State of the Art1.1

The following chapter is the basis of the Expression of Interest document, regarding the Wyndham Gateway design proposal. State of the art precedents have been

explored which reflect the computational approach being taken in our studio, Architecture Design Studio: Air, to create the final desired outcome of a successful

highway installation.

Parametric mdoelling is pivotal in our design process and embodies methods currently undertaken in the industry. By looking at highly regarded firms such as Kokkugia and MAD Architects, as well as well known scripting teams, that of Mark Fornes’ and Sawapan our contemporary design approach is given creative guid-ance. At the conclusion of this research we will have a better viewpoint from which to commence work in programs such as Rhino using the Grasshopper plug-in.

Babiy yar memorial“A space that emerges from the landscape within a som-

ber stone monolith - an inverted monument”

Babiy yar memorial | KokkugiaKokkugia has designed a space of “rich and intri-cate detail”, however the interior lacks consisten-

cy and relevance to the outside elements. This, I believe is an indication of the pitfalls engendered throughout the advancement of architectural dis-

course. Through the interaction of agent-based components, a space of remembrance is gener-

ated. In relation to the Western Gateway Design brief however, I intend to incorporate the virtu-

osity and exquisite detail of which Kokkugia has represented in their memorial project. The of the

purely speculative project exudes qualities that translate directly to the highway installation.

Absolute Towers

Absolute Towers | Ma Yansong/MAD Architects

Absolute Towers | Ma Yansong/MAD Architects

Although seemingly simple in design, Yansong’s casually twisted high rise towers provide a beacon

for the city of Mississauga. The towers themselves seem to radiate a promising future for the skyline of the western part of the Greater Toronto Area. A new standard has been set that ensures the progres-

sion of a newer, refreshed archi-tectural discourse.

MAD Architects have created a digitally designed building - pre-tentious in its height yet guileless in its form, of which emanates the beauty of organic architecture and the effect an appropriate level of parametric design can create. It has been recognised as a sculptural form of which has a similar purpose to the Gateway proposal. Through the integra-tion of Yansong’s forward looking approach, an upgrade of the Wyn-dam City’s image can be better achieved.

Forest Veil Pavillion | Elizabeth Caltabiano

‘Forest Veil’, a memorial pavillion dedicated to the Black Saturday bushfires, is a project I designed in response to a brief requir-ing a pavillion in RMIT’s Bowen Street. Through the process of Digitisation and Fabrication I was able to appropriately convey my idea for a 3-part plywood pa-villion - using CNC machines to pierce the wood and create an enlightening ex-perience as the participant walks through. The design embodies the surroundings as well as evoking the emotional tie to Black Saturday. I believe this has been and always will be at the crux of the ar-chitectural discourse - architecture that elicits a sense of symbolism and meaning. The pavillion is a very relevant example I am passionate about and evidently a very effective way of illustrating my link to the requirements of the proposed installation.

scripting cultures

THE VERY MANY | Mark Fornes

THE VERY MANY | MARK FORNES

THE VERY MANY directed by Mark Fornes is an unequiovocal example

of the effects of contemporary com-putational design techniques. The

most up to date programs, plug ins and scripting interfaces such as

Rhino and Python are used to create forms that incite emotion and evoke a tangible form presenting the “cre-

ative capacities of computing”.

As Dr. Stanislav Roudavski states in Architecture Australia,“New methods change the conventional relation-ships between such fundamental categories as idea generation...”. This is evident throughout the work of The Very Many. The ambition of this firm is to deliberately play with the risky conflict between research and design. Their “messy and non linear” ap-proach to the design process is actu-ally deeply rule based and which contrasts directly to Kalay’s method-ical recipes for design solutions in the text “Architecture’s New Media: Principles, Theories, and Methods of Computer Aided Design.

“Sensory Manipulation”SAWAPAN DESIGNS | Sawako & Panagiotis

SAWAPAN DESIGNS

Sawapan Designs, of which Sawako and Panagiotis are the leading

designers are parametric design researchers and conduct their own

findings based on information given to them from iconic architects such

as Zaha Hadid etc.

As a team they have designed their own software - a plug in for rhino.

Flash examples of their work dem-onstrate various interactive based designs. Also they have developed

Graphemes and Topostruct.

Graphemes is an experimental de-sign program based on graph theory

and a dynamic spring force model. It has two main functions. First the

design of 2 and 3 dimensional struc-tures through the use of topological

opertions where the emphasis of the interface design is on connectivity

of nodes.

