STATEMENT

Loacated in the c i ty center of Wuhan, the s i te of th is project was squeezed in an o ld d istr ict . A l though the apartment rent i s re lat ive ly h igh in th is d istr ict with rea l ly dense populat ion, the consumption levels per capita was below the average. The start point of th is project was to serve th is low consumptionla l area with proper consumer but a lso br ing not ivated l i fe sty le into the o ld d istr ict .

This project inc luded 2 seperate bui ld ings . The ground f loors were reta i l s and the upper f loors were res ident ia ls .

11

The apartment bui ld ings were cons isted of var ious apartment types. The arrangement of a l l these var iat ions each had at least one bedroom fac ing south or ientat ion and the k i tchen fac ing north. A lso the var iat ion in tenant 's occupat ions would create innovat ive communicat ions in the community.

L ight ing can effect the wel l be ing of humans. The v isual effect of l ight inc ludes object contrast , v is ib i l i ty, and task performance. One of the non-v isual effects of l ight i s to in i t iate c i rcadian rhythm. By adopt ing both v isual and non-v isual effects of l ight into des ign cr i ter ia , incremental numbers of hospita ls are cons ider ing l ight ing qual i ty into the hospita l des ign. A good l ight ing environment with proper color d istr ibut ion and l ight ing contrast wi l l enhance funct ional performance for both pat ients and staff. Boost ing c i rcadian regulat ion can prevent and treat insomnia, decrease del i r ium rates in intens ive care units , and increase a lertness rate of performance. In that case, l ight ing p lays an important ro le for the wel l be ing of pat ients . In c i rcumstances that there i s no suff ic ient natura l l ight , the art i f ic ia l l ight should compensate the l ight ing needs for human’s health. This research project gathers informat ion from the latest research on pat ient room l ight ing des ign to form the bas ic metr ic for healthy hospita l inter ior l ight ing. The object ive of the project i s to provide comprehensive des ign guidel ines for pat ient rooms where natura l l ight i s ineff ic ient . The methodology of th is research is s imulat ing mult ip le l ight ing condit ions of a windowless pat ient room. By changing the number of l ight sources or us ing d i fferent types of l ight f ix ture, the pat ient room wi l l have d i fferent l igt ing condit ions. This study wi l l compare d i fferent l ight ing so lut ions of the pat ient room based on the s imulat ion results and conclude with an opt imized l ight ing des ign for th is room. Also genera l l ight ing guidel ines for windowless pat ient room wi l l be suggested.

Neuro-Sonic Space is a research-based studio project . The object ive of th is project i s achiev ing h igh accuracy of understanding the bra in b iofeedback f rom audio st imul i . I t cons ists of two parts : the interact ive interface and the analyt ica l d iagram. The interact ive interface is an operat ing tool to manipulate sound sources. The analyt ica l d iagram is the methodology of reading the t ime-based performance.The Neuroaesthet ics i s a subject born with the cur ios i ty and adventure of human beings . In the Neuro-Sonic Space, there are severa l short comes of the des ign. An ideal exper iment ing environment i s ‘pure dark ’. I t means there should not be other ambient st imul i except the sound coming out f rom the speaker. No ambient l ights , l imited l ight ing on the exper iment p lat form, no external efforts such as re lat ive ly strong a i r convect ion and no uncomfortable smel l . However, the methodology of d iagrammatic analys is should be a lways part of the neuroaesthet ics explorat ion. The del icacy of d iagram is capable of going further to develop the unknown f ie ld of neurosc ience.

The interact ive interface is an operat ing tool to manipulate sound sources. The main components of the interact ive interface inc lude a channel mixer, a stereo speaker, two mp3 player, a recorder, an iPad, a MindWave bra in interface and corre lated cables . The performance of manipulat ing the interact ive interface is the act ion of the project . Users can adjust the stereo ampl i tude on the channel mixer. There are two channels of sound sources connected to the mixer. The f i rst channel p lays sect ions f rom Beethoven Sonata op. 109, and the other channel p lays random sound effects such as noise, mechanica l sound and water dr ipping sound. Actant should wear the bra in interface headset to detect EEG data whi le he/she is operat ing on the channel mixer. The bra in interface is connected with the iPad on B luetooth. The software Visual izer on IPad by MindWave wi l l read EEG data and v isual ized them by indicat ing the ampl i tude of del ta , theta, low a lpha, h igh a lpha, low beta, h igh beta, low gamma and high gamma bra inwaves to the radius of the loop and generates a constant morphed loop. The Visual izer a lso p lays back a soothing sound when the user i s in a meditat ion state. The whole act ion of interact ing with sounds wi l l be recorded by the Sony recorder. Users can p layback the whole process of audio manipulat ion.

