Hi! my name is Lindsay Ahmed and I am a 3rd year architecture student from Boston Massachusetts. I am intrested in reasearch based architecture and am exicted to create sustainable and green living systems and learning about the process.
ARCHITECTURE YEAR
3rd Year
For this project we are beginning to study the capabilities of living systems within architecture and landscape architecture. The objective of this studio was to look at existing systems within buildings and how one could possibly tap into these systems and create a functional space for a living wall. Although the majority of this studio was hypothetical it allowed for us to observe and predict how to create a sustainable and working system. For my specific system I picked creating a PVC pipe living system on the columns of the design library. The inspiration for the studio was Pompidou II so I took into the account of creating a beautiful piece off of a place that is surrounded and can foster a community. Throughout this studio I have taken away a lot of knowledge of the
complexity of why it is so hard to sustain green walls. Even thoughout this is new research it will be really interesting to see if MEW scaffolding pattern can host plant life and help make a greenwall living system able to be long lasting.

CONCLUSIONS
1. CONCLUSIONS
PATTERN 01
MUSHROOM INSPIRED
In this pattern of study the idea was to play with small vertical lines to get the same type of verticallity on oyster mushrooms. It was important to play which sizing of positive and negative space and showing how vertical lines can be beautiful
The speed printed would be F200
IMAGE: OYSTER MUSHROOM CLUSTER
PATTERN 02
GRAPEFRUIT INSPIRED
In this pattern of study the idea was to play with vertical as well as horizontal intersecting lines. The goal was to make sure that the lines do not overlap too much and try to create the patterns of grapefruit veins.
The speed printed would be F200
IMAGE: GRAPEFRUIT VEINS
PATTERN 03
HONEYCOMB INSPIRED
In this pattern of study the idea was to recreate the hexagon like textures in a honeycomb with overlapping elements.
The speed printed would be F200
IMAGE: HOMEYCOMB CELLS
PATTERN 04
LEAF CELL INSPIRED
This pattern goal was to mimic the detailed cells in leaves.
The speed printed would be F200
IMAGE: LEAF CELL CLUSTER
PATTERN 05
BUTTERFLY CELL INSPIRED
For this pattern I wanted to mimic the way that the little scales in wings tend to group together and migrate to a part of the wing, whether that be because they are certain colors of shapes.
The speed printed would be F200
IMAGE: BUTTERFLY CELL CLUSTERS
PATTERN 06
PINECONE INSPIRED
In this pattern I wanted to mimic the simplistic way that the parts of a pincone naturally overlap and go together to protect the seeds.
The speed printed would be F200
IMAGE: PINECONE SEEDS
PATTERN 07
REFLECTION INSPIRED
In this abstract pattern I really wanted to mimic the chaotic way that water/liquid can reflect off of different kinds of surfaces.
The speed for this print was f20.
IMAGE: WATER REFLECTIONS
PATTERN 08
TREE ROOT INSPIRED
In this pattern the goal was the create a wavy overlap of lines like how routes of a tree overlap themselfs or how they intertwine with other trees.
The speed for this print was f300.
IMAGE: TREE ROOT
PATTERN 09
BARK INSPIRED
Much like the reflection pattern and similarily to the root one, I wanted to showcase how chaotic the patterns of bark on trees can be. As chaotic as it can be it can also be quite beautiful.
The speed for this print was f200.
IMAGE: BARK
PATTERN 10 FUNGUS
This pattern was similarly inspired like the mushroom pattern. I was inspired by looking at intersecting lines at a horizonal level and creating thicker lines and thicker pockets.
The speed for this print was f200.

FIRST 3D SCAFFOLD PRINT
BUTTERFLY
3D PRINT ANALYSIS
When analyzing the way that the butterfly print came out, one can see that there is a lot of overlapping, creating little pockets in the scaffold. This was more than I initially intended for my design but it turned out close to what I imagined it to look like.

FINAL PRINT PATTERN
3D PRINT ANALYSIS
When deciding what to print for the final pattern, it was important to observe and test to see if the scaffold could host multiple different forms of plant life. For my design I decided to go with the concept that was inspiried by butterfly wings, because as you can see there are a lot of intersecting lines as well as positive and negative spaces.

LIDAR IMAGE
LAWERENCE DESIGN LIBRARY
For this imagery we were tasked to origionally use a photogrammetry progran that unfotunetly did not work for my space because of all the windows in glare. I then moved onto use a scanning program lidar on my phone to capture the image seen next to the text. As one can see there are still spots where the program did not pick up things clearly, but over all the imaging is great.

Because the lidar imaging did not pick up everything that was necesary for understanding the space utilized for my project, I was tasked to create a digital twin. Here I used the program rhino to get a better understanding of the space, and allow for flawless mock ups and future renderings.

In this imagery there are two environmental analysis of sunlight within the living system. Using an advanced grasshopper script we were given parametrics to change to show the true exposure of our living system. On the left is the system as a whole and on the right is the annual lux measurements throughout my liviving system captured midday in June as well as December.

