Risen Art Laborer -Housing for Art Laborers

HKU 2015 Spring ARCH3046 Architectural Design 5 Location: ShenZhen, China Program: Housing Instructor: Tao Zhu Individual To rise the art laborers in Dafen village both in life quality and social status. To solve the conflict between increasing paintings demand and poor living environment of the labors. To mediated between generic tower and new vertical street tower.

Fake Painting Industry Dafen village is famous for its fake painting industry in China. Located in Shenzhen, it enjoys good transportation resource and labor resource. In 2005, the sales volume of paintings in Dafen village has reached 0.2 million. In 2015, the amount has surpassed 6.9 million. The paintings are sold in a rather cheap price to the hotel, restaurant all over the world. Meanwhile, the status of the artists there is low and so are their living condition. Most of the buildings are three-storeys high and ten people living in one room is quite a common phenomenon there. To meet the need of the fast development of Dafen village, high-rise buildings are going to be built. How to maintain the low-rise living style and habit in highrise building is what this project is going to discuss. At Dafen Village, painters taking their afternoon nap in the 12th corridor on the 3rd floor. Overlooked by the determined eyes of Van Gogh portrays. (Photo taken by Haibo Yu)

The painters in Dafen village occupy the narrow streets between bungalows to do their paintings. The different scale of street accommodated different activities. The exhibition, production, selling, sometimes living all happened in the street. The project is trying to maintain the horizontal living style for the art laborers in Dafen village. Considering the future development of Dafen village, more high-rise building is going to be built, the proposal suggest a new highrise building prototype. The new prototype allows all living and working activities happen in one building, the street is a place for painting, selling, and exhibiting. The street also invite public into the building.

Urban Bridge The tower elongate the Dafen museum and transform the horizontal gallery into vertical gallery, as a way of both attracting people up and maintain the exhibition flow. The tower on the other hand connects long bar shaped market to create a bridge between so called “fake“art and “real“ art. The building hopes to allow for dialogue between different kind of art.

To Merge The models explore the ontology of the building itself. The building is bridging the Dafen Museum and fake painting market, the building merged together to connect and to create a vertical high rise building. The building itself composed of a generic tower and a new street studio tower. The project discuss how the two buildings can merge together in the aspects of program, structure, facade, floor slab, and space.

Generic v.s. Street life The circulation is used as open studio and a place for showing and selling. Artists live inside the building and work in semi-public space or open street, for the buyers to appreciate the paintings and also their daily life. In this way, the paintings have more layers of information for the buyers. The paintings are not seen as pure labor work, but art. The architecture creates a tension between vivid street life and a common generic tower.

Kanchanjunga apartment, Charles Carreo, India

Rethinking Public Space The project beings with the analysis of Kanchanjunga apartment by Charles Carreo. The study discussed the building in the realm of construction and tectonic. The space and the program arrangement is carefully analyzed. The design tried to learn from and critic this building to make it better fit Hong Kong. The design is also a housing project.

Housing Synthesis

Study model of Kanchanjunga apartment, 1:100

The design learns from Kanchanjunga apartment to make the whole building a synthesis. Different elements in the building, circulation, unit, public program, core, structure, facade all function interrelated with each other. One change of factor often result in the others changing because of the bounding of different elements.

-Massing Strategy

-Circulation & Public space

Dissolving the Solid

Inserting Public Space Public program as joints of compounds and each compound has equal accessibility to the public program. The circulation connects all the public programs together. Public program is defined as knot or pausing moment of the circulation as the program merges into the linear circulation. How circulation penetrate through the public program is decided by the public program’s publicity.

As a critic of building typology in Hong Kong, the project propose to exteriorize the interior service core (circulation space), to save the humid and dark space and provide new communal space for people living in Hong Kong. The models discover the massing strategy.

Diverse Units

Circulation as Brace The main structure of the building is two cores and two load-bearing walls. Circulation space can also act as “tie beam” of the building. The “u” shape cross section ensures stable structure performance. The beam is supported by load-bearing wall and core, while providing support for the u-shape circulation at the same time.

