/TATE RIVER
[ *The floating island carrying art and artists around the Tate network.
[ With a global issue of sea level rising, London would have huge impact since most of them are low lying land near the thames river, meanwhile museums are have been evolving to increase display capacity and harmonic to the trendy theme. Tate River is a sustainable new model of museum in the period of sea rising and the art would become a part of the dominant nature.This museum up-cycles the existing Tate portfolio, creating a new exhibition space that the Tate never had before; public sculpture park. This natural landscape will reframe Tate collections in the nature as the backdrop for sculptures on the changing background and surrounding water of the Thames. Eventually the museum takes art out of the capital city, and travel around the whole country, circulating cultures out of the concentrated, densed urban to suburb, balancing, articulating and expanding territory of museum on water.

/PLINTH ZONE
Sculptures are displayed in the following landscapes that are consisted with constant architectural language. In the back of the boat is a landform, which gived a plinth to display art on its roof. The central section of the barge deck has a landscape of pavers and planters and display which becomes a different backdrops for art. Hedges could be a canvas for the sculpture can be illustrated. And towards the front of the boat, is an orchard which it has trees that can frame the artwork. The sculpture can be portrayed onto the walls of the trees.

Sculptures and natures formed on the barge are integrated as a one whole. The mobility of the Tate River allows to carry, expand art collection further without limitation on the land and away from the rising sea hazard. It is a continous land piece when docked, however during travel, it becomes an independent landscape. Instead of bringing out the concentration towards the sculpture by using flat and plane backdrop, the nature is somehow dominant however it completely changes the atmosphere of the display. Hedges could be a canvas for the sculpture can be illustrated.

/COMMUNAL AREA
The existing barge is up-cycled into a floating island. Powers and landforms are integrated into the barge. The land is consisted of 600mm soil, and they are supported by columns on the lower deck level. When Tate River is statically docked to the pier, blue access is opened to the public. During its travel, artists are able to use workspace/ archieve with residences on yellow.

/SLIDING INTO DOMESTICITY
[ *The Proposal accelerates the transformation of interior domestic space via slidings and attempts to respond to the needs of a growing population
[ SLIDING INTO DOMESTICITY opens up a world of spatial and social possibilities. It is purposefully located between Somers Town and King's Cross. Domesticity is commonly defined as a financial investment that results in a competitive real estate market hence the definition of home has been deformed. The proposal is to create a layered dwelling typology that is permeable between internal and outdoor spaces. Because the layers are visible from the outside, they play an important function in bond development by showing internal domestic variety to bring vitality on the site. The city tends to the house, and the city becomes a home; they share rooms, spaces, times, and atmospheres.

/SITE ANALYSIS
/URBAN WALL IDENTIFICATION The project lays on the St Pancras International station since it is identified as a thick urban wall. The station behaves as a physical border to separate Somers Town and King's Cross. Somers is very residential but King's cross is a up and coming technology/ business district. As the city itself is a home, the contrast between 2 zones evoke the harsh division between private and public.
The station's presence as a dense urban barrier obstructed social and cultural communication. The megastructure dominated the overall connection between the two zones, and infrastructure began to interfere with human scale. However, by providing a domestic atmosphere on the site, we will be able to connect King's Cross and Somers Town fluidly and visually, dismantling urban walls and animating the dwelling typology, going beyond a robust concrete structure.
There are accesses to travel between, yet the infrastructure of the urban wall is very rigid. The passage is not friendly for locals and visitors but engaging to vehicle and exclusive users for the station.

/STRUCTURE
CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) shear walls hold lateral forces from slabs as structural walls where shafts are embedded. This allows the interior of wood to stay cool and retain its load bearing capacity. This insulating capacity of wood also keeps concealed steel connections from heating where the structural walls are used for kitchen and toilet which commonly won't be moved.
Precast concrete slabs are slotted into H beams as a modular unit since there are three repetitive floor slab formations. It can reduce speed of construction due to easy installation and have great flexibility in design.
Extending the basement floor concrete reinforced cast iron columns to support
Waffle concrete slab helps to avoid many columns interfering with the railway platform space below. It has good vibration control c a p a c i t y w h e re t h e s t r u c t u re i s bu i l t o n t o p o f t h e s t a t i o n .
Ceiling acoustic installation absorbs noise from the below; station and public bridge.
T h e w a f f l e c o n c re t e s la b h a s greater load capacity than common one way slabs. Bigger spans can be achieved with less material, being more sustainable which result in suitable for covering in total of 2600 square meter roof area of the station.

/STRUCTURE /STRUCTURE The exposed infrastructure and facades are constructed of reinforced concrete and steel panels to complement the station's material language. Each structural wall is constructed entirely of Cross Laminated Timber and glulam beams to infuse spatiality with more vitality, both inside and out. They are connected to the steel beam embedded concrete floor slabs via an internal/concealed metal plate connection system.

ventillation
The skip-stop corridor system allows air to enter and exit the unit on both ends. It constantly changes the air inside a building by varying the pressure. This is a wind-driven effect where air is drawn into the building on the high pressure side and pushed out on the low pressure side. The circulation lowers the building's temperature.

shading
Each unit's eaves control the amount of light entering. During the winter, the low altitude of the sun allows enough natural light into the unit. In the summer, its high altitude illuminates the house but blocks direct sunlight.

