INTRODUCTION Currently a third year student pursuing studies in the Bachelor of Environments and majoring in Architecture at the University of Melbourne. Architecture to me is a fusion of both the artistic expression and functionality; where its form and narrative is boundless. I consider it as a visual art for the architect to relay their story and purpose for society and environment.

PHOTOSHOP INDESIGN AUTOCAD RHINO GRASSHOPPER

Growing up in the ‘Garden City’ of Singapore, I was constantly surrounded by the infinite growth of buildings with its own unique aesthetic forms and expressions. A hobby of sketching landscapes and buildings begins at an early age, which develops into a strong passion for the built environment as I have always been fascinated by the notion of turning ‘paper architecture’ into reality. I was fortunate to be exposed to different cultures and environments as I moved to Melbourne at the age of 15. The experience allows me to appreciate a diverse group of society as well as a vast ideology and concept of the built environment outside my hometown. I completed VCE in Werribee Secondary College and selected an architectural subject scheme which progressively leads me to embark my journey towards the goal of becoming an architect. My experience with digital design tools begins in university as I experimented with CAD programs which I developed the skills over time. Being used with hand drawings made it difficult for me to grasp the techniques of computer drafting initially. However, I gained confidence through design studio modules in the second year where I find it efficient to express myself better through CAD as it allows multiple invention of our own conceptual ideas with accuracy of functional structure and complex forms. Technology has infact progressed tremendously over time and computer aided drafting allows designers and architects to move a step forward in generating design ideas efficiently for the purpose of improving our built environment. By this, I would like to take the opportunity in design Studio Air module to improve my skills in digital design tools and to expand my knowledge of different computational methods in my journey of learning architecture, translating my passion into the reality of designing for the environment.

ALGORITHMIC SKETCHING

Experimenting with the components introduced to create loft surfaces and state capture. Instead of creating curves on Rhino, Points were generated in Grasshopper and controlled with number slider along a curve which is then moved based on the vector directions. This exercise is also an attempt to create variable tiles within a dimension of 200x200mm for a responsive skin facade where its curvature of form may change or spread the flow of wind direction on the windward side.

CONTROLLING THICKNESS

Generating patterns within a set geometry. Size of pattern voids can be controlled via points and number sliders. Challenges faced in this exercise is the depth or thickness of different patterns which must be experimented further in order to create a skin where light entering certain pattern void may be controlled based on the size and depth.

CONTROLLING GEOMETRY

GENERATING POINTS

VORONOI 3D

Unlike the Voronoi component, Voronoi3D generates patterns within a 3 Dimensional geometry where its points can be controlled. Once baked, the forms can be abstracted by removing some surfaces. The size of voids depends on the controlled points. This skin may also create a light control effect based on the void size and depth

VOUSSOIR CLOUD SCRIPT

Generating variation of forms from a script using KANGAROO PHYSICS plug-in. Unary Force is applied to the form of the Voussoir Cloud where the parameters are altered to create different forms & patterns. Points are added to the script to increase the number of columns & extrusions. Boundary is also altered to develop different forms from the original Voussoir Cloud formation.

PROTOTYPE MODULE ITERATION SCRIPT

Generating variation of forms from a script created for the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prototype module. Physical model is based on the boundary of form-finding matrix as it is translated from digital design to fabrication techniques in creating the model. Parameters of Unary Forces, heights and perforation sizes are changed to achieve different outcomes in each iteration to push the design further to the limits.

LADYBUG HEAT MAP ANALYSIS

Similar to sun-path analysis, LADYBUG plug-in is used to generate the solar irradiance map on a specific building or surface which can be defined by an input in the script. Surrounding building context that may block solar radiation acting on the selected building is also defined to an input in the script to ensure that the generated analysis data of the solar irradiance map is accurate. This can then be used as an image sampling to assign our selected modules accurately.

FINAL MODULE ITERATION SCRIPT

Generating variation of forms from a script created for the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final prototype module. KANGAROO plug-in is explored further by pushing the boundaries within the spring inputs. The idea is to simulate real time gravity force acting on the form which can be represented via analog fabrication processes. Form-finding process generates variation of forms to the modules which will be filtered based on the selection criteria mentioned in the Journal. 34

Similar to REVERSE ENGINEERING, we have to understand the logic behind the structure of assigning our modules based on the solar radiant analysis conducted via LADYBUG.

FINAL DESIGN OUTCOME

ASSIGN MODULE PANELS TO SET BOUNDING BOX

With the analysis data generated, we converted the colour pixels to monochrome for a better accuracy of image sampling. With this image sample, we assigned bounding box to a specific modules and assigned them to its own specific coloured pixels. By this we can ensure that the modules are assigned accurately based on the level of solar intensity acting on the facade.
