  • 4 CONCEPTUALISATION

    I am Chen Lin from China, shanghai, currently studying third year of architecture major at University of Melbourne. To become an architect is my dream since Year 10 in High school, because of its charm as a combination of Science, Maths and Arts. I love travelling and photography since I could use my foot to measure the world, use my eye to feel the culture and design of buildings that sit in different context. I would impressed by the ancestors wisdom in the ingenious constructions, such like timber tenon in the temples and sublime domes in churches. I would also lost myself in the beauty of the geometry and light in the modern architectures. While the time moves on, digital technology has been applied in designing since late 20th century. Nowadays, digital software becomes the trend for assisting the designing and fabrication process, which highly provides efficiency, and more opportunity for the final projects.

    In 2015 semester 1, I had the opportunity to start touching Rhino in Digital Design and Fabrication class. We had generated a head wear for defining personal space by analogy the idea of section from an egg cutter. During the designing process, the use of command such like contour, boolean helped us to form the shape and rationalized the ratio of each section cuts and we have used laser cutter to produce our product. In my opinion, through the employment of digital software and technology, we could test materials and perfect the outlook of our project. There more possibilities can be formulate in computation compare to a 2D base paper drawing. In the computation process, testing The experience I have on 3D Digital software is limited to Rhino only, and this semester is the first time that I learn grasshopper. Our future will be born in this virtual world.

    Digitalisation and physical model help us to develop our idea step by step. Process of digital making shows more conceptual design such like the shape volume, frames, which help us fabricate much more precise and complex

    Project. Our design idea was encourage more freely and conveniently since the digital technology eliminates the gap between virtual model and physical outcome. Complex

    geometric shapes can be easily formulated by digital technologies. This conclusion had been deeply experienced when we optimize the flow of the curvature for our project. And with the three dimensional software such like Rhino, our design thinking and mind are energized and opened to a larger boundary.

    In the 1960s, after twenty years recover from WWII, the whole world developed, it was an era of bumping technology. It was an age that everything was possible. Archigram was born in this background with its neofuturistic, anti-heroic and pro-consumerist style, drawing inspiration from technology in order to create a new reality that was solely expressed through hypothetical projects. 2

    The plug-in city by Peter Hook, would be the most provocative example. It contains modular residential units that plug in to the central machine. The traditional impression of architecture was broken. In the plug in city, every cell of residential, official, commercial space becomes a single unit with high mobility by giant cranes.

    The city itself is no longer buildings but a constantly evolving mega-structure. The whole structure would evolving towards the best outcome that serve the inhabitants according to peoples actual needs. Although, this imagery was not built, the idea behind had inspired many architectures and design. Such like the Metabolism movement in Japan.

    The Nakagin tower by Kisho Kurokawa is one of the most important icon of Metabolism movement. It is the first interchangeable capsule building in the world. The capsules were prefabricated with unite utilities, and is attached independently and cantilevered from the shaft. The flexibility provide organic change of the building, and the plug in methods allows more durable life of the building which create more sustainable living style. 3 The building is still using nowadays, but none of the single cell were moved and replaced as it originally designed. It was caused by many external influence such like the lack of economic support to run such avant project.

    However, the courage and creativity that jump out of the box is the part that we need to appreciated in these works. As designer, we are fighting at front military against defuturing development. The responsibility of designing is not limit to atheistic appearance or functions, it is more of a living style that could slow down the rate of defuturing and redirect people to sustainable habitation. New time is coming, new design intelligence is waiting us to explore, and computation is the tool.

  • 10 CONCEPTUALISATION

    Design into future is not necessary being crucial to solving the existing problem, but guiding people towards more sustainable life. The sustainability can be interpreted as renewable resources, durable infrastructures, more efficiency consumptions and so on. In the French architect, Francois Roches strange expectation of future attracts me very much. The imagination of his work broaden my mind of how ecology can collaborated with algorithmic thinking in architectural design. He detects the resilience in the building and design the building with its intellengence. In the example of the image at right, the building reacts to the rhythm of the seasons. In winter, it looks like solid cut-out of ice and snow. The transparent cube likes the cavities that could be found in glaciers. In the summer, the rainwater collected by a pool would be used to refrigerate and making snow. 4 The building will response to the transformation of water in different condition. This rules can be seen as simple principle for this house, but requires further technology development to realized. But I

    think there is no impossible unless we have never try to imagine it.

