This thesis proposal has been set up to articulate the highly specific forms, and construct the ambiguous functions.Form developments happened before programs. In order to design the open and generic space for the flexible functions within the forms, we have developed object studies in series, from exterior surface and massing, to interior organization, and the language of particular operations were adopted into the objects development, such as embossing, extrusion, basin, taper, etc. The negotiable performance of these objects directed us to design everything in the framework.

Annex Exhibition Review

8 In the first half of the 20th century, the inventions of air-conditioning and the elevator allowed American office buildings to adopt an open floor plan. In his essay “Typical Plan” Rem Koolhaas identifies this openness as a virtue for it affords near infinite programmatic flexibility. Buildings reduced to “skin and bones” impose no restrictions on use blankness equals flexibility. This thesis explores the counter-intuitive reversal of this formula through articulated form that remains programmatically flexible and ambiguous. (atypical office replaces the generic, gridded, stripped-down, empty office interior, with a collection of machine-like objects with conspicuous identities. The building’s overall

“The simple, closed, uncommunicative figures contain open space, with the potential for infinitely variable activity within. At this scale, any connection between form and predictions about the future of function becomes impossible to maintain.” - What Is a Big Dumb Object? | Fred Scharmen

form results from a stack of large objects that house objects within, all wrapped in a generic mirrored glass facade. The objects surfaces are embossed, extruded, and tapered, taking on the a machine aesthetic but not mapping to any specific function. Operating at a wide spectrum of scales, from small vents and pipes to large rooms and atria. (a)typical office explores a diversity of volumes and the powers of scale. The building is sited between the City of Commerce and the City of Industry in Los Angeles, California. The latter is unique in that it houses 2,500 businesses and 80,000 jobs, but has only 300 residents. This produces an extreme circadian rhythm where in the daytime the city bustles with capitalist activity but at night itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ghost town. (a)typical office reflects this cycle, but in reverse; in daylight itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a generic reflective box much like its neighbors while at night it is a luminous container of oddly-scaled objects. This challenges conventional notions of interiority and architectural character. Historically, character was a quality of the outsides of buildings where ornament and articulation was visible to a wider audience. (a)typical office enfolds its character, keeping it on its inside during the day and projecting outward at night once workers have evacuated the premise. Through its mirrored glass facade, (a) typical office reveals truths of the city while concealing its own secrets of interiority. Interior during Daytime

“Typical Plan is an American invention. It is zero-degree architecture, architecture stripped of all traces of uniqueness and speciﬁcity. It belongs to the New World.” - “Typical Plan” S,M,L,XL | Rem Koolhaas

“Typical Plan is an architecture of the rectangle; any other shape makes it atypical - even the square. It is the product of a (new) world where sites are made, not found.” - “Typical Plan” S,M,L,XL | Rem Koolhaas

“Typical Plan is to the office population what graph paper is to a mathematical curve. Its neutrality records performance, event, flow, change, accumulation, deduction, disappearance, mutation, fluctuation, failure, oscillation, deformation.” - “Typical Plan” S,M,L,XL | Rem Koolhaas

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A blueprint does not predict the cracks that will develop in the future; it describes an ideal state that can only be approximated.â&#x20AC;? - Delirious New York | Rem Koolhaas

“Every room was a complete individual symphony of color. Walls, furniture, and fabrics were all composed sophisticatedly into perfect harmony which each other. Each appliance had its proper place, and was connected to the others in the most wonderful combinations.” - The Poor Little Rich Man | Adolf Loos

“The truth is that man has an uncanny faculty of adapting himself to new conditions. He learns to admit and even, in a sneaking sort of way, to like new and strange forms. The new form is at first repugnant, but if it has any real vitality and justification it becomes a friend.” - Towards a New Architecture | Le Corbusier

“While they are things, either these objects are entirely mute, or they present an array of incomplete, overlapping, and contradictory associations that cloud their precise meaning, even while they still seem to mean something.” - What Is a Big Dumb Object? | Fred Scharmen

Motion | Deformation ARCH 442 - Situation Studio Winter 2014 Instructor Sandra Manninger Software Maya Photohop This project has tested various scenarios on possible aggregation of single intelligent component, via deformation and movement to create a series of dynamic models. Maya has created a broad territory and possibility for this experimental test, which assigned the digital simulation the natural features, such as materiality and geometry. The outcome has been tested on both architectural scale and urban landscape scale, with calibrating the proportion of the mass part and the tentacle part on the single component, the aggregation as a result turns into the well developed architectural components, such as structure, facade, floor and openings.

