WEEK 8 : Project 2 : Analyse the Traffic Circulation near Howard Smith Wharves (ROMA STREET, SOUTH BANK)

Experiment 2

Generate a form by having the folie shooting the particles towards an empty spherical that represent the train station in Roma Street.

Experiment 3

An empty spherical with negative value is created at the train station in South Bank. By having the folie as an emitter, shooting out particles towards the empty spherical, a form can be generated from the particles which represent the traffic circulation in that area.

WEEK 8 : Project 2 : Analyse the Traffic Circulation near Howards Smith Wharves (FORTITUDE VALLEY)

Design Context
Identify the different train stations near to Howard Smith Wharves. By doing this, it gives me the information on where does most of the traffic comes from. Also, it gives me an idea on where to locate the private and public spaces in my building later on.

Besides, I try to generate a form out of this traffic circulation analysis. Using the folie as an emitter, shooting out particles towards the different train stations near to the site, I managed to get a few massing models.

Experiment 1
Generate a form by creating an empty following the path from the train station at Fortitude Valley towards the site.

a) Create an animation with empty follow a path

b) Besides having the empty sitting on the path, I import a train from google sketchup and let the train sits on the path. The train is mean to identify the passengers travel from the train station towards the site.

WEEK 8 : Project 2 : Analyse the Range of Users Activities (OUTDOOR, COMMERCIAL) near to Howard Smith Wharves

Experiment 2 :
Analyze the relationship between the folie and the 'outdoor parks' in Kangaroo Point, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane CBD and New Farm, Brisbane.

















Image 1 : some parks near to the site, Howard Smith Wharves, Brisbane

After identifying the location of the parks, I create a few empty spherical in these locations. By having the folie as an emitters, particles are shooting out from the folie towards the empty spherical.

Experiment 3 :
Identify the relationship between the folie and the commercial centers near to Howard Smith Wharves.

WEEK 8 : Project 2 : Analyse the Range of Users Activities (COMMUNITY) near to Howard Smith Wharves

Design Function :
As stated in the assignment brief, the building need to have 3 main function, community , outdoor and commercial area. I started by identifying the range of user activities near to Howard Smith Wharves. I mark the different user activities in Brisbane city and create an empty spherical in those location. Then by using my folie as the emitter, I tried to shoot particles towards those empty spherical to generate a massing model.

Experiment 1 :
Identify the relationship between the folie and the community area at New Farm, Brisbane.

















Image 1 : Community Center in New Farm

After identifying the Community Centers, I create empty spherical in those area as force of attraction. Then, I create force field in my folie and shoot the particles from my folie towards the Community Centers.

Video 2 : Particles from the folie moving towards the positive empty spherical created in the commercial centers

Experiment 2 :
Looking for the patterns of force field created by the emitter, folie towards the empty spherical located at the commercial centers in Brisbane CBD.

Experiment 3 :
Shooting of particles from folie towards the empty spherical created at Commercial Centers in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane













Image 3 : Community Centers in Kangaroo Point


Video 5 : Particles shooting from folie towards the positive empty spherical (21) created in commercial centers in Kangaroo Point

Experiment 4 :
Using the folie as an emitter, shooting the particles towards the empty spherical at the commercial centers in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.


Video 6 : Particles moving from folie towards the positive empty spherical at commercial centers in Fortitude Valley

WEEK 8 : Project 2 : Contextual and Spatial Parameters

Design Context : Understand the relationship between the site and the surrounding area by placing an empty spherical in the respective site. Then by using the folie as an emitter, an animation is created by shooting particles from the emitter towards the empty spherical in a specific location. Changing the 'particles' emitted from the folie to 'hair' , a massing model can be generated by joining all the 'hair' and forming a proper wall for the 'hair'.

Experiment 3 :
Finding the relationship between folie and New Farm.
