MA THESIS _ REFLECTIONS An Investigation Into the Skin Scheme and Pneumatic Structures Through Parametric Design MA ADDS London Metropolitan University The CASS School of Architecture

By having as framework the Biomimicry, an applied science that derives inspiration for solutions to human problems through the study of natural designs systems and processes, this investigation analyses the scheme of architectural skin. In addition it concentrates towards the properties that alter an architectural surface into a responsive facade.

With the emergence of smart materials, and an elevated interest in utilizing unconventional structural systems and the use of different modes of fabrication, the catalytic parameter of the computational design amplifies this aspect.

This thesis represents an approach of architectural skin systems with a holistic linking of natural mechanisms. The design concept concentrates to the advancement of the inflatable systems, as selforganizational environments. More specifically the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the forces that configure the morphological characteristics of an inflatable skin system, by optimizing its reflective properties, with the ultimate goal to convert it into a solar concentrator.

The design approach utilizes procedures via digital simulations and physical models as a connection of all the aspects of a design characteristic of the genetic parallel. The process of the design concept is illustrated through the use of a particular sort of parametric design software known as Grasshopper with some specific plug-ins, Kangaroo and Geco.

The project concludes by generating a prototype, by using Fuller’s Dymaxion map, as an integral reinforcing structure in the form of an Inflatable skin with emphasis on the process of fabrication.

REFLECTIONS: An Investigation Into the Skin Scheme and Pneumatic Structures through Parametric Design

Hypothesis: This investigation focuses on the inactive gasholders, gasmeters and metal structures that are interspersed across London; remnants of a bygone age, related to the development and the industrialization of the townscape.

In order to optimise the system with an efficient angle in which the cushions will face towards the sun, for a long period (21st of March – 21st of October). For the rotation of the cushions, the ground level is used as reference, with the angle to be 0 degrees. The slope is defined by the angle between this level and the plane of each cushion.

THE URBAN SPACE From the closed to the public scene

National Technical University of Athens, School of Architecture,

B

The urban voids represent the character of the composition of the modern cities. The social micro scale activities are the forefront of the public space of city.

This design project focuses at the centre of the city of Athens, at Psiri area, analysing the public space as to define those elements that contribute at the continuously changing topology of the modern metropolis.

The non-used spaces that are scattered within the urban grid of the city are essentially the parameters with which this work was engaged. These kinds of urban spaces, with an indeterminate identity, can be a catalyst for the revitalization of the townscape. Such spaces can be composed a porous network which it redefines the city typology and stitches the urban fabric by creating organic ties with the users and also by giving a theatrical attribution to the urban landscape.

Solar Decathlon China 2013: SunBloc House

HelioMet team: London Metropolitan University The CASS School of Architecture GAFA team: School of Architecture & Allied Arts at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts

The house has been designed to address the issues facing sustainable urban development and will be constructed using innovative and lowcost, lightweight EPS foam. It is intended that an organic substitute will be used once one is easily available in the construction market.

The house has been designed to adapt to its environment and reclaim unused parts of the city, from disused railways to building rooftops.

The lavish green-wall embedded into the exterior envelope of the house not only adds to urban biodiversity and the re-use of grey-water, but also provides an acoustic and thermal buffer, providing insulation during the cold winter and transpiring the heat of the midday summer sun.

HelioMet also recently exhibited a portion of its design including a section of the Green-wall, during the world’s biggest event for sustainable design in London, construction and the built environment – EcoBuild 2013. During the event, the team gave a number of presentations educating delegates on the details of the design by presenting a real prototype of the green-wall and raised awareness of the many opportunities presented by clean‐energy products and the innovative developments being made in sustainable construction.
