Tania Putri Kanadi

I am a third year architecture student studying in University of Melbourne. I was born and raised in Indonesia, and I came to Melbourne 4 years ago to pursue tertiary studies.

I have done other design studios in previous semesters, and in all of them, my designs were mostly developed through the more traditional hand-drawn methods. I have limited experience with CAD programs, however, I know its significance in the architecture industry is growing and as such, to learn it is necessary. I have been looking forward to Design Studio: Air as it aims to introduce and develop skills in handling the Grasshopper software. My aim would be to master this software and polish my skills as an architect.

A.1Design Futuring

In today’s society, inventions such as televisions and social media have encouraged a society that prioritises high living standards. We blindly chase this goal, unaware of the sacrifices of the planet itself. To fuel our desire, renewable energies are being used up 25% faster than the rate they can recover. In other words, it is unsustainable. If it continues, sooner or later, we will reach a point where it cannot be fixed1.

This faculty building is built by the architecture Denton Corker Marshall (DCM). It is a faculty that stands at the western edge of the University of Technology, Sydney. With a limited budget, DCM has to cope with a monolithic building, and only playing with its facade.

The building focuses on reaching new standards in commercial buildings’ sustainability ratings, while also expressing the function of the building.

The facade of this building plays a significant role in expressing the architect’s ideas. The binary design is taken from the faculty’s function, to collect and generate data, and in addition, spells out the faculty’s name in binary language. It is torn and pulled at some places, allowing light to illuminate the research spaces, and particularly the social space on the ground floor, and it saves about 10-15% of operational energy. The facade extends outwards to the walkway, creating a covered path for the pedestrians from which they can view the social space on ground floor. It then opens up at the entrance to the building to invite them inside.

Enhancing the idea of data collecting, it has an array of renewable energy generators on its rooftop. Among them are solar thermal concentrators which are rarely used in commercial context today. The building itself is described as a ‘living laboratory’ as it collects data (energy) and displays them in real-time for the inhabitants to view2.

10 Cal Tower is located on Bangsaen beach, Thailand. It is a playground built by the architects Supermachine studio. The studio aims to reinterpret what a playground is. Instead of a simple traditional facility aimed for children, Supermachine studio interprets a playground as a place where friends, families, both adults and children can meet at.

It changes how one think of something. It goes back to the basics and reinterpret what is really important in something. In today’s society where people meet and talk online, Supermachine aimed

this structure to encourage meetings and the start of a new relationship.

In the small space of 7.80 x 10.26m2 lawn, Supermachine designed a concrete labyrinth that has 10 complex routes people could take to explore it. Supermachine uses this labyrinth to encourage people meeting others and communicate as they explore the structure. It challenges the usual computerised culture that has developed in Thailand.

Recently, trees are planted beside it and branches are to be allowed to go through the labyrinth voids. Supermachine wants the community to communicate not only with others, but also with nature.

The 10 Cal Tower is a design that is aimed for the community, and it one that is accepted by the community. People of various ages now go to this tower to do various acitivities. It acts as a landmark, shade and playground. The space that was previously neglected has now become crowded3.

A.2Design computation

design is a complicated thing in architecture. Many factor can affect the outcome of the design, and these factors may prove to be constricting or even contrasting to each other.Design thus requires the architect to often sacrifice a feature to fulfil another, and the process of deciding which is more important or how much should they sacrifice is often a complicated and time-consuming process. Hence, the use of computer-aided design is critical in assisting architects in design process4.computer has enabled us to continuously formulate outcomes that emerge from varying design factors in a short amount of time5.unlike in the past where computer is merely used for computerisation, a process to represent the final product that we have imagined in our head to computers, computer is now being used increasingly as a tool for negotiating contrasting features and exploring more complex forms previously hard to achieve with pen and paper6.

Page 11

This project explores the extent of computer aided design in creating morphological structure which emulate the shapes of cell membranes. It studies the effect of varying the diameter, depth and wall thickness of the structure to create diverse sets of outcomes.

Here, computation displays how it can further develop geometries which are hard to represent by simultaneously changing the result as the factors that affect it, namely tension, material characteristics, etc. changes.

As the prototype uses material pulled by tension, it is problematic for architects as tensioned materials often behaves unpredictably. Fabrication process is complex to create a hyper-toroidal structure, often needing a custom-built CNC machine. By using an already calculated mesh and just printing and attaching them to anchors, it eases the construction process.

