The Tetrahdron

The tetrahedron module can be replicated multidirectionally to form a continuous structure.

Effectively, this structure functions like a space frame – lightweight and porous – only better, because it can extend vertically.

Can this idea be translated to a building where walls, floors and ramps are composed by this same modular unit?

I imagine a spiral ramp made up of a series of flat floors. Circulation space and functional space become one.

Undevelopable Surface _ PARABOLOID SURFACE _part1

THE most strength by using Rapid Proto Typing is that making undevelopable surface, and use it as a mold so that makes mass production which is faster, financially reasonable and flexible to further requirement by change of environment.

PARABOLOID surface is normaly used for a roof system for large span as a kind of shell structure. However, by rotating up the surface, it can provide a lot of chance of openings, variety of volume with structural strength.

More balenced natural daylight which is diffused and less glaring. And wide natural ventilation.

As a combination of module, More types and options could be possible by distortion of curvature. Then, every edges and corners are became different with asymmetry curvature.

Vacuumed Veil II – Fabricating Material Properties

Logistic hub for large scale high density future factory

To maximise utilization, logistic hub; integrated storage and veritcal connectivity, is raised from the fabrication floor

CNC machine used to create double curved surfaces

Intersection – Collision

Colliding spaces to create spatial ambiguity.

To give meaning to structure.

To congregate and disperse.

Interdependent volumes.

Coherent whole.

Flattened individual pieces by software rhinoceros.

To be laser engraved.

Exploration on Directional Translucency

LCP = Laser Cut Panel

Laser cut lines on panels to half the depth of the material and the semi cut lines will act as a mirror and reflect light

Curve lines tend to have reflect a higher concentration of light at the centre thus good for area where concentrated light is needed.

Straight lines reflect light evenly thoughout the space.

Engraved wall is good in reflectance thus can act as a “light wall” which light will be transmitted through the glow and keeping privacy in the spaces.

Blooming Immaterial

“What is fascinating is the inability to separate the real from the digital, because they already from part of the same nature.”

• Scan a type of Leaf.
• Focus on Leaf’s Vein, Surface. (As Structure, Facade)
• Also think on Leaf’s Growth.
