Design is a subject that covers a lot of knowledge. It is not only the about creation and inspiration, but also the combination of drawing technology and model manufacturing. As a digital design student, this subject gives me great challenges, but more fun to harvest knowledge. Every project should start with the most basic research of information,and build our own concept accordingly. Concepts can be elements from nature, nouns, small things around you, and even a piece of waste paper is a source of inspiration. Each step of development, each change, needs sufficient reasons to make their work richer andmore logical. The first project helps students recapture rhino skills andaccording to precedant pavilions as examples to model. This project enables students to understand the circulation arrangement, threshold, people's habits of using pavilions, and the guiding role of light, shadow and terrain of landscape. The second project let me know about 3D printing technology, and reviewed the use of laser cutting. Digitizingmakes my understanding of design go a step further. At the same time, grasshopper's learning enables me to have a deeper understanding of parametric modeling. And in the future design, the comlicated parametric model is no longer difficult to implement because of the lack of software. The third project is the most vivid and interesting one. It introduces unreal as a rendering tool to help deepen the color of the black and white model and make it more real and convenient for customers to understand the shape of the project. Each project has a rigorous knowledge framework, which is like two hands leading us toexplore more.

“2018: Carme Pinós”. 2019. Mpavilion. http://mpavilion.org/ architect/2018-carme-pinos/.

The process during constructing the- Mpavil ion met several challenges. The plan drawing is easy to posion the pavilion but the - eleva tion and section drawing was hard to read properly due to the different angles of its shape. It was confusing about how to - deter mine the correct dimention of - each com ponent beacuse there still was a distence between the elevation lines and the paviliion itself. And the methods of connecting two floating planes were multiple but mirror one of them to duplicte another is the eastest one for me. “ROTATING “helped a lot when connecting individual part together,

Choosing this South-east angle can show more information not only the volume of the pavilion but also the cellar under the mound. The only shortcoming of this view is it hide the gutter that collecting rainwater. The structure consists of four layers component. A layer of connected with beams as the main structure; and also two layers of There are different directions of the timber frame so I carefully tracing the planview-lines to make sure the direction is correct, and the distance between each single timber batten is same.â&#x20AC;?Arrayâ&#x20AC;? command helped me a lot. The thesis of this Mpavilion is to establish a relationship between human and nature, provide a a harmonious environment within this city. The and also follow the human-made moundsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shape to communicate with each other. When consider about the circulation and threshold, I think the main timber battens provide fragmented and grid shaow, which also can follow the solar path to change the angle and direction to the ground. It help people consider where is the relative privacy space like under is privacy due to the high position, Leaning on the timber support also can provide people a sence of security. The circulation of this area main from the North east and South east beacause the entrance is close to the path of the park. People seat on the bench ,but not alwasy under the shadow but also want to seat at the space between drak and bright area. which can provide a good view for sightseeing,

M2 Generating Design Through Digital Process

Module2 Process

In grasshopper, use the exist two surfaces to create contour lines by command [decontruct brep]and[contour]. which are the base lines for x

which is used for trim the intersection part for ongoing model making.

For laser cutting layout, using [list length] in xyplane to create rectangular outer

The script started from creating one 150x150x150 cube by[boundary surface]. Then divided the edge of the box, and adjust the point selected on the curve to change the shape of the surface. [Loft] used for creating the two surfaces.

Module2 Process

[surface domin number] used creating 25 grid on one surface. Offset particulardistance help ti build the geometry patterns on the surfaces. [Morph 3D] and [cull for creating the pattern. All the pattern baked should be meshed and then mesh to nurb for further unrolling,

Module2 Isometric

2D panel creates dappled shade for interior, collabrited with the closed prymid geometry provide the veriaty of the shaow.

The attractor point is almost at the middle of one surface which allow the 3D panel close to the structue smoothly.

3D panel in one grid creates by 4 tiny prymids as creating shadow area and block the visual sight from outside. The direction it towards following the attractor point movement.

Relative slim openning creates the visual separation between interior and exterior space. The direction towards west allow the sunsetlight through the interior space.

Change the direction of the hollow pattern to creates fun light shadow

shape to arrange the individual ones would save time and material for laser cutting. For better aesthetic of the skin, used [cull pattern] to distribute the 2d and 3d panel in parametric ways. The 2d could be regarded as the feather of the bird through the clouds. Hollowed the 2d panel to create the dapped shadow for interior space

even though the material is used a lot but it could ensure the whole structure are stable.

Module2 Process

In grasshopper, it started in creating on 150x150x150 boudary box. And then use[surface domin number] to generate lines and grid. create the origianl grid of 3x3. Adding attractor point or curve attractor to control the grid points.

Using [construct domin] [remap numbers] to control the size and the distribution of the geometry. Set the [scale] and [rotation] command help to rotate the individual geometry for further interesting boolean result.

Using [construct domin] [remap numbers] to build the center box across through the torus surface which provide the intersection of those part, help to connect the space together.

Module2 Isometric

Using planonic octahedron geometry as boolean difference with the block. Roof top was hollowed for sunlight pass through

roof top allow the sunligh pass through inside area.

Polygonal arch creat entrance for people pass through The remaining parts support the whole building as pillars

small scale hollow for visual sight between interior and exterior

The geometry was rotated so that made the facade more interesting

Space would be more to the Space interspersing.

As the position of the geometry is different, the boolean difference part of the hollow would be different in size.

M3 Queen Victoria Garden Pavilion

Module3 Process

Module3 Isometric The pavilion consists of three sectors, each facing in one direction. The ups and downs symbolize Melbourne's downtown. As it located in Queen's Park, it is shaped like a butterfly's wing.The material of middle sector is wood, which blends with the landscape and the surrounding environment.

The left sector is a combination of the other two, with both a star-shaped frame and a translucent glass face covering it, providing shelter from the rain. The three fans have three different senses of experience, which are suitable for a variety of people.

On the right side of the fan is the shape of the stars as a pattern, all open-air, hollow. Sunlight can be directly sunburnt in and create groups of shadows that will attract more children. The material is stainless steel and aluminium, and the shine of the metal shines more brightly in the sunlight, shining like a star.

White material is used to cater to his main tone, and steel bar is used as the main structure. External color rendered white

MAIN CIRCULATION PATH

SECONDARY CIRCULATION PATH

The ground is concepts of rotation and spiral, like the whirlpool hanging from the takeoff of a butterfly, and symbolizes the flow of the Yala River in all directions. Seats grow out of the ground, connecting the ground and it. A small pool is placed on both sides to attract people to stop and rest. Several seats are disconnected, leaving enough space for people to pass through, creating richer paths.
