5 Key Points Of The Selected Site

• The users are mainly family members with their children and people ranged between 15 to 40 years old who have very good physical strength. (Cyclists, runners, etc)

• Relatively clear vegetation area (Open view when standing uphill) and attrac-tive view of Yarra River and natural environment.

• Relatively high level of both sides of the riverbed referring to the water level. • Major access to the Main Yarra Trail. (Critical location)• Spatially interactive with the feature of both water and earth.

Case Study 1.0 POSSIBILITY ANALYSIS• Developed from LAVA - Green Void 2008

Possibility analysis of poten-tial geometrical form finding allows to push the geome-try form to its limits so that we are able to find the criti-cal value and the maximum strength when the geome-try is in a relaxed situation performed by the Kangaroo Physics of Rhino Plug-in. While I am playing the origi-nal Green Void grasshopper definition, I developed two

more different types of re-striction plus a free-form ma-trix and a series of paramet-rically evolutionary . One of the two restrictions is that the geometry has a fixed spatial boundary (iteration 2) which limits the overall size while it is performing. This is a cru-cial condition as the select-ed site is a open field which has minor spatial limitation. Another form finding (itera-tion 3) is that the geometry contains a fixed intersection points which appears to be a radial form. Unlike the former one, this possibility allows infinite size of the geometry due to the changeable pa-rameters of multiple lines by using the Exoskeleton defini-tion in grasshopper. If these two possibilities combine to-gether, an unlimited geome-try would take place within a finite boundary which has the potential to maximum of the geometry’s performability. As for the free form (iteration 4), anchor points are dragged freely to form new geome-try based on a formulated skeleton in 3D perspective.
