PROJECT I: The Blank Facade Canvas

PART ONE: Preliminary Research History
Fabric formwork is a building technology that involves the use of structural membranes as the main facing material for concrete moulds. Unlike traditional formwork, the material is highly flexible and can deflect under the pressure of fresh concrete. ROMANS First appeared with the romans as a result of industrial revolution The Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius explains a method of creating two retaining walls that are filled with clay in woven reed baskets.

RHINO PROCESS STEPS
CONCEPT
1) Create 2 curves EXPANDING/CONTRACTING Inspired from the expan ding/contracting struct ure of the snake as it hunts its prey. Causing changes in dimensions and effect on structure/ pattern on skin of Snake.
2) Divide Curve into Points
DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES Enter SSE (Monster)
Pavilion 2ndEntrance
3) Catenary between two curves
Main Entrance

RHINO PROCESS STEPS 4) Bake without grouping to layer 5) Copy
6) Loft to create 2 Experiences
Transitional Experience - Contracting Seating Socializing Experience - Relaxing

Main SSE Entrance Should be the most inviting, a bit open. Biggest flow of people. (2nd phase of the snake)
Pavilion
Main Entrance
SU Market
2ndEntrance
Enter SSE
Arches Entrance A bit hidden, unnoticable. (1st phase of snake) as it hunts slowly.
Bus Gate Entrance
(Usually people accessing plaza from SSE, not SSE)
SSE is an obstacle in their path (3rd phase of snake, contracting)

The steps chosen made the pavilion very flexible for me. I was able to change the shape as I wanted, trying circles, then polygons, until I reached the shapes that gave me the feeling I wanted. The code was however, hard to edit when I tried to create the differences in the parameters used.
