ARCITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO AIR The Univesrity of Melbourne (564156) Yordan Domuzov
My first approach to parametric design. A poject based on modelling with Rhino Phyton.
The idea behind the project was to create pavilions which are flexible and adjustable to any landscape. Other features of the structures are that they can be easly transported and erected in a short period of time. We created a composition of random located pavilions. However this randomness is a contolled randomness in term of possible site size and in order pavilions not to intersect with one another. For creating this surface we used a rather complex, three dimensional tessellation because of the atmosphere it would convey and the shade it would provide.

A travelling pavilion by Renzo Piano in the begining of the 1980’s. It was set up across various cities in Europe for a traveling exhibition of IBM computers.
IBM TRAVELLING PAVILION
This pavilion is an early example of parametric design because of its complexity and modularity. It consists of series of three-hinged arch trusses that form a barrel vault and each of the arched trusses is a system of clear polycarbonate pyramids. Numerous innovative techniques and methods, such as the use of glue in fastening wood to metal components, were used for the building of the pavilion.

ICD/ITKE RESEARCH PAVILION 2010 A temporary research pavilion designed and constructed by the Institute for Computational Design and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design at the University of Stuttgart in 2010. The innovative structure demonstrates the latest developments in material-oriented computational design, simulation, and production processes in architecture. The result is a bending-active structure made entirely of extremely thin, elastically-bent plywood strips.

Lamella Flock investigates new possibilities of creating freeform structures, which are constructed by the use of straight beam elements only. Challenges arise from the complex interdependency of beam elements in the structure, and the non-linear relationship between requirements of structure, material and production. They propose an approach that utilizes principles of self-organization. This led to the development of generative digital tools that are informed by the physical 1:1 output including structural analysis, production and material knowledge. These constraints loop back into the structures geometrical setup.
Using relative simple construction methods, combined with innovative design techniques for creating comlex geometry forms, could be a good strategy for the Western Gateway Design Project in Windham City. The outcome of such combination, as we can see from Lamella Flock, could be an exciting and fascinating structure which could easily become a symbol of the rapid developement of the city.
