FROM 5000 BRICKS TO 5000 THINGS 2018-2019 Royal College of Art ADS 9 Studio Design Location : Contemporary Chinese city Size: 25m *25m and 60m tall tower Type: Residential+Working

If we have so many objects in our life, can we imagine an architecture constructed purely through objects? The Project is a tower of objects for single occupants with multiple professions – the “slash youth”. Domestic facilities are condensed into minimal overlapping frames, the architecture enables residents to accumulate their daily objects to build up privacy, relationships with neighbours, and construct their lifestyles.


ABSTRACT The proposal is a 20 storeys tower for 200 slash youths to live and work. Conventional wall, ceilings were replaced by the metal frame structure which allow residents to fill up their room with their own objects and hardware that cannot be replaced by the objects has been condensed in the space between the frame segments. There is no solid space type in the building, but only different proportions of space. Space for one, for two, and for many. And the use of space will be defined by the objects of the residents, which offering alternative ways of living and working, choosing to be alone – in their room, or being together – in the collective space. Choosing what they will have, and they will do, and to achieve a lifestyle that the type of space is not given but defined by the residents themselves. Thus, buildings have been converted to the accumulation place of the objects that people can inhabit in, and the spatial quality would be constructed by different organizations of the objects. A Home is Not A House -Reyner Banham “When your house contains such a complex of piping, flues, ducts, wires, lights, inlets, outlets, ovens, sinks, refuse disposers, hi-fi reverberators, antennae, conduits, freezers, heaters – when it contains so many services that the hardware could stand up by itself without any assistance from the house, why have a house to hold it up?”

CAN ARCHITECTURE CONSTRUCTED PURELY THROUGH OBJECTS?

L I V I N G / W O R K I N G / E AT I N G S PA C E COLLAPSE INTO ONE - WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF DIFFERENT OBJECTS

The collapse of the space type is happening rapidly among an emerging group of people in China -- the slash youth. Slash youth is a lifestyle which they are not satisfied with having only one job but prefer to have more diverse jobs and identities. They are single occupants live in rent apartments. When they move into a new place, they gradually fill it up

with their own objects. With massive quantity and the diverse objects such as instruments, photo studio lights etc. Their rooms become more than a space to sleep, but also a living, working, dining space. So, what really defines the future space typology is not the conventional architectural elements. But the "objects" appearing in the space.

Construct lifestyle through organizing the object in a room size space

Domestic facilities are condensed into minimal overlapping frames, the architecture enables residents to accumulate their daily objects to build up privacy, relationships with neighbours, and construct their lifestyles.

And in the tower, there are three planar arrangements provide different proportion of space without solid type. And planner organization was composed simply by rooms, no such space as corridors , essentially is an entirely floor of rooms after rooms that can inhabit . So in that sense that the tower has become as a place for the accumulation of objects to happen and to redefine the use of space and lifestyle, but from the slash youths themselves. In the Type 1 which has the least density of the frame organization, 1. Share toilet and kitchen 2. Less enclosure in the subdivision of the space brings more opportunities for communal, which also provides the common area with double / triple height space in every 3 floors mixed with other two types. And the second type: 1. Each room has individual toilets, 2. And as you can see, every 3-4 four rooms shares a space in between, and there is no doors to separate the room, but the room was divided by overlapping the wall which brings a fluid boundary in this building, a less determined boundary between rooms, and a less determined boundary between interior and exterior. 3. And when the slash youth moves in, they start to fill the space with objects, and the privacy and opening of their space depends how they distribute their objects on these walls And the third type has largest portion of the room for slash youth to build up their individual, private space. 1. Which has the highest density of the frames with ensuite facility 2. And this plan demonstrates the daily life of slash youth based on different way of organizing their objects. In the room of a youtuber, the mixed category of objects shows the space was used as one without clear boundaries, as you can see the cameras, diningwares. And this room shows a life where the bed becomes a center of a filed of distributing his objects, and his daily activities. 3. And with different ways of organizing the objects in the room, the connection between each room and the lifestyle of the residents was constructed.

