and most ancient animals on earth, and glass sponges are probably the most mysterious and most ancient of all sponges. They stand out because of their intense colouration, textured surfaces, and overall strangeness.

This project was inspired by the structure of this sponge, which is more familiar to be called minimal surface.

The farreid glass sponges especially have the unique generate system, Gyroid surface. the gyroid surface can be trigonometrically approximated by a short equation: {sin x*cos y+sin y*cos z+sin z*cos x=0} From the equation all the separations of spatial are conducted as continuous and coherent. They are lot of potential to be

MARC5010 ARCHITECTURAL STUDIO 1

Fading Elysium

These beautiful creatures commonly live in the deep ocean. Together with various chemicals, the glass sponge provides defence against the predators of the shrimps and small fishes. The spatial inside of the sponge is heaven for these minor species.

However, Glass sponge reefs were thought to have gone extinct about 40 million years ago and only a few habitate are preserved .

They are rare and untouchable for humans.

Entertainment and Enducation

The purposes of this project include two parts. The first one is for enriching the activities of the Malabar ocean pool. The unique structure of the glass sponge can be conducted by the designer to rebuild a series of resting spaces and good views.

Another target is for educating and Shortening the distance between man and creatures of the deep. While people can experience it like a fish in a glass sponge, the rare creature is still protected. Finally, I hope these spaces not only impress the public but also contribute to the conservation of the ocean.

Modifying methods of geometry

Based on the original equation, the form of the project will be produced in these ways, isolation, splitting, scaling and optimizing. In order to generate various forms to meet the needs of interactions or adjust the shape to a comfortable human body, one method is isolating the initial structure to several different parts. For the same purpose, The initial form of the glass sponge can be split into different depths. The scaling method is to create appropriate external spatial to the same specific form I desire. Finally, the geometry will be optimized by the grasshopper to avoid the overly sharp edges.

Prototype Testing Improving the Haptic Experience

PARAMETRIC CONSTRUCTION

Before getting into the scale of the building, the project begins by improving the perception of the curved surfaces. Several prototypes were researched to enhance the experience of touch in a touchable size of a toy. The gradient lining and the opening are the first two things which is implemented on the surface.

The lining Bulges are the representations of the curvilinear direction. They increased the sensibilities of the surface to the human. The opening is another way to express curvature changes of surfaces, and it provides a beautiful shading change on a small scale. The triangle bulge is another interpretation

Improving the Haptic Experience

Human’s body interactions are the primary method to produce entertainment space. The graphs I drew is the direct source to help adjust the unique geometries.

They record the major positions of human’s activities in a public space. While some actions have similar size requirements, the form differences can still produce various experiences with one code.

Construction Methods

The basic strategy of conducting whole surfaces is to use different panels connected by customized joints. A series of glass panels is designed as an intermediate support structure between the primary frame and the hexagonal panels. The U-shape steel structures are the immediate support and provide unblocked transportation for the project. In terms of panel designing, I used grasshopper to iterate the panel size to ensure minor panel variations.

Introduction Materials Material-driven Studio

Traditionally, architecture is taught and practised from a “topdown” approach. The designs are often developed from a series of increasingly more detailed design decisions. From site strategy to massing and program distribution, each decision must meet the brief and refine the design. In contrast to the traditional “top-down” approach, this studio aims to rediscover architecture as a consequence of materiality (from the ground up); Through research, prototyping and experimentation, we will interrogate the material itself with our own hands. The tests and prototypes will inform the design, from the detail to the overall form.

Primary Bio-Plastic

Produced from any Granulated Natural Food Form Naturally Biodegradable Life Cycle : 5-6 Months; with addition of CaCO3- up to 1 year

Pavilion Statement​

Through the Life Cycle of the Pavilion, people will witness how these bio-composites are made from food waste and then returned to the soil.

This pavilion will educate and encourage people to sympathize and start using these natural bioplastics in their everyday lives.

As a result, it will respond to reduce global carbon emissions and demonstrate the endless possibilities of these bio-based materials.

Social and Economic Justification

New South Wales has the maximum consumption of Plastics compared to other states in Australia.

Bio-plastic exhibition will help people think about reducing the use of plastic and use Bio-Plastic instead.

Secondary Flax Yarn

Naturally Occurring & Naturally Biodegradable Life Cycle : 5-6 Months; with coating of CaCO3 - up to 1 year Adheres to Bio Plastic very easily Works Well in Tension

Climatic Justification

Bio-Plastics work best in a Moderate Climate.

News South Wales : Temperate Climate.

We can achieve the desirable lifecycle of 5-6 months in New South Wales based on its Humidity and Weather conditions.

Secondary Rattan

Naturally Occurring & Naturally Biodegradable Life Cycle : 1-2 Years without weatherproof coating.

