CERES MARKET SITE ANALYSIS
Ceres is a dynamic and fluid environment which is an entity of fragmented functions which all contribute to its welcoming identity. Despite this appearence, when at the site I found that there was a disjionted notion within exploring the area, as every pocket seemed alienated from one another. Since there is such an emphasis on the ideal of community within Ceres, I found it bizarre that there was no form of connection and a void within the relationship between sections, ultimately prompting me to question how these naural, technical and cultural systems interact. In response I decided to address an area that acts as one of the main connection points within the versatile and complex structure of Ceres, and would like to develop a screen which further emphasises each node within the rich fabric of the site. These aims will be confronted in terms of: - incorporating materiality and structure with the ideal of continuity - reflecting elements of Ceres within the self-commissioned architecture to reiterate the ethos of the environement - giving users a greater appretiation of the landscape and the complexity of Ceres. Patterning is an aesthetic that can be conceptually responsive to not only the breif and the site, but the ideas behind connection and a cohesive structure. As a consequence, I aim for my screen to be based of the pivotal areas within Ceres, allowing them to act as a foundation from which my structure can oscillate and develop from. In relation to computation, Grasshopper allows for such contextual data to create paramteric forms which potray a related identity of an issue but with a different approach. I am to link the components used to push my design to be more resposive with embedded information which allows users to understand its placement within the site and how it can illude to the fundamental morals that construct ceres.

FINAL OUTCOME The complex patterns that result from a cohesive relationship between the primary structure of this Installation and its handing ornamentation has a strong emphasis on fabrication and its influence on design. I aim to approach my project with a similar approach, allowing the physical fabrication of the structure to have a strong impact on its aesthetic identity and presence.

PROTOTYPES
STRUCTURAL AND DECORATIVE
- Woven membrane to act as underlying structure - Uses recessed inserts as the primary forms of joint - Resistant against sheer forces, yet solidified by gluing the openings to ensure the prototype remains structurally integral
- Repeated geometry embodied a formal
quality which could occupy the exterior of design - The punctured centres allows for a complex functionality - potenital pot for plants - Exposed joints emphasises the idea of fabrication as well as the notion of continuity.
- Unrolled geometry was proven as an efficent method of fabrication for curvatious forms. - Interlapping notches allow the prototype to be self-sufficient in relation to its structure - Exposed burn marks are the negative of the prototype, which could be potentially fixed with spray paint or sandpaper.
