CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION Computational Habitats will have a particular focus on the digital tool building process. Students will, through creating their own tools and workflow, adapt their design process to react to constraints such as sustainability, modularity/efficiency, materiality, and social issues. Students will be further supported in this by a series of exercises, workshops, case studies, and guest lectures. Students will through the studio’s approach produce a developed design in response to their interrogation of the brief to be represented in boards and conceptual masses, a journal reflecting their computational design studies, experiments, strategies and design journey, and one or more custom digital design tools. Computational Habitats will, through its focus on digital workflow exploration, bespoke digital tool design, and attention to multidisciplinary factors, provide participants with an opportunity to explore digital design in a way relevant to the real world, and the potential to affect industry practice through publication. Computational strategies have become established drivers of design innovation. An inherent process of algorithmic design is the decomposition of a problem into subproblems which may be tackled within a framework. Computational Habitats will take this approach to its brief, and will look at site analysis as a problem generator. Students will be asked to identify, analyse, and decompose the major issues of the site and brief, and to use the resulting framework to guide creation of their own digital tools and workflow to fi nd unique solutions for the design problem and create innovative responses. Computational Habitats will examine a mixed-use development on a signifi cant Collins Street site that incorporates historical overlay and multiple levels of public interaction. Students will each undertake the design of a building from initial concept to the production of a well-defi ned built environment. Computational methods such as structural, environmental, and building performance analysis, form finding, and optimisation will play pivotal roles in understanding current theory and practice of digital architecture.

Environmental Analysis
Defining a development envelope
Two specific parameters of interest: (1) set-backs; (2) height limit. To obtain relevant information regarding the above, a research is conducted with the use of Planning Map and the Melbourne Planning Scheme.
40m
40m
A maximum height of 180m is retstricted by the planning scheme Schedule 51
Shadow analysis is conducted to study the overshadowing of the maximum developable envelope to adjacent buildings, and more important the south bank of the Yarra River as regulated by the Melbourne Planning Scheme Schedule 3 To the Dockland Zone.To fufill the planning regulation, the maximum height is reduced from 180m to 175m.
A side setback of 3m, as derived from the average setback distance of adjacent buildings is introduced to the site
A front setback of 5m is introduced.

CHAPTER 5 Personal Project This Project emphasizes on solving site problems by utilizing computational strategies to analyze, modify, re-evaluate them so as to turn harzards into benefits for users both inside and outside of the building. First of all, to produce visual, physical and thermal comfort can be the primary goal of this design. Identifying problems surrounding the site became the primary issue. By using Vray, Grasshopper, Vasarri and Ecotect, many negative site conditions have been identified such as visual, shadow and circulation blockage, wind turbulence at street levels etc.. Secondly, after visualizing those site issues in my illustrator diagrams, they helped a lot in forming 3 major design intentions of my project.(detail reasons are described in journal) 1. Extended podium level; 2. Two voids in the building; 3. Inclined upper parts; These 3 intents are serving as 3 dominating gestures throughtout the whole design process of massing and details determination. Last but not least, these analysis from all those simulations and summary diagrams also remind me of re-evaluating them so as to help with some detail design. Such as the north facade of the project. Peak radiation level data from Ecotect gives back the exact isolation data of the main sun-facing surface. It not only modified but also determined both the amount of shading panels and material choose of them. Also, such a re-evaluation by those computational tools improved both aesthetic and functional features of the design like those side tilted opening designs. Feedbacks from these tools not only helped with modifying details of the design also proved the massing decision from multiple tests before. Like the bottom attrium void does reduced the discomfortness from wind turbulence and introduce more daylight into people gathering place. Hopefully, with the assist of the computational thinking and tools, this design can become the new urban hot-spot and breaking the normal urban skyline to lead a new style of urban commercial tower.

Massing Study (Case Study) Modified program allocation based on view generated form
Type 1: Single Mass rotating Dancing & Harmony tower by Daniel Libeskind
Phare Tower, Paris by Morphosis
Single Mass rotating tower stands out more harmony and united. Slightly breaking the downtown skyline but the the single mass would increase the visual and wind blockage towards our site.

Type 2: Profile Curve rotating Abosolute Tower by MAD Architects
Urban Forest proposed by MAD Architects
Rotating Towers, Dubai
Profile rotating towers are easily to be modified by designers thoughout parameters. Easier to finalize the form based on various natural and historical elements. However, to create the optimistic form as wanted, it seems bit hard to control the shape of profile curves. Also seems more expensive and time consuming to construct.

Type 3: Curvy Outline Moscow Rotating Tower
Paris Dynamic Tower
Jockey Club Innovation Tower by Zaha Hadid
These towers have an common feature that people recognize their curvy outlines first from far distance in either vertical or horizontal ways. Those manifest curvy edges also create the dynamic feeling responding to wind vector or air flow features. However, many of these projects still in proposal stage. They all seems bit harder to construct and function efficiently

Type 5: Bundle Mass Rotating Mid West Tower Dubai
Dancing Building by Zaha Hadid
Bundle Mass Rotating buildings are always recognized as multi mass projects. We recognize their figures by considering them as a whole. The transformation of each elements are interacting with others and recognized by viewers individually. To create form like this in our site might require detailed calculation towards GFA, NLA etc.

