H ere in this design, I was experimenting with the shapes uses and tried to make a vertically designed shape using the same theme me to create new ideas that I could use as my own to enhance my designs

Here ismy first model based on my primary research, it is positionedto form sharper anglesbetween each (piece highlightedabove) in my eyes I it remindsme of an open triangle/"V" shape

Throughoutthe page I havealso includedarundown of my models with 2D drawingsto show you the correlation between my primary research pictures, drawings and break downs

From my firstmodel I broke it down,rearranged and added new components to it to make a new form. On top of experimentingnew material. You can see the developmentasthe new piece isa "V" shape. The steel wire elevatesthewooden beam to add volume.Thebeam is nearlyat a 45-degree angleand makesthe model slightlyamore complicated form. Very straight and linear

From my second model I have rearranged the3 wooden beams to form anothertrianglefrom the plan view.I havealsoadded anothermetal “V” beam to my model furtheringmy developmentof usingmixed materials

This is the Educatorium building based in Utrecht, Netherlands. Like the source of my inspiration for my first solution this buildings overall shape is very linear. However, what I like about this building is how they have incorporated a curve towards the end of the university. I believe it makesthe building standout. In the next slide ill proceed to tweak my solution

This is my developed solution inspired by my secondary research. I removed the beams and instead have added a new area

Wooden model 2

Primary Research

I was quite intrigued with this model as each component is linear but when joined together the final form is in fact fluid. I like that it was structure to fit both demographics as it suits both sides of my briefs theme it is both simple and complex

Here ismy second model based on primary research. It is linearyet followsafluiddirection.I believeit

Throughoutthe page I havealso includeda rundown ofmy modelswith 2D drawingsto show you the correlation between my primary research pictures, drawingsand break downs

From my firstmodel I haven'taltered or made anysignificanttweaks to my model all I havedone is proceeded to rotated my toothpick model 90 degreesclockwiseto create a "C"shape

From my second model I have rearranged thewooden beams by rotating it another 90 degrees

This is my developed solution inspired by my secondary research. I have made the structure more compact and emphasised there be 2 peak points in height just like the Shoreditch pavilion

Here isa simple breakdown of howa streamline is a path traced outby a masslessparticle asit moveswith the flow. The streamline flows around the objectjust howit has with the McLaren P1 often creating an arc shape with softer objects

The McLaren P1 is a limited-production midengine plug-in hybrid sportscar producedby British automobile manufacturer McLaren Automotive Debuted atthe 2012Paris Motor Show. I decided to research into the conceptsof aerodynamicswith the Mcleran p1to give me inspiration to develop an exterior. The breakdown of air flow will hopefully give structure to whatever Imake

From the streamline aerodynamics of the McLaren p1 I have created an interesting interior space

Here is a more relaxed approach at creating an interior space

Here are 3 different variations of simple paper models based on the streamlined aerodynamics. The overlapping characteristics are these models' central idea. You can also pick up all apart from one are all moving symmetrically in the same direction. There are also parallel. The odd model in the middle row contrasts from the other two as it crosses over each piece. I find this interesting as all each piece has their own separate flow. Which makes this model in particular abstract to the reoccurring theme
