OF STRUCTURE

RONDO CEILING

Hi. My name is Zach Xingguo Zheng. I grow up in Shanghai and live in Melbourne since 2010. I studied architecture and completed bachelor and master degrees in the University of Melbourne from 2012 to 2016. This portfolio is to show a selection of my design works from previous university design studios. It covers parametric architecture, landscape, and basic construction.

Tokyo Vision, a shopping and entertainment complex sitting at the centre of Shibuya, Tokyo, is a proposed replacement to the existing department store 109. It resembles an architectural extension to the fractured experience of contemporary Japanese and particularly Tokyo youth culture and local urban context.

The architectural form is sculpted by a selection of active and passive visual devices from surrounding urban environments, building functions, and potential occupiers. This principle is carried from exterior to interior. -6-

LIBERATION

The Liberation Port is a hypothetical project sitting at the centre of future Shanghai in the 22nd century. The project explores the idea of post-humanism and recognises the limitation to human potential set by body as the mere container of consciousness. It aims at providing the necessary facility and spatial quality for liberating human mind from body by digitising and uploading consciousness as data. Thus such data is able to travel with maximum freedom both physically and cognitively.

“Media as the main source of information shifted from a top-down approach (large press organisations, government censored publications, and television channels) to a non-hierarchical system of social-networking of media services created and consumed by each individual” In fact, this seemingly democratic and free media era still has a structure defined by class divisions. The voice of those with great power, celebrities and politicians, is consciously and unconsciously manipulating public opinion.”

The City Centrum aims at freedom of expression and also to free the evil of freedom by creating a space with multiple media devices for public use with any purpose, which enabled any individual to temporarily possess the similar power of influence as celebrities and politicians, via hosting their events and broadcasting their expression on a city scale. The life of the building is dependent on the life of each hosted event, that starts with the initial attracting media set through the media devices, and is maintained by effective absorption of participants, which will continuously amplify the hosted event.

1 Exterior Display

The design of the City Centrum started with the inspiration and analysis of the Glass Video Gallery designed by Bernard Tschumi, in Groningen, Netherlands, which Tschumi attempted using to light up the surrounding urban spaces. His gallery was an event container, for exhibiting music videos, that attracts and absorbs the visiting participants, of which the process amplifies the event. The analysis of Glass Video Gallery started by describing entrance/exit, exhibits, and physical boundary, and used the latter elements as basis to run a simulation of visitor movement and their potential behaviour, namely, crowd, physical path, visual focus,

Attractor is the essential start of an event, it serves the function of sending clear signals to potential participants.

As participants join the event, they automatically become part of the event itself, thus they are absorbed.

The previous process amplifies event scale with the growth of participation, which is converted to a larger attractor.

This experiment was a digitised demonstration of Bernard Tschumiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of architecture. Building serves as an envelope for hosting events, which in return defines the quality of architecture. On this point, architecture is no longer merely some static built space, the most definitive quality is determined by the interaction and mutual influence between space and users.

UNIVERSITY ARCHIVE

A proposal for an archive building sitting in Brunswick, Melbourne, the project draws attention on local culture and public life, and used them as the source of design analysis. It focused on pragmatic design of functions, as well as introducing landscape changes as disturbance to the existing local lifestyle.
