Riving Room

The Houlong River fertilizes the land of Gongguan Township, and the tunnel Canal which runs through the whole area of Gongguan has acted as a crucial artery of water supply. Along the waterway grow abundant crops as water flows calmly and peacefully through every household. Nurturing the people, the tunnel Canal is where and how the local live their lives. Hence, the name and concept of the project, Riving Room, uses a blend of “river” and “living room”, inviting people to this incredible living room where they can reacquaint themselves with the thousand forms of water.

The APUJAN store interior resembles a landscape of mountains and caves, and its tables were created by ROSO Robotic Construction Lab, known for incorporating robotic technology into design and fabrication. These tables hold the record for Taiwan’s largest single-piece printed object, achieved through a continuous 100-hour robotic printing process spanning 5 meters in length. For the APUJAN store, the table design reflects a light and flowing aesthetic, combining digital design tools, robotic 3D printing, and the use of “transparent eco-friendly plastic.” This showcases a unique method and process of Digital Crafting, presenting an unprecedented beauty in digital craftsmanship. These tables not only utilize computational design for the production and optimization of complex curved surfaces but also create a glass-like transparency, revealing a distinctive brightness and translucent elegance. When sunlight hits the tables, they produce soft curves and reflections, evoking the serene beauty of the ocean.

Landscape Architecture

This research project primarily aims to challenge the production of concrete components without the need for any formwork. Additionally, it enables the fully automated fabrication of unique designs with complex geometries. The 3D printing method for hollow concrete structures strategically utilizes the material only where necessary, thereby achieving a more sustainable approach to concrete architecture. This project not only emphasises the development of large-scale architectural components but also explores new form expressions which are materialised and shaped through the material property of concrete, the movement of the robotic arm and fabrication devices within a transient moment. Aside from the development of this technology, the project uses a six-axis freedom of industrial robotic arm and concrete material properties to reveal unexplored aesthetic aspects of form, unlike the typical FDM 3D printing technology. More specifically, based on a complex and coherent tool path, which includes varying levels of spacing, the robot's speed and orientation, and the material over a specific period of time, it creates free-form curved surface shapes.

Pahanhannan

Pahanhannan is a pavilion that blends practicality with aesthetics, taking its name from the Amis word for "a place to adjust breathing". It's a special spot where local residents can take a breather after gathering from the ocean or wilderness, and where travelers can rest and recalibrate their pace of life by the Pacific Ocean. This design project employs computational design tools to generate the curved roof of a wooden structure that mimics the shape of the sea before residents embark on their oceanic journey. Each piece of transparent, curved roof tile is made using recycled plastic materials and produced with robotic 3D printing technology. The slightly undulating roof creates a surreal effect, obscuring the sky and the space beneath the house, and the interplay of light and shadow simulates the feeling of being at the bottom of the ocean. As the light and shadow shine at different depths, the flowing effect creates an impression of the entire sea, serving as both the roof and the land.

Porosity

In today's focus on sustainability, bamboo is widely discussed as a potential building material due to its natural characteristics that make it suitable for construction. Bamboo is known for its strength and flexibility, and it is typically used in its original form as poles in structures. However, this approach often leads to significant variations in the material due to differences in growth conditions, making it challenging to use consistently. "Porosity" seeks to combine the concept of "engineered wood" with natural materials by incorporating bamboo composites. It reinterprets the potential of bamboo by layering thin bamboo veneer sheets both vertically and horizontally, resulting in a lightweight and resilient material. These material properties enable new design possibilities, highlighting the potential for lightweight and curved bamboo structures. Its circular form is concealed within a dense forest, and during the day, it appears to resemble a bamboo grove, with bamboo and wood colors blending together. When night falls, the interior lighting casts light outward, illuminating the irregular surfaces. The light flows along the curves, clearly defining the geometric interplay in the 3D space. Light and shadows reveal the material's fibers through the thin bamboo sheets, creating a sense of lightness and showcasing the traces of fabrication. This work is located in the Alishan Forest Railway Garage Park in Chiayi City, Taiwan.

CoralArc

The coral is as precious of the ocean as the starry sky. The falling wind blows from the Pingtung peninsula to the sea, taking away the sand but bringing the color and liveliness from the coral. This project translates the principle of nature via a computational algorithm. Learning the features of the coral polyp, such as pushing each cell, copying, growing, expanding, and dynamically stacking, the design method attempts to record each different growth section to produce a beautiful complex organic curved surface. ROSO is dedicated to the research of cutting-edge robotic 3D printing technology and materiality. Thus, the project presents the various appearance and luster of the coral underwater via transparent material to build up a colorful and dynamic environment.

VisualFlow

VisualFlow carries on the technical calculus through the computer number, the charming light and shadow when the rice project falls into the water and moves on the surface of the water. At the same time, an industrial robotic arm is designed for large-scale 3D printing and manufacturing, which shows the tiny charm of rice falling into the water. At night, large transparent screens can perform dynamic lighting shows, producing special refraction effects, thus forming a magical light and shadow space.

Tranquil Place

On August 23, 1958, the Communist Party opened fire on Kinmen Island, dropping nearly 40,000 shells in a few hours. Over the next 44 days, the small island was bombarded with 470,000 shells. Decades later, the island transformed from a former military base into a tourist destination rich in war and military heritage. It has also played an essential role in fostering cross-strait peace by facilitating communication between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. The installation aims to showcase the resilience and rebirth of Kinmen. We utilize transparent plastic to 3D print the image of flowers blooming in the Kinmen landscape, scattering them on the beach as if sowing seeds of hope into the soil of history. During the day, the flowers sparkle in the reflected sunlight, while at night, they shimmer under special lighting effects. Alternating between day and night, shining and glimmering, this cycle symbolizes the transient nature of life and the renewed hope that each day brings.
