I came into the world of design only since I have become a student of The University of Melbourne. Therefore, the learning experience is something that motivates me in design. Throughout Digital Design subject, I have been introduced to a few new software and learned more on how to use the other software that were taught in previous semester. I learned how to analyse a precedent and how to create diagrams in accordance to my analysis through Module 1. On Module 2, I learned how to use a parametric software and create different outputs. I also learned about fabrication from digital design, including laser cut and 3D print. On Module 3, I learned to explore Rhino and Grasshopper also to use Unreal Engine for the first time. From the whole modules, I learned to pay attention on details, for instance the thickness of linework to create 3D effect. As a designer, I aspire to create spaces with respect of people’s experience within the space. For instance, how the circulation works and how the space could control the occupancies’ feelings. Also, I aspire to create a structure that respects the value of the site or the surrounding. For instance, on Module 3, I designed a structure that respects the values of the nature by using organic forms and natural material. Although I have learned new things from Digital Design, there are still limitations that I should improve. I should improve my presentation skill, software skills, including rendering, fabrication using 3D print, Grasshopper software, and Unreal Engine, also diagramming skill.

The steel structure,‘Radix’ by Aires Mateus, is located on the docks of Arsenal. It is designed in regards to the combination of historical content and modernity. One of the top corner is facing to the water, which implies the concept of continuity. In addition, the shadow casted on the ground creates a threshold to the structure and would give a sense of being inside the structure. The space that it creates is very open and freeflowing. Therefore, people could enter and exit the space from any direction and explore the space freely.

Surface and Waffle The openings controls the intensity of light that could penetrate through the panels The hollow waffle structure allows interior space to be created
Solid panels create boundaries between the interior space and exterior

The laser cut consists of waffle structure and panels that are unrolled using Rhinoceros. Unrolling the panels would allow them to be fabricated, which means they can be printed two-dimensionally and be folded. Every unrolled panel is numbered in accordance to its source. Then, tabs are added to the unrolled panels in order for them to be connected when fabricating. The waffle structure is generated on grasshopper, including laying out each piece on XY plane. Then, the Make2D command is used on plan view to create curves out of the surfaces. All duplicate lines are deleted, then the others are assembled using laser cut template from FabLab.

M2 Task 2 3D Printing
Photo of model capturing the interpretation of it being a structure that can be occupied with people.
For a model to be able to be 3D-printed, it has to be transformed into mesh then exported as a .stl file. Using MakerBot Print software, the file could be uploaded and the model’s printing time and weight could be estimated. To minimise the cost of printing, the model should be oriented effectively. Therefore, less support material is wasted, which will also reduce the cost. After being estimated, the model is saved as a .makerbot file and can be submitted for 3D printing.

THE VORONOI PAVILION A pavilion that is created with a concept of nature yet still can be distinguished from the nature itself. Its form is organic and the interior walls are made of wood. It has matte steel plate cladding to create differentiation between the pavilion and the overall site. The stairs going down to the pavilion is designed with the intention of delivering a sense of welcoming and intimacy. The structure is not enclosed, therefore it creates a free-flowing space which allows visitors to go to the pavilion from any direction and to inhabit the space .

The stairs differenciate the site from the pavilion itself. It gives a sense of drawing people into the pavilion It also provide sittings for the visitors.
The structure is created using two curvy surfaces, which the internal structure is split using boolean. It is made of steel to create a sense of statement, which makes the pavilion stands out among the site.
The internal structure is made of wood to embody the nature. It consists of veronoi shapes which give details to the structure, as well as the ground with the shadows detailing.

The Grasshopper script for creating voronoi roof and interior space. The result of the voronoi command is just surfaces. Therefore, Weaverbird is used for thicken up the surface.

The part of model that is laser cut is the landscape. The repeated surfaces are based on the thickness of the material and the height of the model should be. The same shapes are aligned to make the laser cut process faster.
