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.

hah~ The diagramming is also quite an important part of the project as the scripting is really a headache for understanding, and nothing is better than diagram to explain.
There are actually 5 primary dividing slabs, and the max depth is 2.4m, so it's quite fine. [yay, housing to Hong Kong standard: ~50sqm for one family...]

It sounds like a fairly interesting project, unforunately there is little information that can be gleamed from the boards - they are just too tiny. Is there anyway you could provide use with a brief in the general comment area that explains the project/design/concept?

Thanks again and again~ hehe~
Thanks for reminding what people might wanna know, which I almost forget. So I simply resized the full-view (at least ppl could see the diagrams) and also added some brief descriptions, enjoy!
