Composite Environment: Digital Housing
This idea investigates the use of parametric design for form-finding and fabrication techniques that are specific to an environment and location. From various parametric methodologies including stacking, aggregation, bundling technique is chosen. Bundling implies: a series of uniform elements such as string or sticks that are deformed to create intersecting nodes. As a result, the geometry and typology changes in different intensities of convergence and divergence. The entire process is governed by a predetermined set of parameters and with the application of algoritms and functions, interesting forms and spaces are generated.
Cluster typology
A series of possible variations
Parameters determining the orientation and typology include solar, physical topography and privacy
Materiality includes elements of low embodied energy
Constructional skeleton
Reduced construction time as materials are prefabricated off-site
Linear typology
Variations of 4 bedroom unit - depicting skeleton and infill skin
Typical 3 bedroom unit
Typical 4 bedroom unit
Logic which governs the typology of the petals
Scatter typology - farmland
