STRUCTURE AS SPATIAL GENERATOR The role of structure in architecture is self-evident. This project researched and reviewed 7*2 precedents and re-design them through various mediums and drawings. The review of these precedents shows the role of structure in defining a formal response in the generation of architectural expression/the crafting of interior spaces. The revealing of structure to define space.
TEA HOUSE By Alvaro Siza
How the material to response the surrounding. This building used Concrete structure. From the outside, the raw wood texture is still reminded on the concert surface. Those nature texture and grey colour of the concert make the house fits in beautifully with the rock surrounding. The house located on such environment with hard and sharp rock, clod sea wind. The waving Wood cladding on the underside of the slabs created a certain thermal, soft and visual comfort. The wood is the presenting of noble areas. It created this elegant pace on such a rough landscape.
PRECEDENT: VIIPURI LIBRARY By Alvar-Aalto
Continuing his particular path Aalto also designed in this library small elements to the user, such as handrails, chairs, curtains and other interior elements. The building was completely white outside and inside the various elements retained their natural color, with the exception of some metal elements were painted black, white or gray.
HIRSHHORN MUSEUM By Gordon Bunshaft
The Hirshhorn Museum is unique among the structures in that the building itself is a sculptural work of art. According to the museum, Bunshaft considered the “hollow-centred, elevated cylinder” as “‘a large piece of functional sculpture’ among the shrine-like structures of the National Mall.” Appearing as if it was carved from a single block, the massive structure rises from four sculptural columns, allowing visitors to pass under the cylindrical volume to the central court.
CHURCH OF SAN GIOVANNI BATTISTA By Mario Bottata
This project was inspired by the condition o deep devastation of its immediate context highly unusual situation produced by a natu ral disaster. Two buttresses which tie the lowe and upper walls together, like massive struts guard against the inherent danger of a new avalanche. The chapel’s structure has been built to last for long time; to understand its so lidity we should start looking at the section o its perimeter walls and the way they becom slimmer rising towards the sky.
PRECEDENT: MARIN COUNTY CIVIC CENTRE By Frank Lloyd Wright
The civic centre is a sprawling building that connects two hills,.The indoor and outdoor spaces of the Marin Civic Centre blend seamlessly together. As the building climbs up the hill, the roof stays at the same height, such that it feels as though it is coming out of the ground. Wright’s original design called for the building to be open to the elements, but skylights were later added.
PRECEDENT: CHAPEL OF ST. MARY OF THE ANGELS By Mario Botta
Both buildings were built from local stone linking them to their specific sites, expressing monumental qualities, and adhering to th spiritual qualities of the space. These churche may be perceived as part of the continuous at tempt of humans to build their cosmos pillar from stone as a sacred link between earth and heaven, and as an expression of possessing the mountain.
of a uer s, w n oof me
MIT CHAPEL By Eero Saarinen
The Chapel is a cylindrical brick building, the exterior void of windows, except for the irregularly sized arched windows at the base of the building. The moat it is set in actually reflects the outdoor light up through the windows set at the base of the building into the chapel. This combined with light that filters in through a honeycomb-screened skylight creates an ambient quality of light that is well suited for a space of spiritual respite
es g he es trs d g
PRECEDENT: OREON E. SCOTT MEMORIAL CHAPEL By Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen’s attention both to detail and to the flow of space is very evident in this religious commission. The brick exterior of the chapel is contrasted with the wood-slatted interior. The only brick visible on the inside resides above the door. This gives a reminder of what exists on the outside while the visitor makes an adjustment to the interior.
METROPOLITAN CATHEDRAL OF BRASILIA By Oscar Niemeyer
The Cathedral of Brasília in Brasilia is a Roman Catholic cathedral designed by Oscar Niemeyer. Those 16 concrete columns, weighing 90 tons each, formed the Hyperboloid structure, and this structure hold up whole glass roof which makes the unique shape and the huge column free space of cathedral. Moreover, when resisting outside forces, hyperboloid structure is much more stable compare to “straight” structure.
THE YALE CENTRE FOR BRITISH ART By Louis Kahn
The Yale Centre for British Art was designed on a three-dimensional grid structure of column and beams. The columns and beams are visu ally exposed on all surfaces of the building and each geometric unit on the façade is articulat ed by stainless steel panels and glazing units The arrangement of these units reveals the in ternal layout of the building.
PRECEDENT: MUSEO SOUMAYA By Fernando Romero
From the outside, the building is an organic and asymmetrical shape that is perceived differently by each visitor, while reflecting the diversity of the collection on the inside. The shell of the building is constructed with 28 steel curved columns of different diameters, each with its own geometry and shape, offering the visitor a soft non-linear circulation all through the building.
PRECEDENT: PHILLIPS ECETER ACADEMY LIBRARY By Louis Kahn
Compared to the Yale Centre for British Art the Philips Exeter Academy Library also use the grid system for the plan. Each of the fou sides of the court has giant circles cut out o them. These circular openings reveal the row of book stacks. This way, there’s a visual con nection across the space and between th floors. The circular forms also serve a structura purpose: they brace the tall corner columns.
n ns ud ts. n-
In the design concept of a large space for individual study it was used to encourage greater communication between students of various disciplines of the school. Andrews described as “a large factory-open space with smaller spaces adjacent to specialized activities. A large workshop with smaller spaces for specific activities is interconnected. The architect wanted the structure and mechanical systems were exposed roof partially as an aid to teaching.
GUND HALL By John Andrews
t, es ur of ws nhe al
Starting with windowless walls John ended up with a stepping-back form for the science building to allow for skylights at each level. The concept derived directly from the problem of providing natural light to the labs, yet retaining full wall space. Tiered sections also provide daylight to internal streets and full height court, ‘meeting place’ placed at the meeting of two converging streets.
PRECEDENT: SCARBOROUGH COLLEGE By John Andrews
RENOVATION- PETER EISENMAN HOUSE VI House VI was designed by the then famed paper architect Peter Eisenman during the early to mid 1970. This project gave Ei¬senman the oppertunity to realise his ideas into an actual building. The House designed in non-functional pur¬poses, rendering the house nearly inhabitable to live in. Its structural elements are exposed howev¬er most of the beams and columns have no struc¬tural purpose and is purely for its design.