Inverting the Drop System

This testing and experimentation phase reveals to us several forms of bioplastics that I find exciting. One is that by stretching a material like a bioplastic, its volume shrinks inward, automatically forming a stable polygonal structure. Another is by changing gravity to create a solidified droplet form.

The whole planar form comes from the organic structure of autogenous stretching with bioplastics. At the same time, through the superposition of different layers, it will form a dappled light and shadow effect. Although there is a theoretical possibility by stretching different surfaces, the final result creates considerable uncertainty. So in the medium term, I abandoned this form of architecture.

The natural tightening of the bioplastic to the centre during the stretching process became the theme for the later construction of the pavilion. I chose to intercept the cross-section by selecting a compliant column from an existing mature experimental species. Rather than directly supporting the material, I pulled it up to form an indeterminate column, created the base form by compiling it, and finally attached the bioplastic to the surface.

Introduction

Interactive City Dining Garden This project will build a complex including a food hall, culinary school, business incubator, and affordable housing. Our design concept is Interaction. Ideally, It will become an interaction between the suburban area and its surrounding region. It is also an interaction between the site and the context. Our project will transform the word “interaction” into a physical special design to solve a social problem. The problem is lack of energy and the atmosphere of the surrounding districts is dull and breathless. Through investigation, we found that the area is a multicultural area. Residences have different cultural, educational, and financial background.

Besides, the income difference is significant here. Therefore, our objective is to minimize the gap between different groups of people and build a platform to help them to communicate and interact.

The food hall provides a place for surrounding residence to come and naturally build up an interaction with the others. It will provide many working opportunities. The culinary school will provide many activities for customers and also will help those people who are willing to learn more career skills. People who live in affordable housing can incubate their own businesses in the incubator. The whole complex will form a culinary industrial chain.

In this design, a 4* 4-meter box will be a modular unit, every space is built based on the single unit. We use the variation of cubic boxes to shape a dynamic form to break the dullness of the street corner. At the sometimes, the form finally shapes an enclosure garden, which is inspired by the Asian garden. The beautiful garden will provide an elegant view of customers and residence.

Animals, reptiles, insects and many birds thrived in this environment.

the development of immigrant communities

From as early as the 1810s, the Waterloo/Botany area provided steam power for grinding grain and milling cloth of local capitalists.

The 1850s the Waterloo mill had attracted industry such as rope making, tanning, wool washing and dairies

Waterloo has been the site of continuous Chinese occupation since at least the 1870s

MARC4001URBANARCHITECTURERESEARCHSTUDIO

During the depression of the 1920s, working people in Alexandria and Waterloo formed strong communities in what were often unpleasant environments

Since the 1970s, the twentieth century industrial landscape of vast factories was fading.

As the new buildings of the future begin to rise and hope to preserve old associations and local identity.

Developed strongly during the 1990s, increased immigrants’ opportunities and desire to interact more closely with the wider community.

My Robot Kitchen Student: Meichen Pan Barnini Bhowmick Junlong Shao

This project aims to illustrate what will happen in a domestic space in 2030. MyRobot kitchen explores robots in the kitchen as a domain for human-robot collaboration. The question to us not only includes how to arrange your kitchen utensils, placing pre-measured amounts of ingredients for receipts and cooking steps but also analysing how the actions that humans can undertake transfer to a robot arm.

The topic of my group is coffee making. Besides the pouring process of handmaking coffee, we thought to make the robot arm become a joker or comedian for our target user. So we spent a lot of time simulating the human’s actions. The result of the project is a series of grasshopper files and a scene that shows how a robot arm represents a funny barista.

Resonating with Dyslexia

The project is about increasing the awareness of dyslexia. Dyslexia affects the speed of reading and influences a child socially. The group with dyslexia usually suffers from low self-esteem because others can sometimes not understand their situation. So the product will simulate several scenes of what dyslexia see for others and help them know what the world looks like to dyslexia. For the family member, after using the product, they can share a similar feeling on reading with dyslexia. Education and support groups can contribute to designing a more appropriate way to help people with dyslexia.

This is my first AR project. In this project, I want to connect the virtual world to the natural environment, as I want to link the public to dyslexia. I carefully designed the physical marker and the digital interactive element.

Nemo’s coral reef adventure

this is one prototype of VR to encourage people to get closer to the great barrier reef. Inspired by the structure of coral, glass sponges, I made this prototype to draw closer with people and these creatures. This prototype will show how the marine invertebrates look like in the great barrier reef and provide an extraordinary experience interacting with corals and sponges as tropical fish. Through the modification of two scenes triggered by the Sorcerer’s Stone, users will see the ecology of the great barrier reef and be scaled to the size, which is able to see the microstructure of sponges and corals. After the VR tour of Nemo, the prototype will create an opportunity for the users to enrich their knowledge of marine invertebrates on smartphone and encourage them to protect and visit the great natural gift of Australia, the great barrier reef.
