Inspiration Reasons For Research Information Is An Alternative Truth Introduction

Living in the new media era, we have to receive a variety of information every day through mobile phones, computers, etc. But the network is full of huge amounts of information, emotions and opinions, and many people's reason and judgment, but also because of going with the flow and dissipate the suppression or do not think about the whole information, led by its nose........

Humankind lingers unregenerately in

Inappropriate

The information is processed into an alternative truth and then disseminated. At the same time, personal beliefs and appeals to emotions are added to the processing of the information to better shape public opinion and to compete for audiences to satisfy their own interests.

Inappropriate treatment of information by the recipient

Based on research and analysis of the China New Media Development Report the China Internet Development Statistics Report, it was found that the majority of people use new media to obtain information, and social media is most important type of new media to obtain information, while people do browse deeply enough for information, and most people do not think to judge and verify the authenticity of the information they receive and forward.

When we give up on truth, we concede power to those with the wealth and charisma to create spectacle in its place. ... If we lose the institutions that produce facts that are pertinent to us, then we tend to wallow in attractive abstractions and fictions...

Site Analysis

Zeche Ewald Fortsetzung is located in a hard coal mine in Oer-Erkenschwick, the Ruhr Area, Germany, which was put to use in 1904 and has been demolished since 1997. Only Shaft No. 3, its tower, the tower's winding engine, and the administrative building survived.

History

Significant historical events that took the annual production reached a peak

1899

The shaft began sinking on June 1, laying the foundation for the development of the recovered Ewald mine.

Site

Yield

There was a period of the typical totalitarian regime in the history of Germany. During World War II, the resources for the heavy industry of the Ruhr area played an important role as the material basis for Nazi Germany to wage war.

Administration Building

Used for handling the administrative affairs of the coal mine.

Shaft Tower

It is the core of the mine's surface structure, a key stronghold for coal mining. It is responsible for transporting mined coals, personnel, supplies, and equipment up and down the well.

The Shaft Hallway

It is connected to the tower as a platform for transporting the mine and personnel.

Winding Engine Room

The winding engine is put inside to provide power that lifts and lowers the cage inside the tower.

Ewald was closed from 1931 to 1938 because of sales difficulties due to the global economic crisis. In 1938, it finally resumed operations.

Demolition work was carried out. Only the administrative building, hallway, and engine room of Shaft No.3 were left intact.

Diagram for the Shaft System

The diagram shows the mining process and its underground work, and the different positioning of staff reflects the hierarchical nature of the system.

Used for lifting coal mines to the ground surface

The annual production reached a peak during WWII (1943: 1.44 million tons).

The recovered Ewald mine and the coking plant were integrated into the newly established Ruhrkohle AG.

Time

While becoming a part of the Ruhrkohle AG and meeting the needs of national development, it needs to reach 1.47 million tons of production.

Ewald Fortsetzung during World War II fueled industrial production, making the mine machine could not function without its supply of primary power.

Fortsetzung became to totalitarian ruling period of absurd history.

Typological Theory

Create A Imaginary Past By Typology

For Moneo, one of the most central themes of architecture is the connection between architecture and the history and memory behind it.

Moneo's Approach To Typological Design

1.The Type Abstraction Phase

Nazi Party Congress Hall

It is the site for the Nazi Party to meet and make decisions and regulations in line with the design goals of the Truth Factory.

Olympic

It became a rare propaganda stage for Hitler in history, which matched the design goals of the Lecture Hall of Truth.

The Moment Of Typology

2.The Type Localization Phase

The phase of searching for and deciding the types: Abstract types from historical memory, look for representative building types that meet the design goals (e.g., types that fit with people's behavior and psychological structures), analyze their internal forms and structures, and further combine and abstract them.

The Moment Of The Formal Definition

The designer adopts the selected type as the basic form of the structure and responds to the specific requirements of the design. The process includes the deformation and transformation of the type according to the actual circumstance and the surface structure's localization of the environment.
