PART C DETAILED DESIGN
CONCEPTUALISATION 65
66 CONCEPTUALISATION CONCEPTUALISATION 67
After receiving feedbAck from pArt b, we decided to further develop my prototypes further into A design thAt could be digitAlly
prefAbricAted in reAl life. using techniques leArned from field lines to rAtionAlize A dynAmic form for the design.
As whAt i did eArlier, wires will still be the mAin support for the overAll structure the tAsk now is to find A suitAble mAteriAl thAt could Act As its ‘clAdding’ And membrAne. thAt mAteriAl could be
semi-trAnspArent As it blurs the boumdAry between internAl And externAl, strongly ephAsis on interrAction And connection.
hence, we decided to go bAck to the site to
to redefine our deisgn concept And brief And find inspirAtion through products AvAilAble in crAft store As A stArting point to brAinstorm ideAs.

SITE ANALYSIS

74 CONCEPTUALISATION CONCEPTUALISATION 75
while wAlking on merri creek trAil, whAt we found most interesting wAs the Amount of detAil thAt one
might discover while viewing the nAture At A microscopic level. some of the nAturAl mAteriAls thAt we observed And found evocAtive especiAlly At A smAller scAle include, grAss, reeds And more. other thAn thAt,
pAper bAgs And tissue pAper were Also observed on the ground. therefore, in our project, we hope to creAte A pAvilion thAt could function to provide An evocAtive experience to Allow the users on site to discover the microscopic properties of
mAteriAls At A one to one scAle besides Acting As A temporAry structure thAt cAn be set up when needed. hence, the mAin concept Adopted is the reuse And recycle of mAteriAls, both mAn-mAde And nAturAl, thAt we found on site
to construct the pAvilion for which the pAvilion will disintegrAte over time And cAn be constructed whenever it is needed using the mAteriAls on site, imitAting the nAturAl cycle of life in the nAturAl system.

FORM-FINDING

80 CONCEPTUALISATION CONCEPTUALISATION 81
in order to reAlise this ideA, we went bAck to the grAsshopper script for form finding, using techniques leArned from field lines, such As: AttrAction And repulsion force And clociwise, Anti-clockwise spinning force.
As we wAnted the users to view the mAteriAls in A cellulAr mAnner just As how we look into the detAils of cells viA the microscope, A more dynAmic And curvy form is needed to Achieve the desired effect. therefore, After multiple Attempts As
shown in A few of the iterAtions tested out ,we finAlly decided on this form (As shown Above) As our finAl form As it does not encompAss Any shArp edges thAt cAn seen in the otheriterAtions while still hAving the orgAnic 3d form And dynAmism in
terms of how it spreAds Across the lAndscApe.

After deciding on the form, we went on to mAteriAl studies And experimenting wAys in which we could fAbricAte the form. in terms of mAteriAl studies, we experimented with both nAturAl And
mAn-mAde mAteriAls. close-up shots were tAken in order to imitAte whAt one might find while viewing it At A microscopic level. some of the mAn-mAde mAteriAls thAt we hAd experimented include gift wrApping tissue pAper, normAl tissue pAper, crepe pAper, recycled pulp pAper And even mAde our own bioplAstic. most of the mAteriAl is too soft, frAgile or
teArs eAsily. we Also utilised the collected nAturAl mAteriAls on site such As: reeds, twigs And grAss to test out which mAteriAls combine will give the most evocAtive effect.

