Week 10 - Assignment 3

Progress

I decided to continue on with my Assignment 1/2 concept and begin to evolve it into a realistic approach and application into the physical world, given proper structural constraints.

My process was to first take my original contoured lines (which can be seen in earlier posts), and then to use these individual pipelines in a way which creates a space according to their deformation and elevation. The thought behind this is directly related to Assignment 1, where I had created contour lines from a Loft (which can reflect the landscape of a Site Plan). 

In this stage of my progress, I have managed to make a dynamic relationship between the deformation of the landscape and the overall shape of the building, as the actual land characteristics are represented through the height of each tower, and the XY dimensions of each floor.

 These pictures show the first stage of my assignment, developing the shape of my structure, which will be placed within Site A: The Toaster which fronts onto the Sydney Waterscape. I hope to use this mixture of terrains and transition from parklands to urban development to water as a fairly interesting component of my surrounding, which as explained previously, directly effects the form of the structure.
