INTRODUCTION

GODESS ATHENA

Athena appears in many stories in Greek mythology, but one of her most famous tales is the contest between her and the god Poseidon for the patronage of the city of Athens.

According to the legend, Poseidon and Athena both desired to be the patron deity of the city of Athens, and they agreed to compete for the honor. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident, causing a spring of saltwater to gush forth, which he claimed would provide the city with a valuable source of water. Athena, on the other hand, planted an olive tree, which symbolized prosperity, peace, and abundance, and which would provide the city with food, oil, and wood.

The citizens of Athens were tasked with deciding which gift was more valuable, and they ultimately chose Athena’s olive tree as the winning gift. As a result, Athena became the patron deity of Athens, and the city was named in her honor.

SCENARIO

This story of Athena is significant because it highlights Athena’s attributes as a wise and strategic goddess who values peace and prosperity over war and conquest. It also symbolizes the importance of agriculture and trade in ancient Greek society, and how these factors contributed to the growth and success of the city of Athens.

PART B DESIGN

DESIGN CONCEPT

The design concept of the model is to use two different pipes to represent Athena and Poseidon, and using these pipes they would be able to hide and reveal the ‘gifts’ the two mythical creatures are offering to Athens. As the two pipes interact they also represnent the conflict between the two characters and how they are contesting between eachother to win over Athens.

DESIGN PRECENDENTS

Using a similar mechanism of these precedents, the design will involve the motion of using two objects, one hiding and the other revealing, and as the hidden object is pulled it will be revealed.

DEVELOPING THE DESIGN ITERATIONS

This iteration involves the pipe being moved forwards and backwards manually.

This iteration involves two pipes being moved forwards and backwards manually, to reveal and hide the gift of Athena.

This iteration involves one pipe being moved using a gear and string that is rotated to move the pipe using fowards and backwards to reveal the gift.

This iteration involves two pipes that can be moved forwards and backwards using two gears and string, to reveal and hide the gift.

This iteration uses a screw to move the pipe fowards and backwards.

ITERATION 1

Developing the design further, the next iteration used was a rod and pull system. The rod would be attached one pipe that would be able to move fowards and backwards as you pull/ push it. The other pipe would be attached to the platorm. As the pipe is moved, the ‘gift’ would be revealed.

DETAILING THE DESIGN

ITERATION 2

Developing the model even further, to iterate the pulling mechanism a winch is to be used to pull the second pipe back to reveal the ‘gift’.

This figure shows an up close detail of the winch which is used to pull the second pipe backwards and fowards.

SITUATING THE DESIGN

The intended situating of the structure is to be placed inside the AMDC building on the structural coloumns. They would be placed above eye evel height, as people walk past they can pull down the handle on the winch to reveal the light.

Figure 5 (idea,2015)

ATTACHING THE DESIGN

The designed structure would be attached to the AMDC pillars, a semi-cirular piece of timber would be attached around the pillar. One of the pipes would be fixtured to the timber piece using bolts and the winch would attach to the pillar using 4 hinges.

SECTION CUT

Growth From Conflict

The model created reflects the conflict between Poseidon and Athena using to seperate pipes to represent Athena and Poseidon. As the pipes are moved they can reveal or hide the ‘gi s’ the two Greek Gods intended to give Athens.

LEGEND

Developing from the first design, introducing a second pipe to reveal/ hide the ‘gi Athena gave Athen’s, the green pipe is moved backwards and forwards revealing the gi using the winch which is connected to the green pipe. The green pipe is also connected to the spring to move the green pipe forwards to hide the gi .

SECTION VIEW

As the winch pulls the green pipe backwards, it causes the spring to release tension stretching out the spring. The red pipe remains stationary, allowing the gi to be revealed.

Once the winch has been pulled out all the way, the spring then contracts, pulling the green pipe forwards, creating greater tension on the spring and hiding the gi .

