Individual Form Finding Exercise- Passage design with entrance and exit Methodology - Metal Mesh with 5mm grid Structure 1
Structure 2
To test my first idea of active bending gridshell, I was Starting with 1m x 1m square grid to generate the symmetrical form, with same opening shape for entrance and exit. At the same time to create another entrance for passenger. The form was generated by pushing the anchor points inward to see the outcome of the overall form.
My second idea on active bending gridshell is to create different openings by changing the flat shape. Therefore, I rotate the base grid to 45 degree angle and design the openings at diagonal direction. I also want to create different opening for entrance and exit and small opening entrance for passengers as well.
Some further thoughts: A f te r t h e fe e d b a c k from tutors, the gridshell can not have 'flex point' where the bending moment is changed. This will results in the potential structural weak point. 6
