Fluid Architecture - Week 14

Its less than two weeks left for the presentation. So to plan out my presentation, and the stuff that I am going to put into the presentation, I made something like a plan. This plan will help me to get organised, and finish my work on time.

My Plan

Introduction
VIDEOS PLAYING
At the beginning of the assignment, i did various experiments on my folie. This included fluid experiments and emission of particles and hair experiments using force fields.
So as to begin with the project, to create a form which would be used as a mass for my model, I used force fields to generate different hair particles.
SITE – FROM WHERE THE FORCE FIELDS WERE GENERATED.
1st- Initially the force fields were placed two force fields on the land; towards CBD and New Farm.
one on the bridge connecting the fortitude valley and kangaroo point: high traffic
SITE- MOVED FORCE FIELDS
Then I moved the force fields to one towards the new farm,  and one onto the river as seen on the sketches.

VIDEO OF EXPERIMENT 3
This is a video of how I did it, this will show how the form of the hair particles changes, when the force fields are moved around from CBD to new farm to the river.

SKETCHES  HOW THE FORM WAS MODIFIED.
so after the form was derived, I modified it by rotating one of the faces to create a cantilevered roof structure.

INITIAL FORM PICTURE ON SITE.
So after the form was created, I moved on to create the spaces inside the building. Basically the whole building will be functioning as a public building. So I wanted to create as much as openings, so that people who passes the building will also come to know about whats happening inside.
So I created solid wireframes on the cantilevered part of the roof, so that when the roof is touching the ground, it creates a transitional space like a pavilion.

TRANSITIONAL SPACE – THE CANTILEVER

I also did a cloth experiment, which shows how the people will pass through this transitional space. The cloth is generated from the direction where most people will be accessing the site.

Another reason was that, the whole structure is going to be made out of concrete. So its structure will be very heavy, and the cantilevered roof may not work out structurally. Now that its a frame, its more light weight and will be structurally more stable.

I also created wireframes on other parts of the buildings, including the side walls. Apart from being open to the surrounding, it also creates shadow and light patterns on the ground, once again linking the context with the building.

FLY THROUGH

TSUNAMI EXPERIMENT.
I tried on experiments to work out how the building will respond to a wave, this is a tsunami wave experiment. This kind of gives the basic impression on what happens to the building, when a wave of two different intensities hit the building.


The public spaces that are incorporated into this building are, commercial spaces, community spaces and an outdoor space.
The commercial space will be a coffee shop, which will be partially open.
SHOW FLOOR PLANS AND EXPLAIN.
SHOW INTERIOR RENDER OF THE DOWNSTAIRS SHOPPING COMPLEX WITH CANTILEVE R ROOF.
THE SECOND FLOOR is an office space and a exibition space.
SHOW INTERIOR RENDERS – COMMERCIAL
                                                    COMMUNITY
                                                    OUTDOOR
SHOW SECTION.

As for the outdoor area, I am creating a roof garden, with grass on it where people can walk upto. I created grass on the roof, also using the hair particle system.
This screen cast will show how I did it.
And these are the end results.

SHOW THE LAST RENDER. AND CONCLUSION 

This is just a summary of how my presentation will be layed out. 

Anyhow going back to the actual work that needs to be done; I worked on floor plans today.
