Living Stadium.
LONDON 2010
DESIGN
CONCEPT
The stadium in the past had an ephemeral functionality. Our initial question inlights of this fact, is how to make a stadium less about the initial function and more to do with engageing and maintaining a constant comunal atmosphere where a facet of activities can be housed.
decomposed bunching algorithm
breaking element
attractor application
This idea seeks to erase the concept of a stadium as a place not just for leasure but as a place for leaving, leasure, bussiness, etc. . Now the new question is how does the stadium function within this realm and maintains its identity? strategy: Transforming interest levels into mathematical data, we made conscious asumptions around a programatic platform, then coded our results into specific intensities. These then were able to influence and affect a grid blanketing the site. This fields of lines was then used as a formal technique to articulate the olympic park, the shell and the inner organisation. recombination

GENERATIVE
DIAGRAMS
The defining algorthim for this surface condition was derived from the spatial diagram seeing it as a gravitational element . the idea of creating a double surface, a duplicate of the initially derived surface to house and support the supporting functions in the stadium.
