THE NARRATIVE EMERGENCE This academic project focuses on the application of robotic design method in the research of sequential space, the experience of serial scene, and the relationship between atmosphere, human, and branding. The most recognized obeject within this topic, is a mobile marquee which travels along a designed path, follows certain schedule, acts as a catalyzer and activates different segments of an architecture. The process of the marquee being exposed as storyline changes, is called the narrative emergence. NikeTown Hybrid Architecture & VR Design Tutor: Greg Lynn / Julia Koerner

Motion Prototypes Scene#3_Roof Terrace Screen At roof garden position. marquee docks to the end of the trial and becomes part of the environment, working as an overhanging stage grid, making the roof garden an circus auditorium and a showcase for Nike hybrid complex and experience hall.

Scene#2_Performance Grid

During night, marquee also stops at beacon position, showing sale or performance information, making the building more visible as a landmark.

Scene#1_Screen & Canopy Theatre prototype is an application of the logic model. With an animated marquee moving along the surface of the architecture and stops at different positions, it activates the circuit or flowline of the architecture. As it is used as a preshow platform, multimedia screen, grids and also part of the main stage, the marquee plays the role of a platform on which stories are bing told. The unity of this design makes the architecture responsive and with initiative. As an interface between context and ingredient, society and individual, exterior and interior, market and merchant, the architecture is the medium in which material, emotion, behavior are formed, exchanged, and consumed. The beauty of the architectural movement relies on the formation of scenes, where story is facilitated. And the schedule is the script of movement. In the scheme, movement of the marquee starts from the very left, being used as a preshow stage and information screen. As time goes by, it slowly moves into the interior space and becomes an interactive element for the commercial area to activate the indoor atmosphare, as well as to promote the business. When the show starts, it keeps on moving until it reaches it’s position above the main stage, where it will connect the stage to the props room and rehersal room from which the performers could get prepared and show up in a surprising way. During the show, the marquee also moves and rotates to help the performers to achieve their goals. When the performance is finished, the marquee will continue moving to the outside, and again becomes an exterior element of the architectural system.

At this location, the marquee works as both screen and a stage. Tilting towards one direction so that people could see the information on the screen, and tilting towards another direction so that performers can perform above the traffic and be seen by the public.

The third prototype is a combination of cirque theater, night club, retail, gallery, and restaurant. At the main entrance, there will be a plaza as a public space , from where you can go upstairs to the night club. Another entrance is located at the opposite elevation which could be used as the entrance of gallery. Up on top of the building is the restaurant, which is designed to have a view axis towards Culver City. Stage is located at one side of the building and there is also a truck loading space for Cirque Du Soleil. Marquee will move along the designated path. First position is above the plaza, second is fixed as a canopy, second is engaged with the performance room and the third is engaged with the roof terrace. During the procedure around the third position, it can also join the inside space and be part of the amenity. When you are not at a bird’s view, you can’t really tell the position of the marquee, but it’s always somewhere around you, and most likely, unexpected.

Inertia Measurement Unit

To keep the room in the marquee horizontal at all times, an arduino based inertial measurement unit prototype is designed to help rotate the room to an anticipated position. In the prototype model, two servos are used to achieve this goal. The images are screen shots of a video showing the marquee being rotated by the robotic arm yet the self-balancing system is still stablizing the room. 27

Swarm Intelligence Simulation

PHANTOM PERFORMING ART CENTRE Architects as we are, we always say that there should be light or there should be a window. Aesthetically, we are making a building more beautiful, but is the design scientifically functional? The most accurate approach should be that based on scientific analysis. In this case, this project is based on virtual simulation of swarm intelligence inside a complex site with both social and topographic attributes that attracts and avoids the swarm. And the project is also developed with the help of sundial analysis and wind tunnel analysis. As a result from scientific analysis, the configuration of the building will be more reasonable and comfortable, since the shape of the building and the roomsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; location are based on the behavior that the swarm gave in the simulation. By studying the environment and carefully designing the inner space, prosperity, activity, and convenience to the building are ensured, making it an excellent center of performing art for university students.

3 actions are defined for the swarm to behave. The first action is wandering. This behavior occurs when the context doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any obvious attributes to make the swarm make a reaction. The second action is seeking. This behavior occurs when some area or points in the context have the attributes that are attractive for the swarm. The third action is avoiding. This behavior occurs when the set point is seen as unpleasant to the swarm. The swarm will try its best to get rid of the negative attribute. Strenth of the above behaviors is based on avoidance/ attractiveness. The site is staged based on surveyed degree of avoidance/attractiveness, and therefore a swarm intelligance simulation could be executade. Over simulated pieriods of time, a point cloud file could be generated and the density map of the points is then used as guidance of the design process.

