EXP 3: Week 1: Image and Mash-Up

The Valley for the landscape will reflect the plains of my ethnic background of Indonesia. The key feature of the valley will consist of distinct layers of contours that get smaller as it gets higher. I also intend to reflect this landscape in my design.

Working in two dimensional basic CAD drawings, you had to do all this heroic behavior to create an environmentally sensitive design. With advent of Bim, technology is facilitating a much bigger movement around sustainability in the building space. Bim opens up building performance modelling to the entire building construction community. Making virtual modelers that subject the model to the buildings much anticipated weather and usage patterns allows designers to experiment with their resources to optimize the best design for the overall structure in real-time environments. This becomes more cohesive when an organic approach is established, where by allowing the design to evolve whilst having certain physical constraints. These can be in the form of algorithms and computer simulations that test the materials making them interact in unexpected ways that can give an unpredictable physical result. This notion of Geometric adventurism shares the notion of how by using computer programs, the overall design can evolve under restrictions and considerations to give new optimized results. By using computer systems, they speed up the process of getting to an optimized design. Though programs alone can still achieve this if scripting isn’t used where experimentation is standard. With these programs it is much easier to organize structure to have a certain “rule” or principle such as community architecture. Community architecture in modernism had a goal of social betterment through the provision of responsible buildings, environments and landscape for the people. In the late 20^th century there was a shift in the aesthetic aspirations of architecture to serve community needs. Services and lifestyles or activity centres promoted as the heart of new community life in developer built, suburban estates have, in many cases, replaced earlier kinds of small public institutional types.
