Tesselation
Patterns have cultural and political possibilities enabling new practices to address in the urban context. Structuralist approach were developed to introduce variation in the pattern. From structural and environmental control functions, a tendency towards polygonal tessellations in contemporary envelopes. Polygonal geometries requirements in terms of insulation and security performance, a polygonal tessellation will provide a smaller joint length per surface unit than rectangular grids, so this tendency may even be driven by a contemporary desire for sealed, immunising atmospheres.

In the Spanish Pavilion for Aichi 2005, the pattern is differentiated automatically by the particular geometrical quality of the six deformed hexagons, with no other purpose than to represent a differentiated colour field that, despite its contingent appearance, is governed by the geometrical laws of the parts. The pattern then project into the structure of the tessellation pattern.
Tessellation Six different hexagonal ceramic tiles, colour-coded with a yellow and red tones, form a system that automatically produces a contingent pattern of colour.

Festival of Ideas for the New City May 7th, 2011 SOFTlab produced a hanging installation for the entrance to School Nite, an exhibition of site-specific installations, performances. It located between streets. The surface contains more than 1400 battery powered LEDs. The piece was designed to light up the entrance for the night time event. The main formal expressions of the installation are the hanging pieces that flicker and blow in the wind, with the intention of slowing down traffic through experience and effect rather than typical barriers.

A Light Installation The annual Vivid Sydney festival transforms the Australian metropolis with light, music and ideas. The pinnacle of the event is a series of spectacular light installations scattered throughout the city. For this year’s edition, created a site-specific viewing pavilion. ‘This started off our interest in designing panelised enclosure systems that deal with doubly-curved surfaces – a fairly universal topic in the domain of digital design, but one which is seldom investigated at the level of digital fabrication strategies which attempt to integrate structure and skin into single system,’ he says.
The outer form was first divided into a hexagonal grid, which was subsequently optimised into slightly irregular Voronoi cells, the geometry of which is reflected in the supporting aluminium structure of the 380 individual modules. The visual dialogue and framed views we created between the pavilion, the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House were highly specific and intentional. ‘The pavilion – in concept – was designed to be interactive and respond to movement and proximity of occupants, resulting in dynamic lighting behaviour. This would be driven by small infrared sensors connected to programmable Arduino hardware to control the circuitry,’ the architect concludes.

The design area was located near the primary school, reserve site and park, also near the CBD. It has high density, traffic but also has great nature environment. Refer to the reverse engineering project,it is an entrance for mainly night time use between the streets. It use Nurbs Curve to play with the four corner points and use the attractor point to control it. Link to the part C, the form of pavilion can use the attrctor curve and image simple together to link back more into the site. For example, the contour of the real site becomes the attractor curve, the primary school location can become the attract point. It can design with the surrouding trees and find out the great shadow.
