VOXELIZED TRANSFERIUM IN ALMERE In this design process, parametric modeling, scripting are utilized for simulation and optimization purposes. Also, computer-aided manufacturing techniques are used for developing physical prototypes from a component scale to a scaled building model at different design stages. More specific, the simulation of agents based on science phenomena, swarm behavior can offer a virtual environment according to the information of the site. Voxelization as the core of the chosen design methodology helps to build an approach for transformation from point cloud to architecture.

GRADUATION PROJECT | HYPERBODY_MSC4 | Z. Song | ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO In this design process, system thinking is an important way to logically understand architecture within the larger digital context and precisely build and evaluate performative building solutions and transfer open-ended dynamic social and cultural phenomena into architectural parameters. In this context, it includes three actions: scaling, flatness and vertical dancing, which can transfer the voxelised system to specific spatial qualities of the reality. Therefore, the final product in this graduation project can be understood as the continuity of visualization. density level : 5 time: 6:30 am

“Vertical Mini Cties”

Since the 1990s, lots of tall buildings have been built sharply in big cities of China.With the construction of high buildings, architects in China have met the challenge of technology, furthermore, of the economy, politics and urbanization.In reality, when cities lack rural areas with the incease of residents,the tall buildings are often considered as mixed-use buildings including store, club, supermarket, apartment, cinema etc..It is similar to “Mini-cities”. But when the functions are mixed in a building, the issue becomes”how do the people there use available space to originate and channel a range of the initiatives.” HIGH RISE BUILDING TYPES IN THIS AREA:

Site Map

APARTMENT APARTMENT APARTMENT APARTMENT OFFICE 2 TOWERS 1 TOWER 3 TOWERS 4 TOWERS 2 TOWERS

OFFICE 1 TOWER

Traditionally, high-rise building consists of the base and the tower, and each part provides a single use or two, but people from each part have not much more chances to communicate with each other. So hybrid of spatial types should be found for new mixed functions. MAIN PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA:

45%

IN THIS COMMERCIAL AREA: 45% OF PEOPLE WORKING IN THE CENTER 55% OF PEOPLE WORKING AROUND THE CENTER

34%

IN THIS COMMERCIAL AREA: 34% OF GREEN SPACE FOR PEOPLE 66% OF GREEN SPACE FOR PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE

By twisting normal floors, each separate space will be connected with each other including fragments of small green belt. Simultaneously, activity space also can extend more than original narrow interior space, which lead to more communication of people from different domains.

CHONGQING HIGH-RISE BUILDING COMPETITION | Z. Song | ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO In this design, acitivities of people including employees and visitors can totally extend to different floors without elevator for transfering, and they get more chance to communicate in sharing space including green balconies, public sports and entertaiment space. The facade as semi-transparent meida, provide the dynamic information of modern metropolitan culture for the city, Chongqing. The facade as informal architecutral skin are more overlaping between architecture and modern cultural hyrid. The facade design proposal can be understood as the new exploration for searching the phenomenon from architectural interiority to modern urban conditions.

FLOW DYNAMIC FORMING

This project was exhibited at the Machinic Processes Architecture Biennial 2010 in Beijing, and was produced at Msc2 Design studio of Hyperbody of the TUDelft with directions of Tutor, Marco Verde. It provided challenge for us to learn the form as an actual expression of dynamic process occurring in space and time. The methodologies of form finding based on evolutionary algorithms obviously show the potential for architectural design in the digital age. The intention of this project was to create a simple, self-organized system that would act as a bridge of “flow dynamic” for the space. The patterns were based on the figure of point cloud from simulation of flow phenomenon, and were combined with techniques of superimposition of different key frames of animation of simulating flow in one space. Also, according to paper folding logic, the points were transferred into fabrication of paper sheets. Everything was accomplished in experiment of physical folding tests and digital drawing transformation in Rhino.

Fabrication and assembly logic as the important parts of design features were understood in the entire process from design to final materialization. We divided 6 categories in terms of the type of flow from simulation model. Also, we organized folding components into 78 paper sheets for laser cutting. Everything for fabrication should be considered logically and economically according to design schedule and laser cutting machine performance.