    Computation design has brought more opportunity to redefine designing thinking and practice. It encourages us to dream and step out of trivialization and tradition. The digital computation generates what beyond our imagination. With the logic of algorithmic thinking, the capabilities of modellers based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines(NURBS) such as rhino, grasshopper visualized the morphogenesis transformation under certain factors/situation. Such as the biometric design which is currently becoming the mainstream for the Architecture design. Among these, I want to use the example of Franois Roches projects, Bioroboot as precedent to discuss the new possibility that computation could produce for architectural design. The algorithmic rules in his ecological design is to set the project within a certain science fiction scenario and operate with sensor system that collects psychological data from the environment and people to construct new type of biomorphic architecture in an anthropomorphic way in order to response to the site and users with immediatey. This new type of formulation of an architecture form would be

    way under humans ability to calculate without the digital simulation.

    Responding to the site is always the esstential part in an architectural design, with this biomorphic logrithmic, the architecture will be no longer a static, but a changing formation like how we are inhabited with the city context nowadays, in the future, the ambiguity of the impact that effect each other between human and cities would be logrithmicazed, and be controlled towards more sustianble future

    living style.

    With the engage of computation, traditions and craftsmanship can be combined more sufficiently with contemporary practice and culture. With the same material that used in traditional fabrication process, Computation allows the craft plays in larger scale with no difficulty. In this case, the light-weight steel geodesic dome forms firstly as primary structural, and it was based on a computer-generated grid wrapped around it. The secondary structure was materialized through bamboo which is Hong Kongs traditional scaffolding technique that used for building scaffoldings. In order to install and bend the bamboo sticks into a grid that wraps the steel dome with more accuracy instead of the traditional intuitive and imprecise craft skill, exact algorithm sphere penalization was calculated. An approach of purity and repetition around the equator and imperfection and approximation at

    poles was produced.

    A complex geometry and space were formulated by the simplest component, and can be efficiently achieved by digital forming and digital fabrication. The property of the materiality is tested with most potential by using performance simulation

    software.

    This precedent mainly demonstrated the transformation from the principle in the shape of sea urchins plate skeleton into architectural design that testing with spatial and structural material -system in 1:1 scale by coding with morphological algorithm.6 The simulation of building performance that incorporate with performance analysis test the material firstly to assist for choosing appropriate material acting as extension of the recognized bionic principles. In this case is, the limit of using the 6.5 mm thin plywood sheets. As this project was designed by large group of people, the algorithmic thinking process act like the medium for participants with different responsibilities communicate and work with continuity and connectivity, thus resulting in more efficient time allocation. Furthermore, the algorithmic design also encourage the application of the use of digital fabrication systems such as the seven-axis robot that used in this case which has high capability of producing geometrically components and Joints economically. 6 In addition, the digital generation of the form

    can be interpreted from the data scheme which make it easier for people to repeatedly read the complex geometry in order to analyse and modify the critical elements. It is not as the folk concerns like that algorithmic theory would take over the design responsibility from the designers, the computational generation is still designed by people since the designer could understand the results of generating code, knowing how to modify to code to explore new options and speculating on further design potentials.

    The only shortcoming for computational generation would be the degeneration of innovation. As the designer, it is better to understand and being able to design software for designing. We could inspired by script which is written by others, but we have stand on this giants shoulder to look further and explore more, that is the way to promote the digital thinking and the way to push the development of technology.

    Computation augments designers ability to deal with complex geometries, which can be highly demonstrated in Zaha Hadid Architects work. In the case of Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan. The flow pattern of the building is simulated and calculated precisely that perfectly responds to the sites topography. A precisely designed terraced landscape establishes alternative routes between public plaza, building, and underground parking with avoid of additional exaction and landfill. 7 It is a good case that demonstrate the potential of parametric design to convert a disadvantage into one of the key designing ideas. The simulation in algorithmic thinking enhance the generation of these elegant curvature. Simultaneously, the form generation of the surface also create responsive contour interior space which reflects the auditorium layout.

    Behind this homogenous skin which is multi-functioning, construction logic, technical systems are required and experts from multi- disciplinary were engaged. In order to achieve the large-scale column-free spaces for interior, innovative structural solutions such as boot columns and dovetail tapering of the cantilever beams has been used to achieve the inverse peel of the surface from the ground to the west of the building and support the building envelope to the east. The complexities of the structures highly enquire advanced computing for the continuous control and communication among the participants for this projects.

