Housing Typologies with Adaptive DesignsCornell University
Fall 20
Phase 1: Productive Land Use Research with Noah Liao
Advised by : Leslie Lok
Location : Hangzhou, China
THEME: Fabric Cast Concrete, Productive Land Use
PROCESS: Typology Analysis + Prototyping
MATERIAL: Maquette Models, Fabric, Fologram Scripting
RESULT: Adaptive Housing & Agricultural Functionality
This project focused on the productive land use and spatial typologies in Hangzhou, China, analyzing the relationship between farming layouts and housing structures. Maquette models were employed to test fabrication techniques for integrating agricultural functionality into the exterior architecture of housing projects.
Two primary typologies were developed:
1. Dimple Wall – A versatile design allowing farmers to customize dimples for various uses such as drying vegetables, hanging clothes, or even suspending a swing.
2. Stretch Window – Large window openings created by stretching fabric, enhancing light and airflow.
We also implemented Fologram scripting to enable on-site mockups of the dimple wall, ensuring feasibility and adaptability before construction.
