RENESCENTIA NATURA

OCTA

THE VAULT

_

BRIEF: TO TAKE AN EXISTING BUILDING WHICH I WAS ASSIGNED (DES MOINES PUBLIC LIBRARY BY DAVID CHIPPERFIELD) AND TO CREATE AN INTERVENTION USING GRASSHOPPER THE DES MOINES LIBRARY'S FACADE SYSTEM COMPRISING OF COPPER MESH OKATECH PANELS IN INHERANTLY ORNAMENTAL AND SO I WANTED TO CELEBRATE THE INTRICACY OF THIS TECTONIC ON THE EXTERIOR BY CREATING A DETAILED 3D PANELLED ORGANIC FORM THAT LOOSELY HUGS THE BUILDING THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS WAS THE BUILDINGS PRIORITIZATION OF FACILITATING VIEWS OUT TO THE SURROUNDING NATURAL ENVIRONMENT THE EXTERIOR INTERVENTION REPRESENTS NATURE RECLAIMING THE BUILT FORM, EMPHASISING ITS IMPORTANCE

THIS TECTONIC OF THE COPPER MESH OKATECH PANEL DEMONSTRATES THE INTRICACY OF THE FACADE

CHANGE WITH THE FORCE DRIVEN SIMULATION ACTING UPON THE VORONOI VAULT

IN THE INTERIOR I CHOSE TO CREATE A PHYSICS FORCE-DRIVEN SIMULATION USING THE PLUG-IN FOR GRASHOPPER, KANGAROO. THESE VAULTS RESEMBLE TRUNKS SUPPORTING THE BUILDING AND CONTINUING THE THEME OF RENASCENTIA NATURA

SECOND YEAR FIRST SEMESTER STUDIO "TARMAC" STUDIO BRIEF: LUXURY AIRPORT HOTEL LOCATED NEXT TO TERMINAL 4 AT MELBOURNE AIRPORT

"OCTA" IS A MEASUREMENT OF CLOUD WHERE 8 = OVERCAST

BEING A PILOT MYSELF, MY APPROACH TO THIS STUDIO WAS FROM A PILOTS PERSPECTIVE. I WANTED TO EMIT THE FEELING OF WONDER, ENCHANTMENT AND AMAZEMENT I EXPERIENCE WHEN I FLY. OUR SITE (140M X 90M) ALLOWED FOR MULTIPLE PROGRAMS AND HAD TO INCLUDE AT LEAST 55 SUITES, RECREATIONAL SPACE, LOBBY, RESTAURANT AND CONFERENCE FACILITIES. MY PROPOSAL WAS LAYERED; PLATFORMS TO ALLOW A FREE TRANSITION OVER THE VAST SITE AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS, THESE ARE MADE OF GLASS PANELS THAT ALLOW TRANSPARENCY THE PANELS LIGHT UP AT NIGHT WHEN SOMEONE IS STANDING ON THEM AND THIS IS A LIVE DISPLAY OF ACTIVITY ON THE SITE AT ANY MOMENT INHABITANTS MOVE UP THE SLOPE ON THE FAR LEFT SIDE TO THE ROOF AND THEN ONTO THE EXPERIENCE OF THE PLATFORMS. THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING ON THE LEFT FACILITATES TEMPERATURES AT WHICH CLOUDS CAN PERMEATE THE SPACE. THE LINK BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS HOSTS THE RESTAURANT AND BAR FACILITIES AND LEADS TO THE CONFERENCE FACILITIES IN THE BUILDING ON THE RIGHT. THE APARTMENTS ARE ALSO PLACED WITHIN THE BUILDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND ARE POSITIONED TO ENJOY VIEWS OF THE RUNWAY. A INNER ROAD RUNS THROUGHOUT THE SITE AND ALL SERVICES ARE PLACED AT GRADE WITH A CARPARK IN THE BASEMENT OF THE APARTMENT BUILDING.

IN THIS PROJECT WE HAD TO CHOOSE AN ELEMENT OF OUR GRASSHOPPER INTERVENTION TO CAPTURE IN A 3D PRINT I CHOSE MY FORCE DRIVEN SIMULATION VAULTS TO FURTHER EXPLORE LIGHTING AND UNDERSTAND MY CREATION PHYSICALLY
