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


Video 1 : Empty follow the path at different train station

Series of images showing the results of the animation.

Image 5 : Hair rendered at different animation frame




















Image 6 : Decrease the amount of hair in image 5




















Image 7 : Hair moving towards the negative empty spherical

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.