Sean Ahlquist uses a Java-based programming environment processing software to do the design form-finding process. It is by using these programming softwares that the materials of the prototype are able to achieve double curvatures that are diverse from each other.

As the architect was able to have a circular communication from and towards the computer, he is able to input to the computer the characteristics of textile material and thus allow the computer to generate exactly how the physical model will look like7.

This structure is an installment by Skylar Tibbits for MIT’s 150th anniversary of its Festival of Arts, Science, and Technology (FAST), called the Voltadom.Using new computer aided design softwares and emerging fabrication methods, many potentials are being created in design and construction industries. More intricate structures can be built relatively easily as programs enable fast calculation and simulation of our design thinking.

The project aims to highlight the ability of assembly information being embedded to the material itself, and hence transforming the construction industry. Tibbits explored this process called the ‘self-assembly’. As Oxman (2014) has stated, modelling the material itself has reverted architects back to the time when they were still the master builder. Architects now don’t simply design a form, but also understand and solve how that form is going to be achieved. I agree with Tibbits as she claims that this self-assembly process and material design is the future of architecture8.

A.3Design Composition

By developing an algorithmic thinking, architects can more effectively use design programming to solve complex design problems. Different from pen and paper sketching, when one explores the different digital forms in computer, it is called algorithmic sketching. Architects now start to develop algorithmic thinking and starting to design in computers.In this new space where architects now work, it allows flexible and adaptive design. In other words, parametric design. In his work ‘The Building of Algorithmic Thought’, 9Peters argue that computers for design process are going to be used naturally. I agree with this thinking. As humans will choose what is more efficient for them, the method would definitely save an immense amount of time in the designing process. There are things currently that we still design outside the computer. Things such as shadows and atmospheres are often shown by making physical models and sketches to make it more realistic or invoke emotions. I do think, with the rapidly developing technology, that in the future these small things may also be doable in computer through better renders and simulations. Thus the study of algorithmic thinking and parametric design is critical in architecture. Architects are able to be the master builder again as they now design not only form but also how materials interact and how it should be assembled.

The ICD Aggregate Pavilion, built in the University of Stuttgart, Germany, is claimed to be the first architectural structure built in the manner of a granular system. It is a research project which aims to realise a vertical structure by studying how granules interact with its environment, its binding and friction properties.Researcher Dierichs and professor Menges commenced the research of granular particles such as sand and snow. Utulising the results of the research, granule particles are fabricated with molds and robots to create diverse set of particles to be experimented on. With the assistance of computers, the granules may be embedded the programs to create geometric properties not found in natural sand formation. Programmed synthetic particles then allows the architect to create vertical structures from granular system that defies the natural angle of repose.

The Pavilion explores a new type of architecture which can now be used by others, called aggregate architecture. Previously it would not be able to create an enclosure. Moreover, as the pavilion does not use binding materials, the pavilion was easily rebuilt a few times in a different form by robots in the span of a few hours.I think this property enhances the efficiency sustainability of construction. It is really important that it can be disassembled easily as it is able to be reused at different locations and appear in different forms. This adaptability makes it suitable in today’s dynamic environment and it reduces waste of construction.The ICD aggregate pavilion promises great potential if combined with textiles or other material which would add the waterproofing property to it and enable more types of structure to be built with granular structure10,11.

The FAZ summer pavilion is a project that emerges from the studies of responsive structure in ICD University of Stuttgart. The study looks at the hygroscopic capacity of a structure, in this case, wood. Hygroscopic capacity is a material’s ability to absorb and store moisture and also release it back into the atmosphere. The research looks at the thickness, length and width of a material as the basic parameters of the design and enables the structure to open and close on its own without the use of electricity efficiently. Through the use of algorithmic programs, they were also able to use only the wood to hold up its own weight and designed how each opening should be to form the pavilion.This project utilises the properties that nature has. It created a highly adaptable structure, which could close in a matter of seconds in case it rains with minimal material needed to construct. The wood laminates can also be programmed to close when it is dry and bends when it is humid. Meaning, further exploration of this project can lead to very sustainable skyscrapers, acting as an independently moving enclosure that blocks sunlight to a certain degree12, 13, 14, 15.

