Queen Victoria Garden Pavilion
After finishing 3 modules’ assigment of digital design, i am very exciting about the new skills i learned from new softwares like grasshopper and unreal engine. More importantly i have a deeper understanding about the key concept of digital design. With the help of the Rhino, Unreal engine, grasshopper, the space of being creative are expanded, and the distance between the creative ideas and the reality are becoming shorter. During the module 1 study, i learned the importance of diagram, which is a powerful way to stronger the concept of a project. What we were doing was the circulation and threshold diagram which is good begining to lead me to think about how a pavilion actually work out with people engagement.
Illustrator Indesign Fabrication
The second module, we started to play around with surface and geometries by using the parametric software.The intersting part of this assignment is try my best to push the grasshopper harder and harder in order to see how crazy or how changeable geometry a simple script can make. Also, understanding the logic behind the grasshopper is a difficult problem for me but it became very usedful after i under it. The final modul is also my favourite module, i feel exciting to have chance to see my idea to be made out in unreal engine which allow me to see how my pavilion actually look like in the real world. I enjoying doing the rendering in UR, and also feel good to concentrate on one idea and then try my best to push it . In conclusion, this subject make me enjoy the process of making crazy idea , develop it , push it and make it real.

Diagramming Design Precedent
The key concept of the Konishi pavilion is to use different combination of the simple traingular shape to make interesting angle. Peole can see this pavilion in dfferent views with various of experiences. The circualtion and threshlod made by this pavilion made a good space for people to come in and have a break.
South-east isometric view can show position of the access, ventilation and window. Form up to down, 3 opening space create a greate circualtion place for people, because of the great light, fresh air and appropriate space to move. People tend to move toward the exhinition place with nature light and confortable seat. Therefore, the circulation trend closely related to the 3 opening space. The over-hang and ramp position can be clearly showed on this view, which also makes people feel they already in the range of building though they still out of the door.

Using different colours to show 3 opening spaces: view, access, ventilation. Arrows to show the density of population and the direction of movement.
The ramp, the space created by the over-hang and vertical wall form the threshold of the pavilion.

When i was trialing with different literation, i want to explore the possibilities of the combination of patterns and surfaces. Therefore i changed various element, for example, the shape of surfaces, distance of offset grid, types of attractors(point attractor, curve attractor), domain grid number and different patterns. The concept of my final design is to create a panel can give people greate light/shadow experience and also can be multi-functional by puting it into different position.
Surface and Waffle
From the Left bottom to the right top(small opening on the 2D pattern——big opening on the 3D pattern)
2D pattern with one opening,
Solid pattern with no opening, triangular shape create big shading If people stand on this area, they cant tell these patterns have openings
Solid pattern with 2 differentshape openings

Computation Workflow
These two surfaces are used in my final design, which is because of the shape of these two surface is stable and developable, for example, wide open space in the middle is a good circulationspace and also the top of the surfaces create greate shading space which can be thought as the space like shelter.
8
pattern1: using point attractor to make the pattern for the first surface, and i choose 3 different patterns to put in this surface
pattern 2: change the point attractor to the curve attractor and make the shape gradually change from 2D pattern to 3D pattern

After boolean difference with cube and octahedron,there have lots of openings

Both of the third and forth model used 2 different lunch box component. Third model combine the cube and icosahedran, while the final model used the cube and octahedron. The process of making these two model is similiar, both of them used cube to make inner space and use another geometry to make the entrance to the cube.

Computational Process
divide one surface into grid and list the points the base surface
duplicate the points in 3 direction in ooder to make a 50*50*50 box
change the volume of the inner space which decide the center points of the boolean geometries to be put in
adjust the gride points to make the shape of the small boxes to be interesting
i changed the boolean geometry from basic sphere into platonic cube and platomic octahedron

M2 Task 2 3D Printing
it takes 1h6mins to make this model and this way to put the model can reduce the supporting matterial but the inside suppoting material is a bit difficult to be taken out.

Queen Victoria Pavilion THE SPINDRIFT
The concept of my pavilion is about the light and shadow experience, therefore i choose to use the twisting shape with timber strips which allow the light beam to come into the pavilion and the timber structure will make people feel light and elegant. In order to fit 15 people in the space, i made the landscape to be used as the seats and the stage was put in a middle which is lower than the seats on the two sides. The light experience on the day will attract people to come to the lunchtime seminar and the warm light on the both pathway and pavilion will help people to enjoy the atmosphere at music night.

M3 - The Spindrift

The glass roof at the top creates the threshold , and also the combination of glass roof and timber structure made the shade for the pavilion.

Timber Structure Detail 1:25 This pavilion is mainly made by timber structure, which is for the concept of light and shadow. The gaps between the timber strips allow beautiful light beam to come inside. Horizontal strips are used to connect vertical timber structure in order to make it stable.
The uphill terrain put the pavilion on a high postion which helps the flying shape more obvious especially on the night, an lighting flying-shaped pavilion can be more arrtactive for the people to come to the concert.
The step-down creates a seating space to allow for viewing of performances inside the pavilion.

The stage is set on the concave in the middle, which creates a nice atmosphere to be arounded by the pavilion and aslo allow the landscapes around to be used as seats which used the limited space efficiently.

Design Iteration
1. This is the first try, the shape is too normal and looks chunky.
2. Based on the same grasshopper scripts, i changed the shape into more interesting one, but still not good enough to be elegant.
3. I tried another grasshopper scripts, and like the shape and size of the strips but the circulation in the reality is not good.
4. Still keep using the first grasshopper scripts, but changed both shaped and size, and thickness of the strips is good, therefore my final design used the same thickness as this one but with different shape.
Final design. I like the flying shape and the thickness of the strips which allow the light to get in and create a good light and shadow experience.

1. duplicate the cennter plan which is used to decide the number and position of the strips
3. find the middle point of the strips which is used to decide the shape of each circle
2. use expression to caculate the basic shape which will be rotated, and make them spiraling
Computational Process 5. join and loft the lines and bake them in the Rhino
4. move the middle points of each circle to make the shape more interesting
26
Fabrication process
My whole physical model is made by laser cutting, it’s hard to make the thin strips to stand, therefore i used horizontal strips to connect the vertical pavilion in order to make it stable.
