Cable 8 Competition Entry - Taili Lee
Type
If a simple spatial character could be noted about Beijing, it is the difference between the splendid symmetry of the Forbidden City and the intimate and meandering asymmetry of the Hu-Tong typology. This project attempts to collide the two organizational systems within the existing fabric of Cable-8 in order to create spatial disjunctions, pressures and re-connections, which in turn will impact the installations and artworks it contains.Further, the concept of the “museum of unlimited growth” by Le Corbusier is used as a representation of the Hu-Tong, which is used as a method of spatial measurement and narrative guidance for Cable-8.Creativity results at the intersection of institution and imagination. During the Ching dynasty, the Taipei city wall was constructed as a series of interwoven axes which aligns toward Beijing as well as the highest mountain peak north of its location. In Beijing, the Hu-Tong is typically formed by a mixture of rigid orthogonal layouts with organic functionality. With these dynamic systems as precedents, this project utilizes the differential between the symmetrical axes of the Forbidden City, and that of Cable-8 to generate the effect of a museum of unlimited growth to produce different degrees of disjunctions, pressures, and re-connections. Three material applications and techniques are used to capture and embody the concept:Covering- Volumes are covered with a tapestry of vertical louver system whose operation is dictated by light, transparency, visual connections, and ventilation.Dragging - The material can be dragged between the various volumes to engender connectivity visually and spatially thus creating complex dimensional dynamics. Weaving - Separate volumes are strategically woven together by inter-connective membranes. They are capable of becoming shelters to create semi-interior spaces as well as becoming interior elements capable of enhancing spatial complexity.
