Exist
Introduction
The project “Exist ” is a long term work ,it is a concept continue existed in my mind during past two years .
The beginning of the concept is basic on my background –environmental design ,that time I always want to find what is the definition of space ,the responsibility of the designer is not decorate the space ,it is to find the meaning of the space .
so this question trouble me for a long time ,and onetime I have an opportunity to participate into a Taoism summer camps in WUDANG mountain ,and this was the fist time I feel too close to Chinese traditional religion and culture ,this religion have more than 3000 years long history ,and the place I lived and studied inherit the space from more than 600 hundreds years ago ,also the nature there is exist before human civilization millions years ago .It make me think about the space ,especial the ceremony space ,it is very special ,it is the space actually exist but everything in side is redundant. Taoism sit in meditation ,they want to achieve seating forgetting ,it is an ideal state of harmony between nature and man or the unity with DAO,In order to reach to so kind of realm ,one should realize the exceeding of self and realism by heart fast and seating forgetting .
First concept
I want to build a ceremony space combine with virtual reality with architecture design or environment design .So my first inspiration is design a game that people can design their own garden or house . Choicing the material ,the plants or whatever you want,and also people need to imitate the work that the building worker need to do ,it means people can not only design their own space but also exercise in the game .But it is to complex for me .and also I prefer doing some thing simple but have deep thinking inside .and also more like architecture or structure ,less decoration .
Second concept
So I think about another idea is to rebuild the ceremony space in morden city life . Nowdays in some big city like Hongkong ,Tokyo and Shanghai.People living a very small apartment ,so they do not have enough space to consider about the ceremony tradition. Every country have their own way to ceremony something ,by this it can make people remind what are we from and also do not lost the connect with some tradition or important things .so I want to build a ceremony space by using Unity or some virtual reality stuff .and people can have a small trip inside and also can get a rest and enjoy the atmosphere in there .
First inspiration . Iannis Xenakis Xenakis pioneered the use of mathematical models in music such as applications of set theory, stochastic processes and game theory and was also an important influence on the development of electronic and computer music. He integrated music with architecture,designing music for pre-existing spaces, and designing spaces to be integrated with specific music compositions and performances.
content : 1.Hall for the public : The public remains standing for eight to ten minutess and is distributed in a homogenous manner throughout the entire interior surface . The abstract result in draft :a circle with two tube -like extensions for the entrance and exit . 2.electro -acoustic auditorium (a place where current electromagnetic music could be played ): Reverberations must be sufficiently feeble .because of multiple reflections,parallel plane surfaces must be avoided .No tetrahedrons as well because of accumulated reverberation through the bisection of dihedral angles .on the contrary ,non-revolving cured surfaces with variable radiating curves are excellent.Parts of a sphere,for example,are to be rejected since they condense the sound towards the center. 3.Projections of light in colors Colored horizons and the volumes brought forth by reflected light must be phantasmagoric .therefore curved surfaces receding from or receptive to perpendicular ,oblique or diagonal light ,which create moving volumes that contract and expand and rotate . 4.Construction Technique Among all possible geometry surfaces ,which ones are self -supporting ,can be calculated ststistically,and construed on a normal building site ?
