Off-Site Architecture : Phase 2 : Performative Landscape

Performative Landscape


After site survey and analysis, the collected data is interpreted into landscape elements and conditions. With the understanding of the biological and man-made precedents, a performative landscape is developed in response to site conditions.

The rectangular frame boxes are to protect a kind of rare plant that grows in the grey area from being invaded by an architecture that will be developed in the next phase. The height of boxes vary depending on the slope of the ground. The red area is the area where another kind of plant that disturb the growth of the rare plant grows. Therefore, the sizes of the apertures vary depending on the distance from the center of the boxes to the red area.

Off-Site Architecture : Phase 1 : Site Survey


Site Survey



















The physical aspects of the face are studied and analysed specifically on the three selected areas.
The physical aspects include geometry, topography, pores shown in grey dot, hair shown in black line, skin fold shown in blue line, crease shown in dash blue line, and redness shown in grey where there is less redness and in red where there is more redness.










Geometry / Enclosure Precedents


A biological and two man-made precedents are studied in term of their geometry and relationship to the ground. The flat surfaces of Rolex Learning Center are exerted by the four curves and cut away by circular geometries. The six tilting columns of the Metropol Parasol support the waffle structure on the top composed by circles of different radii. The skirt-like structure of a Maiden Veil fungus is described using voronoi diagram varying in patterns and spacing.