Type 6: Wind Energy Utilized (with a hole in mass City of Dreams Hotel Tower by Zaha Hadid
Bahrain World Trade Center
This type of building are always have certain relationship with wind. Either in energy aspect of view or in form finding aspect. As wind is a great feature in our site, learning from these massing strategies would help a lot. To get more details of how to design a tower similar to this type requires huge amount of research towards wind energy use and structure requirements.

Benefits Of Three Gestures (based on Sunlight, Wind, View & Movement)
Gesture 1: Extending bottom part to Shed direction • Volumetric Requirement (as maximum height limited by shadow study) • Reducing wind turbulence at ground level (create more comfort for pedestrains) • Generating more sun path facing side volumes which introducing more daylight into the building (visual comfort) • More public accessible area for introducing people into the building and increased the people engagement around the building (Commercial purpose) • Cost and Economy aspects: this volume lowers the price as higher expensive part is moved down
Gesture 2: Having cutouts/voids on both top and bottom parts • Atrium provides shelter at ground level which increased people engagement and can be a potential hotpot for urban life (Movement, Urban life) • Internal Views and Natural Daylight (logical and emotional connection of inside and outside) • Increased natural ventilation for the building and also provide potential elements for generating energy from wind • Sky central courtyard: not only produce more natural light and ventilation but also more interesting, flexible and desirable working space • Lowering wind load and wind turbulence at both bottom and top parts
Gesture 3: Narrowing top part • Decreased the construction cost and structural load • Thin part increased ratio of surface area to volume, it creates better natural ventilation than deep floor plan • Reduced view obstacle and overshadow for surrounding buildings • Less wind flow obstacle and turbulence (good for sky courtyard) so as to decrease shear force and bending moment • Less spans, less load, less risk • Efficiency of merging programs at top

Gesture Summary Diagram 2
This cutting and narrowing at top are not only influenced by views from river side but also by taking construction cost and structural load into consideration
This atrium on higher level provides potential for wind generating systems or better cross ventilation
This cutout represents the intention of introducing a sky courtyard or atrium on higher levels. Creating more flexible, desirable work space and quality area with better natural light and ventilation among commercial sectors of the tower. Prevailing wind directions and deflections make the form of proposed building changed accordingly. Both the narrowing of top and cutouts are reducing either wind load or wind turbulence surrounding the tower.
Intention of bring more surface for north-east sunlight into the building for both visual and thermal comfort
Extended lower part mitigates the wind turbulence on podium and pedestrain level which brings more comfort for people on these levels
1. Enhanced people movement pathways are creating more opportunity of people engagement and gathering. Also brings great convenience; 2. Quality urban open terrace space for relaxing and entertaining function sectors such as terrace cafe, restaurant or urban garden etc.
Tram
Under bridge area has the worst environmental situations can still be utilized by introducing several rough function area such as bike parking or partial car parking
Entrance level atrium space connecting open terrace area not only embracing the promoted modern urban life but also satisfy certain commercial purposes for the whole proposal.
62
Convenient express pathways connecting the entrance level and ground level for pedestrains and cyclers.. For people engagement, it’s a “icing on the cake�.
Gesture Summary Diagram 3 As north-east morning sunlight is the best daylight we should bring more into the building, the top cutting and main facade direction are determined by it
This cutting and narrowing at top are not only influenced by views for river side but also by taking construction cost and structural load into consideration
Sky atrium for bringing more daylight and natrual ventilation into work space and flexible area
1. Enhanced people movement pathways are creating more opportunity of people engagement and gathering. Also brings great convenience; Urban hotspots like a roof restaurant or garden can be integrated into the sky atrium or podium atrium of proposed tower to form the urban hotspots network
2. Quality urban open terrace space for relaxing and entertaining function sectors such as terrace cafe, restaurant or urban garden etc.
Bottom void space not only for daylight, ventilation, circulation, people engagement but also for mitigating wind turbulence at ground level

Execution and Opportunities Podium extended area with void
Podium Extension Condition 1
Podium Extension Condition 2
Execution: Void at bottom is fairly designed follow the gesture diagram and the overall form. Secondary extended ramps possibility need to be tested and follow relevant requirement. Opportunities: There are various spaces need to be redesigned and allocated since the terrace roof cafe and garden areas won't be easily fitted on the single platform.
67
Execution and Opportunities Podium extended area with void
Execution: Void and Sides of podium are also designed based on the analysis diagram of gestures. The circulation pathways and transparency of material can be two most significant parts in this area. People's feelings towards light, wind and circulation about the site are primary intentions of this part down bottom. Opportunities: As a feedback from mid-semester review, more considerations of people's feeling inside the tunnel at bottom should be taken. It also opens an opportunity of introducting computational strategies to solve such a problem by maybe altering some elements of internal facade or shape of the void etc..

Part 3: Re-evaluation and Modification
71
North Facade Modification
Testing different kinds of shading device for the north facade
72
Evaluating radiation level on the north facade. Geco connecting GH and Ecotect makes the instant data feedback which gives a list of parameter for facade treatment
73
After researching, when dayly peak radiation is less than 3kWh/m2/day, normal tinted glass plus internal louvre are totally enough for office building shading. Therefore, only some bottom parts as illustrated from the diagram need some mesh shading device.
74
Side Facade Modification
For the side facade, 3 design intents need to be fullfill. First is the aerodynamic shape for fluid wind flow around the site so that wind deflection can be reduced. Second, need proper openings for benefitting the building with more natural ventilation. Third, to introduce daylight properly on both low and high level, direction of openings shall be addressed accordingly.
