concerns for two significant neighboring elements, including a 30-meter setback from

the granville bridge which ensures that no residents will have windows and balconies in

On top of absorbing the solar energy, this flying castle draws its inspiration from the biomimicry technologies and is built in lighter and more resistant composite materials (fibreglass and carbon fibre) in order to reduce the weight of its structure at the maximum. the fitting is thus self cleaning, in nanostructured glass inspired from the lotus leave that does not get wet.

hence, biomimicry building should be more approved therefore its directly has the optimum function. Nevertheless, it also can sustain the space and nature in bothways. those combinations are the most wanted discourse to sustain our world.

gehry’s personal and exclusive project of interior design characterized by its forms, colors and materials, offers an authentic avant-garde vision. in architecture, its application tends to depart from modernism in its inherent criticism of culturally inherited givens such as societal goals and functional necessity.

therefore, digital design can be an architectural discourse due to demand from the architecture to explore more in ideas and creativities. for architectures, to achieve such big and complicated ideas in creating building indeed digital design to express their idea to reality.

the idea came from considering the pedestrian bridge as a place of connections and interactions of flow and pedestrian paths, connecting the two banks: the flow of bicycles and pedestrians, according to their intensity, interact, creating dynamic paths. the flow of a pedestrian of a cyclist also vibrates permanently, and these vibrations are vectors of mechanical energy that can be recovered and converted into electrical energy by means of electromechanical transducers.

Wyndham city is seeking design for an eye catching and exciting installation to create a gateway onto the princes highway. Over the years, Wyndham has been striving towards creating and establish-ing a new image through aesthetics and technology. the city tries to focus on the idea of marrying nature with the built environment while pushing their town planning ideas towards the future. the local area is known for its natural significance as it boasts an array of public parks as well as natural features. interestingly, additional information about Wyndham has shown that the natural area has a variety of wetlands and through recent drought conditions; mud cracking has been a recent scene, this in an abstract way form a strong connection point between the past and present. thus, the installation will serve to inform people about the significance of change within Wyndham. it will also serve to inform the community and people about its natural significance.

the project will focus on the possibilites of digital design and in-corporating techniques and concepts examined from the selected cases for innovation to our group’s ideal. We are interested in devel-oping the idea of fusing nature with the built environment (BiOmim-icRy) to create an installation that is abstract in form. furthermore, with the advancement of technology in the field of biomimicry, we believe that the use of digital computation will further enhance the outcome of what the group is trying to achieve. Within nature more specifically, with relations to the mud crack formation of the wetlands, our group is interested in developing it’s possibilities and incorporating its system to our design. As so, the group has chosen to look into working with voronois in a broader context. moreover, the similarities of the formation of mud cracking patterns as well as cell formation systems in nature are researched to be identical to the formation of voronoi patterning.

through merging digital software together with nature, break-through in architecture has been observed; one of the more famous examples is the Beijing Water cube. the project has shown most importantly the use of nature within a built system and expanding it into an idea with the use of digital design. With relation to our project, our technique is to use grasshopper to merge the abstract form of natural and built systems and digital software. grasshop-per, in this case can help us in producing and looking at voronois in terms of concepts as a system of formation rather than individual rings within a plane. to certain extents digital software, Rhino and grasshopper also helped our group understand and produce an ar-ray of patterns and forms in a more efficient manner especially dur-ing exploration process as well as fabrication management. further-more, digital software can substantially aid in pushing our design to the next level achieving form explorations that couldn’t be achieved through traditional drafting by linking definitions of different gen-erated outcomes in grasshopper during the exploration process. Our outcome is formed through experimental and developmental stages.

looking at natural processes and systems enabled us to form a framework in developing an understanding of the natural systems that we are looking closely at, this is more relevant in terms of voronoi formation and pattern-ing. from this, we identified that voronoi occur in various triangulated, hexagonal shapes and work on an attractor point system. in terms of aesthetics, we are interested in untilizing this system as well as the pattern.

this is to form a final out-come that is simple in a poetic and visual sense but could be able to blend with our ideals and as an outcome convey the char-acteristics of Wyndham.

