JOURNEY: WEEK 1 TO INAL PRESENTATION
CURVE_ LOFT _ BAKE _MESH
THE LOFT: Using grasshopper to experimenting with a lofted to surface. My design intent was to create a moveable space that could be seen as a pavilion or shelter. The folding and weaving could resemble the scrunching of paper or rock erosion.
GEOMETRY _ POPULATE 3D (SLIDER) _ VORONOI 3D_ BAKE
THE CRAVED AWAY BOX: This algorithm allowed for the the craving out of cells. The ability to crave away segments created in interesting array, different and faster to previously learnt methods of subtraction.

RIBBON RING: The folding in the structure unexpected resemblance to a wall. I aimed to create a series of spaces and passages when as you move through the space elements are revealed and hidden.

DEVELOPING FORM AS A GROUP: -DIFFERENT IDEAS IN ONE -USING DIFFERENT STYLES OF DEFINATIONS TO CREATE AN OVERALL FORM -INCLUDED GEOMETRY, PATTERNING, BIOMETRICY AND LOFTING -VARIED IDEAS -USED A CRITERIA TO NARROW DOWN THE SELECTION
GEOMETRY : Our design intent was to develop ‘a conversation art installation that highlights current consumerist behaviours and the dislocated consequences of mass littering’. The form needed to demonstrate our concept and be site specific. I am very passionate about all architecture having purpose and belonging to its site. I did not want a form that was developed in a computer program and was placed on site, it needed to be an integrated purpose. The design developed through all stages and platforms. It was an integration of prototyping, tactic responses, grasshopper, photo renders to see how it would look on site and development of the model on the laser cut site topography. Once we had an idea of a form we would create it on grasshopper, make iterations and push it until failure. This kind of design process allowed for different platforms of communication with a group project and resulted in the final form.

COLOUR ITERATIONS: A major making sure our design caught the littered rubbish, and did not caught any native animals such as fish. Fish are naturally attracted to bright colours guiding our decision to use pastel colouring in yellow and purple. The gradation is bigger towards the bottom of the design to allow for any fish who do find their way to our design, an easy escape to swim through. Represent the yellow wattle and purple native chocolate flower. The pull back to the past and the native flora.

tors that were considered in the removal of the design was to not re-litter the rubbish into the creek. We considdrones could carry the design and how it could be closed with sliding knots to trap the rubbish on the journey. sentation I only considered how heavy the design would be with the rubbish and how many drones would be arry the design along the journey to CERES. ound at Merri Creek is 95% plastic bags so the majority of weights that I have based the drone calculations are lastic bag weight.
calculation of the weight of the rubbish and the design is 50 - 90 KG over a period of 50 days. Calculation is ood that does not exceed 3.2 meters, not including trees or vegetation which may fall off in a severe flood.
drone, would need to be able to carry 18KG each and have enough battery for a 1KM journey. To easy this exould suggest increasing the amount of drones in a swamp to 15-20 drones allowing each to carry 4.5 KGS and eir ability to travel to 1KM to CERES with one battery life. The drones will be able to travel quite quickly once in ut any obstacles so the 1KM journey is very doable with current drone technology.
DRONE TRAIL TO CERES: Drone trails have been creates using a series of Force lines and charges. The tallest trees along the trail are 25-27 meters high and are the main obstacles for the drone path. Each iteration is showing how the path can be adaptive tree growth, the next designer would be able to change the data very quickly to determine a new path if new obstacles developed. More data can be added such as power lines, bird routes and wind tunnels to adjust data as needed. The boundary box is important as it provides charge to make sure the trail does not circle around and to allow for not creating every tree on site. As described above the drone swamp will carry the design and rubbish sample collected to CERES where it will be installed as an education piece. A consideration was that drones have low battery lives although the mass amount of drones and non-obstacles path will allow for an increased speed that will make the journey efficient. The message of our concept will be spread through this display of the drone carrying rubbish bag, the dramatic exit will continue to bring viewers to the art installation at CERES and start conservation on mass littering.

INSTALLATION ACROSS THE CREEK The first segment of the design is the primary guide lines which are is installed by a drone separately. The series of images show are the construction stages of the primary guide lines. The dashed line represents how the rope with droop with gravity. The ropes will be tied to anchor points and have some tension strength but the natural droop is essential for the flooding as the current will provide a strain and pressure on the rope and to avoid the breaking of the rope it is important that it allows some movement and flexibility. The first stage of the guide line is from the blue stone to the lowest point on the tree. The second is the again from the blue stone to the upstream tree, mid way point of the tree. From there the third guide line is installed to the final anchor point, a highest tree point across the creek from the blue stone. The fifth point is mid-way along the first guideline. The drone is also represented in Part C via images of a light path.
