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 panel’s location has been caculated through computer program and positioned at the sweet spot that maximises solarpanel surface area and exposure.

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.
‘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.’ 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.

/ 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 structure’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.
