PROJECT FILM DESIGN THESIS FILM PORTFOLIO IALAB WEBSITE PROCESS
Tutor: Ruairi Glynn, Parker Heyl Hive is a modular kinetic architecture inspired by bee colony behavior. There are certain types of honeybees that produce a Mexican wavelike cascade called ‘shimmering’, when they feel threatened. When a wasp or other big insects come too close to the hive, the honeybees work together to disorient the threat. The effect of wave makes it difficult for an insect to single out and attack an individual honeybee. The design project attempts to harness this behavior to create a shimmering facade system.

HIVE | MASTERS FINAL PROJECT LONDON, UK 2020
Hive has a single-button full automatic core system. It tessellates any type of geometry into hexagons, and then exports fabrication, assembly data and cost estimation to the user by pressing only one button. This program can be used by anyone with or without having knowledge about coding, mechanical systems and electrical wirings, to turn their own concepts into reality. This is inspired by intrinsic attitudes of bees who organize their hive build through bottom up emergent order.

Part of the interesting things about these panels is that you can change their flexability and behaviour based on the pattern that you laser cut them. There are different parameteres for controlling the pattern including: number of seperator columns, distance between them, offset between cut lines and the original hexagon, thickness of lines. number of lines, ... . On of the important factors was gravity effects on pattern density. Tests were done in different directions as patterns show different behaviour by changing the rotation of petals. Altough, a non-bended pattern is not necesserilly a good pattern since petaling movement needs to also be considered. After several experiments, one finally was chosen. Another set of experiments also were done with bigger hexagons size for understanding the logic between pattern density and petals size. The final code can create a pattern for each size of hexagons.

Since each hexagon is different in its size, there was a need for a code to produce pattern for each petal. In this code, curves are produced based on petals numbers which are lasered at the time of assembly, so each petal is positioned in its right location.

This project focused on low cost freeform kinetic sculpture. The SG90 was chosen as it is the cheapest motor amongst servos, and it works with low voltage power which decreases the power supply cost and the energy usage .Plywood was chosen as the main material for the support structure and the petal since it is cheaper than any other material such as: metal and plastic.

Tutor: Amin Ghadirian Regarding the lack of appropriate water and the importance of this precious matter in our life, My dissertation was supposed to focus on designing a museum of water in order to aware people of the Costs, Tools and the Process of producing healthy water. There are 2 elevators in two sides of the ramp for accessing the next floors. Inside the ramp, there are objects and tools which have been used by our ancestors. There are also explanation sheets about water & importance of this matter in our life.

Based on my researches, water molecule has 6-polygonal structure. It can be seen from every water molecule around the world. Therefore, I used this structure as main shape in my design. The whole idea is about sharing space among components via spin_attractors. Metaball is a complement for implementing this theory. Components (cores) share space via special technique based on tendency. These tendencies are used for drawing curves. Every tendency is a layer which is also used for creating volume. As you see, the purpose is about gathering spaces around together via spin forces whereby volumes fit on their places appropriately. These spin forces divide space around them and cause soft curves which are used for plan and walls. Although, I selected only few principal curves for my goal.

This diagram shows how this theory turn to idea for drawing and generating spaces. The idea was about using water`s flow in site plan and gathering 3 principal items including “Museum”,”Amphitheatre” and “Office“ + “Landscape” via using digital architecture and folding methods. These are 18 variations of magnetic fields based on changing 3 factors including : Rotation radius, Rotation degree and Intensity of charge points. Finally, one variation was designated for creating plan.

This project focused on a shell made out of the pre-cast concrete pieces. While the concrete pieces were strong enought to bear the load of compressive forces, since it was not a single piece, tension cables added to the system for attaching them togetehr with tensile forces. Two systems worked together in the formation of the shell.

One thing that has always been considered for human is an ability to visualizing sound and drawing Pictures. So we studied about audio input and output parameters and tried to analyze the frequency and intensity of sound, because the frequency and intensity of sound is important for us to analyzing sounds.We used two gearboxes motors because of limitation of using servo and stepper motors.also, to create different patterns, some holes designed that can access to goal by changing arm position. One of two motors run by maximum of frequency and other motor run by intensity of sounds. Also, the motors move Opposite direction of each other.

RECYCLING MATERIAL ESFAHAN, IR 2013
This exercise was a study in reprocessing waste materials. Understanding the aptitude of a material which would otherwise be discarded, and subsequently re-inventing a pertinent use for it was the fundamental objective of this study. The constraints consisted of the amount of material available to each group as well as the type of material available. Each group determined a plausible use for the material and elected a particular method of joining, construction and assembly; again, based on the material potential.

Paper as an accessible , inexpensive material, is simple enough to be operated by the inexperienced, and yet is flexible enough to create complex geometries and 3 dimensional shapes through specific techniques. This created the opportunity to better understand how to interact with a material, understand its capabilities and experiment with techniques through identifying the control points and control values it depends on. The ultimat goal was to design a wall with a unique bottom-up approach.

This project focused on the slabs which can react based on enviroment and requirement.These slabs are able to move via air pumps whereby we will have more spaces. In order to create these spaces, we were required to use appropriate geometries based on their responsiveness which brings us more reactions. Alterability item has been considered in this project whereby you can alter spaces by your own desire.
