INTRODUCTION.

ABOUT ME.

Second Year Bachelor of Design (Architecture) Student.

Born and raised in Melbourne / Na-arm, holding passion in Music and Design but ultimately a drive in Architectural Design.

I have a strong passion in designing to create of sense of intrigue and ultimately in order to reflect a sense of social interaction between living and inanimate. Spaces created by both interior and exterior would utilise simple forms in order to satisfy minimalist ideals and adaptations towards the natural / surrounding environment.

AREA 1.

PRECEDENT STUDY / SKILL ACQUISITION

MAD Architects / Yabuli Conference Centre. China

The Yabuli Congress Centre, situated in the mountains of Northeast China, stands as a significant meeting place for Chinese and international entrepreneurs alike to gather and share ideas.

The four-storey building is built around a large 1,000-seat auditorium that occupies one side of the venue, while a series of smaller auditoriums, an exhibition hall and meeting rooms are on the other.

The building, equipped with various functional spaces, makes the “permanent conference site” a complex integrating conferences, training, and think tank activities. The permanent forum is open to the public on weekdays. Visitors can learn about the 100-year history of entrepreneurs at the China Entrepreneurs Museum, and can also participate in small activities in the public space in the lobby.

MAD’s scheme, evokes the concept of a tent sitting at the foot of a mountain, with its soft, curving, silver-white rooftop echoing the snow-capped hills surrounding it. Casually mirroring its mountainous backdrop, it reaches a maximum height of 24 meters, allowing it to settle quietly into the landscape.

While humble in its presence, it does not lose the dynamic atmosphere of northern China – integrated with the sky, the ground, the snow, the forest, and the mountains.

Skylight design prototype (using combination of Rhino / Grasshopper.)

One thing observed was a clear and important step considering the connection between architecture and nature, which evidently this design does well.

The skylight which is situated within the main atrium is a transparent defining point of this idea. Through the cycle of day and night, it creates contrasting atmospheres. Day provides life with natural light pouring from outside and which flows with the concaves of the timber wall panels. Night provides a warm intimate glow with wooden interior concaves in contrast to the harsh silver cool exterior.

Ultimately, this project reflects on the importance of connection and imbibition with the surrounding nature.

It also allows the reflection on the idea of parametric architecture and its aid to the environment, how it can create space and light, and of course forming the surrounding environment.

14

/ FIRST CONCEPT

- Traced over the site plan using the curve function.

- Used the move function to move and angle the roof and skylight with reference to section drawing

- We then traced over the all the seperate roof paneling using the curve tool.

- From the outside of the base to the skylight

- Used the loft function on rhino to connect each separate line to one another.

15

/ MOVING INTO GRASSHOPPER

Traced over the site plan using the curve function in Rhino.

Used the side elevation to adjust the positioning of the skylight in relation to the base.

Set two geometry curves called ‘base’ and skylight’.

Moved the skylight up using the move command.

Used loft to connect both geometries together which created the roof structure.

16

- Convert roof surface into a solid.

- Make sure the surfaces were joined without any “naked edges”

- Made 6mm ply wood boards in rhino - Used the array tool to make sure it stretched over the whole structure.

- Placed the solid within the 6mm ply boards and used the boolean intersection function which gave me an array of lines that followed the same roof line.

/ PREPARATION FOR LASER CUT

- The boolean intersect function created this form of the roof - Moved each individual line up to create 35 cuts of ply wood.

- Gave each line a base line so it could be laser cut.

- Cut out a base as well - The lines were then etched out to act as a guide.

- All done by using Illustrator and Rhino

ProtoLAB Extension. TB / TC Building.

Swinburne University of Technology.

ProtoLAB is a design prototyping space built for Swinburne students of all skill levels to access and support students in design, engineering and architecture, meeting the needs of academic research, testing and industry partnered work.

Currently located in the TB Building on the north-earstern area of the campus, ProtoLAB requires an extension of their workshop space.

The current space is in utilisation on a rapid incline, creating a clustered space and inefficiency amongst different fields in operating machinery as well as general space.

The new facility will aim to house new equipment and machines to extend the current capabilities of ProtoLAB. It will further provide a space where designers and engineers can collaborate. This extension will make use of further needed storage locations as well as communal oriented; breakout and common spaces for collaborative work.

The new structure will represent the idea of the space and signify advanced manufacturing and digital construction techniques.

SUN ANALYSIS SHADOW STUDY 9 - 12 - 3

AUTUMN EQUINOX

It was important to analyse both TB / TC buildings, as well as surrounding qualities / structures, though more specifically in relation to light and shadow projection.

