Our project is the representation of utopian world that has unlimited access to natural systems and meets individual demands. The experiment became significant element in our project. We believe that new residential building has the responsibility to help people complete their life and give them the potential transitions between body, imagination, and environment. Based on created inventory, we used its geometry logic to create circulation patterns. Interaction and adjustment of human behavior to water bodies became our inspiration. Located next to several Mies van der Rohe buildings, our exterior pattern is an iteration of his work while interior breaks Mies circulation logic. Except the elevator and fire stair which are direct means of egress, we designed the circulation that resembles mountain roads which bend deliberately up. Incorporated dislocations, skew confrontations, irregularities, and polyrhythms can arise our bodily, muscular, and haptic experience. The goal was to build a promenade architecture. From the bottom to the top, the atmosphere becomes more quite and peaceful. The apartment units begin from 30meters height up to 100meters. Each floor has eight units located in four corners to make sure each one has city view or lake view. At the same time, we break wall between apartments and public circulation patterns to increase interaction with water. Zooming in to each apartment’s design, the loft unit brings better light and wide view. Instructor_Mauricio Pezo & Sofia Von Ellrichshausen
Lake Fragments
Inventory Models After used the geometry logic to simplify the lake shape, those abstrcuted shapes were made into three different height volume(15mm,10mm,5mm). Used its geometry logic and height to create circulation patterns.

Process Nature has always been something given to human beings who had to adjust to its rules. After we occupy all program and ensuring to observation of functional basis, we start thinking about how to create different atmospheres and show the levels increasing progressively. Back to the main idea and also the original idea, a new residential building has the responsibility that help people completing their life and give them the potential transitions between body, imagination, and environment. The circulation and interaction with water became our inspiration. Except the elevator and fire stair which are direct circulation, we are trying to design a circulation like mountain road which frizzles deliberately up. The incorporates dislocations, skew confrontations, irregularities and polyrhythms can arouse our bodily, muscular and haptic experience. Because of treacherous circulation, the person inside constantly changing body position and view of regard, finally he will forget about the building. How to build a promenade architecture is our main goal. like the first atmosphere and the second, they are connect a set to annular stair.
