MArch 2nd Year - Parametric Urbanism + System Theory

This project ask for a way of increasing population within Melbourne CBD area.



The exploration of this particular studio is on systems philosophy;
• emergent property
• subsystem interaction and systematic behaviour

another graphic attempt... mood board

The mood I'm trying to express here is about creating order in chaos.... using systems theory to generate a parametric structure for the growth of Melbourne CBD to 1 million population.

How do we suggest a kind of structured growth that within a certain constraint? What are our parameters? What should my city be made out of?

However, in the end, I think the graphic tells more of the initial attempt of a designer where he is still uncertain of what to do when he looked at the 'mess'....

damn... should get help from sid and nathu for this...

Climatic Skin by ASYMPTOTE

yes... another Abu Dhabi project...

The YAS Hotel is a collaborative project between Hani Rashid from ASYMPTOTE with ARUP. This project has again taken a 'climatic skin' like a blanket covering and creating a controlled environment.

Well, if the Black Oil can afford to pay this kind of ROOFchitecture... go for it man....

I do find buildings that carries a dual nature of design form to be interesting. In this case, I think the roof's geometry over took whatever the what's below. However, the roof responds to a much wider context in terms of its form, scale and aesthetics. Especially with the lights on at night.

Have they worked out a way to get the glass panels clean?

Base on the form, I find in hard to believe all these unique panels are all planar, especially the ones on top of the bridge.


Anyway.. well done~!