Growth From Conflict

The first iteration shows two pipes, which can both be moved manually, both revealing a ‘gi ’ on either side, the green representing Athena and red Poseidon.

The second iteration shows one pipe represnting Athena’s story, the pipe can be moved using the gear and string which is a ached to pipe, as you turn the gear this winds up the string causing the pipe to move backwards and forwards revealing the gi .

The third iteration shows two pipes, the red pipe is fixed to the platform and the green pipe moves backwards and fowards using a gear and string, this relates to the myth by the two pipes conflicting eachother and the green pipe revealing the gi .

The last iteration shows two pipes, the red pipe is fixed to the platform, while the green pipe representing Athena, the green pipe has two springs a ached to one end and the other has a rod connected to the other end, as you pull and push the rod this causes the green pipe to move backwards and fowards, revealing the gi .

Week 1: From idea to research

Should architecture communicate a story? Why or why not?

Yes it should, as I think it shows a uniqueness and personalises the builiding to show the proccess. How do you think AI will change the role of architects?

I think they will change the design process but it won’t change the creative part of the design as that’s not how AI works.

How do you think AI will change your architectural design process?

Yes it could, as it may find a quicker way of designing the strucural part of the building.

Week 2: From research to experimentation

How does a 2D line drawing suggest an image of 3D object?

By drawing in isometric views, or adding ‘hidden’ lines can make a 3D drawing

How does an image, or images, of a 3D object suggest movement over time?

By changing a certain element of the drawing and repeating that movement several times can show movement between the images.

Week 5: From experimentation to design

How can architecture communicate emotively with its occupants?

By having different colours represent different spaces, such a light blue colour and represent relaxation. As a creator, it may appear obvious how your idea transformed into the design. For a viewer, this may not be a case.

How can designers make sure their design communicates the idea accurately?

When presenting the design have a clear and concise design and explain the design thouroughly. How can designers make sure their visualisations and representations of the design communicates the idea accurately?

By using similar fonts, image sizes and headings that are all alike, to the presenation reads as a set.

Week 6: From design to development

Design varieties may help customise the design to specific site-specific needs. However, what are the impacts of design variations on fabrication processes?

It can take a longer time and have a larger costs for the fabrication process. By now, you should have attempted to use Gansterer’s Key Lines on analysing and interpreting your design (refer to last and this week’s activity). What else can line drawings do, apart from representing a design?

If layering a line drawing over a photograph it can help to show the hidden movements or elements behind the image to show move of the design.

Week 7: From development to attachment

An architectural experience is more than just the design itself. It is also the atmosphere of the space. Aside from the design, what other elements in an architectural representation can architects use to communicate experience?

It can help show a sense of movement and flow within a building, it can help the way we think it the way we can use lighting to change the mood. Can create different functions for the space uses hierachy, by creating more open or closed off spaces.

Week 9: Architecture performing art through technology

What is the ‘art’ that your design is performing, and how did you explicitly represent this in your posters?

The art in my posters is the detail of the 2D drawings, and how they represent the movement of the structure. What challenges did you face in representing this ‘art’ on your posters?

Making it more creative

What is the ‘technology’ that your design is using to perform, and how did you explicitly represent this in your posters?

The technology in my posters is the drawings of the winch in poster 6, and how the winch is detailed to show its movement.

What challenges did you face in representing this ‘technology’ on your posters?

Trying to make it more creative

Week 10: Design as storytelling and as reflective practice

Why is important to structure how you visually and verbally communicate your design in your presentations? So it can make sense to a reader so they can understand the project and how the design works.

Why is important to structure how you textually describe your design process in folios?

To show the reader how you have come to the final product and the process you took. Did you, and if so how, consciously structure your design communications in previous projects? Yes, it was done in stages of the development of the project. Will you, and if so how, consciously structure your design communications in future projects?

Yes, firsly showing the context of the project, concept design, prelimiary design, drafting 1 of design, feedback, final design and models.
