Shelter
“W / (in) TENSION” is an experiment to follow the trajectory of a dynamic structure’s interaction with dynamic tenants. Constantly reading the user and seeking to find its optimal living condition and shear it’s mass to fit within any context. Reaching closer to a perfected site orientation at all times; changing in “real-time. ”In our exploration “W / (in) TENSION,” we recognize a need to use technology to further our concepts, but seek to regain the pressure applied by the human hand. We use prosthetics, spectacles and artificial limbs, to aid our actions. They are used to physically and psychologically assist our diminishing sense of “ability” while paralyzed with new sensory technologies, such as “Xbox Kinect” and “Pupil Tracking” we support a continuation in the use of technology as a pursuit of greater resolution with our tools. “W / (in) TENSION” uses these devices to track select points of the body when in motion. This information translated to our tool, the tensioned frame, to transform the form of internal and external space. 4

3D Print Protector Developed from three web cams, the pupil headset is able to track four directions of pupil movement. The two cameras facing user’s right eye acquire the coordinates and send the data to a computer which used for driving the two robotic arms on the tracks. In this case, users are able to control the shelter we designed to accomplish four configuration.

Robot Simulation Robot simulation helps us to find out how each unit will react during the tower moving and transforming. Because the residential tower transforms seasonally, there are totally four configurations of robot movement.

Robot Simulation
In the design, only the top part of the residential tower is movable. In this case, the robotic arm through connecting to the cheese panel to simulate the seasonal movement. The total movement is in the range of +30 to -30 degree of the x direction of KUKA robot A6 end arm.

Start from studying nature ventilation, I tried to utilize local wind directions to identify and reform the supporting walls. Lifting up the first floor together with double wall system of sidings give this design its signature.

Further step is about dynamic spaces. Since people are losing satisfaction in fixed programs, I tried to purpose dynamic solid spaces which are able to controlled by owners themselves. The space or functional programs only created in demands of people’s needs. In this design, based on the existing building I use magnet as control point(human) attract the surrounding spacial programs which made by solid iron dust in order to realize the dynamic solid spaces.

This commercial center design based on a real project and site. After researching the surrounding topology and we try to find the building language through urban texture. The lower part contains retail and cinema; the taller part is office building.

Located on wasted river-way, the ‘Beehive’ is proposed for young people as their working and living module. The modules are able to connect with each other through simple joints so that the users themselves could build the community base on their needs.

So-called ‘Beehive’ means communication between neighbors and the ways of composition are the highlight of this design. Using wood and plastic as building materials makes this building light enough to construct by hand. There are totally eight pieces which could connect each other with same joints.