“Our research aims in developing design solutions that respect criteria

of structural efficiency and archi-tectural intentions by interrogating

the intrinsic properties of forms and their embedding space.”

The main function of the program is to try and develop the structural intuition of the user by providing fast structural analysis of the design system. Hence one can observe in near real time how changes in the connectivity graph of a space frame affect its structural behaviour.There are two versions created by Sawapan, graphemes and graph-emes_sound. The only difference is that graphemes_sound is compiled with direct sound support and has some experimental features of soni-fication of the current sructure and its dynamics. The complexity of the program translates simply in prac-tice and is ultimately an indication of the intuitive nature of parametric modelling software.

Research Project

matrixcase studymaterial effects1.2

This chapter explores the application of paramet-ric design in practice. For example, through the

repetitive process of installing input, association and output we determine a customized definition. This definition can then be applied to a form and fabricated offsite then transported to the desired

location.

The process of fabrication is experienced first hand in this chapter, and the tedious activity of deconstructing and labelling the model is il-lustrated. Evidently, the arduous process is well worth it as the clean, crispness of the laser cut result emulates a quality otherwise unattainable through manual cutting.

the MATRIX

Image Sampler + Data Driven Rotation

By manipulating various slid-ers the density as well as u/v

direction of the geometry was changed. This initial test proved

to be a popular outcome from all members of the group and the focus of density and scale

of geometry became a recurring theme.

Image Sampler + Maths FunctionThis sequence was developed using a very specific image created in Pho-toshop with the uppercase letter ‘W’ as the key component. The W in this instance represents Wyndham and is directly denoting its significance in putting the town on the map, as per the Gateway Design proposal brief. This design has been chosen for further exploration.

Image Sampler + RotationThe definition created here was done purely by accident and it’s almost difficult to define how it was done as there were many errors within the components. However the effect it created was regarded by the group as one of the more engaging combinations.

Image Sampler + Data Driven Rotation

This sequence, although fairly generic as a result provided

some interesting exploration possibilities. Through the use of

the circles with varying densities the potential for a three dimen-sional perforated form has been

discussed among the group.

Overlapping Patterns + Image Sampler + ExtrusionThe sequence was initially illustrat-ing an overlapping grid of hexagons - the size of which was parametrically linked to the brightness of an image. The density and radius of the geom-etry were then manipulated to pro-duce interesting overlaps. Extrusion was applied, however the effective-ness of the 2D contrast of the grids ruled out this output.

Overlapping Patterns + Maths Function + Rotation

The sequence involved distribution of overlapping grids of circles accord-ing to a random maths function. The inputs of the function were adjusted,

as were the radii of the circles to produce different effects. Ultimately, this was one of our preferred matrix definitions and it was decided that it

would be further developed.

Fabricate

The Overlap

The effect of the ordered perforations combined with the ran-domised type, of which were at a different scale emulates the de-sired effect our screens should achieve. If we were to have a series of these accross the landscape the patterns the lighting will create should be eye capturing. Here we could work both with natural and unnatural lighting depending on what hour of the day it is.

The W - Density & Image Sampling

Through fabrication we realised that much of the depth behind the symbolism of the ‘W’ image was lost. We decided that this was an unsuccessful path to persue fundamentally, however the lighting ef-fects offered were too effective to ignore altogether. This was one of the light bulb moments in which we decided we wanted to be able to manipulate light through the perforations and ultimately create

some kind of spotlighted facade structure.

Airspace Tokyo

Airspace Tokyo is a mixed-used residential and commercial building designed by Hajime Masu-buchi of Studio M. The facade of this building is an example of how parametric modelling can be

used to create a design that serves multiple func-tions; acting as a cultural reference to the pre-

existing site while serving the practical purpose of limiting views and light between the interior

and exterior of the building.

By recreating the vonoroi screen in Grasshopper with a parametric definition, a cardboard model of this pattern was able to be fabricated. This allowed us to explore the physical features of the design, playing light and composition, giving us an understanding of how this screen may act in the situation of the Wyndham Gateway. The parametric techniques acquired through both the culmination of the matrix and reverse engineered case study could be extended in the future by implementing performance driven design approaches.

Expression Of Interest

conclusion1.3

The city of Wyndham will greatly benefit from this project we have now named WYNDSCREEN.

