ARCH 655 Final Project

ARCH 655

Parametric modeling for the Sun shading design and radiation analysis.
In this study, I utilized Genetic Algorithm (GA), Lady Bug to develop the shading device and optimize my final study model. 




1, Radiation analysis
From the result, the roof of the architecture has high radiation. So a sun shading is required.



2, Sun shading device.
The sun shading device made by the polygon, and we can use the data to change the number and size.




































3, Use the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to calculate the size of the sun shading

1, Use the 6X6 grid sun shading to be a unit to calculate




2, Connect the Galapagos with the Size and Radius to change the shading shape, and connect to the area of the building surface which has the radiation less than 500 kwh/sqm

The Canton Tower - 广州塔

The Guangzhou Tower (广州电视观光塔) is one of the world′s most spectacular new buildings. It is not only the world′s tallest TV tower (600m), beating Toronto′s CN-tower (553m), but also a surprisingly beautiful structure. 

Mark Hemel, the IBA architect that together with his partner Barbara Kuit designed the Guangzhou TV tower, comments, ″Where most skyscrapers bear ′male′ features; being introvert, strong, straight, rectangular, and based on repetition, we wanted to create a ′female′ tower being complex, transparent, curvy and gracious.″ ″Our aim was to design a free-form tower with a rich and human-like identity that would represent Guangzhou as a dynamic and exciting city. We therefore wanted it to be non-symmetrical so that the building would look as if ′in movement′ and ′alive′. The result is a tower like a ′sexy female′, the very reason that earned her the nickname: ′Xiao Man Yao′.″ which means "young girl with tight waist"


1, Generating Process of the Canton Tower
   1, Define the basement ellipse, middle ellipse and the top slop ellipse first.


   2, Then merge three of them and loft it to make the body shape.


   3, Follow the top slop plan to find slop plans on every floor to make a intersection with the main body to find the circle.


   4, Offset and pipe the circle to have the slop pipes.


   5, Divide the slop circle in 24 part, use the interpolate curve to connect the point on different level and loft them to have pipe in another direction.

   6, In the same way to connect the vertical point and loft them to have the vertical pipe.

   7, Use the horizontal plan to make a intersection with the main body to have the level circle. Then use the boundary surface and extrude to have the panel of the building.

   8, Define a ellipse and extrude it to be a core of the building.

   9, At the top floor, define a polygon use the extrude to point to make a tip of the building, then find different point to extrude the small polygon plate on the tips.


2, Creating a Parametric, Physical-based Model
Using the Uforce to simulate the wind force on the building. The diagonal pipe and the central core will give building very good protection of the deformation. 
3, Analyses
For this building, I use the curvature and zebra to analysis the surface.
