PREFACE This book is about dynamic system, data and morphogenesis. As a background, system and relationships are increasingly significant in the process of design, which is same as Mark Wigley wrote: Courses in statistical analysis became indispensable for architectural training. Spatial patterns would follow from detecting patterns in the flow of information. Design would begin with precisely calibrated charts rather than artistic sketches.

RELATIONAL MORPHOGENESIS ?

Architecture and urban design have been shifting dramatically owe to the development of system theory and digital technology in the past century. The territory and the city are widely recognized as overlaps of complicated and dynamic systems. As a result, to design is to engage with relationships.

RELATIONAL MORPHOGENESIS proposes a new methodology which offer highly hybrid condition for designers in a data-age. Its initial concept is inspired by Relational Urbanism Studio at Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. It deploys system theory, data visualizing approaches and parametric design methods as well as admit conventional urban intentions. All the context resonate together via building up a relational model. Moreover, it has bottom-up genes lying in the systemic morphogenesis. It treats data and materials as agents whose collective form or behaviours might contribute to novelty patterns.

In short, it is about material, agency, system and territory. It is a prototype to integrate Mathematical Model, Proxy Model and Digital Evaluate Model together to support new design process.

Athabasca tar sands are large deposits of bitumen or extremely heavy crude oil, located in northeastern Alberta, Canada. With this abundant energy resource, oil industry becomes most dominant to this territory. The land is covered by industrial landscapes such as mine pits, material dunes and tailing ponds. Among them, the tailing pond receives most blame from the public due to its large area of land destruction.

According to the region planning, the industry will keep flourishing for next 50 years. More urban lands will be need to support increasing population. However, almost 99% of the lands are leased to oil companies. The land shortage problem may therefore constrain the growth of the industry.

The most feasible way for the government to retrieve the lands is to have the tailing ponds reclaimed. However, update to now, only 2% of the tailing ponds have been successfully reclaimed and even so it took more than 30 year to accomplish due to its large scale. The inherent problem of the slow reclamation work is because of the paradox between material immanence and institutional regulation. When the institution doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply with the immanence of material world, the institution may become constraint of development. So in this site project, the urbanism protocol starts from reforming the way of tailing discharging.

As the site project is derived from a complex territory, which involves social institution, economy, ecology as well as landscape formation, a relational interface of mathematical model, proxy model and digital model can be an efficient instrument for designer to manage the complexity of the territory and interact with the design condition.

Athabasca is occupying by enormous tailing ponds and is facing severe formation in which the industrial mateirals run as agents. They brings out a paradox between institutional regulation and material immanence of the reclamation work.

By proxy model as an interface between designer and material system of the real site, the characteristic of material behaviour become perceivable and observable. From proxy model one can obtain feedback in the interaction with the material.

The digital model of seeds area, sediment area, erosion area translated from proxy model become essential to the whole relational model. Also, the result of digital analysis acts as the feedback to the mathematical model.

To accelerate the land consolidation process, obstacle patterns can create various terracing terrain as reclaimed areas.

Also the settlement of seeds(color sands) will indicate the phases in relation to the bio-remedy of ecosystem.

Site analysis provide important indication for urban morphology. Also, the result of digital analysis acts as feedback to a mathematical model which also consists of social-economy and ecosystem data. The proxy model thus couples other subsystems.

The protocol of the urbanization time scale is based on the sequence of reclamation.

As a result, the phases can be divided into 3 main categories, namely Phase 1- Bio Remedy, Phase II- Infrastructure Network, Phase III- Urban Cluster Settlement

99% of lands has been leased to the industry of which will be transformed into unprecedented scale Open-pits & Tailing Ponds. Those footprints have distinct boundary and inside which peculiar landscape formation is ongoing.

The large amount of wasted mixture of industrial material which contains water, sands and clay is called tailing. It becomes the agents which form peculiar industrial landscape due to the specific material behaviours.

The growth needs a large number of employees to support the development. Therefore, new urban areas are required to afford the increasing population. However, almost 99% of the lands in Athabasca area are leased to the enterprises at the moment. This situation leads to a conflict between industrial development and land shortage.

Tailing Delta Could Be Breeding Grounds for City The industrial materials and operation has led to the emergence of Delta in huge scale.

As we know, deltas are breeding grounds for city functions, which give the implication of transforming tailing ponds to appropriate landform for future city development.

1.2 Proxy Model By introducing the proxy model as an interface between designer and material system of the real site, the characteristic of the material behaviour become perceivable and observable. Moreover, the proxy model provides an opportunity to quickly obtain knowledge and feedback from the interaction with the material.

In the proxy model for the site project, tailing pond is scaled down into an operatable size, and alternative material such as different sand and water are used to simulate the tailing process. Realizing that not all the properties in real site condition can be modelled, this proxy model only simulate some of the properties that critical to the landscape formation such as erosion, sedimentation and waterway behaviour etc.

