The Wyndham Gateway project is looking for a big impact: to refresh it’s aes-thetic by bringing forth the newest and most innovative of designs, something that will be achieved, in this Studio, with the help of parametric software. The question is clearly there; how can architecture provide a change and impact people all over the world? More specifically, how can our design deliver this to Wyndham City?
Examples all over the world of parametric design such as De Young museum by Herzog and de Meuron are great to show us how architecture can perform differently along time by choosing certain material. The idea of a growing archi-tecture is a good one that can be incorporated into our Gateway project. By doing this, the design will grow into the city, enabling it to stand out and at the same time become a part of it, and not just an aggregated object. The Museum represents both aspects of architecture: on one hand it stands out as new and innovative and on the other it perfectly blends in to the city.
The De Young Museum, Metropol Parasol and Technicolor Bloom all have ele-ments that we are searching for to introduce to our proposition. The Museum is an excellent example of how new projects can fall into the city and become a part of it right away. Metropol Parasol might be considered a bit different: its main goal is to create an impact and change the way a city looks, as to attract new attention to it. Finally Technicolor Bloom is a smaller scale work that illus-trates the translation of an architect’s idea – through computer software – and into the real world, demonstrating the advantages of introducing parametric processes to a project.
The benefits of using parametric software for our project are that it will integrate the design, analysis and evaluation process into a whole system. And through the exploration in this system, new opportunities and potentials can be discov-ered to come up with a more refined and optimized outcome.
Another example, Metropol Parasol, is deemed the biggest wooden structure in the world. The Parasols were all digitally modeled, stretching the physical limits to an unim-aginable and new edge that wouldn’t have been possible without recent technolo-gy. In conjugation with ARUP Engineering, J Mayer H proposes this timber and polyure-thane composition as a way to promote the city of Seville as a main tourist destination in the world. What the Wyndham council’s Gateway Project is looking for is something very similar: recognition. This project details and emphasizes parametric design as a means to overcome physical limitations and create something that would’ve taken a long time to calculate. It was a very ambitious project because it demanded state of the art procedures to be able to be built. Still, it represents what today’s architecture is moving towards and the different techniques that will become a part of tomorrow’s works.
Technicolor Bloom is a project designed by Brennan Buck, 2007 that explores the po-tential of parametric design and fabrication in architecture. It is a full scale prototype produced by double curve and geometry to present structure, surface, fenestration and construction, at the same time providing aesthetics and elegance. It is built us-ing plywood panels. Furthermore it shows how continuity can be archived in surface, structure, depth and color of architecture. This project is created using the adaptive tessellation algorithms for an outcome of a smooth and continuous tunnel. The flow of it is the main element that will be extracted and implemented into our Gateway design, proving that architects can not only convey ideas with paper and pencil, but develop them furthermore with these types of software that Buck has utilised in the creation of this project. He experimented and came up to something completely dif-ferent that at the same time will be considered a precedent to what architecture is yet to come.

• Cooper façade: Simulate the light filtering though the tree’s canopy• Canopy pattern: Mimics the effects of natural environment in an attempt to har-
monize the architecture with the landscape• Rust: Salt-laden wind from pacific ocean enhance the rust of the cooper facade• Series of variables are considered: depth of bump(11 sizes for varying material
thicknesses, temper and hardness), bump diameter and shape, the number of intermediate sizes to the maximum bump depth, the different sizes of panel, the bump direction, and the layout of bumps on grids of various sizes,made necessary by restriction on tooling.
• Computer model used for producing panel for fabrication • Limitation of technology restrict the minimum space between bumpsWeather in reaction
Key elements:
It is not difficult to be observed from the example of the de young museum that para-metric design can also helps in improving the performance of the building. In this case, the architects trying to using the facade to filter the natural light though the building, and the harmonize the building into its natural setting. Furthermore, this museum is also a good example of how computer models contribute to fabrication process. Specific to the gateway project concept of motion, this project perfectly create ‘mo-tion’ effects are not only two-dimensional but also three-dimentional by using grass-hopper definitions, which is a good inspiration for the gateway design.
More importantly, the De Young museum is a great example of how architecture can perform differently along time by choosing certain material. The cooper facade of the museum enables the building to extend its performance to a endless growing process. It is though this process that the meaning behind the architecture and the concept is conveyed. And though this process, the building are more like a ‘organism’ rather than a ‘object’.
The idea of making the architecture growing is a good idea that I would like to use in the Gateway design project. By doing this, I want to enable the design growing and changing with the city, in order to emphasize that the design is literally a part of the city rather than a added object.
The parametric techniques enables architects to analyses and evaluate the design while it is still in developing. It integrate the design, analysis and evaluation process into a whole system. And though the exploration in this system, new opportunities and potentials are discovered by architects to come up with more refined and optimized design.

is the concept for the group. Referring to the location of the project, the design would influence the first impression of the city. In order to picture the Wyndham city as a vibrant and exciting place, we need a concept that is full of flexibility and variation. On the other hand, the location of the project is at the intersection of the highway. As a result, speed becomes an important part of the design that should be taken into consideration. Combining vibrancy and speed, the concept motion is derived.
Through this concept, our group trying to bring fresh smell to the region by introducing some-thing that can engage with the landscape and provide various visual effects in order to con-vey the information that the city is a progressive figure that keeps developing.
1. A concept that fully interacting with the site
2. Consideration of the city’s characteristics and its needs
3. Parametric thinking method that enable forms to be freed from restrictions
4. Splendid exploration of patterns
5. Sensitive consideration of the visiting experience which will guide the selection of form and material, to ensure that the gateway project is amiable to convey a sense of welcome
6. A friendly but efficient group environment
