Architecture is system. It can be one single unit of system. It can also be one of a complex system.

HEIDELBERG ROAD BRIDGE IS ONE OF THE MAIN BRIDGE THAT CONNECTING MELBOURNE CENTRE AREA AND OUTSIDE. IT IS SUROUNDED BY SEVERAL HIGH DENSE RESIDENTIAL ZONES, WHICH PROVIDEDS THIS BRIDGE A HIGH USING FREQUENCY AND A LARGE MOUNT OF PASSENGER FLOW. THE MAIN PASSENGERS OF THIS BRIDGE AREA ARE THE PERSONS ON TRAMS AND PRIVATE CARS. THEY MOVE FAST AND GENERALLY WON’T SPEND MORE THAN 5 MINUTES OVER THE SITE AREA FOR THERE ARE NO TRANSPORT STEP, INFRASTRUCTURE OR ANY PARK AREA. SHORT TIME SPENDING + SIMILAR SCENERIES + HIGH FLOW AT NIGHTFALL & EARLY MORNING = ?

AN FORGOTTEN BRIDGE. COMPARING WITH ITS FUNCTION OF CONNECTING TWO ZONES, THE ECO AREA WHERE THE SITE LOCATED IS MUCH MORE EASY TO BE IGNORED. IN ANOTHER WORD, THE FEELING OF EXISTANCE OF THE ENTIRE ECO ZONE IS BEING COVERED BY THE LANDSCAPE THE ROAD SHAPED AND THE FUNCTION OF TRANSPORTING. IF THE ECO-SYSTEM THE BRIDGE BELONGS TO CAN BE EMPHASIZED AT THIS LOCATION WHERE HUGE AMOUNTS OF PASSENGER FLOW GETTING THROUGH, IT WOULD BENIFIT THE WHOLE RIVER BY MAKING STRONG IMPRESSION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EXISTANCE OF THE RIVER AND ITS ECO-SYSTEM. TO LET PASSENGERS BE AWARE OF THE ECOSYSTEM THE RIVER/BRIDGE BELONGS TO. TO PLANT A SEED INTO PASSENGERS’ MIND, PARTICULAR INTO THE PASSENGERS THAT DO NOT LIVE IN THE NEARBY RESIDENTIAL AREAS. TO TRANSFER THE BRIDGE INTO A LANDMARK THAT CONNECTS ECO-AREA AND TRANSPORTING AREA. HOW TO MAKE IT?

BENDING ACTIVE (BREAKING A SINGLE BEAM INTO SMALL INTERACTING UNITS) COMPUTATION DESIGN IN ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE HAS ITS ADVANTAGE OF REDUCING WORKING LOAD OF CALCULATING AND MAKING ACCURATE DESIGN OBJECTS. FROM THE CASE STUDY AND REVERSE ENGERINING SECTION, IT TURNS THAT IT EVEN ABLE TO HELP GENERATE, VISUALIZE DESIGN OBJECTS. AUTONOMY FORMING OBJECTS SEEMS ALSO POSSIBLE BUT IT IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPING.

FORM-ACTIVE (BENDING ACTIVE IN 2D/A LINE?) THE PATH FROM BENDING ACTIVE TO FORM-ACTIVE IS MADE BY THE DATA LOGIC AND CALCULOUS IDEAS FROM MATHEMATICS. COMPUTATION DESIGN SEEMS HAS A PARTICULAR CONNECTION WITH MATH LOGIC AND DATA STRUCTURE. MATH, AS A TOOL BROUGHT TO ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE BY ITS FUNCTION OF DESCRIPING GRAPHIC AND MEASURING OBJECTS, SEEMS ABLE TO BE APPLIED INTO A MUCH LARGER SCALE PRACTICE BY COMPUTATION, WHCIH HELPED ME UNIFIED THE PERFORMANCE OF BEAM’S BENDING ACTIVE AND MEMBRANE’S FORM-ACTIVE.

