0910 Parametric Modeling Applied

Here is an example of applied parametric modeling we have developed for the project in East Africa. The intent is to create spatial solution which would be able to grow and adapt according to the changing need; or according to varied conditions at different locations. Notionally, if more and more modules were to be added, such configuration could grow infinitely but always confined the circular matrix, defined by three differently sized courtyards.

0910M4_[WS]_Parametric Workshop

Selected projects are the end result of the exercise started with the Rhino tutorial earlier this semester. From then on we have gradually developed formal strategies around primal architectural reasoning. Parametric modeling tools were exploited for the development of structural, organizational and geometric logic.

Selektovani projekti su proizvod radionice koja je krenula od obuke u Rhinu na pocetku semestra. Od tada smo postepeno razvijali formalne strategije prema osnovnim arhitektonskim rezonima. Parametarsko modelovanje je upotrebljeno kao alat za razvoj strukturalne, organizacione ili geometrijske logike.

0910 DR The Water Pavillion

[e]The Water pavilion is an open air public space, located exactly above the water surface. Steel structure is rooted in the river bed, and connected with the existing river bank by the pedestrian bridges. Cascading floor layout is planed for easy access to different size boats and varied water-levels. During the summer period, pavilion functions as a public beach, where cascading surface enables direct contact with the water. The Water Pavilion is conceived as an initial intervention within the future transformation of the Port of Belgrade. With minimal changes of the existing surroundings, and contrasting the industrial ambiance, pavilion is conceived as a new land-mark. Different activities will unfold in the pavilion to attract the visitors and simultaneously promote the whole district.

[s] Paviljon na vodi je projekat otvorenog nadkrivenog javnog prostora. Visenamenski prostor cini fleksibilna celicna struktura oslonjena na recno dno, povezana pesackim pasarelama sa postojecim nasipima. Kaskadirajucim povrsinama u parteru, odgovara se na problem direktnog pristupa recnim plovilima razlicite velicine, tokom razlicitih vodostaja. U toku letnjeg perioda, paviljon bi funkcionisao kao urbana plaza, gde kaskade omogucuju neposredan kontakt sa vodenom povsinom. Paviljon je koncipiran kao prva intervencija u predstojecoj transformaciji podrucja Luke Beograd. Minimalnim promenama postojeceg okruzenja, kontrasno se odvajajuci od industriskog ambijenta, paviljon je zamisljen kao novi prostorni reper. Razlicitim aktivnostima koje bi se odvijale na njemu podstakao bi se protok ljudi i samim tim promocija celog podrucja.

0809 AH Mutable Chandelier

Mutable chandelier is an item made of recycled paper tube material used widely. It is concieved as an adaptive object with the potential to change according to user requirements and needs (allowing for interaction between the user and the product). As a different configuration, it can be used as ceiling that can create walls, plant holders, sitting chairs, bottle shelf etc. Also it can be easily disassemble and combine in some other product of use. This is method, not a product, of bringing a life to home and making an iconic object for the mutable home use.

0910 Studio Agenda

Far from Home...
Graduate Programme, modul M4 Studio, 22 credits Instructors: Djordje Stojanović, Milutin Cerović

It is not uncommon for architects to work far from home, whereby the ability to develop quick understanding of the alien environment will determine the rate of project’s success. This year Studio will look into the context of Rijeka, a coastal town belonging to the neighboring State of Croatia. We will be working at the peripheral site with the pronounced topography and intimate relationship with the surrounding nature. Presence of the large green zone and unspoiled views of the Adriatic Seа are two main assets to be considered in preparation of the design strategies. In addition, this site has unresolved relation to urban infrastructure and the ambition to develop its own identity. In reference only, current development strategy of the city envisages ‘transformation of the area into the mixed use zone with predominantly housing character’ with approximately 250 new residential units on site. Studio remains committed to generative design principles and will continue relentless investigation into the materiality and form. This year we will make one step further in developing the idea of architectural impermanency and versatile spatial organizations. Notions of the ‘sustainable’ and the ‘ecologic’ in design will be expanded form purely environmental considerations into the very organizational logic of space. Eclectic in their nature, our working methods are both analogue and digital; and will equip students with hands on knowledge and techniques of contemporary architectural practice.

Daleko od Kuće prim prev.
Neretko se događa da arhitekti rade na projektima u nepoznatom okruženju, gde njihova sposobnost da razviju brzo razumevanje date sredine ima presudan uticaj na ishod projekta. Ove godine Studio će se baviti kontekstom primorskog grada Rijeke, u susednoj državi Hrvatskoj. Odabrana lokacija je na periferiji grada, ima vrlo izraženu topografiju i nalazi se u neposrednom kontaktu sa priordnim okruženjem. Prisustvo značajne zelene površine i mogućnost neometanog pogleda na morski horizont su dve posebnosti lokacije na kojima je moguće sagraditi strategiju projekta. Takođe, u obzir treba uzeti da lokacija ima kompleksnu poziciju u postojećoj gradskoj infrastrukturi i ambiciju da uspostavi sopstveni identitet. Prema postojećem Generalnom Urbanističkom Planu predviđena je transformacija ove oblasti u višenamensku zonu sa dominantnim rezidencijalnim karakterom. Planirana je izgradnja oko 250 stambenih jedinica na samoj lokaciji. Studio ostaje privržen razvijanju generativne logike dizajna i nastavlja sa neograničenim istraživanjem fenomena materijalnosti i forme. Ove godine, napravićemo korak dalje u razumevanju arhitekture kroz ideju o adaptibilnoj prostornoj organizaciji, i to uvođenjem koncepta ‘održivosti’ ali ne isključivo u ekološkom smislu već u svom dubljem organizacionom značenju. Metod rada u Studiju je eklektički u svoj prirodi, podjednako se oslanja na digitalne i analogne operacije sa idejom da opremi studente sa konkretnim znanjem i tehnikama za rad u savremenoj arhitektonskoj praksi.
