DOUBLE AGENT WHITE

GENETATION & FBRICATION Double Agent White designed by Marc Fornes is a continuous surface composed of an intersection of a set of unique spheres, which achieved a maximum degree of morphological freedom with a minimum amount of components. Although it is a prototype piece, it is perfect for my Case Study 2.0, due to its abstract and fun form and interesting way of Fabrication. By intersecting spheres, Doube Agent White naturally created a shelter space for customers. As for the fabrication , this project is the first of a new series of fabricated projects which investigates a double agent system based on two parallel but divergent sets of distributed agents describe the surface condition. The first thing is a controlled marcro which generates the overall geometry with the minimum number of elements able to be cut within specified flat sheets of aluminum. While the second involved a much more expressive set of higher resolution and morphologies that crafts aperture as ornament. Then, these two sets then inform each other simultaneously, together with the logic of assembly mobility. A s a result, the structure adheres to myriad of formal and technical constrains that provide a dynamic structure of spacial nuance. In order to achieve the structural continuity, the developable parts of surfaces were firstly oriented in order to provide a strong rigidity of the project. Then, it was resolved to be formed by numbers of fouble curved surface to achieve the structural continuity, visual interplay and logical efficiency.

SITE ANALYSIS
A s a branch of Yarra River, Merri Creek flows through the northern suburbs of Melbourne. It begins near Wallan north of Melbourne and flows south unitil it joints the Yarra River at Dights Fall. By observing the site, we found that the water condition of Merri Creek is very concerned in some of the area. According to Merri Creek Management Community, it is polluted by heavy metal which caused by factories upstream. As a result, the water condition of Merri Creek becameeeven worse than Yarra River. So in order to make a contrast of water condition between them ,and make people aware of the concerned water condition of Merri creek for an educational purpose, our site would be the intersection between Merri Creek and Yarra River 62
