INDUSTRIAL BUILDING SILHOUETTE

INSTRUCTOR:ELENA MARFERDINI COWORKER:CUNHAO LE SPRING 2015, SCI-ARC (UNFINISHED)

The project uses Bernd and Hilla Becher’s photographs of industrial Architecture as a point of departure.Over time, Such abandoned industrial buildings become clumsy out of scale volumes, able to genuinely display all their pragmatic anachronistic features. They become abstract diagrams of autonomous architectural postures.

INDUSTRIAL BUILDING LANGUAGE HATCHING

we use these catalogues of industrial building to jump start a discussion on the relationship between programmatic function and architectural language in the definition of a new contemporary type of agricultural building. Controversial issues of legibility vs functionalism are at the core of these explorations.

VARIABLE RESOLUTION INSTRUCTOR: MICHAEL CASEY REHM COWORKER: NASTARAN GHAIDAR FALL 2014, SCI-ARC The project of the studio is based on the collusion between objects and images in the production of architectural form. The vehicle for this is a library in Copenhagen, based on a competition organized by AWR. The project interrogate the potential of medium specific appearance-making in architecture, differentiating between realism as a representational mode, involving degrees of representational accuracy, and reality-that which is represented.

PHOTOGRAPH FROM SITE

The basic volume of our project was generated from the photos around the site in 3D coat. At that stage, we abstract the photos in photoshop, we outlined the potential architectural elements such as the facade of the surrounding building, the cloud, the texture on the ground and so on. Then we used the abstracted images to generate our building.

MODEL GENERATED IN 3-D COAT

To create an architectural mass that generates a sense of moving repetition, we manipulated the images to produce rhythmic articulations that was broken by a singular transparent form, giving the building a sense of balance and dichotomy.

VOXEL APLLYING 22

The color of the voxels were generated from the surrounding buildings’ bricks and the water. The blue and orange are complementary colors and oscillate uncomfortably as we move closer to the building. When we zoom away, we can see the distinct colors of the voxels that almost appear gray, reflecting the nearby water.

NINGBO-TOKYO MONOLITHICITY INSTRUCTOR: MARCELO SPINA COWORKER: JIASHU ZHANG,XIANGTAI SUN, YUNKE HE FALL 2014, SCI-ARC

26

In this project, we aim to theorize and generate alternative instantiations for the Tokyo Opera House, and in doing so suggest a new project.

The Tokyo Opera House will be understood as the ‘Host’. Then we consider the enigmatic representations available and reimagine them with contemporary technological and material means derived from other contemporary project, which for our project is Ningbo Museum designed by Wang Shu. 27

NINGBO MUSEUM(WANG SHU) FACADE AND DETAIL

CONSTRUCTION ANALYSIS

The outer wall decoration of Ningbo Museum is made in two ways. Some walls are decorated by millions of tiles collected in local areas. This sort of decoration itself was a common way of building an economical house in old days in Ningbo when cements are not introduced. Other walls are decorated with cement-covered bamboos.

SECTION MODEL

With the not so recent emergence of advanced digital tools and computation in architecture, the tendency towards monolithic form became nothing but pervasive. Propelled by new developments in composite materials, manufacturing technologies and aesthetic sensibilities, monolithicity became a formulaic attribute for contemporary visual representation. That is, the image of built form looked monolithic even if the form actually built did not.

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT INSTRUCTOR: ELENA MAFERDINI COWORKER: XIANGTAI SUN FALL 2014, SCI-ARC

The project closely analyzes examples of “camouflage” techniques: geometric abstract-pop art vs. biomorphic realistic expressionism. We focus on the tactical elements that enabled this body of work to create specific optical effects (rather than on their relative artistic contents or historical positioning) and unravel the underpinning strategies used in these two painterly approaches to trigger viewers’ simultaneous reading of a figure against its environment.

38

FINAL CANVAS

39

We use Zbrush alphas, processing codes, materials, Matcap, textures and add element of fantasy and fiction to the natural scanned elements. We modify their photorealistic object into a fantastic one in order to achieve the desired effect in their final landscapes.

We use as a point of departure for this exercise the site of an actual competition held in Seoul this summer: The Mapo Oil Depot. The site is valuable industrial legacy of Seoul but has been forgotten since its own purpose was terminated. The main objectives of this project are creating an “Open Park� and return this place to citizens with diverse programs such as performances, exhibitions, information and leisure utilizing the uniqueness of this site.

DIVING TOWER INSTRUCTOR: ZHANG SHANSHAN SOLO WORK FALL 2012, HIT This tower is a hotel with residenti-al use as well as diving training use.This design has two main focuses.The first focus is to create a special experience for tourists by dealing with the light and the eyesight,especially the light pass through the water.The second focus is to explore a special water-support structure.In the design,the water is the key point.

NATURE FORM GYMNASIUM INSTRUCTOR: LUO PENG COWORKER: JING CHENXI,WANG XUESONG, SONG CHAOYUE SPRING 2013, HIT

50

The topic of the project is to create a structure that based on nature form.We finally choose the jelly fish as our research object.The main focus of the design is to imitate the elegant and light feeling of jelly fish moving.The design combine three different structure systems-the steel arc,the steel cable and the membrane.The three systems work together well and are proved very stable by digital structure analysis.Its outlooking is like a jellyfish moving in the water.

In this design I intended to explore the relationship between architecture and nature.I made INSTRUCTOR:BU CHONG the museum a a simple platform for tourist to SOLO WORK appreciate the scenery.Most space of the muSPRING 2012, HIT seum is under ground,so I put several bricks to connect the platform and underground space.

The conncetion includes light ,circulation and activity.