In the recent neurology studies , we have known that the prefronta l cortex i s h ighly interconnected with much of the bra in, inc luding extens ive connect ions with other cort ica l , subcort ica l and bra in stem s i tes . The dorsa l prefronta l cortex i s especia l ly interconnected with bra in reg ions involved with attent ion, cognit ion and act ion.P lay ing a musica l instrument i s an intense, mult isensory, and motor exper ience that usual ly commences at an ear ly age and requires the acquis i t ion and maintenance of a range of sensory and motor sk i l l s over the course of a music ian’s l i fet ime. Thus, music ians offer an excel lent human model for studying behaviora l -cognit ive as wel l as bra in effects of acquir ing , pract ic ing , and mainta in ing these specia l i zed sk i l l s . P last ic i ty in th is network may expla in some of the sensor imotor and cognit ive enhancements that have been assoc iated with music t ra in ing. (Schlaug , 2015)

The analyt ica l d iagram depicts the measurement of the act ion. I t i s a new notat ion that can record t ime, ampl i tude, emotion, tonal informat ion and EGG systemat ica l ly with in one charte. In th is project , I used the analyt ica l d iagram to document the process of p lay ing a Beethoven Sonata in a rea l p iano. The analyt ica l gr id in the background represents 4 .5 seconds unit in X ax is . The top row is the re-transcr ipt of the or ig ina l scores of Beethoven Sonata, g iv ing only notes in the chart . The second row to the n inth row is the EEG data. There is a layer of subject ive concentrat ion index over lapping the EEG waves. The bottom row is the sonic wave. Severa l key moments were se lected due to the specia l bra in b iofeedback. The key moments of the process ing i s marked by cursors with accurate t ime keys .

The Water-Scape Project i s an interact ion des ign to create a meditat ion moment by generat ing severa l water sounds. An IPod is used in the presentat ion of the project . There are severa l common hand movements of ce l lphone people gesture when they are not us ing i t . For instance, people commonly swing their arms whi le hold ing ce l lphones. Or people rotate the ce l lphone or f l ip over i t . The water-Scape Project adopts these casual hand gestures of ce l lphone to tr igger water sounds that can imply s imi lar gestures people would make with water.

Rotat ing the ce l lphone imitates screwing the faucet . Swinging the ce l lphone imitates paddl ing water. Throwing ce l lphone up and down imitates bubbl ing under water. The water sound creates a t ranqui l and peaceful moment for meditat ion

The start ing point of th is project i s an o ld Chinese paint ing , ent i t led E ighteen Songs of a Nomad F lute. The paint ing sophist ica l ly depicted a part ia l t radit ional Chinese bui ld ing complex with courtyards and thresholds . The character ist ics of ‘growing ’ l ike a cont inuing fabr ic have indicated the form of mat-bui ld ing. Three precedents were analysed to understand their organizat ional pr inc ip le - the P ingyao Confuc ian Temple, the Venice Hospita l proposal by Le Corbus ier and the Free Univers i ty Ber l in . These pr inc ip les were appl ied to the Dundee Waterfront area to test the potent ia l for a mat approach to form publ ic and pr ivate urban space. Wal ls cores and pavi l ions are cons idered as e lements forming an external envelope with so l ids and voids with in. The pavi l ions are attached to the enclos ing wal ls to act as buttresses , and inner pav i l ions are f ree of street e levat ion. By transcr ib ing f ragments , the creat ive process i s l iberated from preconcept ions of urban orthodoxy.

S u s t a i n a b i l i t y A g e n d a

The proposal i s des igned to be bui l t over t ime through construct ion. F i rst ly the wal ls and buttress are bui l t to enc lose the s i te and create a wal led green park for the publ ic . The buttresses are des igned not only as load-bear ing structures , but a lso act as serv ice cores for future pav i l ions . Once the wal l e levat ions are complete, the bui l t form contr ibutes to the adjacent urban spaces. The inner pav i l ions can be completed incremental ly. Whi le one or more of the pav i l ions are under construct ion, the other parts can remain as e i ther publ ic parks or completed pavi l ions .

