WEEK 12 : WORK ON THE INTERIOR SPACES

After getting the form done in Blender, I tried to export the blender file into dxf file. By doing so, I will be able to work out the interior space in Autocad. I decided to use Autocad to extrude the floor since the form of the building is curvy and it will be very hard for me to work it out in Blender.

WEEK 11 : Working on the interior spaces

I look for Zaha Hadid's building to get some inspirations for the interior spaces. Then, I come out with an idea to make the the building an exhibition on the first floor and the ground floor as a resting area.

WEEK 10 : LASER CUT THE MODEL

Before working on the laser cut model, I cross section cut through the model and trace the outline of the model in Autocad.

Diagram 1 : import the sectional cut through of the building into autocad

Diagram 2: Trace the outline of the model using polyline

WEEK 10 : come out with list of SCHEDULE,finalise the form

In today's class, I come out with a schedule for the rest of the week.

Diagram 1 : Schedule from week 10 until week 14

Diagram 2 : Perspective view of the model

Diagram 3: Editing the facade of the structure (highlighted in red color)

WEEK 9 :Edit the Form using 'CLOTH CONCEPT'

The previous model that I did during the interim is too solid, hence I made up my mind to delete the solid plane I created in the facade. Instead I tried to use the cloth concept to develop a more fluid facade, so that the new facade and the building look as in they are a a whole piece of structure.

Image 1 : The original model without adding in the solid facade

I am going to develop a new facade from this original structure. A piece of 'cloth' will be applied on top of this structure.

Image 2 : cloth applied on top of the structure

The cloth looks solid without the application of the modifier, 'subsurf'.

Video 1 : animation of the cloth applied on top of the structure

Image 3 : the surface of the cloth is smooth now with the application of 'subsurf' modifier

Image 4 : front view of the facade with cloth enveloping the structure

I go through more animation, trying to look for a suitable facade by adjusting both the position the structure and the 'cloth'.

Image 5 : the cloth is placed at the site of the structure so that it flows horizontally through the model.

I realised it looks better when the cloth goes horizontally through the building. This is mainly because my model is lied horizontally. Hence, it is good to have the whole structure goes in the same direction.

Video 2 : animation done with cloth placed at the side of the model

Image 6 : 'cloth' extract out from the model, red color indicated the facade of the building.

This is the view captured when the cloth is being animated at frame 53. I kind of decided to have this view as the facade for the building. However, I tried to put the cloth in edit mode so that I can made some adjustment to the cloth but to no avail.

WEEK 9 : Project 2 : CONTEXTUAL AND SPATIAL PARAMETERS

After the animation, 'particles' area being converted in a series of 'hair' ready to be made into massing model.

Image 6: First massing model

The wall curved inwards, and there is no wall formed underneath the first floor.
















Image 7 : A wall is added underneath first floor

Edit the first model by adding in wall and at the same time remained the wall curved inwards.











Image 8 : third model

Delete the wall curved inwards and create a horizontal floor for first floor instead of the original one which is slanting. Also remained the exterior wall panel created in massing model 2, turned it into a glass wall, enabling the passerby to see what is happening inside the building.