HETEROTOPIA Thesis: When architect renovate a historical building, the abandoned years of that architecture should not be ignored. Whole History of Architecture
in use Built
abandoned Closed
Renovation
History that most architect today focuse on
ABANThey are fascinating for at this stage of life: spaces of doubt and incompletion; nature coexist; places standing outside of daily experiences.
THE OVERALL STRATEGIES:
The factory will be turning into a brickworks museum with the place can still be readily understood as brickworks after renovation. Keep the aesthetic of the abandoned architecture.Keep the arrangement of the layout and reform of each existing building. The approach to reform of each existing building divides into 3 steps. First of all, it is take out the very easy wreathing skin and not important structure; then transform them by distortion, dissolve, insertion cast and casting overlap and so on. Next step is gives them materiality. All existing building go thought these 3 steps, I will explain it more when go though each programs.
In griffin’ plan, circle as geometric cleverly worked into and around the plains and hills of the molonglo river. The central lake was to be semi-circular and the east and west basins circular. But the brickworks was not following the griffin’ plan, because it has been built before the plan introduced. So in the renovation, the circle as a symbol of canberra be used in different scale to integrate with the urban fabric.

The site is surrender by a large an open landscape. Only the north-west has connected to the suburb. The whole landscape sink from east to west, the whole site is concealing from the residence. This setting contributes to a sense of remoteness from the urban environment which is distinctive and imparts a particular aesthetic quality experienced from within the site.

This build is form by a series original “machine bay” building. Those building were used to transport clay from the quarry, they were a series link points that linking quarry to the kiln, east &west. Firstly take of the weathered structure, then twist it to follow and adapt the topography of landscape; flip the whole structure upside down to give visions from human scale and also combine with an arch symbol. Those series individual “machine bay” turn into one single building. It is not only link the quarry and one kiln, but as a link point for the whole complex as well as the landscape. A20

Whole complex can be read as 4 groups of buildings. Each of the group has a “Machine Bay”, a main kiln and a chimney. The brick making processing is taking the clay from the quarry, fire in the kiln, stored on the central brick yard. The historical significance of the Canberra Brickworks is not just on the kilns but also on the layout and arrangement of building.

