EVOLVE: MATERIAL MEMES</ p>

Before introducing the next phase i had edited some of the first phaseinformation to make the concept itself stronger. I chose to cut one brand out to show more connection between thetwo brands so below is the existing brands i chose.

In order to embrace the nature of the pluripotent relevance the meme as a design tool; materials, components and brand trajectories should be derived from a combination of candidates’ source material in an effort to create “a nexus of complex relationships” related to brands and the materials that make them.

(for full resolution please click here)   So on my second phase I start by defining a material that match perfectly with the word “trust and reliability” and the plate below will show how i start todefine little by little the material and the architectonic components of that material. (for full resolution please click here) Finding materials that can change form and state as i defined how trust increase by timeso to make it similar, the best match would be material that had to involve time to change form.The plate below will show materials i experimented on and how I combined them together.Creating new patterns and design using the material i chose to be interesting. (for full resolution please click here) (for full resolution please click here) After making experimented on various substance and chemical I chose “resin” asmy final material of how they are the strongest but still doesn’t use too much amount of time to dry off. Combining it with sponge it shows the best out of resin, Sponge is quite soft at the beginning but after the resin go through the sponge becameharder and can also stand by itself. Below I tried many experiments with resin for example,dip it or even changing it form first before dipping it in to the resin. (for full resolution please click here) After some experiments I thought of many ways to used it in architecture asa architectonic elements but then end up with a partition to also represent the safety of trust and reliability.Below is the atmospheric representation of the space made with resin and sponge how they can transform into shapesand forms from the model I made.

SELECT : BRAND GENETICS

       If last semester was dedicated to architecture and its DNA, the coming one will look into interpretation; shifting focus to the collective methods of enterprise, business and their respective identities.        Design is a word that gets bandied about a lot at Airbnb, whether it’s applied to the food, the employee experience or the space itself. ”The food is actually designed. We specifically choose our chef because he designs food we believe is appropriate. It’s locally sourced, aims for zero waste and is exceptionally nutritious.”       This transitive ability of design presents evidence that brand, although an immaterial concept, can materialize through auxiliary types. Genetic information influences operations and output regardless of scale, medium or hierarchy. The first exercise will analyze and identify brand using biological terms which will be used to describe and discuss candidates relative to one another. I chose 3 brands which is Moon Express, Tile and Thinx

      The first brand is Moon Express which is a company with the goal of ultimately mining the moon for natural resources of economic value for the benefit of humanity. I already listed out in the plateabove on the right the terms that express the brands well which is scientific and futuristic of how they involved high technology and ambitious/visionary as how they made plan for the future already. Optimistic as how they are doing public education and campaign but importantly I choose to focus on trust and reliability becuase it's interesting how they haven't succeeded yet but many people still believedthey can. For each brand i did 2 diagrams, first to explain briefly the brand and the second one is the more detailed of the selected topic of the brand so for moon express second diagram I divided it in 2 ways of how they can gain trust.

      The second brand is Tile which is a Bluetooth tracker device with a largest lost & found community. "similar to the first brand I list out all the main identity which is functional, smart,durable and simple which can already describe Tile physically very well. Tile is also customizable where you can choose your own case or personalized your own Tile. The main topic I focus on is community. The second diagram shows the community from when there's not many Tile user back in the past and Tile usersnowsadays. Tile not only connected people with their stuff but also connected people together.

      The last brand is Thinx which did quite a good job of understanding what women want.It is a period-proof underwear where it was once banned from the advertisement because they were using the word period so it's quite obvious that they are straightforward. It's also zero-waste because they reduce the use of tampons and they also do a charitycampaign for women in African. In the second plate, I focused on the technology and cloth they used, the sewing method and what happened in between layers.

     On the last diagram, I choose the common identity between the two brands first to see thebigger picture and narrow it down by combining all three and arrange it so it is more understandable. As it shown its ends with trust so on the bottom I showed how trust had been made and gainedby the three companies and because everybody doesn't define trust the same way they did I had quitea big problem on choosing what really is the issue to focus on.