After forming the argument, we have adopted a rule-based approach in design

(kalay, 2004) and identified three crucial parts of to our concept developments,

they are:

-the Natural system,

-the Built environment and

-the combination of Natural and Built sys-tems.

these 3 main concepts will act as a guide within our matrices exploration process, this

is to ensure the production of a appropriate and definite final outcome for the Wynd

these examples mainly serve as a basis for our explora-tion outcomes, these examples of applying very direct connotations from the natural environment in terms of patterning and shapes into built outcomes. Our case study exploration is heavily influenced by these designs as they convey to us the concept of forms that highlights the use of biomimicry to draw attention of the viewers to the built form. their form though simple has a consistent and direct theme in which the viewers can relate, this we think is relevant to what we want to achieve for our proj-ect outcome.

from looking at the built examples, we delved upon the possibilities of manipulating the patterns within the natu-ral systems into various forms and volumes. the examples listed are a few of the known examples within sustainable architecture but common themes are also the use of ap-plying biomimicry into their design development pro-cess. the common characteristics of these built examples lies in the use of one occurring technique and exploring it with motives such as depth and gradient in which we are particularly interested in exploring. these elements as said provides us in terms of understanding the limita-tions and possibilities of our design and with relations to the project we would apply these concepts of exploration and motives as they are relevant to the advancement of design aesthetics and technology which Wyndham is as-piring to be.

Airspace tokyo designed by faulders studio strike us in the sense of its simple form but complicated pattern solid yet vivid façade. the digitally-generated overlapping voronoi pattern that rep-resents the biomorphic cells of vegetation, suits our preferred digital technique exploration – biomimicry. lightings are the es-sential effect for both external and internal space. through the pattern, views are fragmented and create a unique experiment through different angles. At night, the interior lightings passing through the perforations of overlapping voronoi make a mysteri-ous feeling as it seems to move as we move.

taking the concepts from our matrices exploration, we came up with a technique to produce an overlapping voronoi by generating random points of various cen-ters within the voronoi mainly through multiple maths functions. the outcome is similar to that of our case study, Airspace tokyo.

After the reverse engineering of the façade of Airspace tokyo, we tried experimenting and viewing the voronoi as a volume rather than a 2-dimesional form making this con-cept cohesive to our argument. Joining the 2-dimesional facades into a cube would be the easiest approach to achieve the stereo-scopic sense of voronoi as a whole. playing with light, the façades of the cube create shadows that overlapped each other and further fragmenting the voronoi.

to take the design into a further development, the holes and the frame would be inverted as in the holes are filled and extruded while the frame is lowered. each extruded volume is broken into 6 pieces of triangles. And the triangular forms are in different heights that will make a wavy form 3-dimesionally.

the form made before is similar to that of mud cracks, and we are interested by this particular natural geomorphic signs. for the final exploration, the mud cracks particularly the giant causeway in ireland inspires us to build voronoi extrusion into different lev-els.

As Wyndham city is seeking design for an eye catching and exciting installation to create a gateway onto the princes highway. therefore, Wyndham city requires a cer-tain achievement in both nature and built environment towards the future. in this project, our group has been ex-ploring through the combination between nature and built environment to form an abstract design. the installation of the design is using certain approach in nature based as precedents. it has been found that Wyndham had natural area of wetlands that can lead onto mud cracking through the soil condition through the drought.

in order to fulfil the goal in creating abstract design be-tween nature and built environment, our group has chosen to use a scripting technique as the media. scripting is one of basic the technique in using computation system in cre-ating parametric design. thus, so many advantages in us-ing scripting technique in creating parametric design such as scripting affords a significantly deeper engagement be-tween the computer and user by automating routine as-pects and repetitive activities, thus facilitating a far greater range of potential outcomes for the same investment in time. in this project, our group has conceptualized and de-veloping the mud cracks as our design. furthermore, rather using in mud cracks as the design we managed to develop it with voronois patterns.

finally, our group succeeded to create a parametric design through scripting technique in using Rhino and grasshop-per as our media to achieve the objectives. With relation to our project, digital software can help us in producing and looking at voronois in terms of concepts as a system of formation rather than individual rings within a plane. Our group found using scripting technique to design our model is very convenient and help us to achieve certain pattern that others cannot be obtained. scripting can also be the antidote to standardisation forced by an ambition to lower production costs, rather than any more sophisticated motivation: the previously elusive opportunities for mul-tiple versioning and bespoke production can now be con-sidered more seriously through the use of scripting. hence, scripting technique has a suitable approach in developing Wyndham city project to maximum possibilities.

