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.

ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Assignment 2: Tank (testings, assemble and division)

Summary: We went through a lot of testings to approach the final 'skeleton' template, that includes joints testing and paper masking testing. JOINTS TESTING Having the laser cut files ready, we started by testing the joints between each pieces. Different thickness of the joint gap we chose to test out, from 2.5mm-3mm. Testing on small joints, we decided to use 2.6mm thickness gap, and apply to the laser cut files. Here is the laser cutting video taken by Jin: ASSEMBLE FAILED   Started out FIRST attempt of assembling, found out that the 2.6mm gap is too small to fit all the pieces together, then our skeleton was broken. :(  Below: the broken template   Paper masking testing:   While we were waiting for the new laser cut template (changed to 3mm gap instead), we used 200gsm paper to cover up the broken template and test out the approximate shape of the fuel tank. ASSEMBLE SUCCESS   So we tried our ...