By comparat ive analys is of examples of P ingyao Confuc ian Temple, Venice Hospita l and Ber l in Free Univers i ty, these three prototypes of mat-bui ld ing have d ist inct ive environmental strategies of the courtyards and open spaces. For the sake of better compar isons which would be benef ic ia l for the Dundee Waterfront b lock, I introduced a ru le that t ransformed each cases to f i t into a Dundee waterfront masterplan.

F i rst ly I chose some fragments which would present the characters best for each cases as graphic patterns . For example, the f ragments f rom Pingyao Confuc ian Temple are a l l p icked from one s ide of the b lock because of the symmetr ic layout of the Chinese architecture. The fragments f rom Free Univers i ty Ber l in are square sect ions d iv ided by the c i rculat ion matr ix . And the fragments f rom Venice Hospita l are square sect ions conta in ing vert ica l c i rculat ions. Then those fragments were super imposed on Dundee waterfront b locks and were pul led up in d i fferent layers to meet up with the counci l proposed f loor area.

The outcomes gave us a stra ight forward look at the re lat ionship between external spaces and internal spaces in d i fferent patterns . However, as architecture, those pattern b locks should be evaluated in terms of actual funct ions, sca les , dens i ty, etc . With cr i t ica l analys is of each patterns , then an opt imal result of architectura l des ign can be appl ied to Dundee Waterfront .

The factual project of Free Univers i ty Ber l in Bui ld ing(1962) cons ists of a ser ies of inter l inked structures , surrounding a var iety of leafy courtyards . This project i s a lso known as a prototype of mat-bui ld ing.

- V E N I C E H O S P I TA L -

The f i rst vers ion of Venice Hospita l by Le Corbus ier i s known as the rev iva l of mat-bui ld ing which shows strong characters of the sprawl ing with repeatable structura l e lements .

P ingyao Old c i ty i s one of the best conserved ancient c i ty in China, which has kept the or ig ina l c i ty spaces c i rca 1400 AD. The Confuc ian Temple in P ingyao Old C i ty i s an educat ional architecture which was used as a worship venue in Condfus ious Fest iva l and a school in other occas ions .

NATURAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AS

INFLUENTIAL TO EDGE STRATEGIES AND POLICIES

STATEMENT: Many baronia l estates were bui l t in the 12th - 17th century in North-East Scot land and have surv ived C iv i l War and re l ig ious conf l ict . In the same t ime, as the h istory in 1770 – 1870 has a s igni f icant improvement in agr icul ture and transportat ion in UK and a l l around the wor ld in terms of the f i rst Industr ia l Revolut ion started from the south in 1765, the everyday l i fe and act iv i t ies in baronia l bui ld ings were changed and as wel l for the la i rds and servants when a refurbishment on the s i te occurred.

The component of landscapes in the Cast le Fraser Estate, except of the main tower bui ld ing , depicted on a estate map of 1788 are four pr inc ipa l roads, a wal led garden, enc los ing woodlands and a park land. A minor road between Kemnay and Dunecht bui l t before 16th century determines the estate s i te in gent le back h i l l terra ins as wel l in convenience of t ransportat ion and a personal benef i t or fashionable trends for the landowner, which inf luenced and changed the landscape on the s i te f i rst ly known as Muchal l of Mar.

By imposing efforts , we use hands to force the stress point changing the or ig ina l state. By shaping the palms, we hold objects ranging f rom sol id mater ia ls to l iquid. Even by rough sk in surface, we scrub to wipe out d i r t f rom the other objects . Those facts are why we are hav ing our fore l imbs as hands today.By shoot ing d i fferent hand gestures f rom top and s ide v iew, the hand movement tra jectory i s documented. F ive c l ips are p icked from the v ideo and each of them represents a hyperextens ion moment. The f ive moments are latter ly employed to f ive facets of sa l t b lock and generate a perforated geometr ic form. In interpretat ion of the perforated geometr ic form in terms of architecture, there are severa l precedents of cave architecture. The Ajanta Caves in India are about 30 rock-cut Buddhist cave monuments . The caves can be reserved for ser ious students of art , architecture, archaeology and meditat ion. The form of sa l t b lock i s h ighly suggest ive to a meditat ion atmosphere.
