DESIGN CONCEPT


1.0 Part B Feedback

The feedback from Part B are as follows: 1. Improve the design concept and alter the way the accessory attach the Cabanon 2. Different elements of components should relate to qualities of the chosen product 3. Keep testing more tab joints 4. More structural design 5. Try to combine tessellation with patterning

ructure for Vidy Theater stopher Robeller Lausanne 2016

In folded plate structure, several beams that function as slabs or panels were combined as an interdependent system, whereas the connections along the edges play an especially important role. These traditional connections used the form of the building component itself to transfer loads. It is noticeable that this structure doesn’t include any extra connect such as bolt or screw, and it is self-supporting.


Producet & Concept


We believe that people has differnent levels of vanity and they are longing for others’ admiration and acknowledge. We call it the human’s natural desire. Also, people judge others from the appearance, look and lifestyle. People purchase products sold by luxury brand not always because they need it or like it but they use it to show off . Those products are the best way to declare one’s wealth and status. Our partner, Versace, is one of those luxury brands. So we create this collaboration that satisfy the one’s desire to dispaly their luxurious lifestyle. However our target customer is the ordinary, and we aim to produce mass manufactured product taht everyone can afford it. Not everyone has a luxurious lifestyle, so we assume that their taste is affected by celebrities who is popular and influential so far.

Selected Outcome 3

This throne -like form is very provoking, however, it is not feasible to fabricate due to its complexity and wide overhang. Also, from top it looks dominateing the host of the site instead of the Cabanon to be.

Shading Privacy Attractiveness Domination Complexity This iteration are created to suround the whole house, covering all the windows, providing a good protection for the privacy. Overall, the form is imtersting and dynamics. So we choose it as our final design.

TECTONIC EL


LEMENTS & PROTOTYPES


Prototype 1

Material: Boxboard Joint Type: Baroque Ornamnet

Rigidity Flexibility Aesthetics

In prototype 1, we used boxboard as material. In order to optimize the rigidity and flexibility of connection between tabs, we have explored a variety of shape of tab and material. We experimented four different baroque floral ornament. Unexpectedly, the cost is massive and we cannot afford it. Also, it doesn’t reflect the quality of Versace shoes.


Prototype 2

Material: MDF Joint Type: Pincers

Rigidity Flexibility Aesthetics

Regarding aesthetics, MDF reaches a high level, but the joints are very rigid, which doesn’t allow any flexibility. Initially, we hope light are allowed to across the holes between tab, but is unrealistic in MDF.


Prototype 3

This prototype is successful in having adaptable system. Tabs is good in serving as connection as well as decorative, but easy to fall off . The boxboard is lack of thickness which give rise to less stability. It is hardly capable of self supporting.v

Material: Boxboard Joint Type: Pincers Panel: Triangle

Rigidity Flexibility Aesthetics


Prototype 4

Material: Mount Board Joint Type: Versace pattern Panel: Triangle

Rigidity Flexibility Aesthetics

Inspired by folded plate structure. Compared to the prototype 3, we adopt mount board instead of box board. Definitely, the weakness of boxboard are eliminated. Through testing we successfully achieve a higher level of rigidity.


Material: Mount Board Joint Type: Mushroom

Rigidity Flexibility Aesthetics

This time we adopt cable tie that is strong and effective to connect adjacent panels together. Inspired by the precedent- Butterfly Effect Pavilion though, the simple mushroom like tabs doesn’t reflect the quality of Versace shoes either. Mushroom tabs interlock effectively, but they don’t reflect the qualities of Versace.

Prototype 5


Prototype 6

Material: Mount Board Joint Type: Versace Pattern

Rigidity Flexibility Aesthetics

In prototype 4, we used shoe lace to mimic the visual effect of Versace shoes. Also, we add holes on the panel to increase the opportunities sunlight go through. For tabs, Versace classic pattern is simple and representative.

Design Concept People usually get admiration from others. One’s lifestyle are able to declare the social status and wealth. So we’d like to create a canopy for Cabanon to display the owner’s lifestyle in order to attract others’ affection.

Non-monotonous Opening The surface has non-monotonous opening on it. We use attractor point to distribute holes with different sizes (fig.1). Large holes locate at bottom, which allows people to see what is inside, but the large panel block people’s view when their curiosity is aroused. Thus, they are unconsciously attracted to the Cabanon.

Expandability The surface is to be extended outside of the Cabanon to the Luxurious lifestyleunderneath. Inspired by the Japanese fan, we create the surface to be expandable depending on your need. It’s up to you to decide the area it can shelter. Fold it when you want to enjoy the view of surroundings, or expand it when you more space. We experiment the folding strength in Kangaroo (fig.2), and try to simulate the model reality. In addition, the surface is also bendable (fig.3) as we have plan to use bendable steel rod go throught each panel.

Material People usually get admiration from others. One’s lifestyle are able to declare the social status and wealth. So we’d like to create a canopy for Cabanon to display the owner’s lifestyle in order to attract others’ affection.

2.0 Final Model

Le Corbusier’s Cabanon looks simple and rustic, as it was designed as an escape away from city life. It is not difficult to understand that rich people are tired of their business life in CBD sometimes, and they are eager to live at a peaceful place and have a short break. So we are interested in creating a canopy as an extension of the Cabanon, which brings the rich people familiar lifestyle in a tranquil environment. We’d also like to create a contrast between the Cabanon and our canopy. They exist individually but are reciprocal. Cabanon are made of wood, so we use high-end material to contrast with the Cabanon. Also, we try to simplify the design of the canopy in order to praise the valuable design of the Cabanon. The canopy is the reverse of Cabanon, to some extent. At phase 2, we improve a lot in different aspects. Firstly, the surface start from side and go through the roof, and then expand to be a canopy above the front door. Secondly, the panels are changed from rectangle to triangle. Through visual effect testing we found that triangle panel are more artistic. Moreover, we set the canopy free from the shoe lace. Furthermore, we arrange the holes in an justified order.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES

Objective 1. Interrogating a brief From Part C I learned that though new ideas keep popping out mind, it is more important to adhere to one idea and make it perfect. During part C, we change our concept several times even there are only three days prior to presentation, which give rise to the design likes semi-finished product. Honestly, this is my pity.

Objective 2. Generating various design possibilities Based on grasshopper, we also tried a couple of plugins such as Kangaroo for form finding. We benefit from unexpected outcomes even through simply manipulating the slider, as it is possible to get an ideal result by altering only one number. A variety of iterations are generated so that we got opportunities to evaluate each outcome and select the best one.

Objective 3. There-dimensional-media skills Every digital model is expected to be materialized in reality. From design to fabrication, there-dimensional media is being extensively used at every stage. During the process of fabrication, we rely on the laser cuter that bring us the fine and clean edges which is impossible to make by hand cutting.


Objective 4. Air and architecture

In Studio Air, the theme is to create exists in reality. Meanwhile, it will be built in Merri Creek where close to us. The design should be consistent with the surrounding environment. So, we got the opportunities to visit the assigned site, and conduct a site analysis for developing the design concepts.

Objective 5. Ability to make a case

We are required to draw the diagrams to illustrate our design for every presentation. We gradually understand that “Diagrams speak “. More importantly, model is the major spokesman of the design, as not everyone understands the design like what the designer does. Thus, generating the proper illustrations improve the effectiveness of communication between architects and their client.

Objective n. Working as a group The best gain besides architectural skills is the time when I work with my groupmates. I really appreciate the help they give to me. Their hard working and passion to architecture motivate to step towards a higher level. Thank you.
