THE HOARDER NEXT DOORMiddlesex University (Semester2) _ April 2015

Clinic for Compulsive Hoarders

Compulsive hoarders live in terrible conditions. These are people who have lost their homes and lives to hoarding. I want hoarders up and down the country to realize that they are not alone. Hoarding disorder has been recognised as dis-tinct psychological condition since 2013. Despite the official recognition, hoarders are still living with the shame and secrecy of hoarding. According to the Institute of Psychiatry, up to three million people are suffering. It is approximately one in 20 people in the United Kingdom a hoarders, and there are only few places that they can turn for help.

There is 87 years old Olive who has lives in the three bed-room semi-detached council house in Brighton since 1933. Her home is so full that she is forced to spend most of her day outside. The inside of her house is full to the brim with thou-sands of plastic bags, old furniture, and clothes. And she thinks that she doesn’t hoard, she just keep stuff which will be used again. She cannot cook or use the bathroom home, so she gets her meals from the Community Centre where she also washes. She has never married nor had children, so she has no family to support her. She doesn’t want to show her place to anybody. She has lived in this house virtually all of her life, but now she is unable to access most of the rooms due to her hoarding. Each night she climbs the pile of her hoarding to get to bed. She has recycled since the war and has been in conflict with the authorities on it for decades. Her constant recycling is distracting her from clearing. The vast amount of recycling to sort through is mostly tins and pack-aging that she picks up from the street. Even she is doing recy-cling, she still want to keep, and it is the problem. With this problem, she is having depression and she wants some help now.

STOUR SPACE / 7 Roach Road, Hackney Wick, London, E3 2PA

SITE

Hackney Wick used to be an industrial hub which leds to heavy pollution. The street was in a mess, and the buildings were old. However, factories moved to another town and it became clean and attrac-tive area. The buildings are coverd in beautiful graffiti by artists, and there are a lot art studios. Stour Space is located in Hackney Wick, next to the olympic park. As Hackney Wick became clean and beautiful area, the hoard-ers will escape from the mess in their house by hoarding treatment.

CONCEPT MODEL

When there are a straight narrow corridor and people passing, people nomally feel uncomfortable to stop in the middle of the way. The reason is because there is not enough space. Therefore, by adding gap spaces in the rectillnear corridor, users can stay in that space. The exhibition space in this project will apply these facts, so the public people pass through the corridor and they can go to the gap space when they want to stay more time for the exhibition.

BACKGROUND Urban Housing Problem

Our lifestyles changes according to the time. Traditional extended families have been superceded by nuclear families. Moreover, the divorce rate has also climbed, and single households have been increased. House prices have been perked up rapidly in the last few years. We need a solution to overcome these difficult situations. I believe that modular type of houses will decrease house prices and flexible housing system will give us better life.

Flexible Housing system according to various lifestyles

21c Housing system needs to present many different modular unit house according to various lifestyles. If there is a man who is single, he can start with small unit house and when he get married, he can put more units to extend the space. If he gets new hobby or job, he can add a theater unit or a library unit. Therefore, he doesn’t need to move to a new residence, just add more units or change them to others.

Even though developing various technol-ogy, architectures that should protect people’s lives fell to threaten our lives, because of architects’s selfishness of materialism. When earthquake come to the architecture that wasn’t built solid enough, the force affect buildings to damage is on the land, not on water. We need a solution from natural disaster immediatly.

In 21century, Modern sociaty has been procceeding a huge economic, social and tech-nological growth.Even though growing technology, there is still an issue that we have to think, how to protect us from natural disaster.

THEME

The fetuses are covered by a thin membrane that is called aminion. There is water in the aminion that a fetuse is grown in. While a fetus is develop-ing, the ridges along these patterns are influenced by a number of factors, including bone growth, pressures within the womb and contact with amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid absorb shock a fetuse from external impact, and it protect from microbism. It helps to adjust fetuse’s temperature as well.

It accepts shaking of primary earthquake actively, not exclusively. So it is in harmony with nature, and it takes flexible defensive condition for secondary flooding. Therefore, it can be motion architecture. And it also communicates with human by exterior and interior, so the exterior is in harmony with the interior. And it became new concept of Neo Noah’s Ark.

Shape

Uniformly makes dynamic shape by cracking accumultaion.

Design Process

Design Process Earthquake is shaking of the ground caused by movement of the earth’s crust. The gap which is after land cracked is covered with something differ-ent component. Therefore, crack is connecting link between these two unlike component things. As the crack became a frame, and imprint the frame on circle shaped thing. It shows a pile of dynamic crack, so it generates a new form of design.

According to Neo Noah’s Ark, the architecture accept natural advantage, and defend against disaster. Through the re-establishment that is the realationship of human and nature disasters. There is no more exclusive attitude for disaster, we should aceept the nature, and expect the world in harmony between Nature and Human.

BIKE STATIONSeoul Institute of the Arts (Semester2) _ December 2011

New Concept of Bike Convenience Center

BACKGROUND

Environmental problems are caused by car is in serious condition. And the cars which use of alternative energy are being developed to solve the underlying problem. But it is not enough yet. In addition, the lack of space is serious problem. Seoul has been being concerned of increased densely populated, and it makes huge traffic jam.

Bicycle was the best transportation until the early 1970s. It has a big merit that it doesn’t make environmental pollution. The bike is being receiving attention to be the future trans-port.

The reasons that Seoul citizens do bicycling are activities and transportation. The reasons that not do bicycling is inconvenient and dangerous.

However, they are very positive to use activation of bicycle.

New Concept Bike Station

For revitalization of riding a bicycle, I suggest a new concept building for bicycle riders. By creating bike convenience building, people can use bicycle more safely, more conveniently. And it would make vitalization of using bicycle. So I suggest new concept of bike station for emerging bicycle culture in our lives. People will consume, spend time, and communicate with other riders. I suggest the interior space for riders to enjoy riding regardless of seasons and climate. The building need to be in the middle of the city, so anybody can join.

The Mayor of Seoul have made a lot effort people to use bicycle for transportation or sport. However, people still don’t use bicycle. As you see the diagram, bicycle is 2.2%. It is still so low, we can compare with other countries that there are 6~7%. We need to realize the present to solove this problem, and make the plan for awareness of bike culture.

By lamp type space of the exist-ing building facilities and other features are naturally formed into the level difference.

There are a lot inclined plan, so make some rest area between each floor for users.

It keeps the building’s balance by using the angle of the main frame. The angle of the force is diffused. The main frame duffuse the force to sub frame.

At the first you need to put your bicycle on this facility, and then you can touch the screen to set your password, and it will make your bicycle up. So the facility doesn’t need big space to build.

Bike Bench

Riders can put their bike on this facil-ity, and the other side they can sit. And they can touch the wheel of their bike, so this bench can make disapper the psychological burden of riders.

Considered of human’s view sight

The view sight of riders rise up from the ground. So the show case started from the ground and it is designed by the angle of human’s view sight.
