DESCRIPTION


The creation starts with the physical aesthetics of the sea hare, which is fused with the characteristics of waves and sunlight. It taps into the emotional experiential perspective of the canopy’s function by using the 3D parameter mode of a hexagonal body.

Sunlight
Sunlight penetrates the tinted glass to reach the ground. Changing in real time in different periods of a day, it has conveyed the subtle relationship among humans, buildings, colors, and nature.
Ideas
The body shape of the “sea rabbit” with a fluctuating curve reveals bright colors. The curve shapes of the ocean waves bring forth the refraction of light on the sea surface. In the experience of swimming under the sea, one feels like the sunlight shining on the sea surface and shimmering into the sea water. The swimming of fish gives the feeling of diving into the sea. These comprehensive abstract emotions have transformed and hidden in this parameter structure, with each in the crowd feeling a unique experience.
Engineering
It considers both the structural mechanics and the aesthetics, with accurate calculation of the arch mechanic parameters in each node, the wind resistance parameters against typhoons, satisfactoriness against earthquakes, and resistance against risks of acoustic vibrations.

Designer: Yue Fei Zheng

With the parametric design, it explores the perception of human and emotions, the experience of space and walking, and the interpretation of nature and parameters. With refined parametric modal logic, it has reconstructed the reading mode between humans and space.