Original staffordshire kiln a will be used as artist studio. This type of kiln has separate kiln rooms: same as the 2nd kiln cylinder insertion changed the circulation. Give them a centre space for exhibition. The cap caused by the orientation of the brick, created the light and shadow, shadow rich the sense of uncertainty, remind people of the light got through the abandoned crack brick wall. Light and. The pattern of dome is coming from the arch of the kiln.
ARTIST STUDIO (ORIGINAL STAFFORDSHIRE KILN A)
CO R R I D O R ENTRANCE (ORIGINAL HOFFMANN KILN C)
Entrance is a corridor formed by two arches representing kiln and lead people into the history museum. It is a museum about history of this brickwork. So when people walking in, this form itself is telling the story of the brickworks’ built process, that kiln stacked up one by one piece of brick. On the other hand, it also expresses an opposite process to construction, that because it been forgotten, so it been sliced, decomposition and start slowly breaks down.
CENTRE SQUARE (THE BRICK YARD)
the large open spaces- the old brick yard between the kilns are key to an understanding of process. Now it become a square with view to the landscape I totally changed the circulation of the brickwork, but the on the layout and arrangement of building retains.
The 2rd kiln is a gallery about how the hoffmann kiln was working. By boldly insert 3 cylinder intros the body of kiln those structure and detail that hidden inside are revealed. Looking at the old plan, we can see a heavy wall is in the middle of the kiln. It is for leading the hot air going through all the bricks. It is sustainable use of the hot air. But it is not encourage people interaction as a gallery. This 3 cylinder insertion changed the whole circulation.(Show on the new plan & and rendering) one as the entrance, one as exhibition space, one as out door leading people to the 3rd kiln.
Intersecting arch forms are combined to create an unbalanced and undulating landscape of brick parapets. The combination of curved forms creates a sense of illusion and depth which sites in contrast to the rectilinear forms of brickwork infrastructure in distance. And also, Landscape is a Critical of Canberra. Canberra is very about an object in a landscape without any sense of enclosure space. This setting circular wall laying on the landscape, is delivery a similar aesthetic quality experience.

SYNERGY INSIDE THE BORDER Both of South Korea and North Korea have some resources that another part of the peninsula doesn’t have. Because of political and historical reasons, DMZ blocks the sharing of resources and the chance of mutual benefit. Being awarded with the benefit of reasonably sharing resources will approach at better understanding about the relationship between North and South Korea and enhance people’s aspiration about subverting the border – DMZ. Thus, we propose to inject a temporary toilet to serve big events in site and a temporary sanctuary for migrating birds.

Using the form of wire fence which is a represent of isolation to let a curve platform break the border between water and land.
another way to dealing with the water is the sunken corridor. It makes the relationship between water and ground more diversified.
Fence as a border was built to block communication. As an irony, a typical fence element has been used in our synergy building and this element of fence become a key system of our building from.

There are many endangered species living in peace in the DMZ. In some way, DMZ provides protection for wild life. Such irony. In our design,People looks like staying at a birdcage and on the other hand, birds are free.

ALLEGRO Thesis: When architect renovate a historical building, the abandoned years of that architecture should not be ignored. They are fascinating for at this stage of life: spaces of doubt and incompletion; nature coexist; places standing outside of daily experiences.
THE OVERALL STRATEGIES:
The factory will be turning into a brickworks museum with the place can still be readily understood as brickworks after renovation. Keep the aesthetic of the abandoned architecture. Keep the arrangement of the layout and reform of each existing building. The approach to reform of each existing building divides into 3 steps. First of all, it is take out the very easy wreathing skin and not important structure; then transform them by distortion, dissolve, insertion cast and casting overlap and so on. Next step is gives them materiality. All existing building go thought these 3 steps, I will explain it more when go though each programs.

The initial ideal is from latte art. we find most of takeaway coffee cover up or just pain coffee straight out of machines. the lack of enjoyment in take away coffee really does not provide the drinker a full experience. to enhance the coffee consuming experience both visually + physically , we introduce a sledding geometry inspired from the fluidity of movement of mike and coffee. But how can the” fluidity of movement “ constructed a 3D space? that where i bake to my form “library” I found this math equation called Clifford attractor create those pattern with similar aesthetic movement of latte art. and then develop my project based on this. In order to avoid burnning, a colour paint will combine with the material to visullsial temperature by this holder. the movement of the late art all of these, provide us a great fact about how a good coffee really being made and the wonderful experiment it can bring to people.

Fashion and architecture has strong interconnection which can be explored with the techniques and material properties. The architect needs to allow to lose control over the details and allow a dynamic exchange between the matter and the materiality. In this project, our interest was to combine knitting techniques with the properties of an architectural element, such as a column.

Studio Matias Del Campo Traditional Greek representation of a column, is a concrete filled structure with ornamental elements that mainly have decorative purpose. On the other hand, looking at the examples of the columns of the works of Gaudi, strong, elegant and organic shapes, helped us to design architectural elements that would have these
characteristics. To test this approach, we have used four simple geometric operation (Gaudi), that were used to soften the shapes of any edge columnlike structure: _Relax: remove an edge without collapsing its end point. _Sag: bend an edge towards the minimal surface. _Smooth: smooth local features. _Twist: twist the model about its central axis. By testing these operation, we were able identify what does and what does not work. One of the key challenges quickly identify limitation
of the material and the machines, and to create design that works within these limits. One of which was, that the tool (the extruder) can only go exactly in the middle of rods of the ‘fork’, this was limiting our design very significantly. Consequently, the pattern became the biggest challenge of the process. While, we were already aware, exactly, how far we can place points apart to avoid severe and unpredictable material deformation, it was still not enough to create a sophisticated design.
