HOW CAN FORM FORM DETERMINE PROGRAMMING?
FORM ALLOWS FREEDOM TO EXPLORE PROGRAMMATIC LAYOUTS WITHOUT REDEFINING ITS SPECIFIC USE. PROGRAMMING INHABITS FORM, AND IT CAN TAKE ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS DEPENDING ON HOW FORM IS QUERIED.

THOUGHTS
WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM YOUR PROJECT?
I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE GENERATIVE PROCESS OF DESIGN AND ITS INTRICACIES. IT HAS CHANGED THE WAY I SEE EVERYDAY OBJECTS AND I SEE OPPORTUNITIES WITH SUCH OBJECTS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS. I ALSO LEARNED TO TAKE A FEW STEPS BACK AND VIEW MY PROJECT AS A WHOLE MORE OFTEN AS YOU CAN GET HUNG UP ON IRRELEVANT DETAILS. MY ABILITY TO PRODUCE MULTIPLE ITERATIONS WITH A HIGHER AMOUNT OF SUPPLEMENTAL DRAWINGS HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AS COMPARED TO STUDIO 1 DUE TO THE CONSTANT EXPECTATION TO PRODUCE A LOT OF DRAWINGS. I KNEW THIS COMING INTO THE STUDIO BECAUSE I WANTED TO BECOME MORE EFFICIENT WITH RHINO.
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS AND INTENTION OF GENERATIVE DESIGN. ONCE I DECIDED TO FIND A NEW OBJECT TO USE, IT WAS A LOT EASIER TO GENERATE A DESIGN FROM IT THAN BEFORE AS I BECAME MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE PROCEDURES BECAUSE I HAD TO DO PHASE I PROCEDURES AGAIN. MOMENTS OF DISCOVERY ARE CRUCIAL AND IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THOSE MOMENTS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NEVER TRY TO TAKE FULL CONTROL OF THE RESULTING MASSING AS IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE QUALITIES THAT CAN BE REVEALED THROUGH ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY. THE MOMENTS WHERE I BROKE AWAY FROM TRYING TO TAKE FULL CONTROL OF THE GENERATIVE PROCEDURES WAS ABLE TO DISCOVER COMPELLING GEOMETRIES.
WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING DURING THE TERM WHILE YOU WERE IMMERSED IN IT?
I BELIEVED I WAS PRODUCING INTERESTING GEOMETRIES MOST OF THE TIME BUT WAS MET WITH OPPOSING THOUGHTS DURING THE BEGINNING AND MIDDLE OF EACH PHASE. EACH CRIT AND PHASE REVIEW I APPLIED THE FEEDBACK INTO MY DESIGN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ACTUALLY DID DURING THE TERM NOW THAT IT’S OVER AND YOU HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE?
I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AND PREDICT THE OUTCOME OF THE MANIPULATIVE PROCEDURES WITH THE OBJECTS. I WAS LESS FOCUSED ON THE DISCOVERY ASPECT AND IT ENDED UP HINDERING MY ABILITIES TO REVEAL STRONGER QUALITIES THROUGH THE PROCEDURES. I TRULY BELIEVED I WAS PRODUCING INTERESTING FORMS BUT LOOKING AT IT NOW, I REALLY WASN’T MOST OF THE TIME. ESPECIALLY THE START OF PHASE II AND DURING MID PHASE II REVIEW.
ARE THERE PROBLEMS THAT YOU DISCOVERED DURING THE TERM THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE INVESTIGATING THROUGH YOUR FUTURE PROJECTS?
I FOUND THERE TO BE PROBLEMS WITH THE WAY I GENERATED APERTURE AND THE WAY I PROJECTED LINES FROM OTHER AREAS INTO THE PLANS. THE SIMPLE EXTRUSIONS OF PROFILES FOR THE LIGHT WELLS PRODUCED WEAKER RESULTS WHEN SUBTRACTED FROM THE MASSING. THE WAY THAT THE LINES WERE PROJECTED ONTO THE EXTERIOR SHELL WERE MORE INTENTIONAL THAN ACCIDENTAL. EVEN THOUGH THE LINES WERE TAKEN FROM OTHER AREAS OF THE MASSING IT WAS ALLOCATED IN A WAY WHERE I WANTED THE OPENINGS. I HOPE TO TAKE THE PROCESSES I’VE LEARNED FROM THIS STUDIO AND APPLY IT TO THE NEXT STUDIO IN HOPES TO FURTHER DEVELOP MY SKILL SET IN GENERATIVE DESIGN.
ANOTHER PROBLEMATIC AREA WAS THE NEED TO CREATE OPEN FLOOR PLANS AS IT WAS WHAT I WAS FAMILIAR WITH. I SHOULD HAVE LET THE GEOMETRY DICTATE THE SPATIAL QUALITIES A BIT MORE THAN MY DESIRE TO TAKE GEOMETRY AWAY TO CLEAR AN AREA. THE CIRCULATION GEOMETRY WAS PRODUCED FROM MY INITIAL OBJECT, THE STEPPING STOOL, WHICH PROVED TO HINDER THE VERTICAL MOVEMENT THROUGHOUT MY MASSING. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPERIMENT MORE WITH PRODUCING FORMALLY DIFFERENT CIRCULATION THAT STRAYS AWAY FROM DISTINCT VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL MOVEMENTS AS IT RESEMBLES VERNACULAR.
