Design Intention & Brief
In response to the summer music and cultural festival that will hold at the concrete forecourt between the MSD building and union house, a canopy is designed for the patrons during the events. The concept of the continuous flow of circulation at the zone as inspiration for the canopy design development. Waffle structure as the envelope of the canopy which holds the whole structure into one continuity flow form. Gaps between the structures control the amount of natural sunlight to penetrate into the interior space. Various schemes (such as the height, width, length and amount of structures) of the form are tested out using parametric system integrate with baselines in 3D Rhino. A physical model of the proposed canopy is fabricated in the scale of 1:100 using laser cut machine.

Parametric Workflow
1.
2.
Create base lines in Rhino and match the datas in the grasshopper canvas.
Loft and offset the curves.
3. Create segmetns at the X and Y axis.
4.
5. Create cylinders at the intersection point of X and Y axis members. (Interlocking of the members for physical model)
A base point to indicate the insection of the X and Y axis planes/ structures.
6. Extrude the X and Y planes.

1. Pull out the trimmed segments by connecting with Brep Plane command.
Design Workflow
Initial Sketches
Data Matching in Grasshopper (GH)
Base Curves in Rhino
(refer to pg 4)
(refer to pg 3)
2. Add curve to selection the parts.
3. Evaluate components coordination.
4. Move command to lay out the parts.
1. Create basic outline/profile of the canopy by creating six curves in Rhino with correct width and height. (Final design)
Fabrication (Parts layout & Labelling)
1. Layout out all the parts before exporting to Rhino.
(refer to pg 10 for labelling)
1. Export the grasshopper model into Rhino by using the Bake command. 2. Scale down to 1:100 before arranging in Panel
Photoshop & Indesign
Export from Rhino to PDF
5. Adjusting the distance between layout parts.
Bake to Rhino

Form Interations of Different Schemes A. Repetition Structures
C. Width A. Curved Form
E. Uniform Flow Fluidity effects less obvious.
Repetition curved structures to create shadding for interior space, wider sense on interior space.
B. Interlocking
F. Variable Flow
Secondary structures to enhance the stability of the whole structure.
B. Motion effects
Fluidity effects very obvious.
A. Fluidity - Density C. Thickness/ Depth
G. Low
D. Tilted
H. High
Increase the depth of the structures to reduce the repetition structures, allowing the wider gaps, more natural light penetrate in the space.
Tilted/rotated secondary structures to create motion/flow effects.
Fluidity effects not obvious, gaps too big.
Denser, better fluidity, requires more materials.
