PROJECT ABSTRACT

The project examines two building typologies. The

goal is divided into multiple phases that lead to

structural and spatial development. The two projects

focus on the design of speculative buildings with

two distinct conditions (vertical and horizontal) at

two distinct sites (open and infill). The project ex-

plores the social and physical construct of urbaniza-

tion from a systems theory point of view. The project

pedagogy stresses a process driven design method-

ology. The goal focuses on the city as fluid urban ter-

ritories which are materialized by dynamic processes

and relationships that exhibit emergent properties.

The project is designed building infrastructures that

tectonically express innovative structures, material,

and spatial qualities. As part of the design process, I

develop building schemes that have interactive zones

of performance, circulation and information net-

works, and hybridized program scenarios. Analytical

diagramming becomes the generator for the design

outcome in all three projects. Spatial and structural

development are in response to multiple levels of

research discovered in the diagrams. The projects

question and are informed by the local context of the

sites, program specificity as well as larger global is-

sues which are discussed from assigned readings. The

project continuously questions, invent and invert the

relationship between landscape architecture, interior

architecture, and architecture design to create a

holistic environment. It is an opportunity to explore

the architecture projects as social infrastructure

implanted with flows of information which determine

new interface and shape public space inside and out.

METHODOLOGY

The project emphasizes a process driven design meth-

odology through individually developed rule-based

techniques. Generative processes are emphasized in

the development of two and three-dimensional

drawing and structure-making procedures. Focus is

placed on inventing strategies to transfer analysis

into tectonic visualizations that utilize structure,

pattern, and organization to create comprehensive

architectural buildings.

Within both project., there are a series of the key

may term assign order ned to clarify and narrow

down modes of analysis and operation. The project is

divided into specific objectives that describe the con-

ceptual framework and rules for model-making and

drawing. This includes clarifying the processes

of investigation, abstraction, and invention through

a range of procedures, materials, and techniques.

Design intent includes a shift from contents to pat-

terns, quantities to qualities, objects to relationships,

parts of the whole, composition to processes, hierar

chies to networks, measuring to mapping. The pro-

jects respond accordingly to the specific sites of the

investigation by introducing an architecture that is

reactive utilizing proposing to either/or/and integrate

into the context field, occupy the context field or

transform the context field.

BIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR ANALYSISSEA ANEMONES

Sea anemones have two ways of reproducing, sexual

and asexual reproduction. The asexual reproduction

is lateral fission, and it also called binary fission. The

asexual reproduction of sea anemones occurs in five

steps in cell mutation, being triggered, budding,

fission, fragmentation, and regeneration.

The first stage of a prokaryotic cell involves the movement

of the protein distributed in the interior of the cell. As

the proteins begin to move closer by waving and shaking

to the center of the cell.

Trigger

_Undulating

_Agitating

_Rotating

The plasma membrane (shell of the cell) begins to

elongate into an oval shape, and the protein and DNA

replicate at the same time. This oval shape is the

second phase of mutation.

Budding

_Agitating

_Elongating

_Multiplying

The third phase is when the plasma membrane begins

to split and leaves the protein in the center of the cell.

The DNA of the cell splits and pushes towards the outer

walls of the membrane creating a force.

Fission

-Pushing

-Increasing

-Constricting

The fourth phase creates a septum or a wall around the

two daughter cells. While the DNA is still pushing out-

wards, the protein is dividing and beginning to re-enter

the two cells.

Fragmentation

_Squeezing

_Agitating

_Splitting

The final stage is when the two daughter cells have split

with a DNA strand in each cell and the same amount of

Regeneration protein in each cell.

There are a lot of womens boutiques

but fewer mens boutiques in this area.

This situation divides the targets into

two main groups (male and female).

The process shows the transition from

a large group (budding) to

two sub-groups (fission).

This area has a lot of advertising

billboard which triggers the shoppers

to notice the benefits of buying a

specific product. Then, they start

moving toward their targets (budding)

and separating from the main group

temporarily.

This is the entrance area and the main

intersection of the flow of people from

outside the mall and coming down

from the other floors. This intersection

is also the main circulation, which

leads the different group to their

targets (budding and fission), and

there are some advertisements which

influence customers(trigger).

The basement area is the dining area. The smells

trigger the customers sense of taste (trigger). Then,

they break into smaller groups in line in front of the

restaurant (fission). After eating, they join the

main group upstairs for shopping (regeneration).

Regenera-tion

The sub-flows continue to spread

out into the corridor. When the

sub-flows get to the stores, which

cater to a specific gender, some

of sub-flows change color to

either blue or red.

The main flow breaks into

more and more sub-flows in

the Westfield Mall. Then

they spread out to the first

dome of the Westfield Mall.

When the shopping flows interact

with the bio-elements (advertising

billboard, intersection, escalator,

and smell), it starts dividing into

several smaller sub-flows.

The shopping flow

merges from street

to the entrance of

the Westfield Mall.