A.4ConclusionIn conclusion, design is highly adaptable and rapidly changing with the inflow of new technologies. As architects, we should utilise the underlying potential of these technologies to create designs that suit our current needs and environments. We should move ahead from how we merely recreate what is already in pen and paper into computer-computerisation, but rather to use computers to assist in our design thinking and process-computation. Computation after all, does not mean that we are being replaced by computers. The fastest computers still cannot rival human brain, and it is human that feeds commands to computers. However computer is faster and more precise, and it is exactly that that we should make use to further our designs. With the mastery of algorithmic thinking, we are one step closer to being the master builder that architects in the pasts were.

A.5Learning outcomesBefore this subject, I have only known computer aided design as something which

helps computerise our sketches. I was not aware of its capability to program complex commands to robots how the elements should be individually made and

assembled, and how significantly it helps to make a sustainable and efficient structure. I understand now just how big of a part computer plays in designing process.

The fractals were very easy to make, and very beautiful to see. The image on the right resembles a snowflake. The way it recreate nature is what made me think its successful.

I love the result created with image sam-pler here. The spheres’ diameter are varied nicely, and the way it collides with another to form walls were nice to see. It has this maze-like characteristic because the smaller spheres created enough path for people to wander in.

The lofting of three curves created very flex-ible surfaces, but not so flexible that it would just flop down into a pile of fabric. It’s like that of a rubber glove, it looks as if it has this springy trait.

Page 27

I call this the Voronoi tower. It’s made with 5 tiered circles with points. The points are then used for voronoi. I like how delicate it looks and the shadow it casts.

The octree function created this video game feel to the result, but most of the results come out similar to each other. However, the oc-tree would be very useful in creating massing for form finding.

B.1: Research FieldsPatterning

I have chosen to explore patterned architecture and experiment on its parameters to see the limits of the designs. The following B2 section will aim to understand how to differ from the original pattern by changing the datas involved.The chosen project is OMA's McCormick Tribune. The implication of this exploration is how much components I can play with, as the grasshopper definition is quite short. Furthermore, the patterned surface itself is flat and does not explore other areas such as lofted objects, etc. thus the exploration may seem similar throughout.

B.2: Case study 1.0OMA - McCormick Tribune

Exploring of parameters

In this section grasshopper components used in the creation of the original design will be altered and experimented to its limits to create varying results.The McCormick tribune is located in Chicago, USA. Its design came from a long forgotten masterplan of the famous architect Mies van der Rohe in the 1940s16. One of the wall has patterns which uses the image of Mies van der Rohe himself as a form of appreciatoin of his work in determining the pattern.Thus in this section, the said wall section will be subjected to different parameters in order to generate potentially different results. The latter part of the section will also explore how the grasshopper definition may be blended with definition of another buildings's, and from all this 4 will be selected as per a set of criteria to be the most successful.

Page 32

1. Surface used 2. Surface frames 3. Image Sampler

The surface component is chosen mainly because it is the initial base on which all the elements will be located. Changing the shapes of the surface will likely create significant change in the results.

The image sampler will be explored through reducing and enlarging the size of the image and adjusting the surface frames to fit the size. It will show how abstracted and detailed an image sampler can be used.

The Surface frames will determine how the elements are located on the surface.Iterations will test on maximising and minimising the 'u' and 'v' value of the SFrames.The 'u' represents the number of frames in the x axis, and 'v' represents the number of frames in the y axis.

3. Image Sampler 4. Curves used 5. Calculation results

This section will explore the addition of curves and 3D solids to the group, also adjusting the 'B' input of the multiplication to ensure all curves are shown.The 'B' input multiplies the brightness value of the image sampler and allowing a higher number that can be used for the index of the curves.

The calculation (in the original case, a multiplication component), determines how the pattern will differ from the original data. I will explore the use of different calculation components, changing the 'B' and 'A' input, and also removing the integer component to have decimal results.

Modified definition 1

This definition takes from Herzog and De Meuron and De Young's Museum's characteristic that moves the initial curves to a certain distance with factor derived from an equation

that is y*x_0.1. I am trying to extrude the patterns upwards and create a 'punched' wall with holes which

are the patterns of the McCormick Tribune.

Page 38

Page 39

Modified definition 2

I tried to add a scale component to the moved curves to have a tunneling effect to it. As I placed the scaling center on the Surface Divide component points to ensure the curves

are oriented the same way, I was hoping for a neater loft. However, the curves may be too complicated for the loft component to understand unlike the simple circles used in Herzog and De Meuron and De Young's Musem and so the lofted surface created are

twisted and not in order. Still, it created quite a beautiful render that I like.

