Peptides (protein fragments)
>> Proteins are formed by a group of bonded amino acids, and can be broken down from cluster to particles of amino acid if bondings disconnect.
Apply changing conditions
>> Protein deforms to amino acids when certain conditions are achieved
>> The model simulated and experimented the changing process of protein. It imitated the deformation in 3 conditions:
>> Adding force and density to popcorns inside a container. changing amount of popcorns or sugar gave different shapes and strength to the cluster.
>> Adding water to a popcorn cluster, the deformation process followed the volume of water applied.
>>Adding heat to a popcorn cluster, the deformation process followed the rises of temperature.
Bio-type
>> The forms of protein in nature are ever-changing.
>> Different enviromental conditions cause various kinds of structures and shapes.
>>Force and density
>>Delution
>>Heat
>>Current or gravity
Conditions Deformation
>>Humidity or landform
>>cliamate or vegetation
Process
>> Observing and analysing a given site context will provide clues for possible form transformation.
>> Site analysis will provide information and data to facilitate digital computation.

>> Moa point was chosen as the specific site to investigate and build model on.
Moa point is a coastal area close to Wellington airport, It includes gentle terrain changes, coastal landform and human factors as well
>> Volume of seawater >> sea level
>> Distribution of plants >> Heat absorption by various landform
>> It includes natural conditions we need to generate protein deformation.
>> We will further divide site to smaller blocks to specify differentiated enviromental information.
>> Site will be divided to blocks for analysing.
>> Only considers some of the most significant environmental conditions of the site. The site analysis will focus on these chosen conditions.
>> In order to explore the computational method of generating forms, site conditions will be consider and digitalized one by one. After achieving a clue of how the form react to each site condition, we will attempt to introduce multiple changed and generate hybrid interpretation.
C>> Change of enviromental conditions will shape the deformation of protein. The site is devided in there rows. Each row has different environmental habitat.
>> The site is divided to 3 rows, each row stands for its own environmental features,
Row C includes large volume of seawater, some reefs and rocks, small area of land. The behavior and volume of sea water is the main feature.
The main feature in B is the change of terrain. Land rises up from below sea level to hillside and then flattens out at the high level.
The uneven distribution of kelp and coastal vegetation characterizes row

>> 3 rows are subdivided to 9 blocks.
>> Each block configures quantified environmental condition individually, as script logics of the computation.

>> Transportation Hub Along Motor Way
>> Render of Model H3- F150
>> Location: Motor way from Moa Point to Airport
>> Moa Point includes a long winding shoreline and is located in the transition zone from the coast to the hills. On the other hand, it is close to Wellington Airport, so it also provides the function of urban transportation hub for both public and logestic use.
>> Architecture needs to react to terrain condition and has ability to change subject to water related scenarios.
>> Enhance digital computation to transform forms of particles to volume, manipulate modelling process to specified concept and strategy.
Meteorite impacts changed the orbit of the moon and created a new order for the planets in the solar system, severely altering Earth’s tides. When water in oceans is held together by the gravitational pull between the planets, the wet season is coming, and on the other side of the earth, it is a dry season. Varieties of plants and animals mutate in varying degrees to adapt to new amphibious life.
The extreme value of sea level change can reach 50 to 100 meters, and the land available for human habitation and use will decrease every time the water season arrives. To accommodate this extreme year-round change, architectures need to provide resilience in use and facilitate transport accessibility. Protein as the bio-type contained in most animals is highly adaptable. below demonstrates how the deformation principle of protein helps development of an amphibious transportation hub.
Add connection to terminals
Transportation hub Fully connected when sea level below ground level
Upper level in use when sea level rises
Each terminal can be usesd individually, lower level is blocked to prevent water intrusion.
