DAB510 - EMERGENCE WEEK 7 JOSH KIM 8304548

• Recent rises in interest in animation within architecture operates within contemporary work

where buildings involve movement, use of curvilinearity

• Example 1 – Mould of a tap handle being deformed and manipulated by string and wire

• Material appeared sensitive to conditions with which it engages

• The process shows how an emergent form and emergent texture developed

• Most important quality (for testing material) is the capacity for the dominant force (mould) to

be affected by that with which it engages – need to be manipulated

• Peter Eisenman – pitfall was that modern architecture tried to capture the spirit of the age

rather than displacing it and being critical and building upon the currently feeling, instead of

just commenting?

• Diagrams or experiments become more of an engine in the project rather than something

which transforms itself into a physical reality’ – therefore we shouldn’t look at these

experiments in such a simple way as to extract planning or dominant forms from them but let

then fuel the project

Ednie-Brown – The Will To Animation

• Design of a large scale multi – residential project in China, project was about maximising the

sunlight conditions for each apartment

• Focus on single condition – sunshine and on primary shape – cube

• Process of designing is not entirely a result of conscious activity, logic is helpful for analysis of

requirements but often enough solution seems to arrive suddenly “out of nowhere”

• Design without the hand, using logic alone? “design – less design”

• Creation of elemental programs to solve problems one by one, street design, gradient limits,

layout etc

• Programs would output potential plans and create a program to evaluate the output, link

these together, have the results evaluated by contractor

• Criteria of value to be met automatically by the program are defined in advance, everything

else however is left up to the program to decide randomly, free of human intervention

• They are not designed by hand they are “phenomena” generated by the word (law of nature)

of that famous designer)

EMERGENCE – CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT WEEK 7 JOSH KIM 8304548

Concept Development

Aims:- Explore the outcomes of a subject being manipulated by a

another force- Explore the relationship layers have with each other and

how they react when under some force or stress

Experiment 1 – Equipment- 2 x Half Onion- 750ml Saucepan - ~ 750ml of water- Electric cook top

Method1) Bring water to boil with half onion (full heat)2) When boiling point is reached drop to half heat3) Record results every 5 minutes for a total of 20 minutes 4) Test with both 250ml and 500ml of Water

Experiment 1

EMERGENCE – PYSICAL EXPERIMENTS WEEK 7 JOSH KIM 8304548

Parameters • ½ an onion (approx 45 – 50

grams)• 250ml of water• Results recorded at 5 x 5

minute Intervals at Medium heat after an initial stage of reaching boiling point

• Final photo with subject out of the water

Experiment 1A – 250ml of water

EMERGENCE – PYSICAL EXPERIMENTS WEEK 7 JOSH KIM 8304548

Experiment 1B – 500ml of water

EMERGENCE – PYSICAL EXPERIMENTS WEEK 7 JOSH KIM 8304548

Parameters • ½ an onion (approx 45 – 50

grams)• 250ml of water• Results recorded at 4 x 5

minute Intervals at Medium heat after an initial stage of reaching boiling point

• Final photo with subject out of the water

Findings:

- Layers started to raise and open around the core

- Core not necessarily in the centre of the subject

- Discolouring / transparency on the thinner outer layers

- The more it was submerged or exposed to the heat stress

the more it deformed and changed
