PERSONAL STATEMENT

CHANGE THE SURROUNDINGS FOR BETTER I dream to become a successful interior designer in my future, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I took the Associate Degree Course in Environment and Interior design, as well as the Bachelor Degree Course in Interior Architecture. I am a person that is excited by change, who is ready to accept the challenge, step forward and to learn more about the function, space, use, material and form about interior architectural space and the surrounding environment. A designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connotation is always more important than its beautiful appearance. The portfolio is an edited collection of my best studio works, which were completed in the past four years of my study in the interior design industry, which can show my style as an artist and the improvement over time. In my designs, I like to blend what I designed into the surrounding environment, no matter it is a building or simply a unit. The wholeness of a community is very important, so I am particularly interested in designs associated with the linking spaces between buildings, those spaces where people usually ignore or do not even notice. With my passion in design, concern of the environment and interest in exploring the relationship between space, form, programme and human behaviours, I believe that I can change the surroundings for better.

WHITE STONE - LINGERIE SHOP

C O M P L E T I O N D AT E : N O V 2 0 1 2

PROJECT BRIEF A brand new conceptual “market” is going to open in Hong Kong. This experimental project includes more than 30 international brands. Each stall has to be designed under a unified imagery of “stones” – a layering of stones in the “market”. It is an exceptional form if what the hosts are expecting. Well organized display system should be invented for the specific sales items, where the system should demonstrate the unique characteristics, say the form, size, material, texture, weight and how customers will make contact with – of the sales items and then formulate an order for the display and storage of them.

FORM DEVELOPMENT METHOD 1

Massing – Interlocking Material: Foam

Different ways of dissection form an interlocking of the mass. The different form of the foam is made based on 6 rocks respectively. One form is being dissected into 9 pieces, and further grouped into 3 groups of 3 dissected pieces each as to perform an interlock.

METHOD 2

Envelop – Perforation Material: 250gram white paper

Envelop models are regenerated to represent one from method 1. Different sizes and shapes of voids are created through the act of perforation. Different arrangement allows the exploration of the level of penetration and lighting quality for the interior.

METHOD 3

Frame â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wrapping Materials : Wood aircraft, Plastic sheets (Translucent, transparent) Sandpaper, 250 gram white paper

Planes are created one a line joins two points. Since an edgy form consists of a large amount of points, so it is fun to create planes within such a space. Furthermore, there are a lot of spaces being left as open spaces, where they are only supported by the frame but not walls. There is a use of different transparency and imprints to from visual depth, layering of space and illusion.

FINAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT Material used for final model: 0.5mmWhite glazed cardboard 0.6 diameter beads A light bulb

Space form through the making of the envelop. The final form is a 22-sided polygon.

DISPLAY SYSTEM 1 item can be folded and stored in each unit, where the stock is categorized by cutting, colour and size respectively. There is 1 fitting room fixed in the middle of the “egg”, where the whole thing will glow at night and makes it stands out in the dark, light will be penetrated through the racks of goods and cracks within.

EGG MODEL Add light bulb with batteries, add beads as, undergarments, then turn the bulb on. For the spiral staircase, there is a difference in each step’s width, so every step is not the same. staircase of a difference in each step’s width.

EXPERIENCE / CIRRULATION At first, one will pass through the entrance and arrive measurement counter. She then goes all the way up, where there is only one direction. Before purchasing the item(s), she will first arrive waiting area and the fitting room. Cashier could be the last stop for a customer, or she could walk further to the balcony on the top of the staircase.

FINAL MODEL 1:25 EXTERNAL DESIGN Pattern of windows follow its planes. They are of different length but same width. The pattern is dynamic, where it extends / continuous / links to the adjacent plane. The whole building is built in white, where white symbolizes PURE & SIMPLE. The edgy design of the building can be referred as “PROTECTION”. Day-view: Sunlight penetrates through the long windows.

PROJECT BRIEF An architectural or interior model is a type of tangible and physical representation of a design. It is an essential way to communicate design ideas to clients, committees and the general public. Rough, study models can be made quickly using cardboard, wooden blocks, polystyrene, foam, foam boards and other materials. Quick, ad hoc models are sometimes made to study the interaction of volumes, or to get an idea of how they look from different angles. Designing a building, a structure and a space by using these “sketch models” or “conceptual model” can be a very open-ended and practical method of exploring ideas. They are an efficient tool for three-dimensional understanding of a design.

