The Serpintine Summer House (2016) by Barkow Leibinger, is a flowing pavilion created by curved wooden panels.

It creatively encourages the audience to appreciate the landscape by creating seating directed outwards. The threshod into the pavilion is defined through the shadows

OVERVIEW

When drawing the pavilion you begin to understand the intricacy of fabricating a design.

Leibinger has managed to create a design that on the exterior looks like a continuous line but is made up of segmented parts.

The distinguishment in thresholds were created through the shadow that was projected onto the ground shown in the exploded isometric diagram.

I learnt how to produce circulation, threshold and exploded isometric drawings.

The add-on grasshopper in Rhino allows us to program visually to create programs that produces iterations of forms that can be altered and fabricated.

There are two tasks which make up this module.

SURFACE AND WAFFLE

Despite the alternating different panels the overall panel is constructed by unrolling five lenghts of five smaller panels, making it easy to assemble.

Panels have been warped in size to create a diagonal “valley� like effect. Smaller sized panels occupy ther middle whilst larger panels permimeter the outside.

Small triangualr holes are cut into the panels which emphais the opposing directions the panels are facing as well as creating some transparency in the panel.

COMPUTATION WORKFLOW

WARPING THE CUBE CONTROL POINTS THROUGH ATTRACTOR POINTS

A set of attractor points are randomly generated in a box. The control points of the cube are attracted to these points creating these interesting forms inside through manual dissection.

3D MODEL CODE

A copy of the original object is projected onto one of the sides of the object, this is repeated until a large form is created.

SOLID AND VOID

3D MODEL ISOMETRIC

When creating task 2, I begun by creating a triangular form by warping a cube using attractor points. The attractor points were randomly generated thorugh a volume that increased as I created more iterations.

I then focused on building up the form using an additive process which repeats a form on itself simliar to recursion or fractalz.

I then reversed it by subtracting the form from a cube which gave the final form.

The 3-D printed model is an eigth of the final isometric.

3D PRINTING AND FABRICATION

The rhino mesh is imported into a makerbot program which then calculates the time and material required and prepares it for 3d printing.

COMPUTATIONAL PROCESS

ONE SEGMENT OF REPEATED CODE

Following the additive code from last module I created a simple program that creates three of different sizes of a shape that is the same form (trangular prisim without the bottom). This form is then manually copied 3 times to and rotated/positioned to create the pavilion.

COMPUTATIONAL PROCESS

To create the perforactions of the panels, drawing inspiration from weaverbirds picture frame, I copied the object and scaled it down. Using these points I projected lines to the top point from points on the bottom edge which were evenly distributed. After VERTICAL SEPERATIONS CODE

M3 - Leaning Threes Pavilion

ISOMETRIC Key Circulation paths Intended high traffic circulation path Warm light from seating light

The path is lowered to create a low to high angle viewpoint when entering from thei entrance.

A small path connects the lowered path with the raised path, from this small walk the viewer experiences a close up of the panels overlapping each other.

The chairs are created with the same parametric program in grasshopper but decreased in scale and 1/3 has been chopped off.

The entrance on this side has been raised to create a high to low angle shot view point of the pavilion.

Internal lightning inconjunction with the vertical perferations on the panel create create “rays� of light on the water.

Warm light lights up the interior of the pavilion encouring people to enter it from afar, and overcome the cold steel exterior.

When circulating the space overlapping moments are created as you walk past them, the landscape encourages movement around the pavilion to exhume this.

Parts of the main entrance have been cut increasing ceiling height.

Construction of panels shown through an explodoed diagram.

The main entrance has been kept level to allow for easy access.

Spotlights create shadows inside the pavilion as well as light the outside panels up. The forms are made from the same parametric program as the pavilion then scaled down.
