蘇-curi[Toxi]City

2011-12-22T18:12:00.000-08:00

Final Project for course GSD6338 Computational Design instructed by Panagiotis Michalatos.
curi[Toxi]City is a video + audio interactive projection. Its aim is trying to revealing the fact that human's curiosity often become toxic to their surrounding - Nature.
Fishes are killed because of reduction of free space where they swim. The appearing black cells[boxes], which is generated because of people's movement in front of the video camera, work as barrier for the fishes. The more the cells appear, the less "O2"[programmed value as a metaphor of natural element] the overall space has. In the contrary, if there are not enough people coming by, the appeared cells will disappear.
As a result, as people passing by this installation and being attracted by its effects, they will figure out that their unconscious movement actually is vital for the fishes to be alive. Their kindness[if they have] will finally prevent them coming around the installation. Finally, the installation area become a dead space where nobody wants to come by. The installation actually changes the space that people live because of its effects.

The studio finally end up with global happiness. Too much drama during this spring, anyway it has been done well. Good job.
Following are the selected works of students' final projects.

First time of teaching, thanks for Francois' invitation. Students had developed a lot during last semester. Still have one more semester to go. New tasks and new strategy, hopefully brand new products.

The Official Final

The official final of NCertainties 4.0

First Project in MADA

2010-05-21T11:56:00.000-07:00

It started with the cube seed system. Then the whole thing turned into reality...
It seems that the trail I am running on is not the one I want. But experience is always important no matter what kind of experience it is. To deal with such huge scale urban planning gave me a lot... Fight on and fight for good future!

PS: Three of N4 graduated this May! Congrats everyone! Let's make this blog more practical, but don't lose our passion!!!!!!!!

Final Rendering

2010-05-20T20:59:00.000-07:00

Final rendering for swarm tower project.
I really want to boolean and smooth all pipes if I have enough time....

Cubic Seed System

2010-04-14T20:41:00.000-07:00

This is the final version. The main idea of this system is to keep the amount of the cubes always the same as they are generated at the beginning. Roads and Open Space are the cube diggers!!! They dig out the cubes that are intersected with them or closes enough to their profile. Then all the digged cubes are put back around the roads and open spaces based the logic of land value. The closer to roads and open space, the higher the land value

New Version of Swarm Tower

Just a surface structure, without floors. One month before final presentation,
a lot of work to be done...

RENDERING TEST

2010-02-22T13:25:00.001-08:00

Although I basically worked out the code about hybrid agent/branching logic,
there still are a lot of stuff to be improved. Too many technical questions......

Thanks for Sukie's rendering.
Thanks for Tom's IBM.

Finally finish the DDR. So dark a semester it was. Never want to rethink it. Thanks for the help from Sukie and Tom during the final.

Update it

2009-12-18T22:56:00.000-08:00

Kind of fun: Trying to use grasshopper to "translate" my initial Rhinoscript project.
Updated work for course "ARCH 599"

[n]Certainties 4.0 is done.

2009-12-14T21:20:00.000-08:00

It is so dramatic that at the last moment , our three boards were canceled by Francois.
I don't want to judge that, anyway, the whole thing is done, during the process, I learned a lot. And the next step for the technic aspect is quite clear that I have to learn how to do animation!!!

Below is the poster for our final review.

Compare to its quality, it's not worthy...

Wireframe rendering when your model is too big in Rhino

2009-11-09T23:26:00.000-08:00

Step 1: Change the current render to Rhino default render
Step 2: Find " Tool---Option---Render, select "render surface edge and curve"
Step 3: Change the Ambient light color to white
Step 4: Find" View --Display option--- edge thickness" and change it to certain thickness
Step 5: Print!!!

2009-10-20T14:30:00.000-07:00

We are surprised that this sketch actually best decribe where our project should go, although some part of it is not exactly the same as we want.

Anyway, it seems that we are going back to pick up the stuff we've done in the beginning of this semester. This makes us comfortable because we never think those will ever never be picked up after finished....

Woo...

Morphologh

Working on the growing shape right now, don't know whether Francois and Marc will let us do it ... Bless us.

The New Proposal of the campus extention of Columbia University

2009-08-04T21:13:00.000-07:00

I am right now kind of working for Terreform which is a non- benefit association founded by Michael in 2005. This project is just a comparable proposal to the realistic proposal by SOM and Renzo Piano.

What I did is the light rail all the way along the 125 street to the ferry. It is a sort of conceptual design , and the propotion of it in the whole proposal is just as tiny as an ant on the earth.
But it is important and interesting. I will continue uploading more images here.

Here are the photos of my project, two are for midterm, and the other is for final. You can see the struggle... I won't post all the boards and photos here, cause they are really ugly and worthless.

I should be blamed that till now I just post some of my works. This is the program of MOMAT: museum of material and technology. It's a big question for: what I have learned from this studio of performative architecture, which is my first studio in USC.

I finally made something, thanks Lin for all the help! Without his help,
it will take much more longer for me to figure it out.

VB scripting and Introduction

2009-03-05T20:47:00.000-08:00

Focusing on VB script these days,it is ashamed that I am always ten times lazy as my boss Lin does... haha~~~Hopefully, I will be better soon~ Fighting!

Oh, just a brief introduction of our team member:

Lin,Xie The boss of our team, we always call him boss.Graduated from the best university in China and had done lots of projects before he came here. So admirable~!!!

Ying Liu My Shi-Mei which means we went to the same university in China but she is one year later than me. However, we didn't know each other before we came here.......

Qi,Su(Sukie) ................ A lazy guy who is always dreaming ~

logic, logic

2009-03-05T19:58:00.000-08:00

Focusing on Processing these days, I'm afraid that my brain will die as my laptop someday~~. Logic and syntax nearly kill me.