The design approach we intend to direct this project with will produce an installation that will

be reflected upon. Using the precedents ex-plored previously combined with a trial and error

process using the Grasshopper plugin in Rhino, my group - with members Leigh Hawkswood,

Steph Longmore Dodd and Blair Scott - came to the potential design proposal for the Wyndham

Gateway Site.

From the very beginning we found that the manipulation of light could resolve the need for

an intensely effective sculptural statement and we pursued this direction even further. From our

selection of two relatively generic Grasshopper combinations - the ‘W’ and overlapping pat-

terns technique - we were better able to envision the possible effects of perforations once we had

fabricated.

We believe our model photos, although relatively amateur in their delivery, unearth an ingenu-ity only achieved through the filtration of light between the exposed piercings of materials. After careful consideration and a new focus based on the Cut: Research Project we explored, we have now drawn our focus to the ‘Moire effect’. This pattern incoporates the overlapping grids defini-tion we explored closely, though it is more devel-oped. A Moire effect can only be achieved if the grids are overlaid at an angle or have a slightly different mesh. Therefore we now have a clear direction of what we must do to create this qual-ity. The group also considered the potential for a series of panels which, using a layered technique, creates the patterned effect as the driver passes by. Although seemingly ambitious in theory, we believe that we should be able to effectively con-vey our proposal with extensive research depict-ing the various sun patterns on the proposed site as well as through an exploration of appropriate scale and materials for the Gateway location.

Learning Objectives & Outcomes

interim1.4

The progression of this studio has come with many challenged and obstacles. Even from Day 1, I was intimidated by the prospect of not knowing or understanding the full capabilities of paramet-ric modelling and unsure whether this would put

me behind everyone else and leave me unable to produce a developed final outcome. Being a second year Architecture student, instilled me

with some doubts. However, through the weekly tutorials and readings I began to build an under-

standing and respect for the forward thinking design technique that will undoubtedly play a

pivotal role in my future. Parametric modelling presents an exciting way to analyse structure but also to consider efficiency in material use among

other qualtiies.

Interestingly, I have enjoyed working within a group after being so used to designing and building a design narrative independently. I think this was the best arrangement made within the course as it really gives the students a feel for industry based design practices. Between the four of us, we have managed to teach one another a new skill and apply it to either our journal, the software or even our entire design repertoire. This would not have been achieved had we have worked alone.

The prospect of the next chapter ‘Step II’ is both exciting and nerve wracking. Yet based on my groups current position I believe we can create an effective, well thought out design proposal.

Site Analysis

A Brief Study

According to the Wyndham city project background, significant

works are being undertaken in order to upgrade the condition and “aes-

thetics of [Wyndham’s] streetscapes, open spaces and parks”.

“The installation may be composed of single or multiple elements. It may be structural or landscape resonse, or a balance of the two, however, it is a

requirement that the gateway will make a significant impact”.

From the requirements illustrated in the brief my group and I have con-

sidered uing the land more effective-ly than we originally intended. We

are now contemplating the result of excavating a part of the main mound located accross the extent of site -A.

DevelopmentA diagrammatical exploration of the chosen site - Site A, and the potential placement of a series of perforates screens. The proposal for a section of site to be exacavated is also

expounded upon.

The mock up model shown above illustrates the hill exca-vation concept. Evidently, we wish to remove the central part of the mound (of which has been immensely exagger-ated to clearly show our intent) and replace it with a series of screens that reflect the contours of this part of the hill. In the mock up each screen depicts a wave effect to further illustrate the undulating nature of the hill, however it may be enough to keep it purely horizontal and use the vary-ing heights to capture the sunlight through each layer. This mockup does not show our idea to incorporate perforations unfortunately, but this is an idea we intend to demonstrate.

Mock-upA clay model interpretation

Perforations & Moire Geometry

In order to achieve the desired Moire effect our design must utilise a series of layers with a selected geometry on each

panel. The specific geometry to be placed on each screen will be explored later however; now we can be sure that our design will

be successful.

P A T T E R NThe organic pattern resembling leaves refers to the integration of organic elements in the design, especially the vegetation and topography. It is also an iconic symbol of Wyndham City, reflecting the shape of the Seeds of Change sculpture, thus linking the Wyndham Gateway with this existing landmark. This encourages further contemplation of WYND SCREEN beyond first glance, as viewers are reminded of it further down the highway.

