Measured Drawings 1.1 Pine cone’ s Top and bottom views

Mearsuring Methord : Firstly, The pine cone is photographed and traced with top, bottom views. The it can be obverse red that each panel have a top point which is furthest point away form centre. By creating circular grids with same centre and different radius, each panels can be located on that grids. As can be seen, certain top points of some panels have chosen as radius of circular grid and any near top point of panel can be positioned and measured according to nearest circular grid.

Measured Drawings 1.2 Pine cone’ s evation and section

Measuring Methods: Similarly, the elevation and section plans are created by tracing the photographs of pine cone. How ever, in the section plan, the new grid is generated because the arrangement of panels are more linear. Also, different from locating panels with top point, the sections are positioned with its little point under each section. As is show, each point can be located perpendicular to the nearest liner grid. Also, the general width, heigh and distant between two edge of sections are measured

1.3 Pine’ s panels Measuring Method: The panels vary from top to bottom which can be separated from main structure. They can be divided into few groups with similar shape and sizes.

Analysis 1.2 Golden ratio

As is showed in the graph above, he golden ratio is applied in the formation of pine cone. When we rotate the golden ratio lines in clockwise way and anti-clockwise, the bottoms shapes of pine cone can be obversed. Also, when the golden ratio comes to the math, The Fibonacci Sequence is introduced. It can be used as a way to calculate the number of exact clockwise and anti-clockwise waves.

Anti-clockwise: 13 Clockwise: 8 Applied to pine Cone: As is showed on the left hand side, the two waves are rotated and intersected. Also, it can be obversed that the anti-clockwise waves are 13 while the clockwise waves are 8. Thus, it can be inspired that by culculating the number of waves and rotate the golden ratio lines, a sparial pine cone can be craeted.

Digital Model 1.3 Modelling process

1. Use Sweep 1 Rail to create a solic base 2. Creave a 2D shape of panels and sse Custom 2D to model an surface of an unopen pine cone 3.Use Curvedrive way to create a panelling grid 4.Use Curvedrive way to offset first grid points 5.Draw a triangular and extrude it. Then use Bend tool to creare some degrees 6. Finally, use Cunstom 3D to fit panels to the previous base

Sketch Model

1. Cut the timber board into some small panels

4, I am still testing how two panels can be connected.

2. I got few triangles in 5 different sizes. And I amd thinking hoe to create volum by useing 2D panes

5, And I am testing how the panels could be transfered.

3. I am tring to conpose some single volum that could be explored more spatial.

6, Also, by open with differnt dgrees, space are shaped.

Sketch Design #1

How does this respond to your personal space? People can be put inside a mini ecology atmosphere, which do have some structural supporter and slso have soft serfaces. Besides, people have capasity to adjust the sleeping position by it self and choose where to set the back position.

Sketch Design #2

How does this respond to your personal space? Human’s arm always works as main elements to support wholr head when sleeping. Inspired by pine cone structure, a steel structural inside with the application of bones allow the movement of arms. Also, the soft material provide comfortable surface. Besides, it can be designed according to human golden ratio which is indicated. And it mignt be composited by few section in accordance with golden ratio of human arms. 10
