Week Three

Reading: Kolerevic B. 2003. Architecture in the Digital Age

Kolerevic described three fundamental type of fabrication techniques in the reading. Outline the three techniques and discuss the potential of Computer Numeric Controlled fabrication with parametric modelling. (150 words max)

CONTRAST SURFACE & INBETWEEN SPACE

1. Two-dimensional fabrication: The most common used fabrication technique, involves in plasma-arc, laser-beam abd water jet. In plasma-arc cutting, it heats the gas to passes through the cutting zone. In water jet, highly pressuried water mixed with solid to cut material and make the hatch line clean. Laster cutiing use a high-intensity focused beam of infrared light and a jet of high pressurized gasto melt or burn the material.

2. Subtractive fabrication Involves the removal of a specified volume of material from solid using machenical, electric and chemical proccess.

3.Addictive Fabrication By adding material in a layer-by-layer fashion, also referred to as layered manufacturing, solid freeform fabrication, rapid prototypinigor desk manufacturing.

In this task, the purpose of my design is to create two spaces with different elements (sharp and flat) and fold them to a standing strcture. In this process, I try to define in-between space by using basic geometry and combine them to create a a third space between spaces, so that it can vague the boundry and have a in-between space.

Week Four Panels & Waffle

From this vew, the top of the waffel structure is close, which provide a shelter-liked structure and give a sense of security. Big opening at the bottem show the gesture of welcoming.

Big opening at the top and small opening at the bottom is the inverse status of the left image, which provide a way at the bottom and also maximize space on top, the changing in-between create an interesting sense.

Adjust index number in Grasshopper, create different surfaces. To have a better present for my idea, the surface 4 is selected. Touching in one poine of the surfaces and with different distance with other points, the surfaces involve four types of opening: colsed, semi-closed, opened and large opened.

Pattern 1. Set pattern with different size of opening in same scale, create a different sense of the threshold that showing different gesture. Meanwhile, openings are the gate of the environmental contact, in this pattern, different size of openings can generate different microclimate, which can influence people’s behavior.

6

Pattern 2. Set triangles fitting the surface, and scale them into middle then extrude them to random height, create a rhythm sensation, the empty space in the middle may attract people tp climb and stay, which is the in-between space.

Laser Cutting

Week Four

Laser Cutting

Making 2D in Rhino and arranging the patterns

Overlaping lines to save cutting time, Label beside the pattern make the model making easier processing.

Overlaping straight lines but not geometry to avoid over cutting and save the use of page and money.

Making etching line as dotted lilne may helpful with the uselessness of masking tape, so that can avoid surfae damage.

Week Five

OCCUPIED & VACANT SPACE

In this task, idea of the design is generated duing the process of completing the task, which is whether the space is occupied or not. Deometry generated is the same as what generated it, the similarity of the shape come up a question about the true space, and in some way it may inspire people to think and experience in different way.

Geometry 1. Boolean by six octahedrons each array.

Geometry 2. Boolean by three octahedrons each array.

Geometry 3. Boolean by three cubes each array Geometry 4. Boolean by three circles each array

Week Five

Isometric

In this isometric, the spaced occupied and left is similar, the usage of it will become difficult to define, so that in some way can urge people to think about the question: are we managing teh space or it is the space is managing us.

Gray are is the vacant area in this geometri, it gradually disminish from the right to the left, seems like providing the option of space, but in fact, it is misguiding people so that they can think about the questioning.

Gray area is where material occupied, in this instance, white area inside or outside the gray area is similar, which vague the definition of space be use, is that the large space is for using or, n this case, it is occupied? The hardness of defining the space for usage, like the concept of “in-between space”, it is “in-beween definition”.

At this stage, making the digital design into real life is the main theme, unroll each patterns and cut them by using fabrication technique, for this time the laser cutter for task 1 and 3D printerfor task 2.

Task 01 Matrix By using different methods to generate patterns, I found that the panelling tool may create different scale of pattern but in the same shape, but using lunch box can extent the advantage of panelling tool that having different scale of pattern also can differentiate them, make each part of pattern unique and generate different type of opening.

Task 02 Matrix Choosing different shape of geometry to cut the box, circles, cubes, octahedrons and double octahedrons. In this process, geometry generated double octanhedrons is more confused than other geometry, the after-cut geometry is similar to the geometry setted to cut, which which may encourage people to think about the difference and figure out the which is the space that may be used.

Design Matrix 1:5

Design Matrix 1:5

The thin area can hang some vertical displayed items or display platform.

Opening at the end of architecture provide a contrast compare with the beginning, the changing in between encourage people to move in and out in the architecture.

As the exterior of a display wall, the disminishing scale shape the space of displaying.

Different patterns show he contrast of flat eterior surface andd shrp geometry.

Middle part of the panel wall is where items are placed, the different size of space siut different scale items.

Narrow opening makes the architecture like a shelter, the shape of it can give people a sense of security, attract people to come in the architecture

Shaped by the scale, displaying area could be continious or interrupted, which may suit for different purpose of placing, and the light transluted provide different effect.

Gap opening make the boundry of two spaces thickened, also create the in-between sapce from the opening. On site, these panels may attract people to figure it and make them engage into the the panel wall, which is a part of structure and successfully vague the boundry.

Openings are the gate of the environmental contact, in this pattern, different size of openings can generate different microclimate, which can influence people’s behavior.

The shape and scale of the displaying space and the apprearance of the wall are similar, which inspire people to think about the question that whether it is the item decorates the wall or the wall decorates the item.

Big opening on the ground is usually regared as an entrance, provide a way to move into another space.

Gray area is the displaying space.

Different height of panels can create different light effect, this sinked area is usually in shadow may guide people to get in touch with the panel wall.