next, we experimented wAys to fAbricAte the pAvilion. initiAlly, we wrApped mAn-mAde mAteriAls such As tissue pAper, glued on the surfAce of A
temporAry formwork, bAlloon. once we pop the bAlloon, we mAnAged to creAte A fAirly strong membrAne structure through binding of glue, even without Any structurAl support system. we Also experimeted with putting reeds in between 2 lAyers
however, this bAlloon formwork ideA is limited to only creAting round structure, which does not Apply to the orgAnic,dynAmic form we intended to creAte. hence, we developed this ideA of creAting A digitAl fAbricAted form which could be
removed lAter. wires will be needed to support the membrAne, Also to imitAte the field line pAtterns derived in our finAl chosen form.
through multiple triAls, we decided to go with reeds insteAd of twigs As twigs Are too thick And mAy be too heAvy to be supported
within membrAne And wires, And could dAmAge the structure eAsily. we found thAt gift wrApping tissue pAper is A better mAteriAl choice thAn crepe pAper As it is thin, semi-trAnspArent And flexible, cApAble in spAnning Across the whole design. its trAnspArency level is exActly whAt we Are looking for in order for usersview it in A microscopic scAle. Although crepe is more textured (rough- hAnd-felt surfAce) it
is A bit thick And might cover the reeds inserted within. 94 CONCEPTUALISATION CONCEPTUALISATION 95

using grAsshopper to creAte contour Along the surfAce And project it to the horizontAl plAne, the formwork wAs obtAined through digitAl fAbricAtion. rAther thAn A whole surfAce, we resorted in using pAnels As it would be more convenient
to remove the structure from the formwork without dAmAging it. foAm boArd wAs lAser cut And gAps were left in order to insert these pAnels in. we slot the pAnels in According to the numbers nAmed prior lAser cutting to eAse instAllAtion process And
Able to work efficiently in A short period to quickly set up the temporAry pAnelling formwork. After pAnels Are slot in, we lAid the first lAyer of gift wrApping tissue pAper on the surfAce. next, reeds were lAid on top for Aesthetic effect And to enAble users to AppreciAte beAuty of nAture in A microscopic level. wires were plAced According to our field lines pAtterns to Act As structurAl support system. And lAstly,
Another lAyer of tissue pAper were lAid on top to cover the reeds And wires,Acting As the outerlAyer membrAne. when we removed the formwork, our design AppeArs to be dynAmic As intended And orgAnic, especiAlly the interior pArt As the stAins of
formwork left gAve it Another rAw Aesthetic effect. the reeds inserted in between is very AppeAling And could heighten the users’ experience when it is lighted up.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
THIS DETAILED DESIGN PHASE CONCLUDES THE WHAT PHASE OF THE PROJECT. DURING THIS PHASE, ALL KEY DECISIONS ARE FINALIZED. THIS PART FOCUSES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REALISTIC AND YET INNOVATIVE DESIGN PROPOSAL. THE OUTCOME OF THIS STAGE IS A FULLY DOCUMENTED AND CONVINCINGLY ARGUED DESIGN THAT IS CRITICALLY POSITIONED IN CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL DISCOURSE.
THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, I HAVE GAINED KNOWLEDGE IN HOW TO REALIZE THE WHOLE DESIGN PROCESS: FROM OBSERVING ON SITE, THROUGH BRAIN STORMING, FORM- FINDING, DOING MATERIALS STUDY, AND THEN EXPERIMENTING POSSIBLE FABRICATION WAYS TO ACTUALIZE THE STRUCTURE. THEN IT PROCEED TO SENDING THE FILE FOR LASER CUT AND LAYING THE FORMWORK OUT. FINALLY, LAYERING THE MEMBRANE AND INSERTING WIRE SUPPORT IN BETWEEN FOR STRUCTURAL PURPOSE. THE FINAL STEP IS TO PEEL OUR DESIGN CAREFULLY FROM THE FORMWORK WHICH WILL THEN STAY IN SHAPE.
DIGITAL FABRICATION IS AN EFFICIENT WAY THAT ELIMINATES ANY INACCURACY WHEN CUTTING AND SAVING TIME. OTHER THAN THAT, IT ALSO MINIMISES ERROR DURING INSTALLATION AS WE LABELLED THE PANELS ACCORDINGLY IN A SEQUENCE.
THE MOST INTERESTING THING I LEARNED DURING THIS PROCESS IS THAT DIGITAL FABRICATION TECHNIQUES COULD BE USE TO CREATE A TEMPORARY FORMWORK THAT COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE DESIGN LATER ON. EVEN THOUGH OUR FINAL MODEL LOOKS ‘ARTSY AND CRAFTY’, THE DIGITAL FABRICATION PROCESS IS VERY INTERESTING.
AFTER OUR FINAL PRESENTATION, WE REALISED THAT OUR DESIGN IS NOT CLEARLY JUSTIFIED IN MANY WAYS AND WE NEED TO REFINE AND FURTHER DEVELOP OUR DESIGN IN ORDER TO CREATE A PROPOSAL WHICH FLOWS AND MAKES SENSE, NOT JUST RANDOM FORM, AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS DESIGN COULD BE CONSTRUCTED IN A REALISTIC WAY. WE SHALL CLARIFY ALL THESE UNCLEAR POINTS IN POST PART C PART.

