The designer envisions the proposal as an innovative and sustainable solution, integrating elements----daylight into the functional, mixed-use urban setting with glazed volumes, creating a glittering tableau of simple materials and clean, unfussy lines. Direct sunlight creates an intense modelling with harsh shadows and its direction during the course of the day has a major impact. The consideration of daylight capitalizing on the resulting efficiencies, is about much more than energy efficiency. The mixed-use nature of the buildings spotlighting the reflective, shimmering and transparent qualities of glass provides working spaces in close proximity, Their sense of vulnerability is tempered by this feeling of connection, containing their inhabitants without cutting them off from the world.

Assignment 2: Tank: making the metal skin+ final photos

Preview division from last blog: Individually, part one is the one i'm working on. It is basically a blister form, so we marked the top shape with paper, then make a blister template as the starting point. Equipment involved: Guillotine, English Wheel, Tinsnips, Metal Clamps, Round Nylon Headed Mallet, Flat Nylon Headed Mallet, Shrinker Stretcher, Sandbag, Masking tape. Material involved: MDF, Aluminum Sheet several stages i have been through to make the metal skin of part one: Blister(stage one): Set up of the blister template Jin and Jeremy helped me a lot by the foundation shape making. Thank you my group members they are the best! The basic form of the shape is determined by the blister, then I hammered it on the sandbag into a bowl shape in order to further develop its shape. Free forming using the template (stage two): found the tricky part to work on: the front p...

Assignment 2: Tank (intro+file preperation)

Project two brief : create a 1:1 scale template replicating the motorcycle fuel tank as a group, then individually create an aluminium skin to adhere to a third of its contours. Group members: Our group has a good mix of architectural students and industrial students, as we naming ourselves the 'Kloud Nine', we worked productively and enjoyed so much learning from each other. File preparation: At our first meeting, we decided using three different ways to create the template, then see which one works the best. Here is the meeting records by our member Lornia: After approaching these three methods and discussing, finally we decided to use the Laser cutting method to create a criss-crossed hollow 'Skeleton' model. Then we moved on to work on the 3d modelling steps, To be honest I did not involved too much on this step, Tauqir who is very professional about Rhino Grasshopper, as a leader he helped a lot in...
