Architects have always questioned what the cities of the future will look like.50 years after the adoption of the new cities program, the Pavillon de l’Arsenal recounts the history of Cergy-Pontoise, emblematic of this unique urban and human adventure.How can we build a landscape city in the 20th century?The first neighborhoods appeared just when our current lifestyles emerged, in the market gardens around the loop of the river Oise. In order to make the area more functional and enjoyable for those who live and work there, and for all the future potential visitors, with particular attention to the creation of spaces for cultural and artistic events.Because it is a “new” city, Cergy-Pontoise has, from the very beginning, an experimental ambition.The exhibition prompts us to ask how architects will respond to changes in contemporary notions of the city and its relationship to various scales.

300 words research for RETICULARS

The name of the construction that is researched is RETICULARS, which designed by Alisa Andrasek. It contains a series of cellular units to do parameter design, which is applied to interior architectural systems in this case, such as ceilings and walls. In this specific structure, the walls and ceiling are built in reticular series to distribute various infrastructures for instance lighting, sound and light storage systems. The partitions walls orientate a state of shelve which sight from the front. Because of the cellular units are in alignment, the shadow responded artistic shape. Moreover, wave function is involved to dominate the size and orientation of cells, so that within the change of size, orientations and vectors of cell to demonstrate the paths of lighting or sound. The significant achievement of the design approach, which is lighting and sound, can be programmed to emit distinct and, over time, variable behaviours between each cellular unit. And also the design solution of this project was mostly wave functions, which were used as a dominant algorithmic logic to differentiate size and orientation of cells. And the paths of the light and sound depend on the thickness of the wall. In additional, the storage system stores intensity of the light and sound depends on it as well. The reticular series investigate the production of architectural systems using algorithmically differential geometry. Spatial organisation of RETICULARS, parameter design was involved to calculate the range, scales and density of the each cellular unit. Her attitude towards technologies through out the process of design and fabrication most of her works are mainly the purpose of cellular automata, coordinate with parameter design to go though whole project. However the material was non involved because of design. The digital technologies it has used are Cellular automata, parametrically variable series/ parameter design, and auxiliary wave function; the combination of the technologies generates the RETICULARS.

concepts

Concepts:

Frank Lloyd Wright:

Simplicity 

There should be as many kinds (styles) of houses as there are kinds (styles) of people and as many differentiations as there are different individuals. 

Building appears to grow easily from its site and be shaped to harmonize with its surroundings if Nature is manifest there.

Use the soft warm, optimistic tones of earths and autumn leaves in preference to the pessimistic blues, purples, or cold greens and grays of the ribbon counter.

Bring out the nature of materials, let their nature intimately into scheme. 

Sou Fujimoto:

flexibility, uncompleted style of structure as the completed work.

The construction seems to be mingling, non-straight or straight solid materials cross through each other.

Building is openness, wide sight of the construction for surrounding environment.

architecture is as forest, bringing architecture closer to nature.

Free style of design at part of structure or appearance.

review of a new global style

This part of article is concerning a key word which is parametricism, which is a new global style of architecture and urban design.From the picture that article provides, I was felt complicated about what exactly parametricism is. I was looked up online and there was a website compare the difference of styles between modernism and parametricism; modernism advocates the standerdization and replicability, on the other hand, parametricism is the pursuit of continuous changes and diversification. And from the article. it details the part of definition of parametricism. It is responsive but revolutionary in architecture, by firstly ontological shift which the definition of new basic change of thought for all entities.So that i was got attention within the difference between modernism and parametricism. The research demonstrates the attitude of modernism is the way using normally basic geometric pattern such as square, triangle and circle in design. These series of geometric pattern however are fixed and closed which are not possess complex adaptability. In contrast, the fundamental of parametricism is shapable and adaptable. More likely, creative is the purpose of parametricism, which means it is no longer restricted on ossified geometric pattern while preferring to alterable and malleable shapes into architectural design to generate a new angle of viewing. As the explaining mentioned, when several ossified geometric patterns lay on the same layer, it seems no connection with each other without logic and order, and even feels simple and repetitive.But parametricism follows the rule of every single element has inheritance in common and subtle change in a design. And the content above is all my review of parametricism.

review of design thinking

After I read though the article of computational design thinking, I have knowledge the demonstration of computation which is relevance for architectural design. However, to distinguish the different between computation and computerization. In order to that, the introduction lists several methods to differentiate which computerization dominants usage of architectural mode while computation as a design tool and roughly defined. And then content of the graphical systems such as Sketchpad, GRASP and LOKAT are followed. Furthermore, the computation is reintroduced in the next paragraph as more detail, according to the introduction of the article, which is the processing of information and interactions between elements which constitute a specific environment, the pivotal word being interactions and the most general application of computation is in producing outcomes realised form the processing of internal and external properties. Viewing these picture beside the paragraph, the idea of the computation comes out of my mind which is the form of structure and generated by points and lines. And algorithmically build the relationship between each layers in different dimensions. In addition, difference with the hand-drawing and computation is that, in the past, hand-drawing makes architects confused as the reason of sketch with the exact numbers; in contrast, the system of computation could easily formulate and organize the layers and structure by mathematics. And comparing computational design with the old fashion modelling, predicable performance of construction on the program is more multidimensional visibility.
