The method of the workshop is first in the study of various references in order to develop a formal language clean. In this case, the Mobius strip is the subject of work, especially for its properties: one cycle of a single continuous surface, provided with a single board. Thus, starting from the abstract stage, one can extract space by folding the strip in order to humanize it by the introduction of walls, floors and a roof. The conceptual schema is then defined by the intersection of two or more of these bands manipulated. In addition, the site is also analyzed. It is located in the heart of London and more particularly in the small London City Borough, one of the city finance the most dynamic and important planet.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PROCESS
ANALYTICAL CHARTS
A central location also identified several issues regarding the mobility and location of activities in the city. Indeed, London City Borough is by far the city's most dense amount of workers in the United Kingdom, but has however a small resident population. Therefore, the suggestion is to attract those workers living on the outskirts to come and live there. The program is now incorporating a diversity of activities in three bands Mobius WOVEN into each other and applying a concept of life cycle. Thus, three surfaces bind and generate the entire living space - offices, cafes, homes, parks, etc. - by providing ground-level spaces to public and private spaces vertically.
If the computer is a key point in the development of the project, the work is basically done by 3D parametric program Rhinoceros. So everything is done on the computer directly through the virtual model. Thus, even the production models is no exception to the rule. Indeed, the support and the 1:250 scale model and that of the 1:1000 site, consist of an assemblage of pieces 2D cardboard, cut to the Zund machine. The model of the project is about 1:1000 to him after 3D printing directly from the computer model.
