Thoughts

The facade for my building, will be slightly covered with a transparent membrane.
The shiny silver material reduces the solar irradiation and transforms itself into a canopy of lights in the evening. The appearance of the pavilion changes through the transparency of the membrane, depending on the time of day and weather.

POWERPOINT SLIDE IMAGES

shows the orginal art work by anthony lister, second image: within 48hrs it was removed by the graffiti police (even when the art work was commissioned by the council); third image: what it is today.

PERMEABILITY
image shows the close connection between Chinatown and the site.

Showing that we can keep the existing street art however can manipulate or change it without losing the original concept.

TRANSPORTATION
- great views of the site
-opens to new users daily train travellers.

INSPIRATION 2

GROUND FLOOR

DETAIL DESIGN: OUTDOOR TABLES

The shape of the design is aligned with the concept model.
The desired materials for this detail design is timber, aluminum. The timer is addressed to the table, chairs and stools. The artificial tree trunk is an aluminum post where the leaves are connected to the core creating shade below. The leaves will be created by aluminum composite panels.

It is an expression of art and how today as a society we try and compensate/adjust the environment to what we want without the hassle of maintenance.

The natural colours from the timber still provides that natural aspect of trees whilst the tree itself is for shading/visual purposes.

SITE PHOTOS

These are a few site photos that were taken in week 4.

INSPIRATION

This is a render done via 3ds max. where the adjustment of fluorescent lighting/ luminosity is adjusted to create this affect

some of my work via paper

This was when i was playing with lines and angles and possibly trying to create a shape for a window/opening. i would have created the shape in 3ds and inverted the object to create an abstract panel around the window... creating a cracked affect. another idea was to shine light through these gaps, adding glow and illumination to the walls.

DETAIL 2

This is a render of displays that were created for the gallary. it was an option for the detail design however i had issues with lighting in 3ds max. I was able to create volume light and create illumination and glow to the objects however i did not find a good render or image that i liked to use.

CONCEPT MODEL: LASER CUTTER ATTEMPT 1.

This is the result of incorrect scaling of model parts. It took a good long 2 hours of waiting on a tuesday morning. Instead of creating the desired shape, i improvised to create this one instead. to lazer cut a model, i used Adobe Illustrator to outline the shapes of what needed to be cut in order to form the model. from this i saved it and imported into Coreldraw where it had to be adjusted to the right scale, page size and pen line weights. All these procedures are extremely important because if one aspect is done incorrectly, then the machine doesn't cut the mdf/cardboard.

The model still incorporates the same angles and shapes however alot more simplified. i can work further on this to form the final concept model.

DETAIL DESIGN

CONCEPT MODEL

In determining my concept model, i began with 'sunglasses' as my inspiration to spark an idea. The lines and the angles were the key aspects that i took away from this and developed the following image below:



An inspiring architect: zaha hadid also pushed me towards this form.
the form is an abstracted/obscured sunglasses where the base is the lens and the other points are the arms of the frames. The repetition created in between was for laser cutting purposes.

I needed to create a 3d model that will give me more options to work around.
using the same angles and shapes created in the existing concept drawing this was the second model derived, and also to the help of Ruwan.

Working on the concept further, i created a space that was usable, more function, whilst incorporating same/similar shapes and forms. The work produced is currently in sketch up however can be easily imported into 3ds Max in order to add further detail. Details would include lighting in between the gaps, more detailed walls/frames

FRONT ELEVATION

(The idea of this form is to allow two arcades on either sides of the structure. This would accommodate for retail spaces, cafes, private businesses, restaurants, bars and more. I wanted to use the left hand side as an arcade as the existing side has a unique graffiti that could potentially be kept becoming a feature wall to the arcade. )
