Sketchup Model with moving element - The Sphere Train

This SketchUp Model represents the moving element - The Sphere Train.

The Sphere Train transport students and staffs from one side of the bridge to another. Applying glass as its exterior layer provides an opportunity for individuals to enjoy the scenery as they wait for their arrival.

Revisiting my Theory + Developing Ideas

Developed Theory: Problem Solving with Style

Computational Design revolve around the idea of solving problems with technological advanced tools. As a result, not only problems will be effectively solved but with the help of technology...

"Buildings are developed using problem-solving as the driving force rather than by grouping together architectural objects"

Mashup and Theory

Theory: Problem Solving with Style

ARTICLE 1: http://architizer.com/blog/computational-design-skillshare/

“Computational design is not just a digital replication of analog tools—instead, it introduces an entirely new framework for how we work. BIM software, at its most advanced, could one day condense plans, renderings, construction documents, structural analysis, and an open sourced specification library into one editable online 3-D model. Meanwhile, both parametrics and digital fabrication are stretching what architects can pragmatically build. In 2008, Patrik Schumacher, partner at Zaha Hadid Architects, famously stated, “Parametricism is the great new style after modernism. Buildings are developed using problem-solving as the driving force rather than by grouping together architectural objects.”

“Democratize the entire process of architecture”

ARTICLE 2: http://www.archdaily.com/785602/5-ways-computational-design-will-change-the-way-you-work

“nearly every architect uses a computer.

1. Explore multiple design options

2. Get under the hood and access your data

3. Automate repetitive tasks

4. Test what your design is REALLY doing

5. Think algorithmically”

ARTICLE 3: http://inhabitat.com/how-robots-and-carbon-fiber-could-usher-in-the-fourth-industrial-revolution/

“the combination of robots and carbon fiber could propel us into a new era in architecture.

software program that would allow robots to construct stadium roofs out of the building material, which he believes is largely underutilized.

Revolutionise construction

The Two Concepts and The Architecture

The Concept and The Architecture

Structure of the railway stop

Concept: Human Body and Natural Movement (Calatrava)

Theme: Sustainability

The rings of the surrounding the railway stop are inspired by Calatrava's design exploration of the human body and their natural environment. Twisted structures along the tracks further features the focus onto natural environment.

Placement of the railway stop:

Concept: Rhythm, Structure, Geometry (Gaudi)

Rhythm, structure and geometry, all three of these concepts are combined into one which leads to the inspiration of the railway placement on UNSW campus. The fluidity of the rings are juxtaposed with the rigid building structures of the university - which then shows a sense of rhythm and stimulates the surroundings with its facade.