1.2.0 Acquiring Knowledge of Gilbert Delta Concerning the formation of tailing pond delta, it has similar mechanism with Gilbert Delta, a type of deltas that are usually developed in lakes[5]. Therefore, taking Gilbert Delta as reference, a scaled down model is set up to simulate the tailing discharging process and emphasized on delta formation.

Therefore the mathematical model is consisted of three parts, the social and industry part , ecosystem and built environment. By having external input from the social and industry realm, the whole system becomes and open system with more indeterminacy and possibilities.

Local reclamation plants strategy will help the soil remedy as the roots of plants have strong effect in solidify and cleaning the toxic soil. As there is evident time scale in plant growth, the reclamtion sequence and later urbanization sequence is hence greatly relied on the sequence of plants.

In brief, the research started from choosing a 'prey-predator equation', thus setting up the basic relationship model between four species in a lake (a single subsystem). The model is a dynamic system with attributes, factors and has its specific systemic features and criterias.

Amazingly, all qualities are concentrated in just a few alphabets-a mathematical equation.

Testing the boundary condition, building up coupling connection between subsystems, to see how to active “singularities” 12 which change the system.

In addition, the research regards visible forms as projection of invisible networks. By using computer scripts, the dynamic system can project its fluctuation of data flow, geometrically, onto the spatial pattern of material connections.

The research regarded data and material flows, invisible coupling relationship and the visible geographical conditions, as a continuous network. Sanford Kwinter once employed “Epigenetic Landscape” to offer a topological or dynamical model which can account for the potential energies:

Any change at all, no matter how tiny, will precipitate a catastrophe (a morphogenesis), forcing the system to find a new equilibrium in the newly configured field. 13

The 4 species chain is basic relationship in each lake (subsystem). The ascending sort of prey level starts form S1 (bottom), with S2 & S3 in the middle, and S4 at the top.

Plankton (S1) provides a crucial source of food to shrimp (S2). Grass carp (S3) is a herbivorous, freshwater fish species feed on S2. Snakeheads (S4) are at the top of the food chain in the system.

Interestingly, the system fluctuates steadily after a harvest condition is set up. The rule

is keeping each species amount not exceed a certain upper limit.

Local people can make profit from the harvest. Moreover, a long-term proposal can be put forward, that, part of the profit can be invested into develop new lake fishery, consequently expand the positive cycle.

2.3 System Coupling Lakes are connected by harvest, being linear and one way. Harvest will be put into next lake, and finally go to the city (Fig. 2.3.3). As a result, any harvest in lower lake will cause resonation in the next lake, with a delay. There are infinite numbers of situations dominated by infinite harvest point groups.

The data/ material flow direction and pattern are shown in Fig 1.7. Ecosystem in Lake 1 and Lake 2 are functioning as provider, supplying the exceeding amount beyond harvest value to Lake 3. And Lake 3 is the area for real harvesting to the city. The species population in each lake is defined by the harvest. The direction is linear and in one way. It is simple but good for researching how one change in subsystem will affect another subsystem. The coupling effect is somehow similar to the physical phenomenon resonance.

As the harvest points of each species of each lake various, there could be infinite groups of harvest-point combinations.

However, only certain ranges of them are within the tolerance of the system sustainability. Hence criteria are set up for judging and describing whether the contemporary condition of the whole system is good.

Fig.2.4.1 shows six of the results from hundreds of testing. In Condition 1, there is no harvest; in C.6, the system crushes because of over harvested. It is hard to conclude accurate criteria from just hundreds of testing. However, some tendency can be concluded from the graph materials.

The harvest is somehow the ‘singularities’. The massive shadow curve lines at the background show the tendency of changes in each species’ amount. And when there is no coupling occurs, the curve mass movement is steady and the tracks of lines are smooth.

However, when coupling happens, the line tracks are perturbed much and the curvature of the curves change huge in a dramatic speed. The tendency of curves is similar to the phenomenon which has been introduced by Waddington. As a result, the harvest (coupling) is somehow the ‘singularities’.

2.5 Coupling Visualization Coupling, or resonance, is the phenomenon that, the variations in one system are rhythmically felt or transmitted into the other, when two systems are connected. The system starts from Lake 1 and end up with Lake 3, being linear in one direction.

Choosing an appropriate method of mapping to visualize the coupling relationship is not easy. Many methods of graph drawing do not assign intrinsically-meaningful positions to nodes. Hive plot diagram was first proposed by Enter Krzywinski. It defines a linear layout for nodes, grouping nodes by type and arranging them along radial axes based on some property of data. It is chosen to visualize the matrix of test of coupling situation.

2.6 Optimal Phase Linear coupling, paralleled coupling in 3-lake system and 4-lake system are tested. Through control the change of the harvest sets, the outcome varies, and each can generate a visualization graph under the same principle. This is meaningful and helpful because through these graphs in the same visual language, it is much more convenient and straightforward to compare and evaluate the merit and demerit situation.

As a result, it can be concluded that, the tendency of getting to extreme point is: harvest lower preys (S1, S2) as much as possible, within the criteria, from Lake 1 & 2, then put them into Lake 3 to offer enough prey for S3 & S4.

