SEMBLANCES Design Studio
Instructor : Herwig Baumgartner Team : Peter Chu
This studio will interrogate the potential of new forms of digital perception in architecture. The studio will exploit contemporary methods of measuring and analyzing 3D form and space in conjunction with human and computational forms of design production to identify how this transforms our understanding of the relationship between context and architecture. The technology behind data collection allows for the production of overwhelming quantities of information which need to be interpreted and structured. How can we rethink our relationship as designers to these methods to allow for new possibilities in architectural production. Our focus is on the aesthetic dimension of architecture and the possible production of new modes of being in the world. If, as argued above, the shift in modes of reproduction accompanies transformations in the architectural invention, a contemporary approach to architecture would be affiliated to modes of imaging that dislocate the subjectivity of single point perspective, such as machine vision. As a starting point we will work on producing a composite form of selected source material derived from the site context that redefines the formal relationships inherent in selected elements and shifts these toward an architectural scale.

The Gestural Line Exercise 1 The first exercise requires the generation and design of lines through gestural animation. You will create a series of lines in space and then redesign their relationships and qualities. The initial digital models will engage two different techniques. The first model will be the result of a set of designed lines in Maya and the second model, the generation of lines in Virtual Reality, using Oculus Medium. Both models will use an imaginary bounding area. The project will develop by evaluating and modifying the quality of the model in both digital and physical form. We will review modes of drawing and modeling in threedimensional space, including the importance of precision and abstraction. The character of the final model will be designed and built by every team. You will be expected to develop expertise and execute your intentions with clarity.

