INTRODUCTION

A responsive space that accommodates social activities,congregation and movement, celebrating to the cultural conditions, moment, occasion and needs. Our design aims to bridge the banks and facilitate the activities. From day to day mundane cultural conditions of walking; moving from point A to B, C, D or E. Interconnecting all these points and responding to the manner of movement to enhance fluidity of the flow. To gathering for special occasions to witness the spectacles of an event or to purely inhabit the space within to experience the event. And to have the space dynamically responding to the needs of the users rather than users responding to the predetermined conditions.

Weald and Downland Gridshell
Edward Cullinan| 2002 Singleton|England
A gridshell is a structure with the shape and strength of a double-curvature shell, but made of a grid instead of a solid surface. The grid can be made of any kind of material — steel, aluminium, or even cardboard tubes — but the Downland Gridshell is made of slender oak laths bent into shape. The gridshell is a lightweight structure because of the oak laths. The Downland Gridshell is one of a very small number of gridshell structures in Britain, and its design and method of construction are unique. A very high degree of carpentry skill went into its fabrication, emulating but not imitating the traditional framed buildings at the Museum.
17
Ground and Envelope The site is excavated and reinforced concrete strip foundations are constructed. A basement is built on top of the foundations. The gridshell does not have any connection to the ground as it sits on top of the basement lifted away from it. The fixed edges of the gridshell is connected to the floor slab on sitting above the basement. The floor is cut to shape, covered in waterproof felt and construction board to prevent damage and the ingress of water during construction of the gridshell. 18
Finger joints .
Bending of timber laths.
Flat layout of timber laths.
Material articulation and Inhabitation To prepare the oak laths for use all defects were removed and the resulting pieces fingerjointed together into standard lengths of 20 feet (6m). Six of these pieces were then joined to form 120 foot (36m) laths. The diagonal grid of laths was initially formed flat on top of a supporting scaffold. The edges of the grid were then lowered gradually, and the grid bent into shape, until the full shell was formed and secured to the edges of the timber platform above the basement. 19
Connection of grid laths and floor slab.
Geometric Ruleset and Fabrication
The force of gravity over a period of time deforms the flat grid into this semi-circular form. Scaffolds and jacks are then used to achieved the desired “peanut -like shape�. The laths will then be pinned to the deck and further horizontal laths which will fix the triangulation of the building and provide support for the exterior cladding will be attached. For the upper part of the building vertical laths will fix the triangulation and provide framing for the glazing. 20
Patented node. The clamping assembly consists of a galvanised steel plate with steel pegs protruding on both sides which are inserted into holes drilled into the innermost laths in order to exactly locate the intersection. Plates on either side with four bolts clamp the whole assembly together. The two outer laths are not drilled as they will need to move slightly to accommodate the curvature of the structure.
21
Formation of the Gridshell. The grid is actually a double layer, with two laths in each direction. This is necessary in order to combine the required degree of flexibility with sufficient cross section for strength. A fifth layer triangulates the grid to increase its stiffness. The laths are connected at the nodes of the grid with a patented system of steel plates and bolts. 22
Variation of joint behaviour.

Variation of quadrangle behaviour.
What we uncovered from our precedent were the successful flexible nodes. These nodes allowed rotation and sliding movement along both directions of the lath. These properties of the nodes would allow formation of unconventional geometric from conventional set-ups, the orthodox Cartesian grid in our case. We were keen to take this and develop it in our prototyping stage.

The first few prototypes were unsuccessful as they were unable to reproduce the qualities we were looking for in the nodal system. This produced a lineage of improved prototypes learning from each iterative process. The performance quality we were looking for were the smoothness in rotation and sliding whilst trying to minimize the size of the nodes. This would in turn help us with a greater degree of deformation, while still being controlled, by restricting interference of external and internal factors.

We came upon the sleeve joint system which enabled us to replicate the movement from our precedent. This joint was very generous with degree of freedom of flexibility it gave the lattice structure. So much so that we had to limit its movement and have it under control to produce the desired form.

2.3 RULES AND PROCEDURE
53
RULES AND PROCEDURE 1. Any node can be an anchoring node and/or a pulling node. 2. The depth of space is related to the proximity of an anchoring node and a pulling node. 3. Moving a pulling node towards an anchoring node increases the depth of space, while moving them apart reduces the depth of space. 4. The location of internal space and volumes can be determined by prescribing the location of anchoring nodes and pulling nodes on the lattice structure.
54
Reduced/increased proximity of anchoring and pulling nodes reduces/increases the depth of space.
Depth of space is directly related to the proximity of the anchoring and pulling nodes.

