ARCH 653 Project 1

Project 1 Cytokinesis Tower The Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio's project, "Cytokinesis," planned for Doha. My design intent is to create a façade that rotates according to altitude and azimuth angle of sun path diagram.        Form Creation 1.      I created a circle and made a series of circles using a curved scale using Graph Mapper. Then I used Evaluate Curve function and Shatter node to segment the curves.                2.      I used Loft to create outer and inner surfaces. Then I made perforated surfaces using Split Brep Multiple node.           3.      Then I joined the Items using Brep Join I used Weaverbird’s Laplacian Smoothing to join the surfaces seamlessly. Then I used Triremesh to create equilateral triangles.            ...

  ARCH 653 Project 2 Building Information Presidio Modelo, Cuba Former Prison,  Present Museum Image 1: Presidio Modelo   Parametric Façade: I created a parametric façade that changes the size of the openings according to the sun’s location. At first, I created a parametric adaptive panel family with a rectangular parametric opening in Revit without using Dynamo.     Image 2: Adaptive Panel I chose an element from the mass model to apply the adaptive panel. I used LunchBox package in Dynamo to divide and apply the panel. I created the surface normal for each segment face of the mass. I imported the adaptive component in project file to add it to Dynamo. I used Sun Setting to get the sun angle. I mapped the parametric value of the panel according to the sun angle. The panel works for South side of the building. Image 3: Visual Program for Adaptive Panel that Changes With Sun Location Parametric Roof Truss: The parametric roof truss can change according to the bui...

  Building Information Building Name: Kolumba, art museum (former St. Kolumba church) Location: Germany Architect: Peter Zumthor Image 1: Kolumba Builbing   Project Video Building Mass: The building mass was created by using solids and voids. It was difficult to control void using parameter. I wanted the profile of the roof to remain the same. So I created one equation for each height to maintain the overall profile of the roof and sure the height does not go beyond a certain point. H1= if(height_increase_1 > 0', height_increase_1 + height, height) Envelope Pattern: The original building had perforated bricks. I faced a lot of issues with perforated brick pattern because it overloads Revit. I was unsuccessful to load that pattern my building. So, I changed the street facing façade of the building. I started with a 4-point adaptive circle to create the hole in my pattern. Image 2: Adaptive 4 Point Circle   Then I made the pattern that has H...
