COMBINATIONS OF MATRIX

WEEK 4

According to Kayla, computational tools broadens the search processes for further considerations. The candidate solutions should be chosen from further development. And the search method would use the combination of depth and best first. Instead of searching the right solution, we look for a solution that closest to the Gateway project.

The Spacing between the ribs is variable. The ribs far away is compressing and the nearby is re-leasing. This model maintains the densities of surfaces from differ-ent angles, If this model applied on the GATEWAY site, it could create a subspace in 3 seconds for visitors passing-by. The model itself doesnt have patterns, while visitors enjoy the surface motions, shadows and lights in pace with their own move-ment. The model emphasises the users’ visual experiences on the way between the urban and coun-tryside.

The case study of Banq restaurant ap-pears simple. The transformation of the developed one was aim to add shadows and light effects. Panels become thinner and hollowed so that increasing the pen-etrating of the lights. Comparing its archi-tectural effects, the initial characteristics of relesing and compression effects de-crease. For the materility, shinning metal structure is better in the considerations of wealthering and aesthetics.

Amanda Levette Architects HILLS PLACE

This case is not difficult to build model, while the essential point is, How does it reflect the architecture effects on the specific building? It changes facede structures and advancing the viewing points pentration. In the Gateway Project , this model will lose its panels functions. The fluied surface and the pointing direction needs more effects. It left many blankets to be filled.

PHYSICAL MODEL EXPLORATION

WEEK 6

PHYSICAL MODEL-CASE STUDY BANQ

This physical model is based on the definition of the Banq restaurant interiors. The lightweight timber has beautiful textures but the physical model is made by plywood. The plastic sheet is such a malleable material when heated, it needs to sit on a frame, when it cools down. its shape will follow the form of the frame. Thus, a wooden frame with contour of the gateway site was adopted and further experimented. The transparent material is flexible in high temporature so it cannot be cut and have perforation performances. As the trans-parent sheet is dull in shape, the light changing is not apparent, either. It can be bended and not to strech.
