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. 

STRUCTURE

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.
