Flat surface into fabrication system

Process

SPATIAL SPILLAGE

The surfology and its spatial types within the park topography afford the triggerings of activities within the programs of the park. These activities are of the temporal meaning that other activities can than be triggerd!

The surface inflections within each function are never tied to specific users or goods so they have capacity to change the organization of the activities taking place in them!

MULTI-COMPONENT SYSTEM RESEARCH

Our specialization is “multi component system”. We are trying to make components that can adapt (move, rotate, change color, etc.) by using real time information provided by sensors. In our specialization we search deep to find the optimal shape for these components within several conditions.

MODULAR PATTERNS

The patterns consist of smaller modular components that can be repeated on the surface. Modular patterns can be deployed to form different volumes while remaining as a surface when retracted. Due to its triangularity, twisting and deformation is not visible at this scale.

GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Nine different component geometries obtained by the combination of 3 stages in the actuators: open, semi-open and closed.

SECTIONAL ANALYSIS Sections of the surface when activated in 2 different ways by local components reflecting curvature change in the global geometry.

SEASONAL SCENARIOS

Structure is more extroverted in nature, geometry allows more wind to pass in through the spaces within

Structure is more introverted in nature, geometry deflects wind and component openings are minimized

MEDITATION AREA

Students and local residents coming for exercise, jogging, stretching in the park.

Existing trees been used as anchor points for the terrace structure, facilitating ambience for meditation space

Canopy space been used for exercise

Same canopy space used for interior exhibitions or functions

DESIGN CHALLENGE

The design is a dynamic surface created out of the repetition of one component. The load bearing structure will be created by the components themselves. When the components are opened tension is created by the deformation of the outlines. This tension provides the ability of self support when the outer lines of the surface are anchored.

FABRICATION AND ASSEMBLY

In the assembly process of making 1:1 prototype, parts can be pre-assembled to step 5 for flat packaging using hinges in between. Parts from step 5 and step 6 are the only parts that need to be taken to the site for final assembly. With the 1:1 scale model, this arrangement create difficult to reach spaces and angles for the final assembly especially on verge of reaching step 7 where bike tire connections were required to be bolted. Constructing it on a desk/ studio is a challenge; however, constructing the final assembly on a real site is a different process that needs to be studied with further research.
