_Variety of form_

Branching form

Given all the results of my investigations with Branching system, i was able to create seemingly infinite variety of tree form by simply adjusting a few parameters. The next step was to select a single form to be developed into design proposal for the prototype. The brief was open for interpretations for the design of summer Biennale in front of London City Hall.

By changing the parameter (rotation in x-y-z axis) on the primary branch, I could seamlessly change the entire form as all the secondary branches grow and follows the coordinates on the segment on the primary branches.

_Logic System of Branching element_

The above shows the descriptions of parameters for which i have been using for the prototype. Having gained an understanding of how the prototype operated in real world, contraint by it physical state and material, i extended my studies into 3d models. The logic i discovered and developed in physical models were directly applicable in digital model. It is also to explore the form making potential according to the wind shape produced.

_Physical Model to Digital Model_

Discovery of Pattern Generated

During each stage of the research i was considering the architectural potential of the prototype. In order to make the wind pattern controlable, I had to test it it in artificial environment in Maya Fluid Test. The key task was a discovery i made when experimenting with altering the curvature and and number of section of the primary branches that define the number of secondary branches.

by changing the “flap” of the primary baranch i could change the rotation axis of first secondary bracnches which are inter-related to the second, the third and so forth.

pls note the video ratio size is not in proportion.
