SCALE 4

 The Swimming Pool arena has been design to flow with harmony and nature influences from the contours of the petal component, transformed by movement and growth.  Fold lines carved into the petal, cutting dramatic interior and exterior canyons for circulation and facilities. Natural light penetrating through the translucent petals and structural elements. Smooth transitions between spaces of the interior and exterior. Custom made components of the arenas seating, circulation and shelter  have been designed for the swimming pool arena to continue the architectural language of poetic fluidity.


Manipulated the petal using meshes in Rhino to create a 'C' shape.


Crit Feed Back, Section very useful to show the interior of the the building, the rendered petal with the shading, shows alot of information

3D printed detail with support material still attached half of the detail is exposed.  




I want to create an endless pool. Olympic swimming pool for races, but I also want the spectators to engage with the fluid experience I want to make them to walk in the water if they choose to do so, it would make them appear to be floating on top of the water but the water will be a minimal depth. 



Printed a petal but the nozzle on the printer moved which altered the surface of the face.


I used fimo which is a clay that hardens when you cook it in the oven for 30 mins on fan bake. Translucency is sucessful also the raw texture give the detial a different element also the clay has bubbled.
 
printed petals on the left and right, fimo is offset back made with fimo and printed elements 
The connection allows the public to view the petals floating internally and externally
