Final Lumion Environment
The above image relates to my Theory as it highlights the connection between the Squarehouse and the material sciences and engineering building, highlighting the fusion of architecture with other practices.

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.
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.
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.