Typical Floor Plan_ Type 3_ Full 12


The boundary in this proposal is not as defined boundary, is much freer boundary, that suggests the architecture is not architecture base on walls. With the blurrier fuzzier edge, boundaries between rooms are less determined, the boundary between interior and exterior, and the boundary between building and context and less determined. Eventually the building has become an accumulation place of the objects that people can inhabit in, offer alternative ways of living and working, Choosing what they will have, and they will do, and to achieve a lifestyle that the type of space is not given, the privacy is not given, but defined by the residents themselves, through the way they organize the objects. And my projects as architecture, provides only different proportion of space which allow these possibilities to happen.

There are 4 scenarios of lifestyle living in here In the muk bang / officer’s room, the notion of kitchen and office diffused with the distribution of dining object and stationery. and openness were decided by placing the other domestic objects, in this case he enjoys the opening towards the sunlight most. And the privacy was also built up by the way they place their objects. In the cook’s room, his objects were fully occupied the wall while in the musician’s room the wall is half populated which brings more opportunities for communication and visual connection to his neighbor Also the spatial quality can be developed from the objects, in the room a babysitter who put the stuffed toys all around the space creates a warm and soft atmosphere. 15

INHABITABLE WETLAND 2017-2018 Royal College of Art ADS 3 Studio Design Location : Corte Madera, SF Bay Area Concept : A co-habitation for both human and non-human

18

'Inhabitable wetland' is a landscape urbanism project to restore and rearrange the wetland as a habitation both for human and nonhuman, to offset the impacts of historical reclamation and increasing sea level. By imitating the water pattern, a series of islands was reclaimed on the exisitng wetland to absorb the tidal energy. And the semi-floating residential houses bring the oppotunity for people to live with the increasing sea level.

DREDGING ARTIFICE IN ESTUARINE TERRITORY 2015-2016 Architectural Association Landscape Urbanism Cooperate with : Menglei Zhong; Kai Fan To see the full project please visit ISSUU_AALU

‘Dredging Artifice’ looks at ways in which dredged sand and its relocation along the estuarine territory can be repurposed to accommodate and design the relocation of port activities in line with existing wet and marsh lands. Through the manipulation of tidal energy, a geomorphological re-arrangement of dredged material produces a designed archipelago.


ABSTRACT Global Shipping traffic has increased steadily in the last decades causing great transformations in coastal areas. Among the most affected are estuarine territories such as the Ems river estuary in the Wadden Sea. Here, maintenance work of shipping canal needs constant dredging of sand to keep navigation channels unobstructed. These dredging works cause sideeffects such as the increase of tidal range and frequent flooding’s in local coastal cities while the relocation of existing ports and specialised global trade produced shrinkage of nearby cities. Our project ‘Dredging Artifice’ looks at ways in which dredged sand and its relocation along the estuarine territory can be repurposed to accommodate and design the relocation of port activities in line with existing wet and marsh lands. Through the manipulation of tidal energy, a geomorphological re-arrangement of dredged material produces a designed archipelago, on an existing intertidal zone, which over time can produced a territory that can benefit from its exposure to tidal ranges and the constant dynamism, physical and social of Estuarine Landscapes brought by global trade and side effects.

DESIGN STRATEGY

Papenburg

We inspired by the ports planning in Rotterdam, Bilbao, and London. They shift the larger ports from the upstream to the estuaries in order to reduce the dredging work. So in our territorry, we evaluated the development of these shipyards and want to gradually shift the developing part to the estuaries to avoid more dredging work happening in the future, and use the dredged sediment to generate a group of islands at the intertidal area. By doing so, we can make use of this land to boom the city and reduce the tidal energy. 31


SIMULATION AN INTERVENTION For the small scale construction, we are going to build the hard structure in the intertidal area in the estuary by take advantages of tidal current and sediment circulation. To understand he sediment catching process of those hard structure, we did a series of simulation to test how the different length, angle, and arrangement can influence the deposition and erosion in estuarine territory.
