ITERATION 1 PLAYSPACE FOR CHILDREN Through a simple massing model within a volume of a cube and following the space hierachy eaxtracted from the playhoouse, defining enclosure (bounding box, communal space (the cone), the more private space (underneath the ramp), the first iteration of proposing a playspace for children is developed.
Inserted ‘Tafoni elements’
EXPLODING VIEW The exploding view shows how this proposal follows the hierarchy of the space of children’s playhouse and elments relating to Tafoni topography were inserted to used as both structure but also facilites for children to explore.

SITE CONTEXT The serpentine gallery locates iteself inside Hyde Park, which gives great natural scenery. When you stand far from the gallery, it looks like that it is fading away into nature scene. Also, when you are look away inside the gallery, the large windows frame out the background of greenery.

In a previous exhibition in serpentine gallery, Adrian Villar Rojas has taken the gallery as an installation where the space was re-imagined as a fossilised world of ruins and ancient monuments. In my proposal, instead of filling the space with relic piceces, the whole gallery is taken as an intact fossil which organically decayed at one corner. This decaying space is spreading iteself to the natural surrounding. It serves as an oppening space for receiving guests and created a sub-layer of space which serves as exhibition rooms.
DECONSTRUCT AND REARANGEMENT The start point of the design is to deconstruct the current serpentine gallery and rearrange the corner with systems of boxes which rebuild the partition and circulation of the space and these boxes is going to control the growth of the geometry.
PROPOSAL ISOMETRIC & EXPLODING VIEW This isometric view shows the relationship between the decaying corner and the original serpentine gallery and from the exploding view, it can be seen that the form of the roof extends along the geometry of the corner. The new ‘corner’ serves as an reception space for receiving guests and created a sub-layer of exhibition space inside the partition separated by its organic branching.

To provide subtle lighting which corporates the organic geometries, roof is designed with light well and opennings that indicate the position of each partition and the overal circulation.
Grid (Stacked boxes)
Relaxing surface of boxes
DEVELOPED METHOD: ‘GRID SYSTEM’ To rationalized the generation of the organic geometry, grid system is applied. Each unit block is 50cm*50cm*50cm. First, stacking the blocks and then relax the surface to its balance value. The controlled organic shape is achieved. Also, as each block has a dimension, the organic geometry can be designed through boxes to make sure the scale fit into human activities. This enables much controlled design which can hardly be done by random parametric process.

Adding Scale and Function As showned in the diagram, by controlling the quantity of boxes and the stacking pattern, the scale of the outcome organic form is defined, by which certain functions can be inserted into it. The aim is to create space of intricate quality which similar to tafoni structure which is waiting to be explored by its users.
Outcome vertical structure
Stacked boxes
VERTICAL ENVELOPE DEVELOPMENT Based on above discussion, the vertical enveloped is developed. Also, the idea of ‘rigid to organic’ is tested. The structure becomes more porous and organic from left to right, which is brought to the final proposal.
Potential of roof generation After vertical structures, testing the limit of creating roof is structure. The pattern of the roof has similar qualities of the organic form of Tafoni structures
TESTING DIFFERENT MATERIALITY A layered laser cut model to test different method to generate the geometry and identify tis materiality. This layered quality is further applied to the roof design of final proposal.
Examine its layered texture and the shadow created. By taking different angels, 3-dimensional spatial quality can be found
PHYSICAL 3D PRINTED TEST This 3D printed model is produced to test the spatial quality and its performance with light physically. Also, it tests the idea of ‘rgid to organic’.
Changing porosity and dynamic along the structure
PHYSICAL MODEL TEST This 1:50 sectional model is to test the spatial quality of the final proposal, such as interior environment and lighting.
UNDERNEATH ROOF Below the roof, there are the ‘organ’ of the serpentine gallery which strates to ‘decay’ to its natural surrounding. These structures has reformed the original exhibition space into smaller partition dynamically.
INTERIOR LIGHTING The effeiciency of the light well design on the roof hae been tested, and it successfully creates a soft, ambient indoor lighting which can enhance the performance of exhibition room.

Envision of future nordhavn: canals crossing through city
Urban context of the site: a city district seperated by canals Nordhavn, located only 4km from the city centre of Copenhagen, is the largest metropolitan development project in Scandinavia in the years to come. With its accessibility to the city’s core infrastructure and direct access to the water, This post-industrial harbour site will be developed over the next 40-50 years, featuring a total floor area of up to 4,000,000 m2, providing living space for 40,000 inhabitants and workspace for another 40,000 people. Located on the Ă˜resund coast, Nordhavnen will utilize its direct access to the sea by providing a multitude of recreational urban spaces and public facilities at the water. The site is located next to the first Metro station of the extended new metro line and is close to Copenhagen internatoinal school, which are the two important facilities in the city district.

