6 Sources For Assignment 2
3 Aspects of Design
1) Rashid, Hani and Couture, Lise Anne. Asymptote: Flux. London: Phaidon Press, 2002.
The firm Asymptote draws inspiration from organic systems focusing on the "light, speed and traversing virtual boundaries" within the building system. This book is particularly useful to me as it contained a lot of inspiration I drew for assignment 1.
2) Ishii, Kazuo. Membrane Designs and Structures in the World. Japan: Shinkenchiku-sha, 1999.
This book does studies on structures formed by the membrane pattern. I find the use of materials used in each different design or structure was pretty cool and how it relates quite well to the subject we are doing.
3) Herwig O. Featherweights - Light, Mobile and Floating Architecture. New York: Prestel Publishing, 2003.
This book offers architects a new idea of architecture, an "exploration of lightness and movement" for future works. It covers a wide range of buildings such as Bruno Taut's glass house, Crystal Palace and the Millennium Dome and shows how with new materials within our grasp, we will be able to incorporate a sense of efficient flexibility and mobility in structures which is light and inflatable
3 Aspects of Technical Complex Geometry
1) Gregory, Paola. New Scapes - Territories of Complexity, Switzerland: Birkhauser, 2003.
This book explores space with a combination of interactions and relationship with landscapes. Covering a range of different relationships between land and building, it should be viewed as a "place of the mind, a way of imagining reality".
2) Koutamanis, Alexander. CumindCAD, "Modeling irregular and complex forms."2001. Accessed 08.04.2012.
http://cumincad.scix.net/cgi-bin/works/Show?_id=avocaad_2001_13&sort=DEFAULT&search=complex%20geometry&hits=1403
This article shows that computer-aided design systems now enable architects to be in full control of geometric aspects which mean that architecture can now be displayed and created with a wide range of geometric representation.
3) Curland, Scott. CumindCAD, "Modeling Designs with Shape Algebras and Formal Logic" 1996. Accessed 08.04.2012

This article describes the hierarchical model of the shape and it's relation to space and geometric construction, topology and logic.

Week 3
Grasshopper Tutorials Related To Chosen Theme
Hexagonal Surface On Objects- Creates the facade structure of the honey comb
Inspirational Findings
I am fascinated by the architectural natural beauty of the honey comb and therefore have chosen it as my inspiration.These following two tutorials will enable me to get the concept of my model.

List Faceted Structure- Creates the grids of the combs on a curved surface

Voronoi - Creates a 3d Voronoi which can be used as it's own system or as a facade pattern
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLd4-T-l2WM Voronoi - Creates a 3d Voronoi which can be used as it's own system or as a facade pattern
Inspirational Findings
Honey Comb Idea with Flow
The first picture is a perfect example to how I want my model to be like. Breaking through the boundaries of a box, cone or cylindrical shape, it curves around to form an interesting parametric/algorithmic facade.
The second picture is just of interest, and experiment with one of the tutorials that Jeremy showed us about linking an image to the flowgraphs resulting in little cylinders making up that picture. This picture just happens to seem like that but with the hexagonal effect I want
Ideas gained from Pictures
Ideas gained from these pictures and the following architectural pictures give me the inspiration for a flowing facade with hexagonal shapes cut through them.
Some iterations I might make them like a helix, or just curved facade, but I'll start off by making something similar to that Voronoi tutorial. Material wise, I would be making it a sort of see through thick solid glass material.

Architectural Influences
Las Palmas Water Theatre
This building Las Palmas Water Theatre http://www.exploration-architecture.com/section.php?xSec=27 Influences me by it's concept of flow and with the unique hexagonal shapes on it's facade. This study influences me to create a flowing main structural body with the hexagons inside.

Water Droplet Resort
The water droplet resort http://inhabitat.com/water-building-resort-will-convert-air-into-purified-water/
The water droplet resort http://inhabitat.com/water-building-resort-will-convert-air-into-purified-water/
is one of the bigger influences of my work as it is basically a realistic model of what I want to build. The architect broke the structural box concept that many architects have by making a facade of curved glass - a feat that should not be overlooked.

Week Two Beginning - 3 Different Systems
1) Desert Cracks
I chose these desert cracks as they are very unique with amazing form. These cracks signify the branching out of system which captures and fascinates me. The form is lifted off the ground, and in a 3D style.
2) Water Droplet
I chose this water droplet as it is complex, yet simple, The ripples and the moment caught when the water drops into the water makes an interesting shape for a model.
3) Honey Comb
This honey comb is one of the amazing structures created in the world as it has almost perfect hexagonal combs which fit together with perfection with a sense of order and architecture.
