France Pavilion in Milan Expo is kind of like a waffle model, based on France's landscape. The reason why I choose this building for model making is, making a waffle model is what I want to do in this course, and the concept of France Pavilion is really worth to think about, and I want to learn their thinking process in the further study and work. For this model, the most difficult part is makeing the digital model, and finding out each pieces during the model making process How to make the digital model of it will introduce in the document.

Xian Living House - 2nd



The original building:

Xian Living House is a concept model. The point of this design is the moveable panels at the inside of this house. This is my first time to use 3D Print to make a part of physical model. The difficult part is the scale for 3D print. The thickness of those panels is 2mm and there is a hole at the bottom of those panel. Also because of the range of error, that makes the 3D print part more and more difficult to control. More detail information will show in the document.

Vijayawada Garden Estate Apartment - 3rd

https://gegao214.blogspot.com/2019/06/vijayawada-garden-estate-apartment.html


Vijayawada Garden Estate Apartment is also a concept model. For this building, the main concept of this building is the flexible facade and some moveable walls. Residents can decide the inside space, but technically it hard to achieve in the reality (engineering aspects.) So this model will only show the flexible facade for presenting its concept. For this model, the diffcult part is to figure out how to fix those moveable boards. After the discussion with tutors, the fixed setting looks like the image showing. Meanwhile, because of the scale of the fixed setting, I choose 3D print to make it, but it still has some small errors during the process of model making. More detail information will show in the further document.

Vijayawada Garden Estate Apartment The original building: https://gegao214.blogspot.com/2019/06/vijayawada-garden-estate-apartment.html More images of physical model: https://gegao214.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-fabrication-assignment-2.html This document is about the process of making Vijayawada Garden Estate Apartment. This building is similar to the other one I made in this course. Both of them are from the same Architectural firm. The feature of this concept is modular system and sustainability. Residents can design their own space especially the terrace area and building facade. So this model mainly presents its modifiable facade area and shows some options for reflecting its concept. The tricky part of this model is the fix device that holds the movable board, becuase the model itself is a conceptual design, not an actual building, and there are few cases in which modular esign can be fully implemented. So bascially there is no much information available on the structu...

Vijayawada Garden Estate Apartment - The Project Matrix 2

Image
Architectural Precedent Vijayawada Garden Estate Apartment – Penda Architecture Key concept  Vijayawada Garden Estate is a high-rise residential project which belongs to Pooja Crafted Homes. This project mainly focused on green living building, and creative spaces. Penda Architects is the project designer. Nowadays, high-rise apartments is becoming the main-stream way for people and it can effectively reduce the impact of the shortage of urban living space caused by the increasing population. After the trend of mass-production in architectural industry, architects should consider space flexibility and individualism become again. And in 1960s, Japanese architects mentioned a new theory of architecture development, Metabolism. It means metamorphosis and transformation in biological way, and it is mainly about the endless change of interior and surrounding environment occurs in the building. (Raffaele P, 2004) Among them, Nakagin Capsule Tower, designed by Kurokawa can be...
