[EXP3] Interior of Final Bridge In Lumion Environment

[EXP3] Moving Elements + Architectural Folly
Moving element one: The elevator moves vertically between the ground and the elevator lobby of the bridge. The elevator is designed white to imitate the egg of the "living dragon", which makes the elevator a part of the living architecture.
Moving element two: The flying platform works as a shuttle bus to transfer people from the folly to the elevator of the bridge.
[EXP3] Final Bridge In Lumion Environment
The bridge and the folly |
The bridge looks like a living dragon spanning its wings over the two mountains, which echoes my architectural theory of 'living architecture to cope with unforgiving natural environment.' |

[EXP3] Inspired Landscape and Draft Lumion Environments
Monday, June 2, 2014
[EXP3] Article Mashup
The goal of architecture is to create structures to
house humans and their activities. Some spots are such beautiful potential
locations for a home, yet repeated natural disasters make them inhospitable. In an age
when we're faced with repeated flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and
earthquakes, to design for instability is a really powerful thing. Logically, "living
architecture" has to have a theoretical basis that begins with a
series of surrealist fantasies that often take their cues from natural shapes
like shells. Living
buildings could "absorb pollutants and carbon dioxide, and even offer
better protection against natural disasters. A living city could
stop nature’s cycle of destruction with a dramatic change in the way our houses
look. To make good
buildings, we need a worldview, a healthy worldview enables
us to confer survival strategies and some form of
adaptation to our buildings.
