ADVANCED DESIGN 1 BRIEF The Christchurch earthquakes are the most catastrophic natural disaster in New Zealands history when measured by the number of buildings destroyed, the financial impact and the number of lives affected. Every newspaper and news channel remind us of the loss, while covering the political and financial upset the earthquakes have caused they have overshadowed the present opportunity. Unlike so many other places in the world (Haiti (2010), Australia (2009), USA (2005), Indonesia & India (2004)) that have suffered natural disasters, Christchurch is fortunate in that there is a national insurance policy with substantial funds to support in the recovery. However, payouts have been delayed due to the on going earthquakes and the financial untangling between the private vs. public insurance policies. This opens a valuable window of time, which is now, and creates an opportunity for designers and planners to think, debate and design for the future of Christchurch. This is a critical year for designers to engage in the public debate and raise the consciousness around the value of good design as well as define what it means. If this does not happen now, there is the very real risk that the lowest common denominator of design will be built out of urgency and lack of viable ideas. In this course we will seize this time and take advantage of it to engage the public and fuel the debate about quality design. The question of what qualifies as appropriate design for Christchurch will be raised, and the students projects should answer this question through their proposals. By doing so the students have the opportunity to participate in shaping the future of Christchurch by providing creative ideas when they are needed most, which is right now. To engage the public the work for the course will be published in books, articles and exhibitions as well as presented through our course blog. study. Each student will develop a series of option studies to understand formal properties and explore design potential. The use of the digital fabrication facilities will be required for this component of the course. From the research and material investigations each student will choose a site and define a building program, which should in some way relate to their other team members work, and again it is up to the team to define the relationships between the projects. Each students design concept should be grounded in both the research and material investigation, and the final building design will need to clearly demonstrate how the design concept is carried through to become a resolved building. A comprehensive Design Report is required for completion of AD1; this document will summarize the research and material investigation as well as outline the design of the buildings spatial planning, massing, materials, structure, details, and environmental performance. The studio work will culminate in a coordinated exhibition of the final designs to be presented in Christchurch. Camia Young
WHAT IS QUALITY DESIGN? When looking at the history of architecture in Christchurch there are three primary factors that stand out as influential: the latest styles imported from abroad, available construction technologies, and accessibility of materials. Prior to the Otago Gold Rush in 1860, colonial Christchurch was built out of timber forested from Riccarton Bush and the nearby Port Hills, where false fronts were typical, mimicking Italianate facades. The Gold Rush fueled an economic boom, which brought trains and access to nearby quarries. This gave rise to stone construction, which at the time favoured the Gothic Style, also borrowed from Europe. Following WWII Modernism took the stage, and Christchurch saw a boom in reinforced concrete construction at the same time its manufacturing businesses were flourishing. It was also during this period that the economic investment shifted from building religious institutions to more commercial and civic buildings. As Christchurch faces the task of rebuilding, these same three factors will influence the citys architecture, but because we live in a different age, the global trends, technologies and access to materials have changed. The era we live in today is defined by innovation, where the use of materials is constantly being tested and explored for unique design potential. Aided by the use of computer technologies, designers can add further complexity and variation to push materials to new boundaries, which prior to the use of computers was often seen as too costly, but is now economically feasible. While today the access to most any material can be had at a cost, choosing local materials is both environmentally and financially more responsible by reducing transportation costs and supporting local economies. Because materials are at the core of innovation, the students will start their research by choosing a locally available resource. They will become familiar with its properties as well as develop a rigorous formal investigation using their chosen resource as the basis. Following on the students will develop an architectural response derived from their research and explored through the use of computer aided design techniques.
METHODS FOR DESIGN The course will have two components, research and design. The purpose of the research component is to develop a rational and intelligent approach to design, whereby design solutions are grounded in purpose and reason. During the first part of the course the students will develop two complimenting bodies of research: an in-depth analysis of a resource specific to Christchurch, and a related material investigation. Then, drawing on their research, the students will develop a building design by establishing a program, choosing an appropriate site, and developing a design concept. At the start of the term, each team will select a topic to research, the only requirement is that it is a resource readily available in New Zealand and ideally easily accessible to Christchurch; example topics could be: stone, concrete, wood, clay (brick & ceramic), metal, textiles, etc. The team will develop an in-depth research into their topic, summarizing its properties, availability, performance, and cataloguing its uses. The aim is to be critical of the found information, and go beyond presenting facts and figures to discover potentials. Each student will be responsible for an identifiable component of the research, but the team will present their information together and support one anothers work. Following the research phase, each team will develop a material investigation using the same resource, and again each student will define a discrete aspect to study. Each student will develop a series of option studies to understand formal properties and explore design potential. The use of the digital fabrication facilities will be required for this component of the course. From the research and material investigations each student will choose a site and define a building program, which should in some way relate to their other team members work, and again it is up to the team to define the relationships between the projects. Each students design concept should be grounded in both the research and material investigation, and the final building design will need to clearly demonstrate how the design concept is carried through to become a resolved building. A comprehensive Design Report is required for completion of AD1; this document will summarize the research and material investigation as well as outline the design of the buildings spatial planning, massing, materials, structure, details, and environmental performance. The studio work will culminate in a coordinated exhibition of the final designs to be presented in Christchurch. Camia Young
INTRODUCTION / PROJECT DESCRIPTION How does a customer experience not only a companys product, but also the company itself? How do we begin to formulate an architectural solution for the identity of a company? With this is mind, how do we design an experience? The proposal is a hybrid building consisting of a ski lodge, office spaces, a wool production line, and a shearing shed which together make a R&D station for ICEBREAKER. The building is located at Pudding Hill in the Canterbury Plains at the bottom of Mount Hutt. The driving concept for the building is based on a weave - one of the operations used in creating a textile. Put simply, a weave brings two things together in a way that allows them to be seen as one, this is done with a warp going in one direction and a weft going in the other, together they create a weave. The design of the architecture comes through the inherent nature of banding which is present in a woven fabric. There are four building types, each one is conceived as an individual warp that is woven together spatially through visual thresholds and spatial orchestration. The relationships of each typology is arranged according to controlled linkages in programs. The shearing shed is placed next to wool production line for the flow of material production, the offices next to the wool production line for R&D to take place, and the ski lodge above the offices for people who wear woolly clothing to Mount Hutt Ski Field to get a glimpse of how their clothing is made. Not only does this arrangement allow us to break the barrier between research and development and material production but also allows customers and clients to experience the company. Using architecture as a facilitator for bridging barriers between programmatic stratifications we can strengthen relationships between tactile conditional elements of ICE BREAKER, ranging from the farmers, the wool production workers, the office workers, and the customers / clients.
Chapter 1: Research
1.0_DEFINE_[TEXTILES]
what is it?
textile - any filament, fibre, or yarn that can be made into fabric or cloth, and the resulting material itself. The term is derived from the Latin textilis and the French texere, meaning to weave, and it originally referred only to woven fabrics. It has, however, come to include fabrics produced by other methods. Thus, threads, cords, ropes, braids, lace, embroidery, nets, and fabrics made by weaving, knitting, bonding, felting, or tufting are textiles. Some definitions of the term textile would also include those products obtained by the papermaking principle that have many of the properties associated with conventional fabrics.

