Description

The final presentation panel for the Hangzhou exhibition of our studio. It explains the whole process from idea generation to the final realization.

The project first start with Poli House in Chile, from the case study of it, the operation of "openings on plane" was derived, which you can see from the lots of openings in random position.
At the same time, I starts to learn using GDL script in ArchiCAD to write csript to generate and set parameters for the design.

The residence composes of the two service cores on the sides, the residence, the lobby and the roofpiece (5). And they are formed from 5 layers (5/1).
Residence can be either duplex or single floor (5/2) with parameters controlling the distribution of them.

Of course, does it made easier building/construction, not exactly, but as an academic research, it is quite interesting for another type of residence.

this is a really great project. i love your diagramming of the process. just wondering if by having so many layers/planes are you making the interior spaces very dark.
