I thought design is another way to express the understanding of the world. Any interesting observation, various things could the the concept of the design, no matter it is a solid, real, or abstract and untouchable, such as feeling, sounds, light. Everything just come into brain and drive the idea. I tried the different way to design, to describe my thought. I have learnt a lot of skill in this subjects, Rhino, grashopper which is the most interesting and useful software I learnt. I have touched it in first year (2018) previously. GH always save the time and labour to build model more quickly and accurately by parametric technology. It is also provide a randomly design by mathematic if you want. I have learnt alot of plugins for it this year by myself, like weavebird and Kangeroo. Unreal Engine is fantastic provide a opportunity for peopel to attach with building or any designs before its constructed. It is more convenience than small physical models because you can feel the real size directly in render. I like UE4 rendering becasue of its efficiency.

As a desginer I think to introduce and present your design is as important as making design. A convicing presetstion is very important to transfer your desgin concept, show your deep and completed consideration, and point out the creative things you want to show. Like in module 3, I want to show the geometric patters arraied in the way to create various probability of composition, like butterfly and flower. And the shadow and light is the key components of my design, but I focus much more on the butterfly patterns than others, caused many people cannot get my cooncept. Thus this is a skill I should improvein the future. I should focus on introduction of my design patterns, more than which specific thing make the idea come

Isometric
Isometric View The model is shown in North-East viewpoint. Thepavilioniscompositedbymanygeometries,arrangedmathmatically by rotation and transformation . The structure of this pavilion is very simple. From the diagram, we coud easily see the main functions of the pavilion are petal-like patches, 95 rodels and timber decking. The timber decking is array linearly with the triangulor ground. The pental-like panels and patches use the rotation, of times of 60 degree The spcaeis quiet open, but it still has main threshold which is timber deck in between the .plantsareas. The circulation is depended on the rods and shadow of the covering. The transcluate patches provide the enough natural light also make the shadow for visitors to rest.

Circulation
Threshold
The circulation is quiet diffent in weekdays and weekends, during the weekdays, people comes from city and have a short stay, for rest, and they always stay in shadow. On weekends, visitors come to take part in many activities which are hold here, it is dense in volumn.
The thresholds are depended on the surrouding environment, which the timber “in-between� spaces is faced to the main road and tram station, to welcome the visitor.

SURFACE AND WAFFLE STRUCTURE
Surface Creation
We use grasshopper to make an 150x150x150 cube at first. Then choose the index on the edges. I use the other way to make the points could not be choosed randomly on each edges. To make two surface which are parallel to create a main thresholds. The way to create surface l is from point to line then surface, It is quite mathimatic ways to thinking.

Module 3 - Shodow Pavilion Fantastic experience with attached shadow,shading and cast shadow
16
Introduction
The idea of patterns composited with geometries in the early design process. To consider the natural and artistic atmosphere in the Victoria Garden, the pavilion is designed and affected by the cultivated context. The intention that to bring people to experience the natural art, fantastic lighting, create an atmosphere of human and nature harmony. Thus, a metaphor emerged that would shape the design intent: a figurative butterfly patterns and structure screwing and composited with triangle geometries forming a natural place to shelter under and meet interior, where could allow people to conjoining, holding events and urban life. It is not the real butterfly or flowers, many different composition could be found by combination of patterns, contrast with the real objects, they are likely ot the icons. The pavilion is designed with a feeling of lightness, defined by the holes and glasses translucent. The interior space could be shown to visitors outside, all the sitting area and parametric benches are designed to invite people to engagement interior or exterior.
17
The patterns are designed with a deep consideration to mimic the dappled sunlight and shifting shadow in a day, the shadows would circulate and move on the podium follow the movement of sunlight, the glasses also make the reflection in surrounding area, which figurate the “butterflies� flutter from side to side around or in the pavilion. The camouflage (visual opacity) created when the patterns are fixed in the structure, finely lined array. There are over 600 triangle geometries on the structure, and 220 are covered by various size of glasses, 180 are solid shadings, and the others are small opening. Therefore, 3 kinds of transparency would be shown in shadow. The permeable gesture contrasts with the concrete podium and steps, emphasis the lightness and motion of structure and shadows design. Much more translucent patterns on the threshold to show welcome, and more covering or shading on the top as shelter. Less restriction for patterns imagination, people could sit in pavilion to enjoy the light and shadow and imagine various composition of patterns.
18
Precedent Study Before design process, I go back to my first module Mpavilion by Amanda Levete Architects to find some idea for my concept. I like the idea that use metaphor in design. Pavilion is designed in a figurative tree canopy forming a natural place . The shelter is composited with “petal� like patterns, and arranged in a way to make much more kinds of composition, like optical illusion. And then I memorized that Ecsher’s Butterfly, which is also used geometry and logic to express images.
Figure 1
Figure 2 Butterfly, Escher
The semi-transluecent patterns create a impressed shodow on the ground, the idea create a natural atmosphere. The petal patterns are designed to mimic the dappled sunllight and shifting shadow found in the shade of tree, impressed me and help me to get my concept.

19
Design Iteration I have made a lot of interation during design process, like general shape, structure, and At the begining, I built two surface screw and grow up from bottom base points, combined on the central top and form a covering. Two thresholds created with considered.
Mesh is created by Kangeroo, and the desgin of patterns were practiced. I want to use the permutation and composition of geometries, especially the triangles and hexagons to make the patterns
20
Design Iteration I have made a lot of interation during design process, like general shape, structure, and patterns. The sturcture of pavilion was so tiny in early designed. After the reaserch, know that the construction steel tube diameter is about 100mm.
Adjust the thickness of structure tube in 125mm and 100mm. By contrust of both aesthetic, the 100mm one could express the lightness, and solve the structure problem.
21
Isometric Steel Structure Detail 1:50
Secondary Circulation Path
The patterns are designed in triangle shape. The metaphor emerged and shape the design intent: figurative butterflies and flowers patterns create a permeable structure. The concept comes from Ecsher’s practice of opacity illusion. The visual illustion happens when patterns are combined together. Glasses and Holes make the whole pavilion a lightness feeling. Glasses inset the struction with a frame to fix, as shelter, allows for the transfer of light.
Primary Circulation Path Threshold Seating Area
The main gesture of the pavilion is composited by two curvey surfaces, screw and grow up from two base points setted at the two thresholds. The curvy shape is designed to lead of thresholds.
Three levels of transparancy would appled sunlight and shifting shadow at daytime.
Sunken steps for another threshold
The structure is created using Parametric technology and Boolean Union. All the structure is created by a mesh composited with triangles by Kangeroo. Randomly choose the triangles to make composition. Much more closed covers on the top and less small size glasses on surrouond to make shading, which is created by using point affect to control the opeing size and covers, more area of transparency on the threshold sides to show welcom, and less area of opening and transparency to make shadow for visitors to rest and enjoy the fantasic butterfly shadow changing. The concrete parametric benchs combined with the seats inside the pavilion, as landscapes built to suppportsthe pavilion. Show the lightness of pavilion by contrast. The concrete steps down creates a threshold conneted with different landscape, lead visitors to go inside the pavilion. The ramp down as a transitional space approaching to the pavilion, to create a threshold. This ensures the accessibility for disable and he aged.
Gathering space for visiter, covered by vegetaion to create a natural space. Vegetation and soil have good ability to absorb rainwater. Also it is comfortable to sit or walking to experience natural environment. Under the patterns covers, a permeable pavilion composite to create a to create an atmosphere: Human and Nature harmony.
