Abundant space in the city

-Monumental Architecture Design

Type: Group work (Contributed to the full design process, building 3D models. All of the indoor renderings and half of the analysis diagram)

Location: Cape Canaveral, United States

Project description: This project is located at Caravelle Point Air Force Base in the eastern United States. The base is located on Launch Complex 34, which has witnessed two important sub-events in aviation history, the Apollo I rocket fire and the first manned flight rocket launch. Through XR technology, the project serves as an experiential pavilion for the Apollo I accident and its impact on the history of spaceflight that followed.

The display content is divided into two parts, so two organizational modes are adopted. The problem of space can be transformed into three aspects for cognition, boundary, scale, and shape. Make distinctions between areas and control the streamline. For example, design an exhibition space in the plane part and a space in the vertical direction. This can ensure that the two parts are both independent of each other and closely connected in space. Ensure the continuity of visits .

What happened to Apollo 1

Rocket launch site

Chapter 1

Visitors enter the story from the first-person subjective perspective of the three crashed astronauts, and sit in their seats to experience the astronauts' operating procedures on the day of the crash.

Chapter 3

Fisrt stage: they can read background information of the accident.

Second stage: Experience in simulation cabin

Visitors can look into the hollow part of the disc and see the AR virtual rocket model of each part and the animation demonstration of the improved model based on the accident.

Chapter 4

They can walk through the 'rocket' (Cylinder) and watch the inside and outside the details of the rocket with VR technology.

Visitors can look at the outside part and see the AR virtual rocket combined with the real launch site to launch into space.

The story is the last to look forward to the future. You can use AR eyes to see the future development in this spiral tour route.

Visitors enter the lower part of the tower, put on AR glasses, and enter the story from the first-person subjective perspective of the three wrecked astronauts, and feel the story decades ago on the rising ramp.

Visitors enter the second part of the tower, which is divided into an inner circle and an outer circle, where visitors can feel the proportion and structure of the real rocket.

At this time, the tour route has risen to the middle and upper floors of the tower, and tourists can look outside to see the AR virtual rocket launch into space combined with the real launch site.

At this time, the tour route has risen to the highest level of the tower, and people can experience the development of future aerospace technology in the spiral route.

Gaffer and Architect

•Logline: A young lady who is paranoid that a doctor at YuZhenTang (a Chinese medical clinic) killed her mother and embarks on a revenge plan to get the criminal into prison.

•Worked as the gaffer and combining scene lighting design and architectural space design. Using architectural knowledge to help the crew complete the structural design and construction of the shooting scene.