How design can guide technology development. This is the first time in the modern history of technology has the architect or designer, been a more critical part of technology’s future. In this essay, I want to focus very little on architecture but to focus a little bit around on a company that I believe that will create an invention of technology in this century “Tesla”. First, I want to discuss how designer use software as a tool for design, which has been significantly developed by technology, right now designer interacts with computers in a very unnatural sort of 2d way and trying to create these 3d objects using a variety of 2d tools. And if this it doesn’t feel natural doesn’t feel normal the way people should do things, So Tesla started playing around with the idea and using a few of things that are available out there such as the leap motion, VR and AR, which it was used as a game engine before. Moving next to Tesla, How can electric car company have enough fund to research rocket technology like Space X and renewable energy like Solar City. By examining and comparing the idea from one man who behind all of the creation “Elon Musk”. The goal of Tesla electric car has always been to have a sort of three-step process, where version one was an expensive car at low volume, version two is medium priced, and medium volume, and then version three would be low price, high volume. And right now Tesla now in step 2 at the time. In the beginning, Tesla had a 100,000 dollars sports car, which was the Roadster. Then they have got the Model S, which starts at around 50,000 dollars.And their third generation car, which should hopefully be out in about three or four years will be a 30,000 dollars car. According to Elon Musk “whenever you’ve got really new technology, it generally takes about three major versions in order to make it a compelling mass-market product.”
As a designer, we should be aware of everything that’s going on all the trends that are happening how those trends might impact the society and how a designer can adapt the work that we do to influent and creating a possible future. Tesla has been focusing on visualisation resources thinking forecasting future vision on sustainable energy and mar colonise. Tesla quite confident that the primary means of power generation will be solar. This gigantic fusion generator in the sky called the Sun. And we just need to tap a little bit of that energy for purposes of human civilization most people know but don’t realise. Everyone knows that the world is always entirely solar powered already if the Sun wasn’t there would be a frozen ice ball at 3 degrees Kelvin. And the Sun powers the entire system of precipitation the whole ecosystem is solar-powered, but in the gallon of gasoline, it comes from efficiently thousands of years of Sun power compressed into a small particle. Solar industry today is a 40 billion dollar a year market producing 20 gigawatts of power. Unfortunately, that’s less than 1/10 of 1% of the energy that American people demand. Even though by now, people probably all seen Tesla solar panels gracing the rooftops of nearby homes. These clean energy alternatives convert sunlight into electricity that can be used to power electronics device. However, hindrances like the atmosphere and nighttime have led Tesla design team to ask the question: “What if we put solar panels in space?” But before we get into that, let’s talk about Solar technology. Put solar panels either on the ground or on rooftops where every night it gets dark, And it waits for the Sun to rise and harness whatever energy they can before the Sun sets. Some of the incoming radiation from the Sun is reflected back into space by the clouds, atmospheric particles, or bright
32
surfaces on the ground. And even more, is absorbed in the atmosphere by things like water vapour and ozone. Not only do earth have the day and night cycle which guarantees intermittency but what about clouds and weather and different variants on gradients of latitude. But what if there was a way that people can actually harness the power of the Sun 24 hours a day and be able to capture that and use it in a way that provided the holy grail of renewable energy base on solar power. In the near future, Space X design team aim to collect energy from outer space, by taking solar panels and putting them into a geosynchronous orbit about 35,000 kilometres above the Earth where its orbital period matches Earth’s rotational period. And the solar satellites that may potentially go here are pretty wacky looking. And now Tesla has the technology to be able to convert that electricity into a transferable microwave frequency beam it back down to earth. With pinpoint accuracy safely and reliably to create constant energy generated by the Sun 24 hours a day. In contrast lot of people question has always been asked of space-based solar power can it really be done and if so how?. The questions now really have been centring on when will it be done and who to be first? Wireless power transmission has been the subject of investigation since Nikola Tesla’s experiments in 19th century. Tesla famously began building a 57-meter tower on New York’s Long Island, hoping to use it to beam power to such targets as moving airships, but his funding was cancelled before he could complete his dream. According to Tesla and NASA, back in 1968 a renowned scientist Peter glacier first proposed the concept in the 70s. He did some studies and tests to verify that the physics of wireless power transmission worked. More studies
were done in the 80s, and then a fresh look in the 90s all through the same conclusion is yes, Space solar power is technically feasible. The challenge has never been the technology the challenge has always been economics, But it could become a reality in the not so distant future due to Space X a subsidiary of Tesla company a which make an investment in a rocket technology, and the cost of launching cargo into space comes way down. Looking at the most creative country in the world Japan, Japan has taken one more step ahead of anyone by studies this potential source of renewable energy in the future. The reason for this might be the disaster at Fukushima, has lead to them to aware more of dirty fuels. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), added further weight to the notion of a space-based solar power. The agency is planning a roadmap involving a 1 Gigawatt solar farm in space and sent it back by microwave beam on a man-made island in the Tokyo harbour, which could be used collect and convert energy from space and supply power to Earth by 2040. How SolarCity raises their fund. The answer is having Google as huge partnership. By help them install a solar panel on their power plant. SolarCity purchases and installs the panel on the roof and then charges the homeowner or business owner a monthly lease payment, which is less than the utility bill. And the Owner gets a long-term commercial benefit from that power. It like a kind of building a new type of distributed utility. And I think it’s a good thing, because utilities have been this monopoly, and people haven’t had any choice. So this it’s the first time there’s been competition for this monopoly, because the utilities have been the only ones that owned those power distribution lines, but now it’s on your roof.

