Aurora borealis arctic observatory - The wings of the dawn goddess-II
Siivet aurora, the Aurora
Borealis Arctic Observatory is an architectural project situated in argument
between the historic mystic of the northern lights and the urban landmark of
Rovaniemi. The stories of the aurora phenomenon may now have a scientific
explanation, this has not diminish the fascination for this seasonal event,
nature’s most fascinating live painting continues to attract countless trekkers
to search for this phenomenal experience, for that we have designed a hotel to
capture and enrich this priceless journey.
The project believes
sustainability should not be a implemented merely due to society’s expectation
on green architecture. Sustainability encourages precise consideration of the
site context. An efficient sustainable system helps minimize the disturbance of
the site and more important implemented as a feature that adds to the
architecture not just functionally but also formally. The aurora is signifying
the goddess of dawn splitting open the night sky breaking free of the dark
skyline. The architectural design signifies Eos’s wings responding to the
natural aurora phenomenon, as the magnetic field and wind undulates, it follows
throughout echoing nature’s best painting.
The
building has chosen reflective stainless steel to be the façade finish, this
reflective surfaces aims to capture the aurora and blend within the context.
The architecture sits within the terrain; it minimizes the conflict with the
site. This nestling aims to utilize the earth thermal energy to achieve
insulation.
The architectural proposalis established upon the Eos's wings responding to the natural aurora phenomenon, as the magnetic field and wind undulates, it follows throughout echoing nature’s best painting. The roof top has installed LED light tubes, as the aurora surface, the light tubes will respond to the magnetic forces, creating a spectacle of dance within nature. The architecture nestle within the natural landscape, the building center has a seamless water surface that is able to seamlessly connect with the horizon ahead, creating the sensation of reaching into the sky.
The
architecture has installed a lighting pool with the function of a skylight in
the entrance
foyer of the building. In the cold harsh winter, the visitors and
occupants within the interior can still enjoy a panorama scenery and rich
daylight. This installment act as insulation, the interior temperature will be
able to be maintained for comfort. This is ensures the visual experiences does
not lesson the comfort within the building.
The use
of geothermal energy assists the sustainability implementation of the
architecture.The extracted geothermal energy is transformed into electricity
and heat, this provides for the heating requirement of the building and the hot
springs leisure space within, this also contributes to the energy required to
power the roof top façade during the aurora season.
To
ensure the building is sufficient and sustainable, geothermal energy is
captured to transform into electricity for the generation of a magnetic field.
This power is used to generate the magnetic field required to active the façade
of the building. The force field allows the LED wings to undulate respond to
the Aurora and the force all around. The water collected from snow and rain
will be recycled to be used within the building in all leisure hot springs and
water features.
The
building site is chosen in the middle axis of the river, to avoid light
contamination from the city and provide best viewing opportunities for the
visitors.

Bike Design II - Fluid Experience
This bicycle design is trying to challenge the imagination of the form, and create a new idea for the motion of the structure.
Design language of the bicycle is figured by natural form. Simplified body form which component with smooth shaped elements. The essence of this bicycle design is to create a sexy curve. It presents as soft as water and shows the strength and beauty at all different angles.
Non-spoke-wheel is the extension of the form concept. Eliminated the tedious supporting spokes and strengthen the rim structure, and extend the natural curve in two wheels to present the shape of light.
Introduction of green energy is an global trend in the design
Power generator is driven by pushing foot pedals which installed in the main axle, and produced power is stored in a battery for front, rear and side lamp lighting. The light system is not only a function for lighting, but it silhouettes the beauty of the body itself.
Concept
solidification of the fluid:
the form outlined in dynamic flow, presenting a perfect combination between natural beauty and industrial technology.
non-spoke-wheel:
to break the traditional concept of the bicycle structure, eliminating the supporting spokes to empty the structure in the middle of the wheels, and directly strengthen the rim frame.
the self-power generating system :
The power is generated while people cycle on the bicycle, and electricity is stored in the battery for LED illumination system.

Changing the Face
Changing the Face –Pushkinsky Cinema Hall
The power of inspirationA tribute to Александр Сергеевич Пушкин –a poem propounded by architecture
The power of inspirationA tribute to Александр Сергеевич Пушкин –a poem propounded by architecture
Poetry in architecture – the power of inspiration
1. Concept:
A tribute to Александр Сергеевич Пушкин –a poem propounded by architecture.
The Pushkinsky Cinema Hall is located next to the Pushkin Square on the unban green line, and the statue of Александр Сергеевич Пушкин stands in front of the cinema hall. The concept of this design is to write a poem as a tribute to Александр Сергеевич Пушкин by architecture.
The name of poem
“The power of inspiration”
Description of the poem:
(1) “Freedom”
Against gravity by floating steam
Gravity is one of the great obstacles to artistic design of architectural structure, thus there has been deep desire to construct the architecture without giving sense of gravity. In order to present freedom of architecture, the mist floating in the air performs as a new type of materials for the façade.
(2) “The warm Sun on the snow”
The architectural form is originated from an image of sun.
Snow country has thirsts for basking in pleasant sunshine, just like the world of poetry need Александр Сергеевич Пушкин to provide and expand its spirit.
(3) The inspiration of color – a symbol of warm temperature
The architectural façade changes the color with temperature. Generally, the façade color is red during the summer. When the temperature drops, the color turns to black. Moreover, spouting steam from the new façade to increase the temperature around the building and the color turn to scarlet. The color and steam give people warmth.
2. Three level Facades
(1)The first layer- steam
The steam floats surround the cinema hall to represent a new type of façade and actually increase the temperature near the building.
The rise of steam from horizon – a view of architectural façade extends to unban collage.
(2)The second layer-architectural form The façade starts a primitive geometry with a light materiality to reflect the surrounding. And then, the curves cut it and create the pattern of architectural form.
(3)The third layer- thermochromic façade
The stainless with Performance Coating on the façade is able to echo the color when temperature becomes different.
