FROM INVISIBLE TO VISIBLE: Applying magic realism into architecture design Demographic museum in Shanghai

China is developing rapidly, and witnesses the collision and integration of Eastern and Western culture. The old system has been broken, but the new one has not been built yet. Therefore, architects from China and abroad are trying to find an architectural style of its own that meets the current situation of China. As the window and the economic center of China, Shanghai has been the test field explored by architects. Due to the magic power of the city itself, we will discuss in this paper how to apply the theories of magic realism to create an architectural style that represents the city spirit and social environment of Shanghai. Magic realism has been widely applied and developed in every field of art, especially in literature and has made great achievements. It directly influenced the hallucinatory realism, root-seeking literature and native literature in China. Chinese writer Mo Yan also got the Nobel Prize for its literature work of magic realism. Magic realism is a genre where magic elements are a natural part in an otherwise mundane, realistic environment. Although it is most commonly used as a literary genre, magic realism also applies to film and the visual arts. It most famous for the Latin-American Literature, such as Gabriel MĂĄrquezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s One Hundred Years of Solitude. Because of the similar history in modern times, this kind of art is also quite famous in China. Moyan, the recent winner of Nobel Prize in Literature, is also writing hallucinatory realism (similar to the magic realism) novels. So magic realism has its suitable environment in China.

Aim: create an architecture style fit to the city and its city culture

Now the key question is how to applying magic realism into a 3D architectural design. The basic process is showed beneath and through this design logic, we can get an architecture prototype that defines magic realism in Shanghai and imagine it is a demographic museum where different channels connect different exhibition halls to create an experience of magical realism based on the novel Invisible Cities and the history and culture of Shanghai.

Integrated Transforming the form

Body

Architecture has become the construction of an experience, and architectural style, function and structure all serve for creating such experience. This is the same as many other art forms in essence. Architecture, literature, painting and music are all intended to create a unique experience. After all, magic realism also creates a dream-like chain experience by virtue of magic elements and real background. Focusing on this essence, we are capable of transforming it from literature and painting or from painting to architecture, and it remains a kind of carrier all the way, similar to the body we mentioned before. Experience itself is the soul of this art form. I selected this novel for transcription and translation because as an excellent representative of magic realism, it also profoundly expounds all kinds of relations between city and people as well as between city and society. It provides a perfect template for us to interpret a city and its spirit in a comprehensive way. 55 cities are 55 Venice from different perspectives, and 55 different perspectives can also be used to observe Shanghai and constitute a complete and magic Shanghai.

［Cities & Names］（Imagination） The name of a city is the shortest but powerful elaboration for itself, and also gives people a kind of memory and imagination. ［Trading Cities］（Exchange） In cities, trade is not just concerning money and goods, but also memory, desire, identity, life, etc. Such multiple exchanges form a complex and stable social network. ［Cities & Desire］（Desire） Desire, as an important part of the city's nature, is derived from the human nature and also the dominant factor to promote urban development and change. ［Cities & Signs］（Culture） City is both physical and abstract. Different symbols and definitions represent its inside and outside, so that it becomes a symbol or a collection of symbols. ［Hidden Cities］（Society） City is a contradictory complex, where the new and the old, ideal and reality, success and fear as well as justice and chaos are entangled with each other. ［Cities & Eyes］（Experience） A city will give people different feelings because the distance and location preset by observer and his mood, angle, position and method are different.

SOCIETY

Tree Structure

［Cities & the Dead］（Transmigration） Death blocks time and isolates space. The city is constantly changing, and everything in the city is undergoing continuous cycle of death and rebirth.

［Continuous Cities］（Problem） Expansion of urban scale and the city's status as the core of consumption and production all push the residual natural scene to the edge.

CITY

［Thin Cities］（Planning） The physical architecture of the city: planning of structure, circulation of resource, change of function and the density and size of the city.

［Cities & Memory］（History） The memory of a city contains people's emotion for it. Memory is not only about the past, but also contains the future in the past and a possibility in the future. It will also be related to the reality of the city.

［Cities & the Sky］（Development） Ideal city: its picture, path, construction, implementation and the real defect.

At the second step, we transform the logical relation into an analysis chart which is more direct and more visual. Each picture is taken from a location in Shanghai and reflects a fact of the city. Because of different periods, different locations and different point of views, they constitute a complete urban experience of magic realism. Image narrative about Shanghai in the structure from Invisible Cities.

STUDY 1-NARRATION AND ARCHITECTURE

STUDY 2-ARCHIVE AND CUTTING

OMA Gordon Cullen [Serial Vision] Described as the pedestrian experience of the urban space, which can be recorded sequentially by means of drawings, diagrams and photographs. Each movement along the path unravels different views which add to the sense of anticipation and drama.