2.5 CONCLUSION
73
HAPTIC MOVEMENT The machine which deforms the lattice is a reflection of dynamic design creating space when it transforms. The idea of the machine is to create a haptic environment where the design responds to human inhabitation. Variable of spaces created to variation of inhabitation conditions. This is our aim to reproduce this in our proposal fro the pavilion. 74

3.1 DESIGN BRIEF The brief calls upon to design a pavilion which responds to the current environmental, natural and social conditions of the chosen site. The pavilion should be demonstrate new ways and ideas of working an making through innovative prototyping. Our proposal reflects the current social conditions through thorough study of the social behavior of the site and in turn enabling us to hopefully enhance the site with our temporary intervention. The intervention developed through the following case studies on the intersection between Elizabeth street and Flinder Street.
79
80
3.2 DESIGN RESPONSE Our interest for the social study lay in the circulation within a site. Our case study was help us understand the behavior and pattern of movement . This understanding would help us set up our cornerstone of our intervention of our intervention. To create a pavilion which embodies novel experience of circulation deferring from static nature of the site.

NATURE OF FOOT TRAFFIC The case study enabled us to produce a diagrammatic representation of the events adding depth to the case study. This allowed us to understand the density of the foot traffic and how it is influenced through different factors.
MORNING 8.15AM
The trajectory of paths shows how there are unused space within the site and how some of the parts are overused. It is influenced by the trail of the leading person. People tend to subconsciously follow the path taken by his/her predecessor. MIDDAY 12.15PM
There are few key moments when the traffic crossover. This intersection of the traffic produces segregation on one side of the flow whilst the other may be resilient and continue through its destination. This retards the speed and direction of the flow of the traffic. Odd circulatory path, the least taken paths, experiences the highest degree of consequences. 96

3.3 SITE CONDITIONS
111
The Princes Bridge Precinct Melbourne is a culturally diverse city. It is a living city that is very accommodating of all its different cultures. A culture of love, dedicated sports, food enthusiast, art, film and so on. A city that celebrates all the occasions of the diversities. The banks along the Yarra river cradles these cultures. Through study and analysis the hotspot of the activity occurs within the perimeter of the Northern and the Southern banks. Our design aims to bridge the banks and facilitate the activities. 112

