Key Description: “Meta-Matter� is the matter of matter. The concept of the design is original, meaning does not have any established image, and the Space is created through the process of material generation. The material system gradually changes its materiality in response to the setting of specific functions and the atmosphere of space, organizing into architectural forms.

ISSUE INTRODUCTION Meta-Matter This is a research-based thesis, attempting to find the matter of matter, that I have called Meta-Matter. The concept of the design is original, meaning does not have any established image, and the space is created through the process of material generation. The material system gradually changes its materiality in response to the setting of specific functions and the atmosphere of space, organizing into architectural forms.

Autonomous Tectonic The process of matter is to gather independently or have an agent system, and it would create new methods with autonomous assemblies and collective construction through new machines and materials.

As a bottom-up development, this process attempts to practice extensibility, adaptability, repeatability and any number of aggregations.

Morphogenesis The morphogenesis is not only the study of matter and its generation of form, but is also based on using the energy of force to create a dynamic trail that produces different system of structures and changes of space.

Methodology In the steps of design, the particle units start with points by complex systems and generative algorithms, making a large number of discrete individuals grow and contributing to one or more faces of continuous geometry.

It divides into three different types: “Morphing of the point – Curve”, “Morphing of the curve – Surface”, and “Morphing of the surface – Space”.

A. Algorithm of Strcuture Column Column

Physical Model Taking algorithms of the multi-agent system to generate a new type of space. The new design method is based on the non-linear algorithmic process of generative form and it begins to operate a large amount of clustered logic with a powerful generative design strategy.

Real Construction Due to the complexity of the simulated Gothic space, it is not easy to build by hand. Therefore, it is planned to construct some of the simulated elements in the real space with the 6-axis KUKA robotic arm and 3D extruders.

By comparing the traditional and contemporary media of design, The existing method of architectural design was removed. The collection of multi-scale spatial elements blurs the boundary between form, structure and decoration, reinterpreting the meaning of Gothic church space; this meaning is the expression of force in structure and high spaces (e.g. the tower) emphasized in the traditional Gothic church.

D. Architectural Approach Design Strategy The design strategy is based on the form of geometry, accompanied by the interaction between the unit entities in the complex system, emerging as the shape. Through the nonlinear geometric system of design to reflect on the inherent hierarchical thinking in architecture, in order to blur the boundary between spaces and structures.

Site There are riversides located at Tamsui, Taiwan, with brilliant nature surroundings.

The design process attempts to use three different and analogous logic type of algorithms. Basic nature algorithms: “Wave of Water”, “Growth of Seaweed” and “Branching of Coastal plant”. And, these transfer to the Wedding plaza, Bell Tower and Chapel locations, respectively.

Site Plan N

Architecture First, the Wedding Plaza is used by the Wave of Water, one of the nature algorithms, to find the basic shapes. It allows people in pavilion to experience change of nature.

The Bell Tower, is used by the Growth of Seaweed to find the basic shapes. It provides visitors with the experience of different heights from the view at the tower.

Finally, the outdoor Chapel, is used by the Branching of Coastal Plant, and it provides residents with a place to hold worship.

Therefore, this design attempts to integrate contemporary parametric design, agentbased algorithms, computer animation s i m u l at i o n , v i r t u a l re a l i t y a n d ro b o t construction technology.

Re-examine the process of space design from a new view point, and it takes the "MetaMatter" as the starting point to integrate the new architectural design through the aforementioned skill, developing a new aspect of the Zeitgeist.

ISSUE INTRODUCTION This project was initiated from these observations to transformation in matter (like colloid). And, it takes three parts to implement: conceptual model, installation, space.

A. Matter (Conceptual Model ) Each material has different properties, and can simulate the transformation of material forming process, such as cement, metal, glass etc. The state of matter between the original and formed shape is the discontinuous time of materiality and is called the state of colloidal. This step attempts the micro-view through a computer to describe the process of form-finding matter, step by step.

B. Process of time(Installation) The process contains four forces: punch, drop, seep, and swirl, from inside to outside. Through the categories mentioned above, each of the physical states created by the computational simulation are used to the concept of installations, thus describing a section of the microcosmic material forming process.

This feeling of individuals will merely be perceived by a viewer, and is activated by the essence of them. Also, it strengthens the contact between the architecture and the viewers.

Time of Force

C. Nature and Mode(Architecture) Regarding architecture, this step is the transformation of the concept through the changeable micro-climate of the environment to create the place and produce activities between space and individuals.

Site The site is located along the riversides in Tamsui, and Tamsui old Street is a boardwalk-like area filled with shops, carnival games, restaurants and cafĂŠs, which attract many tourists.

This area is a great place to view the sunset over the Tamsui River. Vendors will generally start in the afternoon and stay open until the last MRT train at midnight, and visitors who arrive early can first walk around the town area and visit other local attractions, especially the nature spot.

The workshop consists of four parts.

1. Basic geometry construction.

2. Form-finding through physical simulation.

3.Utilizing oscillating tangential cutting machines to produce a physical model.

4. Data visualization and rendering.

The workshop is anticipated to stimulate new models for digital design.
