Tensile Bubbles Adaptive Component Structure Workshop I Architectural Association Design Research Lab Instructor: Mostafa El-Sayed Team: Evangelos Polykandriotis, I Tzu Wang, Luna Wang, Xio Dan Yang

The developmental model is an experimental design exercises, where we develop procedural processes capable of generating formal and material affects through different principles that are the base variables of a given test. Through a series of experimentations using polypropylene, we aimed to document our procedural workflow and develop an understanding of material behaviour. Creation of an adaptive component structure whose form will be controlled through the different states of its own parts is achieved by the end of the workshop. The potentials inherent in material systems helped creation of a generative system with the proposal. Performative tests are applied during the design process and adressed as evaluatory criterias. Geometries are refined iteratively by referencing these tests and more attention developped on the structural constraints that are existing in the system. The project involves documentation of different tests and production processes with the material. Each of these tests are documented in order to inform the fabrication process.

02 Generative Growth Encoding Information Workshop II Architectural Association Design Research Lab Instructor: Mostafa El-Sayed, Aleksandar Bursac Team: Ege Acar, Kemal Arda Alkin, Qing Li

The workshop will explore the generative potential of self-regulating neighbourhoods of voxels that interact through simple local rule sets and result in complex organisations across large populations. Experimenting through explicit models of interactions and observable patterns of agency the workshop will explore the capacity for these systems to evolve structural elements with the capacity to self-structure. Workshop was based on different scales of research. The focus was to form different communicative relations between single units in unit scale, local scale and global scale which occupy voxel space with geometric information. Different scales created different parameters that affect the system as a whole. Behavioral features of units formed due to their representational geometry were documented. Conditional possibilities between units and clusters, growth of voxel formation pattern and future alternatives were examined. The proposal develops around a computational strategy that is generative as its purpose is to construct new orders of systemic models. Implementations create a family of physical structures through time-based generation. Specifically, the intention is to incorporate computational concepts related to evaluating qualitative structuring behaviour within the design processes.

Flux is a behavioural unit-based space-system that aims to achieve specifics of the needs of any context at the given time. The features of the space are based on the event, reason of use and user, and time-based environmental conditions. The proposal is a contemporary interpretation of spaceframe which challenges the existing model by introducing flexibility to the system with transformative, autonomous, hybrid units. Rule-based organization between these agents(units), enables it to become a generative structural volumetric framing strategy. Material behaviour is the core of all performance and function of the unit. The variety of rigidity levels helps the system continue its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;softâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; features. It can morph, and change, it can stay and keep static. Mechanisms of interconnected and interrelated communicative networks feed each other for evolutionary features. Self-conscious and self-learning capacities of singular modules create a whole brain for the system to operate infinitely, under dynamic and intelligent control system. The new architectural model learns, adapts, survives and functions.

Geometric Search Initial Prototypes After explorations on generative growth systems and the researching on the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purposes; the physical correspondence of designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objectives are studied. Three dimensionality as a first layer for constructing the geometry is later combined with specific behaviours and transformation abilitites. Unit transformation depends upon two axes of movement, two-sided rotatable arms and pivots joints in these four arms. these arms, the unit can grow and contract within its very own bounding box and pivot in any direction that it requires. Likewise, the joints at the top and end hub makes it simpler for our unit to form a closed wheel like structure for closed unit mobility. Spring behaviour is entirely fascinating because this action lined up with our unit impeccably. Correlation between the movement and the pressure of the springs conflicts with one another which results as an ideal harmony.

Unit transformation depends upon two axes of movement, two-sided rotatable arms and pivots joints in these four arms. these arms, the unit can grow and contract within its very own bounding box and pivot in any direction that it requires. Likewise, the joints at the top and end hub makes it simpler for our unit to form a closed wheel like structure for closed unit mobility. Octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces, twelve edges, and six vertices. The term is most commonly used to refer to the regular octahedron, a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex. But in our project 4 of the edges are removed in order for other edges to rotate freely to from open or closed states. Our geometries most clear capacity is its growing and contracting capacity, envision three-pivot that has been framed inside the octahedron x ,y and z and if this hub length between the edges of the unit are summarized we can see that the all-out entirety is rarely changing, in light of the fact that when one of them is contracting two of them are extending. This act is inspected with 15-degree edge distinction and it could be exhibited as these diagrams. Octahedron 6 Nodes 8 Branches Octahedron

Cluster Performance Deformation Catalogue We started investigating space transformation possibilities and what sort of effects may its own behaviour can bring into the system. For these reasons the abstraction of spring particles is introduced for each unit which restrains the branch dimensions but transforms the geometry according to different criterias tested on them. Different formation types, attractor locations and anchor points are all resulted in attributing to distinct outcomes by giving distinct rest lengths to the units. Later on detecting the most efficient connection both for the units design and clusters performance is catalogued on different dimensions of full grid arrangements to construct a better understanding of clusters transformation and deformation capabilities. We started with simple neighbour conditions and assigning expand shrink and steady behaviours on different patterns. Pattern creation is later tested by integrating different enacting mechanism as the idea of inputting spaces as field creators on assigning different rest lengths to different units. At certain points, the system managed to open up the closer distanced units to the input areas by deciding on which connections to unlock and lock.