In order to let an adequate amount of sunlight penetrating into the unit, glass windows are installed. The walls are made out of white carved marble, so as to create a dynamic space, where they look like the movement of water. Floor is made of old-boat wood and stone, it differs from the different area of the unit. Such flooring and the rock columns give a feeling of super-temporal, where it is beyond time and culture.

RENDERING

In this living quarter, people can feel the gift from nature. The materials used give a feeling of timeless and natural. The focus of the design is on the change of chosen materials and leveling of the floor. Such a change represents the sequence of experiences one will encounter when he/she is on the seabed. It is a trip from the bottom of the sea, where you can see a wreck ship, to the surface, where you can see sand and pebbles. During the trip, on your way to the surface, you will come across natural stones under water, it can be seen as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;interior swimming experienceâ&#x20AC;?.

The Royal Military Canal is a canal that is 45km in length, built in 19th century and located in Kent. The initial reason for building it was as a defence against the possible invasion during Napoleonic Wars, where two narrow rivers joined to become a large water body. The water velocity and repulse gradually change along the canal, those at the narrow part are different from the wide part. There are a few settlements located around the bifurcation area of the canal.

DESIGN DIRECTION Choosing the right boat: NARROWBOAT Narrowboat gives cramped feelings, where prison-like space is supposed to be like this. Its width makes it more easily to travel from the narrow to the widen part of the canal. It can be imagined to float at a countercurrent, figuratively for people to endure and overcome what has gone wrong.

3 en-suite cells and 1 staff area are added to the barge. Fences are installed for add-on security. 1 shared shower is located on the corridor. The 3 cells are separated from each other. The staff tower is taller than the cell as it has to fit 3 people in at the same time in such limited space, so the space was developed vertically into the second floor. Every cell is totally separated from each other, the space outside each cell is the private space of the one next to it.

Overhanging walls are extended from the ceiling of the corridors in order to incorporate the boat, rather to make them look like boxes. Although the inmates cannot go outside, they still can feel and get to know what is happening around them. Also, fresh air can be brought into the corridor through the gap, making the space less suffocated. At the same time, inmates can approach the nature directly, through smelling the grass and water, looking at the view and listening to the sound brought by all sorts of elements and habitat in the surrounding environment. Other than this, all the toilets are removed from the cells and 1 shared washing facility is added instead, in order to have a more efficient and effective use of space. 3 inmates sharing one washroom is adequate for their daily use. Another adjustment is the staff area, where it is combined with the latter part of the corridor in order to create a larger space for them. All the cells and the staff room are connected and linked with the use of the corridor, where the private space of the cells are deleted, as it is not convenient for them to walk along the barge. Fences are removed as they are not essential, the security problem can further be alleviated through lifting up and angling the ceiling of the cells and the staff area. The corridors that connects all the compartments are pushed downwards as to get rid of the boxy shape of the barge, making every unit stands out, showing to the outside that there are actually 4 individual units exist on the barge. Such level difference is like a separation of the units. 29

FINAL DESIGN TECHNICAL DRAWINGS

The patterned window frame represents the energy and life cycle of tree branches in the natural habitat. The reason it is designed like this is also to blend in and to create a cohesive atmosphere with the surrounding environment. Prisons are places which are supposed to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;transparentâ&#x20AC;?, where all the people can see what they are doing all the time and under supervision. I want to break through the traditional design of the prisons, as well as providing adequate privacy for the inmates. The thin openings allow wind to go into the space, where the inamtes can feel fresh and comfortable while enjoying the view. Such spaces are also good for them to meditate and rejuvenate themselves.

PROJECT BRIEF The concept is turning towards nature, as its suitable for its current surroundings. It is to transform the existing design of a prison placed on a narrow boat hull structure, to something more to do with the nature around the set canal. We decided to transform the narrow boat into a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bird hideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

This area gives different infomation of the types of birds in that can be seen around the canal. After this there is the main outside decking area that has sculptural like beams with vegetation growing around it, this is to create camoflage for the boat. Then on to the bird hide.

PROJECT BRIEF The project is based in Lewes, where Sussex House is that site for everyone to redesign and provide a new programme for the place. It is a four-storey building with a garden and car park. Grey headers with red brick dressings, stuccoed band over ground floor, partly stuccoed cornice band over first floor and stuccoed rusticated quoins. Wooden moulded bracketted cornice to low-pitched plain tiled roof with stacks at right end and to left behind ridge. 3 storeys and basement; regular 5 window front, glazing bar sashes with gauged flat-arched heads.

