What did you achieved
Skills:
Through the whole 12 weeks study, I find out that I design with my passion of lights and shadow as well as geometry shapes. My frist module was Zaha’s building, which play with regular shapes and show out lights and shadow in an very obvious ways. Since that, I try to contact my following parvilions with thoses two ideas and create confortable and interesting things. I really have learnt a lot during these 12 weeks, I learnt how to use grasshopper, lunchbox in rhino and unreal engine which I never touched before. I learnt that use grasshoper to design buildings is the basic step at an architect should do because it gives analytical data and reliable information through writing programs and it can also find out mistakes by itself. Moverover, unreal engine makes your parvilion more real and visiable while wearing VR glasses.

As a designer, I think people mush think about three aspects. Frist is the threshold, one building must have one or several thresholds to provide circulation and ways for movements. Second is stand-able, which means a pravilion can stand by it self in real world. Thrid is lights and shadows.
Illustrator Indesign Fabrication add more ++
Finally, I recognize that I can’t remember many programs in grasshoper and I design ideas are not creative enough. I like to think in a more realistic ways but not design ways and I will inprove that in my following design works.

Diagramming Design Precedent
Zaha Hadid - Burnham Pavilion 2009
The precedent study is used as a public pavilion for multiple reasons. Just as the picture shows, there are two entrences in Burnham Pavilion and it provide an interesting place for passer-by to interact with and explore. Spaces should be designed to be flexible in order to lend themselves to a wider range of uses over time. The pavilion is composed of an intricate bent-aluminum structure, with each element shaped and welded in order to create its unique curvilinear form.

Surface and Waffle This surface is made by one module, which has half pyrmaid and half 2D face. There is a hole in each 2D section, which create spaces for sun passes.
When I creating these two surfaces, I try to use both 2D and 3D sections to show out the curves and shadows. I was three different modules to make up the two surfces. The front surface has two types of modules, one is pyramid and another is divided into two pards, which are one pyramid with a trustum of a pyramid. The back suface is made by one module, which is half pyramid with half 2D surface. Both of the holes and the 2D surfaces provide dappled light into the interior of the structure. My waffle structure are all made by striaight lines but they formed together, they are two curved surfaces. There are 8 layers of horizontal structures and 10 layers of vertical waffle structures in both left and right side. The very front two vertical waffle structure are at the edge of the horizontials, so I don’t use them when I mak- ing the physical module.

This part is created by one pyramid with a trustum of a pyramid. There are gaps on the top of each pyrmaid.

Computation Workflow
Each surface is divided up into a series of points which are used to form a grid. These curves are then offset from each surface and lofted to from a waffle structure
Task 01 Grasshopper Script Showing input - associate - output
The normals of each intersection point in the surface are then calculated. These are used to create cuts in each layer of the waffle for assembling the model at the plane intersections.

The curves of the waffle structure are then unrolled with reference labels to prepare the waffle for laser cutting
The laser cutting process was fairly straightforward and helped to streamline the model making process. A lighter paper thickness would have helped improve the accuracy and appearance of the 3D paneled facade.

SOLID AND VOID
The main concept used in this task is geometric and hence the platonic octahedron is the shape used throughout the design. By trying out different point attractor, and playing with the scale of both larger and smaller shape, the final design is created and booleaned out from the cube. Lastly and most improtantly, the boolean shape is boolean again in different angles to obtain the desired final outcome which is to achieve 1/8 of the cube volume.

A box is generated and divided on each axis into three to create a 3*3*3 series of points
Using point and curve attractors, these grids are then manipulated to distort the structure. These new points are then

M2 Task 2 3D Printing
In this view, it is obvious that the centrel part of this model is empty and there are several regular threshold in each surfaces
This is the 3D printing pre-make model by makerbot, the process takes around 9 hours to print.
This view point show out diamond shapes and shadows in different direction.

Mushroom Pavilion was designed as a shelter place for assembly and social interaction. The design concept is use lights, shadow and regular shapes to create a anti-compulsive effect. In order to create that, I use circular pipes in grasshoper to form and make waffles. I put four lights in this pavilion, one is on the inside centrel area, which can create beautiful shadows and other 3 are located on the ground. This pavilion is stand on three mable steps, which also availble for seating.

Light aluminum form. This gives the pavilion a external heaviness at day and lightness at night.
The structure is created using profile and sectioning techniques. The radial x-axis members re-enforce the curvature of the form.
The threshold at the top of the pavilion creates an oculus and a hole for sun pass. There is a light in the centrel, which creates interesting shape of shadow thought the threshold
SHIYI WANG- 940479 The step-up creates a seating space to allow for viewing of performances inside the pavilion.
The stairs creates a transitional space upon approaching to the pavilion.

The structure is double waffled and all circule structures are tied into the vertial faces
This basic shape of my pavilion is like a mushroom which grow up from the ground level and create shelter for people or things below it

The horizontal structures are tuin curves which are recognized as aluminium structure to support the top shelter and linked all vertial waffles together. I used lazer cut to build the waffles and structures and use 3D printing to make to top shelter. The floor part are circular steps and there are 3 steps in total. The material of floor is marble.

All unrolled waffles need to be meshed and layout edge lines of waffle structures. The 3D printing process is quite easy, I double check the thickness and scale of the shelter part in Rhino and generate this makerbot file for 3D printing.
