Nanjing Lab III - [Work]
2011-12-27
Nanjing Lab III
Architect: Yaohua Wang Architecture
Location: Nanjing, China
Structural Engineer: Organization Group
Program: Plant growing lab
Size: 200 m²
Note: Project under schematic design phase
Nanjing Lab is a plant growing lab located in the historical area of Nanjing. Different from the traditional plant lab, which focus on the attributes of plants them self, the purpose of the Nanjing lab is to test the plants’ behavior inside Nanjing city, for instance how the plants react to the polluted city air and city’s daily dust. Therefore the design focus on how to let the plant get interact with outside and meanwhile still remain the control to it.
In order to do this, in Nanjing Lab, all different plants been put into separate containers which stick out from the main volume of the building into outside environment. The container itself provide the ability to let sun light go through and controlled amount of air go through. At the same time, the form of landscape around the building help to create different humidity and solar condition around the building, to let all the container to interact with an unique environment.
In the middle of the lab, there is a central robot arm to take the core of the container out and put into storage for further research about the plant. And the control room for the robot arm is located on the south side of the building with 180 degree inside view and two blob window for exterior view.
Two big C channel steel beams are the main structure of Nanjing lab. They lift the main body of the lab off from the ground, to provide space for the underside plant containers. In between the C channel steel beams and the body of lab space are the hydraulic mechanical system to absorb the impact to the structure from movement of the central robot arm.

Beijing House II - [Work]
2011-09-18
Beijing House II
Architect: Yaohua Wang Architecture
Location: Beijing, China
Structural Engineer: Organization Group
Client: Confidential
Site: An historical factory area in Beijing, which no longer working as a factory anymore
Program: Single-family residence and creative studio
Size: 500 m²
Cost: $2 million
Completion: 2015
Note: Project under schematic design phase
Location: Beijing, China
Structural Engineer: Organization Group
Client: Confidential
Site: An historical factory area in Beijing, which no longer working as a factory anymore
Program: Single-family residence and creative studio
Size: 500 m²
Cost: $2 million
Completion: 2015
Note: Project under schematic design phase
During the modernization of Beijing, except for some historical houses, independent housing typology was almost eliminated. Afterwards, the new model became huge, stacking commercial residential buildings.
Thus, with the support of the client, project Beijing House II is trying to seek new methods of bringing the independent housing typology back to Beijing’s contemporary city life. This design scheme adds a new house onto the exterior of an obsolete factory building. Inside the house there are bedrooms, a studio and a green room. By doing this, the design uses the empty city space in the air and rediscovers the typology of independent housing in Beijing city.
Meanwhile, this scheme also brings about new challenges because Beijing has frequent earthquakes and this design scheme suggests a big cantilever house, which is attached onto the exiting building. Therefore, to keep this in mind, a mechanical system is introduced to counteract a potential earthquake.
The design attitude of this scheme is very honest when dealing with the fluid geometry and the mechanical system. This scheme tries to mix and merge these two different styles together instead of hiding any one of the two different systems. This becomes one of the main features of the design.