BACKGROUND

SITE DETAILS AND ITS HISTORY EXACT SITE: SUSSEX HOUSE No 212 and Railings to South, Lewes Description: No 212 and Railings to South Grade: II Date Listed: 25 February 1952 English Heritage Building ID: 293249

It was a Broughton school, a home school for girls, taking boarders and day pupils, and giving special attention to backward and delicate children; there was a preparatory class for boys. In 1954, renovation of the place began and it is now an office of thelocal government.

CHOSEN SOCIETIES, PROGRAMME & THE PROJECT AIM The project to provide a social art hub for the local people to meet, create art and enjoy live entertainment for the time being together. The project is created to investigate how the two different types of arts can actually influence each other, eventually creating something new, something exclusive out of them. It is essential to provide an experience to the users that they have never ever go through. SOCIETY 1: THE CON CLUB (Lewes Constitutional Club) This club offers regular live entertainments, especially music events. It consists of a bar area, a function room with stage, dinning section and a garden. It also holds an annual music event called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Lewes Psychedelic Festivalâ&#x20AC;?.

SOCIETY 2: THE SUSSEX COUNTY ARTS CLUB The club mainly does life drawing. It is a small club that consists of three private studios for rent, a large public life drawing studio and a pantry. It holds regular midnight drawing events where artists can draw and chill together at the same time. It also holds an annual summer ehibition to ehibit the artworks created there.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT & MODELS RELIEF MODEL The model was inspired by the moire effect and the annual Psychedelic Festival which is held by the Con Club. The patterns generated by the moire effect are so confusing, just like how I actually feel about Lewes this place. This represents the fusion of the audio and the visual effects brought by the Psychedelic Festival respectively, this indicates the blending of public and private spaces.

The modelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim was to let people to see the depth of the pattern, to see and observe how the pattern changes when one plays around with the different pieces of layerings. One can investigate how the moire effect actually goes within the space, especially how it creates spaces and voids within the layers.

SECTIONAL MODEL

The sectional model is a zoomed-in version of the moire effect pattern of the relief drawing. Three layers of the same pattern but are of different scale were put together vertically by copper rods, black strings were then used to connect the rods together to form planes, in order to investigate the relationship between the blending of public and private spaces within the site. Besides, it is also used to examine how spaces can be formed, shaped, divided and used in all sorts of ways. The rods represents the paths for people to transit and circulate within the site, where people can travel and move around the area freely. The model aims at taking away the distinct division between the public and private, at the same time investigating how the paths can connect and interlock with each other. 44

CONCEPT VISUALIZATION The confusion of the planes express the connection between the public and private. Through these planes and ramps, showing the possible moevements of people dwelling inside this abstracted space. This model shows the movement through space and possibilities for dividing rooms and floors. The pattern on my planes are there also to take away the boundaries of space, created a more abstracted form of space that makes sense for human inhabilitation, such as controlling the size and scale of different parts.

to allocate all the platforms and ramps within the site, both in the building and the exterior part. The interior is a design with platforms of different levelings, with ramps and staircases connected to each other, joining places of similar or related programmes. This model is used to investigate how people can actually transit and circulate inside the space, and to see how places can affect each other. Pillars were added to the whole design as supporting, as the ramps and platforms cannot be built and stand on their own.

D E S I G N D E TA I L S O F T H E F I N A L I Z E D M O D E L

The design has the same feature as the interior part, it is that people can get to know what is happening in the other parts of the giant continuous ramp. There is a void inthe middle, so that people are able to peek down or up, seeing all the things happening surrounding them, or even communicating with the others. With the use of the different levelings of the ramp, people can choose how loud the music they want to hear, it differs from the altitude.

1. This is a wall which will be cut and transformed into two half walls.

2. The wall is then cut in the middle evenly and formed two seperate half walls.

3. The two half walls move apart from each other and form a pathway in between them in order to let people passby.

4. In order to deal with the different degrees of privacy, some of the walls are extended. At the same time, part of the walls are cut off so as to maintain the openess of the space. This design and arrangement or walls are used throughout the whole building.

All of the walls in the existing building are taken away in order to maintain the openness and spaciousness. For the floors, several parts are trimmed and kept, while the others are removed. New platforms are built in different heights and all of them are in a different leveling. So the redesigned interior is very different from the former one, one will not be able to find the very distinct four floors anymore. This also enhances the communication between the users, so that they can communicate and share the moments and experiences they obtained.