C O N T E X TWYND SCREEN responds to the context of its site by integrating the built element with the landscape, which is also the only topographic feature in the vicinity. WYND SCREEN becomes part of the landscape but remains dynamic through its Moiré experience. The curve of the panels mimics the existing elongated curve of the site, which also enhances the structural stability of the form. The scale of the panels is appropriate to the viewpoint from a moving vehicle and responds to the existing topography of the site.

After careful consideration of the land and its overwhelmingly large scale on Site A, we have decided to only excavate a small amount from

the mound. Our initial proposal to excavate the entire central section of the hill proved to be a

redundant and unnecessary exercise as it could be a waste of money and materials to fill the hill

with screens that wont be seen from the target audience’s eye. The technical drawings on the

previous page illustrate our new proposal to cre-ate three perforated screens that cut subtly into

the lower contours of the hill.

On each side of Site A these screens will provide a spectacle for the driver’s who are driving by at a speed of 80km/h. The speed of the experience is perfect for what we have explained we intend to apply to the screens. WYNDSCREEN will be an intuitive and practical design that shows respect for the current landscape as well as implying an innovative construct.

Recycle and Resolve: Land Excavation?

Caixa Forum | Herzog & de Meuron

Achim Menges, in his article ‘Material Resource-fulness: Activating Material Information in Com-putational Design’, explores how modern design

techniques allow material information to be used within computational design processes, gener-ating an architecture which utilizes the innate

properties of materials as opposed to treating all material as a homogenous and passive property of design. The Caixa Forum is illustrative of this

approach. According to Herzog & de Meuron “The only material of the old power station that

we could use was the classified brick shell. In order to conceive and insert the new architec-

tural components of the CaixaForum Project, we began with a surgical operation, separating and removing the base and the parts of the building

no longer needed”.

Mount Fuji Architects have adopted the ap-proach of using thin, transparent membranes which is achieved through their chosen mate-rial; 3mm thick lace-like steel. Inspiration from this project as well as the ‘stumbled-upon’ Pub-licity Works, and has been incoporated into our considerations for appropriate material, given the functionality of our design.

ProcessUsing Rhino & Grasshopper

In Grasshopper one geometry was initially used; the custom 2D leaf shape - similar to that of the ‘Leaves of Change’ sculpture at

the other end of the Freeway. This shape was then applied to the

scaled rectangular surfaces of each of the screens, Using the geometry

compnent again, we then ma-nipulated a series of rectangles to fit within the leaf shapes at 2mm

intervals. This pattern was then baked and we arranged this 2D

geometry manually in Rhino using the trim tool to depict the perfora-

tions.

As we had trouble producing the middle screen, which had perfora-tions placed at a slight degree of rotation ( which created the moire effect combined with the other two vertical screens) we decided to copy and manipulate the already baked geometry of the vertical screens which proved to be easier and more effective.

Model Making Process

The following chapter elucidates the process by which we fabricated

our chosen highway design. Reflect-ing on the process thus far, has led

my team and I to understand the overwhelming nature of parametric

modelling. The model must be fully thought

out and considerations of scale and other spatial qualties cannot be sim-

ply ‘fudged’. In saying this though, we were able to manipulate certain

elements in the process due to pote-tial increased aesthetic effect.

It was initially very difficult to settle on an approriate scale for our mod-els as there were a number of aspects that were a challenge to represent tactically. The lengthiness of the de-sign restricted us from doing a full scale model any larger than 1:500, therefore we decided on a section of the site represented at 1:200. Overall, we believe each of the models represents a number of im-portant elements that make up our design and sets it apart from others.

1:200

The screens were created to scale in Rhino then exported as an Illus-trator file which was then saved as a PDF and printed to an A1 sheet.

Unfortunately, we were unable to use a lasercutter so we decided to

etch onto 1.5mm card using the printed A1 sheet as the guide. We

used this same method for the base. It should be noted however,

the design’s potential to be eas-ily and efficiently lasercut/CNC

fabricated.

The scale of the model illustrates the height of the panels in rela-tion to the hill on the site. It also highlights the scale in relation to the cars passing by, which is one of the most important elements that influenced the design.

The appropriateness of the perfo-rations size to achieve maximum effect of the moire pattern has evi-dently been considered. As well as this the idea of the screens splic-ing into the hill is demonstrated clearly in this model. The wire is seperated between the screens showing an attempt to meld the man-made with the natural.

