Typology Field

This is the beginnings of my 3D investigation; each element has been modelled quite spontaneously based upon the programme requirement. Some of these are flexible, others bespoke i.e. some are mildly reconfigurable networked ‘event’ spaces, whereas others are far more specific in their architecture.

Programme

An updated programme diagram that includes relative areas prior to working in 3D.

City Dynamics

These two sheets will eventually be ‘wired’ together (see sketch below) to demonstrate the potential for semantic city feeds that visualise the rhythms and fluctuations of the city. With suitable annotation they will also help to illustrate the open event initiative over time; the whole idea is that these patterns help to influence and inform a new urban cross-programming.

If I am able to convert the dataset into a 3D visualisation I could then potentially augment this over the digital city network map for an interactive exhibit.

City Feed Architecture

This is my new city feed pipe diagram which describes the method for accumulating the dataset from a range of twenty existing Web resources. The current design fetches, regularises and truncates before filtering and sorting. The output is based on a 365 day time period. Theoretically, this would power the City Dynamics visualisation above.

Mapping City 2.0

This is very much a work in progress…a cloud diagram to map the extent of City 2.0. The backdrop is an extract from The Century is Over, an Evolutionary Tree of Twentieth-Century Architecture – published by Charles Jencks in 2000, which of course I have begun to extend…

Sketch Section

Another extract from the sketchbook…this week will be spent formally planning my building. I seem to be developing a good mental image but will be interested to see how it pans out when I begin arranging the programme.

a kitchen for George…

I expect you may have seen this already. Perhaps this too?

Mapping over site

This model was a further investigation into the digital production techniques I identified. Conceived as an experiment with tessalation, this evolved into a folding excercise. The model is a combination of the sites of underground historic interest in bristol and that of present day point of interest.

For Mateusz: OMA conversion of a coal refinery

I came across this whilst browing and thought it might be useful if not already seen.

Programme shuffling

Circulation attempt2

This diagram rearranges the elements of my programme under four major groups (Education, production, presentation and research) , and looks at the relationships that each element requires.
