#Parametric Architecture Generation
#Public Space Reconstruction
#Interaction between Architecture and Environment
In the face of rapid urbanization, more and more cities are facing the problem of fragmented space. Buildings have gradually evolved into functional islands, becoming increasingly detached from the surrounding community, environment and residents. L(INK)² aims to analyze the traces of human behavior in public spaces and transform these behavioral information into design elements, thereby generating architectural models with a sense of interaction and spatial belonging. This project redefines the function of public space and promotes the integration and overall recovery of urban space through the effective connection of architecture with people, communities and nature. The core idea of the project is to integrate the microscopic daily phenomenon of “behavioral traces” into the macroscopic urban architectural design, and to solve the spatial problems of modern cities in an innovative way.
Concept
The core concept is Trace Translation Architecture. In people's daily behavior, whether walking, touching the elevator button, or resting on the bench, they will leave traces in the public space that are visible or invisible to the naked eye. These traces not only reflect people's daily habits, but also contain the deeper connection between people and space. The project analyzes and extracts these traces of behavior and transforms them into architectural design parameters, such as the outline (edge) and height (depth) of the building. Through this process, architectural design is no longer a simple creation, but rather it takes the behavior of residents as the starting point, fully embodying the interactivity between people and space. The resulting building not only meets the functional needs of the city's public spaces, but also activates the community and enhances residents' sense of belonging.
- Redefining the relationship between architecture and public space: The aim is to break through the limitations of the “functional silos” in traditional architectural design, and explore how to use the data of residents' daily behavior to more closely connect the building with its surrounding public spaces, natural environment, and community dynamics, and enhance the overall sense of urban space and interactivity.
- Exploring the feasibility of trace translation design: By analyzing traces of daily behavior, such as footprints, fingerprints, and seat impressions, the project explores how to transform these microscopic traces into macroscopic elements in architectural design. Through technical experimentation and parametric design, the project verifies the feasibility of this “trace translation” design method and applies it to the actual generation of buildings.
- Restore a sense of belonging to space: In the process of urbanization, the increased mobility of residents, the privatization of public space, and the relocation of long-term residents have all led to a loss of a sense of belonging to space. The project helps residents regain a sense of identity and belonging to space by creating public architectural spaces full of humanity in the community, thus promoting community vitality and harmony.
- Creating new community public spaces: The ultimate goal is to enhance the efficiency and functionality of public spaces through innovative architectural design, so that they not only provide residents with places for daily leisure, entertainment and communication, but also become an important link in urban space and help restore the overall urban structure.
L(INK)² translates traces of behavior into architectural design through specific layouts in community and urban spaces, radiating new public spaces and forming an organic connection between architecture, community and natural environment. The function of the building is not limited to traditional public rooms and indoor facilities, but its unique design increases the interactivity between people and the building. For example:
- Daytime scene: The building provides residents with open outdoor and semi-open indoor spaces for sports, social interaction and cultural activities. The public areas include rest areas, dining areas and entertainment areas, which prevent the privatization of public spaces.
- Night scene: The exterior of the building provides safe and comfortable lighting for the night community by reflecting ambient light, and the interior spaces are still open to the public for residents to use at night. Whether it is a nighttime work need or a resident who needs to rest, they can find a suitable place here.
