A curve is used to modify the aperture sizes by modifying the control points based on the angle of the facade to EW. The curve acts like the skirt of a curtain, the lower the curve, the smaller the apertures. Panels 4,7,8 in blue are most EW facing hence they have the smallest apertures.

Typical NS Facades are exposed to 12 hours of direct sunlight every half a year in the tropics. Hence, by extending shading devices to cut off the 50-90° solar insolation, the solar heat gains can be reduced by 50%
30°
Typical EW Facades are esposed to 7 hours of direct sunlight all year round in the tropics. They experience a net 2 hour more direct solar insolation per annum. It is harder to shade these facades due to the peak solar insolation occuring during low solar elevations. External louvres help to dissipate heat as well as cut off direct solar insolation.

Grasshopper for Rhino was used in the initial phases of design to obtain generative designs based on certain inputs. For the project the circulation input was designed such that the building would be informed by the resultant circulatory networks at the different levels of the building. A rational grid was used to constrain the built form to a certain dimension to give rise to a bi directional building. REGULAR GRID

Ground circulation is thought of as a force and modeled as a force. It is thought of to represent the directionality of peoples’ movement. It is a way to understand the operation of people in a single direction and to anticipate the built form that arises from such an assumption. The circulation iterations give rise to complex networks of force flow that correlates to the motion of people. This translates to the porosity seen at all levels in plan and in section.

The proposal questions the intention of fabrication laboratories and the meaning of an extension to supplement the existing one on site. The shed like design perpetuates a sense of familiarity and icon o f t h e f a b r i c a t i o n l a b o r a t o r y. Wi t h t h e u n d u l a t i o n s i n t h e ro o f, it signifies a force of change from the original extension, an exhibition and design space amongst its fabrication space counterparts.