/BEHAVIOUR OF SLIDING To remodel the entire typology in living, I gave distinct behaviors to each type of wall, including sliding. Sliding walls are aimed at three specific scales: double-height, horizontal, and intermediate gesture.

*1
The slides are often intepreted as temporal, unstable element but from the technical view towards my project, the sliding system I produced is more a proper tectonics that can inhabit domesticity in the current rapidly changing era. The changing typology when you are bored with your current life style, inviting friends, having sleep over,and wanting for larger room, or, having a family, social interactions with neighbours, creating multinuclei dwelling in a single storey can be achieved with my proposal. The heaviest, but most difficult to operate, this sliding divider is made of acoustic and thermal insulation. Because it reshapes between units, thickness and weight represent a negotiable border for temporal or permanent openings for neighborly collective activity.

It is a unit-wide sliding that is operable but less flexible than the transparent sliding. It is heavier, thicker, and has a greater impact on reshaping the house, inducing negotiation. Unlike the heavy sliding, opaque fa b r i c i n w a r m t o n e s c a n b e moved daily, while also masking the opaque wall by pushing it vertically, allowing for vertical home interaction.

For use in openings, the sliding has the lightest weight and thinnest structure. Transparency aids in projecting outside activity, such as Shoji sliding. The previous resize softened the crisp boundary.
House is frequently regarded as an investment, a room with a bed; yet, it is a house in which the user must feel at ease. It should not be carrying out its predetermined function when at home. The various sliding elements aid the reaction when the user and the home's spatiality interact, the mass potentiality must be brought to the surface directly.

/SPATIAL LAYOUT CATALOG The slide extends outward from the unit center that I specified. Within a single residential unit, sliding system emphasizes daily activities as well as the expansion and contraction of the space split by permanent and sliding walls. New unit types are being developed to fulfill the needs of a diverse range of households.

The house does not take harsh division to identify the activities. Through reshaping the internal relationship, you can enhance quiet space even more quiet, or dark space to brighter. The activities occur in each different sensation.

Rooms are not divided its purpose by its function. They can be evaluated by the sensation of individuals preference, or the specific spatiality that is provided by the architecture.

[ *An arboretum for Wild Himalayan Pear Tree situated in Bedford Square, London, United Kingdom
[ Taking into consideration of the sustainability of the integrated design, together with the definition of a strong structural and technical strategy were focused in the project. Through research about inhabitating the specific plant into the climate in Bedford Square, I found what is necessary for the arboretum to provide environment for the tree. On this project, I participated in structural design and modelling, Carbon calculation and render images.

/SHELL DETAILS The design strategy aimed for efficiency and sustainability. My focus on timber and ETFE structures ensured our design was directly recyclable. The main goal was to maximize program space for the arboretum while minimizing material use.
The arboretum's structure is a zero Gaussian curvature cantilever gridshell made from FSC timber. The top layer of beams supports the metal structure which holds the ETFE envelope. Small metal joints permit optimal stability where the beams meet.
We met our parameters while learning the importance of structure flexibility and deflection when exposed to environmental loads like snow and rain. The grid shell skeleton and its inclined columns carry all vertical loads to the ground.
The structure has two stability systems: bracing in the long section and a cantilever vault in the cross section. The grid shell's parallelogram shape prevented the need for internal supports. It supported the long section where the structure would have been weak and vulnerable to horizontal wind loads.
The aim is to make the system as carbon neutral as possible through careful design integration. The cantilever grid shell structure enables us with a minimum amount of material a maximum amount of surface area for the programs and arboretum. Furthermore by nature, a shell is a very efficient way of diverting forces to support the structure, called shell action.
The foundation spread between the two ends of the structure; anchored on one side to the inclined columns and on the other to the gridshell. This kind of foundation exploits opposing force, in fact they result in tension to keep the structure in compression.

/BEYOND REALISM
[ *Going beyond the limit, time, technique and accuracy
[ I had a thought that, if I can’t avoid to be less precised and more expressive, maybe going for beyond the accuracy androughness on the top would be nice. The “Beyond accuracy” can be defined in many aspects. It could be how much the use of the lines are clear, precised measurements, and technical drawing but somehow illustrative. By combining the idea of precision and roughness, the intention of my independent study would be contradiction. Raw but accurate/ neat.

/DEFINING REALISM I have been focusing on how accurate the drawing is, but throughtout this sessions, I learned that accuracry is not everything. The rhythms of each marks made affects the whole atmosphere of the drawing. Those marks create texture on the white plane, proportion and composition in the rectangular frame matters in order to make the audience to focus. Tone, light / dark quality is the most essential element to show on the drawing and which defines the general quality of itself. I wanted to break the perception of the drawing of my own. By going beyond the accuracy, I hope my drawing one day could achieve a certain level to express myself and the story that I want to share in expression I use.

59
<DANCING CUBE
Suspended aluminium frames covered with precast concrete cladding vibrates as the structure absorbs any natural force. The concrete floor is attached to the diagonal circulating frames, hence visitors would experience the vibration of the cube frame as larger and slower movement due to the scale difference between the structure and human.
60
<DANCING CUBE
The movement of cubes are translated from sensation given by street performers. The surrounding's atmosphere shifts depends on the performance. It has power to dominate and decide sensation at the space. With a same methodology, dominant power of nature drives the wireropes and frames to move and be obserable by the visitors.