Page 40

Successful Iterations

I imagine this design as a clustered enclosure with patterned holes to let lights in. I really liked this idea as it reminds me of an observatorium. The lights that comes in through the pattern can tell a story depending on what patterns are there, and the light will move throughout the day and can project a moving image. The potential of being able to tell a story through it is why I deemed it successful.

In this iteration, I liked how the 3D objects are mixed together with the original curves. It allows less light to get through but it can be used to control light as well with how they are arranged. The 3D objects also add dynamicity to the plain surface.

B.3: Case study 2.0Iwamoto Scott - MoMa/PS1 Reef

Reverse engineering

In this section I will attempt to analyse the original design and from that recreate the patterning using grasshopper. As its name suggest, it is a design inspired by ocean reefs. Iwamoto Scott aims to use the porous property of an anemone to create a shading system that can control the amount of light going through17. The design creates a lofted surface that changes from rectangles to circles arranged in a rectangle grid that is shifted to have an alternating pattern.

Page 46

PS1 reef’s design is a dynamic surface held up by cables to hang above the people, creating the ‘anemone clouds’ that protects them from the sun.

When seen from above like in Fig. 24, there seems to be a pattern on which the anemones are arrangeed in. The squares are shifted every row to create an alternating pattern. I think this will be the hardest part to reverse engineer in grasshopper.

From the pattern, fabric falls down and turns into circles that has varying length. This can be done with lofting rectangles and circles, then attaching them to a surface using boxmorph.In the following pages, I will document the reverse engineering process in detail.

voronoi on culled points

This was the initial surface that I chose to work on. It is flat unlike

the PS1 reef and so it is not a good remake of the original. However it serves as a base for the next try.

I used cull pattern (true, false) to create alternating points. At first, the

points were arranged in branches and the culled pattern would not

work well, but after the points data was flatten the cull pattern worked.

I used voronoi on the points in hope of creating the alternating pattern the PS1 reef has in Fig. 24. However the pattern generated formed diamond shapes and it

was arranged very regularly.

In reaction to the previous results, I created a curve to begin with. By using curves in the beginning I figure it would

be a more dynamic surface. using range and tween curves I created a grid to accommodate for the CCX.

Like before, I culled the pattern to create alternating points. This time I tried using rectangles on those points to create the brick-like pattern. It does work, however the rectangles do not touch each other.

Going back to using voronoi, on the curved surface as well it still

generates similar pattern.

Here I applied the voronoi on the CCX points itself to see how it would generate the grids. At first I though of using this and

trimming the rectangles, But I realised it would take too long and the pattern

created will still not form the brick pattern.

Since I couldn’t make the alternating pattern, I tried to solve the geometry that

they have used first. I’m using a lofted curve this time, and I’ve shaped it to look like it has been hanged on four corners.

Unlike before, I use divide domain in this surface to create the grids for the

geometries to fit on. The surface box will determine how deeo the geometries

will go. I realised that it is too short here compared to the photos.

With the base geometry, I’ve applied it to the surface to resemble the photos. It is

still different as I made the surface box too thinly and it does not have varying depth.

This is the base geometry that would be used for the box morphing. it replicates the MOMA

I am using 4 curves to create a more undulating surface for the surface

I have tried with divide domain and using its normal output as the input for the surface box height, however the

surface box remained quite flat. Hence I added an image sampler as the

input for the surface box height, and multiplied it to make it more noticeable.

Here is the final result. It has the undulating surface with varying depth of the

anemone. The only problem unsolved here is how to create the alternating

pattern explored earlier in this section.

using the flip matrix, I managed to make a set of curves within the

Using the previous culled points and the shatter components, the curves can be

divided into segments that resembles the cells of the MOMA PS1 reef structure. With

more cull components and CCX, a grid with more varied length of cells can be made.

The area component gives the centroid od each cells and allowed me to use them

as the center of the circles, which are then moved up to facilitate the lofting.

Here is the final result. After it is lofted, I expected it to have the PS1 reef shape, however the lofting twisted which I think

may be the result od different point location, but I am not sure how to fix it.

To fix the twisting, I decided to loft it differently. Using shift list on the points

created to align the points on the circle and rectangle better and make a line.

Then using thoose lines created I have lofted them. The result is not smooth and the base have gaps since they don’t form rectangles.

This time, I used the extruded rectangles as the target box for the box morph,

building on what I’ve tried on the previous page. Again, it did not work as the breps overlap with each other not staying within their boundaries.