Depth Map After the profile of the massing is set, depth map of the interior space is then used to locate different programs. Usages that are more public, such as cafe, hall, rehearsing rooms are located in the shallower positions while usages that are more private and silent, such as offices, meeting rooms are located in the deeper spatial position.

SHOPPING MALL DESIGN The site of this project is among the most aged area of Jinan, a Chinese city with a history of more than 3000 years. To extend the local conventional commercial distribution, as well as to continue local urban context, the concept of this project was set as to absorb the texture of small scaled streets, and reapply the pattern to a large scaled commercial mall. 30

YOUTH HOSTEL DESIGN The topic of youth hostel design is to apply the spirit of site to the design of the building. By researching local context and the character of the city, a design logic that could realize a multi-level of spatial interaction with the context and also produce a series of public communication space was developed. As the site is located near the train station of Jinan, it carries a lot of history, thus providing a reason to fulfil the spatial existance of simbolic elements, and also to broadcast the spirit of the city to the back-packers is very important.

VILLA OF SUBLIMATION In out lives, sublimation is needed. Some people might prefer to settle themselves down to a current situation or fighting to reach a better one, but the others will chose to strive so hard to endure a long thorny journey to find spiritual fulfillment. Experiencing the spatial stimulation could bring the inner peace as well as new understanding of life. Especially when it comes to a situation or scene set by architects to sublimate your consciousness. In this design the idea is to strenthen the relationship between building and landscape and mimic a spatial experience via architectural description.

INTERACTIVE CUBE It might be the result of modernism ideas, that nearly all artificial structure are rectangular shaped figure. But we are made by god with curve: every part of our body is of curved figure. From the caves in the mountains, where our ancestors lived in, to the womb, where we lived before our birth. Streamlines make a space comfortable and snug. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how the concept comes to us. What if we build a space that has a strong combination of both rectangular figure and streamlined inner space?Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that result in a perfect form of both beauty and functionality? Given the mission to build a device that could motivate the atmosphere of the hall of SAUP, we designed the 2x2x2 interactive cube,which could display a pattern on its facade with the current rhythm from a music player that is plugged in it.

Type:Team Installation Work Site: 3rd Floor, SAUP, SDJZ University Date: March-December,2012 Tutor: Hui Tong, Yun Xia Main Designer: Yin Jiang, Yingnan Bao, Ziqi Pan, Chen Ling, Yang Wang. Role in the Team: Leading Designer. In charge of 100% coding, 80% circuit, 40% form design, 20% on structural design and material research, 90% on filming and animation. Published on Gooood Design at: http://www. gooood.hk/Interactive-Cube.htm See our Video on Youtube: http://youtu.be/ RKI5KJoErEA

Phase 1 : SCM Wooden Board

During the first phase, we used a single chip microcomputer to decode the spectrum of the music being played, and turn the signal into visible static and dynamic patterns. As the user sits down and plugs in his mp3 player to the controlling board, a beautiful facade will show up right in front of him. Meanwhile, the built-in speaker will play the music with great quality. In this way we make the cube an element that could motivate the atmosphere on the 3rd floor of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.

Phase 2 Revival with Arduino Several months later, when our team went back to check the installation, we found that the SCM board was stolen. To maintain the function of the cube, we decided to fix it with a more interesting interactive behavior. We decided to use Arduino, together with the help of different units, including ultrasonic unit to detect the distance between people and the cube, infrared unit to detect existence of human body, microphone unit to detect the noise that people are making, and power transformer that turns 220v alternating current into direct current, to fufill our design proposals. By coding in Arduino, I made the cube sensitive to those signals gathered by the modules above, and was able to turn those signals into different types of patterns in a much more interesting and interactive way.

Overexposure makes it embarrassing for people to stay within the site. Everything you do here could be easily exposed to the people from the CAUA building and the road. And another reason of this phenomenon is that there’s no bench or seat for people to use. Our design is to correct the problems given above and to add more active elements to make the place more popular.