    CONCLUSION

    Briefly summarise Part A. What is your intended design approach? How is it innovative? Why is it significant to design in this way? Who and how can benefit?

    Through the conceptualization in part A, I was introduced and acknowledged about grasshopper and start to understand the algorithmic logic under the programme. It provides more possibility for the form generation with easier control and simple but strong fundamental logic. Although I just started to learn this computation technique, I was amazed by its flexibility and coding logic. Through the research of the precedents, I am kind of looking forward to design our project in a more bionic morphogenetic system which could response to the nature environment outside of the office (which is our site) or more relate to the human inhibitions and movement inside the building. I hope the final project that we construct would not only create the beauty of parametric form, but also can change the atmosphere in the site which could make users feel relax and

    comfort.

    LEARNING OUTCOMES

    In a short paragraph, outline your experience learning about the theory and practice of architectural computing. How has your understanding developed from the beginning of the semester? How could you have used your new knowledge to improve a past design?

    Firstly, I could identify the difference between computerization and computation now. Computer is like our pens, computerization is to physically digitalize the existed idea and form in computer, which I always do in the last two years in designing class. The designing products were still in the boundary of our imagination. However, in the computation methodology, we gives our ideas in the way of mathematics thinking, We are still taking charge of designing ideas but the flexibility and opportunity that computer programmes have would provide far beyond our expectation. If I have chance to change my previous design of personal space, I would conclude an equation or simple rules for NURS software such as Grasshopper to modulate and development to get both more

    dynamic form and more interesting visualization of the interaction between people.

    CASE STUDY 2.0B.3.

    ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2010 is a bending-active parametric design sits in the Stuttgart University. This research pavilion has investigated the new possibility of structural and architectural form through computation and numeric simulation both of the structural frames and the materials performance based on the elastic properties of timber. Ingenious joints (fig1,2) are designed to convert the flexural stress into stiffness for the thin strips. For example, the elastically force stored in each bent region is subsequently connected to the neighbouring strip which contain tension region, increase the structural capacity of the system.

    Unlike the normal digital design processes which always separate design form and external force as two entities, this pavilion shows a successful approach to processing computational form generation with physical behaviour and material characteristics at the same time. The digital form generation is entirely based on the elastic bending behaviour of plywood strips. They use a large number of physical experiments on deflection limits to defined parametric value for digitalizing model, also carefully calculate and morphological differentiate the locations of every joint to construct more stable structure as well as achieve lightweight system.

    GRAPH MAPPER IS AN EASIER AND MORE CONVENIENT WAY TO EMERGE THE STAGGERED STRIPS, HOWEVER, IF WE CANT UNDERSTAND THE EQUATION THAT USE IN THE GRAPH MAPPER, WE WILL LOSE THE CONTROL OF THE FINAL SHAPE FORMULATION. SAME PROCESS FOR THE FIRST HALF DEFINITION AS THE PERVIOUS ONE, UNTIL DIVIDING POINTS ON ARCS. WE THEN USE MAPPER TYPE SUCH LIKE PURLIN AND SINC SUMMATION TO GET WEAVE INFLUENCE ON EVERY POINTS THAT CONTROL BY THE MAPPER. THEN DUPLICATE THE NEW LINES CREATED BY

    THE MAPPER, ROTATE THEM IN ORDER TO BE LOFT TO CREATE STRIPS. THEN WE DUPLICATE THE WHOLE DEFINITION, AND ROTATE IT TO GET SLOTTING PAIRS OF STRIPS. THE MULTIPLICATION FACTOR CAN GUIDE THE POINTS MOVE IN EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE DIRECTIONS TO CREATE MIRRORED ITERATIONS, AND GRAPH MAPPER TYPE CAN BE DIFFERENT FOR THE EVERY FIRST STRIPS AND EVERY SECOND STRIPS TO CREATED CONCAVE FLUSHING.

  • WE WANT OUR INSTALLATION HAVE IRREGULAR CHANGES ON IT LINEAR STATUS. THE EASIEST WAY TO ACHIEVE BOTH GOAL OF BUILDABILITY AND SEEK FOR ORGANIC FLOW IS USING SOLID FORM AS THE FRAME BASE TO

    CREATE IRREGULAR CURVATURE, EMERGE FLOW BY TWISTING STRIPS.