Aggregation

This series of digital simulations origin from component modeling within Maya. This project has adopted a bottomup design strategy, via a series of tests to develop an appropriate aesthetic for architectural objects. The features operated on the individual component include extrusion, twist, scale and mirror cut, with considering architectural components, for instance, the structure and openings, floor and ceiling and so on. The final aggregations described the particular features, which composed the distinguished spatial quality. In the final aggregations, gestures are always intensively curvilinear. Curvilinearity signifies the principled deformation of a line while organizing many disparate elements continuously. Motion has been recorded in each moment as a flow and curvilinearity has been shown as an essential factor of the geometry to reflect the features of the geometry as well. Aesthetic has become a question brought up frequently in the process of modeling operations. Symmetry is a significant standard adopted in this design project. symmetry is embedded in the nature from micro scale to macro scale; particularly, a specific functional requirement will lead to asymmetrical condition. This project emphasized on creating symmetrical architectural entities, Tower and Island, represent architectural scale and landscape scale. The elegant components gave the large scale structure exquisite details and subtleties.

A Music Hub is proposed as culture venue located in Northend Detroit, a low oppupation rate single family house neighbourhood. The strategy is to re-distribute the flooding water on street through adding a paravascular pipe system. And the Music Hud functions as a water filter and consume part of the cleaned water.

In the same moment, the terms for institutional formation are moving from strict economic models to more diversified social models. This piece of work aims to exploit alternative forms of architectural research and proposition.

Asylum as a playground for the young graduates (mainly born in the 1980s) who has little resources in a metropolitan like Beijing to practice social networking. This project is about creating a self-autonomy social space containing affairs in various speeds; to draw the young graduates to develop/practice their interests, such as movie/music/painting/writing/exercising/debating together with others... It is an institute to expose the vulnerable young people under cultural risks, but also support their pursuit to their pleasures by supplying precious matters--applicable space. By locating the asylum under the 5th Ring Road and close to a busy intersection, this project situate itself in a position of approaching the civic power in a humble but provocative attitude---itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under the power but also interrupting the order. The author sees the project as a camouflaged dagger pointing at the authority in China.

Representation | Ink & Code Fall 2014 Instructor Clark Thenhaus Collaborate Stefan Klecheski Jayne Choi Software Grasshopper Illustrator Photoshop

This work pays particular attention to alternative drawing techniques, translations from analogue materiality to digital environments, and considers the typology of a dome as fodder for an alternative iconicity and spatiality. By cross-breeding the indeterminate drawing with the clear space of translations and the fixity of a historic dome, many issues present themselves, such as geometry, typology, translation, effect / affect, material expressions, and image realism.

Digital Fabrication | Pig Piles Winter 2015 Instructor Adam Fure Collaborate Nean Niu Peter Dumbadze

Aggregationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the fundamental architectural act of putting parts together to make larger constructsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is no longer a practice of stacking predictable, identical building blocks. Nor is it solely a matter of designing fields of unique yet selfsimilar parts, as recent trends in parametric computation and digital fabrication might suggest. The pile flies in the face of conventional approaches to aggregation because it assumes an ad-hoc set of fits between parts, rather than the precise, engineered placements of current building systems. This seminar explores these recent trends in odd architectural aggregation by designing, prototyping, and fabricating piles.

Generative Computing | Python Fall 2014 Instructor Glenn Wilcox Software Rhino Python

Generative design computing introduces to techniques of computer coding and modeling that access the generative and algorithmic power of the computing platform. This is to move beyond the simple automation of drafting tasks (computerization) to investigate the design potentials of working systematically (computation) - with the machine, not simply a tool, but a collaborator in process.
