INTRODUCTION Through explorations and research of spatial & form qualities that can be extracted from typological buildings, We merged the results of our amplified building forms with the similarities found from the explorations. Sharing certain qualities to interconnect the space by duplicating and shifting the forms, a more complex form was achieved in relation to social encounters and the active and interactive social encounters within the spatial arrangement, creating more opportunities for people and the program to be more engaged. Occupying site 3, where farmland is located across the area, this project aims to expand the use of farm and its development for the future of agriculture with the implementation of modern and advanced technology that supports the architecture to improve high-tech farming while being educational and cultural to the surrounding environments Proposed to be a high tech research and development centre for farming, the infrastructure of the area is being utilised to facilitate the project, mimicking hills, the ground rises from below ground as it becomes one with the architecture, reassembling the connection of infrastructure and architecture.

WORLDING & NARRATIVE As the population growth increases and food and water become scarce the world decides to drop its differences and take up new methods of research and understanding into developing its agricultural sciences. New stances are taken in becoming the leading forces in agriculture designed to combat climate change. Experimental foods and methods of farming are trialled, nothing left to the unknown as the AgriculTech becomes a powerhouse in sustainable agriculture, with research laboratories, development facilities and farming sectors, food engineering labs and even a marketplace to allow the public to become directly involved in this far reaching step forward into the future. The Cocoroc township has evolved from a congregation of people living and farming together to a class of people learning, researching and farming together. In addition the marketplace is quite imperative as it sits not far from the existing pools whilst creating engagement and social encounters within the active space. Conceptual ideas of the farming The future of agriculture will require new rules, new morals and new stances on what is and isn’t possible, broadening our ideas to combat climate change Vertical Farming - Soilless Farming techniques Hydroponics Hydroponics doesn’t stop at artificial sunlight, it is an efficient method of farming at an optimal level. Due to the enclosed environment it is possible to; monitor the plants for pests and insects, conduct experiments, water precisely, analyze ripeness, evaluate soil quality, administer fertilizer optimally, control temperatures and climates. These processes also include environmental benefits as less waste is produced and the plants are grown more conservatively. The future of farming also includes: Vertical Farming - Soilless Farming techniques Drone Farming 3D Printing Artificial Food Meat Cloning

“There was a deliberate attempt to generate diverse forms of social encounter in the building: “seeking potential overlap between the programs and encouraging exchange between the users of its diverse functions, whilst allowing a pragmatic and nearly autonomous use of individual spaces”. - Kim Dovey & Scott Dickson

SHIFTED The model was based on the typological behaviour of a dam, where the formal structure tends to be a bridge in between 2 infrastructural landscapes, as well as the possibility of retaining water on each side. The idea is to create a manipulation of the physical structure by shifting the divided forms to generate a different outcome that provides new formal compositions and voids, creating new opportunities for the forms to be shifted to produce various different shapes of the structure that impact how the architecture can be used as an environmental building as well as a learning facility on the site.

SWAYING CIRCULATION Process Position: To investigate the movement and swaying of circulation paths and how they can be manipulated and twisted into different formations. The typological behavior is the entwining paths that encompass Zoo’s that serve with a didactic purpose. The circulation of Zoo’s depend on many factors that need to be taken into account such as; adequate room for enclosures and their facilities, other operational facilities, circulation for staff, adequate distance between certain enclosures, food and drink store placement and overall paths to keep customers entertained for longer. Analyzing data from wind patterns at the nearest weather station from Cocoroc (Avalon Airport), the wind strengths and directions were recorded to manipulate the main enclosures of the paths, effectively warping them to create hills, valleys, new pathways and new crossroads. Process: 1. Each main enclosure was recorded with a pinpoint on the GOD. 2. Placed a X, Y and Z axis over the GOD 3. Each month of weather patterns was linked to a corresponding pinpoint. 4. The corresponding pinpoints were then moved further or closer to the axis depending on the direction 5. The distance moved was used by converting existing frequency data into a strength percentage, thus 40% frequency meant 40% of its original distance from the axis is used as the varying new distance. 6. The two pathways were rotated by using the entrance points as the center of rotation, both frequency numbers were added and converted to degrees

PROGRAMMATIC DIVISION The model is generating an interconnection between the programme and spatial arrangements to create an engagement between people and the architecture. With the combined space of correlating programmes, it makes the areas to be more active and interactive.
I want to duplicate the volumetric space of the programme and use this duplication to shift the spatial arrangements, linking these spaces while expanding the overall volume and form of the building. This would extend the space and create opportunities for the area to be utilised in a different approach, connecting the various programmes situated within it.
Using the typological behaviour of museums, the space is utilised to be didactic towards the environment, culture, art and history where the possibilities technological advancements can be adapted and engaging with the infrastructural landscapes with the building program.

SHIFTING
EXPLORATION: INDIVIDUAL B
MODULES
Process Position: To investigate the shifting nature, rotating axis’ and stacking effect of modular components and typologies in architecture that create an increasingly complex structure. The typological behavior is the modular, extruded components that repeat in similar fashions creating stacked block forms. Block forms come in many varieties but the nature of a shifting and repeating form made from extruded volumes that shift from the main silhouette was the main interest. Some are simple extrusions, others have modular components or are part of a larger design and begin to stack and twist upon one another. Using the average min/max temperature of months, a dissected GOD is given a corresponding temperature in which each block will land on a specific day of the month. Multiple grids are overlaid on one another for each month. Once completed all the modular components are then landed in place, with the larger clusters grouping together at a center, but no module overlaps as they only meet at their first point of contact. Process: 1. Dissect GOD into 23 components. 2. Each component is numbered to a degree starting from 14. 3. The daily min/max temperature per month is then used to pick the correlating component. 4. Layers of different cluster grids are stacked upon one another with a corresponding month 5. Each component is then placed in the grid with a corresponding date 6. The components are then moved towards the center and at the point of contact to one another if they belong to a cluster. 7. Lastly, the components are dropped to the floor