    DESIGN POTENTIALS

    In order to combine the idea of biomimicry and give the installation an idea of growth, I was inspired by this simple iteration which show that the twisting of strips could not only be achieved by simple twist the circles at two ends, but can be play with stretch out circles into different directions(like cross). This shape could only be achieved with at

    least 3 circular frames, with a fixed middle frame. Since each circular shape is not on a flat axis, the angle contains in one unit can be utilized and modified when we duplicating, rotating and scaling, this angle would defeminize the final growing structure of the whole ceiling. However, the repetition of one unit would be too rigid and lack of organic aesthetics.

    40 CRITERIA DESIGN

  • Images at left is another trail of potential development from one of the shell-shape iterations. The flowering shape is achieved by enlarge and rotating the original iteration. Although this is not contributing to any form of flow, it tested the idea of form generation with progressive increase of scales.

    In this iteration, we use boundary surface instead of loft to extrude surface with the use of related item. In our next step, we can cull certain pattern by applying this methods. In addition, instead of create two set of lines by duplicating and rotation in aim to loft strips, we may also try using related items.

    This is iteration based on the merge of different field. In order to generate a closed volume with

    field lines, I used two sets of field in opposition direction, each of them shape a half sphere. All the parameters for these two sets field are the same in order to let their field lines meet at the same points to emerge a sphere as entirety. The twisted angle of the strips in this field is what I am looking for, they are flat facing outwards and start pitch more as they bend more, this characteristic is very similar as how the veneer acts in the real world.

  • CRITERIA DESIGN 45

    First idea is to explore the possibility of self-structural support for fabrication and the form generation.

    We have laser cut diagonal strips lines on a small size, single layer veneer which contained only one direction grain. In this prototype, we want to test the capability of natural veneer to formulate a volume by only strips cuts on one flat sheet. It successfully provided nice deformation and differentiation in bending extent, and indicates that the width and length of every strips will result in different bending extent. The bend along the grain direction has strong stiffness, however the direction across is fragile for strips to be rolled and bent. If we can solve the problem of cracking in this prototype, then we could continue this idea to consider to make slots on the edge of each sheet as joints.

    For further development of material choice for better performance, we have discovered laminated veneer would be better choice with high flexibility. The image shows above is PLI-Flex veneer which is made up of 2-ply or wood on wood veneer. It is a quality veneer face laminated to a cross grain veneer backer. The perpendicular grain between the two layer adds stability and flexibility to the veneer sheet. This material would be more preferable for our project if we keep going on this doubly curve design.

    BASE ON THE LOGIC OF DEFINITION WE HAVE DEVELOPED, WE ARE GOING TO DISTURB THE GRID POINTS ON THE LINE, AND CONSTRUCT DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL FRAMES WHICH ARE PERPENDICULAR TO THE PLANE OF GRID. THEN THE STRIPS WILL BE USED TO CONNECT POINTS ON EACH FRAME TO EMERGE FLOWS (AS SHOW IN PAGE 36). THEREFORE, THE MOST ACHIEVABLE TYPE JOINTS WE CONSIDERED IS THE EXTRUSION VERSION OF THE CIRCULAR FRAME BEING USED IN GRASSHOPPER. IN THIS CONSTRUCTION METHODS, STRIPS WOULD BE INDIVIDUALLY INSERT INTO THE MATCHED SLOT ON THE FRAME.

    The organic flowing texture on the ceiling can response to the collision of different ideas from different people. In addition, the curve growing branches (grid line in GH) matches with the meandering thoughts and ideas in

    The installation will cover the whole ceiling. In order to avoid shadow on the table and TV, also reduce the impact while peoples writing. We consider to install two types of lighting. In the central part of the ceiling, the light will inset along the groove of ceiling installation to avoid creating shading effect. The other type of lighting will be located above the installation, and their location should be above the middle line of walkway surround the table and chairs.

    For the presentation model, we choose to use circular frame as the support and joints for the structure. And speculating on the organic flow generation on the base algorithm of grid spreading.

    After the presentation, we want to modify the shape of flows in our design, in order to make more smooth flush of overall shape and give more sense of intergrity, I change to the idea of grid pinch instead of grid spreading, which reflect more vividly of collision of different thoughts.