MATERIALS EXPLORATION

CONCRETE Concrete has great strength and durability, so it is actually very suitable to be used for supports. It gains strength over time and will not be weakened by moisture, mould or pests. It slows the transmit of heat moving through, thus reducing temperature. This reduces energy needs from heating or air-conditioning, offering year-round energy savings over the life-time of the building. Something strong has to be added to the infrastructure as supports and concrete is always the best choice as it has high strength. Concrete, being inert, compact and non-porous, does not attract mould or lose its key properties over time.

PERFORATED STAINLESS STEEL SHEETS Stainless steel is marketed for its corrosion resistance, sanitary qualities, high durability and modern looking. It has maintenance and replacement costs. The downside of the material is that dents and scratches are common in high-traffic areas. Such material is chosen is also because of the influence of the moirĂŠ pattern. Overlapping of such sheets can actually create the moirĂŠ pattern, where it constantly shifts and shimmers as you walk through the internal space. An effect of visual layering and blurring is lyrically expressed. This can help in maintaining a certain degree of privacy, at the same time enhancing ventilation within the whole space.

RED BRICKS Bricks are hard, where the outer crust is harder and more dense than the inner material. It has a long lifespan when properly maintained, with low maintenance cost when properly laid. It can be carved and can be found in wide range of colours and textures. This material is somehow like the identity of the site - the Sussex House, as the building has a high historical value, and bricks are well-fit into the surrounding environment. It is interesting to create an interior that has a big contrast in style with the exterior. Such building has to treasure its value, but it is always nice and challenging to put something new into it.

PROJECT BRIEF Capture an experience, an event or an interface from the site visit. On stage 1, the space, its volume and temporal nature of an interface or interaction has to be understood so as to generate a piece of “Spatial-temporal Site Analysis Drawing”. On stage 2, the interface explored was blown up in scale, from a singular interface, to the more complex spatial activity of an interchange, which will be small in scale. Two different sites have to be decided, and they will have the ability to adapt to a variety of locations and conditions, thus developing a symbiotic relationship with the site and the city.

SITE BACKGROUND

In Shoreditch, there is a lot of hidden treasure and culture to be found. Dispite the cultural difference of the people inhabit there, there is a strong sense of community. For example, there are huge cube installations that can be found in parks, where it tells people to write on their feelings, feedback and comments about the community or the society. The place is so full of culture and artistic elements that you can find graffiti everywhere.

Shoreditch is a place where always demands people to rely on their knowledge of the place, as there are a lot of “hidden treasures” within, and only local people may know about them and can access them. People that are new to the place may not be able to find out such treasures, such as small unique shops, galleries, exhibition centres, etc.

SITE 1: DEREHAM STREET The site is surrounded by high walls by the two sides and a low wall at the end, the place is not enclosed, so all the natural elements such as wind, sunlight, rain, etc., can actually get into the site. The dead-end faces the East, where the sun trajectories rises from the South-East and goes down to the South-West. Since the side-walls are relatively high, which all of them are higher than 5m tall, so actually the site will not be seriously affected by prevailing wind and rain, the high walls blocked most of them from entering the area. The walls are what defined the space and formed the dead-end. On the right hand-side of the street, there is the Strongroom, which is a music venue and a bar, on the other side there locates the Centre Charles Peguy, which is a charity organization. The exterior of the two buildings formed the walls of the street, where both of the walls are made up of Atherstone Buff Bricks cavity walls.

SITE 2: 66 RIVINGTON STREET The site is at a tunnel on 66 Rivington Street, which its location is under a railway. The site is less vulnerable to rain and wind as well, since the place is covered by the railway over it and the walls on the two sides of the tunnel, this makes the space becoming a kind of like a semi-enclosed space, and this makes sunlight quite difficult to penetrate into the space. The walls are finished with Flemish bond, where each course is done by putting headers and stretchers alternately. For each course, alternate headers are placed in the center over the stretchers of the below course.

All of the alternate courses begin with one header at the corner. Such bonding is aesthetically pleasing and looks interesting, such kind of bonding will help in raising the creativeness of a building.

T H E I N T E R FA C E

The interface is all about the interaction in between myself and the door, so as to grasp the moment of going pass the door, from the exterior to the interior of the gallery. It is actually the moment of transition. It is a kind of 3D movement analysis, to capture the time and movement, to join initial frames of the movement together for further investigations.

