“Modulate to the Desire” that aims to design an artist space in Xintiandi, Shanghai, inspired by the automotive industry, its materiality and construction techniques. The concept of the project is to generate a modular, dynamic artist space considering the ever-changing need of the fast growing and productive city. This artist space consists of workshop spaces and artist ateliers to feed creative minds to be a proactive member of this New World, Xintiandi.
Wax Casting Process Example of small scale casting type, that is highly detailed. Mainly used for jewellery design.
Sand Casting Process and Experimentation Medium scale casting method. Explorations of this process is similar to forming, shaping and recycling metals.
Car Parts The assembly process of the car is unit to whole meaning all of the extracted parts are manufactured in different places and brought together to form a design.
Car Node Extracted parts the joining areas (nodes) of a car which consists of basic geometry and extruded sections that will be welded together.
Node Smallest component is the node. It consists of casted forms shaded in brown and secured with sheets and bolts. Allowing the specifically designed building components to slide in and lock.
Modules Module A is multiplied to generate other spaces. As it is a system that follows "unit to whole" methodology from basic nodes, modules are generated which generate various building scenarios.
Filtering the Light There are different openings in the panels customized for direct or diffused light scenarios.
Overall View of a Possible Modular Scenario
Long Section Programmatic arrangements, circulation points and open areas can be identified.