Bernard Tschumi

[Tres Grande Bibliotheque] The program called for the creation of various smaller libraries contained in one building envelope; including libraries for moving images, recent acquisitions, reference, catalogues and scientific research. The library is imagined as a solid block of information, a dense repository for the past, from which voids are carved to create public spaces – absence floating in memory.

STUDY 3-MOVABLE GHOST

[The Manhattan Transcripts] ‘The Transcripts are about a set of disjunctions among use, form and social values. The non-coincidence between meaning and being, movement and space, man and object is the starting condition of the work. Yet the inevitable confrontation of these terms produces effects of far-ranging consequence. Ultimately, the Transcripts try to offer a different reading of architecture, in which space, movement and events are independent, yet stand in a new relationship to one another, so that the conventional components of architecture are broken down and rebuilt along different axes.’

Aldo Rossi [Il Teatro del Mondo] The floating temporary theater is a playful tower form on a barge platform, in which the architecture serves as a possible background, a setting, a building that can be calculated and transformed into the measurements and concrete materials of an often elusive feeling.

At the third step, the experience is changed from 2D to 3D and forms a 3D model like patio-temporal tunnel by marking the points where the events occur on the map and connecting them via logical relations. Follow the matrix system we can experience a special traveling through different places and different time in Shanghai. Shanghai is a fascinating mix of East and West. All these mix feelings define the miagic character of Shanghai. Also we can experience the live status in the city, see the invisible part of the city and understand the spirit of the city.

The Taiping was a Chinese steamer that sank after a collision with another vessel en route from Shanghai to Taiwan in 1949, leading to the deaths of over 1500 passengers and crew combined.

The port area in the middle of 20th century (before 1949)

The port area in the beginning of 20th century

Shiliupu Port area is an epitome of Shanghai's history. The port was developed in the Qing Dynasty. There were hundreds of ships stopped here everyday for transport millions tons of cargo from 1822. The transportation industry has brought commercial prosperity, the Shiliupu area becomes the busiest street in the town, it connected sea and land transport well because of its special position. Since 1949 there have been many public bus routes as far as here. This area became one of the main traffic centers of Shanghai. In late 20th century, Shiliupu area was including East Fuxing Road, Zhonghua Road, Fangbang Road and Yangsuo Road. Lots of ports, warehouses and boatyards set up in the area. It stills a famous port with valuable tour resources in Shanghai. Nowadays, the Shiliupu port area was rebuilt as waterfront green space and marina port. The site is located in the south end of the Shiliupu port area. It is in the center of three major financial districts of Shanghai and the middle point between the north and south cultural axis. So the project in the site should be work as an urban connection node to link different urban context together. From the transportation system analysis, the direct route from the site could reach most part of the urban core area and very easy to transfer to other means of transportation.

SITE PLAN WITH THE URBAN CONTEXT

The first part of the narrative structure is a circulation structure. Different architectural lens strech out from the main circulation to catch different city views. The mirror part next to it just keeps the circulaton sequence and view deck without any architectural control.

The second part of the narrative structure is a tree structure. Different architectural lens contain different sight and movement inside. When people go through all the lens they will get the magic feeling of the building.

Vertical circulation is added as the oran (such as office rooms and media room

Structure system (columns and floor layers) is added. The mirror part is sitting on a big barge so it could be moved to anywhere in the city along the Huangpu River.

The main building with concrete facade is partly covered by ship wood panels. The mirror part is covered by steel structure system which borrows from the wood ship structure and make it looks like a big scaffold.

TRANS-PLANTATION

SITE MODEL

MAD School Media, arts, design school in Los Angeles The MAD School is an avant-garde design school sitting at the downtown center of Los Angeles. Locating in the intersection of the civic and the cultural axes, the design of the school focused on creating a harmonious combination of the different styles of architecture along the axes. The civic axis that directs toward the DWP (Department of Water and Power) Building embraces modernistic architecture of huge concrete boxes; whereas the cultural axis is mainly composed of post-modernism architecture, such as the Ramon High School, City Theater, and Disney Concert Hall by Gehry. The design of the school is achieved through transplantation of a concrete box of laboratories with a metal web weavered through.

PARALLEL LINES Hanging garden tower in NYC

Usually architects are accustomed to use kind of solid volume, we often call them â&#x20AC;&#x153;massingâ&#x20AC;?, to help them create and explore the space. But not this time, in this design process we attempt to use something more original. Among the basic spatial elements: points, lines and surfaces, we choose lines, or parallel lines for more accuracy expression, as our method to construct the space that we needed.