STEP 1 Sequence images were traced in dots, where six dots were placed in everyphoto and applied in a xonometric grids, so as to investigate the movement within the site spatially.

STEP 2 Dots in every single image were then linked together to form a shape, in order to examine the movement more clearly, layer by layer.

STEP 3 Layers of the trajectory can be seen clearly, where they indicates the every steps of the interface.

SPATIAL-TEMPORAL SITE ANALYSIS DRAWING 3D MODELING all of the planes generated in the spatial temporary drawing, they were linked and jointed together with the use of wires. Such frameworks help in investigating the relationship between time, shape and space, see how and what kind of space can be formed.

CHOSEN PROGRAMME A MINI ART EXCHANGE ARCHIVE Why Creating a mini art exchange archive? Shoreditch is not a very famous place where many people know deeply about it, it is a place full of culture and hidden treasure all over the places, so it deserves to let more people getting know about this. Only the locals know about where such hidden treasures are, they are not highly accessible but very valuable. So, I would like to promote the local culture and let it to expose more to the outside world. Local art is an approach to let people getting know about its local culture, so it would be nice to let them trade, buy or just view the local art pieces through the photo slides, they are of such high resolution that every single bit of the artwork can be observed and appreciated.

1. Concept derived from the taraditional way of how people view art in an gallery. Somehow, they cannot magnify them in order to see them clearly, they cannot change the details they are able to see in the art pieces.

2. My programme is a mini art exchange archive, where artists photographed their artworks into photo slides and display on the internal walls of the facade. Through this way, people can view the artworks in a very high resultion, with the use of loupes and projectors. Such process will not be included in the archive, they have to do this beforehand.

3. People have two ways to view the details of the artworks printed on the slides, they can either project them with the slide projector or view them with the use of loupes, so that they can be clear about every single detail about the artworks.

4. When people are interested in some of the artworks, they just have to dial the numbers written on the slides, which are the phone number of the artists respectively. The artists’ names will not be written on the slides as people might tend to buy artworks of famous artists, this will give unfamous or young artists a chance to sell and spread their works.

5. The artist will then meet up with the one who dialed him/her, to negotiate among themselves, see if the buyer really wants it and find the price reasonable.

6. People can actually trade their artpieces, auction or directly buy other people’s works, it all depends on how they negotiate and deal with each other.

7. The slides of the sold artworks will be stored inside the archive as a gallery, and will not be displayed on the walls anymore. This way, people can still have a look at what was sold before and know more about Shoreditch’s local art.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT TRANSITION 1 GRADUAL CHANGE IN MATERIALITY Glass is a material that shows transparency and appears to be light, while brick is bulk and heavy, when applying these two materials together into a design, it can show the graduate transition from glass. Bricks are as well used to make the infrastructure camouflage into the site, like a hidden treasure.

TRANSITION 2 TEMPERATURE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE Insulation is a very important element in the design, as it can keep the interior warm in the winter. Low-E glass will be used in the design as windows, this tricky material ahs the ability to keep the interior cool in the summer and keep it warm in the winter, this is how the transition between the temperature of the exterior and the interior is going to take place.

TRANSITION 3 PROJECTION OF AN OBJECT One of the main activites that will be happening in the archive is the projection of photo slides onto the screen, this action actually turns an object - the photo slide, into sometihng virtual - the projected image. Such a process turns something tangible into intangible.

CONCEPT MODELING

The first three models are of the same series, where they were made of paper and cardboard only. By that time, I have already decided my programme, so the aim of the new models were to further investigate how interesting spaces can be formed and be related to my studio project. I used the same drawing as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;baseâ&#x20AC;? to make the these three models, these cutting and folding ones were made of layers of cardboard in different anglings, so that they could form planes and spaces, and its form became more interesting.

I have extracted the layers in the spatial drawing out in a 3D way in these two modelsinstead of cutting them simply on a 2D drawing. This could help me more in testing and investigating spaces, thus the connection and relationship between frames and shapes.

FINAL DESIGN | FORM DEVELOPMENT

The form is derived from the spatial-temporal site analysis drawing.

The drawing was printed out, a new model was formed by cuting and folding different bits and areas of the drawing, so as to form new shapes and spaces. The shape of the base of the design was extracted here.

The extracted 2D form was extruded in order to form a complete space that can inhabitate people.

The 3D shape was then widened and lengthened to make the space more efficient.

