WEEK 6 READING: SURFACES THAT CAN BE BUILT FROM PAPER IN ARCHITECTURAL GEOMETRY Question 1: What are the three elementary types of developable surfaces? Provide a brief description.

(Maximum 100 words) Cylinders, cones and tangent surfaces are three types of developable surfaces.

1. Cylinders are made up by a group of parallel lines and modeled by a defaulted curve which are extruded in various directions.

2.Cones are made up of a single vertex point that have numerous lines at the end of given profile curve.

3.Tangent surfaces are made by the application of polygons with set vertices, which create the polygon and make up its surfaces.

Question 2: Why is the understanding of developable surface critical in the understanding of architectural geometry? Choose one precedent from Research/Precedents tab on LMS as an example for your discussion. (Maximum 100 words) IUnderstanding developable surfaces are critical in understanding of architectual geometry since developable surfaces consists of a group of straight lines, which simplifies the contructing process.

Example: Stage set for John Jasperse was a morphing structure which can allow the dancers engage with the architectual piece, it eases the construction and maximum flexibility.

PANELLING 2D PATTERN An example of trangle 2D pattern

This is my 2D panel, it contains three different types of patterns, which all based on box patterns and meshed surface.

VARIABLE 2D PATTERN

These three 2D panels all come from the box pattern in 2D pnaelling tools, with a relatively high polyface of mesh.

WEEK 7 READING: DIGITAL FABRICATION Complete your reading before attempting these questions:

Question 1: What is digital fabrication and how does it change the understanding of two dimensional representation? (Maximum 100 words) Digital fabrication is the pinnacle of mordern technology in creating buildings. It is essentially 3 dimensinal modelling and visualization, genarative from finding scripted modulation systems.In building up 3D models in the software with many handy tools, the designers are enabled to test ideas fruitfully.

Question 2: Suggest two reasons why folding is used extensively in the formal expression of building design? (Maximum 100 words) Folding can help a three dimensinal shape can be formed. It can be very efficient when creating complex objects. Also, creating space by folding can be thought eco-friendly, with lowercost that makes best utilize of the space, structure study, which is and remarkable advantage.

EXPLORING 3D PANELLING

My 3D landscape design basiclly inspires from the initial terrian, which can be captured a slight U-shape from the side view. Therefore, the front and back line were used as attractor curves. The highest pyrimid are also located at two side. As it goes deeper to the contre part, the elevation height goes down eventually.

UNROLL TEMPLATE OF YOUR FINAL MODEL

Most of unroll templates contain two to four 3D panels, either forming a straight line up or L-shape line up.

APPENDIX

Appendix 1: Since the 2D panels were unfolded almost all individually, therefore, the 2D surface does not look perfectly smooth because of huge amounts of tab frames.
