Site Analysis EVOLVING WITH TIME Adriana D’Amico, Al Johnson, Meyvin Puspita South Elevation 1:250 Design Intent Voronoi Catenary Structure Ecology: Growth Over Time With the combination of voronoi and catenary structuring, a unique proposal for the gateway project for Wyndham City has been developed. The structure will integrate into the sur- rounding landscape and promote ecology by including a trellis of vegetation that is supported with a capillary system, encouraging the growth of vegetation overtime. The positioning of the anchor points for the catenary structure was derived from analyzing a basic scenario of cars entering the site from both directions and drawing their lines of sight and relation- ships with one another, forming intersecting points. Aiming to prolong the welcoming experience, the structure horizontally is placed across two areas of the site. The voronoi cells will be made from copper which will naturally weather and will progress in colours from brown to green, reflecting the weathering coastal aspect of Wyndham City and rustic notion of its coun- try. Structural galvanized steel will also be predominately used which will surround and hold the voronoi cells. Parametric advancements enabled us to formulate a catenary structure, precisely apply voronoi to the surface and fabricate such complex double curved geometries through unrolling each individual cell.
