A.1. DESIGN FUTURING

STUDIO AIR

Bloom is a sun-shading device that located at the Material and Application Gallery in Los Angeles. It is made up of approximately 140000 laser cut thermobiometal pieces. This smart metal can automatically curls when it heated.

It can open and close open and close as that sun moves around on that surface. Each of them is different and moves individually. It also can actuarially control the amount of air conditioning you need inside that design

This project proofed its concept implications to actual future application in architecture.

This thermal-biometal is about a lamination of two different metal together, when heated, one side will expand faster than the other side. So you can see it curls when heated. It works like human skin that can response to the surrounding environment.

Also known as Solar House 2.0. The roof is completely covered in photovoltaic panels. It can provide passive protection against solar radiation during the hot months, or allow radiation to enter during the cold months The south facade of this house is covered by additional solar panels, which are angled optimally for harvesting energy from the sun. The structure of this house in carried out by parametric tools and fabricated by CNC machines. The geometry are created based on solar inclination, orientation and openings to the outside.

“Wood is a living material that grows in the sun. It is an inexhaustible material produced in culture. Is a soft, accessible, easy to work, adapt and join. It’s a warm material, which provides high thermal insulation.” -IAAC

SUMMARY The first project described a idea that design is to breathe life into the products and the buildings around us. Designer get inspire from nature itself. It can be applicate at many area of design. Maybe in the future, there is no window anymore. The building can breadth by itself but not artficially making mechanical systems more and more efficient which will make thing even worth. The second project, the designer carried out the idea about how energy efficiency should guide the form of a building, rather than just adding solar panels to a finished design. The buidling is shaped by its surronding environment. The shape and its appreance is not just for looking good. Every panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location has been caculated through computer program and positioned at the sweet spot that maximises solarpanel surface area and exposure.

A.2. DESIGN COMPUTATION

Research P

This research project is designed based on beetle shells. It is a double-domed pavilion. The surface have 36 unique geometry components. The insider components layer is made by glass fiber. The outside layer is made by carbon fibre. To achieve high geometrical articulation and material organization.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The focus of the project is a parallel bottom-up design strategy for the biomimetic investigation of natural fiber composite shells and the development of novel robotic fabrication methods for fiber reinforced polymer structures.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; To achive that, they have to use computer to run a serise acurate caculation to work out the component definition and constraints (like max diameter and height, number of vertices and stress of the whole structure). 7

The structure, enclosure and primary architecture component was all completed by computational design technique. T he design was developed through custom computational protocols of structural form finding, descriptive geometry, and stress flowdriven porosity. At the beginning, they got a 2D network pattern. They use that as a footprint inflates and expands in the air through changing the value of springlen.

Without computaional caculation , it is impossible to overlapping 990 shingles to each other and forms tangential continuity and rigidity accuratly. It only takes 4 day to established. Physical measurements will not access you to achieve such structure in such short period. These digitally fabricated parts were bolted together to form this beautiful archways, columns and walls.

MINIMAL STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

/ Frei Otto

The thread was pin on the white board, then dipped in the water with soap solution and then hung upside down. To let them quite loose and messy when dry, they are given 12.5% over length. Because the water make them brunch together. Using resin to maintain the form and after its dry just turned over. Then you got the rigid minimal structural system.

They placed silk warm inside a box with magnetic sensors, and create 3-dimensional point cloud to visualize the complex architecture of the silkworm cocoon. They placed the silkworm in different environments and they discovered that the shape, the composition, the structure of the cocoon, was directly informed by the surrounding environment.

THE SILK PAVILION

BY MIT MEDIA LAB NATURE-INSPIRED DESIGN TO A DESIGN-INSPIRED NATURE + The basic structure was compose of 26 polygonal panels made of silk threads. The overall geometry of the pavilion was created using an algorithm that assigns a single continuous thread across patches providing various degrees of density. Second structureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall density variation was created by the silkworm itself deployed. They used 6500 silk warms to spin and fill these gaps. They found that the movement of silk warms are affected by natural light and heat. The silkworms were more prefer migrate to darker ,colder and denser areas.