    AND OUTCOMES

    In the field research of strips and folding, I was inspired by the various and rich application of parametric design in architecture, the most avant-garde design is always tested and experimented as a form in pavilion. At the early age, digitalization in designing was only a tool to visualize the exist image in designers mind, but now, more and more projects rely on parametric form generation to enrich architectural aesthetics and atmosphere. Indeed, computerization becomes more and more reliable on simulating the physical factors that are influential to architectural performance, such like the application of force simulation in ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2010, use the materiality of plywood to self-support and self-formulate the structure and the shape. The new plug in that we learned in recent week is this type of tool to visualized the physical law in virtual software. And it is very worth for further exploration for the final design.

    During this critical design process in the recent weeks, I have improved my grasshopper skills, but still feel helpless when I struggled with transforming the real world logic into the algorithmic thinking in grasshopper. I started to familiar with data structure, and can correctly fix the unmatched data structure when we apply one algorithms logic to another. The overall progress for our proposal generation started from focusing in one chosen field with specified criteria for the site at first, and learning and develop technique from the exist work to visualize our idea, and modify the idea with computerization process, in this case is the algorithm definition in grasshopper. It is an ambiguous process, that makes me feel sometimes I am using GH as only a tool to visualize my idea, but sometimes it take the role in reverse as a guide or engine to push the development and modification of the design.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • 52 CRITERIA DESIGN

    In this section, we have experienced what we have read from the part As readings about Computerization and algorithm, including its impacts on traditional design efficiency, order and logic. The use of grasshopper active the potential of form generation, however, I also strongly felt that it would consumed and obliterate my afflatus and enthusiasm at that particular moment when I was still lack of full understand and fluent handling of that software. Furthermore, some ideas which are easy to hand crafted cannot be transformed direction within the same logic, we need to convert them all into mathematical logic and find out the relation and calculation with points, lines, and surface, and it can be very hard for some case. Nevertheless, on the other hand, some beautiful creations could not be fabricated in physical world as well.

    For next few weeks, I will look more detail through materials, and modify the definition to provide better atheistic look and control of the lighting effects for the design with keeping study and learning in grasshopper tutorials.

    The main fundamental issue around the project was the ques-tion that how this project is relat-ed to the concept of biommicry.

    In one hand our design intention was to create a geometry/form inspired by nature, for instance, the vessels of a leaf. In the other hand, the main idea of bio-mimic design is the imitation of the mod-els, system and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems, not just a design that looks like an element in na-ture. This was a fundamental issue that need to be addressed in new part of the design phase.

    [BIOMMICRY ]Issue associated with the concept of Biommicry

    The final geometry we had for in-terim was criticized about its sim-plicity of geometry and rigidity.

    As the main concept of our pro-posal is aiming to visualize the in-visible flow and changes which are very unpredictable, our ge-ometry should modified to a clos-er approach of a more organic and free form with more com-plexity.

    [STRIPS AND FOLDING ]Issue associated with the concept and form

  • PROJECT PROPOSAL 55

    In new part of the design phase. Despite voronoi creates a com-plex and volumetric form which is desirable and it gives the place a sense of singularity but it does not reflect the main concept.

    In addition, although voronoi is a very volumetric form but its mass is not an appropriate form for a ceiling installation that can be fitted into a 24 square metres meeting room unless it would be a combination of voronoi surface and volume. (credit to Eddie)

    [VORONOI]Issue associated with the form

    Regardless of any other issue, one of the selection criteria was build-ability of the form in a limited time and budget as this project was a real project for Hachem office. (credit to Eddie)

    The construction method that we implied which break through the ribs by indiviual strips is a very time -consuming way to assambly the installation and it lacks sense of aesthetics because of the explo-ration of the structure ribs.

    To solve the issue,the team de-cided to focus more on one of stu-dents geometry and pick-up the positive aspects of other projects.

    Despite the chosen geometry need to be developed more, but it op-timizes the design of the concept around the flow of idea in a meeting room located in architecture firm.

    Also by focusing on between spaces that exist, we could cre-ate better experimental flow for our site occupants. This will help us tie our design ideas together to support the overarching de-sign concept, which ultimately leads to more functional, beau-tiful and meaningful poetics.

    [BIOMMICRY ]Idea of flow in nature

    The curvature of the whole flow will be future determined after the exploration of specific biom-micry algorithm script.