For unit type, instead of using the whole flat as basic unit, the room is used as basic module. The grid system create different scale of rooms which can accommodate different programs. Because of the shape of circulation, pitched-roof space is generated and it is a double height living room.

Synthesis The building system is ultimately a coherent design, when everything comes together. The three factor(circulation, public program, unit type) is tightly correlated with each other. The location of circulation decide the type of public program, and the area ratio of the unit space while it influenced by the corresponding facade. The public program decide the shape of the unit and ultimately the facade of the building itself. The circulation space also serves as tie beam for the stability of the structure to take vertical and lateral load. The circulation, public program, unit, structure, facade and service core is interrelated with each other and altogether form a synthesis design proposal.

To Compose The building’s solid and void relationship within its urban context(river, road, market, warehouse...) is explored. The left space is tested to have the most proper usage for the children and the students of the center. Based on the merit of different geometry, the geometry carries the program. The layout of the geometry ensures proper circulation and program arrangement so that the building can function well within itself.

The guard needs to see the criminal all the time, the criminal should not notice the guard or being aware of him being watched. The architecture is about view. During investigation, the regular view for human being is 45 degree right and left, 45 degree down and 30 degree up. Based on the understanding of human habit, how the height, angle, openings, material, wall thickness, circulation pattern and light can influence the interrelationship of the criminal and his guard is explored.

The Overwatch Based on the discovery and exploration of the factors influencing human’s view, the corresponding space is engendered for the purpose of watching and being watched. The moment of these actual space tells the story between the criminal and his guard, being represented in the models as well.

Aperture

Model, 1:100

The aperture of the architecture release light into itself. The aperture is not only a window, but a way of seeing and being seen. Criminals are constantly need to be seen by his guard, whereas the guard need to hide himself from the criminal’s view. The aperture gives tension to the two people and effectively mediate the conflicts between them. The aperture also let the outside view in for the criminal and the guard. Small apertures creates a sense of mystery and security for the people living inside. The architecture tries to create a warm environment for the criminal, not the cold steel bars and dark cell.

Light Chimney The light chimney introduces light into enclosed cell of the prison. The celestial light comes from the sky lights up the cells as salvation for the prisoners. The prisoners are not only watched by guards, but also by god.

House in Corner The project looked into architecture from its tiny element-its corner. The study try to discuss corner formally, programlly, functionally, two dimensionally and three dimensionally. The corner actually covers most of the topics in architecture: lighting, function, material. The house itself is an open corner confronting with the existing surrounding house.

Spatial Corner In architecture, corner is a forgotten element. The project looked into architecture from its tiny element-its corner. The study tries to discuss corner formally, programmaticly, functionally, two dimensionally and three dimensionally. The corner actually covers most of the topics in architecture: lighting, function, material. The transformation of two dimensional corner to three dimensional corner allows the corner inside the building to take up different function according to the human scale and spacial experience. Corner can be a place for people to lie down, to sit, to hide, to read, to cook. The corner is also an aperture to let nature in. It frame the view of the outside light. There’s much more to be discussed about corner. The tiny element in architecture is a small miniature of whole architecture. The discussing and study of the corner reveals itself not only a jointing element in architecture, but also space.

Circulation of Play

Based on the conception, the following process tries to design the sequence of human experience. Different types of circulation are designed by modules to allow them to be composed freely. A circulative routine is designed inside this maze of play. In the maze, to move is not simply working, but fully body interaction with the environment.

Dance of Bricks The project is trying to use bricks to capture the motion of “Chaine� in ballet. The circle arrangement of brick is a imitation of the spin in ballet, and the bricks shift gradually to make the gentle and elegant motion of Chaine.

Interaction with Children The brick oval is pushed back and forward, creating circulative and different levels on the top. The form gives the installation sense of movement. The concept model is constructed on site with local workers. We lay cement and bricks in person. The result is satisfactory. Children start to occupy the leaning occupy in different ways out of our expectation.
