01 COLLECTIVE GROUND HOUSING COMMUNITY

University of Michigan Core Studio Group Work Teammates: Yue Lu, Anjelica Hope Perez Instructor: Craig Borum, Claudia Wigger Fall 2019 Coupled with the dropping general population but the rising statistics of the elderly demographics, Japan was in the challenge of aging society for a long time. Aoyamadai, one of the low-income housing community in Senri New Town, Japan’s first large-scale new town project after WWII, is facing a dilemma situation: on the one hand, after 50 year’s existence, the economically affordable housings need replacement, and the elder communities need fresh bloods; on the other hand, the community is lacking in attraction to young generations, however, the original residents could not afford the cost to transform the existing community into a mixed-age, youngsterattractive one. How could Aoyamadai regenerate into an open and vibrant community without laying pressure on the former elder residents? In order to achieve this, the concept of “collective space” is put forward. By introducing rent-out spaces in different aspects - public space as well as units, the economic pressures are shared by renters with business demand. Additionally, people who are brought in the community by commerce also play the role in activate the district.

In Japanese society, based on the constant changing of the individual’s society role and constitution of family structure, people’s demands towards their living space also shift. For most of the low-income population, due to their income limits, they spend their lifetime within the same apartment, despite the space sufficiency / insufficiency caused by the increase or decrease of family members.

In addition to this, the public spaces in low-income community are condensed to reduce the housing cost, lead to the lack of communal facilities, public vitality and sociality. In order to solve these problems, the conception “collective space” comes forward. The kernel of the collective space community is rent-out spaces. By providing rent-out lower floors as commercial space and offices, the community is able to balance the selling / renting price of units. More communal spaces are introduced to attract people stream as well as serving for residents. Besides, some of the units are designed with puzzle rooms – an independent room that could be used by owner or rent out for increasing incomes, to accommodate the fluctuate of family members.

02 VIGILANCE IN FLUORESCENCE

F L U O R ESCENT M E M ORIA L P YRA M ID 2021 Evolo Competition Group Work Teammates: Jie Liu, Shijia Liu, Yucheng Gao Winter 2021 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster was one of the most severe nuclear accident in history, leaving unresolved issues and ongoing impact to all mankind. In 2020, the Japanese government has decided to pour wastewater into the ocean and let the ocean dilute it. Once Japan discharges nuclear waste, it will leave an irreversible negative impact on humans, other creatures, and the planet lasting for generations. Considering the potential nuclear pollution for the whole planet and people’s careless with the nuclear waste treatment, we propose a fluorescent memorial pyramid for Fukushima Daiichi plant. It not only disposals the radioactive water, preventing the wastewater from being pour into the ocean; but also works as an ecological and environmental warning, reminding people the tremendous hazard of the nuclear pollution with the fluorescence generated from the radioactivity of tritium. The project consists of two kernels; one is radioactive water disposal system: to convert tritium - the main radioactive material remaining in radioactive water into electrical energy beneficial to the development of human society; the other is fluorescent water tower: to take use of radioactivity of tritium to create fluorescence as an alarm to elevate awareness of human towards the double sides of nuclear power.


BACKGROUND

PURIFICATION

Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster was one of the most severe accident among the nuclear accidents. On Mar. 11, 2011, Tsunami hit the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three reactor cores melted down. To prevent the leakage of radioactive materials, Tokyo Electric Power Company used water to cool the reactor core, and the cooled water became radioactive wastewater. After preprocessing, tritium - a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, cannot be removed. Not knowing how to deal with radioactive water containing tritium, Tokyo Electric Power Company stored them in water tanks.

Developed by Tokyo Electric Power Company, the pur substances except tritium. First, strontium and cesiu water is recycled to the reactor core and concentrate.

In 2020, the Japanese government has decided to pour wastewater into the ocean and let the ocean dilute it. Once Japan discharges nuclear waste, the wastewater will be affected by the warm Pacific current and will spread to the North Pacific for the first time and reach the west coast of the United States. If nuclear waste water is discharged into the ocean, the efforts of fishery practitioners in the past decade will be in vain.

As tritium is radioactive, it can excite fluorescent proteins to emit light. The molecules is able to absorb energy from radioactivity of tritium to reach a higher energy state, corresponds to the absorption. Then, the absorbed energy is able to be released through light radiation, corresponding to the fluorescence. 2.5

Tokamak Reactor Plasma enters the nuclear fusion device, generating nearly unlimited electrical energy. Fusion, is a potential source of safe, non-carbon emitting and virtually limitless energy. The tokamak is one of several types of magnetic confinement devices being developed to produce controlled thermonuclear fusion power. As of 2020, it is the leading candidate for a practical fusion reactor.



