Our group has decided the “sectioning” as material system and will be using “Banq restaurant - office dA” as our precedent project. Banq restaurant by office dA, is located at Boston, MA, USA. The restaurant features contour like sectioning of material system, that is constructed with wood slats. The main purpose of this contours are to conceal the mechanical, plumbing and lighting system on longitudinal axis and provide aesthetics to users. What i was inspired with this architecture was how this kind of structure could provide different impressions at different view point.
Longitudinally, parallel to the structure, it is possible to experience the seamless contours that continues from the start to end drawing out its presence at the place. On the other hand, looking at the structure perpendicularly, with incorporation of change in amplification, where some of them actually works as structural component like column, it appears as if the ceiling is dripping or flowing on to the ground producing very interesting design. It was very inspiring the way design is part of structure and working with it and broaden the opportunities and my understanding of design that also to work with surroundings, not only by itself.
The algorithmic part of this design really is just a some contour lines with changes in amplification or some more of variation within. However, just like i have said above, and just like the Banq restaurant there are infinite possibilities and opportunities. It comes through the benefits of computation, such as being able to produce a complex design within short time frame, which enables the design to develop as it is possible to play around with the contours, altering its shape, direction, amplification, beyond its limit,
and most importantly a oppotunity to work with and in of the design and the place, which broaden its potential and possibilities, thus to forming matrix. In terms of fabrication, it could be simple job to fabricate, but having it to be spaced perfectly could be a problem or use of weak and light weighted materials, such as card board, paper, and so on, may result in bulking, bending of the design that will alter and change the idea behind and result in different, in failure way, final fabrication.

1. Simple and yet having elegance in form was created through several iterations of original species. Simple patterns of small bumps may not appear to be dynamic or inspiring, but it is not only the complex or extraordinary design that will always be beautiful. The simplicity of the design with flow of waves, resembles natural landscape suggesting me to look back and reflect upon simple and yet beautiful natural landscape, thus the surrounding environments. Therefore potentially creating some specific spatial experiences such as large open communal area where individuals can connect with nature.
2. Utilizing series of horizontal sections and with height restrain, it has produced an interesting spatial layout as shown in selection 2. This restrain in height has formed an interesting shapes, that resembles series of valleys which results in combination of void and solid spaces where it can potentially be used for creating circulation of movement for individuals passing through the model, as well as the dynamic appearance of “valleies� could reflect upon materiality to produce interesting natural experience within the site. These qualities may interest individuals and attract more paticipants thus chosen as one of 4 selection.
3. Dominance of strong central wave and gentler waves around the it creates a interesting dynamic flow from wave to wave which appears to be similar to blossom, becoming very sculptural form. Although it may appear simple, when it compare to other iteration, but its neat and smooth flow adds elegance to the design signifying the interesting sculptural aesthetics. It is highly noticeable the sectioning lines intercepting at the centre, which broadens possibility for the design to produce various spatial experience such as presence of void and solid creating different zones of spaces, communal or private, or its potential to have bit of surprises for it to have different experiences from approach to passing through the interception having it feel discontinuous and yet possible to identify the flow beyond. Furthermore various different techniques of solar could be applied as it does not interfere with other surfaces. Also possible development potential to incorporate kinetic energy movement, just like in ---- but having it to move with human activity, not wind.
4. It may look alike with the first selection, this component has created better dynamic flow and sulptural form through manipulation of amplification component. The dominance of gentle flow sections maybe not be very innovative, but the quality of the orientation of the design, seamly upside down and the little varing bumps produces interesting dynamic movement of voide and solid which possibility allow for communal or private reflection areas.