We needed to consider both of these aspects within the development of an algorithm which both complimented the structure and the surrounding site with its unique properties.

When the area would likely be occupied by both students and staff, shadow is concurrent and in large proportion. Developing a structure leaning contrary to these properties could be of importance in creating a warmer environment to collaborate and interact within.

Aníbal Building / Bernardes Arquitetura. Brazil

The Aníbal Building is located in one of the densest and most upscale neighbourhoods of Rio de Janeiro, Ipanema. It houses the headquarters of three different companies distributed throughout three open floor plans. Both ground floor and penthouse spaces are shared by all the users.

The facade is composed of a package of different layers that filter light and sound. The outermost skin is a lattice of perforated aluminum that covers the upper working floors, which is followed by a green buffer and special soundproof windows.

The perforated aluminium exterior is the most dominant of the three layers. During daylight hours it is only possible to see through it at close range, but it becomes transparent by night when lights shine through from inside.

The floor-to-ceiling windows slide open, so occupants can choose whether they want the breeze to flow into the building.

IDEAS FOR PROPOSAL

Interactive structure - operable components such as rotatable / adjustable panels that could be used to ‘transform’ the structure in different climates.

Form which uses sunlight to position rooms of life - this idea playing upon spaces more communally involved with light and possibly those with a more individual focus and sense of professionalism with an adaptable light scheme which could play into rotatable panels.

Undecided between two structure styles.

ITERATION A: ORIGINAL open, spacious, narrative, fluid, communal.

ITERATION B: ALTERNATE linear, square, defined, narrative driven.

I later thought - why not design one that expresses qualities which both possess? (more visible in area 3.)

HOW MY TECHNIQUE CAN BE APPLIED TO THE SITE

The current site area between buildings TB and TC offer a multitude of key design and constructibility opportunities which are well suited to my technique: Enclosed space will allow me to work upwards and interpret the challenges of sun and light filtration to improve various factors such as energy consumption as well as ventilation, thermal control, etc.

Demonstration of this technique is further expressed in the following pages.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF MY TECHNIQUE

CONCEPTUAL Lightweight hexagonal structure with the ability to alter light qualities and filter environmental components between exterior and interior factors.

Creates a division between publicity and privacy, develops a sense of professionalism and appropriation.

Shape is generally free and front facade promotes the reflected idea of naturality within central park.

ADVANTAGES OF MY TECHNIQUE

Unique form provided by computational modeling.

Lightweight material output.

Material strength and durability.

Light and ventilation regulation.

Environmental benefits.

DISADVANTAGES OF MY TECHNIQUE

Cost efficiency - roof structure would have to be prefabricated through a series of custom pieces and likely preassembled.

Potential for corrosion and fracture.

Not easy to make field corrections - meaning pieces which do not fit will have to be replaced through manufacturer or supplier.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES

T

hrough researching a range of precedents, I found that many firms were attracted to parametric design for its strong computational abilities leading to efficiency and higher accuracy in the design process. The integration of ornamentation with structure for example, highlights the new abilities where programmers can focus on specific characteristics of a material, form, space or functional criteria; develop or refine them; and eventually unify it as a whole.

I have personally found myself improving vastly in the parametric and computational design realm over the past few months.

Familiarising myself with plug-ins such as Kangaroo, I have acquired skills to create forms primarily reliant on computational inputs (refer to digital sketchbook.) The geometric surface outcomes that follow can be efficiently adjusted to meet my design intentions whether it be aesthetic, philosophical or technical.

Applying all of this new information in the context of a design studio, I have been introduced to new methods of approaching briefs and developing agendas. The potentialities associated with parametric design and new design processes has led to new design possibilities such as the structures I have prototyped and proposed for the ProtoLAB Extension.

REDEFINING AND REFINING DESIGN CONCEPT

Taking architectural qualities of Shigeru Ban’s Pompidou Metz and applying to site.

Hexagonal structure.

Connection between interior exterior environment.

This refined process takes shape from Anders’ predominant design (similar to figure 3.) through the initial stages of the refined concept. Solidifying the designs structural integrity as well as a further utilising the site area in order to embrace the extensions challenge and generous opportunity provided.

Aspects of Anders’ shape to bring across would include: Organic structural shape Integrated stair (with structural column.)

Integrated shelving system (to sit within column and protrude.)

Aspects of Anders’ shape to be altered would include: General size of structure (occupy larger area of site.)

Tectonic structural idea (exploration of precedents.)

