This project attempts to dissolve the normative conditions
of spatial enclosure to create a performance venue and public space of
spectacle. The proposal engages generative techniques drawn from the geological
and cultural context to generate a vibrant space of performance and social
interaction. The flows of the 19th century watercourse of Keelung River
provided the impetus for a process that erodes a monolithic base in the
generation of a public space carved between the auditoriums. This incision
creates a gradient of enclosure and public access weaving together public plaza
and theater foyers.
The recursive subdivision that operates to erode this base
fractally dissolves the monolithic block of program, creating a resonance with
the nature and scale of the adjacent night market. This fractal technique is
again employed in the auditoriums in the generation of emergent forms of
ornamentation and articulation. Simultaneously responding to acoustic
requirements while aspiring to generate a richness of texture and detail that
is historically found in the world’s great theaters and opera houses.
The roof and spatial lattice are generated through a network
of semi-autonomous agents, seeding design intent at a micro scale. The emergent
properties of this Swarm Intelligence system generate an active networked
topology in which agents self-organise in reforming their topology, enabling a
gradient interaction between explicit design and emergent processes. A starting
network geometry of the roof is explicitly modeled which then self-organises
within various degrees of freedom, enabling parts of the roof to maintain their
original geometry, while other parts radically reform both topology and
geometry. This process generates a material behavior through the negotiation of
the internal motivation of the agents and the force within the network
connections.
The areas of the roof enclosing the auditoriums maintain
their explicit starting geometry while the area surrounding the main
circulation spine has a more complex set of requirements and reforms to
negotiate these. The agents are programmed with a set of spatial imperatives
while the material nature of the network creates a tendency toward equilibrium
topologies that operate with a degree of structural efficiency. The network
structure of the system generates both space filling lattices and continuous
surfaces where the network connections are articulated as a web of veins.
