This picture showing my glass ornament, relating to my theory of computational design being able to produce new geometries and forms in a more productive way. In my case I used grasshopper to generate the interesting curved form of the ornament.

This image showing the impact of my floor plan making a curved space for the user to interact with.

This image showing how my designs looks in relation to the surrounding environment as it dominates the original square house and provides more space for students and lecturers to use.

This image showing my main bridge for my model that connects my new building to the gym area. 

This image showing the curvilinear shape of the roof as it has been produced in grasshopper. Therefore again showing the ability for computational design to produce shapes that other forms of construction and design just cannot produce, at least in the same amount of time.

Herzog and de Meuron - House for a New Media Collector.

Pictures of my floor plan in relation to House for a Media Collector

I tried to use a similar layout that uses all curved walls.
Also the centre part of the layout will be used as a walk way and a reception.

The Moving Parts

Moving Part 1: Moving part 1 is a large blind for the glass side of the wall that rotates in and out depending on what the user requires.

Moving Part 2: Moving part 2 is a retractable roof covering made up of curves that can be moved into the corners to open up to the outside for a potential open air classroom.

My Theory 

The world or architecture and its construction will change drastically through "Digital design and construction" joining forces to produce new shapes and designs that would take longer to achieve if not for this new technology.

Quote from: http://ridleyco.com/digital-design-and-construction-delivering-the-intelligent-built-environment/

This form would wrap around the Squarehouse

It would connect internally to the Squarehouse 

Then there would be bridges coming off it that connect to other buildings surrounding it such as the roundhouse. 

This form could have the main part of the building in the air.

It would be located just out the front of the squarehouse and extend over the top of it.

Then it could branch off from the top down into other buildings and it would need some extra support

This form is broken up into three different sections that can contain the different parts.

It could be built over the top of the square house or off to the side.

This would be a more grounded and stable design.

This from is spread across multiple levels.

The base could serve as the foyer of the building and provide the access to other buildings.

The top levels could provide a nice relaxing place for study or scenic lecture theatres

This form would be built around the Squarehouse.

It would need some other form of support especially if there are going to be bridges branching off the side of the building.

Again this form could support scenic lecture theaters or communal study spaces.

This form would be built over the top of Squarehouse

The pillars would have to be larger or have more of them in order to support the weight of the building and branch off into others.

It would provide a large amount of space to contain a wide variety of resources.

Five Images of the Lumion Project

The designers that this project is based off is Zaha Hadid and Ma Yansong from MAD Architects. I drew from Zaha Hadid to create the grass structures as she was known for creating curvy and unique shapes.

The concept behind the grass 'blobs' is drawn from the concept of sustainability and the fact that there are more and more projects that are being built that utilize vegetation within the architecture.

Ma Yansong also is known for making unique and difficult shapes such as the Absolute Towers and therefore inspired my design as one that potentially pushes the limits of materials.