60

I took to grasshopper to develop a tectonic algorithm based closely to the Pompidou Metz. This would involve a geometry mapped across a planar surface and further mapped out to set of bounding parameters alongside exploded segments. These were produced further into points and mapped into lines creating the general shape.

I found through various errors that I was not able to produce these geometries into a curved surface or in a way which would produce the geometric to form a loft like surface that produced columns.

Through through failure, I found that the idea would correlate amongst George and a turn to waffle based tectonics could represent the functional characteristics and proposed communal connection that was needed to strengthen our finalised structure.

61

REDEFINING AND REFINING DESIGN CONCEPT

Taking architectural qualities of Jurgen Mayer’s Metro Parasol and applying to site.

Waffle structure Connection between interior exterior environment Structural buildup Light / Sun patterns.

Unity of space.

The waffle structure by George would form via the characteristics of which we as a group considered of significance to the proposal from ProtoLAB as well as our interpretation of values which we wanted to exist once the structure was finished.

The general interlocking system was further developed and refined through remolding and extending of relevant pieces to existing TB / TC Buildings. The structure was to flow through from the front, William Street, up to the roof line of the TB/TC Buildings on the east section of the site towards the john street under passage.

SURFACE MOULD

Further refinement was applied through the consideration of light and interaction with the exterior environment. This included openings visible through the facade with a skylight and large window visible from the second floor.

The inclusion of the glass curtain wall with ventilation to provide for a green space alongside the TC Wall would be a feature point of our design to promote environmental consciousness and in physicality, accept the much needed light the original site lacked.

Our views also adapted with the change of such a large quantity of properties to adapt from the original proposal. The idea of central gardens became a central frame to the finalised idea. Of what the original site was, barren, cold, lifeless, would change in a reflection of naturality, therefore bringing quality of life and promoting a stronger and more refined sense of community engagement and a space which would be utilised on a much larger more versatile scale.

PROTOTPYE ONE: UNDERSTANDING GENERAL SHAPE

Being able to view the structure in its entirety allows one to understand the structural makeup and its importance is establishing the shape and flow from both and interior and exterior environment.

Though it tends to lack in providing detail and the small and intricate buildup of such an intense structure.

Printed through card, this model demonstrates the generalised shape and is a simplistic but effective output of the interlocking feature.

PROTOTYPE TWO: COLUMNS AND THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

The 1:30 model represents the designs structural importance within the column. Each column within the entire design serves a different purpose through integration, this using shelving, which has become a vital necessity within the ProtoLAB with the rapid increase of student usage.

Pieces were cut via laser cut 3mm plywood and then further developed through the shelving units and base.

66

67

PROTOTYPE THREE: STRUCTURAL BUILDUP WITH INTERLOCK FEATURE

This 1:10 detail model was produced in order to display the likely buildup of the waffle interlock structure. Pieces were cut via laser cut 5mm ply and then stacked / glued. Metal brackets were developed for the first two panels to display rigidity and secure the interlock feature, whilst the back panel was left to demonstrate the slotting technique.

68

69

FINALISED: STRUCTURAL BUILDUP

KERTO LVL

Through conceptual development and careful consideration of the designs imposition on the existing site, the construction system is formed as a waffle-grid which utilises a simple interlocking system.

The overall typology of the Extension is matched by the constant differentiation of individual wood shapes, with it to be optimized via digital modeling for lightness and strength.

BUILD-UP OF LAMINATE

The grid structure is formed up of Laminated veneer lumber or better known as Kerto LVL which is extremely strong as well as lightweight.

70

71

CUSTOM CNC-MILLED WOOD PIECES

CORNER CONNECTOR PLATES WITH SCREW FASTENERS

THREADED STEEL RODS

PROFILED POLYCARBONATE ROOF SHEET

Each LVL piece is individually CNC-milled, and reinforced through threaded steel connectors and high strength glue which hardens inside the custom-engineered joints.

Further support is provided through connector plates which deny any moveability between the interlocked pieces.

Profiled Polycarbonate is utilised in order to establish contrast between the interior and exterior environment, creating a roof barrier from weathering effects. It also provides light diffusion and beneficial factors with building energy consumption.

72

The ground system detail presents a custom profiled metal plate, as well as screw driven piles which focus on providing the three columns structural weight support as well as rigidity and dispersion.

These metal plates will make use of arms which protrude from the ground and connect to the columns much like the corner connector brackets.

The metal plate along with the screw piles would be located under ground level sitting at a low of 1.7 meters.
