CLOSER - Studio Description

In response to the urgent need o reducing our resource ootprint the studio will investigate architec-

ture that is closer - it maybe an architecture closer to the body, or closer to the goal o reducing energy

use, closer to a uture vision o sharing resources rather than replicating endlessly redundant architec-

ture that sees little or no use or closer to our use o technology in everyday lie. In the 1960’s groups such

as Archigram, Haus Rucker and others promoted a reinvention o architecture through new technology.

New technology also plays an important role today both as an inspiration or new approaches to space

making and implementation but also in terms o how we conceive o using our current and uture built

environment. But more importantly the needs or changes throughout our built world are more urgent

than ever and cannot stay an utopian vision or a stylistic choice.

The studio will run through a series o three scales starting out with an architecture or one, than three

and nally nine people as the only xed reerence or the development o a program and site or the

intervention. In parallel to developing and documenting the design it is required to document the use

o material, how much is used and how, the production process and ultimately what would be the dis-

posal strategy.

Computational design and physical prototyping will play an important role in the studio at all stages o

the development and parametric modeling and programming techniques will be introduced as neces-

sary.

Disposable drafting gloves

This exercise is approached by designing a unctional object closely related to a human body. As an architecture student, the experience o

hand drating reminds me o my hands smudging by pencil drawings. The problem comes rom the desire to nd an alternate solution to re-

quently washing hands. Using thin paper as a starting material is related to the disposable nature while possibly environmental riendly. The

glove is meant to be disposed once it blackens to certain degree.

Iterations

Development are made while ‘hand on’ experimentation with the prototype. The direction is to improve the comort o wearing it, reduce

obstruction to viewing the drawing and also simplicity in manuacturing.

Computer modelling stage

Another approach or the solution which partly also act as a computer modeling/prototyping exercise is to model the glove in computer,

which aims at a close t or the hand, while using dierent stitching pattern to create the prototype with developable surace.

Architecture studio for one person

This project aims to explore and redene the dense situation in an architecture studio. Focusing only on one person, all desired unctions that

one might need is vertically intertwined in a 1.8m square oor area.

(Inspiration came rom the high headroom in the Princeton SOA studio space)

puter table, modeling, storage, dining, living, reading and sleeping areas.

The problem is to create a building that deals with three people, I decided to propose an architecture

studio outside the SOA in Princeton as a luxury working place or three outstanding students

Early Sketches

Initially the there is a restriction on the ootprint or the design, a 4m by 12 meter rectangle with the long side acing the SOA.

3D Sketches are made in computer and prototyped physically.

They aim to carry a recognizable notion o three people working together.

First Scheme - Architecture emerge from the ground

Deriving rom an idea that the process o creating architecture is actually equally interesting as the nal result; and can be speculated by the

public while the action o the three student within the studio act as part o the display.

This scheme engages the public with a notion that architectural design emerging rom the ground, working space are placed underground

which progressively rising according to the stage o the design process, where the gallery is in the highest place ronting the SOA.

This scheme paid attention on creating a building which brings the process happening inside the building closer to pedestrians.

» The design was reversed inside-out, the

central void is dened by a set o circular

volume which increase in radius as they

move up (modelled in Grasshopper)

» The result is a large oor area at the base;

the atrium rises up to all oors

» The space are divided between public

galleries and artists’ oce, all viewing into

to atrium where artists would collaborate

working on installation art

» The orm is populated by script then

manually removing some circles to achieve

desirable porosity
