ADAPTING 50/50 COOP
Individual Thesis Instructor: Sascha Delz
In response to the escalating housing prices and the evolving demands for living arrangements, 50/50 COOP presents an innovative housing model that facilitates adaptable interior spaces. The limitations imposed by conventional houses on people's space requirements are now a thing of the past. In here, SPACE breaks into SPACE ELEMENT. Each element represent a essential living experience of housing.
By offering a dynamic marketplace, 50/50 COOP simplifies the process of acquiring these space elements, likening it to purchasing a pre-owned car. This unique marketplace for space elements not only enables individuals to reduce their cost of living but also grants them unparalleled flexibility in choosing their desired living arrangements.

The design of the folding plate tectonic was influenced by the creation of the Foldaptive chair. The folding process transforms a flat steel plate into a Basic Module, making it suitable for mass production through casting, pressing, or other methods at a manufacturing facility. Folding increases the cross-sectional area of the connection, enhancing the system's load-bearing capacity.
The facade panels are composed of two distinct materials, steel and acrylic. Each panel is uniform in design and can be easily assembled using tab joints and bolts. With a height of 3 feet, the interior space can be altered by adjusting the number of panels used.

The building's façade uses a biology louver system, which echoes the privacy of the interior spaces by varying sparsity. The greenery between the glass and the louver allows the wind to blow more gently into the interior, and the growing vines provide a good shade for the interior space. Moreover, the foliage on the exterior serves as a means of collecting rainwater for water recycling, thus enhancing the energy efficiency of the building and promoting sustainability.

RURAL CITY THE HOME COMPETITION
DIRECTOR'S CHOICE
City has become a predominant context in building projects for a long time, while the potential of countryside has always been overlooked. Rural City is a paradigm for future living condition. Abundant rural land makes it possible to overturn high-rise apartments to single-story row houses, where resources are equally possessed, and personality is dissimilarly developed. The optimized circular form creates two different environments and experiences on both sides of the community: an idyllic rural landscape with open, endless fields, and a more familiar city park surrounded by the transparent façade and distinct skyline.
This atypical deurbanization process is not just a reflective response to the increasingly congested urban built environment and high-pressure lifestyle of citizens. Social attributes and effective agglomeration of cities are reserved in form of row houses, assembly workspace and various communal spaces. The definitions of citizens and villagers are vague here. By approaching the two different contexts within a single home unit, a binary space of urban and rural, and a better balance between ease and efficiency are able to be realized.