When the data flow is generating its projection on geographic site, the relationship in control space is being translating into event site, and the data flow projection is material flow. The material flow is part of the physical world. As a result, it will change the surroundings somehow. In this stage, the diagram shows the relationships between control space and event space, data flow and material flow. Although the exact form of the projection is not clear yet, but it can be make sure that, whatever the form is, it is best to have the capacity of fluctuation and flexibility.

Bridging the Last 1 KM Transportation Plan & Urban Design Readjusting Scheme for SlowTraffic

03

Downtown Shanghai has a highly developed public transportation system which consists of metro lines, buses and public bycicles. The city also has a well organised road network for vehicles. For public traffic, the density of metro stations is high enough that you can visit everywhere by foot within 20 minutes after taking tubes.

Designing in these areas means that what you need to do is usually modification, as the government always have had design plans already. Xuhui District is one of the highly developed downtown in Shanghai. The only problem left is how to bridge "the last 1 KM" between tube station and specific destinations. Moreover, its newly developed waterfront is not-so-accessible as it is out of tube stations' 1-KM service radius.

This project first proposes a greenway plan for cyclists to solve the last 1 KM problem. It is based on existing road networks and it aims at connecting new waterfront with all the other good places of Xuhui in a rideable network. It then propose a modification detailed plan for a unnecessary huge pedestrian bridge.

Profit: Bridging Fragments of Xuhui Resources Xuhui District is the most significant area of Downtown Shanghai. It has abundant and various resources ranging from historic blocks, modern malls, renowned universities to waterfront open space. Metro lines and other public transportation approaches are also in high density here. However, the resources lack an accessible pedestrian network to bridge them. This situation is due to the old plans for Shanghai were proposed from an age for vehicles.

The whole conceptual process is pushed by models only. Every change and modification is directly derived from and immediately applied to the model.

As a result, physical models become the most efficient interface between different designers, government and developers.

Relational Morphogenesis

Efficient Interface for an Early Stage of Designing Designing by physical model is quite common in Europe but it is really rare in mainland China, as the design market is expanding and chasing quantity rather than quality. In this case, the early process is via physical models only. Every change is derived from and made immediately onto the models. Renderings and digital models are only put into use after the concept model is quite detailed.

Relational Morphogenesis

Straightforward Interface for Decision Making One of the most significant benefit of pushing the design by physical models is that they are 3-D. As a result, both the officer from Shanghai Government and the developers can communicate in time and the changes of each proposal are distinct. They can even try replacing each part of the model as if they are somehow designing by themselves. The interval time for decision making is surprisingly shorter than before. It is due to both the government and the developers can give their opinion as soon as in the presentation.

AWARD: 2012 CUPEN National Collegiate Urban Design Competition, 2nd Prize Held by 'China Urban Planning Education Network' [CUPEN]

Panlong Historic Village is the last undeveloped historic town in Shanghai. Convient access, good agriculture landscape are top 2 superiorities comparing to other old towns.

The project is about stimulating appropriate transformation in farming and industry to attract day trippers and bussiness tourists while preserving the pleasant spatial framework and offering new job opportunities to the local villagers.

Shanghai was born to and nurtured by river.

Nowadays rivers' importance are declining.

We decide to reset the status of Dragon River and enroll Dragon Village into the river tour system of Qingpu District which consist of many famous historic villages.

Jingze Village

ADHERE TO THE SLOW LIFE Shanghai is booming dramatically and citizens desire slow life, healthy foods and nature. It's clever to maintain the agriculture and leisure lifestyle which are attractive to visitors and profitable to the local at the same time.

ADHERE TO THE LOCALITY

Housing stocks in Shanghai are suffering from CRISIS: great separation of living and working; a growing number of aging population; urban morphology follows the same pattern......

This very residential site is next to a No.8 metro station and is surrounded by campuses and industrial parks. With the combination of 3 different functions and introduction of a green path of urban agriculture, it will benefit a lot via establishing a pluralistic and eco-friendly community and offer the area a convenient passing path and vivid street life.

Twisting Tower Highrise Building Design for Rubber Trees in Rainforest

07

AWARD: 2012 CTBUH Student Design Competition, Semi-Finalist Held by 'Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat' Rainforests are facing severe crisis of rapid decrease worldwide. The problem of rainforest area in Xishuangbanna, South China is caused by the rubber trees planting, same as the cases in other countries in south-east Asia. Since rubber tree industry contributes to the income of the majority of the local people and thus vital and irreplaceable we proposed to plant rubber trees vertically and spirally to return the land to rainforest... The rubber tower is not only a place to plant rubber tree, but also a mega-structure for the rubber industry and for the citizens.

1.BACKGROUND Rainforests, as the lung of the earth, are facing with severe crisis of rapid decrease and decession worldwide. The problem of rainforest area in Xishuangbanna, south China is caused by the rubber treesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; planting. In the passed 60 years, the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna has been decreasing dramatically as a result of Rubber Industry. Even worse, People involved with rubber business has rised from 0.5% to 45%. We locate our site in the centre of a surburb new town, which is inbetween the city and the forest.