Reference image from : 5 Insane Elon Musk Quotes About The Futuristic World He Thinks Technology Will Bring Us.
A private Space company. The first things I think about this is why on earth would someone do that?. Before 2008 Space X came very close to failure, but they managed to get through that point. The goal of SpaceX is to try to advance rocket technology, and in particular to try to crack a problem that I think is vital for humanity to become a space-faring civilization. Which is to have a rapidly and fully reusable rocket. How can humanity become a space-faring civilization and how can architect take part in this? It was really more from the standpoint of what are the things that need to happen in order for the future to be an exciting and inspiring one? According to Elon Musk, he think that “there’s a fundamental difference, if you sort of look into the future, between a humanity that is a space-faring civilization, that’s out there exploring the stars, on multiple planets, and I think that’s really exciting, compared
with one where we are forever confined to Earth until some eventual extinction event.” quote from the book called “5 Insane Elon Musk Quotes About The Futuristic World He Thinks Technology Will Bring Us”. By studies on their research, they’ve made significant advances in the spacecraft technology of the airframe, the engines, the electronics and the launch operation. Space X cannot be patent on this because their primary competitors are national governments, the enforceability of patents is questionable. The thing about rockets is that they all are expendable. All rockets that fly today are super expendable. The space shuttle was an attempt to be a reusable rocket, but even the main tank of the space shuttle, it was thrown away every time, and the parts that were reusable took 10,000 peoples and nine months to refurbish for flight. So the space shuttle ended up costing a billion dollars per flight. Then Space X design team came up with the solution of
34
JAE Environments Volume 71 Issue 2 October 2017 Page 192
how to design a rocket that can be able to come back, and be able to return to the launch site and prepare to launch again within a matter of hours. By the way there still lot of improvement that has to be done before achieving this goal, may be after couple years before 2020 we might an effectively reuse rocket as another way of transportation and to become a space-faring civilization. As an architect and designer we always dream of designing an architecture to take humanity to Mars at scale. For example, Guidice’s painting are closer to those in another urban design reference, “Compact City: A Plan for a Liveable Urban Environment (1973), by George B. Dantzig and Thomas L. Saaty. This book described a scheme for a new Earthbound city with in 250,000 residence, in the shape of giant ring, with stacks of terraced housing and office around and inside it. The drawing in Compact City,
by architect John Lange, show landscaped interiors with plants growing under artificial light. These has linked the impulse behind the design if these habitats, especially as promoted by Stewart Brand, to broader notion of the frontier. In his book, From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism (2006). And the very iconic work from Don Davis. :” Construction along the Standford Torus Rim, 1975. And: “Stanford Torus Cutaway view, Rick Guidice for NASA, 1975. In Conclusion, I’ve learned from the very innovative company that great design always solves problem. But to be a professional designer, we have to know more than how to design a good building. But we have to gain an ability to think at a system level of design that pulls together design, technology and business into one package, synthesize it in your own way, test it and if you fail, test it again,

Advanced Materials and Tectonics AS 32000
Fall 2017 ( 2GAX ): Instructor: Maxi Spina Team : Peter Yun Chu, Weitse Yuan, Sandy Lao
The class paired areas of investigation and speculation are Tectonics predominantly building envelopes and performance largely consisting of technical, technological, cultural and environmental dimensions. Working in groups throughout the entire semester, the student analyzes and document a precedent in order to formulate a series of hypotheses in an attempt to construct a number of interrelated tectonic conjectures. In scrutinizing building assemblies, the class will attempt to positionconstruction analysis so as to produce both technical knowledge and critical awareness of embedded cultural habits. The class will thus seek out an alternative understanding of the tectonic one that not only mirrors the realm of construction materials, methods, sequences, tolerances, etc. But also embrace architectural processes of expression, encompassing issues of geometry and technique; posture and character; etc.

The Silo Design Transformation. This design transformation aimed at exploring approaches for heat gain reduction and shading through facade design, The study used digital simulation from Ladybug to analyze radiation analysis and shadow studies which take place in Los Angeles, California. Testing took place from June to December 2017. The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of thermal transformation and orientation from Original Building “The Silo� which located in Nordhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark. According to the climate in Nordhavn, the external screen shading for this building has to be resistant to the sea breeze and salty moisture from entering a building. Stainless steel is the best material solution for this context. But the problem is the Climate in L.A. is hot and dry almost entire year. So our study was compared three different shading strategies to determine its effect on thermal mass in the building. The First type is to increase the angle of cladding material to reflect more sunlight. The second is adding more upper shading, and third is rotate the entire shading. In summary, the results of the study showed that adding more shading in the west and south sides of the building are very effective to reduce UV light. And the study also found that another way to reduce heat mass during the night from a concrete wall is to constructing two layers of exterior wall with space in the middle and changing the window glass from clear to 6 mm-thick green tinted heat absorbing glass might be the best way to save investment cost.

The main facade of the building is facing the east and west side, and these two side is not shading by the building around. The south side of the building get the most sunlight, but it is the narrowest side of the building to receive the sunlight.
Based on the climate data in Copenhagen, The Average Temperature of the year is 8.5. Therefore, the building prefers to prevent the heat going outside, instead of cooling down the interior. This building utilizes the triple-layer glass to prevent the heat leak to the outside. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the construction fee, this building can use the triple-layer glass at the west side, double-layer glass on the east and south side and single-layer glass on the north side which do not face any wind.
