PROGRESS THUS FAR...

Here is some udated versions of my structure...I broke up the vertical system into two parts, designated to different parts of the program and was thinking about articulating areas in betwen that could connect (i.e. for specific performance, etc.) Still trying to define/work out circulation as well as formulate a system that defines the movement of the curtain wall scaffold system. Will continue to explore and update as I go!

This is a section of the building, just to show where I'm going with it. It feels much more elegant and better than Monday's work.

POP-UP GROUPS

USING FACEBOOK GROUPS AS THE GENERATOR, THE CONVENTION CENTER IS RE IMAGINED AS A COLLECTION OF PROGRAMS THAT HAVE A HIERARCHY OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THEM. INITIAL FACEBOOK GROUPS ARE MANIFESTED IN PHYSICAL SPACE AND THE FOLLOWERS OF THESE GROUPS ARE NOTIFIED THAT THEIR SPACE IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW. HERE LIKE-MINDED INDIVIDUALS CAN COME TOGETHER IN REAL SPACE TO INTERACT. FROM THERE A RECOMMENDATION ENGINE IS USED TO CIRCULATE PEOPLE THROUGH THE TOWER TO *TRADE SHOWS* BASED ON COMMON INTEREST OR TO CONNECTING PROGRAMS (LIKE A BOOKSTORE) THAT ALLOW FOR MORE THAN ONE GROUP TO BE REFERENCED AND CONNECTED.
THE GROUPS ONLY HAVE A PHYSICAL LIFE SPAN OF 3 MONTHS, REQUIRING THE BUILDING TO CONSTANTLY RECONFIGURE ITSELF THROUGH THE ATTACHMENT AND DISCONNECTION OF THE GROUP MODULE. MODULES CAN BE CONNECTED TOGETHER TO FORM LARGER SPACES AS REQUIRED. A FLEXIBLE MEMBRANE IS *SHRINK WRAPPED* TO THE VOLUME OF THE TOWER, KEEPING EVERYTHING TOGETHER WHILE ALLOWING FOR THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE SYSTEM TO HAPPEN.

Aggregation Development

Using the basic component, the following displays the experimented aggregation scripts to create a useful aggregated unit. The last one is used to define the overall exterior skin of the structure. It will also searve to as a sun shader and to promote solar power, displayed by colored layors. This is under development to coorespond to the performance space program.

Diagrams and tests aggregation according to program and structure

Just a few tests thinking about the relationship between, and organization of program and structure...
