Draft Model Developed From Section





Selected Architectural Plans

Using the cross section of Frank Gehry's Guggenheim I have redeveloped it in order to suit the required spaces for the school. In Gehry's design, each vertical headspace was used to serve both a functional purpose of air flow but also used to emphasize on the circulation of the building. These have now been rotated and readapted as individual rooms that still have a clear definition of the curvature and leaving the central area as an access path.

Readapted Cross Section to Floor Plan


Frank Gehry-Guggenheim

I have selected Frank Gehry as he has contributed significantly towards computational design and his work features both aesthetically and functionally efficient elements that provide a different approach to architecture.

2 Moving Elements


Inspired by Chuck Hoberman's use of engineering and having collapsible facades combining both form and function. I have implemented a design of using a folding shutter design, where each individual shutter is detachable from the entirety and controls the amount of light that is allowed in order to balance energy efficiency but also to cater to individual needs.



Continuing off this design is another similar moving element, using the basic shape of a fan and iris, it allows vertical light and ventilation as well, it tracks the suns location and depending on the position and climate, opens and closes for energy efficiency for optimisation.

Formulated Question-
How does computational design affect the way buildings are designed and why form and function are important?
