n-hair experiments

nHair simulation in Maya is used to generate a network of curves which resembles minimal detoured pathways. Various parameters influence its behaviour and modifying them could result in a variation of results.

Academic work - GreenWharf Masterplan 19

Urban design explorations

Curves from different test variations were extracted and a combination of it forms the base circulation grid for the site plan. Also modifying the initial output to comply with functions and requirements for plots. The curves are used as roads connecting the site with the main road and establishing internal circulation within the site with respect to the context of the site.

Urban design strategy

As it develops, Green Wharf can provide from 200 to 650 living units with a variety of housing schemes, such as co-living and private houses. These living units can be bought or rented, catering to people of all ages and incomes. As London goes through changes, Green Wharf intends to grow and change along with it.

Process

The brief was to create a pavilion that could serve as a public space predominately for use by the local community and house a variety of activities like Gatherings: meetings, events, celebrations, sharing, talking Performances: plays, dance, music Workshops: on various disciplines from sculpture to yoga, writing, etc.

Module development

Space development

Concept

A module derived from analyzing gothic cathedrals is used for the configuration of space. The pavilion is designed in context to human scale which can perform as a social interaction space, an exhibition area, or could cater to similar functions. The design is achieved by combining four modules into a grid and connecting the edges between them. Following the same design language, a second floor is added with different heights.

Section

Typical sections of the student hostels are oriented towards the inner courtyards encouraging social interactions. Student hostels include facilities like gyms and common halls within the building.

Aim

Establishing a connection between small fragmented open spaces. Enhancing the imageability of the streets and encouraging pedestrian tourist flow on the streets.

Proposal

The architectural style relates to the existing site context and follows a traditional approach.

Tourist pause-point

Community space

Masterplan

Redefining edges and nodes to establish permanency in design because open spaces if not defined properly are vulnerable to displacement by other uses. To formalize the existing fragmented vegetable and fruit shops into hawkers market with multipurpose nature of accommodating workshops, training, awareness camps, etc.