    The definition is going to further developed towards the goal of creating more coterminous tubes that could better represent the sense of layering and free flow in order to create more aesthet-ic appearance and our design concept.

    The structure will be still constructed in a ribs-supporting system. However, we are considering to swap to a new meth-ods that connect the strips at the outer edge of the ribs instead of intersecting through the ribs.

    However, with this new methods, we need to beware of how the distance between each ribs can be fixed to al-low the deflection of the strips in order to fabricate more accurate geometry compare to the digital one.

    Ladybug plug-in (creadit: Nick Dean)

    Whilst it is a plug-in that analyses sunlight exposure and distribution, there is quite a high level of control that allows the user to pinpoint exact locations for the sun

    these locations acted as lights within the meeting room (4 different locations/positions were input into the SUNPATH COMPONENT)

    RADIATION ANALYSIS component was used in order to analyse the distribution of light within the meeting room

    Areas of most light exposure were located A point was set at each of these areas Points then used as ATTRACTOR POINTS in order to vary the thickness of the strips

    throughout the geometry Closest to attractor points = thinner stripsNote: Still had to retain the overlap of the strips in order for the rivet connections to be possible

    Contribution/relevance to the design (creadit: Nick Dean) Works towards creating context-dependent parameters Design is somewhat unique to the meeting room site Different lighting plan/layout would contribute to different effects, there-

    fore, the grasshopper definition is quite flexible & responsive in that regard Although the effect is not overly noticeable due to fabrication restrictions

    (had to retain the overlap of the strips), the strips no longer all perform in the same way

    strip thicknesses vary within each bulb In a general sense, working with Ladybug establishes a workflow that

    draws upon both generative design and analysis a little bit different to how we designed throughout the semester

    South Pond Pavilion, Chicago 2010 by Studio Gang Architects

    THE IDEA OF THIS WEAVY RIBS IS INSPIRED FROM THE SOUTH POND PAVILION IN CHICAGO. HOWEVER, WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF THE GAIN OF VENEER AND ITS FLEXIBILITY THAT ALLOW THE BEND OF THE VENEER. THE THERE JOINED WEAVE CREATES A RIGID STRUCTURE THAT SUPPORT THE STRIPS LIKE FISH BONE.

    HOWEVER, IN THIS PROTOTYPE, THE RIBS CRACKS AT THE PUNCH POINT, DUE TO THE LACK OF THE FLEXIBILITY OF THIS PIECE OF VENEER WITH LAMINATED BACK WHICH MADE THE VENEER BECOME RIGID. THE CRACK HAPPENED MAY ALSO DUE TO THE SMALL SCALE OF THIS PROTOTYPE, IN THE REAL 1:1 INSTALLATION, THIS SITUATION MIGHT NOT HAPPEN, BUT WE WILL STILL CONSIDER TO CHANGE TO THE VENEER WITH PAPER BACK TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM IN THE FINAL MODEL.

    AND OUTCOMES

    As a class project containing 13 people, we didnt successfully produce a completed fine model as we expected at the end of the semester, I think it is due to several reasons.

    - Team work cooperate mismatched sometimes. We just start to work as a group after week 9, therefore there is less unity to work together efficiently and people had less passion and understanding for the final chossen design proposal that decided to be the base of part C final model. In a group work, every process should operating at the same time to save time and give feedback between each groups on time to efficiently fix the problems and made modification to both digital model and fabrication.

    it should not be just one direct working flow from concept---geometry---pattern---joints----unroll----fabrication model. Instead, the working flow should be cross referenced to each other.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • PROJECT PROPOSAL 113

    https://vimeo.com/169959169

    From the first to the last, our initial concept didnt changed too much, and the persist of this concept push us to develop more potential by using computerlization-driven design. This subjects force us to learn a very different digital model making programme that push us to step out of our comfort zone and discover the new innovation and possibilities of the way to design, and the way to deepen the connotation. By using grasshopper to design a parametric proposal, it allows the application and simulation of the law in the physical world such like gravity, forces and lighting. In addition, it gives us the chance to visualize the invisible rules in the natural world, such like distributed behavioural model of birds (boids).

    Biommicry algorithm has been experimented to assist the concept of visualizing the invisible flow and change in the site by simulating peoples behaviours and picture the flow and collision of the ideas born during the brainstorm in the boardroom.
