B.1. DESIGN FIELD: BIOMIMICRY

The Organisms save energy, what

demonstrates the truly sustainability,

the only real model that has been

in the planet over long periods of

time is the ecological world.1

CRITERIA DESIGN 59

Architecture is moving towards sustainability due to the natural resource over-consumption and damage caused by human. It is time to begin to think about how to utilize our design to fit in the future and being sustainable in order to avoid the future generation not being able to survive with enough resources.

Its fortunate to see that human begins to realize the importance of the biological entities. As we are not the first one to build houses for youth and to social/work within large commnity. The ecological organisms are now been awared by human due to their long-lasting sustainble existence. In Ted Talk, Janine Benyus clarified that the truly sustainble model has been in the planet over long periods of time is the ecological world. In the past millions of years, their existence didnt effect the surrounding environments negatively.

Biomimicry is used in current design flexibly due to distinction of each biological characteristics. It refers to nature as model, and it is a new science that studies natures models and then imitates or takes inspiration from these designs and processes to solve human problems. It not only mimicks the forms of the natural appearance, bu also imitates the biological behaviour to create sustainable outcomes.

Therefore, I would like to use Biomimicry as the field of my design. I will integrate this design term with the biological characteristics to provide sustainable opportunities for Merri Creek.

DESIGN

The ICD/ITKE Pavilion 2013-2014 is a good example that shows how Biomimicry influences the design implication&opportunities and the fabrication.

This project was inspired by the shells of beetles, in order to develop a light weight panelized canopy. Beetles are winged insects that have tough outer wings like a shield. All beetles have two sets of wings - their body is covered by a hard shell (called an elytra) that protects the thin wings underneath. Therefore, the design mimicks the biological characteristic of the shells of beetles. The outer shell made by steel frame (hard shell) is strengthened by the carbon fibers (thin wings underneath) so that it results in a stable structure that can withstand the mechanical stresses.

DESIGN

The Biothing Serioussi Pavilion is a ground pavilion project located in Muedon. The design was inspired by the local sculpture habitacles. It is a structure seen as grown from self-modifying patterns of vectors based on electromagnetic Fields. 3 The project mimicks the ecological generating process and apply the idea into the deisgn. Therefore, the dynamic nature of the design reflects the parametric relationship between parts and the deep ecology of algorithmic relationships.

On the other hand, the concept of the project has the idea of indeterminacy to integrate in the structure in order to organize the spatial pattern and generative fabric. The computational method provides the advantage to the designers to achieve the complexity and the self-modifying patterns. The project is a good example of using computational design to create generative design.

PROGRESS

The initial computations (arrange the attention and repulsion) were done in plan view then lifed via microarching sections. At the meantime, the designers applyed different frequencies to create the complex and diverse pattern. The branch curve from the divided point can be extended or growed in different way based on the variable field condition. To allow for local adaption to site conditions, additional features were added to the generating script. Therefore, the microbiological structure is fromed and constructed by the complex line charge.

This project attracts me as the pavilion has a sense of separation due to the volume is defined by line charge but it is also an organic unit due to its clear structure.

SELECTED OUTCOME

B.2Selected Criteria

Im planning to design a structure (mimicking the function and form of the Marine Microorganism- Diatom) suspended instream near the waterbank of the Creek from Merri to Northcote. The brief is to create an instream structure which has the function of biomimetic filter to increase the level of turbidity of selected site so that light is able to penetrate the waters to permit photosynthesis and sustain food sources for fauna from in-stream and surrounding wetlands. Therefore, my selection criteria is the structure that has smooth and fruid form in order to not only allow the fishes to swim through underwater, but also provide the birds from wetlands to drop by.

The 4 terations that I chose all have fruid and smooth forms.

Design PotentialThe iterations might be helpful for generating the fruid form which I would attach in the Creek. Thus, the material to construct the structure must be waterproof. However, as the itertions are mostly in point/line charge, the consturcting process would probably be a problem. I might use powder printing or use flexible materials such as polyethylene or fibre.

CRITERIA DESIGN 75

This shape formed by line charge seems like the structure of the marine microorganism which is interesting. However, it is rather to be seen as pattern in stead of an organic structural unit.

The shape is quite organic and flexible. I might be able to use this kind of swirling and fluid shape to mimick the swarm intelligence and it might achieve my design proposal of building an underwater structure.

The shapes in the cluster at the central part appears like mountain. Thus the whole structure looks stablized.

The line charge component enables to define the boundary and make a clear arrangement of the elements. As the lightest curvy strips appear as the primary load bearing structures and the parts growing from the central points seem like the secondary structures, this would be helpful in constructing the physical structure.
