Allegro`s Folio

There had always been strong interests and enthusiasm for me to Architecture. So I chose it as my major and learn it year after year. During the seven years of my “architect career”, I have done several design projects or taken part in some building projects such as villa, emergency center, complex business project and so on. One of them has been built and one of them still in progress.

In the design process, I was infatuated with public works: the combination of function and shape, grand volume arrangement and latest science & technology injection, which make public projects more attractive and fascinating and gives me more impetus of study.

This project is a StudioE project in the second year of my master study period in University of Melbourne. It is a grouop project and made by 14 students and two tutors. The pavilion supposed to be designed as a temporary structure that would sit within the courtyard for one month, however, the school wanted to keep it and already paid for it.

The pavilion would act as a creative focal point for the school community and would serve as a resting and contemplative space. In addition, it will allow students to use it as a meeting area. It is engaged with the landscape as well as the surrounding buildings.

The pavilion is to create a gathering space for socializing within the University. In order to allow different activities to take place, the pavilion should interact with the users. The design should also take into account the site context and integrate with the campus. During the design process, material tectonics and digital construction workflows should also be explored. This project is also to be realised and built, structural stability, fabrication and installation procedures.

Construction Diary08 Oct - 20 Oct 2014

12:59 PM – Received LLDS approval for fabrication of Chunks E-G

- Chunk G baked for nesting

- Checking of 3D baked file for clashes and missing components

- Baked file ready to be nested

02:00 PM – Establishing a format for CNC process

03:00 PM – 30 sheets of 18mm ply from MaxiPly arrives

06:30 PM – Toolpath process and layers required revised with David. CNC of 1st sheet of Chunk G (1.5 hrs)

09:07 PM – Received email from Will on finalised location of new bracing packer

10:40 PM – Global form and nesting file for Sheet 2 of Chunk G revised

Fabrication/ Assembly Team: FD, JH, NA, RL, SM

09:30 AM – Begin CNC process for Sheet 2 of Chunk G

The CNC process

1. Toolpath2. Lifting of material onto the machine bed, aligning material against edge (2 people)3. Etching for labels 4. Pocketing5. Cutting internal profiles (sliders, “beans”)6. Cutting external profiles7. Due to the size and nesting position of the packers, it was often that the packers were sucked into the vacuum of the CNC. Later on we learned to remove the vacuum while cutting of packers and avoid nesting packers along the edges.8. Separating cut profiles from leftover sheet9. Vacuum dust off profiles10. Breaking cut sheet into smaller pieces for disposal

09:37 AM – Acquired steel cables for bracings

10:00 AM – 03:30 PM routing and sanding process guided by Jack and Rachel



Completed Chunk: GFabrication/ Assembly Team: FD, JH, NA, RL, SM

10:45 AM – Beginning of assembly process for Chunk G.

11:45 AM – Loosened the first 7 layers because joints for the first bracing did not fit into the proper location. We later learnt not to make the fixings too tight (allowing joints to move) until bracings are fit into place.

02:15 PM – Completion of Chunk G assembly

03:00 PM – Discussion on Assembly Roster, task for Jack and Rachel for input of joint types in Global Form (to be completed by end of Monday, 13 Oct 2014)

05:39 PM – Fabrication Roster for Week 11 issued out via email

Completed Chunk: FFabrication/ Assembly Team: BWW, FD, JH, NA, RL, SM, WV

10:00 AM – Begin CNC process for Chunks E1- F2, 4 sheets.

11:00 AM – Ground lock gap were revised to 18.5mm as the 19mm tolerance done previously for Chunk G proved to be too loose. Instructions issued for future ground locks nesting to be amended based on revised dimensions. Sanding and Routing.

The fabrication process on Monday did not begin with a smooth start. There was a lot of miscommunication among the team regarding joint types and sizes.

05:31 PM – Completed nested Chunks A-D uploaded. Nested file for sheet D-1 checked and sent for toolpath. Total amount of CNC done for the day amounted to 5 sheets.

08:20 PM – LLDS came to check on the assembly progress

Completed Chunk: none

Fabrication/ Assembly Team: BWW, FD, JH, NA, SM, WV

10:00 AM – Cleaned up the dust extractor in the CNC Room.

10:30 AM – Begin CNC process for Chunks C1-D2, 4 sheets. CNC progress on Tues and Wed was minimal due to availability of CNC machine was limited to after FabLab hours due to pending student jobs.

12: 00 PM - Sanding and Routing

12:52 PM – Mould for casting of Banana skin rubber submitted for CNC – 24.88mm diameter

01:50 PM - Casting of banana skin for washer joint

02:05 PM – Collection of Black Rubber from Entegro

We tested to cut out the rubber using the laser machine. Due to the thickness of the 18mm thk rubber, the laser was unable to penetrate through and melted the edges of it. Even after the rubber had cooled, the melted rubber still left a residue on the finger upon contact.

07: 00 PM - Metal rods for black rubber joints were cut to length using a metal cutter.

8:24 PM – Washer size on profiles was again revised to 24.8mm based on the mould that was cut earlier in the day. Washer size on nesting file revised for CNC. Previous profiles that were done based on 22.4mm were re-cut.

Evening – Fabrication of metal bracings done off-site

Total number of bracings done: 4Original number of bracings needed: 32Total number of bracings needed: 8 (After revision with Paul)

09:00 PM – Discussion on the nesting efficiency, comparing RhinoNest, RhinoCam and manual calculations. The resulted percentage caused some concern as it was not reaching the targeted 70% due to the boning profile.

