PROJECT 2

Soundproof Tunnel Location: M3 Freeway, Junction of Yarra River and Merri CreekDesign Period: June 2015Description: This is a geometric design project, which was developed by using Grasshopper. The basic concept of this design project is to decrease the noise pollution on the site by using different techniques and materials.

CELL STUDY

There were three different kinds of the basic cell form that I developed in the case study due to the research on soundproof technices. The first shape is the pyramid shape, which could reflect some of the noise, the second shape is developed from the pyramid shape, which could reflect and counteract the noise in the gap, however, would be more complex to form than the pyramid cell, the third shape is a flat cell with glass in the middle, could only reflect a little bit of the noise but could let the light go through. These is how different cells suitable for different areas.
