One of my struggles over the past 8 with this projects has been to take my interests in architecture and my perception of the problem specific to Clear Lake and synthesize my research and design work into a coherent project. I have talked a lot in the past 6 months about the system scale analysis and proposals that are key to the macro view of this project. Now I am sprinting to the finish to try and get this whole enormous proposal resolved at the scale of the building. As I have previously stated, I am proposing to move the research labs from the maintenance compound outside of town to a large underused parking lot that is a major feature of my storm water system proposal. An early iteration of my work was investigating a parametric (Grasshopper plugin for Rhino3D) generative model for a roof that could be configured to make elegant sine curves using straight lines and repetitive units. There was something beautiful in that early work that I wanted to bring back into this Resource Conservation Operations Centre so my last week or two has been focused on rebuilding that entire script to produce a roof and structural system. The following screen captures show the evolution of that work. Enjoy!