10:00 PM – During the CNC process, we discovered that there was a faulty piece of ply. The profiles that we were cutting into were not laminated and pieces (esp. packers) were starting to tear apart during the cutting process. We proceeded to cut 80% of the material before finally stopping. Out of the 80% that was cut, 45% of it was faulty.

10:30 AM – Moving of completed Chunks onto site

02:50 PM – Manual adjustments for black rubber joints orientation due to mis-alignment

09:42 PM – Final sheet for CNC completed

10:00 PM – Chunks A- M assembled on site, discussion on racking of roof profiles and suggestion to have washer joints inserted. Discussion concluded that we needed LLDS’ input prior to making the changes.

10:30 PM – Assembly team alerted of missing profiles, went to re-check nesting files and realised some profiles were missed out while re-arranging the nested roof profiles.

10:30 AM – Fixing Chunk H due to additional packers. Sanding and Routing of previous day’s CNC pieces. We noticed inconsistencies with the screw positions of the roof packers. Reminders were later given to the assembly team to always refer to the roof profiles that were done to remain consistent.

11:00 AM – Manual adjustments to black rubber joints that had already been CNC


02:28 PM – Email sent out to LLDS on broken drill bit

Total number of bracings done: 8

10:15 AM – Began CNC process for Chunks A1-C2, 3 sheets. Previous night’s revised washer size was not saved. Due to miscommunication, the profiles cut had no pockets. Pockets had to be manually added on Rhino, file re-saved for toolpath and sent to CNC for pocketing.

10:43 AM – Fabrication issues (faulty ply, laser cut black rubber, nesting efficiency) emailed to LLDS for advice

11:57 AM – We had to make another mould for the other washer profiles that were already cut. Mould for casting of Banana skin rubber submitted for CNC – 18.8mm diameter

12:00 PM - Sanding & routing, metal bracings spray painted in silver to prevent rust

01:15 PM – Metal rods edges were sanded and timber dowels cut to length using the machines in the workshop.

As the diameter of the timber dowels purchased were wider than the provided ground lock profile, the dowel holes had to be manually enlarged in order for the dowels to fit through. Using PVA glue, we glued the surfaces of the profiles together before gluing and hammering the dowels through.

To resolve the issue of the black rubber, Jack went to test cut the rubber into smaller pieces using an industrial guillotine. In conclusion, we managed to cut the rubber into smaller pieces to fit into the “bean” shape without compromising the performance.

Will fixing first metal bracing onto Chunk E using longer bolts which needed to be secured with nuts rather than T-nuts.

07:00 PM – Nested file for sheet H-1 checked, sent for toolpath and CNC.

On-site Assembly Team: JH, NA, RL, RP

Chunks assembly was not done on Sunday due to insufficient Banana Skin and washers. The washers that we were currently using were insufficient for finishing up the leftover chunks + new roof washers. We had another type of washer which was thicker than the current washers. Received LLDS approval in using thicker washers as long as usage is kept consistent within same chunk.

02:50 PM – Moved Chunks N, P, Q, R, U to site

3:30 PM - Met up with LLDS on site for issues of racking roof profiles and sliders. Meeting concluded with sliders to be retained on ends and additional washers to be introduced to roof profiles which needed to be manually done. Using a manual generative curve, we assembled the roof pieces in position, marked out the profiles that needed to be amended and unassembled each chunk profile for reparative works. Omitted sliders to be replaced with packers.

10:30 PM – Process took longer than expected, after a minor mistake done on one of the profiles, we ended the night and stacked the chunks together within the construction boundary.

On-site Assembly Team: AZ, FD, JH, NA, RL, WV

11:30 AM – Moved Chunks W, X, Y to site

Minor works were done to fix more roof washers, replacing missing bolts/ T-nuts throughout the pavilion. Outstanding items to be fixed – 5 missing roof packers need to be installed

08:15 AM – Nested file of whole pavilion emailed to LLDS for additional order of Ply

12:30 PM – Begin CNC process for Chunks H-L, 6 sheets

03:30 PM – First team meeting after beginning of Fabrication.

11:50 PM – Assembly team noticed orientation for black rubber along label “F” was wrong and needed to be rotated. Re-orientating of joints was not as easy as it sounds. The angle that was given by assembly team was to mirror along the centre point and rotate by 50O. As this needed to be done manually, to the 1st and 3rd profile, rotating 50O would not make bolt align towards the side of the “bean” shaped pocket.

02:00 AM – With assistance from Daisy and Amanda, I managed to mirror and rotate 44.98O the rubber joints on nested files for label “F” from Chunks M-V .

03:00 AM – Re-nesting roof profiles that needed re-orientation onto separate sheets so that CNC process could still proceed. Allowing the team more time to sort out the issues on this.

3.0 Idea

23

This project is an undergraduate project in the third year of my bachelor study period.

The external outline of new library is determined on the basis of the old library and the surroundings in order to keep the whole within the environment. Selecting three unequal-size squares and scraping them together geometrically. The result gives a best reflection to the old library based on squares its own sense of beauty. Together with other building`s outline, which shows up the complexity of architecture.

26

The inner space combining design of main reading space is for efficiently utilizing ground source heat pump. So that the heat can be transmitted to every part of the building.

27

This project is a postgraduate project in the second semester of my master study period. The site is the Fisherman`s Bend, along the Yarra River.

The purpose of my will reflect by the following points: Grow central Melbourne around the Yarra River；Link the city to the bay；Integrate with the rail network；Connect the inner city；Extend Melbourne`s parks to the bay；Deliver new boulevards；Create a network of local parks and green space ；Create a walkable and cycle-friendly place；Create centers for local communities；Create distinctive and diverse neighborhoods