Wyndham city is seeking design for an eye catch-ing and exciting installation to create a gateway onto the princes highway. Over the years, Wyn-dham has been striving towards creating and establishing a new image through aesthetics. the city tries to focus on the idea of marrying nature with the built environment while pushing their town planning ideas towards the future. this proj-ect allows Wyndham who is strategically situated directly between the city and the rural outskirts a chance to provide a fresh new image to the com-munity as well as the commuters travelling on the princes highway each day. from looking at the vast possibility within this area, our primary goal is to brand Wyndham itself as a gateway through creating a field of realisation. this field of realisa-tion will serve as a medium to abstractly inform the commuters of the movement from the city towards the rural outskirts and vice versa. every day, there is a considerable amount of population movement along the highway. this alone signifies the shift of people from one destination to an-other. furthermore, there is a stark difference be-tween the population density within the city and rural areas. Our group sees this population repre-sentation as vital information towards expressing Wyndham’s status through linking both the city and rural outskirts. lastly to merge our intentions back to nature, we will look into the structural sys-tems within nature to develop the scope of depth in our project. frei Otto argued that “naturalistic forms are no less a triumph of human design and productive capacity than mechanistic ones.” We believe that these explorations of abstract move-ment and natural systems will serve to symbolize Wyndham’s progress towards the future.

furthermore, we are gonna push our model not into just some basic voronoi stuck inside a wall

of the building but we are trying to make it looks meaningful and aesthetics with the surroundings.

thus, the precedents have inspired ourselves to create and explore more in our project.

therefore, voronoi itself its a free pattern that can be played into everything. however, voronoi pattern is still their control point that can create

the voronoi pattern itself. placing the point can be one of the issue that we should generate the point

itself rather placing the point randomly in the rhino. As they are relevant to the advancement of

design aesthetics and technology which Wynd-ham is aspiring to be.

from several precedents our group found thorugh researching into some projects and building. We found that some building such as tokyo Air space or UN memorial building. We found applied a voronoi pattern is interesting to explore with grasshopper to develop our model.

therefore, we found similarirty in using voronoi pattern in each building and projects that the voronoi is a random pattern that is seem to be very nature can link to our argument to explore in biomimicry as a nature. these elements as said provide us in terms of understanding the limitations and possibilities of our design and with relations to the project we could apply these concepts of exploration and motives. is aspiring to be.

After looking at a number of precedents, we are interested with the possibilities of Voronoi pat-terning and their abilities to convey design intents and abstract representations through exploring depth, gradient and movement. We are interested in using these languages of voronoi algorithm and placing them in the context of creating a buffered space (a field to realisation) and thus, we have set out a number of criteria to explore ways to develop these voronois to merge with our argument:

phase 1: in order to clearly show the realisation of movement, our group looked at ways to achieve a system in which the voronoi points are placed, these systems are then expanded to achieve an outcome that is most related to the group’s ideal.

phase 2: to represent movement and gradient, we will look into ways in which a curved surface can be manipulated to fit with the site context.

phase 3: merging these two intentions to produce a justified outcome.

phase 4: expanding this justified outcome with transformation definitions to give the voronois a more complex outcome, this phase will be experi-menting with layering, depth and to allow the eyes to be attracted and slowly guided to a intended vo-ronoi frame.

ReflectiON

the main task of this subject is to create an in-novative yet creative abstarct design in certain criteria. therefore, Wyndham city has propose to develop the city into a modern and sustain-

able city. thus, to achieve such great obejectives our group assigned to use a scripting program

to approach such criteria. thus, so many ad-vantages in using scripting technique in creat-ing parametric design such as scripting affords

a significantly deeper engagement between the computer and user by automating routine

aspects and repetitive activities, thus facilitating a far greater range of potential outcomes for the

same investment in time.

finally, our group succeeded to create a para-metric design through scripting technique in

using Rhino and grasshopper as our media to achieve the objectives. With relation to our

project, digital software can help us in produc-ing and looking at voronois in terms of concepts

as a system of formation rather than individual rings within a plane. Our group found using

scripting technique to design our model is very convenient and help us to achieve certain pattern that others cannot be obtained. script-ing can also be the antidote to standardisation

forced by an ambition to lower production costs, rather than any more sophisticated mo-

tivation: the previously elusive opportunities for multiple versioning and bespoke produc-

tion can now be considered more seriously through the use of scripting. finally, we made it

to achieve the final model and using 3d printing to create our meshes.hence, scripting technique

has a suitable approach in developing Wynd-ham city project to maximum possibilities.