DESIGN SKETCHES| WINDOW PATTERNS

Patterns are sketched out and applied onto the surface of the facade to see which one is the most suitable for my design. The technical workability, creativeness and the potential effect on the interior are the most important elements to be considered.

PHYSICAL MODEL | 1:20 DAY VIEW

NIGHT VIEW The 1:20 physical model of my final design is made of MDF and acetate sheets, the model is mainly used to test and investigate the patterns of the windows on the surface of the facade, explore the lighting quality within the space and its affect on the site as well. It is tested under two situations, during day-time and night-time. During day-time, the natural light has a significant influence in casting shadow and colours into the interior with the use of natural light. While during night-time, the lights within the walls projects colourful images onto the walls of the site.

M AT E R I A L S E X P L O R AT I O N

Low-E Glass | Window Film

Atherstone Buff Brick slip External Wall Atherstong buff is the most sustainable brick slip available in the UK, such slip contains recycled content. It is buff in colour and light in texture. It contributes to thermal mass which helps in reducing energy concumption, and has a <10% of water absorbing quality.

Low-E glass constantly improves solar and thermal performance, it keeps the space warm in winter and cool in summer, as it reflects UV light and sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heat in summer, reflects UV light but traps indoor heat in winter. It will also prevent your furniture, drapes, and carpet from fading through UV ray exposure. This helps in reducing energy consumption, but it is quite costly. Furthermore, it helps in reducing sound levels within the space, so silence can still be maintained even if it is located near a busy street.

Black Plaster Interior Finish Coat

Concrete | Footstep

Plaster is available in a wide range of colours, has the properties of sound-proofing, fire-proofing and high durability. It is used widely in interiors as it is easy to apply and provides a superior esthetics quality.

Grey Timber | Flooring Timber flooring has a high durability, and is spill, stain and chemical resistant. It is relatively lowallergenic, comfort and easy to take care of. It also is a natural, renewable and sustainable material, and has very high insulation properties, so it has the ability to provide a warm atmosphere. Low levels of energy are required for its production.

Concrete has great strength and durability, so it is actually very suitable to be used for footsteps. It gains strength over time and will not be weakened by moisture, mould or pests. It slows the transmit or heat moving through, thus reducing temperature.

PERSPECTIVE SECTION W I T H T E C H N I C A L D E TA I L S 1:20 Floor and Supporting Structure Details This is the detail drawing of the floor. As it is a timber frame structure, it shows the insolation that it can absorb the temperature and loading. Plywood is used to cover the structure of framing. To increase the intension of the floor, two times cement coat have been used. On the other hand, Waterproofing is used to isolate the water and humidity. Wood tile is being a finishing on the floor so it looks better. Also, It can protect the inside structure. There has a pedestal under the floor. It is adjustable and having a high loading so it can increase the level.

1:20 Wall Structure Details This is the major design in this building. The simple structure of timber frame wall has been used to transfer the loading. Bond coat and the thin brick slip is used all around the faรงade. The special item that it has to be pointed out is the glass with lighting fixture. When the light bulb is turned on, the colour projected by the photo slides inside the house will reflect to exterior glass, so that people can see some different color over the glass. Moreover, It can make people interest to look at the photos.

1:20 Roof and Wall Joint Structure The timber bean can be used to support and transfer the loading to the wall. So durock screw is using for connect the beans. Insulation remain be a neutral material. Exterior cement board and two time cement coat is typically used to protect the wall. The faรงade of the small building uses thin brick slip to compare with outside design.

PROJECT BRIEF In order to connect our design interests with the site, the brief is “The Exchange”, where the exchange mechanism has to be defined clearly for this major design project of the year. What is being exchanged? Information, products, knowledge, bonds and shares, nuts and bolts? Are these elements virtual, created produced on the site or brought to it? The basis for the Exchange mechanism could come from the previous Interchange project, but it might also incorporate a new set of ideas, which are based on the site research. Who is involved in the exchange, what groups of people are you catering for is also important. The Exchange has need to accommodate about 20-50 people.

S H O R E D I T C H I N V E S T I G AT I O N Shoreditch is a place that has a lot of art-creation related spaces hidden everywhere, such as photographic studios, art suppliers, equipment rental shops, event spaces, museums, galleries, etc. As the programme about the current project is about art production, so a further investigation on such spaces is done in order to get more information about the spaces needed, their spatial qualities and requirements, acitivities held within and how the spaces work together as a whole.