A.4. Conclusion Before I am doing this subject, I have been use ‘sustainability’ idea a lot in my design process. Such as use solar panel, green roof and renewable materials. However, after finish these weeks reading and precedent projects research, I recognise sustainability and the idea of design is far more from that. What I did in the past is not design but repackaging. Therefore, for the future study, I think I will expand my gaze, renew my idea of design and apply to my future design. Computational design allowing me to achieve what I said above. It allowing me to design complex forms with simple scripts (I wish). Through computation approach I no longer have to use CAD which limits the possibilities that are waiting to be explored. The structures that I explored in Part A.3 can not build without computational approach. Its benefits today’s designer away from manufacturing and mass production. It enabling us to design new structure of the world. I think Part A is really important and helpful for my next stage exploration and assignment. It refreshed my understanding of design.

I have never access grasshopper in design practise before this class. But now I have a basic idea that how it works and run. It is very logical while I am not a logic person at all. So it takes really long time to figure out the scripts and get used to it. It is really exciting when I see some fabulous pattern and geometry created by those little components. It is absolutely useful for my past design. It can benefit my design process, create model easier and faster. I do not have to redrawn everything when I changed my mind in Rhino or CAD. It take minute to change variable and then create thousands possibilities.

Strip/Folding Architecture

I am always fascinating with organic architecture that can fit perfectly into the natural surroundings. There are many techniques features organising strip folding. They can create different spatial experience of a form. Strip and Folding, as the one of the commonest technique of Architecture Design, widely used to creates manifold and complicated spatial, structural and organisational diagrams and etc. Creates different layers and continuous space. Seems very random form but also possess some logical and subtle order. It described a different kind of beauty of sincerity, for logic, and for clarity of architecture. ICD/ITKE RESEARCH PAVILION 2010 and LOOP 3 well demonstrated this design idea. ICD/ITKE pavilion is formed by bending plywood strips and structure based on a pair of segmental arches. It starts material behaviour test as parametric dependencies based on a large number of physical and computational tests. Apart from that, the manufacturing and assembly logics were also integrated in the computational process. The whole structure can be broken down into pairs of plywood planar elements and bent in a complex and dynamic way. The fabrication of strips and folding, can be manage into the minimum number of developable elements able to be cut within the constraints of flat sheets. That will be save money on material costs and reduce the

This iterationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pavilion is very interesting. I can see the folding strips along the surface. It just gives me a basic idea that how my tree house pavilion would looks like. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gonna use this iteration for latter prototype to see how can join these folding strips.

For this iteration, I think this shape will be a very good example for my tree house design. It looks like a huge bird nest or ant nest. I think it will blend in with natural surroundings. It has two entrance and the columns in the middle has divided the house into several small space. It is good for chirden to explore different space of tree house.

For this iteration, again, I think this shape will be a very good example for my tree house design. Different with previous one, it created a semi-open space. For the open area, it can be a observatory for childrens. And for the closed area, can be divided into different function zone for children to explore. It can be link with several tree which would be very fun for children to play. 17

Fastener Iron fastener with very sharpe head. Originally use for fixation of telephone cabel.

Analysis After I finish all the joins I found that the material of the surfaces is not strong enough, can not provide enough support to the whole surface. I might consider use other bendable materials such as wood strips or aluminium board in the future development. I used same iron fasteners for this model but tested two different types washers. I found that rubber washers are more fit and close to the bended surfaces while double duroplastic washers can only work with flat surface. The head of fasteners is too long and too sharp and it is not friendly with children therefore it is not a desirable joins for my design. I will change the fastener type (short and with flat heads) in the future development 19

Throughout Part. B, both of my understanding and manipulation of Grasshopper has improved. At the beginning of this course, I was just simply imitate the script of online tutorials and change some basic data of components. In this stage, Part B.1 provides me a great opportunity to explore the interaction of each components. It encourage me to add different data, index or components into original scripts. But success is not guaranteed every time therefore this process really take times and patience. You can always get some unexpected results which is quite exciting. Part B. 2 is most challenging part for me but it really exercised and enhanced my parametric design ability. In this process, I have found many interesting pavilions and organic forms. I am always fascinating with organic architecture that can fit perfectly into the natural surroundings. Compare with Rhino, Grasshopper can really help me to achieve such organic shape easily. In prototype model process, I explored the materials and joins of pavilion strips. This process allowed me to identify errors in this early stage, which is definitely a good preparation and practice for final project fabrication.

