Similar like Prof. Parker, Prof Umemoto also stated the project with studying a concept stereotype, in this case, it was a kind of landform, and I chose a famous landscape in my hometown, Sichaung Province in China, the Huanglong Park.
I did lots of research about how this kind of landform was formed, and then I did some experiments to imitate it and then apply it on the site.
And the final step is almost the same, transfered what we got as a shape into architecture modelling and made practical spaces.

PROJECT TYPE: SCHOOL PROJECT
PROFESSOR: NANAKO UMEMOTO
LOCATION: TOKYO, JAPAN
TIME : 08/2016 - 12/2016
PROJECT PROGRESS: N/A
After I got the mechanism how the landform was formed, then I did some research how to reproduce this environment to make a new Huanglong. Thanks to my Chemistry Teacher in my high school, Bangyao Chen, he advised me to use the solution of something whose solubility varies along the temprature. And after some trials I chose the sodium bicarbonate, also be called soda ash: when the solution was cooled down, the particals would be separated.
In order to apply the experiment on to the site, from the basic analysis of the landscape and transportation, it was easy to figure out how will pweple get into the site. Combining with the elevation of the site, we can get where we should drop the solution to form the “landform”.
