MaoHaus是一个实验性的建筑立面, 探索历史文脉、材料的潜力、新的制造技术和特性在建筑中的体现。延续胡同的建筑尺度和简单的山墙形式，新的建筑立面仿佛是进入胡同空间的一块流动的织物。这种流动性是通过常规的刚性材料来表达的, 通过形式化的表达来质疑对物质的固有认知。除了起伏的形式, 表面的孔洞有助于滤光。白天, 阳光的光线进入前庭, 并在晚上精确调谐的光圈呈现出了毛主席的原型肖像三联。毛主席在立面的艺术表达是对基地历史文脉的延续。这个项目位于北京市中心的胡同小巷, 毗邻人民美术出版社, 这个车间曾经是主席现在标志性形象的主要制作地之一。

MaoHaus is an experimental façade piece exploring historical context, material potentials, novel fabrication and performative qualities within architecture. Taking the simple frame and edge condition of the existing structure, the façade enters the space of the hutong as a flowing fabric. This fluidity is expressed through the conventionally rigid material of concrete questioning inherent perceptions of materiality through formal expression. Beyond the undulating form, the perforations of the surface serve to filter light, during the day, rays of sunlight enter the vestibule, and at night the precisely tuned apertures reveal a triptych of Chairman Mao’s prototypical portrait.The expression of Chairman Mao within the façade is a nod to the historical context of the site. The work is located in a Hutong alley in central Beijing adjacent to The People’s Art House Print Shop, this workshop was once one of the primary producers of the Chairman’s now iconic image.

立面的结构利用了超高强纤维混凝土的材料来创造新的建筑形式。从4到7米的高度, 2 米宽和仅仅7厘米厚, 六个独立的面板跨越的外观, 而无需任何辅助结构或支持。每个面板作为一个单元体, 从大型数控塑造的模具产生。通过数字生成的流体动力学算法产生的计算, 薄壁多孔曲面的曲率更能有效地将结构的荷载传到地基上。

The structure of the façade leverages the material properties of ultra-high performance concrete to create novel architectural form. Ranging from 4 to 7 meters in height, 2 meters wide and a mere 7 centimeters thick, the 6 individual panels span the façade without the need for any substructure or support. Each panel is cast as a single unit from large CNC milled molds. Computationally generated through fluid-dynamics algorithms, the curvature of the thin porous surface serves to more efficiently carry the loads of the structure to the foundation.

横跨表面的孔洞阵列在设计中扮演了几个角色: 减少整体结构的重量，对图像和历史文脉的表达, 也作为在狭小的胡同空间内与观者互动的一种手段。项目的访问者将产生非常不同的体验与胡同，取决于他们的相对位置和访问时间。这也成为了设计的一个优势，在正立面观看是一种图像嵌入的平面化外立面；从其他角度观看则是风动的条幅在时间凝固时的不同状态。

The array of apertures across the surface play several roles within the design, removal of weight for structural integrity, expression of imagery and historical context and also as a means of interacting with the user within the tight space of the hutong alley. In unison with the curvilinear surface, the apertures align themselves to a particular region in the space. Visitors to the site will experience and interact with the façade very differently depending on their relative position as well as time of visit. From certain vantages, the façade is perceptibly flattened revealing the embedded image, while from other points it may read as flowing banner frozen in time.

MaoHaus寻求在一种单独的设计表达中探索各种元素。在新的材料创新中, 该项目推动了从看似传统建筑材料中所能达到的极限。寻求一个多元化的设计, MaoHaus综合了材料极限、数字化定制计算生成，同时具备了历史符号的衍生、基地文脉的表达。

MaoHaus seeks to explore various elements of deign within a singular expression. Looking to new material innovation the façade pushes the limits of what may be achieved from seemingly conventional architectural materials. Seeking a multifaceted design, MaoHausexists as a synthesis of material properties, customized computational tooling and generation with historical reference, context and expression.
