This experiment about Water-scraper provides an individual Socialeco system from which humans can inhabit in a sea level rising background. According to the research of NGIS, rising sea level pose a huge threat to Melbourne's land in the coming decades. Therefore, it is an urgent need for a city that is adapted to the aquatic environment.

From thousands of years ago to the present day, there has been no end to the fantasy of the future and the aquatic world, and these fantasies provide a philosophy for learning to get along with nature. All of these fantasies show man’s ambition to occupy space: from the first sci-fiction movie Gugusse and the Automaton to Bladerunner, from Aztec’s Chinampas to East Asia’s Raft Bridge, from Australian Native Shelter to Lebbeus Woods’s floating structure.

Some new spatial strategies are needed to respond to the surface of the site, which is different from the usual construction site. In the early design phase, Inside-Out modelling illustrates the wonderful interior space of classical architecture, and continued these spatial elements to the new water art gallery. The ready-made exploration reconstructs existing buildings to find how they exist in new environments. The floating city is chaotic in its overall form, but it operates in an order. Lebbeus Woods imagines a future world built with mechanistic materials, freespace, multiplicity, and heterarchy to create a sort of institutionalized utopia. This order is for the whole micro-city to be able to run steadily. The city utilises the magic of nature itself, we carefully create and sustain a miniature ecosystem, from microbial decomposition of bio-waste into usable degradable to the generation of consumer goods.

THE PRESENT ST. KILDA Notes. Now St. Kilda has become a attractive coastal destination, there is a windy land with luna park, albert park and sandy beach. Artificial sand beaches and tidal barriers form the shoreline, as well as several marinas. People enjoy the beach here, seawater and sea breeze. Wind and tides are two crucial aspects to be considered.

ABORIGINAL SHELTER Notes. Charles Sturt has recorded (on Dark Emu) the way of Australian aboriginal people to get along with the environment in the background of low-tech and deserted middle part of Australia. They uses sticks as the main structure, and using thick clay to cover the shelter to insulate internal heat and rain. It good to learn knowledge from the philosophy of living with nature, their traditional construction techniques and the utilisation of nature.

In the situation of overwhelming global warming issue, the environment is becoming more elusive. Now, it is time to expolre spatial and formal strategies with the background of submerged city by sea. In this chapter, it is going to illustrate imaginary events on storyboard, to explore forms of office buidling and iterations from the 1950s architecture designed by Luigi Moretti’s. Hence, Metabolism and Arhigram raised visionary strategies to help with responding to the fluidity and impermanence of environment.

SUBMERGED CITY Notes. The storyboard tries to represent a series imaginary scene of submerged city due to sea level rising issue. The following scenarios become possible: the spectacular skyscraper could be the water level ruler, to show the speed of water level rising. Raft becomes the common transportation; pier has replaced car park. Seascape may become ubiquitous. The exploration of office buildings forms response to a rapidly deteriorating environment. Functionally, it provides spaces for accommodation, work (office), transportation (piers) and entertainment (parks).

READYMADE APARTMENT 01 Notes. Let us think of this classic high-density housing in Detroit as a prototype for an apartment. It offers an opportunity to refine the sophisticated plan and the oringinal shape of box. When taking the shape of this building and turn it into a volume, it is a good place to manipulate it and change its form to fit into the overall architectural language. In the subsequent operation, the techniques of stretch, fold, raise and carve were used to create an apartment that can adapt to the climate of Melbourne and meet the spatial needs of current residents.

NEGATIVE SPACE Notes. The methodology (which was used by Luigi Moretti in the structure and sequence of sapce, 1952) is a effective way to look for form prototypes. It simplify the reverse space to get some basic elements of mass and geometry. Different forms give different spatial characteristics. The dynamic relationship between each spaces can produces different spatial forms. A series of geometic concepts can be efficiency tools: intersection, union and Complement.

Description. On the earth, many cities are surrounded by water. In these places, people have found ways to get along with water. The water-city Vienice has beatiful buildings on water and waterways. In the Southern-China, local people uses boats to arrange a temporary raft bridge for crossing river.

RAFT BRIDGE Description. Floating platform is actually not a very new technique. It was invented thousands of years ago by the Aztecs in Mexico. They uses wooden cage to create floating land for farming and constructing. In eastern civilization, local people uses wooden boats to stay together. Then it are covered deck to be a raft bridge to link lands on two sides of river. It could be the prototype of floating platform.

So, in the aspect of form, Lebbeus Woods illustrates a imaginary Ocean shore and city as a shelter for interminate future. He uses "freespace, multiplicity, and heterarchy to create a sort of institutionalized utopia. His architecture looks like a machanical construction, which is affordable and easymaintance.

In the background of sea level rising, it is time to rebuild the connection with nature. In Melbourne, Wurundjeri people has their special philosiphy to gei along with nature. They feel Country - wind, water and stars by Walking-up and Talking-up. Mary Miss uses vernacular construction techniques and materials to place courtyard underground, which carve out new opportunities to bodily as well as visual perception of the place.

In this experimental island, Australian indigenous pattern are used as masterplan layout protype. Circles are the enrty of the city and the resevoir. When the reservoir reaches a certain depth, enought buoyancy will lift the water inlet, preventing more water fall into city. The salt water will be channeled through canals into a vaultshaped evaporation chamber, where the condensed water, when it meets the cold walls, will then flow down to the fresh water tank.

Its about all the twists , turns and dead-ends you find along the way in life. Richard Long also offers a stage for visitors to connect with environment with walking along the path. The landscape, the environment in which we move, thus becomes a flexible element that can be altered by the citizen himself. 64

Description. On this island, Automated O(U)topia, has a Automatic mechanism to cope with the hostile environment. This delicate balance requires careful maintenance, so the city operates like a machine. Each operator needs to follow the procedure strictly. We can harness the power of nature to help us feel ecology and get along with it in harmony.

The breakwater component can take advantage of the tides to raise shellfish, seaweed can grow on the bottom of city, indoor fungi break down material intro degradable material that can later be recycled into production. Heterarchy - is a Top-down organisation structure (In this city, the highest level of management is the manual.)

EXPERIMENTS

Design Progressing

Description. In the design process, there are always a lot of different ideas that come to mind at the beginning, and then iterate and improve from them. These initial ideas can be called prototypes. They may not turn out to be perfect drawings, but being able to document the ideas and process of the design is something that helps me to reflect on what I did well in the design and what I did not do well.

Reflection. More than 2,000 years ago, The Aztecs found the method, Chinampas, to occupy water area and establish thier great capital. They utilise wood to make cage and place it on water, then covering thatch and marine. This artificial land not only serves as base of building, but also be a very fertile land to grow food on. The average annual amount of grain is an astonishing five times greater than that of ordinary farmland. 144
