1. VERTICAL DOMAIN ORTHOGONAL LANGUAGE

e following iteration shows a test of using the wall as the main language to generate the owing system and how it could be introduced into a grounded design.

Vertical language

As the ow follows gravity, the vertical architecture language becomes the main focus of the design.

e wall vessel is composed of vessel enclosure and primary structure. e construction detail refers to the Metropolitan Park South Access.

Gabion Walls in this architecture provide the enclosure of the interior with a layer of glazing covering the inside. e gabion wall does not provide structural support; the primary structure is the steel column and beam system.

Physical model study of feasibity

e experiment here is to test if the matter could fall along the preset routine. By setting up a ramp within the wall, the matter will follow the guide to fall through di erent walls.

Series creative research sketch shows the possibility of playing with the vertical architecture language from the onsite factory.

Mysterious

Visual Navigation

Test 1:

Cut the existing chimney and change the vertical wall into a diagonal ramp and courtyard.

Light & Shadow Initiative Corresponding

Test 2:

If the program is still a graveyard, the language of the chimney could be separated into tiny boundary de ne the element.

Touch

Circulation

Test 3:

To assist the vertical language, the oor slab could be organic. Leaving skylight on the overlapped layering slab brings the complex circulation from the 8 main characteristics of post-industrialism derelicts to design.

Program

Updated from the rst iteration in ELABORATION II, the program here updated into a material recycle centre.

Transport tunnel let material fall into architectural walls following gravity

Material deliver to site and send to the central storage for circulation

Communal public space as library, public gathering and park. Sports climbing in the chimney relic on-site

Material deliver to top storage for crushing into fragment

A new version of cemetery which also serves as the rare plant garden.

Additional organic material will be used to reinforce the bend bank to resist sea level rise.

waste material collection

public gallery crematorium

Plan layout

In order to connect the three surrounding factors: industry, community and nature, by using three axes and leading three transitions, people will always be able to nd a way to engage with the new interpretation.

Here the rigid boundary is replaced by a gradual transition from one environment to another.

Atmosphere

I walked in the sound of complex rustles; some were brutal like stone breaking, some were gentle like dust owing. In the ambiguous outline weaved by mesh, I can recognize the shadow of some old factories’ parts. I walked in the sound of complex rustles; some were whispering, and some were loud. I saw people walk through the fall, and trucks put something in and take something out. e noise is hidden, and the silence is broken in the space generated by the fall.
