IGLOO-LIKE SPACE
The original plan
that was suggested in the proposal was related more towards parametrics,
however, there is a slight change of plan in terms of the function inside the
Exhibition Space. I strongly wanted to experiment with Galapagos Evolutionary
Solver which suggest more towards the term Evolving Architecture and thus based
on that idea I came up with design and the function I want to apply, which is
by controlling the openings in the Exhibition Space.
TEXT IN THE POSTER
THE
CONCEPT
Involving Evolutionary Algorithms into
Architecture is becoming more popular among designers. “Igloo-like Space” is
designed using the Galapagos Evolutionary Solver in Grasshopper and the main
purpose is to be able to control the entrances in the Exhibition Space. The
application used was to detect the number of visitors in the building, and the
solver will then adjust the opening of the entrances in the Exhibition Space
according to the number of people in the building. “The larger the amount of
people in the space, the bigger the opening of the entrance space“. With the
application, the openings of the entrance spaces are constantly changing and
thus create Evolving Architecture.
GEOMETRY
AND STRUCTURE
The geometry and the structure of the
Exhibition Space are designed with the idea of having a view. The site is
located in Sydney’s Circular Quay, overlooking Sydney Harbour. Because the site
is so close to water, the geometry of the building should relate to water and
also enhance the Sydney Harbour foreshore and by creating an Igloo-like
Exhibition Space, it gives people a close sense of water and the thought of the
Exhibition Space itself formed by water.
The structure of the Exhibition Space is
mainly supported by external diagrid steel framed outside the building, the
benefit for using external diagrid steels is it will have more space in the
Exhibition Space as no perimeter columns are needed. Also, with glass panels,
it provides a beautiful view from the Exhibition Space.
THE
EXHIBITION SPACE
The Exhibition Space consists of six
floors. It is designed for tourists as well as the local people to visit.
Functions and exhibition displays can be held here as it provides one of the
best view and top attraction spots in Sydney. There will be cafes on the ground
floor and exhibition spaces on each floor as well as small and big halls to
accommodate big events and smaller events. It will be a nice space just for
people to gather around and find leisure in it.

FINAL GALAPAGOS TEST FOR MAXIMUM SOLUTION
After running the Galapagos Solver for a few times, this solution is the most idealistic solution that not only being able to find solution for the openings of the entrance that allow people to enter but looks the best among all other design that gives the 'Igloo-like Space' a nicer appearance.

CONCEPT AND IDEA
To create openings of entrance space according to the number of people in the room, thus, with the help of Galapagos Evolutionary Solver, the best outcome will be produced and also, this will eventually become the design of the Exhibition Space.
The images above show the design of the Exhibition Space without running Galapagos for maximum solution of the opening inside the exhibition space. The geometry of the building is influenced by the site, which is in Sydney's Circular Quay, overlooking the Sydney Harbour and the surroundings, which consists of water. Therefore, producing a form which is related to water, "Igloo-like Space", where igloo is form by large blocks of ice and ice is water frozen and turning into solid state.
