2 Moving Elements


The first moving element of my design is smart glass as the exterior of the bridge. The purpose of the smart glass is to control the amount of light allowed into the structure. This will be achieved by having the glass respond to changes in light and heat through the use of automatic photosensors. As the amount of light increases the glass will be increasingly translucent, whilst as the light decreases it will become transparent.


The second moving element is the hinged open glass windows on either end of bridge. The purpose of the windows will be to increase ventilation and create a cross breeze. The windows will be able to open up to 90 degrees but will only be open at smaller angles for a controlled wind flow.


The moving element of the windows is evident through the use of Sketchup images.





Unfortunately, whilst I wasn't able to convey the change in opacity for the smart glass in Lumion which results in the images both looking the same.


I was able to convey the change in the exterior glass through the use of a recording in which I change the opacity in Sketchup.


6 Two Point Perspectives


Mashup of 3 News Articles

The introduction of computational methods of design into architecture has resulted in what Achim Menges is calling “the fourth industrial revolution”. This is due to the fact that the introduction of such methods has encouraged a fusion of different practices with architecture. The first fusion is evident through the Elytra Filament Pavilion, a project which both architects and engineers worked on. The project was completed utilising robotic construction which was made possible as a result of the inclusion of the engineers. The second fusion is between architecture, engineering and the materials sciences which is evident through another project by Achim Menges. Menges conducted research with biologists from the University of Tubingen, and developed a technique using custom-laminated beech plywood in double-layered segments. Robots were used to bend the plywood pieces and hold them in place while an industrial sewing machine stitches the segments together; highlighting the fusion of various practices with architecture. The last fusion is between architecture and materials sciences which is evident through the creation of programmable hair that can act as sensors or actuators. The team of researchers from MIT’s Tangible Media Group developed Cilllia, computational method of producing extremely fine, 3D printed hair-like structures; highlighting the fusion between architecture and materials sciences. Therefore, a fusion between the computational methods of design and other practices is necessary for the development of architecture.

Concepts

The concept addressed in the creation of the light stop was "technology" whilst the secondary concept was "the multicultural students and staff who study or work at UNSW".

Chosen Model

 Inspired complexity of forms derived from nature + Interplay between Structure and Rhythm

Textures Used (Sorted Light to Dark)


Images

 The above texture relates to my ElectroLiquid Aggregation as it demonstrates the interplay between rhythm as evident through the continuous line strokes and nature as evident through the randomness of the lines.
 The above texture relates to my ElectroLiquid Aggregation as it highlights the interplay between structure as illustrated through highlighted triangles and nature as illustrated through the randomness of the triangles positioning.
  The above texture relates to my ElectroLiquid Aggregation as it highlights the theme of structure through the carefully drawn squares, alluding to both Santiago's and Gaudi's works.
