Final board for presentation of pavilion.
This is a first step towards a sketch that I can render. The way that I tried to bake it in order to render it must have been wrong and I am working on cleaning it up, but I wanted to post the start of the direction I’m heading.
This video created by Cristóbal Vila animates the relationship between math and nature in a mesmerizing way, showing the Fibonacci sequence and the Voronoi diagram through the creation of shells, sunflowers and insect wings.
This colored diagram is intended to have more information than the last, with the same color coding as was done with the multiple arches on top of one another, so that the relationship between the two informs you more about how the shape of each arch corresponds to the dots of the arch connection points.
I have taken the series diagram one step further with a breakdown of each point on each arch that sets the parameter for the arch dimension. This way is simpler and more clear than the image from last week with them piled on top of one another. Here, you can see the way each arch adds to the previous one, growing the space below for travelers, maintaining near uniform scale of growth across the site.
Here I have taken the dimensions and drawings found in my research on the International Terminal in Waterloo, and used AutoCAD to create a series diagram, which exhibits the change of the three-pin arches over the length of the terminal by stacking each of the 36 arches directly on top of one another. I chose to utilize the standard AutoCAD colors associated with lineweights for clarity.
This week’s research into one of my three images from Assignment 1 has turned up these images from Sir Nicholas Grimshaw’s International Terminal. I plan to pull from them in order to create a series diagram showing how the shape of each 3-pin truss changes and shifts over the 400 meters of the station.
Anna posted our spiraling images, and I wanted to include another image: a non-spiral. This is the Fraser spiral, which is actually an optical illusion and not a spiral at all, but concentric circles. Go ahead, trace it!