To fix the previous problem, I tried using sweep2 so that the bottom would not have gaps in between. The bottom is

The components I used here is similar to before, but I realised in the previous trials, one row is lofted well but the next one is not. Thus, I separated the rows so that I can flip the curve of the rows that were problematic. And then the same

The surface component is chosen mainly because it is the initial base on which all the elements will be located. Changing the shapes of the surface will likely create significant change in the results.

The calculation is the input for the height of the surface box. Changing the calculation will result in differing heights between iterations.

The Surface divide points will provide the points on the surface that the boxmorph will base on.Iterations will test on maximising and minimising the 'u' and 'v' value of the SFrames.The 'u' represents the number of frames in the x axis, and 'v' represents the number of frames in the y axis.

Successful Iterations

The iteration have a lot of holes that lets air penetrates inside. It is visually appealing and quite complex to the eye. I find its shape that resembles a tunnel creates potential for many things such as a covered pathway.

This iteration is made by using a sphere as the base surface for the boxmorph. It has high porosity throughout and make a container-like shape. I am thinking that this can be developed to a flower pot for nurseries and hanging vines.

connection joints

The second version takes note of the shadow pattern formed by the geometry into account. I divided the geometry vertically to several segments with spaces in between. By doing so I intended to create slivers of light and shadow. The connections I used here are long sticks that would connect the edges together. The issue here is that I've laser cut the geometries in surfaces, not polylines. It turns out that the laser cut would register surfaces with a cross in the middle to show that it has an area. As a result the surfaces were cut into 4 pieces each.However, The connections show promise if fabricated in 1:1 scale. Although I feel that they can be improved to be efficient joints that would not require nails to hold them. Lastly, I could not figure how to input the material thickness into the geometry itself, thus the cut segments are very thin.

Page 71

connection joints

This is the first fabrication attempt. My idea was to use etched cuts on the plywood to create a surface that can be easily folded with minimal connections. The connections were meant to be placed in the gaps made between the folded geometries and has a flap to connect the geometries together. However, since the etch cut was very hard to cut, it was a failure. It could have worked if the cut material was thinner, such as plastics.

connection joints

Page 72

The third version is the one I think is most sucessful. There is porosity, and the shadows formed are also quite alluring. The fabrication however, is still a failure.I could not offset the geometries to get the holes and so I've used Weaverbird picture frame. Since the result is a mesh, it could not be unrolled.Furthermore, The geometries' surfaces were not planar and so the unrolled brep created intersecting lines that had to be removed. Therefore the physical model has a gap formed on the corner that has the intersecting lines.

Overall, this design is the most sucessfull, but improvements still need to be made in terms of making the surfaces planar, improving the connection joints, and fixing grasshopper problems for easier fabrication.

This section will develop and finish the previous prototype designs and present it in a way that considers the brief and place i.e. Ceres Market.

Brief and site analysis

Studio AIR, 2016-1, Project Brief:

“[…] when all frontiers have been tamed and devel-oped, when all exotic tribes and spe-cies have been winkled out of their hidden crannies and firmly tagged, where after all can

one look for the wild, the unknown? When all natural wonders have been sci-entifically investigated, and all ancient monuments have become tourist attractions, where can one seek the numinous, the sacred? In a world contracted by motor travel and telecommuni-

cations, how can one experience vastness?”16

Aim:

“To create a structure that connects the market area to other areas.”

When I was at the site, I feel as if each of the areas are not well connected. The nursery and market in particular is forgotten after passing through it and the landscape is empty in

a few spaces.A lot of urban people come to Ceres market to buy plants and organic groceries and sit

down to have lunch, while the people who live in the nearby areas uses the nurseries, gro-ceries and playspace to play with kids.

I want to create a design that can connect the areas people often go to with other areas to unite the Ceres community more.

I’ve decided to create the pavilion only on one place marked above. I think that this place is suitable as it shades the people who gethers there and also it invites people in and con-nects the market and nursery area to the other oreas.

To fix the problem with the flat prototype, I decided to use arches as a base

skeleton. Also, using the Arc SED I was able to make the height vary.

Like the reverse engineer definition, I applied the same method to create 2 sets

of curves to enable the shifted pattern.

The curves are then shattered and lofted to create individual segments of

rectangles. While doing this step I realised that the rectangles will not be planar

and it will be hard to fabricate. Another version will be explained in the following

pages, however I decided to develop this further since while the rectangles are

not planar, I may be able to fabricate just the geometries embedded to it.

