Partial Ground Massing

Reorganizing Programmatic Components

Rules of Subdivision

Structural lines are generated following the rules of subdivision.
In the scientific discourse, it governs the organic chaos of the world. In the context of the design, it is deployed by reacting to the immediate site context. The first order joins the corner and mid-points of bordering facades. Following this principle, the second order and the roof lines are developed. This rule-based organization enables aggregation while responding to the spatial, temporal and social demands. Its potential in creating noise with layers and subtraction aligns itself with the design intention of a site-sensitive and transformable social scaffold.

Sectional Programmatic Distribution

Section in progress

This is three sets of information overlapped into one drawing. The black lines and labels denote floor plates at the major section across the stage, while the colour blocks are area distribution along the scaffold. The two sets of information work together to form an efficient circulation hierarchy, it will be summarized in another diagram.

From Wall to Scaffold

Wedges for the temporary stalls and circulation can be produced by weaving two sufaces together. Each of those surfaces can then be projected to form the curved enclosures.

Draft Section

Interconnected Volumes and Partial Enclosure

The different spaces are first loosely connected by drawing a continuous line around the main circulation route, from which a surface is built upon. This surface behaves like the mobius strip as studied before. It creates a boundary suggesting how the different programs spatially dissect.
