PART B INITIAL DESIGN

Site Location:

Bicycle Trial near Merri Creek Primary School

Main User: Most are CyclistsExisting Problems:

Exposed under the sunlight; Noise from the busy traffic flow over the bridge; No resting points throughout the whole path. No lighting during evening time; Design Approach: To provide a noise SHELTER where cyclists can park their bikes and have a rest

USEFUL FEEDBACKS:

1. The project does not address the architectural characteristics. It is more like a industry product rather than architectural project.

2.Do not try to attach too many func-tions which the design is unable to achieve. Instead, make clarity on solv-ing one or two problems that the site really existed in a more specific way.

3. Aim for something the project can passively achieve instead of abusing so-called “renewable energy generator” like solar panel or wind turbine.

4. Site selection should be more clear on a certain location with a map indi-cated.

BIOMIMICRY RESEARCH

GILL SLIT

Gill slits are individual openings to gills. Such gills are characteristic of cartilaginous fish such as sharks, and rays. Most of these have five pairs, but a few species have 6 or 7 pairs. Shark gill slits are not covered, but lie in a row behind the head. The ante-rior edge of a gill slit is motile, moving outward to allow water to exit, but closing to prevent reverse flow.

While the shark is moving, water passes through the mouth and over the gills in a process known as “ram ventilation”. While at rest, most sharks pump water over their gills to ensure a constant supply of oxygenated water.

Its characteristic such as filter effectiveness and starit power have already been stud-ied and developed into some biomimicry design.

PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT

ALGORITHMIC TECHNIQUE

In order to parametric modeling the design, I build a system of the solar angle in grasshopper and link it to the component which influenced the twisted strip surface . So now each of the louvers will move in a different angle in order to block the sunlight in a parametric way. And then by using ladybug plug-in in grasshopper, I add panels to react from the results of the solar radiation. So the model can perfectly simulate the performance in realy life.

So by analyzing the sun angle of the site in Merri Creek, it is possible to gain the solar angle of a particular time which allow precise control of the rotation of the louvers. The dynamic control of the louvers is the key fea-ture of this project. The angle will be achieve to automatically set to cap-ture most of sun light only allowing smoothed light through the slit barrier.

3D PRINTING MODEL

SITE LOCATION

Fourteen 2-meters tall moveable louvers will be set to respond to changing sun light conditions. The louvers are made of fiber reinforced polymer, which is both strong and flexible. They are controlled by the poles placed at middle part with the actuators, they are capable of asymmetrical bending to allow light to radiate in and out of the as well as avoiding the stink from the drain hole.
