Pavement Design The arrangement of the surroundings and the access to the hills of the Acropolis and Filopapo in Athens.
My case study was Greek architect Dimitris Pikionis’s pavement in Athens. The landscaping around the Acropolis was executed with absolute respect for the historical landscape and ancient topography. The work is organized into five main architectural “themes”: the beginning and end of the ascent to the Acropolis, and the beginning, middle and end of the walk on Philopappos Hill.

SIGHT DIRECTION Visitors can walk to the hill and sit or stand on the nature stage to watch the different view. The trees provide a nature function which is to frame the site view.
WALKING SPEED Because of the topography change, visitors will change walking speed either go up or go down the hill.
SECTION In the path, some place are nature stage to watch the site view.

UNITS Identify four spatial units from pavement of Dimitris Pikionis’s design.
SUPER UNITS Combine 2-3 units mixing case studies from Dimitris Pikionis’s pavement and Superkilen of BIG and Topotek 1 to create super units.

PERMUTATION AGGREGATIONS
Take one super unit and array it ten times or combine aggregation and super units scaling two times or five times to create permutations.
We picked up one of aggregations from pavement design and one of super-units from Superkilen of BIG and Topotek to create a permutation. We looked the shape of permutation deeply and used Rhino to observe the permutation in 3D space. It inspired us a religious world “samsara�. Therefore, we decided to develop our project to a public cemetery as a park.

PERMUTATION: SAMSARA CEMETERIES We set up our project location in Guanyin Mountain in Taipei, Taiwan. Taipei is a crowded city, so many places have been used to build something, either for live people or dead people. Because “feng shui� is important to Chinese. In mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, people believe good location of feng shui will bring your family fortune. Especially the place locates on hill and face to river. Therefore, Guanyin Mountain is a good feng shui location for cemeteries. The key element of the new permutation project to us is combination of loops and social effect.

Materials and Patterns Pavement patterns have directions. It is an invisible way to guide people the walking direction as well as the color of stone also connects the nature environment.
SIGHT DIRECTION
WALKING ON THE PATH
Either visitor locates on the path or the building, visitor will have some view spot to see.
Visitor can see the buildings on different levels of the hill.
PATTERNS DISTRIBUTION
PLAN OF VEGETATION
Choosing four types of pattern from Pikionis’s design to the pavement design of samsara cemetery.
Design trees and grass to create different feelings as visitor walking in the path.

Direction of path is like loops which is the main idea of samsara.

MODELING The time we learned how to make a model. The most important thing I learned was using suitable materials to represent your concepts. Therefore, Wan and I decided to use the aluminum grid to represent the topography and how the buildings locate and insert the mountain.

SITE STUDY DIAGRAMS 12 team members combined diagrams of Observatory Hill in a one layer page.
Our site study is to observe Observatory Hill in University of Virginia. In the process, I focus on the feeling of steps, which means my diagram indicates what we stepped on when we walked in the forest and trails.

We use plastic boards which shapes are trees to indicate the canopy in the model.
We decided to make a pancake model to show the topography.

Hatch Runway Our group members are Kirk Gordon, Colin Gilliland, Ziyu Wan and I. Because both our projects are relative with water flow, people flow, topography and tree planning, we chose the location to create a short cut for linking two old path nearby the source of stream.
