>>Project Description
This model represents the crystallized skin with hexagonal cells giving to viewers the impression of the soap bubble.All this contributes to create the metaphorical buildings envelope within the area for the planned buildings.
This project results to be the skin studies in which the rule based design, the Ecotech skinand cutting edge structural design intended to be integrated each other in the explorative ways.A biological model for this algorithm is omniscient of the soap bubble, represented by paper models with honeycomb cells which contain formal and structural properties of ribs.
The algorithm is further completed by the neural network with honeycomb grid on the cylinder and three to a number of inputs. This neural network is that after those input are on, the shortest path between a node on the grid and those input is chosen as the winner and the neighbouring nodes around that winner are deformed through time creating intriguing deformed skin features.
The above algorithm is run changing a few key parameters which create different patterns with two distinctive formal and spatial features of the skin. One of them is cell size and another is ribs.
Those skin properties with the cylinder are very significant because they influence to views from the inside and create the ecological facade system including the solar panel fitting and proper shading system(dimension of ribs and cells, and angles of ribs) as well as the aerodynamic system with the wind shielding..
Furthermore, this deformed honeycomb skin can form the structural external facade which can be load-bearing dispersing all surface forces on the entire skin. Furthermore,this honeycomb skin intends to be distinctive to many of this kind of shapes, containing the 3 dimensional cells with the recess and the excess, and creates the intriguing the spatial and aesthetic experiences both outside and inside.
The likely programmes or projects for the application:
-The environmentally controllable skin systems with the variation of the cell size, cell density and ribs for all building types.
-The structural surface(dispersed forces around the surface).