皇帝之城
1，涌
前阵子偶然找到了一段Jeffrey Kipnis 2002年在sciarc做的讲座，讲座的前半部分一直是在讲建筑中part to whole的关系，期间提到了rem的villa dall ava, 说villa dall ava很大程度是科布的villa savoye, 密斯的farnsworth house和philippe johnson的glass house的拼帖，并且帖的如何巧妙如何有感。所以讲座到这为止整个还算一般，直到他先举了一个上世纪60年代时的数学游戏的例子。这个游戏基本上是这样的，桌子上平均的放着一些纽扣，先将两个纽扣用线连起来，然后放下；再将另外两个纽扣连起来，然后放下；这样重复一段时间后，当你拿起一条线的时候，就会附带着提起一群纽扣。有趣的是经过数学的统计，相连着的纽扣的数量和你提起一条线时附带着的纽扣的数量呈现以下这样一种数学关系。
当连着的纽扣的数量到达一个阶段的时候，当你提起一根绳子时，附带的纽扣的数量就会突然增加。这个阶段很短暂，却是一个发生了突变的阶段。当度过这个阶段后，连着的纽扣的数量和提起一根绳子时附带的纽扣的数量就会趋于稳定。
在这个例子之后是那段著名的马达加斯加某条著名河畔拍摄到的鸟群，当鸟的数量比较少时，鸟群的活动呈现一种无规律的状态，当鸟的数量达到一定的值之后，鸟群的形状开始呈现一些明显的特征。
这种由一群互相沟通的但是非self conscious的个体在到达一定数量状态下，群体行为产生的突变，Kipnis称做emergent behavior，也就是我们家喻户晓但是通常不知所云的“涌现”。
所以，emergent behavior中，必要的元素是“互相沟通的个体”，同时这些个体要对于整体的状况"不知情，不自觉“，这些个体必须具有移动的能力，个体要达到一定数量。具备这些要素之后，才有可能出现emergent behavior. 对于Kipnis，emergent behavior是对于传统建筑中“整体到个体”构造方式（梁，柱，楼板，墙，门，窗...）的一种critique. 这样的critique方式，聪明的地方在于，将当时热门的逐渐在建筑中出现的计算机应用，和周边学科的知识，以及传统建筑的行为方式联系在了一起。在知觉建筑师本身面对的局限（我们操作的媒介是规范化后的工业产品，不可能是无限多的可变的小单元）的同时，又给人一种潜力无限的幻觉。留了很大的对于未来这样的理论可以如何发展的可能，成功的挑逗了当时的建筑师的那根自觉被束缚的同时又想挑战束缚的犯贱的神经。
当若干年过去之后，随着建筑师们那股犯贱的劲儿消停之后，涌现也就消失在人群中了，甚至Kipnis也只字不提了。
2，皇帝之城
Bartlett 最近很红，一系列的基于scenario的建筑表达，着实是抽象缥缈而动人。皇帝之城(Link)当然是其中代表之一。
这种抽象缥缈而动人同时一点理论都没有的东西决对不能说是新的，某些建筑师干这个有阵子了。但为什么最近会这么红？人们看腻了PCAD。
3，每个人都有过他的时代（但愿）
前两天参加了sciarc的一个review, 其中忘了讲哪个project的时候不知道怎么回事突然一个忘了叫什么名字的jury提起了wes jones. 他说，八九十年代的时候，当时wes可是红了一阵子，每个人都在默默的偷学做机械的东西，然后说他最近经过了wes一个建成的房子的时候，感觉不也就那么回事么，wes一直在讲他自己的理论，但是他觉得其实wes本质上一直是在做form，然后说什么虽然现在wes的理论和关注的点不太和时下流行的东西那么relevant了，不过wes有过他的时代，等等。
我坐在一边，虽然很多不太同意这个sb讲的东西，但是脑子里却明白了一点为什么Kipnis明知是在瞎扯还要把emergent behavior扯进建筑里来——emergent就是kipnis的皇帝之城。
每个人都想要有他的时代，而找到这个时代的唯一方式就是拿些新东西出来。拿出来新的东西之后，在别人试图反驳或是赞同或是怀疑或是模仿这个新东西的这几年，就是你的时代。然后在人们厌倦了去反驳或是赞同或是怀疑或是模仿这个东西之后，你的时代就过去了。
这样折腾的意义在于，首先你会被记住，然后你给建筑这场游戏里带来了张新牌。当这张新牌被消化忘记放到一边之后，就成了默认牌。哪天一时大家都发明不出新牌，把这张久违的旧牌翻出来的时候。你还会被想起，还可以再当一回建筑这座城里的皇帝，哪怕短暂。
于是在但愿每个人都有他的时代的美好愿望的背后，就是，如果你一直是玩别人的牌，无论你如何玩的好，如何爱媒体，如何爱营销，如何爱出书，如何爱讲座，如何爱教studio，如何爱开分公司，也都永远不会有你的时代。
希望大家都可以在这座城里作几天皇帝。
