Situation: Skyscrapers have played an essential role in metropolis. As a kind of high volume building, skyscraper should be located in the center of city. Tokyo as a potent example uses relative small area of land to accommodate large population working there. A series of problems appear in reality. igh volume ratio buildings own large density of people and humdrum office environments. It makes persons who work in it get more work stress and have some unhealthy life-style in usual. Solution: Entertainment unit should be placed in the skyscraper. It would activate humdrum interior spaces and support users to take exercise when they want to have a rest. Combined with vegetation, these units should own many landscape points. It could help air conditions change uality of interior air in the daytime and reduce machines work time. In fact, the project is fit for not only Tokyo, but also other metropolises in the world.

CONCEPT
In north of China, there is a kind of fossil distributed in many province areas. It is formed by ancient worm accumulation. It has porous structures and own characteristics of water absorption. This fossil is not only used as geology sample for research and education, but also used as ornamental stone in Chinese bonsai. Refer to its structure and shape, it is often used as base to plant some vegetation in its holes. It has many kinds of mineral substances. Its structure could absorb water from bottom, when its bottom is being buried into water.
Finding the most appropriate shape from pipes groups, it should own porous structure and keep worm-like shape. Through controlling change of parameters, over-fragmental shapes and over-tight shapes should be gotten rid of these shapes group.
FORMING PROCESS The selected shape is not the final shape. The shape should be layered to suitable for building structure. So, the shape would be deconstructed and rebuilt in layered way.
RANDOM GEOMETRIES
1. Random points are layered by height. 2. One layer is used as one group in cube space. 3. To simulate the process of accumulation, add layer one by one.

The number of entertainment units depends on the number of oors in the skyscraper. Every ten oors as one group need one unit to support users’ requirements. There is a skyscraper which has three entertainment units. ocations of these units also need to be optimized and calculated. 1. Setup three same units to separate the skyscraper into four parts averagely. . sing method of exhaustion to calculate all possible arrangement of these three units. (Putting first unit into skyscraper to calculate the best location. Some floors which are already satisfied needs would get rid of the building. Putting second unit into skyscraper continues to calculate the best location and then get rid of needs already satisfied floors. Putting third unit into skyscraper calculates best location. ) . sing normal distribution optimizes all possible results to approach the best arrangement and changing sizes of three units. 4. Panoramic elevators are placed on exterior wall of the skyscraper. Three units would build up connection and constitute one uniform system.

CONCEPT Ancient currency is a symbol of history in this city culture. With time going on, the shape of bronze money does not change too much. They are often connected by a series of ropes in ancient times. Nowadays, archaeologists dig them from the earth. Museum owns many exhibition halls, just like money tied on ropes. Every exhibition hall is relatively independent, but they are often looked as unification when they are used. Cultural Research: Collage Of City Image

Main buildings should be placed in the site. The vegetation covering of the site should be increased at the same time. egetation covering levels should be higher than old urban areas . arden and urban s uare play important roles in urban landscape. It o ers education and exhibition in the daytime. It also makes people have chance to touch nature and have places to relax.
Old urban area has better vegetation coverage than other new urban areas in this city. With time going on, more and more apartments appear and gradually replace the traditional houses in this area. The building density has been increased in economy rise. People would live in urban concrete forest gradually.

Situation: With time going on, Maribor as a historical city has become an industrial city. egetation can control air pollution efficiently, but green land of the city does not distribute averagely. These people who live in less vegetation area could not get cleaner air than other areas’ people. Solution: The city need one kind of building which could make all people share green land in the city. It could overcome the overbalance of vegetation distribution. The building would be like plants growing and own organic shape. The process of constructing should be natural and random.

. According to areas of urban green land, large urban oases have stronger in uence in other smaller urban oases. These oases will build up connection between them and several nodes would be formed by these oases. . These nodes are ranked by oases size and number. The biggest node is used as the primary node. The main building would be built on the primary node. Other nodes in urban areas are used as secondary nodes. These remaining nodes in suburb areas are used as suburb nodes. . Part of these buildings is formed by connections between the primary node, secondary nodes and suburb nodes. The other part of buildings is built up on the centers of nodes. Two parts of building constitute a network of buildings which is covered on the city. The network of buildings would make sure overcome the overbalance of green-land distribution.

INTERESTING THINGS
I like making some little-machine and models in free time. Delta is one kind of open-source D-printer. It is handmade by myself. Materials are purchased from online or factory. With studying Processing language, I begin to touch Arduino board. Some commands are similar with processing commands. oard driver codes are found in open-source community. The modification of codes, depending on reality, is changed by myself.
INTERESTING THINGS
These two pages show many things which are created by myself. These contain paintings, sketch, illustrations, models, paper folding, open-source printer and some investigation photos.
