Tundra Cloud Inside Out Jump House Urban Oasis Work Sample His passion and his profession is to merge with the crowd. For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer, it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and flow, the bustle, the fleeting and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere; to see the world, to beat the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world… The observer is a prince enjoying his incognito wherever he goes.

--Charles Baudelaire

Tundra Cloud 2015 Ecological Studio Instructor: Lori Brown, Lydia Kallipoliti

In the past fifty years, global warming was causing permafrost thawing in tundra and arctic biome. Permafrost is soil at or below the freezing point of water 0 °C (32 °F) for two or more years. Once the permafrost melts, there will be voids in soil layer, which causes land sinking. Methane created by decomposed organism, which trapped in permafrost, will release into the atmosphere, sometimes even cause explosion on landscape. To deal with the sinking ground problem in tundra biome, this project develops lightweight building system as well as artificial ground to support the building.

My site for the building locates in Abisko, Sweden, a small town famous for its tourism. It sits near the main road in between two scientific research centers and neighbors Abisko National Park. The proposed building will connect normal people’s life with science and enables them to know methane’s usage in everyday life better.

Gas:

Tessellate tube system + Gas Storage Wall + Ground Gas Storage System (Embedded in the Artificial Ground) Structure: Structural Aerogel Panels + Column & Beam System + Origami Artificial Ground (Supportive System on Methane-collapsed Soft Ground)

Tube system

Structural Support

Bacteria (methanotroph) in tube -- metabolize methane to generate electricity

Gas Wall

Structure support tessellate intersections The intersections serve as access points for utilizing gas in the laboratory.

Following Semper’s idea of having an interior masked by a simple form, the concept begins with an intricate space that takes place within a typical Mykonos building. The complexity of the interior is concealed by the vernacular qualities of the exterior. Like Semper, this project founds that an abundance of rich materiality and shapes can drive the overall experience of the space and provide greater contrast with the exterior. In terms of the exterior scheme, typical buildings in Mykonos are terraced of one another, built in to a hillside, and open up to south. All of these elements combined creating a group of units that mesh together underneath the curvy rooftop.

“Law of Ripolin” Imagine the results of the Law of Ripolin. Every citizen is required to replace his hangings, his damasks, his wall-papers, his stencils, with a plain coat of white ripolin. His home is made clean. There are no more dirty, dark corners. Everything is shown as it is. Then comes inner cleanness, for the course adopted leads to refusal to allow anything at all which is not correct, authorized, intended, desired, thought-out: no action before thought. When you are surrounded with shadows and dark corners you are at home only as far as the hazy edges of the darkness your eyes cannot penetrate.

You are not master in your own house. Once you have put ripolin on your walls you will be master of yourself.

Urban Oasis - A Pale View of Hills “Written on the Wall at West Forest Temple Su Shi From the side, a whole range; from the end, a single peak: Far, near, high, low, no two parts alike.

Why can’t I tell the true shape of Lu-shan?

Because I myself am in the mountain.

John Rajchman talks about the multiplicity of Gilles Deleuze’s The Fold. “It opens, in other words, the possibility of a ‘disjunctive synthesis,’ where the disjuncts are ‘disparate’ rather than ‘distinct’ and the synthesis ‘inclusive’ rather than ‘exclusive’.

“A society freed from its own alienation, emancipated from the rhetorical forms of humanitarian socialism and rhetorical progressivism.” It frees us with its blankness, its featurelessness, allowing us to be anyone anywhere.
