2017 - current

In the Digital design study, I learn many new things and design

Precedent Study

Bachelor of Design

skills from lecture and workshop, such as 3D print, the use of grasshopper and unreal engine. Furthermore, the guidance of 03

tutor and teacher in workshop help me a lot to understant and Skills:

using those software. Thoese skill also is great helpfull for my

The exterior of Serpentine gally pavilion is a very simple enclose retangle structure, and in its centre has a interior open garden. The design of the roof is projecting inwards from the walls, and there are benches under the roof for visitors to have rest.

In the process of my modelling, I mainly adopt loft and offsetsurface to make the module in Rhino.

The key concept of this project is to learn the importance of therehold. The threshold in this architecture is an important parts. It connects one space to another. For example, in this architecture, pathway between exterior doors and interior doors has play the role of threshold.

Task 1

Surface and Waffle

Every single 2D pattern has 4 hollowing out triangles on its surface, and those little triangles can allow the light to come the waffle structure

This side is made by 3D pyramid-shapped patterns Every single pyramid-shaped pattern has two sides hollowing out triangle patterns that also let the light to enter the structure This side is made by 2D patterns which have a contrast with 3D patterns in another side

My final surface decision is 1.1 and 2.4 and others are test for my decision. For the panelling, the final decisionis 3.4 which is the combination of 3.1 and 3.2, and befor that I print the unrollsrf of 3.3, since the patterns is too complicate and small, and also some part is hard to fold and stick, so I did not choose 3.3 as my final model pattern.

SOLID AND VOID

Platonic octahedron is used as main pattern of the 3D model. The exterior of booleaned geometry is simple square that can make a large and open space

The exterior of the 3D print structure is “L� shape

This is a 150x150x150 bounding box, and it shows that the size of the 3D print model is approximately 8% of the box

The interior structure of geometry create many darker surface

The final decision of grid Manipulation for my 3D print model is 1.4, and others are test for my model. For the platonic octahedron distribution, I perfer the regualr geometry distirtudion so I finally choose 2.4. I also choose 3.4 as my final modle, because the size of every octahedron varies from big to small on the regular basis compare with 3.1, and the distribution is very regular and concise compare with 3.2 and 3.3.

Computational Process

The firest group is to set up a cub

the second main group is making the interior Platonic Octahedron distribution

16

according to platonic Octahedron distribution, this group mainly is making the interior polygons

Boolean Process

Step1-bake the cube and octahedron from Grasshopper

Step 4- Get half cube shape from step 3

Step2-using Booleandifferent to boolean the interior polygons

Step 5- same process of step 3

Step 3-using another box to booleandiffernet

Step 6- final boolean geometry 3D model

Queen Victoria Garden Pavilion

20

This pavilion have three main different highth entres which show the hierachy, and can allow visitors coming different direction .The exterior surface is consisted by different size of close and hollowing hexagons which can provide vistors with different light and visual effect. Inside of the pavilion has differenet seating place for people have rest , and centre of the avilion provide a place for an evening quartet performance. The pavilion has waffle structure to support it.

This pavilion adopt three main materials(glass, timber, marble). The exterior is made by white painted wood which give poeple a light feeling, and waffle structure is use woodcolored wood. Between the exterior surface and waffle structure has glass level. It can be a good measure for water proof and still keeping light effect. seatingplace and ground are made by white marble.

This is the final desicion. The ground pattern refects the exterior surface pattern. Those llittle patterns help three thresholds make good transition between outside landscape and the whole pavilion. It alos can show a way for vistors coming.
