In this project, I explored how the use of simple geometry can create complex structures of different scale and use, through parametric software such as grasshopper. I was particularly interested in how contrast between different elevations can create interesting and unique atmospheres. I also explored the possibilities of scale and wanted to push the notion that an object can be designed for all scales.

​

At first, I generated designs that had the primary focus on circulation, where the space is used for walking. However, my subsequent iterations pushed the scale and created spaces for people to sit, relax, play and skate. I always question the functionality of the space and ask myself every time I came up with a new iteration, “What can people do in this space?”

​

After I presented at the webminar, I realised that my project was not what the tutors were looking for. The key feedback was to narrow the focus of my ideas down to a concept that you can then pursue in depth. They wanted me to study deeper into circulations and threshold of each object and explore my options on my waffle matrix. Also, having a clear concept was important in helping me make design decisions when confronted by infinite possible parametric variations, and let me precisely articulate my intent, and the spatial effect. I have always been bad with concepts and I felt the need to work on that in the future. Nevertheless, if I had more time, I would have attended the workshops and get better in grasshopper.