Fling Competition 2nd place winner

Group Name: 3536A+

Project Title: The Raffle

 In South East Asia, there are many countries are underdeveloped in delivery service within the country. We have chosen Indonesia because the country consists of islands and therefore things have to be delivered across the sea. This can take more time and effort to transport both objects and humans across the country. Consideration and research about the current condition of the country and their culture have been conducted.

What we have designed was meant to be the country’s center of the near future drone delivery service. The Raffle will be placed on all the islands; however, the largest site will be placed on the center of Indonesia, Kalimantan.

Our main intention was to transport iconic goods between islands in order to improve the economy. Starting from a small scope of one country trading within, this system can grow into an international system between countries in the same continent and soon globally.  

The Raffle is designed to accommodate both package delivery and human transport drone. With repetition of form stacked into layers, each layer is rotated along the center core to create platform on every single floor of the building. The edge of each platform is lined with solar panels that generate energy for the power outlet used as drone charger. The core contains outer and inner ramps that circulate packages up and down. The core space of this building also acts as the center of natural light reducing the use of electricity.

To create harmony between the building and its environment, 3 floors of sky garden has been designed to be used as main interactive space, the façade is made from perforated pattern using Indonesia’s cultural pattern, keeping a welcoming picture of the whole.

We hope to increase interactions globally with our design.

Project 1.3 Frateral Twin (1)

Fraternal Twin

Design production has, as one of its inevitable and crucial characteristics, the built-in principle of optioning (option and multiple solution production).

Any singular proposal is a scenario that emerges amongst a population of twinning storylines. These possibilities can be explored as mutations, expressed through different intensities of the fundamental genes of each solution system’s DNA.

Ultimately these options comprise a set; a set of sister and/or brother possibilities within such given frameworks as angle, distance, joint, program, site, material or institutionality.

Fraternal twins are the same but also different. It’s this concept of dissonance applied to studio multiples. Fraternal Twins, So near and yet so far by Steff Yotka,  2011.

Define an institute’s alternative identity  (Alt-Institute) within the vocabulary, rules and limits defined in previous phase work. Craft an argument around institutionality and pedagogy facilitated through architectural language.

According to my last phase of how the building is built in a courtyard of surrounding buildings and how my toy is based on connecting those building together with steps. My new project will be locating on a site with similarity to the case study. I chose Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Renovating the existing library.

The first picture is the diagram showing how it is related to the case study and my toy. And how the program would be built and how it would be a better study place than the already existing one.

As you can see in my site plan the existing library is locating in the middle of the courtyard and is connecting to the two building beside.

For this third diagram I showed how it is surrounding by these building and how they are connected so first is to understand the space.

On the fourth diagram I compare the flexible activities that are happened in the program so similar to the Why Factory research center the interior allows mostly formal activity and the outside area is more flexible where you can eat, drink or even lying down there.    

Next before showing the comparison of the circulation I did a diagram showing the operating hour the two library (the top one) first because the circulation diagram (the bottom one) is basing on the operating hour.

As you can see the existing building doesn’t really allow students to be working over hour but the renovated one will. The library itself is still open at a proper time so that it can be manage easier. Even though the library is closed there’s still a way you can pass through to get to the working space.

Next is the atmospheric representation of the space. First big one is the daily life representation which represent the everyday life habit of students. The picture below represented the special events that happened. In this picture I choose TomTomNight that used to celebrate the new coming of the freshman students. So as you can see the stairs can also be used as a bleacher. The small perspectives beside show the interior view of each floor and how the space be used. The last diagram on the left is the section that cut through each part of the building to show more of the interior space.

Lastly this is the same perspective view showing how those three building would fit in the same size. Not only to show how it would fit but also showing the zygosity of each building and how it change to be the final looks.

Project 1.2 Play Gifts & Manipulatives

The Institute Vis-à-vis Educational Philosophy (2)

This is the continuation of the latest post it’s the video showing the possible sequence and differentiation of the results. This will lead to the upcoming project of how different size of small space can generate new kind of overall space.

