Hello & Welcome

he project aims to erase the boundry of the reality and the fiction. How the user experieence can be changed by the means of experimental fimlic mesh imbided with physical fabricated model.

How could we encapulate our self into this new realm and free our self from the human constraints. The new dimension is the output of our curation. The process for the starts from a simple aggregation which passes through a grasshopper script to generarate a new complex simulation. The final scaffolding is combined with a filmic mesh which is experienced through the hololens. This experiment questions the present and opens new realms for future. It generates and make us curious about the augmented reality experiment in the construction industry. How could we take this experiment forward into our industry is the question that originates at the end of this unit!

Final Aggregation

REFLECTION As a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student from studio D and having studied bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from India, I have learned different design process. During these 12 days, I have gained knowledge about a new realm. While learning from Sean and Melissa, our tutor, I have learned a new technique of aggregation and virtual reality.

Moreover, I have selected the unit synecdoche because the subject tries to fathom the relationship between the virtual and the physical with the aspiration to make the scaffolding sculpture and a virtual experience of the same. Moreover, the unit allowed me to work at 1:1 scale to build the scaffolding with the help of software like rhino, grasshopper and tools like hololens and carpentry tools. Hololens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mixed reality experience expands the reality into virtual imaginary world. I have learned during the process that how one simple rule of L-System generates complex output from smaller components. Design itself began with the curation of such different L-systems which generated many outputs and all of the outputs were remarkably significant from each other having its own personal identity in terms of three-dimensionality. Also conditional rules in L-system were applied to stop the repetitiveness of the pattern created. Furthermore, a resembling output to the fabricate-able model was generated with the help of grasshopper simulation. The field simulation generates complexity and uniqueness. It is a transformation from the skeleton into a mass-customized kit of a parts. By making many aggregations, I have learned to analyses them by the means of three dimensionality and composition relationship coming from the grasshopper simulation. Also, from the deconstruction of the film scenes which becomes the experiential aspect, I have learned that how a physical model can be experienced in a different manner. This augmented reality is mixture of both the mesh and the aggregation and the hololens is the platform into the new experiential dimension. And the best part about the studio was fabrication of the scaffolding. The hololens allows to save the time during the building. The main strength of the unit is that it uses various digital design tools to evolve the understanding of the same and the application of it to produce highly iterative models. Moreover, the wood which is used for the scaffolding is of scrap recycle material, which was unique shape, size and color which is sustainable approach of making. The unit explored the threshold of the virtual and the physical. It re-examined the possibilities of form generation and architectural representation as an experiential performance. The unit showed that how emerging technologies, such as high-resolution 3D scanning and photogrammetry, provide access to formalize the complexity of the aggregation. It valued the scenographic strategies and cinema within the architectural realm. There is however a potential to the project if it was developed further as an aggregation. And also, as of now the hololens lacks in terms of accuracy and clarity of visual experience. As this was an experiment into it, it has great opportunities for the future. And for the fabrication, as just domino joint were used, which made the structure unstable, other joineries could have been explored. The opportunities that arises from the usage of such technology can be used in architectural discourse such as hololens can be used to see the details of complex construction details without looking at the two-dimensional drawings. As with the help of hololens the details can be zoomed in-out and rotated, it shows a great potential in this industry. Also, the mixed reality experience can be used in museums for the interactive environment. I know that my knowledge in these kinds of digital techniques is not much. This experience has broadened my thinking into new wider scope. Hence, this subject has helped to move forward towards new questions rather than answers to make me more curious about the future of the architecture.