THE COCOON PAVILION The site of D.D.P.C. installation construction project is located on the western grass of the CAUA building. The purpose of this project is to improve the current landscape usage so that people walking through could take fully advantage of the landscape instead of simply watching the plants. Type:Team Installation Work Site: Inside the university campus Date: April-September,2013 Tutor: Hui Tong Team: Main Designer: Yingnan Bao, Ziqi Pan, Bo Liu, students of D.D.P.C*,and other team members Role in the team: leading designer , planner, and organizer; 50% form design; 50% detail and structure; 30% material research; 10% assembling

To provide enough privacy, we used the concept of “Cocoon” to bring a sense of being protected, in the meantime, the section shaped pieces keep the transparency so that previous landscape won’t be fully occupied by the pavilion, and people around the pavilion still possess a good view towards bamboos and trees.

Published on Gooood Design: http://www.gooood.hk/Cocoon-Pavilion-By-DDPC.htm or also on EIGHTSIX: http://eightsix.co/chinese-design/architecture/cocoon-pavilion/ See our video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH99xJGX-0U 37

The segments were designed in a way that could be easily prefabricated, assembled and locked in the field. The fabrication took about 3 days, while assembling and finishing the project was achieved in only half of a day. The light weight PVC densed foam, as the material we choose to us for the main frame, made the assembling safe enough to do without any heavy equipments. The chosen material is also very resistive to severe weather conditions.

We also researched on human body and structure details. We added three benches on the pavilion, one for public transportation, and two for those who are using the pavilion. To keep the seats comfortable, we densified the slices in the sitting area. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, we also carefully designed the height and the curvature of the bench and the shape of interior space according to the region of body movement of a standing person to keep the inner space comfortable. 38

Cross-Disciplinary Works

CRUX_DRONE_OPERATION_SYSTEM Crux drone operation system is an independent project solely accomplished by Yingnan Bao. During the research phase, the goal was to thoughly understant the complex industrial control method behind the fast reaction bahavior of a drone, which not only includes the data filtering and calculation algorithm, but also uses dual PID control as base function so that it enables the drone to excute a fast reaction to atmosphare disturbance or the command sent from the controller. During built-up phase, the firmware and hardware are retuned to maximize the automation and control mechanism. After that, a more advanced user interface is designed to enable visual programming so that it becomes an open platform that could be customized and used in different industries.

Basic Mechanism Think the system as two independent systems, each of the helicopter is affected by a reversed counter-force, causing each of them rotating constantly towards the opposit direction of the rotational direction. But when connected as one system, those two reversed counterforces balance each other so that the whole system is stable. This is the basic mechanism of a multicopter. By manipulating the rotational speed of each motor, additional functions of stabilizing the drone, or maneuvering its movements could be achieved. M2 M1

Although theoretically a drone could be controlled based on mathematical methods, in reality, multiple elements could lead to a theory-based control system failure. Different status of motors, balancing of the frame, battery voltage or weather, all of these could be a reason of control system failure. Thus a control system that could surveillance the system and give out a corrective value simultaneously is needed for this task. As angular acceleration is the most direct parameter that effects the gesture of the quadcopter, and is determined by the rotational speed of the motors, the best PID subject is estimated gesture, angular speed, and output that could effect the rotational speed of motors. Under this circumstance the quadcopter could balance it self pretty well as long as a gesture error value is inputed. However, to take control of the drone, the first parameter that you would like to control from the quadcopter will be the anticipated gesture angle, which is not angular speed as mentioned above. In this case, another PID controller that links estimated gesture angle and angular speed output should be introduced to the system. With these two control systems, the quadcopter should be well controlled one Kp, Ki, and Kd is set to a correct value.

A proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller) is a control loop feedback mechanism (controller) commonly used in industrial control systems. A PID controller continuously calculates an “error value” as the difference between a measured process variable and a desired setpoint. The controller attempts to minimize the error over time by adjustment of a control variable, such as the position of a control valve, a damper, or the power supplied to a heating element, to a new value determined by a weighted sum: U(t) = K_p * e(t) + K_i * SUM(e(t)dt)+ K_d * de / dt Where K_p, K_i, and K_d, all non-negative, denote the coefficients for the proportional, integral, and derivative terms, respectively (sometimes denoted P, I, and D). In this model, P accounts for present values of the error (e.g. if the error is large and positive, the control output will also be large and positive), I accounts for past values of the error (e.g. if the output is not sufficient to reduce the size of the error, error will accumulate over time, causing the controller to apply stronger output), and D accounts for predicted future values of the error, based on its current rate of change.

