01 PROJECT TYPE: PEOPLE-ORIENTED LOCATION:ANYWHERE DATE:NOVEMBER , 2021 PERSONAL PROJECT

Human built houses to shelter them from the wind and the rain so as to achieve harmony between man and nature. However, people began to violate the original intention. The design of the later generation caused the conflict between the emperor and the ordinary people. The design intent of the ancestor is to benefit all humankind and help people meet basic demands like food and clothes. However, it became the knife of the ruling class and created conflict with nature and ordinary people. Therefore, the original intention produced harm to people's lives, and this is the so-called "alienation."

When the concept of "people-oriented" is replaced by "desire-oriented" or "benefit-oriented," "alienation of design" comes into being. The inner desire makes humankind distort "human-centered" into "selfish," resulting in the conflict between "heaven and man" and "man and man" and "man and himself," and finally produces the alienation of people's minds and cultural alienation.

Under the influence of social attributes, architecture cannot ignore its natural fact because it is the first attribute of anything. We should also evaluate and consider the significance of architecture from the angle of nature. Therefore, architecture is the result of natural features and social attributes.

My models perceive people's behaviors.They respond to people's upcoming behaviors and change their form to adapt to people's behaviors. These models will help explore the concept of "humanist" and "anti-alienation."

A man was going to jump off a building

Someone broke the chair

A bunch of Slimes get together

A man is sleepy

Two sets of Slimes meet

The Slimms tried to reach the light on the floor

The other Slimes were so busy talking that they didn't notice

The Slimes were astonished to see the vandalism

Slowly divide into two parts

He lay down and fell asleep

The Slimes start talking to each other

The Slimes are going to stack the chairs up and down

The Slims were horrified to discover that someone was about to jump

Every Slim has a different reaction

Split into four groups again

The Slims find the man asleep

They got distracted by their own business after the conversation

All slimes begin to fold chairs

The Slimes hurried to stop the jumper

Some Slim ran away in fear

One person felt the noise and picked up a chair and left

Then start joking

A man began his speech

The chairs were folded and a man stepped on them with the help of the Slimes

The Slims were relieved that the jumper had been stopped

Finally, the Slimms pick up the pieces

She left

Prepare to hammer him awake

The speech brought the Slimms together again

She reached the lamp on the ceiling

The achievements of the so-called industrial civilization made human life more and more distant from nature, but it was not long before people found that the conquest and transcendence of nature were being "revenged." This is the question of what people call "alienation," and it is being raised with increasing sharpness.


MORPHOLOGICAL EVOLUTION

CALCULATION LOGIC

Area A/Approaches, the target at speed S1, slows down to speed S2 and finally meets the mark. When they meet, the speed is zero.

The number of specific sticks that satisfy the areas A approach A at a constant speed slow down when they are K away from the object, and when they make contact with the object, the speed rate is zero.

Area range (B1-B2), hit the target with speed S3 (the acceleration is A1). When the hit occurs, the target speed is not 0.

03 INSTANTANEOUS SCENES PROJECT TYPE: DANXIA LANDFORM LOCATION:QIYUN MOUNTION,CHINA DATE:FEBRUARY , 2021 PERSONAL PROJECT

The development of the Danxia landform began with the Himalayan orogeny in the late tertiary period. This orogeny tilted and softly folded some of the red strata and uplifted the red basin, forming outflow areas.

The evolution and samsara of the Danxia landform take hundreds of millions of years to develop. The evolution of Danxia is condensed so that people are involved in the remaining space of the weathered rocks. I create a process where the greater the force of nature on the rocks, the greater the remaining space (the more functional space left for people) is reflected in the design space, where human behavior moves from walking in narrow spaces to open spaces. (Increasingly functional)

The water concentrated in the low-lying area in the middle of the basin and eroded along thevertical joints of the rock formation, forming a deep groove with two vertical walls, called the lane valley.

Danxia landform is in its prime With the collapse of the wall of the zanjon, the colluvial heap grows upward, covering the bedrock surface also expands. And the bedrock below the colluvial heap forms a gentle slope in the same direction as the slope of the colluvial heap.

Danxia landform develops in the old age The collapse retreat of the cliff face also causes the summit face to gradually decrease in extent, forming landforms such as fortress-like residual peaks, stone walls or stone pillars.

A space derived from the rock changes of the Danxia landform over several years as a technique.

Peneplain(Die periode) The residual peaks, stone walls, and pillars will disappear with further erosion, forming gently sloping hills.

Because the rock is a poor conductor of heat, the rock is heated by the sun during the day, only to the surface of the rock, the temperature inside the rock is constant, the outer layer of the rock becomes hot during the day and expands, at night when cold contraction, often, and the inside of the rock will be separated, so that the shell will fall off the rock, and finally become debris.

Sunlight erosion and water erosion form a rich form of small grain texture.

Sun erosion, rain erosion and chemical erosion form honeycombed caves.

(m/s) The shear force and impact force generated by wind on the surface of the earth will cause the separation of small soil particles from larger aggregates or soil blocks, and even peel debris from the rock surface, causing scratches and honeycombs on the rock surface, and then soil particles or sand particles will be carried by wind to form wind-blown sand flow.

Rain erosion is a common geographical phenomenon in nature. This erosion can cause soil, soil or other ground components to be damaged and denuded. Rain erosion is a form of hydraulic erosion, including surface erosion and gully erosion. One of the most important types of soil erosion is rain erosion.

Sunlight erosion and crustal movement form fault mountain texture

Sun erosion and wind erosion form weathered gullies

If people are involved in the spatial changes of Danxia landform, we will get more enlightenment about the space. From formation to death, the space of Danxia landform is constantly changing. When people participate in spatial change, they will also get different spatial states and functions.

The building is divided into sections from different angles to fully show my research Danxia landform, not only its shape, but also its changes in the evolution process of thousands of years. Due to long-term erosion, Danxia landform will experience different development stages.

As one of the least developed countries in Latin America, the average wage of the leading industry of the national economy is not high, and the poor population accounts for 32% of the national population. Most people can only pay cheap rent every month, and several members of a family live in a shabby house in the suburbs, struggling to get by.

The frame of layers 1, 2, and 3: Package Board Package Board is a prefabricated module board building system that integrates thermal insulation, equipment, interior, exterior finishes, and doors and windows. Panels are attached with integrated locks. Thus, it can be easily installed by a couple of unskilled people with just a hex wrench. Unlike shipping containers, Package Board allows living spaces to be added without the help of heavy machinery and does not restrict their layouts to the shape of a box.

The membrane of the layer 1 and 2: sandblasting resin Sandblasting resin appears translucent. Which not only isolates the real world but also brings soft light. As the medium of emotional expression in this space, the material seems objective and secondary.

The membrane of layer 3: Vinyl film This newly made composite panel is capable of acting as protection from the rain and can also function as a shading device, producing a wide range of colorful effects and reflections as a result of its optical properties. Furthermore, the film can filter 97% of the sun's UV radiation, perfecting it for the summer.mer.
