‘Wendy’ by HWKN, London This pavilion attract eyes by its exaggerated appearance. It looks like a huge ‘hedgehog’ set in the middle of the city. It is a good example to show a modern architecture. The grid is not only for the outlook, also form a hard construction for the pavilion. In addition, the concept of it is to provide a cool and communication place for citizen, and against to pollution making in the city.

Week 01

Sports Concert Complex by GMP Architecture, Baku This new architecture is designed functional as a stadium. Its huge size can hold 25,000 spectators. The building’s exterior is faceted to match the form of a crystal container and provide a grand view from outlook. It is simple and symmetrical in appearance and It is made of reinforce concrete which is good for lasting. It is a good example to show the parametrical architecture in modern city.

Algorithmic Housing by Marcin Pilsniak, Shanghai These group of buildings looks crazy in its appearance. It can be said as the ‘personal’ architecture since it’ll build in my hometown city and I’m very interested to see its completion. It seems messy when look from the outside, but it is quite tidy inside. The building is showed how parametric technology can be perfect acted on modern architecture. Furthermore, aluminum alloy is well used as a new century’s material.

Nowadays, design is currently re-considered and shaped through the lens of information society and, more generally, new technologies. The work of young designers today involves a crucial paradigm shift: not only do they use the digital tools provided to them but they also invent, modify and produce new instruments themselves. Another important characteristic of the new design production involves digital fabrication processes such as laser cutting and 3D printing. The impact of digital fabrication is far from marginal: instead of churning out identical products, objects are created which, while they undeniably belong to the same family, are all different from each other. Beyond the creative process and fabrication, the digital tools and new design processes have also the potential to radically modify the marketing of design products and the way consumers engage with the creation of objects. The core of theverymany approach is therefore to use computer to generate, not just many parts, but a logic between these parts. They applied the concept to the woven pedestrian bridge that Francois Roche from R&Sie is building on the boundaries of Poland and the Czech Republic.

Attractor by EXE Studio, Belgrade

This project is very modern in appearance which is designed by using computational design techniques with achieve various degrees of structure and visual porosity. The designer tried to use computational technique to get the creative and complicated shape in order to attract users come to communicate and activate in this new space.

I tried to use same input with different associations first. It is really surprised to find the outcomes are such interesting and different from each of them. Among these outcomes , the Using Surface Normal is the most cool input to get the most cool outcome, since it has curve already that looks ups and downs. On the other hand, Boolean Patterning and Surface Grid are the inputs which can let the outcomes in tidy.

Then I tried to change associations and outputs together, the outcomes from this time are quite different. It changed more in levels if looks from perspective view which let the outcomes really cool.

It is good to find hexagon is a really interesting shape which can create various parametrical architectures. Therefore, Our grouop decided to choose biomimicry as the case study. Since hexagon is a concept from beehive, it is very strong in structure. It can be easy to create nice combination shapes that blend into nature environment with its modern appearance. In addition, it provide idea of returning to original nature in this busy city.

Case Study 1 U.K.’s Joe Yardley envisions his Ecology Centre as a venue in which to display current earth-friendly technologies and concepts. The hexagonal facade was inspired by the sciences of biology and organic chemistry, where the plant cell and the skeletal diagram of compounds chemistry grew from an earlier design based on the cellular sandstone ashlars of its Huddersfield location.

Week 05

Case Study 2 The aim of the project is to create new ways of bringing people together to form new and unexpected ideas and outcomes. Forthcoming events range from a dance performance from New Movement, a collective of choreographers with a long history of unusual collaborations through to a careers surgery enabling young creative individuals and businesses to seek advice from established professionals.

Week 05

We try to use Surface Normal as an input of the model and made these little hexagons in order. The output is using Data Driven Extrusion since we’d like to make different level/height of our model.

Week 06

Rough Model The physical model making is a really interesting part of the project process. There are many small similar hexagon models need to be made first and then glue up together.

Design Inspiration It is amazing to design our project like a forest tunnel. Since hexagon is going to be represented as biomimicry, we could improve our model into a natural style which can attract audience and bring relax feeling to them.

We find it feels better to set the model stand than just let it put flat. Also the difference/ various in level make more sense. The primary idea for EOI project is to make this biomimicry design stand beside the road. Therefore, sunlight can go through into these little hexagonal holes, and reflect a special shadow on the road. Thus, drivers can be attracted to this road.

Week 07

Our definition can be adapted to mimic any image we input into the image sampler allowing us to create a design completely unique and personally significant to Wyndahm City.

Through the use of parametric design we are able to create a definition that can change and adapt to constraints and become specific to Wyndham city. By adapting parametric with biomimicry we can take the best elements of a natural system that we observe and alter the constraints on the system to make it relevant to our design and specific to the Wyndham City location.

Week 07

Black and white image of sailboat is being inputted into the definition.

The ‘sailboat’ image is inputted to influence the extrusion levels, color and radius of the internal hexagons to produce a pattern that mimics the image itself.

We propose using the same technique with images from the Wyndam city community to produce the gateway.

Week 08

As we wished to change the original heavy hexagon shape and tried to create a new light diamond shape. From the front and right view, we can find it is more likely to be beehive. This test model is in three dimension and more flexible than the one before.
