What is spatial effects? It is all about space, all related to topological, geometric, or geographic properties.

Like Mr. Thomas Heatherwick The Seed Cathedral It is a box, 15 metres high and 10 metres tall. From every surface protrude silvery hairs, consisting of 60,000 identical rods of clear acrylic, 7.5 metres long, which extend through the walls of the box and lift it into the air, which those acrylic move with the wind, which makes the whole building look bigger than its actual. The design has create a bigger vitual scale for the building itself.

Final Design Model HAND & TOUCH & CONTEXT Can be carrying it or holding it

Abstraction and Reduction I tried to aviod too many lines to describe my model when I was trying to design my model on the RHINO system. I believe if I follow every single details of the clay model with create a lot of complexity if I want to reshape my design in the later stage. Therefore I only use a few lines to shape the model and rehape it later in my RHINO project

The model is designed to be a lantan, it is something you carry in the dark, the purpose of it, to provide light in the dark.

The surface of the lantan can provide special effects, which drive the light direction and reflection

The building of the RHINO model

Digitsation Plasticine Model

The digitsation of the model clay Simpfly it with the circle pattern, then ‘loft’ the layers together to create a surface. The joins 4 individual strucutres together become one connection strucutre

1+1+1+1 = 1

Example of a 2D panelling pattern structure Library for the Free University of Berlin Norman Foster Norman Fosters 1997 Library for the Free University of Berlin is a remarkable structure, providing a lot of elegance, and floor area on a very limited budget.

Design the panelling 2D pattern I used ptPanelGrid create BOX, TRIANGULAR, TRIBASIC, DENSE and Diamond strcuture for my model

Designing panelling 3D pattern

Example of a 3D panelling pattern structure

By using the 3-D connecing patterns, I used the ptPanel3D command to restructure my design, I have tried WIREBOX, PARITION, BOX, WEDGE and PYARMID 1 &2 to reshape my design.

Bishop’s Court Sculpture by Thomas Heatherwick 2002

I also tried the ptManage3DPattern in order to try on my own 3D design pattern.

Heatherwick’s striking sculpture is a cunning disguise for two air vents. The structures, standing 11m high, extend from an electricity substation and provide cooling for four subterranean electricity transformers. Repeated isosceles triangles create a complex helical form in a design that evolved from experiments with paper folding. Made of hard stainless steel, the structure has been blasted with tiny glass beads to create a satin finish.

The final stage Light & sharrow effect

Fabrication

Aim to achieve some layer effects, similar to the light effect as National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) in Olympic Green Village, Chaoyang District, China. The design idea comes from the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in April 2003

Bird’s Nest, it is situated in Olympic Green Village, Chaoyang District
