AGGLOMERATION

PROJECT BACKGROUND

"Agglomeration" is a concept developed and inspired by studying the biotic logic of "Pediastrum", a microorganism family that consists of an unfixed number of cells ranging from 4 to 128. The agglomeration of light, water, and people can be perceived through the entire site.

Meadow Creek, which was rerouted manually around Lambeth field, has been neglected for a long time. This project is aiming at highlighting the evidence of water and creating a flexible public space that can adapt to water level changes. Using the method of cut and fill, new routes are conceived, which allow the site to have variable appearance when encountering no/small/heavy rain conditions. A mixture of lights and stones embedded on the ground is functioned as a guide to draw people's attention to the central island.

INTERACTIVE MODEL

Materials wire mesh, fabric, plastic, salt

Process the action of pouring salt is imitating the process of raining. Current water level can be read through the measuring scale on each side of the model. As water level rises, the landscape appearance is starting to change.
