ARTIFICIAL CANOPY COEXISTING STRUCTURES
BEN VONGVANIJ, ADVANCED DIGITAL TOPICS
This project explores the possibilities of parametric architecture and parasitic structural systems by using grasshopper definitions as a design tool. The project is to intervene the University of Florida architecture building in a multi-layered space canopy, and to use each layer of designs to create programmatic spaces: used for gallery exhibition, project presentation, and relaxation spaces. As the schemes comes from the concept of a canopy covering the architecture building’s atrium, the structure of the project is very minimal as the designs revolved around the existing structural systems. Finally, the design is to maximize the spaces within the Architecture Building and to activate more usable spaces.
