URBAN TRAP CREATES INEFFICIENCY THAT DENIES HISTORICAL PRIMACY

architectural gesture at city scale

Wall

False perception of scale

Visual dominance in the city

The researches in fall quarter discussed about two subjects: media and public space, and their intersections which are in forms of public interactive installations. The results of public engagement in creating public spatial experiences led to rethink the importance of public spaces that were designed with an oversimplified image of public and social relationships, which were primarily about production and speed in modern era. Moreover, the physical layouts of public spaces in Beijing were produced by

authority/power in control without any interest in provoking events nor sensational experiences except for mass desmonstrations for political influences Therefore the architecture is devoid of power and control and creates a statement that overpowering the physicality of existing history to engage public in producing social and cultural contents to ...?

Obscuring Flattening

When perspectival drawings were invented during Renassance, it is a humanistic idea to represent based on perspecitves. Human perspective is one of the agencies through which individuals experience environment differently from person to person. Art of various scales have applied perspectival illusion as a tool to conceal and reveal different meanings and perceptions of an object, a piece of information, or experience. As our eyes move constantly with our bodies, it is crutial to think how architecture is

flattened into a series of images but also work with spatial qualities to affect decisions and judgments of the observer. Architecture of censorship is a section of the study that deal with this process of graphical flattening of architecture to become a mechanism that produces surprises and anxiety as people move through the space. The ability of relating seeing to walking as a choregraphed sequence that contains media, arts, and events, where people become important to architecture in order to become enlightening and provoke actions, is explored here.

an object designed based on projection lines from four diminishing points has the ability to create an illusion of flattening and expansion along movement of eyes .

1.2

architecture censorship

3-D printed model is capable of replicating the accurate angle of projection lines that it follows

camera is not able to focus on object at the diminishing points where object is visually flattened. therefore the â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfect flatteningâ&#x20AC;? is not seen in this physical model via camera lens.

3D printing fabrication technique also results in arrays of lines from layers of material, which differentiate surfaces due to different degrees of slopes.

extension of time architecture doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only occupy point a and point b, but also in between

how to create architecture that conducts activities between destinations ?

Library on Escalator

Flaneur is the French word meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;stroller.â&#x20AC;? Walter Benjamin described it as an urban spectator , investigator of the city, and represented an archetype of urban space that rejects productivity in the industrial society. In our case, architecture that applies inefficiency as a design intent produces an extended duration of experiences and counterproductivity. The programmatic concept first revolves around creating the great walk, or circulation that is out of conventional scale. This

Museum on Escalator/conveyer belt

framework led to consider parks, museums, theaters, art galleries, libraries, parking, and hotels as well as water park, go kart, rock climbing, tea making, shadow play, Beijing opera, and fake mountains etc. Some can be combined with the circulatory path to create objects such as massive escalators, elevators, conveyor belts etc. For one, this strategy follows the intent to create inefficiency through manipulating circulation and that architecture is more than just point A and point B also occupies between point A and point B. For another, the spectrum of the activities has to cover every perceivable architectural scale

Theater on Evelator

so that the duration of times is extended and architecture becomes public. The definitive spectrum of activities/ programs of the project is not comprehensible due to the dramatic scale, overlappings, and density. However, graphic explorations such as collages and overlaying texts embodied an idea that collages together seemingly unrelated public activities as a means to new social behaviors.

conceptual model / iteration i

I began with a analog conceptual model that employed basswoods and bristol paper that spoke for a scheme resembling billboard. The condition of the site, which is skinny and long, informed the usage of linear vulumnes. The opaque paper enclosed the model and revealed certain spaces, which became graphics on the exterior facade. The basswood sticks were placed to represent three potential architectural elements: circulation, structure, and creating negative space for prgrams. Sometimes wooden sticks intersected with the

paper and created various tectonic relationships: hiding, protruding, intersecting, revealing, etc. These were as spaces that maybe become occupiable. The opaqueness of the paper raised the question of porocity. How porous this project is? Both visually and spatially. Maybe the opaque thin paper could be reiterated in a way to be occupiable. Maybe the quality of a surface can become either more vulumetric, or somehow it can aid to enhance spatial experiences by receiving projections.

sticks are weightbearing columns, frames, structures, holding up surfaces

moment II sticks are programmatic spaces revealed by the skin, displaying activities, events

moment III sticks punctuate skins and intersect with other sticks to create a hierarchy. Symmetry of an axial organization creates tension between space.

moment VI sticks become sculptural pieces creating chaos and geometries confusing rational readings of the buildings

section, section, section.../iteration ii

Departing from the first iteration and moving into digital, the second exercise focused on spatial relations at human scales which was not conceivable in the first analog model. In this series of iterations, I used similar geometries to carve out voids instead of treating them as solid masses. The voids were carved out by cubes/tubes of different dimensions with a constant question of how occupiable the void would be for humans in different events and scenarios. The exercise gave an insight into the scale of this project. [the

solid mass was first divided by planes set 10ft apart, and the division lines became a graphic scale during the process.] This exercise also only focused just a chunk of the project. It discovered a malleable relationship between car driveway and public space. Cars could be stopped by the cut of the driveways and became objects of display for the adjacent public space. Moreover, activities in public space are given the capability to cut off and take over roads by dispersing people who crossed the blurry boundary between a driveway and public space. This relationship between the

space where people own their agency of changing and space for control, power, and speed resembles tactic urbanism.

overlay, patterns, grids...

With this iterational exercise, I am exploring a way to populate over the site with certain modules that could be generated from overlaying 2d patterns. The technique to derive three dimensionality got inspired by projections of patterns on the top of each other to generate figures/geometries that have correlations with the original 2d patterns. This technique also achieved a result of dissimulating original geometries which became less recognizable and distinguishable from others.

The chosen 2d patterns are mostly repetative on x and y axis, with various densities and sizes. However, the projected shadows became the background of one layer and foregraound of the other. Maybe linking surfaces via diaganal projection lines, there could be potentials of affecting the volummetric readings of masses and a misreading of 2d imensional surfaces

After concentraing on creating an in a section of the road, parts are pulled apart (inspirations coming from the exploded drawing in previous page) to populate over the site, as it was the very initial intent that the pattern study would inform a way and certain types of grometries to occupy the

site. Modules were color coded and the drawing is taken directly from Rhino as a process drawing to try to subdivide the clusters of geometries smaller pieces to accomodate different programs.

the precedent of parc de la villette by OMA informs an organizational strategy of distributing programs that a building mass is sliced vertically into equal pieces, and then stitch them together through mobile structures that are also sites for programmatic uses. the purpose is to maximize encountering of the public as well as dispersing them into undefined spaces for unexpected interactions, gatherings, and events to happen.
