TYNDALL EFFECT



The Tyndall effect, also known as Tyndall scattering, is light scattering by particles in a colloid or particles in a fine suspension. It is named after the 19th century physicist John Tyndall. It is similar to Rayleigh scattering, in that the intensity of the scattered light depends on the fourth power of the frequency, so blue light is scattered much more strongly than red light. An example in everyday life is the blue colour sometimes seen in the smoke emitted by motorcycles, particularly two stroke machines where the burnt engine oil provides the particles.

Similarly, We can see the Tyndall effect in the early morning. There are beams of light through branches and leaves in dense jungle. It's buatiful!
 
 
Yesterday, our tuitor gave me a suggestion that to use the outside space to be a path rood, people can walk across this space. At the same time, customers can have enjoy their leisure time.
 
 
I don't wana my project to be a teashop. I think of it , then i cut out beams of light, use shapes instead of these.
 
 
 
If i choose to use glass as material for this outside space, it will be flexible. No matter where i will move this room, it will fit in that environment. Light will never disappear and people always walk in light, enjoy in light.

Archdaily 3


I was inspired by the sliding house that design by dRMM. The space can be seperated into two part, then the room inside enlarged though this concept. I think it is like drawers, which are closely linked in our daily life.

Therefore, i considered to repeatly use this methord  to make the space inside larger, at same time the enclosure could be shaped and doesn't looks like original.
The project was designed to be comfortable, secure, transparent, and easy to assemble.  It avoided enclosing the space, as well as kichen to be open air that could avoided the heat radiating from the cooking equipment.

I considering to use the open-style kitchen in my projet. Whether it is used rationally...

Sliding house & ship container

The roof and walls of this family home move on rails, transforming the hall into an open-air couryard and the living quarters into a double-height conservatory. The 28-metre long mobile structure fits like a sleeve over the main house, the guest annex and the paved yard that separates the two.

I manage to draw on the experience of the Sliding House that design by dRMM for my first project. Intuitively, the space can be enlarged though this method, like "drawer". Therefore, i don't worry about how to usetilze the small space, which is less than ten square metres, with kichen in it. I considered the material that used for " Kiosk".Finally, i think ship container is the best choice that i don't want to miss. Beacause container architecture is an alternative approach to the refabricated building. It is quick to setup and low-cost and offer custom, eco-friendly solution.

Cargo Container

 
Recently, I have been thinking about how can i put minimum 8 customers, furnitures and kitchen in the container with only less than 10 squares metres. I researched on the internet, then i found there are few ways can enlarge the limited spaces.
 
 
This is a new design idea made up of a microarchitecture, urban furniture and external floor covering for public urban spaces and contemporary users, offering them solutions to new needs and habits.
 
 
The metal cover can be used as a tunnel to create a sheltered outdoor space or cover totally the square structure. It depends on the dimensions of the location and use needs.source: http://in-tenta.com/index.php/works/latest-works/item/19-all-in-esquare-microarchitecture
 
This project is quite interesting. We are familiar that rectangular boxes known best for shipping freight around the world on giant water vessels. However, this kind of cargo container not only apply to transportation industry, but it also becomes the new choice for architect and designer to create modular thinking, mobile living and comfortable dwelling.
 
The trick in this rather stylish (well, for the inside of a shipping container anyway) solution involves pop-out side spaces that make more rooms when the house is sitting still but slide neatly back into their slots for maximum portability. Truly a ‘Mobile Dwelling Unit’ (nicknamed MDU), the center becomes the gathering and circulation space serving a surprisingly spacious little home.
I manage to utilze " the trick ", which like drawer can pop-out side and enlarge the space, in the project of "KIOSK".  
 
Eight total elements slide and fold out from the core central container structure, including a kitchen, bathroom (complete with sink, shower and toilet), bed, desk, sofa, reading nook and closet or pantry. Of course, some of these functions require outside hookups much as they would in a traditional mobile house or home. Like containers, however, they could also be stacked in grids and serviced in bulk.

Archdaily 2


 
 
This could be a singular urban shelter, which is a single person live and work with only twenty square meters and nevertheless is one hundred cubic meters of volume. In such an enclosed space, the designer devides the room into roughly 8 sections.The border between space to space is not obvious to us.
 
The kitchen is a walk-through room to get the living.
 The bathroom looks like luxury place,although this is small area.

 
 
 
This project let me think of how to offer generous spaces and a big quantity of different pieces of use, even with its small size.

Task & Requirement
 
 
First, I need to clear about our task and requirement before research.



Next, according to the requirement, I think of some questions that related to this task.
  • How to reasonably utilize the space?
  • What's the relationship of one space to another?
  • What's the placement of solid objects (furniture & accessories) within the space?
  • What is the cafe shop looks like?
  • How to use natural lights instead of the effect of disposition of lights?
