WEEK 9 : Project 2 : Process on Generating The Final Form (1)

Design Concept
In order to come out with a design concept, I take into consideration of the range of user activities (design function) and also the social and cultural activities relevant to the project direction (design contribution).

After analyzing the site, I realized there are lots of commercials centers in Brisbane CBD, some outdoor parks scattered around the site, exhibition halls in both Brisbane CBD and Fortitude Valley .Also there are some university and schools which act as a community centers in the city.

























Image 1 : map showing indicating the important places in the near Howard Smith Wharves

Referring to the map above
Pink color :commercial centers such as the shops, dining restaurant
Green color : outdoor parks
Purple color : university and schools
Red color : exhibition halls

Hence, I decided to combine all these places in my design which carry three main range of user activities. I defined commercial centers as a busy place, opening to the public while outdoor parks as a place for relaxing, hence it need to hide away from the public. As for the commercial centers, such as university or library, it tends to open to the public yet at the same time it needs to have an enclose surface.

























Image 2 : force field created on the site carrying a different function

From image 1, it shows that Brisbane CBD is more happening, so I create more force field in that area, assuming more people coming from that direction. Whereas in the fortitude valley, I created one force field indicating the exhibition hall. There is one force field on story bridge to show where the noise and pollution comes from. Another force field is created to indicate the university and outdoor park in Roma street.

Image 7 : the scene rendered when only force field in Queen Street is positive while the rest negative force field




















Image 8 : change the particles in image 7 into 'hair'




















Image 9: change the one of the force field in Brisbane CBD to negative value while the two other force field in this area remained positive.




















Image 10 : Only the force field in the exhibition hall near Fortitude Valley remained negative

WEEK 9 : Project 2 : Waves Simulation Test

Waves Simulation Test

I try to create waves on the site and see how it effects the surrounding buildings. However, it does not work out properly.


Video 1 : waves moving up and down on the site


Besides, I tried out the tsunami waves fluid simulation on the site.

WEEK 9 : Project 2 : The Design Issue

Design Issue
It has been noted that the site is near to Howard Smith Wharves, hence most of the noise and sound pollution will comes from Story Bridge, which is the main bridge connecting the city to the suburb. It is rather noisy especially during the peak hour where most of the people go to work or study.

Hence, I created an empty spherical on Story Bridge and generate force field in the empty spherical. Particles are shooting towards the empty from the folie.

Image 8 : amount of hair appropriate to turn into wall, forming the massing model

WEEK 9 : Project 2 : Analyse the community and society near Howard Smith Wharves

Design contribution
In order to have the social and cultural activities relevant to the project direction, I first analyze the community and society in the particular site.

The majority of the people go to the city during the weekdays to work, at the same time there are people going to the city to shop. During the weekends, people go to the city to pray at the churches or just to chill out at the parks or join some exhibition or concerts held in the exhibition hall.

From the analysis, it shows that most of the social and cultural activities are carried out in Brisbane CBD, the capital of the city where there are parks, shopping complexes, exhibition halls and some dining restaurant.

Hence, a few empty spherical are placed in the shops around Brisbane CBD to attract the force field emitted from the folie. A massing model can then be formed.

Image 10 : decrease the amount of hair to 100




















Image 11 : further decrease the number of hair to 10

WEEK 9 : Project 2 : Analyse the Traffic Circulation near Howard Smith Wharves (NORMAN PARK and the four different locations)

Experiment 4 :

Create an empty spherical representing the train station in Norman Park, Brisbane. On the other hand, turning the folie into an emitter, emitting particles out of the folie.These particles will be attracted by the empty spherical in Norman Park.

Image 1 : A path is created along the site and the train station in Norman Park. The empty spherical is then move along the path towards the folie during the animation.

Image 2 : the scene showing the particles shooting from the folie

Image 3 : Turning the particles into a series of hair

Image 4 : particles being rendered at different scene

Image 5 : changing the particles into 'hair'

Image 6 : decrease the amount of hair in image 6 and turn off the 'B-spline'

Experiment 5 :

Combining experiment 1,2,3 and 4 by placing 4 different empty spherical at 4 different train stations. Then, create 4 different paths for the four empty spherical, this is to ensure that the empty spherical travels a long the path towards the folie during the animation. This indirectly shows the movement of pedestrians (the four different paths created) from the train station (empty spherical) towards the site.
