COLLABORATION PROJECT WITH ANNISA RIZAL
For the Computational Design students that worked on the Chongqing project, the project brief was very open. Matthew Priestman created the following image, which outlines the concepts that we should consider in our own briefs
The two forms merge and flow into each other, representing the assimilation of Chongqing’s Wulong County with the city’s river junction. The structure’s flow exhibits the cultural significance of water, and its natural drift through space and land within the Chinese tradition.
The building façade encapsulates the prominent karst rock formations found in the historical district of Jin Daoxia and combines it with the cultural outlook of prosperity and immense profit revealed by the waterfall.
Additionally, the bridge formation resembles the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers that bound the city of Chongqing. Combined, these forms play an important role in bringing forward and fostering the spirit of Chongqing into the space of Jiu Jie.
They create a community orientated area, harvesting the wealth of water and the influx of profits from all aspects.
COLLABORATION PROJECT WITH ANNISA RIZAL
BRIEF:
For the Computational Design students that worked on the Chongqing project, the project brief was very open. Matthew Priestman created the following image, which outlines the concepts that we should consider in our own briefs
From the above Annisa and I collaborated to create the following concept. From this we created a bridge and façade system scripted entirely in Grasshopper and visualised in Lumion.
PROJECT DECRIPTION & CONCEPTS:
With inspiration derived from the topography of Chongqing, the bridge and building façade emulates the distinctive nature of China’s culture and the city’s geography.

as a continuation of the project and a requirement of the course, we will be further developing the bridge and facade system, which we will present at COFA in the first week on June.
The work completed in China and presented in the exhibition space was an interim submission.