Moving on, the segments are divided to create 6 points each and they will form the base polygon of the extruded geometry.

They are scaled to the center of each.

There was a problem since I could not find the normal of each geometries using evaluate surface. So for alternative, a 3pt

plane is used with 3 of each segments’ points which are selected using cull pattern. It succeded and the move

component worked to create varying heights according to the image sampler. I want to use this image sampler to input something from Ceres market, however

other than an image of recyling logo or organic growing, I have no idea.

Next, I exploded both the base polygon and the moved polygon to get the

vertices of each. These vertices mde it possible to create lines that connect both

and create the skeleton of the form.

sweep 2

I chose to use sweep 2 since I have all of the inputs ready. Rail 1 - the base polygon; rail 2 - the moved polygon; section lines - lines formed by connecting the vertices

of the polygons. However, the sweep turned out horribly. I suspect that it is a problem of data structure, however I am not sure where the problem lies.

loft

Since the sweep2 failed, I am using loft with the base polygon and the moved polygon as the curve inputs. It worked

for one set of the polygons, but did not for the other. The other resulted in nulls when viewed in panels, and it is again a problem of data structure.

I’ve resolved the data structure problem here, so the loft of the other set of curves worked. It seems that I simplified one of the outputs that resulted in a different

set of data. It has the shape that I want but I was still worried about the surface not being planar and so I tried a new

approach with more rigid base surface.

Here, from the arches, I formed polylines from points and used sweep2 to create a rigid surface and cull pattern is used

since there was an excess segment.

I am using surface split and ungroup to ensure that the segments are individual

surface, so that when divided curve and polyline is applied it will form

individual polygons that do not collide with another. The result was not how I

expected though. The polylines formed a continuous line throughout the surface.

The planes were used again to split the extruded geometries and sort

list to select the lower shape.

Since the geometry is already deconstructed, I can scale them

individually and use it to create a hole in the middle. This model however have quite large gaps between

each elemtns and I think it will make it harder for fabrication since long connecting joints should be made.

To solve the previous problem, I used the same method to definition 1. This one fits better and the heights of the extrusion was connected to an image sampler.

B.7: Learning Objectives and

Outcomes

Page 90

Learning objectives and outcomes

Objective 1: “Interrogating a brief” by considering the process of brief formation in the age of optioneering enabled by digital technologies

- When understanding the brief, I have thought first of what can I design that is unachiev-able using normal pen and paper sketches.

Objective 2: developing “an ability to generate a variety of design possibilities for a given situation” by introducing visual programming, algorithmic design and parametric modelling with their intrinsic capacities for extensive design-space exploration

- Using visual programming, I have been able to create numerous iterations that can lead to infinite design possibilities.

Objective 3: developing “skills in various three-dimensional media” and specifically in com-putational geometry, parametric modelling, analytic diagramming and digital fabrication

- During the learning process, I have improved significantly in dealing with parametric mod-elling, and have also tried digital fabrication using laser cut to know its advantage and shortcomings.

Objective 4: developing “an understanding of relationships between architecture and air” through interrogation of design proposal as physical models in atmosphere

- In my design I have faced various problems trying to understand how the structure will hang, how it will stand, and how it will connect with other elements. I think this is the rela-tionship of architecture and air. Each elements need joints that will allow them to be what they are designed to be.

Objective 5: developing “the ability to make a case for proposals” by developing critical thinking and encouraging construction of rigorous and persuasive arguments informed by the contemporary architectural discourse.

- I feel like I am lacking in this department. My concept for the proposal does not have a strong idea that connects it to the space itself. The whole design was more of an experi-mentation with visual programming. I did outline the issues with the designs but I was not able to fix some.

Page 91

Objective 6: develop capability for conceptual, technical and design analyses of contem-porary architectural projects

- visual programming and algorithmic thinking has allowed me to create complex designs that leans to contemporary architectures.

Objective 7: develop foundational understandings of computational geometry, data struc-tures and types of programming

- Throughout the course I have learned grasshopper significantly. The reverse engineering exercise in particular was one that forces me to find ways to create a geometry and scans the whole definition to fix data structures.

Objective 8: begin developing a personalised repertoire of computational techniques sub-stantiated by the understanding of their advantages, disadvantages and areas of applica-tion.

- While developing the design, I have started to use several components without difficulty to form various geometries. Sometimes they still fail to form what I had in mind however I think it is the beginning of a thorough understanding of the components.

