The research field that I currently chose is patterning.

P

attern plays a critical role on ornamentation in architecture which intend to express the emotion of author as well as create communication between author and viewers, furthermore, it is a methodology of experiment for aesthetics. It can be considered as a traditional element in architecture from past, which most of them is an symbol that demonstrate the representative features of one or multi religions, cultures and civilisations.

For example, the noted geometric patterns as well as motifs on the mosaics of churches creates an atmospheric effect for the space. Moreover, the corinthian, which is the pattern engraved on the capital of columns from Roman shows the obsession of technology in that society.

B.1 Reserch Field PATTERNING

Apart from the sources from humanities, the nature sources also constitute a substantial portion in patterning. For example, the implementation of different materials composes patterns resulting from the differentiated features of materials. As Adolf Loos said, material becomes very crucial when it comes to be a part of patterning. Barcelona Pavilion, which designed by Mies van der Rohe, composes noticeable walls with distinguished material to indicate the space between walls. Such placement may subvert the conventional meaning of the pattern use in architecture history, it shows patterning can be used not only on ornamentation but also being functional in the architecture.

Nowadays, through the modern modelling by logical algorithms processing, patterning is capable of integrating several elements such as forms, colours, materials and function. For example, de Young Museum by Herzog de Meuron place patterning along with the top side of glasses, which not only shows the pattern arrangement but also become a functional shading panel of the buildings.

T

he campus centre is designed for the training purposes of students. It also serves as a central hub for student life on campus. The large single storey campus features a dense mosaic of programs such as bookstore, food court, cafĂŠ, computer centre, auditorium and so on.

B.2 Case Study 1.0

MCCORMICK TRIBUNE CAMPUS CENTRE

by OMA

The noted patterning is located at the welcome centre which designed as an entry point for visitors to the entire campus. It includes a 8-square-meter images of Mies, who was an initial designer of the campus. Every pixel of images composes an icon which is custom that applied as demonstration signs throughout the building. It is worth noting that some of patterning is projected holographically on the plasma screen. It is also able to communicate the brief history as well as the current event in campus.

From this it can be seen that patterning shows the unlimited possibility when digitalised.

The patterns are capable of being modified and controlled precisely as designer’s desire by computation and fabrication technology. This case enables to start notice the influence that patterning can bring but not limites on patterning itself.

After the evalution, it is found that the apporpriate sample may affect the patterning positioning on Z aixs, which is able to develop 3D patterning.

PORTRAIT BUILDING

by ASHTON RAGGART MCDOUGGAL

he notable patterning of this building is the surface, which draws a portrait of famous celebrity. According to Cheng (2015), the face is designed digitally. Firstly, the design team tried to draw the face of the celebrity through the communication with indigenous.

Then they applied xylographic technique, which improves the image digitally by converting pixelized image into bitmap line drawing. Finally, they translated the image into 3D moulded panel as the balustrades on every floor edges of the building. Hence, this panels together forms the pattern, undergoing further adjustments of details in order to be easily recognised by human eyes even standing far away from the building.

The design approach of this building also implemented by ARM previously on Dupain Building in Sydney.

This patterning generates the unique spotlight in the CBD of Melbourne. This patterning may be considered as a symbolism, moreover, it also becomes a welcome intervention in the city space.

DIVIDED LINE EVALUATION

SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLES

This model explores the limitation of the portarit building. The patterns may vary from different sample image but the form does not change sinces it is controlled by another parameter. Hence, this model could be potential on patterns but not forms.

The pattern which recalled on this model by a specific sample image translate the pattern to a surprising patterns of muscles.This shows the potontial of image pattern also the approch that I would like to walk - design and inspiration finding.

DETIAL ADJUSTMENT

The new apporiate form gives new sense of the patterning. This may explore in future about the variation of the forms.

The boxboard might be appopriate material however the resistence of water is weak compared to the polyropylene. The thickness may varies depend on the purpose of use.

If blending into irregular surface required for this patterning, then choose 0.6mm thick for easy modeling.

Otherwise, 1.8 or 3 mm thick is better because it can support more forces on the surface.

B.5 Technique: Prototypes FABRICATION & MATERIALISATION

The use of polypropylene is for showing the transparancy of the space.

Moreover, it can be easily manipulated.

The pattern is digitalized hence laser cut image might be an good option for modeling this pattern.

Polypropylene

The noticeable is the setting of the laser cut, it may not need to actual cut which may destroy the patterns, appropiate erch which makes lines visible is enough for patterning.

he site is located besides the Rushell Station. Although it is near the station, the land spot is missing at that area. It would difficult to tell the distinguishment between Rushell Sation and others in different places. The patterning I am working on may be able to referesh the atomosphere there, the implemention of image sampling pattern may desmonstrate the features of that particular area such as pelecanoididae and constrcuct it present in front of visiors.

Moreover, it is observed that the sun strength substantially exceed the capacity that human can take caused by the openess of sapce. Hence, buliding patterns as a shield may be another benefit for the residents who live there.

Designed along with the features of rabbits The rabbits are highly prolific and their home are always difficult to find resulting from the messy and comhensive structure A shelter for rabbits has at least three entrances for their entry The architecture shows the high density and conplicated structure arrangement with the reference of rabbits’ home.

This building shows the new way for human staying as well living, with the harmonlizing with nature. People touches nature all the time thanks to the various opening it created.

The architecture is also interesting and adventurable.