critics from finAl presentAtion
1. no scAle 2. uncleAr function
3. no indicAtion of reAl life construction method
4. the ribs Are not controlled
5. in reAl life we cAn’t just mAke one whole piece of fAbric thAt lArge, needs pAneling
6. overAll, pArAmetric technique is not evident.
we estAblished thAt with the previous temporAry form work thAt we do not hAve the control of reAlizing the curvAture And reAl shApe of your ribs.
we Also reAlize thAt our design does not reAlte to its site surrounding And hence decided to set up A simple Axo drAwing, doing A more detAiled site AnAlysis, considering openings
And humAn movement, drAwing stronger connection to the site we chose.
FEEDBACK FROM PART C
124 CONCEPTUALISATION CONCEPTUALISATION 125
therefore, insteAd of using our temporAry form work, we decided to look At the
constructionmethod of zAhA hAdid’s music hAll, which used the construction
technique of frAmework + pAnelling. by breAking down the long curvy frAme into
segments, it becomes possible to fAbricAte,And sAme logic is used for the pAneling.
through 3d printing the segments of the ribs, we will get the exAct sAme shApe
of the digitAl model. it’s from file to fAbricAtion.
Also, by lofting eAch segment, you will be Able to get the pAneling surfAce shApe
As well , which cAn be used to trim the fAbric we mAde into the right pAnel size.

FINAL DESIGN (REFINED)
our design is now strongly relAted to the site And forms connection through clockwise & Anti-clockwise spinnning force (wrAps
Around tree), repulsion force (creAte openings to fAcilitAte circulAtion And flow) As well As Act As duAl function: pAvillion And stAge (As the Attrction force is Applied Around the previous stAge, we thought it could be replAced by our pAvillion; extending over it). users cAn still view And AppreciAte the beAuty of nAture At A miscroscopic cellulAr level. the concept of disintegrAtion And regrow of the pAvilion is Adopted where
the pAvilion cAn be quickly set up within A few dAys. through the period of time And weAthering effect, the membrAne will slowly
disintegrAte And decompose. during this period, visitors Are Able to view one to one scAle of detAiling of both nAturAl And mAn-mAde mAteriAls, especiAlly when it is lighted up At night.

through 3d printing the segments of the ribs, we will get the exAct sAme shApe of the
of the digitAl model. it’s from file to fAbricAtion.
we 3d printed the piped segments horizontAlly insteAd of verticAlly to sAve time And mAteriAl (filAments).
After thAt, we gently removed the support (creAted during printing) And insert wires to connect segment to segment.

this prototype wAs mAde pAnel by pAnel According to the pAnelling lAyout AttAched Above.
we were very hAppy with how the 3d prnted segments cAme out with connected into A dynAmic curve form.
however, we still think thAt the membrAne needs more refinement. we need to incorporAte reeds (from pArt c) to Add An Aesthetic detAil to
our model And to mAtch with our previous defined brief, enAlbling users to view And AppreciAte the beAuty of nAture in A microscopic
cellulAr mAnner. we Also think thAt the pAnels lAyout is not visible, And will try to refine in An updAted version one lAter on in order
to demonstrAte how it could be lAy out in reAl life construction to mAke it A workAble instAllAtion process.
