This is the modified vision done by Yazhuo Wang. I did all the modeling and design work on my own for this design vision. And this vision has been really different from the original work. It is not just a updated vision, but a new one which only used some of the inspirations from my original designning process. Original vision: Group Work done at University of Utah, School of Architecture Group Member: Jodi Gray, Daley Youshimura, Joseph Bradshaw, Whitney Hatfiel As part of the group, besides doing designing, documentation and construction work, I also did lots of job arrangement works,such as making a summery of the suggestions from our instructors, sending group members emails with work need to be done and make schedules.


Project 1 Parametric Screen Study period: Spring 2014 Second semester of Junior year at University of Utah Project type: Public building(Group project) Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. Professor: Krysta Mae Dymick Concept The concept of this project is to use a series of shading panels to cope with sunlight, especially the western exposure by providing shading with various patterns and make the coffee time more enjoyable. The panels can be adjusted with a control horn according to the sun angle in different seasons in a year and different time in a day.

ENVIRONMENTAL FORCE TEMPERATURE

General

Salt Lake City is located in Climate Zone 3. It is a semiarid climate with cold windy winter and warm dry summer.

Temperature

Winter is very cold with frequent but short storms alternating with sunny periods. Summer temperature is

high, but the humidity is low. Thus, the diurnal temperature range is high and summer night is generally cool.

COMFORTABLE PERIOD Comfortable Period

The comfortable period of Salt Lake City is determined concerning a series of environmental forces

such as wind, humidity, temperature. Salt Lake City has cold winters and hot summer. Usually, 47% of the time among a year are too cold. And the freezing

period usually occurs from November to April. 39%

of time in a year is too hot and dry. And the hot period usually occurs from June to September. Only 14% of the time in a year are comfortable. The comfortable period usually occurs in May and October.

This is also a modified vision. The original work is an individual studio project. And this vision is also really different from the original one. But I’m using the original concept of creating a constant exhibition flow. I only happened to find a different streamline when I was playing with strip balloon. That discovery made me so excited that I think I must make some change to my original design before I forget this idea. Even though I found the best streamline after the final presentation and even after my exchanging period, I still think that I need to build it out or I will regret this matter for ten or twenty years. And I finally spared some time to make it into the design.


Project 2 Unmusemn Study period: Fall 2013 Junior year at University of Utah Project type: Public building(individual project) Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. Professor: CONCEPT

Ryan Smith

The concept of this project comes from the guidance function of museum and creates a constant flow of walking ways and guide people to go through all the exhibition areas. By using different space types including semi-open space, open space and closed space to give people a different experience of visiting a museum. The harmonious with the surrounding area is a law that should be followed by architectures, but the design of Unmusemn should be different from ordinary museums. Therefore, I keep the same style in terms of scale, material and color as the surrounding buildings, while in terms of geometry, rhythm, structure, I choose to be distinctive from other museums.


Location

Site Analysis

World Location The site located at the junction of W300S and S600W. There are two possible sites that can be used, the advantages of the site on the north is relatively larger, the length

of which is almost equal to the width. While the site on the south have a better connection of Rio Grande Museum

and other the train station. I chose the north side of the site.

Population This population of this area is mostly mobility. Nowadays,

the Rio grande Museum is not as popular as it used to be. But there are still a lot of people will come to visit. There

are more people on the north side of the site, because there are many commercial buildings. Many international

students come to this neighborhood, because there are a lot of Asian restaurant. There is a train station leading to

Ogden. To sum up, the population here can be considered

Climate Region 14

Salt Lake City Located at Climate zone 14. Most of the days during summer month are sunny days. And Utah

area enjoys really good sunshine. So besides the original concept of creating a constant walk through. Bring daylighting into the design and create texture become the second priority of my Design.

This area is the hispanic place in Salt Lake City with large number of immigration. There are peo-

ple from French, German and Mexico. The site

used to be the German region. And there are still lots of Germany around. Nowadays, there are

even more immigration population than the past.

This shape is from on single line with its start and end tied to each other and twist with in itself.

I simplify the ring into a space curve, and then duplicated it into ten space curves. Then I adjust the control points in the longitudinal direction,to make them all different from each other. Then adjust the scale of some rings to create a wall like ribbon.

I changed the constant surface to make it flater so that people can stand on it. And I duplicated the modified surface once. So the top one serve as the roof, while the lower one serve as the floor.

again and then exploded it centrosymmetric. And then oint in the center of the cencale factor 2:1.

The design process, compared with the design of museum, is more like a space game. It enlarges the museum’s function of leading people, arranging the nodes as exhibition halls at the edge of triangular symmetry. When visitors walk along one line, they may feel the whole line only has the stairs upward and downward. The interest in visiting the museum not only lies in the exhibits, but also in the way of going to the next space in the design. Seeing two adjacent exhibition areas out the room, visitors find they come to another exhibition area after they enter the area and pass the channel. At this time, it is the curiosity that leads the visitors to find the way to the exhibition area they see at first. The design makes visitors see the exhibition area, but can’t enter it directly, adding a feeling of mystery to the museum.

Perspective The sense of rhythm is one of the architecture design fac-

tors what I want to express . For most of other museums. They play with lights and color ingredient or repetition to create rhythm. I’m more interested in the space type.

This museum has no interior wall. So people are experience through it without interupetion. So when people walk

through the whole museum. There are experience different degrees pf openness just like how they visualize color in-

gredient. And this unusual sense of rhythm is one of the reason it is call unmuseum.

Unmuseum | 20


CIRCULATION ANALYSIS The museum has a total number of nine

exhibition halls, of which three is semi-enclosed exhibition halls in the underground

area, three interior exhibition halls in the middle, which serve as the main exhibition area, and three exterior exhibition place on the roof

garen. Visitors walk throuth the open space outside, and go into the semi-enclosed un-

derground hall, and then gradually com-

ing into the second floor’s enclosed indoor

space. And at this floor,Visitors can still see the out side world through the gaps on the walls that are designed like ribbons.

The mose interesting part of tracing design

is that visitors can not get directly to where they want. For instance. When there are in

region 5 and they are going to region 4, they

usually walk directly to the direction of region

4. But actually after climbing the stairs, they succeeded in getting to region 6.

Human Demension analysis The ribbon wall is divided into three regions, the upper one, the middle one

and the lower one. For the upper one, transmittance is very small, letting in less direct sunlight into the exhibition hall. The middle of the gap is relatively

larger, so adult can easily see the outside world from the gap. The transmittance of lower one is slightly lower than the middle one. This scale is just

suitable for children who are arond 3 feet to see what’s happening out side.

Booth Design

Concept Generation Step 1

Step 2

Design The Streamline of Booth Turn streamline into walls The Streamline of booth divided the space into four part and add more layering to the design.

I turned the streamline into two solid walls that can block the flow of people, one of which is a little bit taller than the other. And when you can see them cross from the top view.

Step 3

Step 4

Trim The Wall with pattern Bring it into Unmuseum I cut off a part of the wall, so that people on both sides of the wall can see each other. And thats how people can interact with the booth.

I re-created the streamline and the surface on the curved floor of Ummuseum according to the logic of my previous. And now the booth is more dynamic.