B.8: Appendix: Algorithmic Sketches

Page 94

Appendix: Algorithmic sketches

Using both spin force and point charge at the same points created a series of spirals branching out and colliding that creates this dune-like curves.

The piping of the field lines created a pavil-ion of delicate tubes. The design is complex and I like the circular arrangement.

I like this because the spin forces intersect and go throught other lines. It also created this smaller circles in the middle.

Page 95

This design is an extruded curve from gener-ated field lines. The extruded curves forms this maze and small spaces inside. This was too complex, but using simpler field lines, I might be able to create a floor plan draft of a design.

unroll brep

We could not project the circles onto the 3 dimensional brep. As an

alternative we unrolled the brep first to make it 2 dimensional.

Laser cut panels.The panels were unrolled in grasshopper and only etched to allow folding. We realised that this was only achievable because we are using boxboard. The final presentation needed plywood so a connection needs to be designed for the panels.

The panels are joined at the end with tabs. This was a problem because the tabs cover the holes that needed to be poked through.

Page 107

Prototype 1 - dowel connections

The circles were too close to the edges that they tear when the dowel is poked through. The geometries also did not tilt to create the curve of the model.

Prototype 2 - wire connectionsHere, wires are used because it curves better. In real construction, what can replace the wires may be bamboo.

Page 108

The other problem aside form the different angles was that some of the geometries do not intersect nicely. In the Figure on the right, you can see that the intersection is off and this cannot be clipped.We considered slotting the two together by making cuts but it was complicated and undoable.

Page 109

Another connection was generate where the geometries will be scaled up and potentially clipped on the intersections like the figure on the left. This however still need a clip designed for each of the intersections since the angles will be different.

Testing the combination of patterned geometry and plywood arch

The first problem we encountered was the placement of the geometries.As the unrolled brep was not cut at the same place each time the geometries had to be connected with tape first and placed between the arches to ensure the wedges fit .

There were two types of arches, one with plywood and another with perspex.The image shows the first combination. This was not ideal since the shadows created by the patterned geometries would be obstructed.

Everything put together with masking tape

This one does not look very appealing. The goal of the holed geometries was to show the structural qualities so pairing it with plywood will work better.

The main model is the patterned geometries with perspex arches as it represents Ceres market better. The shadows would also be more interactive for the visitors.

Page 118

Shadow StudyThe fabrication includes our exploration of shadow. The two versions of the model is created for this purpose. The shadow is our main focus since it can be interactive (changing at different times of day) and representative (the leafy patterns on the panels).

1st version: This version was made to highlight the structural properties of the model. The shadows produced by this version is very clear and outlines the shape of the geometry.

2nd version: The main concern was how clear the leaf shadows will be, and as the image show the panels do produce some clear shadows.

C.4: Learning Objectives and

Outcomes

Page 126

Objective 1: Discuss the learning objectives of the studio and your performance in relation-ship to them

- I feel that I have performed considerably well throughout the semester. I have developed good parametric skill as well as trying to create impactful concept during the studio.

Objective 2: Discuss how the design project affected your knowledge of architecture and the roles of computation in the design process.

- By observing others as well as during my own time I have learned many different ways of interpreting a brief and also the importance of embedding computational aspects of the site to the design to achieve a well grounded design.

Objective 3: Are you able to create, manipulate and design using parametric modelling?

- Yes. I feel that I have improved significantly in using grasshopper to create models. I am starting to understand how many of the components work. Although this is good, I still think my parametric modelling skills are lacking in terms of problem solving.

Objective 4: Can you use computational methods to design and fabricate bespoke tectonic assemblies?

- Making the connections for the model proves to be difficult as the connections need more attention to details. So far the model turned out fine, however I lack the means to create more complex connections that will be able to allow me to design more freely.

Learning objectives and outcomes

Page 127

-The model has too many gaps letting light in for the patterns to make shadows.

-If each geometries are unique, rather than trying to make them similar, it would be better to highlight their uniqueness

-The scale is too big

Feedback

Potentials

-The gaps can be filled in with curved plywood to create a closed environment.

-Each of the geometries can be varied so that each have different heights and different sizes of the hole at the top. It would also contribute to letting less light in to create clearer shadows The geometries can also be flipped to extrude inside.

-The scale can be adjusted so that it is not too big. Because Ceres is a non-profit organisation, smaller scale would be preferable and more practical.
