Week6 - Keywords + 18 One point perspective


Keywords

1. SMART SCHOOL
Theory: 
The design of the project is based on a both unifying and expanding concept that bridges between school complex, nature and modern society in the form a diverse, including and activating learning environment. 
Keywords: 
Collaboration: Architecture is united with the landscape to form an open learning center and civic space in the center to build a school park.
Responsive space: The learning spaces expands traditional use and incorporate activities supporting experiential learning based on the learning process. 
Conglomeration: Each building with various functions expands from the center where is the core active and social place for students and academic stuff. The center is then interconnected by spaces with different functions.
Circular configuration: The circle sparks imagination with the open and inviting surface which is not limited by the linear and rule-based movement but incites the play and exploration.
Contextualization: The roofed area create transitions between indoor and outdoor area, the center and landscaping by creating the spaces for physical activities, social interaction, and relaxation. 
Positive behaviorsArchitectural means that qualities affect our senses to such a degree that they have a great impact on our behavior. Early stars often have physical counterparts which can be translated into room types.
The best learning environments are found in specific and specialized but at the same time diverse surroundings in which students are able to find space and room for their individual preference.

2. MOKYEONRI
Theory: 
The project name, “MOKYEONRI”, means a harmony between trees from different roots, which identifies architecture of a series of spatial experience sensing diverse attributes of wood.
Keywords:
Spatial harmony: The architecture itself strengthens the experience of wood through seeing, smelling, hearing, touching from public view and thus forms a harmonious environment with the surrounding forest.
Abstraction of nature: Sunlight between the leaves falls down to the Ambience Wall and moves according to the wind, showing the variation of the urban environment during the different time of the day.

Week2 - Stair Submission

Below ground: Auto Fabrica

'Extreme in all of its proportions and aesthetics' (Quotation from the product description of Auto Fabrica)

The concept of this stair comes from the word 'emerge' by animating the movement of designers or spectators. The spiral staircase is more space efficient than regular ones and looks aesthetically. The s-shape represents the fluid circulation of motorcycles swerving up on the highway, generating a compositional rhythm as the nature of motorcyclesAdditionally, it combines the idea of spiral and ramp, which allows designers to bring their manufactured motorcycles up and down to the display room. The ramp is particularly designed outward the spiral in order to facilitate the movement of motorcycles.





Above ground: Off-White


'Fashion opens the conversation.'
'Off-White is a playground where I attempt to get the world to understand my ideas.'

-Virgil Abloh, the designer of  Off-White

The concept of this stair comes from the word 'conversation', quoted from Virgil Abloht, the designer of Off-White. This staircase is considered to be the welcoming gesture that allows designers and spectators to either walk through directly or start conversations on the side seating area. The different length of each step gives the sense of floating. As Off-White is a luxury fashion brand, their products can also be displayed elegantly on the two sides of the staircase to attract attention and communicate with their clients. Under another circumstance, the stair can also be the runway which allows models to demonstrate clothing and accessories and then the two side seats can be the audience area. Additionally, the space behind the stair can also be utilised as the storage area.
