Slide Atom 1, 8-9-2011

This slide is all about the team setup. Each of us have chosen Hyperbody for some specific reason and have a fascination about this course, something they want to research or experience. In our opinion, for this team to work best, each of us should be dealing with this fascination to be highly motivated and thus getting the best results. We all chose a specialization within the atom with the goal to create a - sustainable - design.

Joost: Why I chose Hyperbody

My Fascination is the creating of complex forms best suited to deal with engineering problems. This can be either dealing with structure, climate, material aspects etc. I would also like to do research in natural patterns, and how they can help us architects and engineers to create natural beauty and uncommon solutions to design problems. Next to this my goal is to learn what kind of design questions or input lies behind this complex formed architecture and of course how to create this myself by learning how to use the right tools. The specialization I chose within this atom is the structural engineer, as seen in the slide. This is one of the three supports to create a sustainable design.

HyperPublic Concept, 12-9-2011

Despite its location,the site is isolated and currently lacks a specific function. However, it has the potential to act as a central platform on which the university can interact with the general public and its own community. Our iconic structure will be an allure in itself and will mark the beginning of the campus.

We strive to create an accessible space, adjustable by the users to respond to their specific needs. The demand of the potential users is explored through a questionnaire which will enhance active use of the space.

With our general concept in mind, we decided to explore the following structures: a static structure and a dynamic structure.
