The site will be New York City’s first true 21st century intermodal transportation hub - where bicycles, buses, the subway and water transportation intersect with cultural offerings in a singular expression of daring but lyrical design - and will convert an intersection traveled by more than 150,000 residents and visitors daily into Lower Manhattan’s newest and most dynamic destination for cultural activity, entertainment, and enjoyment.The Plein & Pavilion project was conceived by the Battery Conservancy to create an extraordinary ‘outdoor living room’ for spontaneous and scheduled activities, public markets, seating and shade, and a gleaming white, state-of-the-art pavilion for visitor information and delicious locally grown gourmet food. This highly sculptural pavilion stands as a gateway to the Battery’s park and waterfront, with an expressive, undulating roofline and curving walls; a compact little building with the authority of a major landmark, evoking a flower opening to its surroundings.this project can be related to our major project in terms of context because it involves outdoor living, visitors and acts like a landmark for its surrounding.Also Whyndham council requires an installation to be literal or didactic in its references, as it may capture a more abstract,aspirational intent and feeling. However, it should aim to be accessible to a wide public and should explore place making aspects and qualities. therefore this project relates to the brief in someways.

Swarm Urbanism Zhaochen Wang
The project is an investigation of swarm intelligence and slime mould and its translation into urban and architectural design. The site is located in Kiruna in the northern part of Sweden. The project creates an architecture which aims to create a half urban and half nature prototype space which could be covered by temperature sensitive glass that adjusts to light and wind. The project explores the relationship between people and urban design with an adaptive project that responds to external and internal stimuli. The building appears as a dynamic surface that changes color in real time according to specific requirements. this project relates to the major gateway project in a way connecting the people to the architecture of the gateway and urban design. also how they respond to external and internal stimuli. the use of temperatue sentsitive glass which changes its colour according to the changing weather and temperature condition is very interesting and can be used in the gateway project because colour always plays an important part when it comes to eye catching, welcoming or distant seeing. The wyndham project can be related to the this project in terms of urban design, how the princes freeway connects the urban melbourne city to Werribee, also the creation of the gateway keeping in mind both nature and urban design.

Phare Tower
Attractor – Changing the face of Belgrade’s historical core EXE Studio
Morphosis Architects
Drawing on the power of parametric scripting, the design of the Phare Tower gathers disparate programmatic, physical, and infrastructural elements from the requirements of the building and its surrounding context, and synthesizes these into a form that seamlessly integrates the building into the idiosyncrasies of its site while expressing multiple flows of movement. In the spirit of the Paris Exposition competition proposals, the tower embodies state-of-the-art technological advances to become a cultural landmark. The complex structure and skin adapt to the tower’s nonstandard form while simultaneously responding to a range of complex, and often competing, physical and environmental considerations. Technologies integrated into the Phare Tower capture the wind for the production of energy and selectively minimize solar gain while maximizing glare-free daylight. Its high-performance skin transforms with changes in light, becoming opaque, translucent, or transparent from different angles and vantage points.

Both the form and the orientation of the building respond to the path of the sun; the south façade’s curvilinear double skin minimizes heat gain and glare, while the flat, clear-glazed north façade maximizes interior exposures to year-round natural daylight. There is emmense use of contemporary computational design techniques in the designing of the tower which we can integrated in our expression of interest

The Attractor is an Interactive Youth Center designed by Belgrade-based Exe Studio. Its conceptual origins are related to the need for diversification of activities within the city core. By using computational design techniques and achieving various degrees of structural and visual porosity, the project explores ways of contextualizing the contemporary design in an environment dominated by historical buildings. It offers, both programmatically and formally, a variety of spaces for public gatherings. The Attractor has several aspects, which allow non-uniform utilization: interior space facilitates cultural activities and information posts, while the open public space comprises an amphitheater and a green area, an urban oasis within Belgrade’s nucleus. A segment of the structure forms a canopy, which protects the street and preserves its values. The idea was to overcome some of the problems of the city by accentuating its cultural content. Here occurs the necessity for correlating existing structures and the contemporary need for public spaces. The aim was to create a valuable place for urban rest, communication and various activities. The chosen downtown site, located nearby Knez Mihajlova Street, is part of the main pedestrian area within the city core. The project establishes itself as an urban magnet, a center of attraction within the urban fabric.
contemporary scripting- programming cultures
On the surface, productivity and control seem like utilitarian motivations to script, especially when compared to the writing normally associated with scripting: chest thumping proclamations of new paradigms footnoted with references towards incomprehensible continental philosophy. In place of these typical grandiose proclamations is a very honest assessment of how scripting can be applied to the design process. Burry argues scripting as “an essential component of 21stcentury design education.” Scripting cultures – Mark Burry
(n)arcissus SOFTlab
“(n)arcissus” is a site-specific spatial intervention in the stairwell of the Frankfurter Kunstverein, an artificial skin that drops down through the vertical space using gravity as a principle. By designing the form as a parametric model SOFTlab are able to manipulate the formal qualities of the final output while simultaneously optimizing it for physical construction. Their script breaks the surface down into individual surfaces for laser cutting, producing the unique modules needed to produce the larger structure. The installation is 9 meters tall and is supported by two metal rings. One at the top of the stairwell and one attached to the lobby ceiling. The form of the piece is controlled by over 1000 It is not until the viewer enters the piece custom panels and the 2 rings. The skin of on the lobby or ascends the stairs that the piece is made of three layers of Mylar. The the extent of the piece is revealed. Both shape of the panels changes from a square to experiences are radically different due to an x shape based on the position of the panel the double skin.

RIVER ARCHITECTURE
PRECEDENT: This project was developed for a competittion organised by architectural agency Arquitetum, called London 2008,by a team of Brazilian architects. The brief was to deisign a mobile architecture gallery which could travel along a river .The inspiration of this project is took from nature, the river flow. The innovation of this project is using the parametric design method to create the entire curving structure with the natural ambians -The constant lightness,transparency and visual permeability enable a relationship with the city through out the course of the river. -A winding and fluid space allows individual events,creates different environment. -dynamics of the city and expresses unpredictability of human occupation.
PROJECT: Our inspiration is about nature river landscape . We choose BAMQ restaurant case study as the starting point, then derived the werribee river flow data and developed it into our model shape. Relate to gateway project,the reason we do this is because -Werribee river is the important heritage of wyndham city -The river intimately connect the nature and landscape, -It is the demonstration of the landscape flow. Requirements: -is seeking a documentation of an exciing ,eye cathching installation at the Wyndham’s Wesern Gateway --offers a high exposure location to those entering the urban precinct of the municipality -inspires and enriches the municipality. -need to be significantly -enable to blend into surrounding landscape.
