CONCEPT IDEATION

CONCEPT 1 NICOLE FARNELL

The above concept uses a single column structure alike the origami pavilion to create a shelter at the rear courtyard of the building. This extension could allow for student to sit outside and work or have lunch. This structure uses triangular panels to construct its form.

This concept uses the same twisting movement of the rose pavilion however uses separate pieces that also twist around the rear of the building. An addition of seats have been added to create a meeting spot to work or have lunch.

CONCEPT 3 NICOLE FARNELL

The above concept uses triangular panels to construct its form whilst using a single column structure alike the origami pavilion to create a shelter at the rear courtyard of the building. This extension could allow for student to sit outside and work or have lunch.

CONCEPT 4

NICOLE FARNELL

The above concept uses a single column structure alike the origami pavilion to create a shelter at the rear courtyard of the building. This extension could allow for student to sit outside and work or have lunch. This structure uses quadrilateral panels to construct its form.

This concept uses ideas from the origami pavilion, using the large, hollow columns to create structure, whilst being both practical and aesthetically appealing. The design focuses on the flow of water off the roof of the building and catches the water in a tank at the bottom below the seating.

CONCEPT 6

NICOLE FARNELL

This abstract concept uses similar design and construction methods as the precedent studies however needs an internal structural frame to hold itself above the front entrance to the building. The structure creates an exotic entrance which engage and welcome people to the building.

CONCEPT 7

NICOLE FARNELL

The above concept uses a single column structure alike the origami pavilion to create a shelter at the rear courtyard of the building. This extension could allow for student to sit outside and work or have lunch. This structure uses quadrilateral panels to construct its form, whilst also creating a linear flow of joins.

CONCEPT 8

NICOLE FARNELL

This idea uses the existing roof structure and brings it down to a point in front of the building. This creates a verandah as well as an opportunity to add a drainage pipe to the end creating an aesthetic feature which is also practical.

CONCEPT 9

KAITLYN MCNAUGHTON

This concept involves a structure that connects to the rear of the building and interacts with the gutters allowing water to flow into the pond below. The twisted design creates a seat using geometric angles, curving around keeping people on one side, closer to the building.

CONCEPT 10

KAITLYN MCNAUGHTON

This concept is located at the rear of the building, featuring a twisting wall which wraps around to create a sitting area. Perforations have been used to capture and direct light whilst also playing with light and shadow throughout the day.

CONCEPT 11

NICOLE FARNELL

This idea follows the structural shape of the origami pavilion from our precedent studies. We have taken the basic shape but allowed a roof and gutter connection to hide the existing plumbing within the columns. This adds a flow off the roof in its shape as well as through water and panels which extend down the columns. This structure was added to the front of the building to create a verandah and exotic entrance whilst also using the existing 3 rooflines of the building.

The above concept focuses on expanding the area beyond the building and site boundaries. The concept plays on perspectives flipping structures on their head to create seating as well as a collection pond for water off the roof.

CONCEPT 13

NICOLE FARNELL

This concept explores the twisting element from the rose pavilion as well as the flow of light. It uses small lightweight panels to hold itself up by its base whilst flowing off the existing roof structure. This concept was added to the rear courtyard of the building to create a community space of meeting, whilst having shelter and light.

CONCEPT 14

KAITLYN MCNAUGHTON

This idea wraps within the existing building. Perforation have been included to direct intricate light and shadows on the outer walls of the building and into the building. The flowing nature of the design is eye catching which will bring people into the building to look at students artwork.

CONCEPT 15

This concept was designed to act as drainage pipes on the front of the building whilst also being a sculptural feature. The idea of a flared pillar was taken from aspects of the precedent study of the origami pavilion.

The above concept looks at how we might incorporate a different roof structure which could connect with the chosen concept. The quadrilateral panels fit with using quads in constructing the rose and origami pavilion.

CONCEPT 17

NICOLE FARNELL

This concept explores extending the structures panels onto the roof. Two different quadrilateral panels have been used in the shape of rectangles and diamonds to create this pattern.

CONCEPT 18

The above concept looks at adding a covered space alongside the building. This concept includes perforations which will provide interesting shadows. This area would be used as a community space for meeting and a lunch space.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Combine these two concepts to create 3 columns with the look of the rose pavilion where it twists within itself to create light flow.

EXPLANATORY DIAGRAMS

INITIAL DESIGN IDEAS

EDGE CONTINUATION

These diagrams show the continuous flow of the structure connecting to the roof, to each column and the twisting within itself. This idea follows the mobius strip structure. The red shows the outer edge of the structure and the blue shows the water movement from the gutter where it then connects to the model.

This diagram shows the flow of light through the structure. The light will filter through the hollow and reflect off the metallic structure. The hollows collect the north-eastern light directing it into the windows of the building.

PANEL FLOW

This diagram shows the flow of the panels and how they connect with each other. This will interact with the water through the tabs holding the structure together. The tabs and connections were created with a linear flow for depth and ease of building.

WATER MOVEMENT

These diagrams show the flow of water down the roof of the building and the structure. This was created as a element of flow. The water will follow the connecting tabs and joins in some areas, Directing the flow of water to an anchor point on the ground.

CURVATURE ANALYSIS

These diagrams show the curvature analysis of the structure. Blue is where the most tension and curvature is whilst red identifies the flatter surfaces. This was compared to the initial design to show the change in curvature, making it smoother and flowing correctly.

RENDERS

CONTRUCTION

There were 2 models completed for this project, one a 1:100 and another at 1:10 scale. The 1:100 scale model needed to show overall form with the building and the 1:10 show the detailed construction.

The large scale model was completed out of its actual material, Aluminum. The large model needed to be constructed using manual methods as lazercutting could not be performed at Swinburne university due to fumes as risk of fire.

A trial of using continuous tabs was completed however the material was not able to bend at required angles.