Production of space.
Discussing the conception and manifestation of space. Threshold in architecture. The ephemeral relational experience between the person and the spatial environment. The transitional phenomena experienced by the person moving in or out of a space (Irigaray 1999). These spaces designed and produced by organised physical gestures. Of which the physical gestures connoting the boundary of the space. Gestures may range from being obvious to very subtle. They may be large cantilevering part of the artefact or a building suggesting an inviting opening and entry into it. Or they may be subtle raise of the floor, ergonometric enough, suggesting to be sat upon depending on the discretion of the user. Or a lowered section of ceiling within a high atrium suggesting a smaller functional space within a larger space. So, where does threshold fit in within these spaces. What is the role of threshold? They are mostly the interstitial spaces created unconsciously the designer. They are significant. It is the intangible space we pass through when we enter the large inviting opening into the building from the outdoors and our brains immediately let us know we are entering a completely different space. Can a space be produced without gestures and thresholds? Yes, but would it not be those spaces engineers create? Imagine a person in a train compartment sat in a modest seat, designed only to suffice the minimum surface area required by buttocks, while trying to avoid eye contact with the other passenger across. Although the space functions how it’s supposed to, it lacks poetry or soul to it. It is cold and calculated. Its inability to be “architecturally” independent envies the lack of care. Or can spaces be those deliberately designed by architects, the voids, devoid of every element that creates any sense of space. But would they not be antispaces the opposite of space, it’s inability to be inhabited to only function as an anti-space (Eisenman 2008). 178
Gestures and threshold are perhaps needed for to create architecturally sound spaces. The challenge is to remove the tangible forms that defines the boundary of the space and replace it with an intangible substitute. Would an infinite or border less space with deep rooted purpose be able to emulate the characteristics of a space without being tangible. Would that not just be consequent of an event? For example, can a professional run and tag in a large open field as far as the eyes can see be a meaningful space. Is there a threshold that aware the players of the spatial playing field? And, would it not be devoid of architectural touch again? Thus, creation of meaningful space requires a certain degree of tangible elements and thresholds. Spatial boundaries of space will always be created. Although the new development in architectural discourse like the conception of the blur project by Diller Scofidio + Renfro challenges the requirement of tangible elements to create space (Diller & Scofidio 2005). The mist created creates the space to be experienced. The mist deprives the sense of vison and allow instincts to navigate the space. The mist defines the boundary and the threshold of the space. The person entering the mist immediately knows when he/she moves in or out of the mist, there is a complete change of spatial and sensory experience. The Jussie Library the Brain child of Koolhaas challenges the conception of space too. Here continuation of space and the idea of threshold is tested. They are an outcome of pragmatic process of layering the floor meticulously which challenges the clear notion system of wall and floors. The library, I do believe that it plays with our visual perception and cognition of space but also engages the user to its space by through novel arrangement of floor levels as a continuous element. The transparency between spaces creates vague boundary between them and this causes disruptions in having a threshold system. A person vaguely feels or knows when entering or exiting a space. 179
Emerging technologies like virtual reality have come a long way. It is recent and have much be used in cinematic productions and in the gaming industry. Garcia (2013 ) discusses the application of it in architecture to experiences it virtually. It caters to our visual sense; it is not tactile nor tangible. These virtually created spaces questions the effectiveness or even the existences of threshold. Do we get the same degree of conscious click in our that we have entered a different realm of space just as we would if it were in real life? The answer I guess can be answered from the similar lineage of use of the technology. We are indifferent to all things virtual although we might be amused while playing a third person computer game. There is that physical disconnection between us and the virtual world disabling us to experience these spaces and knowing the existence of thresholds. The static and the fixed nature of architecture is the greatest impediment to space and in turn threshold. The fixed nature enforces a predetermined boundary of the space while if it was to be dynamic the concept would be challenged. The only way to challenge this fix nature would be the translation of space into air which would both be fluid and without boundary. Thus, If spaces were fluid and be what it wants to be without a restricted boundary and a sense of entering the space would suffice, or partly, answer the question of creation of space by understanding the threshold without having tangible gesture to manifest the boundary.

H.A.R.P. PAVILION This pavilion reacts to the urban patterns of movement, circulation, congregation and occupation, through the responsive formation of haptic space and connections. By responding to how users actually inhabit the city, and not dictating how they should inhabit the city, this project recreates movement and circulation as an architectural event, both on an individual and larger social scale, through the connection of key city nodes, and the creation of new paths and spaces. The project is sited alongside the cities major road bridge which connects the north and south sides of the city; in this case, it is the Princes Bridge in Melbourne, Australia. The pavilion acts as an connector between major urban nodes; creating pathways between the cultural centre of Federation Square, the cities major train station at Flinders Street, an entertainment district Southbank and the Alexandra Gardens, allowing users to move between these key sites and their varying level changes. Through an analysis of movement patterns around the Princes Bridge site, and how these patterns would take form without the constraints of the existing city, a primary structural timber lattice was mapped out in response to the urban patterns. The design of a secondary systema flexible structural layer of carbon fibre and netting- allows the pavilion to both vary its depth and construct new connection with different part of the city. Mapping out this behaviour using a series of sensors, the carbon fibre layers are mechanised to change their pathways and depth of space as the urban behaviour changes; variations in urban patterns directly produce the variations in pavilion behaviour.

MORNING SOCIAL MAPPING
This pavilion reacts to the inhabitation of the city. It is an architectural response to the way in which we move through it, the way we occupy it’s spaces, and the social and personal activities that take place within it. It acts both as an infrastructure and as a stimulator for these social events to occur.

Considering that it was first masters studio, I personally found it difficult adapting to the workload of the studio at the beginning, not that I was thriving at the end of the semester although I did learn to manage it. It did instil a hard working ethic into me through the process of iterative prototyping and refining drawings. To design novel artefacts and limiting ourselves to available standards. To being innovative and be spoking solutions to issues that arose. Experiencing the role os a maker and not holding myself back to being an intangible designer. Making decisions was a challenge for pur design considering the availability of time. Compromising ideas not only due to time but to put conceptual idea into the tangible world. Team work was definitely the best part of the studio although challenging at times when making design decisions but we learnt to agree to disagree. Overall it was mostly positive with each of the member contributing to the design where the other may lacked in knowledge or skill.