Project 1.2 Play Gifts & Manipulatives 

The Institute Vis-à-vis Educational Philosophy

        “An open-ended toy can provide usability for applied learning through developmentally appropriate hands-on experience. A game can evaluate the methods and teaching practices of a specific pedagogy through rule-formation. A puzzle can explore an academic subject or theoretical concept through establishing limits.” 

So after looking in the detail part of The Why Factory. I used the concept of how the steps are different in size but stilla pattern. Like the higher it is the smaller the steps will be.And how the building built in the inner courtyard.

"STOCK" from stair, block,and stackand the idea of how the stock graph is different in height. My game is very similar to that. I used my black block to be the surrounding wall/boundary and the orange block to connectthe walls you made. The result you will discovered a new space created in different height of blocks and different kind of ways you used to connect those walls.

 the top four are the manual of the game.   

And the bottom four are examples of the result.

Project 1.1 Didactic DNA Architecture Vis-à-vis The Institute (2)

According to the last post this one is a diagram showing the rise and run of each case study stairs in comparison as you can see each of them provides for different function so they have different slope for a good example the TKTS booth allow people to sit and enjoy the view so it will be more like a quick sitting but for the why factory tribune it is more suitable for a longer sit, for reading and else.

Project 1.1 Didactic DNA Architecture Vis-à-vis The Institute (1)

Punnathorn Phuwichit (Saipan)

Different Institutes operate in different ways because they believe in different worldviews, in other words, they have different DNA.

Analyzing from both an institutional and architectural perspective of the institutes is the objective of this phase.

The Why Factory (T?F) is a global think-tank and research institute, run by MVRDV and Delft University of Technology and led by professor Winy Maas. It explores possibilities for the development of our cities by focusing on the production of models and visualizations for cities of the future.

On this first panel, i was focusing on the setting of the building and how it was built. The Why Factory was built inside of the courtyard of the faculty of Architecture at Delft University. So my main concept is layering. By building an exterior in an interior and within that there's another interior.

My second plate is focusing on the flexible boundaries and activities, like because of how it was built with no wall to connect all parts together the activities in each area are varies. I separated them into formal and informal activities as you can see below.

On the third plate, the details plate, I focus on the circulation and flow that happened in the space. The smaller space is the upper it is and fewer activities happened.

On the next three plate, i am showing similar examples from MVRDV to support my main concept of the first three plate.

The last three plates are examples of the same concept but from a different architecture. Some of them also show contrast.

During the second session of the workshop we were challenged to create your own animation to the story of the ASA model project. We created a storyboard defining the main scenes of our animation and then we created a animated version of it. This workshop required us to practice all our skills, from sketching to animation in AE. We had the possibility to 3d model, render scenes, manage lineweights in illustrator, and establish a clear workflow through different softwares.

Workshop 6.1 - Motion graphics 1.0

Workshop 6 introduced us to basic features of motion graphics and visual effects by using Adobe After Effects CC (AE). A professional software that will boost our capacities in your project presentations. We get to know the software interface, elemental tools, importing and interpreting footage, creating assets and be organized with media. The workshop also introduce workflow between AE, Adobe Illustrator (AI) and Rhinoceros 3D.

Workshop 4.2 - Introduction to render Introduction

In workshop 4.2 we worked with digital rendering of architectural images. Starting from a given rhino model, we developed the rendering routine working with VRAY 2.0. First, we set up an exterior scenario using the provided 3D objects (vegetation, people, cars..) and the already defined point of view. Afterwards you will apply material to objects, establish a few lighting conditions of the model and render the scenes. We made five scenes from the same 3D model.

Workshop 4.1 - Constructing Image

Workshop 4.1 inquired into the making of image. We employed techniques of implementing photography into constructed images. During class, We selected 2 rendered views - 1 from an external and 1 from an internal point of view of the 3d model. We also applied a series of steps as listed under ‘Constructing Image’.