GLOBAL TRADE
Textiles as a commodity in a global market. The European Union clearly dominates with the market with a market value of 80.2 billion US dollars, not far off is China sitting at 65.2 Billion. There is a clear gap distinguishing gap between Europe and China and the rest of the world. Although it is hard to compete with the mega producers of textiles like the European Union and China, New Zealand is starting to tap into the global market and Ice breaker is clearly demonstrating this.

weaving
knitting

crocheting
felting
two yarns interlaced at right angles to produce or fabric or cloth longitudinal threads are called the warp and lateral threads are called the weft the method of how the warp and weft are woven together affects the characteristic of the fabric produced a loom is used to hold the warp threads in place while the weft threads are weaved through there are three different types of weave - plain weave - satin weave - twill
knitted fabric is created by consecutive rows of loops. Each stich is held on a needle until another loop is passed through it knitting has much more elasticity than woven fabrics due to the meandering loops knitting wales variations courses and weft and warp knit and pearl
fastening material together by tying or interweaving, often with rope other materials used include - sting - twine - strap - chain knots weaken the material that they are created in at the place where the bend occurs a knot works by creating tension on itself in the direction of the load that is exerted on the rope
similar to knitting, the process involves rows of loops however the material is pulled and twisted by a hook only one stitch is active active a time and it is pulled through the next and can then be repeated until a chain is formed most common materials include yarn or string unlike knitting each loop is only linked to the loops on either side of it so if one link was to break, the structure would stay intact and not unravel
non-woven cloth that is created by matting, condensing and pressing woollen fibres different strengths and toughnesss can be created for different functions such as clothing or construction differernt processes of manufacturing felt create different products - wet felting - needle felting - carroting wet felting is where wool fibres are put through a process of constant friction whilst being lubricated by moisture thus building up a cloth needle felting is an arts craft where multiple needles

Generative_Binary_Data_Extraction
A binary code is a way of representing text or computer processor instructions by the use of the binary number system's two-binary digits 0 and 1. This is accomplished by assigning a bit string to each particular symbol or instruction. For example, a binary string of eight binary digits (bits) can represent any of 256 possible values and can therefore correspond to a variety of different symbols, letters or instructions.

