WEEK 9 – Project 2

Project 1 Node Concept

-- Pre-fabricated 5m x 5m Node

- Original activity – drawing

- Concept – Layers

(drawings are made up of

different layers)

Concept and Emergence

Physical Experiment

- Needed a subject that is made up of layers

- Needed monitor the relationship between the layers

- Decided to use half an onion and boil it in varying

amounts of water at different heats

-Key Findings

- Outer layers began to discolour and become

transparent

-Subject was seen to open up around a point (not

middle)

Physical Experiment

- Picked up the idea of transparency and carried out the

experiment again to then take apart the layers and analyse.

Concept

- At this stage I had my concept of layers

and this new idea of transparency

- Using the layers and transparency

could mean that the building could be

quite lucid and not have a definite form

that would be “concrete”PIC OF NEW CONCEPT

Concept

- Therefore I had my concept and a rough idea of

how I wanted the building to use transparency.

- But how was I to generate a form? If I was to have a

subject manipulated by forces such as wind or other

elements on site, what would this form be? A cube? A

rectangle? Would the emergent form be simple a

deformation of one of these basic forms?

Concept and Emergence

- I went back to my initial thoughts on how I could use emergence to generate a form and

decided to try and model forces on the site such as the wind and human traffic etc

Software Experiments

- Modelled particle flows in the

dominant wind directions on

site at the approximate speeds.

Yellow – Summer wind directions

Red – Winter wind directions

0range – both summer and winter

directions

Software Experiments

-I froze the scene at the point where the

intersected and picked approximately 20

points to track

- I imported these points (to scale) into

Revit and using massing began to bridge

these points in a way that would form a

shell

-This would allow me to generate a

form that was not a deformation of a

set form such as a cube, but a form that

was generated by random by the

program.

Software Experiments

-I realised I would be only able to

use the larger section of the

mass to model as my footprint

due to size restraints

- To stay true to the concept I

wanted to keep this outer shell

as the outer layer and feature

the building mass inside

(outlined in red)

-Applied some relevant levels of

transparency to both sections
