Reflection

2018 - current University of Melbourne

Design has been relatively intuitive during the short time I have been doing the Bachelor of Design course, approaching it through what word, pieces of literature, art or forms has an impact on me at the moment. In taking Digital Design, I have been challenged to change my approach in design and take on the use of set rules in parametric design. Parametric design opens up many opportunities for designers as countless iterations

are generated in an instant and there is an element of surprise that would otherwise could not be achieved without the help of parametric softwares. This subject further exposed me to the seamless transition between design and fabrication that is now possible. From generating design in Grasshopper to creating real time rendering in Unreal and CNC fabrication processes, design workflow can be significantly more flexible and effective. Looking at my design outputs in this subject, there is a vast room for improvement and more learning which can greatly help me in future projects in other studios and architectural practices.

Diagramming Design Precedent

MPavilion 2018, Carme Pinรณs This pavilion forms an inviting space that is created through the collaboration of design, material and nature. The design explores origami-like tilts and rotations on the roof structure, having points touch two mounds on the landsape and connect with the park as a whole. The detail lays on the timber cladding of the roof and walls, creating a play of shadows that enhances the spatial qualities in the pavilion.

This task explores the change of spatial qualities formed by sharp and round geometries, The fragment shows this in having a heavy monumental facade connect to a rounded communal area.

This task explores the comparable contrast of modules that curls inwards and outwards. Even with each surface carrying one of the two, they share the same language and compliments each other coherently.

Iterations of the surfaces are the main drivers for the design by testing relationships between the two surfaces horizontally, vertically and connecting edges and/or corners. Testing 2d and 3d panels also describes and emphasizes characteristics of the sufaces. The final design uses the 1.3 surfaces with combinations of 4 panel shapes. 9

Attractor / Control Points (X

Surface and Waffle 3D panels curling inwards diagonally following the curve of the surface. Three types of pyramids are used in this design to create effects of movement

2D Panels arranged diagonally, separating the two corners with 3D panels. Panels are plain with a diagonal folding which goes the opposite way of the 3D panel diagonal.

Different angles of orientations to create a look of explosion, combined with greater heights to create more volume.

The goal was to capture the curve of the surfaces through the motion of growing inwards and outwards by the placing of the modules. 2D and 3D modules are arranged in order of a diagonal line across each surface. With the two surfaces facing opposite directions, the arrangement is an actionreaction. Where modules are flat on one surface, they are 3D on the other side and vice versa.

Grasshopper Script Using attractors to have variations in height and size of the panels that will hold the modules.

Determining the base surfaces by moving each corner point to a point on the bounding box edges.

Further considerations for the waffle structure leads to excluding components that are not neccessary and/or disrupting the design as a whole

Generating waffle structure by using XY and Z contour lines. Surfaces are made out of each contour line giving a body to the waffle structure.

Module 2 - Generating Design Through Digital Processes

Modules are built onto the surfaces. Different modules are experimented to reach the desired effect.

Laser Cut

Module 2 - Generating Design Through Digital Processes

Laying the panels and waffle components on a flat plane shows the amount of material needed to construct the design. It also gives information on how to build the model, whether lines are cut completely or etched for folding. The process of creating the laser cut file mainly involves nesting and labelling. Nesting is done to be efficient in terms of materials and cut times which makes it cost effective.

Task B

Solid and Void

Boolean creating a more enclosed space for more private functions. Smaller openings act as physical thresholds, changing the atmosphere of the spaces.

Various spaces overlapping into one larger area for communal activities. The absence of physical borders creates a softer threshold, transitioning gradually form outside to inside.

The goal was to capture both sharp and soft edges to show the qualities and possibilities of space. While the spheres are set to cut out larger areas so that some can overlap and create combined spaces, the tetrahedron shapes are set to cut out smaller chunks of volume to create enclosed spaces. Different qualities of thresholds are formed to allow transition between the two types of spaces.

Semi private spaces created by the boolean geometries with openings for sunlight and angled walls for shade

The geometries were the drivers for making iterations in this task. After testing different shapes, the tetrahedrons and spheres are chosen to be in the final design. The grids are adjusted using point attractors, they then determine the positioning of the geometries. The maximum and minimum sizes of the shapes are changed to create different volumes of space. 16

Attractor / Control Poin

Grasshopper Script

Manipulation of grids in the box with the use of point attractors, forming different volumes of subspaces within.

Module 2 - Generating Design Through Digital Processes

Experimenting with different geometries to reveal the qualities of spaces created in the boolean process.

A 3x3 grid is generated for each face of a cube.

3D Printing

3D Printing processes gives clear information on the amount of time and material needed to fabricate models. This allows for further design considerations in terms of orientation, support structure and scale.

M3 â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Passageâ&#x20AC;? Queen Victoria Garden Pavilion

In such a fast paced world, we sometimes forget to slow down and allow some time toÂ breathe. Taking inspiration from human ribs, this pavilion aims to suggest an transitional area of cleansing from the busy world. The area in the pavilion gets sunlight during the day to facilitate seminars. The extended area of the pavilion accomodates seatings for larger crowds when there are performances in the evening. The ground of the pavilion is sunken down to create a space that is private but inclusive and approachable. The use of timber gives qualities of nature, making the pavilion space a private garden whithin the public garden.

Isometric

Gaps between the modules are more constant facing south to allow gentle sunlight into the interior. The curving of the modules creates an illusion of fully solid structure at certain angles, acting as a subtle privacy barrier.

Modules facing North are placed more tightly together to filter harsh sunlight for activities during the day.

The structure and the shadows casted act as thresholds defining the area of the pavilion.

Steeper steps surrounding the pavilion to accomodate seatings needed for functions

Pavilion area sunken down surrounded by steps for access and seating.

Design Iteration

This iteration opens on one side, this allows opportunities to manipulate the landscape. Resolutions would need to be refined about the floating sheets.

This iteration explores interlocking structures. Further considerations are mainly on fabrication processes and resolution on the interlocking parts.

Module 3 - Queen Victoria Garden Pavilion

This iteration resembles a growing sprout with the roof structure taking the form of a leaf. However, the space is made smaller due to the low roof.

Grasshopper Script

Using an ellipse as the base shape where the components are aligned to.

Placing an array of polygons along the curve, experimenting with different types of polygons at this stage.

Module 3 - Queen Victoria Garden Pavilion

Softening the polygon shape by making rounded corners and curves along the edges.

Cutting the form with a plane acting as the ground, this opens up the space for circulation and uses.

1mm white mountboard

3mm white perspex

The model is fabricated with the use of laser cut and 3D print processes. Laser cuts are done on white perspex and mountboard sheets with varying thickness to represent the correct scale. 3D prints are done for a layer of the land, printing designated cutouts on the position of each pavilion components to assist in accurate model asselbling.