Expect to futher concept development. Good interation and algorithm

Water Filter or Rubbish Collector

Interesting concept and precedent studies.

Aim To improve the aesthetics of Merri Creek, this will be done by covering up the multiple drains around the creek with a structure. Form The form will take on an organic shape which is influenced by the culture around the creek i.e. the graffiti. It will also need to take into consideration the flow of water and how it will be removed from the drain. 34

C1.2 Site Info Our target site is near the Dight Falls. It is a drain called G.O.D.. The entrance under the Eastern freeway above and Yarra River. One is about 3 meters in height and small one around 1.5 meters height. There are many graffiti ouside and inside tunnel. Looks a bit creepy because the density of the shadows. It is very close to Dight Falls, only take a short walk. You can clearly hear the sound of waterfalls. DESIGN PROPOSAL We are aming to improve the aesthetics of Merri Creek, this will be done by covering up the multiple drains around the creek with a structure. The form will take on an organic shape. And the pattern which is influenced by the graffiti. It will also need to take into consideration the flow of water and how it will be removed from the drain. The material will need to be durable in all temperature and weather conditions. It must be water proof so that the quality of the material does not diminish when coming unto contact with the water from the creek and drain.

C1.3 PRECEDENCE STUDY Marc Fornes Nonlin Pavilion combines elements that mimic nature, architecture, sculpture and organic form which is also known as biomimetic design. The form of the pavilion takes on a coral-like shape that creates tunnels that people can sit on, walk around and even climb.

Pattern

STUDIO AIR

There are many graffiti outside and inside of the drain. Something like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wimps turn back hereâ&#x20AC;? with a demarcation arrow. We wish to generate similar pattern with the picture that showed above. So we studied several graffiti style and the one that called wild style is works best. The mesh is composed by thousands trangular pieces and the wildstyle graffiti can be seen as trangular composed as well.

Prototype 1 Material: Polypropylene

STUDIO AIR

This prototypy is mainly for patern, material and joins of the pattern can actually reflects the general form of groups. We found polypropylene is perfectly suits our model b fold and bent, waterproof and self-support. We have tried several joins such as press studs but eye press them together.

s testing. The pattern looks very good and the shadow graffiti. We join and grouped them into different color

because its in varied range of color. The strips is easy to

elets works best. We can easily use hammer or plier to

Prototype 2 Material: Powder Printing Trying to see its overall shape and how its fit to the entrance of the drain.

Prototype 3 Material: 3D Printing Trying to see its overall shape and how its fit to the entrance of the drain.

Prototype 4

Material: Chocolate Use garlic package to imitate the mesh trangular grid. It will automatically form the tunnel between two water balloons. Then added a buch of melt chocolate and wait it to dry.

STUDIO AIR

Pierce the bolloon after chocolate dry and calm down. you can see its inside tunnel clearly.

C3.0 Final Project

STUDIO AIR

We decided use the model that generated last time. Exploed mesh surfaces into pieces and then join them into letter shaped strips and group them in different color. Lable the strips so we can build model easier in late stage.

C.4. Learning Objectives and Outcomes After the whole semester’s study and training, I get absolutely absorbed in my project. My grasshopper skills has developed much futher that I think. In this study, I’ve received lots of useful feedback, and practice from my groupmebers and tutor. Honestly, it is the most tough semester I ever had, however through the whole semester’s hard work, advice and encourage really shaped my confidence a lot. This subject let me discovered that grasshopper’s potential is virtually unlimited, once you learn you definately will love it and can’t leave without it. The most important thing I noticed is that the greatest grasshopper resources is not on the lecture slide, not youtube or other website. They are close to me, in mine hands. It’s about practise and practise and extra practise. The final outcome is definitely suprised me. Never thought it would be looks that good. It is an amazing process that you turn your imagination in to reality. I will keep develop my final outcome even after this semester with no doubt.