03 ART GENERATOR

MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT Zhejiang University Core Studio Individual Work Instructor: Gao Yujiang Fall 2016 Chelsea, a famous art block with more than 400 world-class galleries, is an agglomeration for artists in New York. Most of them live and work here, absorbed in artistic creation, hold exhibitions and sell art works. This mixed-use development is an exploration on the relationship among four kinds of people: local artists, traveling artists, local residents and tourists based on the cultural background of Chelsea. Local artists choose to live beside their studios in consideration of convenience, but they need to face with the problem that visitors may interrupt their private life; traveling artists are beset by problem of entering local art circle; local residents and tourists could not fully appreciate modern art and post-modern art due to the lack of guidance. By reorganizing basic programs needed by artists and visitors, This project tries to solve these issues and creates spaces satisfying the need of interaction and independence.


PROJECT STATEMENT

There are more than thousands of galleries, museums and non-profit art agencies constitute the artistic ecology of New York. As a culture melting pot, this city not only accepts different kinds of people, but includes all kinds of art as well. This project, art generator is a mixed use, accommodating local artists, traveling artists, tourists and inhabitants. Here, the art is not isolated from public, neither is a simple result. It provides an opportunity for public to comprehend the birth of artworks, working process of artists and their working circumstances. In addition, artists themselves are exposed in the social network that assists them to communicate, gain knowledge and burst inspiration. The project is composed of five basic programs: auditory art experience center, theaters & auditory-art artist dwellings, gallery & visualart artist studios with dwellings, living facilities and hotel. Going upstairs, visitors could experience various forms of art: it's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get.

SITE ANALYSIS

The site is located at Chelsea. Since 1990s, with the decrease of galleries in SOHO, plenty of galleries moved to Chelsea with low-rent at that time. Now this legendary area is occupied by approximate 400 world-class galleries. Meanwhile, the Highline Park, stretching from the north to the south of Chelsea, links buildings with galleries hiding there. The project is on the south of the core area of gathering galleries, interacting with surrounding art institutions. It also echoes with spreading studios, theaters, and auditoriums. The culture of Chelsea provides a splendid art circumstance for the project, while the project also injects new vitality to the region.

According to program relationships and different art forms, the exhibition space is divided into two parts: auditory art area and visual art area. Auditory art area is a multi-media art center with art forms of music, film, game, drama, etc. Visual art area is on upstairs in order to provide a quiet circumstance for both visitors and artists. Then Living Facilities and Hotel is on the top of the building with security and privacy.

Auditory Art Experience Center

Then, for better working, living, recreating conditions, space is refined and recombined. Auditory art area is divided into three parts, one is auditory art experience center where auditory art artists work and visitors enjoy artworks, one is theaters and auditory-art artist dwellings, another is auditorium where need large space. Gallery, visual-art artist studios and visual-art artist dwellings are in related space for stimulating connection among artists. Meanwhile, to protect privacy of artists, the visitors’ sight is guided by walls and windows.

04 ADAPTIVE ACOUSTIC CONCERT HALL

University of Michigan Thesis Group Work Teammates: Maksim Drapey, Yubei Song Instructor: Matias del Campo, Sandra Manninger Spring 2020 According to Darrell M. West’s report, artificial intelligence has three qualities: Intentionality, Intelligence, and Adaptability. This thesis project explores the adaptability of acoustic design in specific architecture. We are proposing a human/AI collaborative design that will focus on creating spaces that alter and accentuate acoustic features in architecture. Architecture is a field that is highly dependent on a system of visual orders. In line with this point of view, we start by considering if the visual appeal of architecture has overshadowed other qualities and criteria by which architectural design may be experienced. One such undervalued and often overlooked criteria is sound. Within our project, we would like to explore the possibilities of how sound can influence the spaces we design through the implementation of an AI-driven platform for architectural-acoustic experimentation. Based on an initial data set of 2000 concert hall interiors, our neural network will be trained to generate its own interpretation of acoustic spaces through the adaptation of existing volumes into an acoustic form. Our AI-driven device can be used to help influence early stages of design for concert halls and acoustic music spaces. Through this process, we are poised to consider opportunities for collaboration and shared authorship between ourselves and Artificial Intelligence.

DATABASES

For our dataset establishment, we used plans and sections from the book Concert Halls and Opera Houses by Leo Beranek to generate original 100 meshes of the concert hall interior database. Then, we extended 2000 models from the original 100.


WEIGHTINESS OF PARAMETERS

By using the control variate method, we draw the conclusion towards the ranking of impact factors, that is, mesh form, mesh count and volume will have the greatest influences. Silhouette image, height, width, length to width ratio, height to width ratio take second place. Camera angles will also impact on the outcomes to some extent. Seats, reverberation time, acoustical absorption area, volume per seat and absorption coefficient have the least influence towards the results. The slight differences they cause are hard to recognize directly.

RESULT / SIMULATION MATRIX For our final results, we would like to test our neural network within an unusual site for a concert hall - an urban context. We choose two sites, one for a small concert hall, around 300 people. The other for a big concert hall, around 2000 people. Those are the 44 results and simula�ons for our 2 sites. We used different shapes of input meshes, mesh counts, space and acous�c parameters. Some are really good results, but some are less func�onal. The ellipse shape makes it easier for the network to reshape the output mesh. As for acous�c simula�on results, the performance of sound waves is visualized through simulated par�cles. A range of results can be seen demonstra�ng how sound travels within our forms.

