Movies are different from reality in that it is 2d projection of 4d life, yet endeavors to give the audience a feeling of reality. Some films have gone beyond everydaylife so that the distance from the lobby to the film hall seem ages.

My idea is to make this transition smoothier, or , to create a blur, virtual, a bit mysterious public space that can connect the dull reality with the exciting virtual film experience.

6 cinema halls in total are arranged alongside the atrium which is a covered public space. This space is the machine of public or communal activities as well as transport spaces. The umbrella-like structure of the shield is connected to the steel truss + concrete slab structure. The shield serves as a transition space before access.

CoMplex Context

SUPPORT TEMPELHOf

The aim of the course was to make architectural interventions in a self-chosen site in berlin with concern to the complex context. We chose the disused airport Tempelhof, which has turned into a park when we went there. The unique quality of infinity of the field, the lack of basic facilities, as well as its overlapping historical layers, were the crucial concerns in the course of design. We decided to make very light interventions in order to keep the infinite quality, and to support the park by opening up the boundaries to the public, and adding an efficient system of facilities.

Inside the field, small structures we call 'stations' are distributed in a system related to the walking distance. There are 3 types of stations supporting various levels of basic needs, enabling a reference of distance, a sense of scale and orientation. By setting up rigid grids, the field is given a new order, but when they are combined, they seem random. At night they become lights of three different colors.

Larger garbage bins with a concrete surface. The white and red colors are common in airport constructions since they are easily recognized in the green field..

The form of the bike standers comes from elevated approach lights in the airport. These lights also glow in the dark.

Another garbage bin 300 meters away!

The larger water station provide wind shed, tap water , toilet and shower. vertical plastic stripes are easily seen with blue and white color.

I’m thirsty, is there some water?

The spiral wall create transition from public space to more private need, while the sense of openness is still indicated, the curtain for example.

BLUE GRID

Small and good-looking, Vertical axis wind turbines line up like elevated approach lights, providing space for sitting and electricity based activities.

All the stations are designed highly accesible for handicaped people, as well as people on other kind of wheels.

The vertical axis wind turbines generate electricity and send it to the utility grid in Berlin, servicing the other yellow stations.

Yellow trianles are wind sheds and electricity stations!

Some grid point are located on the runway, which then turn into painted ground signs, leading to the station near the road.

The stations have different sizes and forms to be flexible to fit the specific condition. But in general we keep the size within human scale, to achieve a sense of intimacy for people in the vast land who looking for a shelter or toilet.

PATH TO THE PARKinDiViDUAL wORKDURATiOn: 2014.9~2015.1 LOCATiOn: wilrijk, AntwerpPart of a bigger project about sustainable densification of the area, KU Leuven

This task was intended as a small scale intervention of 'Designing future proof neighbourhoods for the 20th Century Belt of Antwerp'. The course deals with urban densification in a sustainable way within the Flemish context. Through our experience on site, lack of connection between the urban spaces makes it hard to identify and orientate, green spaces are trapped by privated occupations. There is an urgency to open up the long block and make public greenary more accessible.The project is an experiment to test out small scale densification which bring about urban effects.

C o m m u n i c a t i o n i s e n l a r g e d between the house and the passers-by, and between the two families.From the street, passers see a small path, and a small courtyard hidden behind the low wall at the entrance. The two families share the entrance and the courtyard, using seperate staircases seperated by a common wall. Each floor they each take one side.
