WALL The first section is open on the west side, giving the driver a glimpse of Wydham before entering the gateway
An overhead roof in the middle section to intensify the experience of the gateway through encapsulation
NOTE: 100 mm steel bar will run through along each longitudinal panel, welded to a steel plate in the foundation, embedded in a strip concrete footing.
The third section opens up the driver as he approaches Wyndham/Melbourne
METAL PANEL
Grasshopper definitions are then used to generate jagged iterations onn the form. Moving the slider changes the number of rectangles per panel and the number of panels per ground area.
The progression of the form follows the concept of open-close-open.
Light receds as driver exits the gateway, signifying the end of the hateway experience
Panels of different numbers shows the changing shapes of the form as one progresses along the gateway. The position and affect of lights depends on the form of the panel.
PANEL 231 Light reflected on nearby metal panel reduces glare
The form is twisted in earlier processes to experiment with the fluidity of the form
Direct light facing the driver
