WEEK 5: THE MODEL
31/03/17 — Group collaboration
COLLABORATION BETWEEN BIM + DIGITAL MAKING
On behalf of BIM, particularly, Emily and I, we were so lucky to see our concept come to life as Zac scripted and modelled it wonderfully using Grasshopper.
We would like to thank Zac for working tirelessly to make the design work! It looks amazing!
Key for the image below:
Blue — represents the fabric structure
Red — represents the grid structure
He mentioned to me that the only problem now is sorting out a way to reshape the top to make it more curved instead of flat. (But maybe… It could work if its flat? Thinking of IOT and that they could do something with the ceiling?).
After seeing the model beautifully constructed in Grasshopper, we are confident in its form, the concept of addressing Stress Reaction, and the way it addresses all requirements for the other groups. There’s still need for refinement due to the fact that it is still in its early stages of space creation. Spatial dimensions in this design can easily be changed due to its fluidity in form. It’s a matter of trial and error to continuously adapt towards the final design.
