INTRODUCTION Hey, I am Yilan, a third year student from UniMelb major in Architecture. I am interested in dancing and traveling around world. For me architecture is a combination of arts, history, philosophy, engineering and aethetics. Therefore architecture is so atrractive to me. I was introduced into digital design began with Rhino 3D and AutoCAD. I suppose digital design is the tendency of architecture design in the future, even now. These technologies make architests life easier and more efficient. This subject introduces the parametric design by Rhino3D plugin Grasshopper.

Silk Pavilion / MIT Media Lab

The highlight of this project is the integration of computational formfinding strategies and biologically inspired fabrication. Not only design form, structure, or theory from biology can be applied to design, but the fabrication process can be relied on biology. The pavilion was completed by live silkworms which were let loose upon the primary structure. Through it utilized the silkwormsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; instinctive preference for darker areas, the mottles skin balanced the scale-up version of insectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cocoons and a space for humans. The silk pavilion provides a new way of biomimicry that instead of technical fabrication, biology-instinctive actions accurately scale-up the spacing which solve the spacing issues for human being.

The sketch was drawn while we watching the sequence. The BLACK presents JETS gang and RED presents SHARK gang. The scene started at JETS gang and changed to SHARK gang member. The sketch intents to describe the changing and the interactions between these two groups. We think the horizontal linear shows the pattern of movement clearly. So these patterns like the different density (the length of lines, points) and separation or interaction were applied to the design form.

32 Algorithmic Sketches

From this sequence, the most impressed thing to us is the role of these young people and we start to think who becomes a gang and why these teenagers doing this. We suppose that during the growth teenagers need to find their orientation in this society and they require the sense of belonging. They are rebellious they are seeking a group to stay for. We were inspired by this condition. Therefore, our design intents to isolate a space for rebelliousness and adventures. The design occupies the most site, crossing from bus station to rivers side. It includes two layers to show the clashes between the different group. The design occupies the most site, crossing from bus station to rivers side.

The section of these two layers are both crimped which are controlled by points in grasshopper. Grasshopper also analyzed the radius of exploration. I was very surprised at the outcome. After changing few input data, we chose the two which have obvious tensions and exaggerations. Algorithmic Sketches 33

Gromm Michael-waiting for my life to become a cigarette advertisement fig.28 -2017-182x152 oil acrylic on canvas

Exaggeration is the first impression when we look at the painting. Micheal used the bright, with strong contraction colors to create an abstract, impressive and fuzzy feeling. The painting is a bit abstract to me. During the discussion with the teammate, I was trying to figure out what did he draw. But finally, rather than know what it is, we focus on its title. We suppose that cigarette advertisement presents fictitious that the appearance is always fancy, but inside is dilapidated. Back to the drawing, inside the perfect white surface is messy and aggressive. Like the cigarette and people who smock it, as time goes by, the cigarette gradually impacts on lungs till corrosion. This decaying process inspired me to consider why not let the architecture decay. Instead of permanent architecture, the architecture decay itself in a specific time period.

42 Algorithmic Sketches

In this project, we aim to achieve a sense of time faded that the object gradually terminates due to the passing of time. The caves or holes appearing on the architecture are generally weathering and decay until disappearing. The outpass is a glazing boxing that maintains the proof of the existing architecture before. This passing of time is specific to the users for marking these series of years, from the beginning till the void space. For example, the children who born in the construction finished year. How they build up a relationship with this architecture from their both of beginning until architecture disappearance. The time is passing through every human being but also the object. I’d like to think if the building delayed, would the memory still appear? When you looking at the void space, will it remain you the passing of time and the memories of the past.

The beautiful thing about architecture is that it can “tap into” an occupant’s past meaningful experiences through their senses and their emotion. The architecture also has the power set the stage for occupants to create new meaningful experiences — and memory plays a key role in helping to make all of this possible. Architecture makes ‘suggestible’ memories by creating the form to preserve the memory - like memorial. Instead, it also can bring new meaning

Surface Optimization:

The structure is composed of a large amount of individual cells. The cell must bend slightly to carry on the global curvature of form. However the cells cannot be too non-planar, will make it difficult to cut them from flat sheet. Using digital design to optimize the cells as planar as possible.

The both two projects used same structural-form theory. Both of them utilize the oldest form-finding technique for shell: the reverse hanging. It is interesting to compare how these two projects to solve the similar issues during the design and construction process. The shell structure itself is inclusive that it accepts a variety of form to define the volume. Moreover, the different materials using inspire me on the material choose for prototype. Comparing the Case Study 1 and 2, all of them start from simple, primary elements. By using parametric technique, they are assemblied to self-structural pavilion. Considering the process of fabrication, there are amount of various dimensions to produce. I am considering is it possible to merge the amount of sizes. Applying more same size primary structure, the more easy to label and less skill for fabrication. 4. www.evolo.us/architecture/catalyst-hexshell-matsys/ 5.http://matsysdesign.com/2013/02/27/shellstar-pavilion/ 44

FI NAL OUTCOME

The reverse-engineer project pavilion is reasonably successful achieved. In order to achieve this, i separated into main two main parts: ‘shell’ form & ‘cell’ surface. These two parts are as same as the real project design process. Basing on the plane, the suspension points is populated on it. Then the surface needs to be reconstructed to operate curves by the flexible points. Reversing the Boolean value is to achieve the reverse form. Later component Solver solves and applies the goals. These steps are used to find the form. Next is to create

specific surface for the form. Using Voronio and lofting the scaled core in average, the project finally finish the reverse practice. In next part, basing on this real project formula, I will extend and alter the function and analyze outcome to pick out the success and develop them to the exploration of technique development.

I suppose in this design we have not considered carefully about the interaction between pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behaviors, concept, and design. Meanwhile, how the form is generated has to be reanalyzed. The basic form we generated is from the action route of feral pigs which we assume it by ourselves. In the future development, we will analyze the real action route and picture simpler to the fundamental linework. In addition, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to apply the biomimicry into the design to achieve the more meaningful worth.

In the past couple of weeks, I came to understand the process of the parametric design and fabrication. Every study cases all start with the theory analysis, and how it can be applied to their concept or assist the construction problems. After the series study requirement, these analyses clear up my misunderstanding of the parametric design and fabrication. They are actually aiming to develop a better, faster and easier way to architecture design and construction. Especially, the parametric technique assists to deconstruct the complex form into standard customized pieces, which makes the production and construction process much more efficient, like the discussion in Part 5. And I am glad to experience the fabrication (prototype) process. It completes the experience from the ideal inspiration to reality. And I truly realize the benefits of the parametric technique to the fabrication. How waffle structure systems can be designed in few second by grasshopper. Before that, I normally do it by using

boolean difference. It is time-consuming and has high prediction error. The weekly design process inspires me a new way of thinking and analyzing architectures. And the weekly inspirations drivers encourage me to be creative that every time when I consider the concept, it drives me to the fresh field rather than normal concepts. However, how to apply the concept to design generation is still confusing me. The question of how to avoid the subjectivity while designing is recently what I am thinking during the design process. To conclusion the first six weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; design projects, I really enjoy every weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s task that pushes me to exploit potentialities. And I also strongly realize that architecture design requires a broader interest and knowledge to refresh my thinking and imagination.