THE NETWORK OF ART As there are so many different types of art-related places scattered around, diagrams were generated to have a further understanding towards their inter-relationship and connection. The interaction and tie in between them are strong and cohesive around the site.

It is the programme breakdown of galleries, event Paces and art production spaces, so as to see what kinds of programme they have included and the scale of them respectively. It formulates my programme of the design.

SITE - 32 CREMER STREET, SHOREDITCH

Marquis of Lansdowne, 33 Cremer Street London E2 8HD The address of this pub was originally given as Thomas Street. It became 32 Harwar Street and then 32 Cremer Street. This pub closed in 2000 and lies empty. The pub was scheduled for demolition in 2010 but its current status is a space for an architectural office, where situated the firm Designersblock.

Timber Supporting Structure

Timber-framed Spine Walls

Solid Flemish Brick Walls

This can been seen clearly in the basement ceiling, where it reveals the floor joist that supports the floor boards of the floor above. This structure is used through the whole building, on the other floors as the support structure. Floor boards are placed on top of the timber structure.

Spine walls can be found in all the floors within the buliding, where they are actually the supporting elements to hold things up. For example, the spine walls on the top floor work as the supporting of the existing roof, without the spine walls, the roof will collapse.

This material is the majority of the building, where they are made of London stock handmade bricks, with flemish bond finishing. Flemish bond is where each course is done by putting headers and stretchers alternately. For each course, alternate headers are placed in the center over the stretchers of the below course. All of the alternate courses begin with one header at the corner. Such bonding is aesthetically pleasing and looks interesting.

Glass Atrium Double Butterfly Roof At the top part of the building, there situated the double butterfly roof, where the ceiling joist can be seen. The tiles or the original roof were replaced by glass, this allows more sunlight to penetrate into the space and created an atrium space underneath. The current roof structure is collapsing bit by bit, so it needs to be renovated in order to make it stand and stay safe in a long term.

PROGRAMME ART HUB - ART EXCHANGE As my previous project was about digital art exchange, I would like to stick my current programme to art again, it is a place that includes the whole process of art production, from creating art pieces, to display and exhibit, and finally selling or trading them as an exchange for money or art pieces from other artists respectively.

From time to time, auctions will be held in order to sell paintings, where all the artwork completed at the site will be brought to auction. This is an exchange for money.

Artists can move around and work freely around the studio space, so that they can exhcange ideas, skills and knowledge while working.

Art for art trading between artists and exchange knowledge / skills for art will be held in the trading station.

Artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residence is only for foreign artists who wish to stay behind and work, through this, they can exchange culturem skills and knowledge with the local artists. Such an exchange will help a lot in promoting local art culture, as well as learning from foreigners.

M O D E L T E S T I N G S & D E S I G N S T R AT E G Y Physical models were made to investigate the volume, spatial qualities and structural elements of the design.

STAGE I - RETAIN, REMOVAL & EXCAVATION This 1:100 model was used in getting a brief understanding of the existing building and how it can be altered and designed bit by bit. The East and South elevation were retained, while all the interior walls were removed and the basement was extended in height, length and width. So, the basement will have enough space to start building things up. An atrium that went through the whole building was added, so as to investigate and test the amount of light that can penetrate into the space below.

STAGE II - BREAKOUT OF THE BUILDING Another 1:100 model was made in order to have a further probe and development in both the exterior and the interior of the existing building. Three little parasitic cubes were added in the opposite side of the east elevation so as to have a clear separation of the private and public spaces of the whole design. A rooftop garden and lift were added to the building, and there was a slight change in the shape and size of the atrium. The model was used to explore how space can be used more efficiently and how users might circulate and travel among different spaces.

STAGE III - LIGHT ENHANCEMENT The 1:50 model was made to start organizing and locating different activities and programmes within the building, so as to examine the relationship in between spaces, how they would work out and benifit each other. Openings were inserted on the ground floor, which was as well the ceiling of the basement, so as to let more natural light penetrate into the space below.

STAGE IV - SPATIAL ORGANIZATION This was the second 1:50 model, it mainly focused at the design of the interior space with the use of the concept diagrams derived at the site investigation stage. Spaces were coloured according to the programmatic diagram generated at the previous stage, so as to make the design more interesting and to distinguish spaces according to colours. Details such as staircases and columns were added to help understanding circulation and division of space. The atrium was enlarged so as to maximize the amount of sunlight going into the space below.

