Digital design gave me a new recogonization of design through digital skills. Some master architects’ works inspired and movivated me a lot in my design process. I looked Zaha Hadid and Sanna’s works for inspirations. Through this subject, I learned basic skills of grasshopper and uneal engine. As a designer, I am looking for dymanic discipline for my design concept, including the dynamic shape and circulations. In my module three pavilion, I tried to create a dynamic shape of pavilion, combining with the landscape. However, my design concept needs improvements. I also need to improve the linework of my drawings.
Diagramming Design Precedent Sanaa Serpentine Pavilion
The serpentine pavilion is designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of leading Japanese architecture practice SANAA in 2009. In my modelling process, my key concept is the garden surroundings with gallery pavilion. During my working process, I focused on its floating canopy, which is in different height between 1meter to 3 meter. As for circulaation and thresholds, the pavilion is located in a park, with trees and lawns, built with aluminium roof and stainless steel columns. There are no walls in the pavilion, which allows uninterrupted view through the whole park. There are sufficient open space for people’s entertainment and communication. This project gave me a clear understanding for circulation and thresholds. I realised that a good design of architecture is a combination with circulations and surrongding envirmoents.

Surface and Waffle
Perforations on the surface allows sunlight coming in to get good illumination during the day.
Solid panels with holes is created for artificial light during night. These panels are placed around the surface like a circle, which can create a good light view and shadows at night.
Insert at least 100 words on your process of creating your task 01 of Module 02.
The thin opening on the front allows people to go through and have a wider view when they go inside. This allows people to have a full view for the pavilion, including all attraction points.

laser cutting linework I enrolled surface to get the linework for my panelling surfaces. It was important to add tabs and delete unneeded lines in rhino.

SOLID AND VOID
My model is created by the bollen forms. This part I chose for 3D print well represents the space transition and it is the cornor connecting the small part bollen forms and large part booleen form. Thus, it can give a whole view of the pavilion.
The small boolean form cut the solid and makes open spaces with triangle shapes. This side is with small patterns and allows sunlight to come through.
This side is creaded by larger booleen forms, which created more open spaces and have a good transection. It has a clear contrast with the small pattern sides, responsing to the waffle disign.
The corner here is the intersection between large pattern forms and small patterns forms. The foundamental open space created by my pattern is triangle and the space is streching from this cornor.
Spaces at the bottom are under the solid, ehich composes a darker space.

I used triangle to make the solid and viods. During 3d print process, I paied attention on the thickness analysis to make sure it is printable. I chose the part at the cornor to be printed, which clearly show the spacial transition of my object.

Thickness analysis for 3d print.
This is the Star pavilion. I designed it withe the concept of shining stars in the sky. I looked Sanna’s Summer Pavilion for inspiration to create two unzipped oppenings . The large opening in the front creates a space for a concert, the small opening in the back creates a lunch seminar space. There are two ways on two openings leading people go into the pavilion. For the thresholds, there are moon shape benches for people to sit and have a rest. Plants are in the middle of the benches, which creates the arounding of the bench for sitting area. A smaller bench is located towards the concert, which is designed for audience to watch the concert.

Isometric The long bench creates a semi-private space for chatting or relaxing, as well as a threshold between landscape and pavilion.
The hollowed sexangle pattern gives the surface a thickness, also allows light going through during day time, having a good light and shadow effect. The surface becomes luminous during the night, shiny like stars in the sky, which gives the concert a great light show.
The stairs create a transitional space approaching to the luch seminar area in the pavilion.
The stairs create a transitional space approaching to the pavilion, directly leading audience to the concert area.

The seating stair ceates a space for audience to see the performence in the pavilion, as well as seperate the pavilion from the landscape.
Design Iteration
This is the first shape I designed for my pavilion. It was a more tabular shape.
I tried triangular panels for the surface of pavilion. I changed the shape to be skinner. I like the clear and open space this shape created.

Finally, I changed my design to the sexangle panels for the surface. I like the hollows it created. The hollows created good light and shadow effects.
