ARCHITECTURE LABORATORY: EXPLORING THE MATHEMATICS OF ARCHITECTURE IN OXFORD
Mathematics and science expression through arts as the new norm of architectural process with the application of automation. The use of automation and robotics in creating an architectural outcome has been part of the industry for the past decade which redefine the overall production chain of architecture by accelerating the notion of discreteness in both computation and the physical assembly of buildings.
The Project (What?)
Architecture Laboratory: Exploring the Mathematics of Architecture in Oxford.
The Location (Where?)
The project is located at an old Osney Power Station, a massive building at the edge of Thames River within a residential context near Arthur St and Russel St. It can be seen from Osney Bridge and Osney Island Residential Area. The building has an amazing Victorian Façade facing the river and a 5-story height warehouse.
The Brief (What is the building?)
Architecture Laboratory is a research and development centre for Discrete Architecture that uses machines and robotics to produce fabrication of architectural products. The design project consists of two sections which are private and public area.
The Users (Who is the building for?)
The lab functions as an experiment’s hub for researchers, architects, and other construction discipline users. It is also for public and students as an educational purpose as it will be under the Physics and Engineering Science Department of Oxford University.
The Concept (How the idea develops?)
Based on DSR studio brief (Choose a maker & transect walks), I have taken a project journey involving a new Architectural principle (Discrete Architecture) and Mathematical theory (Mereology).
Project Glossary:
Discrete Architecture:
Covers a new, digital understanding of assembly, based on parts which involves complexity, open-ended and adaptable architecture. It entails the use of automation and robotics as part of its creative process to fabricate an architectural product.
Mereology:
A mathematical study of parts and the entities they form.
This project experiments with both of these approaches to create an architectural intervention. The process developed from a qualitative data by observing the surroundings during the studio transect walks along Thames River, Oxford Canal and Oxford City Centre. Those observations develops ideas and they were decoded into a diagram by using Mathematical theory (Mereology). Then, the data diagram is converted to a structural system that affects the design project’s process.

RE-IMAGINING THE ELEMENTS: TRADITIONAL MALAY JOINTING AS A MODERN CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM
Tanggam is a traditional Malay joinery for a building construction that has an interlocking nature without using nails and other adhesive. Though, this indigenous building tradition halted after the arising of new construction technologies and architectural styles. The new phase of modernisation movement has developed in buildings which contempt the environmental and climatic factors of Malaysia. This issue has directed the research to study the fundamental ideologies of the traditional Malay kit that can be applied in the modern conducts of construction process. This research is aimed to investigate on ways to mix traditional and modern construction method in producing a workable modern reinterpretation of tanggam. This kit design will be part of the research project that intend to revive and regenerate an abandoned Malay school and design a new pavilion structures within a village located in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

RESEARCH-LED DESIGN WARM UP PROJECT: CONFIGURATION OF ELEMENTS
Final Device Outcome. First attempt experiment by moving the parts in a linear form accordingly within the 9 rows. Rearrangement of puzzle does not have to be in a linear sequence. It can be a random placement and each arrangement can give out a different image. In determining how many ways we can possibly get, we may bump into a similar configuration. By experimenting with parts and components, there are many possible ways in visualising form or skin for a building. Several experimentation need rules and format in order to achieve a certain requirement, like materials, duration, or even budget. Parts and components can be assemble by random or with a strict rule, it is depends on one research and knowledge. Thus, guidance and variables of surrounding as an instruction is important in determining the outcome of design.