Since it was hard to see the stark differences between the months that emit the most light and the months that emit the least amount of light a third study was conducted. Here there is a study only taken on June 15 at noon which shows that most the southern and northern facing facades are faced with a high lux measurement, however it remains mostly warm and in the 1000 range. On the otherhand the Decemeber one is really interesting because in the north facing facade it has the highest amount of lux which is close to 3000 and in the south facing facade the lux is around 300.

SCAFFOLD MODEL STUDIES
LIVING SYSTEM
With the images to the left they represent a 2D pattern study that was conducted mid quarter. These studies were to show how our systems could attatch to pipe, and we were tasked to expore that by using string and how it could live within our potential system. We also conducted block studies after in rhino to decide if a modular pattern or a linear pattern would be more sucessful in our space. For my particual design what I took from the first study was to have a combination of the additive and subtractive methods. Additionally, from the second study I used a linear pattern.

PROPOSED/ SELECTED PATTERN
LIVING SYSTEM
Here you can see the proposed pattern selected for my living system. The majority of the studio I was studying the pattern to the left. However, when I built to 1:1 model, conducted the light study and waterflow study, there were major flaws within the system. The next move forward was to simplify the design, which you can see on the right. This was a move I decided to make on week 8. This was extremely challenging but it was worth it because I created a more sucessful living system than the origional design.
IMAGE: PROPOSED AND SELECTED PATTERN
WATER FLOW ANALYSIS
INITIAL WATER FLOW
Within these images you can see how water travels throughout my living system. There are still flaws within the waterflow and I will probably need to add in some additional support to ensure that the water can connect to each of the plants that live within my system.
IMAGE: WATERFLOW ANALYSIS
WATER FLOW ANALYSIS
INITIAL WATER FLOW
Within this spread I added in some additional support and created actual openings as to were the system would connect to the water pipe and you can see that there is plenty of waterflow throughout the system. I then made it closer to the shape of my actual design to better invision how that would look. Even though the watter looks lighter, if I were to build it to real scale I would move to 2’’ pipes instead of 0.5’’.

CALCULATIONS
SPECIES LIGHT NEEDS
Using species as a constrain I have translated the LUX to PPFD to view its annual needs. The reason for this is so that within the system I can account for when the system will need supplemental lighting. This would be necessary during the winter and for certain species after the sun sets.

CALCULATIONS OF SPECIES LIGHT NEEDS
After conducting more research and looking at how much light the plants need to obtain I will need to add suplemental lighting. The conversions and calculations are for what the plants need annually. As you can see most of the plants that I intend to use will need about 8 hours of sunlight a day. Because of the rainy winter months these plants will need about 2300 lux of sunlight constantly 8 hours a day. For the southern facing facade it will need additional lighting all year round because it only gets reflections of the sunlight. For the northern facing facade it will need supplemental lighting only ocassionally and depending on the day because even on an overcast day it can still get around 1000 lux, so just 1000 lux of supplemental lighting. For the summer months were there is high lux that side will mostly be all african violets.
PROCESS WORK
ORIGIONAL ITERATIONS
Within this spread you can see the thought process when creating my first system. I first started out with a modular system and because it was unsucessful (because it kept going off the sides of the columns) I started playing with different lines and then used linear lines to create triangular patterns. Once I created a pattern that I was drawn to I used the linework and created a subd shape. Because the script did not initially like the thickness of pipe I was trying to achieve, I then went on to another script to play with the diameter sizing.

ORIGIONAL ITERATIONS
Here is the first origional design followed by the origional solar analysis. The analysis could not real some of my design so I thought that it would be easier to move forward with a layering system and get rid of the system that spanned across the beam of the space.

Here you can see the areas where my design had the most changing lux throughout the year and then deciding to redesign next to it is the process of breaking my previous design into three different parts and utilizing a layering system.

Here is the first series of the real build I did with my origional design. The more I built it the more I realized that it would be hard to manipulate the pipes the way that I wanted to. In this specific process I decided to change my design and build it as if it were bent around the columns.

When looking at the new designs for proposed spaces the systems are slightly different in relation to the origional design.For the one on the left I just used my 2D pattern and then expanded it onto the beam. For the one of the right I used the first pattern as a layering system to add more depth and took out the beam system.

CONCLUSION
LIVING SYSTEM
When concluding the research based study there was a lot that I learned throughout this entire process. Coming into this class I did not know a lot about living systems and rhino/grasshopper were not my prefered programs. I was super excited to do a reasearch based program and learned more than I have from any other studio. The process was intense but it was cool to use need technology to create our scaffold and utilize 3D printing to make this project hands on. The rhino and grasshopper scripts that were use were informative of how intense it is to create a sucessfull living system, since it comes with so many issues, and people do not properly take care of them. Everything that was used I will carry on and use throughout my architecture career and am thankful to have participated in this upcoming research.