05 THE LAST GUARDIAN EARTH WARE MUSEUM

Zhejiang University Core Studio Individual Work Instructor: Chen Lin Spring 2016 This project is located at The Hathpace, the old streets of Kashgar which lie in the southwest of Xinjiang province. The Uighur name of the The Hathpace means earth ware from high cliff, which came from the tradition of earth ware handicrafts from ancient times. However, the situation has changed these years. Due to the concussion of modern life, young people tend to flow into cities rather than stay in old streets region to inherit the earth ware handicrafts from their parents. This has a correlating effect on the community of The Hathpace, causing community values, traditions and cultural identity to be lost. The project aims at both earth ware handicrafts and the recognition of earth ware culture. The building is significant in different ways for different users: a production base for handicraftsmen, a community center for local residents, and an exhibition platform of earth ware culture for tourists. Considering that the earth ware handicrafts have a unique and complex making process which is most attractive, a new pattern of exhibition is created to satisfy tourists’ expectation on both visiting and experiencing. Tourists are able to observe the whole making process as well as participate in learning at their interested parts.


BACKGROUND Tourism Héytgah Meschit One of the biggest mosque in China. In ancient times, it was used as educational institution for Islamic culture.

Shache Tomb

Kashgar Brick Tuman Bridge Mosque This is the channel between new Kashgar and The Hathpace.

Eastgate Bazaar T h e b i g ge st m a r ke t i n Kashgar, providing tourists and residents with local specialty and daily supplies.

Abakh Hoja Moore Pagoda Tomb It was built in Tang D y n a st y, a n d wa s used to give sacrifices to Buddha.

Kashgar is a city famous for tourism. It was one of the Four Garrisons of Anxi and the most important station in Silk Road in ancient times. Moreover, it is a must for tourists to go when they travel in Xinjiang province, just as an idiom says "without come to Kashgar means haven't come to Xinjiang province", showing the essential status of Kashgar in Xinjiang province for tourists. People come here for Islamic architecture, and also for Aywang, a kind of traditional vernacular house designed by Uygurs. The Hathpace is a habitation composed of Aywangs, and the residents there are famous for their craftsmanship.

Generation of The Hathpace

11TH CENTURY

PRESENT

19TH CENTURY

16TH CENTURY

Approximately 2000 years ago, The Hathpace was formed by the force of nature. About 1000 years ago, ancient Uygurs began to settle down in The Hathpace. In order to resist rainstorm and flood, the residents constructed their house on high terrain of The Hathpace originally. About 800 years ago, An earth ware craftsman found a kind of earth suitable for manufacturing earth ware called "Segezi" in The Hathpace, and he opened an earth ware workshop. Since then, a lot of craftsmen started their earth ware workshop in The Hathpace, and this region became blossom. Earth ware products gradually tightly linked with Uygurs' life. Their bowls, washbasins, pots, jars, barrels and lamps, even cradles were made by earth ware. As more and more people moved here, they constructed their houses on low terrain in The Hathpace, and finally occupied the whole zone. Then, with the growth of population, people began to construct their houses on the cliff side. These houses have entrances on both sides of The Hathpace and the flat. After the original residents had their offspring, the space were not enough for their daily life. So they added another floor on their former houses, providing space for their sons and daughters. However, with the increasing of generation, they still faced the problem of lacking in space. So the residents there added rooms above the streets, and formed different house styles such as "street-across building", "half street building" and "suspended building". And finally it forms the urban fabric in The Hathpace now.

Structure of the Aywangs In The Hathpace, the most common structure of Aywangs is raw soil and timber structure. Besides, there are also other mixture structures. The prevalence of the raw soil and timber structure is because of the pervasiveness of these two materials in The Hathpace. The residents there could obtain raw material locally, without paying too much money. Also, Aywangs constructed by raw soil, bricks and timber are good at climatic adaptability, providing a circumstance naturally warm in winter and cool in summer.

Nine Different Space of Alleys There are more than 20 alleys in The Hathpace. Each of them is of different width and space, due to the casual construction of vernacular houses there. In order to resist gale, most of the alleys are T-shaped roads and dead-end roads, so tourists are easy to get lost in The Hathpace.


HANDCRAFT PROCESS

The earth ware making process has more than 50 procedures, and fundamentally pertains to 11 steps. Handicraftsmen need to prepare not only clay but glaze as well. They have their workshops right beside their dwellings and organize each procedure in limited space. Craftsmen transport clay from suburb, pound clay, screen clay, mix material and knead clay. These are preliminary work of earth ware making. Then they blank and dry earth ware in the air for 3 to 5 days. After that, earth ware with flaws will be pound into clay again, and completed ones will be kilned and glazed. Painted earth ware will be put in the sun for some days, and that's the whole process.

ANALYSIS OF THE HATHPACE

There are a lot of factors that influence actualities of The Hathpace, and each of them interacts with others. The nature decides the uniqueness of The Hathpace as well as it’s cultural values, which should be preserved. Strategies should be taken to improve tourists’ experience in order to vitalize tourism in Kashgar.