ACTIVE & STEADY (2D/LINES TO 3D/MEMBRANE ACTIVE SYSTEM?) HOWEVER, EVEN SIMPLILY USING MATH AND CALCULOUS SEEMS ABLE TO CREATE COMPLEX IMAGES AND GEOMETRICS, THE FORM SEEMS STILL HARD TO BE APPLIED INTO VIRTUAL PRACTICE. THE CREATIONS OF PATTERN MIGHT NOT REQUIRE TOO MUCH CONCREN OF PHYSICAL REALITY. YET, THE GENERATED FORM OF COMPUTATION NEED GRAVITY/MECHANICS DYNAM SIMULATION TO MAKE THE DESIGNED OBJECT SUITABLE TO BE BUILT IN VIRTUAL WORLD, AS THE HANGING CHAIN MODEL APPLIED IN VOUSSOIR CLOUD. IN ORDER TO MAKE DEISGN APPLIABLE TO VIRTURAL PRACTIVE (UNDER GRAVITY PARTICULARLY), I STARTED TO REBUILD ALL THE DESIGNS TO MAKE EVERY STEP OF THEM UNDER APPROPRIATE SIMULATION OF FORCE FIELD. TO LET THE AIR SETTLE DOWN AS CLOUD. TO LET MESH SETTLE DOWN TO ARCH. AIR IS NOT JUST AIR, AIR IS, THEN, AN UNIVERSE WITH PHYSICAL RULES.

SYSTEMATICNESS (SYSTEM IN FORCE FIELD? RATIONALITY OF FORMING) HOWEVER, EVEN SIMPLILY USING MATH AND CALCULOUS SEEMS ABLE TO CREATE COMPLEX IMAGES AND GEOMETRICS, THE FORM SEEMS STILL HARD TO BE APPLIED INTO VIRTUAL PRACTICE. THE CREATIONS OF PATTERN MIGHT NOT REQUIRE TOO MUCH CONCREN OF PHYSICAL REALITY. YET, THE GENERATED FORM OF COMPUTATION NEED GRAVITY/MECHANICS DYNAM SIMULATION TO MAKE THE DESIGNED OBJECT SUITABLE TO BE BUILT IN VIRTUAL WORLD, AS THE HANGING CHAIN MODEL APPLIED IN VOUSSOIR CLOUD. IN ORDER TO MAKE DEISGN APPLIABLE TO VIRTURAL PRACTIVE (UNDER GRAVITY PARTICULARLY), I STARTED TO REBUILD ALL THE DESIGNS TO MAKE EVERY STEP OF THEM UNDER APPROPRIATE SIMULATION OF FORCE FIELD. TO LET THE AIR SETTLE DOWN AS CLOUD. TO LET MESH SETTLE DOWN TO ARCH. AIR IS STILL AIR, BUT AIR IS, NOW, ALSO AN UNIVERSE WITH PHYSICAL RULES WITH FREEDOM OF CREATING AND DESIGNING.

CONNECTION (ULTRA-LIGHT STRUCTURE ON SITE?) FROM A REAL WORLD IN COMPUTATION TO ANOTHER REAL WORLD OF VITURAL. AFTER BREAKING THE HARDEST WALL OF PHYSICAL SIMULATION, EVERYTHING BECOMES MEANINGFUL AGAIN. MATERIAL SIMULATION ENGINED BY FORCE SIMULATION I FOUND FROM CASE STUDY 1 CONTINUE DISCOVERED AND DEVELOPED LATER ON WITH THE APPROACH OF FORCE SIMULATION AND THE STRONG LOAD BEARING STRUCTURE DIRECTLY 3D PRINTED FROM SIMULATED “MOST STEADY FORM” IS AN EVIDENCE OF DIRECTLY REALIZING COMPUTATION DESIGN INTO REAL PRACTICE.

MACRO RATIONALITY (FABRICATION IN 1:1 SCALE? ADDITIONAL) IN 1:1 SCALE, MORE DETAILS AND JOINTS MIGHT NEED TO BE ADDED ON DESIGN. DETAIL MODLE MIGHT NEED TO BE BUILT IN REAL TO TEST ITS PERFORMANCE. EVEN THE TESTS SEEMS ABLE TO BE PUT INTO COMPUTER BY PHYSICAL SIMULATION AND MATERIAL SIMULATION, REAL MODEL MIGHT STILL HELPFUL TO GIVE DESIGN A DOUBLE CHECK FOR THE TECH OF SIMULATION SEEMS HAS A LIMIT IN SIMULATING UNEXPECTABLE PROBLEMS IN REAL PRATICES.