Loom_Model_001 Warp - steel Weft - elastic bands Loom - timber Varied warp spacing Gradual increase in weft spacing
Experimental models changing different tactile parameters, material uses, variation in the spacing of the warp in the Z axis, shifts in the spacing of the weft strands.
Loom_Model_002 Warp - timber dowel Weft - elastic bands Loom - timber Alternating warp placement on additional plane Consistent weft spacing
Warp relationship to weft; weft distance adjusts relative to warp spacing. Alternating warp placement onto an additional plane; relationship to vertical space created in the weave. The further apart the warp is placed on the other plane a deeper space is created relative to the weft & warp

2 Feed the sheep into the pens 3 Feed the sheep one by one onto the shearing tables ready for shearing 4 Shearers shear the sheep and retrieve the fleece 5 The sheep are let down from the shearing table and re-penned for inspection and being released from the shearing area 6 The fleece is then taken set aside ready for skirting & rolling
14
7 Here farmers / labourers ensure the sheep are in healthy condition before being let into the shelter and released back onto the farm 8 The fleece is transported to the skirting and rolling room 9 The fleece is stocked here before being processed 10 Workers process the fleece by skirting and rolling it 11 After the fleece has being skirted and rolled, it is then put into bins in prepearation for the people who will class the wool according to specific grades 12 These are the bins that will go over into the classing room to get processed
13 These are bins that will get processed by the workers 14 These group of workers take the classed wool and turn it into bales of wool 15 Once they are classed, someone organises them according to grade and prepares them for transporting to storage room 16 In the storage room the grades of wool define the bays 17 Green bales are an example of High Grade Stock 18 Orange bales are an example of Medium Grade Stock 19 Red bales are an example of Low Grade Stock 20 Here stock is picke for orders to Christchurch also around the rest of New Zealand

Revised plans for the concept of the ski lodge. Bringing in the ideas of weaving and banding. Transgression from a dirty space to a clean one. I.e. coming from the ski field and wanting to be in a space that is highly tranquil and takes into the consideration the experience with the alps and the Canterbury plains.

Ecology
Recap on the notion of designing architecture as part of a wider ecological system addressing particular set of defined constraints. 1. Wool harvesting 2. Wool freight logistics [both local and international] moving the material from pudding hill, to Chrsitchurchs industrial park, to the port of Lyttleton. Opens up a discussion for how we start addressing the location of important architecture that is beneficial to society; in this project particularly looking at merino wool and how that would move around the geography in New Zealand and outside in the global market.

Ski Lodgers get the afternoon sun. A cantilever provides shading for the office glazing
Workers in the wool production and shearing shed get the diffused lighting conditions.
Directly North Facing towards the Ski Field and the Southern alps. Ski Lodgers get the afternoon sun, the Wool Production workers and shearers get the diffused lighting coming from in from the south.
55
Building Planning
Address issues such as variation in the planning of the Research and Development and Ski Lodge buildings. 1. Offices In the offices variation is created by allowing for the addition of different types of work spaces such as a small, medium and large meeting rooms. Added was a staff room that doubles as a cafe where clients can converse with the research guys and feel more apart of the organisation [bridging the relations between different social strata [company and customer / client relationship]. The office spaces allows for 1-2 work groups and 3-4 work groups with different spatial arrangements for the two user defined groups. 2. Ski Lodge Variation needs to occur to address different user groups such as individuals, couples, families, larger groups of people who ski and snow board on Mount Hutt. 2 different types were created 1. A 1-2 person quarters 2. A 3-4 person quarters. Within each type 2 different arrangements of furniture is used to create variation with the two types such as deploying different beds and smaller or larger tables and also additional showers.

Cross Sections
Cross sections showing how ideas of a weave get translated into a real building. The Ski lodge guys are separated yet still link in with the wool production line through visual threshold. The guys in the research and development have a direct circulation path crossing into the material production line. Through visual threshold the guys in the shearing shed are connected and linked in with the rest of the architectural frame work. Recap on ideas about intentions about complex hybrid typologies. How do you create a new type of architecture that brings together different uses within one architectural framework? Going back on the concept of the weave, the warp is held in tension and the weft weaves up and over and down and under. The buildings individual typologies are conceived as the warp held in tension; the weft is the tactile conditions operating within the warp that allow for us to weave the different buildings together through people.

Architectonics allow us to articulate the ideas of the weave in the real world which become more about making things such as the new hybrid typology link in with a wider idea about the weave as a fabric or textile. 1. The Structural System 2. The roof form in the longitudinal section 3. Facade articulation 3. Floor material choices 4. Wall material choices

Longitudinal Sections
Primarily the point of interest in the longitudinal sections is the tertiary structure having a dual function. Not only is it tying the primary structural system together, but also is being used to articulate the facade of the offices in section DD and the interior hallway of the Ski Lodge in section CC.

Taking cues from the weave in an attempt to weave the light coming through the north facade. Gradient shifts in the articulation of the horizontally in the facade was a key goal to try and weave the light coming through the north face of the building. The balustrade and the timber screens where of particular points of interest when designing. Working in modular balcony units I conceived the entire north face as an animated facade with different density gradient shifts of the horizontal compositional elements.

The basic of the concept for the structure is that is woven. We have two primary structural systems with a tertiary structure strategically deployed for a dual purpose of being a visually permeable wall. The primaries work in unison (one in the warp direction and one in the weft direction) being tied together with tension rods in the Lower part of the north facade and the height of the south facade.

The use of a rocker joint in the weft structure allows us to articulate the structure as something that is literally woven. The weft structure goes up and over and down and under the primary warp.