We think about how to use parallel lines to create space, even a building. This is really a challenge because there is no direct way to transfer the 2D lines into 3D space. Even the optical effects, which draw our attention at the very beginning, lose its effects when it applies to a big scale object. So we have to make it more substantial, transfer it into several plates and make them interdigitated together. Then we find very interesting density change in the overlap part, a contrast between solid and void, which may have potential to create a multispatial density building in our design. Go back to our parallel lines strategy. The parallel lines can get its shape only through tracing other volumeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shape. We use them tracing several volumes and make them intersect with each other to create different spatial densities.

Typical American Row House: House+Garden+Garage

The site is located in midtown Manhattan, Hudson Yard district, Block 1050, Lot 13, next to the Port Authority Bus Terminal. It includes two parts: D3 and D5, allows commercial, residential and community programs to be built. In the rezoning of Hudson Yard development project, it is a link part between the residential area and PA Bus Terminal, so residential and car parking will be the major programs. In the design, we try to maintain the very typical American suburban housing family life style in this congested area. With parking system, community facilities, low-income family benefit programs, it will be a very hybrid inclusionary housing project. Considering the difficulty to use D5, we transfer the FAR from D5 to D3, and use the inclusionary housing bounce to reach the max FAR in the lot.

INTERIOR DESIGN OF KEYLAND GROUP OFFICE Collaboration Work at Ko-oo Architect

设计理念塑造一个充满生机活力的办公空间，从而促使部门内部、各部门之间的沟通交流更高效、更频繁地进行充分利用地处1 8 层的高楼层优点，营造明亮而具有开放感的办公空间，确保使用者在这个空间里还能充分眺望到美丽风景利用几何形空间给人带来的心理效果，塑造出崭新风格的独特办公空间。

现状

Step1

由墙面围合而成的复数单间散落在不同位置上，而被这些单间夹着的空间显得局促而狭窄。单间的确需要用墙面围合方能实现（会议室使用白板等）。但，现状是新立起的墙面、走廊边上的核心筒墙面均未充分利用，有待在整个布置上进行很大改善和改良。

首先，单间群基本上都集中到核心筒周围，以便最大限度地应用现有的核心筒之墙（比如用作投影、白板等），从而尽量减少墙面容易带来的压抑感等负面作用。另，单间群和办公室空间如果只为满足功能需求而机械地排成两列、中间夹着走廊来布置的话，无法成为一个使用方便且良好舒适的办公环境。

Step2

Step3

利用几何学原理，在单间群和办公室空间之间创造出一些开放式空间，我们将其称为‘口袋空间 p o c k e t ’。口袋空间的使用方法灵活多样，比如、平日的团队会议、休息 · 交流等均可在此进行，平时就在自己单间工作的上司和办公室区域里工作的员工们，也可以到这个区域来自由交流沟通。员工们可根据自己的需求，自由灵活地使用这些空间。

各种形状的口袋空间，将会帮助员工们盛产崭新创意，也会促进部门内、各部门之间的交流更加畅通，信息交换与共享更加有效地进行下去。通过设计，塑造一个崭新的办公环境，让员工们多了更多的选项，在日常办公过程中便可活跃而密切地进行交流、沟通（会议） - - 这才是符合现代办公空间所需的、帮助公司进一步发展的优质办公环境。

员工们可在工作之余忙里偷闲，在此区域用点简餐、短暂放空休息。

与呼叫中心相邻的空间平常可用作为员工的休息场所，但一旦把卷帘放下时，即可播放投影仪，用作汇报用会议室。

方案中为企业提供了大小不一，形态各异，功能区分的各类会议讨论空间，符合交互式办公的需求。

各个讨论区可以满足不同小组的不同需求，使工作场所成为一个真正交流想法，分享经验的平台。

设计理念首先需要满足业主要求，在功能和成本上满足一个临时展厅的要求。可重复利用建筑，在结束展览期后可以用做公益用途。使用的材料是半透明的PVC纸，图案构成借鉴于山本宽斋的时尚设计作品。

中国作为一个地震灾害多发国家，常常在地震中遭受惨重损失。由于相较于成年人缺乏足够的自我保护能力因此青少年往往成为最易受伤的人群。

图为在5.12汶川大地震中垮塌的教学楼，汶川地震中数百所校舍被摧毁，数千名学生被埋。

事实上，在普及地震防护知识和做好安全保障措施的情况下，青少年也可以有效地避免和减少地震中可能造成的伤害。

震后灾区也需要大量的帐篷来安置受灾群众。

同样是地震多发国家的日本，有许多帮助青少年应对地震灾害的经验值得学习和借鉴，比如这种保护头部的头套。

借鉴传统建筑的构建形式，将保护头套作为组成物，我们可以快速且大量的建造防震帐篷。

根据几何模型切分得到所需的组合单元，将保护头套按图示拼接起来组成构建物。 59