Read more about the station in 2020, which enrich the flow of people travelling around the site. This project takes advantages of the mobility of people along the metro line and is aiming at extending the influence of the station as more than a transporative infrastructure.
a. locating and connecting important transportive spots around the site
b. adding and substratcing the redundant paths
c. extracting and defining geometry from the paths
First iteration: multifunctional transportation structure The initial idea of this project is to create a structure that works both as transportation infrastructure and cultural center for Nordhavn. Therefore, it is connecting the Metro station, the school, a habour for canal boats (see grey square) , and both sides of the harbour. The points where the circulation arrive are marked out. The development is a process of addition and substraction within the paths connecting these points.

Kistefos Museum serves both as infrascture and cultural center center
CASE STUDY : multi-program space in a simplified gesture The new kistefos Museum from BIG’s proposal is conceived as a simple beam
that spans the Randeslva to connect the two edges of the site, becoming a second bridge for the Sculpture Park, A twist in the building’s Volume allows the bridge to lift from the lower forested area towards the south, up to the hillside area in the north. This creates a series of interconnected spaces.
CIRCULATION
Progressive linear iterations2: refine shape to a bridge The second program volume proposed only focus on the connection between the Mestro station and the school, whch reduces the redundant part in the first plan. The circulation is intertwined and is applying a similar geometry of the two bridges in the case study. However, as a long span structure, the overall form stills requires more dynamic and optimization
suble composition in section creates complexity and dynamic
CASE STUDY 2: organic flow in Zaragora Bridge This bridge designed by Zaha Hadid has combined the exhibition space and social space inside the bridge. It takes a form of three flower pods that intertwines with each other and functions differently along the bridge. Zaha Hadid’s example imply that how a linear organic form become inhabitable and diverse.
Inspiration from natural weathering During the exploration of organic form language, natural weathering (tafoni) process becomes the main inspiration. These Small cave-like geographyical feature found in granular rock such as sand stone, tranite and sandy-lime stone with rounded entrances and smooth concave walls have given the clue of a form optmized strategy.

Iterative progress of the whole bridge (facing south) The elevation of the bridge shows how the overall structural and esthetic value are considered to produce the outcome. Structurally, the bridge is a arch-canteliver composite but the tubic nature will turn these forces on the bridge into tension. Also, the potential distribution of how the program should fit into the bridge is considered. For example, the right end of the building has encaved opennings where the studios for student could be located. The central part will be the main exhibition space.
* DOUBLE-GRP SKIN
* Inserted Floor panel to seal the geometry
* Steel framework
*Installing GRP panel on complex steel frame dense steel framework
*Composition of the bridge inbetween the station and the school
Overall construction strategy 1 The most obvious solution to translate this complex structure into real materials is to apply the skin of the shell onto a steel frame with floors inserted inbetween them. Since it is not very likely to resolve the whole system, the next two chapters will zoom in to one certain part (the deck) to focus on how to actually make these three layers work together.

Reference of materiality and structure assembly This project is made up of three layers of flat stripes . They are fabricated to support on each other and each stripe contribute to the unified structure. The structural system would remind us of fiber technology, such as carbon or glass fiber. However, as individual component does not need to be strected by tension, they dont perform exactly as glass fiber. Each components are pre-fabricated and can be replaced or modified during construction. This reference give implication of the interior space might be experienced with similar materiality (GRP) panels

* Level 3: the overall form is clearly defined
Generation process of final iteration Some required changes are revealed after doing the 1:200 iteration model. Especially the openings of the form needs to be more defined and to relate to the program.Here is the generation process of a full bridge, where the form is gradually iterating from a combinition of stacked boxes into an organic structure.
1:200 ITERATION MODEL
Demand of developing a new city district The rising population of Cophenhagen has required the city to develop new district for providing new jobs and new living space. It is under this presurre that Nordhavn is planned to develop into an area which is going to hold the same amount of population as most of the biggests districts of Copenhagen do.
The new bridge is inherently an infrastructure, but the organic form gives it more esthetic value. While having a sculpturous outline, it will contain exhibition for artworks from the students and provide private studios for them, which makes the bridge as an extension of the school and the interface where students meet the public.
