PORT-FOLIO

year 2 design studio: Water Refined Individual Work

Design Brief:

The Original Studley Boathouse situated on a picturesque river bend in Yarra Bend Park featuring a restaurant, kiosk, cafe and a boat club which offers hiring and storage ser-vices.

The theme of the studio is to ‘learn from the master’ and propose a new design for the Boathouse based on the design philosophy we abstracted from the master.

In my studio, the master architect are Herzog & de Mueron.

Figure 2: Perspective View from the river

Figure 1: Conceptual Drawing

The idea of this design is to create a new boathouse which embrace this picturesque site. Its form comes from a series of testing based on site analysis so it can has the maximum views over the river and a rational-ized spatial relationships.

The following scheme is a further developed conceptu-al design of the original scheme.

Site Analysis

The site is located in the Studley park next to the Yarra River. The key features of the site is its pic-turesque surroundings.

It is a beautiful river bend where you can see the water flowing from the east and turn towards the north. So based on the views and its site context, I developed this site analysis diagram.

As you can see, there are nearly 140 degrees on the northern side that has great views worth ex-ploring. So based on this diagram and my intention to fully use this advantage. I decide to change the original contextual relation-ship of the site.

Learn From the master

In the projects I selected from master Herzog & De Mueron’s previous designs, there are three main design philosophies I will try to learn from.

1. Function determine Form2. The use of Courtyard3. The use of “Stripe”s as design form

Based on the master’s design philosophies, I started experimenting with these design elements, and combining the result with my site analysis in order to rationalize it.

The conceptual drawing(Fighre 1) which briefly Summarized my design intention.


Design Elements: Firstly, I start to experiment with the possibilities of how can a space been divided into stripes two-dimensionally. The stripes can be either with equal width or not and the number of stripes can varies as well. From the results shown in Figure 8, It is clear that the possibilities of these arrangement can be infinite. There can be even more possibilities if we try to split the space three dimensionally(Figure 7). The changes of the stripes sizes and the direction and orientation of the stacking will always lead to more possibilities and more potentials.

As a result, I need to introduce more variables to determine which would be the best in this situation. Therefore, I decide to look back into the site analysis and design brief.

Kitchen were placed next to

the resturant and near the Café as well.

This 120° vision is the best view available on site.

Resturant is placed facing north east side of the river.

Stacking the elements to avoid

blocking the views from

each other . Also, to adapt to the sloping

site and allow people

passing underneath.

The toilets will be hidden inside the mountain so that it will have minimum impact to

the whole site.

big therefore I placed the Office and Storage area underneath it

to support the span.

Function Determine Form + Stripe

The relationship between every function is different, some have stronger bond such as kitchen and restaurant, which means they should not only physically close to each other, but also have to have a simple circulation to travel among these two. Similar rules apply to all other functions(seen Figure 8)

Therefore, based on the need of the functions and their relationship, using stripe as a shell for every function then stack them according to site analysis.

Figure 9 shows how every place relates. Due to the height differences, this design was able to create more public space for landscape and public activities while still able to keep all the views. Figure 9: Function Relationship Figure 10: Spatial Relationship

Building Block Diagram

Vertically the building is divided into three levels, The first level is the restaurant with both indoor and outdoor dinning area. The kitchen has a long horizontal window for them to showcasing their cooking skills.

The ground level is where most of the amenities at such as the cafe, Kiosk, Office, Public Toilet etc. Because most of the first floor were sup-ported by a grid of steel columns. The open space created by it will be used for landscaping or future potential public activities.

The lower level is for the boat hiring and storage as it is connected to the river. The space underneath the canter-livered areas can be used as a storage space for the boats.

year 3 design studio: Air

Design Brief:The Wave Pavilion, is a school project based on a competition called LAGI 2014. According to the brief, we need to design a public place which can act as a a land of art as well as an ultility scale power generator.

Another key requirement is to use Rhino and Grasshopper as the main software for the design.

Design Agenda:Based on the development of current technology and artistic consideration. It has to be able to response to its context as well as distinguish itself from it to indicate the trend of new development in the area.My design is a large pavilion which provides shelter underneath and sufficient surface to install solar panels to generates a ultility scale solar energy.

Site Analysis

Group Work, Refined after Graduation


ConceptThe concept of this design comes from its context. The site is a man-made land which was once an important part of a major harbor. It is surrounded by the sea and was located right opposite of the famouse 'Little Mermaid' statue.

Since both historically and geologically the site is closely related with the sea. Therefore I decide to use Wave as my concept for this design.

The up sand downs of waves often used to symbolize changes over time. Which is the same theme I am trying to convey in this design.

The wave pavillion is a symbolic feature which symbolized the history of the site as well as showing the future of the site. A younger and greener Copenhagen.

From the previous analysis, I gained a set of referencing points. With these points I developed a set of reference lines that I

can use to experiment in Rhino.

By moving these curves vertically and horizontally as well as trim them accroing

to the circulation. I was able to create more reference lines. Then using these lines I developped a surface that I can

planneling with.

Only till I got this form. I started to use grasshopper to work out the supporting

structuture. I do not want the idea of parametric design dominate my own ideas. Or tools determine my design.

Therefore, grasshopper was only used to panel the frame-structure for the surface.

year 3 design studio: Air Group Work, Refined after Graduation

Summary

This version of design was a refined version after I graduated from school. This is because after I started working, I found that there are so many aspects of design that needs to be rationalized. And due to the limitation of our knowledge and time, the result still have much to be improved.

As a result, although I am still not an expert in solar or civil engineering, but I restarted the design process based on our original idea. And designwise, I rationalized our concept development and the generation process of our form. Also, I redeloped our structure frame from a random triangular pattern (previous page Figure 1) into a fixed size of rectangular pattern so it can be more compatible with solar pannels.

These is just the changes I made to rationalize the concept design. However, constructibility and power efficiency still needs to be further investigated in order to get a more practical design.

Internal Layout development

Control of area factors is a means of using selected fundamental elements to rede-fine the area or space. often used in facade or plan layout. I used it to analysis the space needed for every level and how should they be distributed.

In this way, the internal layout and facade design will be more rational and closely related to the concept.

Summary

The pattern of the facade was derived from the pattern of the brickwork commonly seen in Brunswick. I used a scaled dimension of a most commonly used brick to be my basic element. Also the stagger pattern is a reflection of its neighborhood character.

However, the characteristic of Outré Gallery and Brunswick need something special. Therefore, based on the pat-tern i choose, the use of bold color and new materials will help this design distinguish itself from its neighborhood while still able to fit into the trendy context of Brunswick.

This project is a part of the major urban development in Shenzhen, one of the most developed city in China. Compare to the scale of this project, I was only a very small part of the entire design. However, the reason why I place it into my portfolio is because it is the first project that show me how useful a multi-dis-ciplinary approach can be to a design. A group of experts such as Urban Plan-ners, Civil Engineers, Service Engineers, Quantity Surveyor, Land Surveyor and more, work together to turn this design from concept to reality. Every factors can lead to a change of form or layout. Many aspects needs to be consid-ered which is a very different experience from school projects.
