project F:Form finding
Looking at how other people have interpreted form in different ways helps to find solutions for this project. We explored through two different materials the possibility to create different spaces and structures.

Option 1
The first exploration concerns the soap bubbles.
The way this networked program will be structured and organized will determine the outcome of our shape in many ways.
Looking at this composition in different ways helps to interpret the brief and challenge from multiple angles having resulted in a range of options for the second part of the assignment for the physical interpretation of this redefined network.
an option to connect functions in a networked layout within a public city park with open water
a variant with a single internal networked building in a network of green and water, connecting to the city fabric
Exploration of the compositional options of the functions within the boundaries of the site
Connecting different functions in a networked layout throughout the public city park and beyond, under a codependent structural system
Connecting different functions within one structure on the public city park
Option 2
The second exploration concerns different types of fold made with paper sheet.
The 3d model shows how you can manipulate different surfaces with different types of folds.
from analyses to project
figuring out shapes and forms that relate to our analyses and our concept,
program is a part of this exploration as well, taking into account that for example bamboo is going to grow into the botanical gardens, and can be used as structural element in our design. Functions to attract will be mapped and integrated in the design as attraction points in the system.
Structure formation and Parametrisation
The structure will get it's form based on parameters of the network investigation
- Define the border of the network of actors
- Find the social distance between actors
- For defining this we are using virtual representation of social networks, currently Twitter network
- The distance between actors is calculated based on social network analysismethods
Program will be formed by the optimal placement of functions to attract and mix the actors
- Find the attraction of different functions regarding actor clusters
- Bring the most distant actors together by attracting them with appropriate functions
- Functions that have similar attraction parameter reject each others to mix functions
