MASH UP -3 ARTICLES
Nature grows from the idea of a seed and reaches out to it’s surroundings. “Using the environmental nature as our basis for design, a building or design must grow, as Nature grows, from the inside out.
While maintaining quality of life and responding to their unique environments and cultural context for the school design, it is important to encode design rules in a computational framework (for a multicultural school) It is up to the designer/architect to extract specific non-universal patterns as needed, by examining the ways of life and tradition in a particular setting, and then to apply them to that situation. By encoding design proposals reflects different modes of life, customs, and behaviour, where connections between culture, climate, people and place are woven together in a distinct humanistic architecture shaped by circumstance. Most architects design their buildings as a shell and force their way inside. Nature grows from the idea of a seed and reaches out to its surroundings. A examples of organic architecture buildings thus, is akin to an organism and mirrors the beauty and complexity of Nature.”
In some cases, new ideas for maximizing urban density require building new cities from the ground up, while others reclaim industrial areas and depressed suburbs or simply keep building higher and higher into the sky. These proposals – some fanciful, others currently under construction or completed – represent a diverse variety of urban growth solutions, each with it's own pros and cons.

WEEK 3
36 CUSTOM TEXTURES
LIGHT------> DARK
Light: This was used to signify the structures inplanted on the ground, for example the seating platform infront of the train. My intention was to make sure that the focus wasn't just on the waiting (seating) area of the station but the other technological/aspects of my design.
Medium: My medium texture was incorporated into the middle structure of my design, I had chosen to do this in order to neutralize the juxtaposition of light and dark textures.
Dark: I had used the dark texture for the exterior structure to highlight the main structure and frame. The texture gives the Aalto prism's an almost monolithic/stone feel.

CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMMING: SUSTAINABILITY
(SUN AND WIND PROTECTION)
SUNLIGHT/WEATHER
 |
-My light rail design may not receive optimal lighting throughout certain times of the day, however the exterior structure of the building is hollow and therefore the building's interior and bottom is illuminated by the sunlight.

Winter Insulation
"Create a dynamic between the building and it's natural surroundings." Alvaar Alto
Through analysis and research , weather protection is frequently cited as a high priority. Protection from sun, rain and wind is essential. In terms of winter my tram stop may receive small amounts of light, passive and active solar heating were not options to keep the surrounding enviormnent comfortable. Therefore the building relies on a conventional heating system (based on the insulating roof)