FRONT VIEW OF ONE BASIC COMPONENT

LIGHTNESS COMPOSITES Nowadays development and application of lightness technologies have largely provided sorts of possibilities for production more than the imagination from the Dyodon (1967) designed by Paul Jungmann. Lightness saves energy and materials and enhances productivity and flexibility. Simultaneously, it is ambiguous and provides more possibilities for searching forms. Also, it is a challenge for architects and engineers to rethink the endurance and weight of buildings. The intention of the Lightness workshop was to explore a group of simple lightweight components which can be flexibly connected and efficiently make up one portion of arcade. It was directed by Ed van Hinte and Marco Verde.

INVESTIGATING THE DISJUNCTION IN ROME The border conditions Msc3 studio directed by Ir. M.G.H. Schoonderbeek and Dr. ir. H. Bier gave me a special point of view to read city: Urban borders are perceived as transition that reflects the issues from ethnical, economical, racial domains etc. It has reactivated the discourse on the issue of identity in both urbanism and architecture. In this case, the investigation of the street in Rome is one activity of mapping urban periphery. When two or more different transportation systems exist in same space and time, so they constantly keep specific positions and overlap together. I took 12 photos and tried to understand the disjunction that occurred in different space of one street.

After superimposing 12 photos taken from a street in Rome according to the alignment of railway, I divided the objects from photos into different layers and then extruded the image from 2D surface to 3D space according to time line and projection of photography. The images would display the conditions of disjunction in this street.

The railway was precieved to escape from the street and freely extend itself. This abstract image would be understood as a sort of fragments of urban conditions and potentially transferred to specific forms of architecture.

The Rock

in the Walltopia Park is the new sport facility in Sophia of Bulgaria.Considering the master plan of the future development of this area, the Walltopia Park intends to radiate its sport and leisure vibes to the neighboring commercial areas. With the wall-climbing center the Rock as an anchor, and array of sport facilities, ranging from swimming pool to beach volley ball courts, scatters on plots created by the intersecting pedestrian and bike paths.

Slicing The Rock

A connection pipe slices through The Rock linking the green on the ground to the green on the roof. This pipe connects all the programmes in the building and serves as the main socializing space of the building. The main climbing hall is pierced by the pipe. Visitors can have a close encounter with the climbers even they are not part of the game. An open staircase leads climbers to the entrance of the two climbing halls - the main hall and the bouldering hall. This staircase doubles its function as an auditorium where speculators can enjoy watching climbing through the two triangular windows.

Dear sir or madam, My name is Zeying Song and as a registered architect from the Netherlands - Architect (1.120515.015) Stichting Bureau Architectenregister(SBA). I am graduated from TUDelft (Delft University of Technology) and acquired Msc degree of architecture on April of 2012. I would like to apply for an architect position in your dear company.

After five year professional architectural study ( acquired Bachelor diploma in one of 8 topmost architecture colleges of university of China in 2007, Chongqing University), I started two years(2008-2009) architectural practice in China(my motherland) especially cooperated with LDI (Local Design Institute) in Chongqing and Shenzhen, which made me more understanding about local architectural context and commercial logic.

Then, I decided to enrol myself in the architecture faculty of TUDelft to help me search the conditions of architecture in Holland better and extend scope of European architecture practice wider including academic subjects from design of public building like the studio Public Realm and research the relation

between city and architecture like Border-condition to parametric design like Hyperbody. So in this way, I acquired much wide view and skills from different domains of architecture by both methodologies: Top down and Bottom up, in both western and eastern academic scopes.

So I further hope my work in combination with your practice which will provide a wider perspective for my architecture career. So this is why I keenly write this letter to you.

Thanking You, Another thing is due to my Chinese background and experience; I can understand Chinese clients better and keep wide relations of Chinese architecture market, including collection of architectural competition information, communication with different clients etc. For instance, when I worked in MVRDV for Shanghai Hongqiao CBD (see one of projects in my portfolio), I was doing design part and simultaneously also were charge of collection comments and response to clients, to team leader and manager in whole process - from competition, SD to DD phase, which played the key role in communication between the design team and clients.

Your company constantly provides different possibilities in practical domain of architecture, and also offers different architects a platform to do creative things.

Best regards,

Zeing Song March.2013