UNSTABLE STABILITY Robotic design method is one of which could push the extreme of architectural design. Its precision, dynamic and controllability strengthen itself and contributes to the fine finish. But what if we reverse the procedure, utilizing the robotic technology not to fabricate the final work, but to engage with the whole procedure, and indirectly participate controlling not only the exterior form, but also attributes of the enclosure? At the very beginning, the concept of our project was seeking the equilibrium between the inflation of the balloon and the restriction of the wires, meanwhile, having the robotic arms control the rotation so that we could research the relationship between form and attributes of the casted material, such as thickness, gloss, interior texture and so on. After the discovery of the interesting relationship between the subdivision of the surface and the ground, our concept was pushed forward to capture the gravitational stability of a rolling motion with the previous knowledge of robotic motion control. We started our project by a series of material tests and then picked up plaster, among cement, resin, and other materials, as the most desirable material for its fast-solidifying quality and durability after

certain post-processing. The precisely cnc-fabricated identical moulds are designed to be installed onto the robot arm with different placements of the balloon to generate a sequence of similar objects with distinct gravitational centres. Having the robots be engaged with the motion of the mould system parametrically, we took control of the flow of plaster, designing a precise motion and specific position for the majority of casting material to stay so that the finished pieces would have different gravitational stabilities, yet in an unstable representation sequence.

NANO SECTION By mimicing the growth of barin coral, a simulation of minimal geometry of the space between the ridges and valley is emerged. We focused on surface analysis and utilizing the robotic cartography including robotic 3D scanning and high resolution macro video capturing with industrial robots to analyze topography and complexity of organic surface and reproduce a surface of brain coral. We first 3d scanned the brain coral with KUKA robots, and extracted the geometry features, which was later on used as a guide of reversed pattern study. When the extraction was accomplished, it was cnc milled as a mdf negative mold, which was used to produce a concrete positive mold. Together with a PETG mold that we produced with the mdf mold, we assembled 2 sets of molds and produced multiple composite fabrication products to express the design concepts.

Extracted Macro Geometry Research

We developed a trategy to mimic the macro growth of brain coral, which is a voronoid based algorithm. As series of cells grow and occupy a bigger colony, they will finally meet each other and produces a relationship of allies, where independent colonies merge into ridges and continue growing, and finally form the valleys as their feeding groud. Starting from the study of Brain Coral, whose pattern is consisted of series of ridges and valleys, grown in an organic voronoid-like way, we 3d scanned the specimen for the macro pattern research.

Extracted Micro Geometry Research Plastic Film

Through the utilization of high resolution macro video capturing, we ware able to get a very vivid vision of the smallest image specimen that we could every get. By studing the figure-ground relationship, we rebuilt the minimal surface of the brain coral and refined the geometry to meet our fabrication requirement.

We used multiple digital fabrication method to produce the composite mold, including cement casting, cnc milling, and vacuum forming. Finally we got 3 molds: the MDF mold, the cement mold, and the vacuum formed mold, among wich the vacuum formed mold possesses the most outstanding feasibility in being laminated on.

With the fabricated mold, we managed to fabricate series of composite lamination products in the process indicated in the diagram. Layers of wax keep the mold intact and mold release helps when taking the product out of the mold. Eglass faber is laminated with composite resin for 5 layers and finally sealed with plastic film and valuumed so that the geometry attributes could be kept.

CAR ROOF MFINGERBOT Car Roof MfingerBot is a sarcastic art work. With built-in RC controller, the mechanism is even more complex, and the goal is simple: a cool solution for road rage. Whenever your line is cut, you don’t have to risk your safety to shrug with your hands, or cut the line back. The only thing you need to do is simply accelerate, and press the botton so that the robot on top of your car will do the work for you. Simply safer and cooler, right? The flowline design of its shape features a very low air friction, making it no burden to your vehicle power. Both the robot and the controller have a 2.4Hz communication module so that they could talk to each other wirelessly and give you the freedom to install it anywhere. Coding solely accomplished.

VR/AR PROJECTS Upon graduation, I kept my research in VR/AR technologies, designing professional architectural VR experience applications for my firm so that the clients could understant out architectural design better. My personal research also led me to the field of Qualcomm Vuforia based augmented reality. With the help of Qualcomm Vuforia as a plugin for unity, it is possible to develop the augmented reality utilization with Oculus, rather than virtual reality itself. Using a specific pattern as locator, it is possible to relocate the 3d model virtually in unity, and overlay the relocated 3d model on top of the vision that the camera captured, and resend the visual information to oculus, so that the user could see the 3d model floating on top of the real object. This could be an ideal technology in cases such as product showcase, prototype revision, internal communication and so on.
