3D model

concept

The shape of these concepts are based on a cutting apple.

futher concept

This design is an opening space, and I left enough space for people to walk around the garden.  The idea is coming from an apple.

Materials

Wood

the wood is the nature material, it can be used after it processed. wood meet above criteria of sustainable materials. it provides many options for us to choose, any type has different hardness and textures. Hardwoods are commonly used in the construction  of walls, ceilings and floors, while softwoods are often used to make doors, furniture and window frames. Some examples of the most popular hardwoods include oak, maple, mahogany, cherry, walnut, and teak.

Stone

the stone also meet above criteria of sustainable materials. and it’s stronger than the wood, but it doesn’t feel as natural as wood. Many types of stones are available for buildings such as basalt, marble, limestone, sandstone, quartzite, travertine, slate, gneiss, laterite, and granite which can be used as construction materials.

Bamboo

Bamboo has the weak stability compares to other materials. It limits bamboo’s ability to build large structures, but I think bamboo is the perfect material for fanciful little buildings.

sustainable concretes

the Green Charcoal bio-bricks are very porous and the air they contain allows plants to develop into them.

SELF-HEALING CONCRETE

they are experimenting with a sort of living concrete, that is essentially equal to standard concrete, but has bacteria added into the mix. These bacteria wake up when they come in contact with water and oxygen . They then start producing limestone and essentially heal the crack, leaving only a slight scar on the surface.

Mix hemp fibres with natural glue and some water, and you’ll get an innovative building material! Its name is hemp concrete and — besides being a sustainable option — it also retains all the positive qualities we look for in building materials. It is indeed sturdy, has good thermal and acoustic insulation qualities and is fire resistant.

And one of its biggest sustainable properties is that of being CO2 negative, namely absorbing more CO2 than the one it emits.

Crops

Here is some reasearch of crops that I aiming to plan in the garden. the crops which is esay to plant or have shorter growth cycle will be the best. and also it needs to be suitable season. I have chose the crops are able to be plant on June and July. I’m thinking of planting 5 crops that it’s able to grow in Wellington in June. Resources are coming from https://tuigarden.co.nz/

Site

Analys

Size of the site

this is a screen shot I got from the google map. from the resource I’ve got, I can roughly calculate the length and width of this area.

Illumination area

Analys site illumination area

this area is the most exposed to sunlight. The growth of crops requires photosynthesis. Therefore, crops should be planted here.

The site is located on the hillside, and the illumination area are different to the flat ground.

Cup of thoughts of how I gonna build on the hill

I chose to fill yp the hill to create a flate space.

statement

Sustainability is important for us to live in a comfortable environment longer. The combination between greens and our living environment is a method of sustainability. Therefore, I want to create a education space that can teach or make people have a knowledge of agricultural and planting. Then they can add enjoyment to life while contributing to sustainability. And also get a sense of accomplishment when they harvesting

Project 2 Week7- Week 12

[tinghaos]

Brief

For her ritual,  it has a feeling of claim and chill.  I got an idea when she stirring the egg. The egg turned into a vortex shape, which was formed by her force, so I want to have a strong vortex in my design. But at the same time the egg is soft. Therefore, I aim to  combine toughness and softness in a chilling space can express vortex.

outside view (day)

night time

In this final design, I turned the shape protruding from the wall  into a sofa. keep the top part. The softness of the sofa allows people to lie down or sit. make people comfortable. I made a wall into a mirror, which allows natural light to cover the entire room. I didn’t change anything else.

2.material testing

I’m testing out different material. They have different levels of reflection and different intensities

the design idea of this space is coming from mixing the egg. The undulating shape on the wall is based on the shape of the vortex when stirring the egg. In the middle is the decomposition point，From top to middle is big to small, from bottom to middle is also big to small, these are two symmetrical vortices. The protruding cylinder on the wall are the ‘splashed egg whites’  they provides light at night. I didn’t make the light to strong, I want it to be soft as the sunlight in the morning. This space is to give people free time to rest.

Feedback From the teacher

After sending my product to my teacher. She gave me the feedback which is pretty helpful and made me think bit further. 

Designing a space is not just like adding something on the wall, it have to let a person have the feeling of substitution. My wall design compares to the space design is more like a pattern on the wall. it’s not prominent.
