CASE
STUDY
SHAONAN CHRIST CHURCH Shaonan Christ Church has a very distinct series of curved roof derived from circles in section, with different radius and placement arrangement.
The openings between curved roofs soften the light in a way to make the lighting of the space comfortable as a worship space.
Hypothesis : Curvature Effect on Lighting Condition Curvature exploration on the existing roof of Shaonan Church shows significant results, and it was concluded that curvature of building component affects lighting condition inside the space.
15
Thus, in this project, curvature of building component is the focus of exploration, with a chosen component to be a the internal partition walls in a library.
GEOMETRIC
OPTIMIZATION
Galapagos As the design focuses on a partition-like element, the variables in galapagos simulation are degree of curvature of the partition and the angle of rotation to get an optimized-well lit space based on the calculation on (daylight availability - 3 x overlit percentage) as overlit is the condition that we are trying to avoid as much to create a comfortable space to study in an opened environment. The cubicle is simulated in a room with glazing facade on the south side. 1

Illuminance (lux) 21 June 1 pm
Different location in the room is having different daylighting condition, and we are interested to design such that the quality of each of the space is optimized even though it is located in a bad location. The simulation is run in a room with glazing facade only on south side. In this stage, we decided to change the upper scale to be 500 to really fit the range of reading space lighting requirement

MATERIAL
ENGINEERING
Rammed Earth as building material made from compacted recyclable soil composite is proposed to be an ideal replacement of concrete as a common building material which is more sustainable with low embodied energy and strong potential for automated pre-fabrication. Re-engineered mix with exploration of natural additive to improve its strength has resulted in coconut fibre to be the most effective additive, with final product properties as follows:

AERODYNAMIC
IN
PINE
CONE
Factors Causing Aerodynamic Effect 1
Scale Shape Each scale is in a double curved with a profile that will allow smooth wind flow passed through it.
Female pine cone as reproductive organ is aerodynamic in nature due to its role in wind pollination process. The scales around the core stores the pollen should be brought by the wind to be pollinated to the male organ, thus this plant organ is able to disturb the wind flow and swirl the wind deep into the scales.
2
Fibonacci Spiral Scales are arranged in fibonacci spiral in both direction but with different number of spirals for each direction, causing an organized asymmetrical shape.
Other than that, wind that comes from the windward direction is turned back to the leeward direction at the other end of pine cone such that every scales of the pinecone is reached by wind 360o.
Windscaper 34
MOVEMENT
OF
PINE
CONE
Pine Cone is hygroscopic induced in its movement, caused by swelling fibers arranged in different orientation to cause bending movement.
These bending movement is analyzed to be mainly occurring on the first 3/5 part of the pine cone while the end of the scale is having little transformation on its curvature.
Replicating the movement in soft robotics, swelling air chambers inspired by PneuNets actuators are used to induce bending movement. 35

Resettlement Village 42
RESETTLEMENT
Villages in China are getting demolished to make way for cities development, forcing villagers to be resettled in a completely new environment to their villages. This project intended to design a resettlement village for the villagers that meets their needs while creating a better affinity with the urban dwellers in living together in a same neighborhood. 41

NATUR
RALISATION
INTO
URBAN
ENVIRONMENT
Resettlement Village 42
Ongoing current of urban environment builds living space vertically in a high rise settings, in order to solve the problem on urban density. In translation from urban way of living, this trend can be redesigned in a way where villagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; land are stacked up instead of arranged horizontally, and similarly to the condition in the village, there are more freedom in determining the use of the piece of land that they own compared to a common urban high rise dwelling, including number of levels of their individual house. The default state of the village is mega structure with light weight modules arranged in between structures.

Resettlement Village 44
RENTAL Most villagers back in their village are no longer working on their farms, as most farms had been sold to a mass producer to be done by migrant workers for a more efficient production compared to small scaled dispersed farms done by individual farmers. In introducing similar mode of economy while preserving farms in urban environment to ensure supply of worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demand of food, farms will still be a part of the village where villagers are supported in giving rentals to the migrant workers working on the farms.

Level Difference Around Site
Inspired by the condition around the site, this project emphasizes level difference in creating space of privacy, integrating level decrease instead of only level increase. This basement-like space allows unique interaction between public space on the ground floor and private space below, and application of a natural bamboo facade retains the privacy level required for certain spaces. breaking down massing to units to maximize daylight reception for everyone

Open basement with a unit-a block concept, giving more space between neighbours, maximizing open space around each of unit where interaction between neighbours is most likely happening. Upper floors are in the same unit concept, connected by series of minimal corridors, reducing blockage to the openness of the basement and also overall space within the complex.
