The wood frame structure mimics the vertical spatial experience of a Japanese larch forest from which food is hung to grow and dry. A tea platform in the middle of the nest creates a gathering space where the community can visually and physically enjoy food around a sunken fireplace.

Floatiness
The organisation of materials and structure to create a sensitivity of lightness.

Conceptual Model 1:10 Wood Joint
Drawings of wood joint combination from inner to outer 18
Using the saw to make the core jointing in the village The conceptual model is simplified into 4 core colums from the original 9 columns. 19

By the process of making the model, I get to know more about how the joints transform from the inner core to the outside, and how the structure hows a building with light spatial quality that the space created is all free and treansparent as it is use as a public space for the community.

Nippon Paint Project Inter Tree From the inspiration of Kengo Kuma's project, I try to further development a spatial project by making a villager social community with an opened interior space, with also wood column structure and irregular free space.

Use of Space

Inspired from the shape of tree from the nature that performs a natural shelter for people. The pillars are developed from a sequence to unequal alighment in order to provide a more variable space. The structure is formed by a cube, with a stairs base surrounded and an irregular divded interior, each floors are also in irregular alighment in order to create a more opened and variable area. The structure also focused on making the building to become floatiness, from light to heavy, the cube is looking to hang in the air. 31

Testing of Frame Structure After the Nippon Paint, I would like to further develop the frame structure and the interior space, which makes the space looks free and dynamic in a rigid and strong structure..

4x4 Grid The regular cube formed by 4x4 structural and using cotton strings to highlight the space. The transparency of the strings can varied by covering layers of strings to create overlapping. The space is irregular and free.

Testing Model of Frame Structure After testing of the frame structure, this model is made by selecting and combined 5 facades of frame.

Testing of Program and Spatial Model 1 After few testing of the frame structure, few of them are chosen and insert program in order to extend to a three-dimensional space from a two-dimensional pattern.

Testing of Program and Spatial Model 2 After the test of one facade on the arrangement of space, this testing is try to extend and support the rooms or panels by adding extra irregular columns around the room.

Testing of adding Panels and levels

Testing of Enclosure

Using the transparent mock up materials to indicates the lightness and transparency. And cover up walls for the panels, but without whole enclosure to provide a more dynamic and free space.

Final Design

Testing Model In order to make the cube more dynamic, columns in each facades become more fragments instead of forming a regular cube, to support each room.
53
Structural Frame According to the fragments stick testing models made before, build up a rigid structure that can support the panels with space.

After this semester, I get to know more about materials because we used a lot of real materials on making mock up models, which is good to practice on utilizing its characteristics. In this project is still an incomplete project, with a finished facade of frames but without the enough quality and presentation of the interior space. But the experience is interesting to have a more systematic way on testing and thinking, which I used to be more random in testing about the spatial arrangement. If the time is more enough and well-planned, I would explore more about the spatial quality on people experience, in this stage I did some program planning and frame structure testing about human dimensions, but its not enough to relate the spatial experience much.
