EVENT INFRASTRUCTURE The Event Infrastructure encloses the Place des Nation stadium in Montreal with a long span thin shell concrete roof. The structure is designed to be efficient and elegant. Right by the Saint Lawrence canal, the roof resembles a washed up seashell that protects the arena. The organic shape proposes both a sculptural attraction and an economical solution to reinvigorate the historic venue. Seven arches support the six double curvature thin shell concrete pieces. The optimum geometries of the shells are devised by hanging models. The exact form of a hanging fabric in full tension can be used for a concrete shell in full compression. This method allows for the minimum use of concrete for the large span for an economical design.

The question of deployment has always been a focal predicament to overcome when sending structures into space. Origami allows for the ability to compact the structure tightly into an area significantly smaller than its deployed state, possessing a thickness only restricted by the thickness of the material. As well, it can be quickly and easily unfolded from its compacted state to its fully deployed state in just one motion, using an organised means to do so. In this study, origami is used in order to transform a two-dimensional flat surface into a three-dimensional volume that once deployed, will provide lodgings to space tourists aboard the ISS: the International Space Station.SPACE HOTEL PROJECT

The proposal for NDG public library in Montreal strives to become a secluded building that obstructs any distraction of everyday life for the reader. The heavy use of brick creates a historic feeling that suggests comfort and security. The brick walls are designed to provide structural support whilst acting as bookshelves. Thus books become a part of the walls of the library. The program includes a multi-purpose auditorium, exhibition space and a library. First three floors contain the exhibition space, auditorium and a large balcony for special occasions. Above that is the library, where the heavy appearance of the brick is broken inside with a courtyard. This allows for more light in the building. Books and study spaces are integrated on some floors and separated on others for a wide variety of spaces.

Lilium Pollen Grain - Grasshopper Screenshot

Our aim was to generate nodules repre-senting the pollen grain sculpture elements using grasshopper, and to experiment with the alteration of their geometries, size and distribution. We created an attractor system over a grid, to attract the nodules to a specific polygon, which we are also able to manipulate. Therefore, whenever the polygon shape is altered, the nodules follow. The grid itself is in the shape of a parabola, giving the skin a further 3-dimensional form. The nodules themselves are also modifiable, as we made it possible to change their shapes, ranging from a prism to a perfect sphere. Moreover, the radius of the nodules is also a parameter which can be modified.

Each pollen type has its own unique set of characteristics, allowing the species or plant family to be identified. The main features which distinguish one type of pollen from another are size, shape and ornamentation of the outer wall. Pollen grains come in a wide variety of shapes although the majority are basically spherical, oval or disc-shaped. The surface of the grain can also have a meshed, granular, grooved, spined or striated surface or can appear very smooth. The lilium pollen grain is oval-shaped, and its surface is granular. This 3-dimensional interpretation emphasizes the granular surface of the lilium pollen grain wall. The volumetric shapes are extruded randomly, seeing as the volumetric shapes of a lilium pollen grain’s granular surface is random.

Lilium Pollen Grain - Parameter Matrix

The adjacent matrix models the changes resulting from changing 3 parameters of the pollen grain surface. The 3 parameters are the following: radius of the nodules, shape of the nodules and surface division. These 3 param-eters were chosen as they are the 3 elements which differentiate pollen grains from one another. The radius of the nodules and their shape are 2 param-eters changed together. As the radius of the nodules is changed, their shape also changes from triangular polygons to perfect spheres. The surface division is the third parameter. Changing this parameter alters the distribution of the nodules from a linear distribution to a circular one, and eventually back to linear.

LILIUM POLLEN GRAINMICROSCOPIC METAMORPHOSIS

The project explores the morphosis of a microscopic organism through digital tools. The lilium pollen grain may be invisible to the eye, but it is modeled skin 2-dimensionally and 3-dimensionally on Rhinoceros. With algorithms designed on Grasshopper, the geometry of the surface, the elements present on it, as well as the overall layout and distribution of the entire skin are altered simultaneously.

The study on the alteration of their geometries, size and distribution was done by an attractor system over a grid, to attract the nodules to a specific polygon, which were also alterable. Whenever the polygon shape is manipulated, the nodules follow. The nodules themselves are also modifiable, as their shapes can change in a range from a prism to a perfect sphere.