STAGE V - APPLICATION OF DESIGN LANGUAGE The third 1:50 model was made in order to see how columns can actually be used in diving space. A clear design strategy was applied, where the â&#x20AC;&#x153;network-likeâ&#x20AC;? pattern from the site mapping was implied into the columns as primary structure and the light-well on the ground floor. The columns were the main supporting structure that hold everything together, such as floors and walls. Slanted walls were inserted according to the angle of the columns, which this method naturally formed the shape of the atrium.

LIGHT QUALITIES OF THE INTERIOR In order to understand the light quality in the space during different times, light tests are done with the use of the digital model. Light come into the place and casts shadows differently according to the sunpath and azimuth.

T E C H N I C A L D R AW I N G S OF THE PROPOSED DESIGN BASEMENT PLANS 1:100

MECHANISM 1 FULLY ENCLOSED STATE

1 3

The flexible type of wall can be fixed according to the need and activities happening in the space, it is the best way of partition walls in creating space that responds quickly to the needs of any size or work. The movable partitions can enclose as many as two private studios, where diferent events can be carried on into the spaces privately. With the sound absorbant material applied in the partitions, parties within the different spaces can have distinctly different atmosphere within, where people can hold private discussions and classes for a small number of people.

MECHANISM 2 ROTATING STATE Semi-opened spaces can be divided according to the need of the users, where people can have an idea what is actually going through all the different spaces when circulating between the partitions. There may have different activities carrying on but still the interaction and connection between people will not be affected.

3 1 1 4 2

MECHANISM 3 OPEN STATE Such an open state can be created by pushing all the partitions at a side, so that a vast open space will be available for huge events. It can be used as a large public studio space, open gallery space, or even a party space. It is always nice to have a welcome party and farewell party for the artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in residence.

Another interesting use of the open state is that everything can be happening everywhere like a chaos, so that to maximize the fluidity of the whole space and enhance communication among people.

INTERNAL VIEWS

OUTDOOR CHILLING GARDEN SPACE The garden space can be reached from the backdoor on the ground floor, where people can have a breathe of the nature. It is as well a designated smoking area for the users. There are loads of lightwells installed on the floor, so that people can peek at what people are doing below. Also, this is where the natural sunlight can penetrate into the basement, such interesting patterned glass panels have the ability in casting light in different shapes into the space beneath.

AUCTION SPACE WITH ROTATING GALLERY-STUDIO SPACES This is another view of the auction space, where the right hand-side is the movable partitions of the art studio and gallery space. This scenario happened with the partitions are in rotating state, so that people can movely around from a space to another space that are of a different programme. This is the time when different programmes are starting to blend with each other, as there is no clear boundaries in between spaces.

AUCTION EVENT From time to time, auction of the paintings created locally will be held in the basement, where the space is an open space, so that people that are not involved can also have a look at what is going on within the space, as well as viewing the art pieces. Bean bags are placed, where people can inhabitate the space freely according to their preferences. This is an exchange of art for money.

SECTION A-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1:100

BLENDING GALLERY WITH ART STUDIO SPACES

VIEW FROM THE ENTRANCE

Nothing is being fixed in the spaces, not the furniture nor the walls. With rotating the partitions, the art gallery will automatically blend with the studio spaces, this is clearly shown with the use of the colours, where the orange stands for studio spaces and the purple stands for gallery space respectively. The studio spaces situate right under the lightwells, so as to let users make good use of the natural light coming from the above, artists always enjoy painting with sunlight instead of artificial lights. This space can be used effectively for artists to exchange skills and knowledge when they work, discuss and share ideas among themselves.

This view can be seen right the entrance, where there is a small bar space situated on the left, a cafe area in yellow on the right. There is a bridge that connects to another cafe area and the kitchen in the middle, where it is as well where the atrium locates. Natural light penetrates into the atrium right from the above, since there is a lightwell on the roof that allows light coming through all the floors, right into the basement. The atrium is what connects all the floors and enhance the interaction and connection within people.

GLOWING IN THE DARK The trading stations are where private trading happens, when artists carry their works along the bridge, they will unintentionally promote art as well. The trading stations have the ability to glow in the dark, with all the colourful little lights glowing from the spaces. The colourful elements are actually the photo slides of the art pieces being lighten up in the walls. They are another form of the gallery spaces, where photo slides of completed art pieces are being put into the display area on the walls, so as to let people have another form of exchange.
