Enclosure Interior. The interior of the Urban Enclosure further allows the opportunity to portray how it can be utilized by the public as a place with sense of place as well as thoroughfare. This was fairly quick job to post-process with Photoshop. However, finding the appropriate angle in Rhino proved to be more time-consuming, as well as the VRay rendering process in itself, due to the activated metal surface and all the reflections involved.

Enclosure Exterior. This night view gives a new layer Urban Enclosure to the use of the space, highlighting the qualities of the copper cladding. This render was the quickest through VRay, but took the longest during the Photoshop post-processing. Manipulating light and contrast was challenging both during rendering and during post-processing. Also, learning to use dark colors rather than black made a big difference in the printing quality of the work.

Enclosure Exterior. This exterior view portrays how the Urban Enclosure can be experienced as a public and sculptural piece of the city fabric. During Photoshop post-processing, the most time consuming things were ensuring details like the shadow of the people and the trees were aligned correctly to give the image more consistency.

Parametric Pavilion

Paneling and Structural Systems A parametric pavilion has been designed to occupy the empty lot on the corner of Pine Street and Orange Avenue. The design of the pavilion is composed of randomized rectangular patterns that vary and break up the scale of the surface. The panels consist of reflective brushed aluminum.

24

Rhinocerus + Grasshopper

The structure of the pavilion consists of a steel diagrid painted in the neutral, non-reflective gray. The pavilion is open for the public to walk through or walk around. It is a defined contemporary cloister within the center of the historic district of in Downtown Orlando.

Studies were done in order to understand the maximum potential of the light coming into the sight during the Solstices and Equinoxes. This understanding of sun angle and direction provides the basis for the phenomenological design of the pavilion. Light cast onto the brushed

aluminum surfaces will reflect back onto the walls and floors surrounding the pavilion. The surface of the panels is engraved and will be reflected in patterns across the edges and surfaces nearby. The sense of place will change as the day progresses and as the year progresses.

Post-processing utilizes a number of tools to achieve the effect of a full-blown render in a significantly shorter amount of time. This piece began as a very basic V-Ray render through Rhinocerus with only a red opaque material for the structural frame of the pavilion and a glass, transparent material for the panels within the diagrid.

Through Photoshop, one can add multiple layers of information in the form of Entourage, add material textures, and even create design elements, such as the grass strip and reflection pond, that were not present in the original render, shown below.
