[URBAN] P-Project URBAN PROPOSAL THROUGH SYSTEMATIC MORPHOLOGIES

DESIGN RESEARCH

• FORMS were invited to propose a new design solution for the famous GANGWON OLYMPIC site and arrival space, to make it suitable for a contemporary vision and improve it’s functioning potential.
  We proposed creating an curved shading canopy and mass to unify the circulation flows of people underneath with a smart lightweight structure.
  The roof would use 3d printed elements on a lightweight steel frame mixing tension and compression.
  This creates a dynamic, exciting civic space working as an extension to the events happening inside. Display zones and items attached to the roof help showcase objects from ongoing shows. It also gives visibility to passing traffic to the events taking place inside as additional event.
  
  The aim of this project is to examine and apply parametric design systems at different architectural scales. The strength of these functions comes from their ability to memories numerous variations of a single and connection design input, whilst maintaining a coherent generative progression of the output elements. The overall site was considered as a substrate in which a dynamic fluid simulator derived conditions of urban constituents in relation to particular variables like the number and density of urban districts, site boundaries and interactions with existing infra-structure systems. The same methodology was utilized in each of the district components. Districts were broken down into their respective towers which were further branched into subsystems of floors, cores, voids and skins. Each system is transformable and adaptable to integrate specific requirements such as areas, usage, function and level of privacy.