1:500

Using the class site model as a guide we created the 6 strips and central mound, along the

expanse of Site A. This illustrates the lengthiness of the design, yet

determines its appropriateness on the chosen location. It also clearly

shows the relationship between the screens on either side of the

mound.

1:20 Detail Model

This model represents the structural details of the perfo-

rated screens. Cement footings placed at either end of the 6m long screens are demonstrated by the aluminium wedged into

the clay. The joinery technique illus-

trated by the black card, shows the finger joints of which each

screen is able to be slotted into one another creating a

seamless, efficient assemblage technique.

The burnt orange colour of the aluminium suggests the Corten material that makes up the en-tirety of the design. This 5mm corten has been CNC laser cut

in a factory and used as clad-ding for the packed material between the two sheets. The

screens have then been trans-ported to Site A on trucks and

assembled relatively easily.

The use of Corten elicits a sense of the organicism and call to natural elements which the design engenders. The material rusts over time, due to natural weathering demon-strating a design that embraces change and seems to be con-stantly revived by the sur-rounds of the cyclical change of the landscape. Following on with the con-cept of change and revival, the planter box detail shown in this model represents where Phormium plants will be placed. This drought tolerant plant was chosen as it requires minimal maintenance and is widely available being com-monly used in public land-scaping. The variegated colour of the plants complements the Corten and natural palette of the site.

captured:lighting effects and stop motion The completed models are evidence of a

proposal we consider to be highly successful and illustrative of our original design intent.

Lighting effects proved to be our most impor-tant asset and convey the beauty of the design much more lyrically than any render or photo

montage. In saying this, our final presenta-tion makes use of these architectural images

to best describe its harmonious setting within the site.

DESIGN PROCESSThe design is the product of extensive experimentation, selection and refinement of ideas through generative parametric modeling techniques. Key ideas that were explored in the Expression of Interest proposal and expanded upon during the rationalisation phase include overlapping and offset patterns using image sampler associations. Computer aided design enables innovative design and fabrication techniques.

MOIRÉ EFFECTWe gave consideration to the high-speed movement of the vehicles that would provide the primary viewpoint of the form and decided to incorporate a Moiré effect into the design. Our investigations into the creation of Moiré effects concluded that repetitive vertical elements create the most dynamic effect. As such, we refined our design to incorporate vertical perforations, rather than the polygonal perforations initially explored.

WYND SCREEN will never become static as it responds to a range of time scales: it is a dynamic experience that changes over the course of time it takes to drive past it; the effects of light and shadows vary over the course each day, and the structure will develop over the years as the materials weather and the plants grow.

S T R U C T U R EThe simple structure of WYND SCREEN allows for state-of-the-art offsite computer-aided fabrication and efficient onsite installation.

P L A N T SPhormium plants were chosen as they are drought tolerant, require minimal maintenance and are widely available being commonly used in public landscaping. The variegated colour of the plants complements the Corten and natural palette of the site.



Learning Objectives & Outcomes

finalAfterglow & Future Anticipations

The knowledge I am now equipped with at the conclusion of this course is overwhelming.

From initially having only a basic understanding of Rhino, I now feel competent enough to use

plugins such as Grasshopper to develop a sophis-ticated resonse to a real-world brief.

Early stages of groupwork illustrated our com-bined interest in perforations and various pat-

terns of illusion. The Moire effect related closely to our idea of what parametric design is, and

through feedback from our tutors, Dave & Je-rome, we were able to mould and manipulate this

idea and apply it to the constraints of our brief. After a semester of being immersed in the

program, I feel that I not only have a compre-hensive undrstanding of industry based methods of parametric design, but I am able to apply this understanding to everyday design processes. For

example, I am currently using Rhino & Grass-hopper to create a small collection of laser cut

plywood jewellry. The components in Grasshop-per I utilise are very simila if not exact to that

which was used in the Gateway Proposal Design. Evidently, parametric design embodies an infinite

amount of possibilities.

The area of Architecture by which I’m most passionate is that which overlaps with fashion. I believe fashion and architecture are intrinsi-cally linked and that one could not exist without the other. Calling on popular designers such as Atelier Manferdini as a perfect example of the effect of computational design in creating not only exquisite buildings but elaborate collections of clothing. The potentiality of this cross-over is something that has been buried in my mind ever since I commenced my Architectural studies, though with the help of this program I am now able to better envision this idea tactically. I am excited for what the future might bring, and what continues to brew in the world of parametric modelling.
