CRACK

BARLOW MOTORS MADELEINE HODGE TUTOR: LEE-ANN JOY

CONCEPT This project explores the idea of cracking through tessellated patterns created by the façade. Despite a lavish lifestyle, patriarch, Alec Barlow drove his family into bankruptcy. The stress of trying to save his empire saw Barlow crack under the pressure and ultimately he took his own life. This idea of pressure and breakdown was the focus of my project. Like the Barlow family, the site has clear stresses, with it being boxed in by other buildings. This pressure causes cracking throughout the building, mainly on the north to south axis.

INITIAL CONCEPT MODEL

CRACKS IN NATURE

TRIANGULAR GEOMETRY FOUND IN NATURE

L E X U

My initial idea was to create a façade informed by crumpled paper to represent the building being squashed by external forces. This led to exploring form digitally, allowing for standardization and further form finding. To explore the idea of cracking further, I looked into how cracks form in nature. Being an emergent process it appears to be random but occurs as a pattern caused by a series of parameters. An example of this is mud flats, where after the rains the flats dry up in the hot climate and a cracking pattern develops. The parameters for the mud flats could be seen as climate and soil type.

S

SIGNAGE ON NORTH FACADE

To recreate this process, I used the idea of Conway’s Game of Life; a computer game in which the player inputs a series of rules which runs the game. In designing the floor plans I created a set of rules in which triangles, informed by the façade, were placed into a grid. The cracks in between the triangles and the triangles immediately adjacent to them were applied as floor space. The remaining triangles created the voids. Whilst the pattern is tessellated, it changes and adapts according to the rules. This patterning is etched in the floor.
