34 THE SEGUE
Oral History Library . Sydney, Australia Academic Work : Individual project, University of Sydney, Year 3, Semester 2, 2021 Instructor: Matthew Mindrup Project Type: Public building
- PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design concepts are inspired by the city Despina from Italo Calvino’s book, Invisible Cities. It is a city between the ocean and desert, he described the city as being perceived as a ship when approaching from the desert, and a camel when approaching from the sea. The aim of the project is to create a bridge between the land and water as a metaphor of oral history being the bridge between past and present. The site on the cockatoo island is a slipway that sits between land and water. The building consists of a timber frame structure and a series of opening precast concrete boxes sitting within the ‘frame’ space. The boxes transit from front to the rear, above to below as visitors get closer to the water, engaging the visitors with a series of rotated vessels with a haptic emphasis of light.

- ABOUT ORAL HISTORY LIBRARY An oral history library is a place that collects and preserves oral history, the collection consists primarily of audio tape-recorded, structured interviews in which interviewees talk about their lives or particular events and experiences in the past. Within an oral history library, there are various kinds of rooms, including Temporary and permanent exhibitions, a large auditorium, indoor and outdoor storytelling spots, small and large recording studios, library and listening spaces. Also, all these collections and facilities of the oral history library are open to the public.
- SITE ANALYSIS From the site analysis, some takeaway insights are that there are the pleasing sounds of waves and wind occurring from the west side of the slipway site, but unwanted noises from the east side which may need to install some sound berriors. The surrounding ground is exposed to the sun which may get very hot in the summer, which means there might need shadings at the entrances. Also, the project should really take advantage of the tide change happening there. 4

THE SEGUE | Concept Development - POSTCARDS The early design concepts are inspired by the city Despina from Italo Calvino’s book, Invisible Cities. It is a city between the ocean and desert, he described the city as being perceived as a ship when approaching from the desert, and a camel when approaching from the sea. The design concept is made into a collaged image for a postcard to describe the experience of space or function of the library.

1) CIRCULATION: Here is the postcard that inspired the circulation design, just like Despina can be approached from two sides, there can be two sets of staircases, one on the water side, the other on the land side. And two they confluence at the top.
IMMERSION !""#$# %! &'
This souvenir is inspired by the invisible city of Despina. It is composed of a metal spoon and a human figure. By moving the human figure back and fourth, different images are visible from the concave mirror of the spoon. It can seen as a segue from a space to another space with a distinct atmosphere.

3) FORM: The last postcard informs the overall form of the structure, describing the experience of segue. The visitors can smoothly transit from the land to the water, which introduces the concepts of opposition and flips from one end to the other.

Moment 3
The reflection of the human figure is virtual and erect when the background is within the focus point.
The reflection of the human figure can be seen as a threshold between two sides when the background board is at the focus point of the concave mirror.
The reflection of the human figure is real and inverted when the background board is beyond the focus point.

PASSIVE SPACES
- ORIENTATION DIAGRAM
-ROOM DISTRIBUTION DIAGRAM
- CIRCULATION DIAGRAM
Each of the vessels has a different orientation and these differences in orientation lead to various lighting effects. The vertical circulation consists of a set of outdoor stairs on the water side, and a set of outdoor ramps on the land side to accommodate people with wheelchairs. Also complements with some secondary indoor and outdoor circulations.
The room distribution can be divided into active spaces and passive spaces. As shown in the diagram, active spaces and passive spaces are mixed together and flipped around which reinforced the overall concept of opposition and flip.

The entrance elevation is what most visitors would see first. The transparent openings allow people to see what’s going on inside the building.
Canvas canopies block direct sunlight and provide softened natural sunlight into the permanent exhibition through the skylight.
Canvas vertical fins and canopies are used to block direct sunlight and reduce solar heat gain in the building wile introducing an organic form to neutralist the rigid grid form.

34 THE HANGING ROCK Cliff Lookout . Blue mountain, Australia
Academic Work: Group project, University of Sydney, Year 3, Semester 1, 2021 Instructor: Xinyi Wang Project Type: Installation & Structure Collaborator: Charlotte Huang Contribution: 80% ideas + 80% digital modeling + 60% representation
- PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project brief is developing a design proposal for a lookout tower with a restricted dimension of 4mx4mx12m in a self-selected site. The chosen site for the project is Evans lookout located in Blue Mountain, Australia. This site offers a spectacular views and a great hike through Grand Canyon track, cliff tops, rain forest, creeks and waterfalls. The design of the form is inspired by a naturally formed rock nearby the site which is hanging out a cliff towards the valley. It make the structure an extension of the landscape instead of building on it. The major structure is suspended in the air supported compression by steel posts extended from the cliff face and tension by steel cables connect to the top of a structural wall on the platform. This structure technology enables the visitors to touch the cliff face when they going down the stair and get to experience a different view at the glass lookout. 12

The design is inspired by the hanging rock, it applied the method of Bio-mimicry which learn from and mimics the design strategies found in nature to solve design challenges identified from the site analysis, such as the constraints of the soil condition and wind. Moreover, the organic form generated from natural elements makes the structure part of the landscape. 13

T THE STINGS THROUGH THE CLOUDS Cliff Village Redesign . Sichuan, China
Competition Work: Group project, UIA-HYP Cup International Student Competition, 2021 Instructor: N/A Project Type: Rural Planning Collaborator: Lingjie Gan, Qingyang Liu, Bohao Zhao Contribution: 30% ideas + 30% digital modeling + 40% representation
- PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design of ‘The Strings through the Clouds’ ideates a proposal of ‘same complex living lifestyle’, which suggests one complex for dining, entertainment and relaxation in the fields of commercial home-stay, public space and residential. In this proposal, Atulie’ercun, also known as ‘the cliff village’, will transform into ‘outposts’. Villages of high altitude can be interconnected complexes, connecting to other villages via cable-ways, visualised as strings in the clouds. This architectural proposition can form an imaginative mode for villages of high altitudes, or those that suffered in poverty due to geographic disadvantages. Villagers who lagged from the rapid footprints of urbanisation can enjoy the convenience brought by cable-ways in fields of transportation, access to infrastructure and commercial incentives.

- HISTORICAL EVOLUTION TIMELINE
- DESIGN CHALLENGES WITHIN CLIFF VILLAGE
- DESIGN GENERATION DIAGRAM
The alterations of existing residential dwellings in Atulie’ercun aims to resolve the problems of living in the Liangshan area, which includes the discon nection between farming and animal husbandry production, conflicts between modern lifestyle and traditional customs, deprived rights of villag ers and labor, and limited living space for human ergonomics.
THE CLIFF VILLAGE - NOW
º
THE CLIFF VILLAGE- AFTER
To resolve the above problems, we propose a new village dwelling style that adopts divergent layouts and drawing connections between building and farming fields. The cable-ways threading on the cliffs carry people to the second sector, the concentration of public infrastructures. This sector offers a wide range of services that were difficult to be accessed by villagers prior, including medical infrastructure and entertainment facilities.
