SET UP

...the static folly first based on given parameters. Work on SPACE, FORM & ORDER first...

INTEGRATE

...with the KINETIC elements by working the most practical solutions to comply with final KINETIC FOLLY design

DESIGN PARAMETERS

> design a vertical KINETIC FOLLY within a setting of 20m x 15m flat site adjacent to a full height wall (20m x 20m);

> the KINETIC FOLLY shall be design as a 15 meter height structure on a 5m x 5m square base within a 960 cubic meter (8m x 8m x 15m height) volumetric limit;

> the KINETIC FOLLY must have a form, space and order in design;

> the main structure of the KINETIC FOLLY must be constructed in a modular and prefabricated solution;

> material for the KINETIC FOLLY shall become a showcase representation of the appreciation of construction materials;

> all kinetic mechanism shall be confined within the structure of the folly.

THE CHALLENGE IS TO TRANSLATE THE ALGORITHM OF DESIGN REQUIREMENTS INTO A VISUAL COMMUNICATION...

THE FOLLOWINGS EXAMPLE SERVES AS GUIDELINES ONLY.
You may have your own ideas to design the folly...

Use SketchUp

to visualize actual scale as required by the design brief. DOWNLOAD relevant sketchup file by IDRIS.my if necessary.

Set Up the Site

"..design a vertical KINETIC FOLLY within a setting of 20m x 15m flat site adjacent to a full height wall (20m x 20m).."

Determine the Base

"...5m x 5m square base.." can be located anywhere within the 20m x 15m site. It can be at the centre..

Base can be adjacent to wall

Base can be rotated

Say, we prefer base at the centre

Set Up centre point of structure

... assuming that the point of the 15 structure at the centre of the base...

Set Up Basic 15m Structure

..since the requirement ask for PREFABRICATED, it would make sense that the 15m structure may be divided in a volume of space with 3m height...

Set Volumetric Limit

...variation of structure is stipulated as "within a 960 cubic meter (8m x 8m x 15m height) volumetric limit"...

Central Volumentric Limit

Rotated Volumentric Limit

Working with possible variation 1

Working with possible variation 2

Working with possible variation 3

Checking work limit within volumetric

Review Basic Structure

... and look at massing, sense of scale, visual volume of space, etc

Visualizing space with HUMAN FIGURE

.. and make possible relation to the wall. Wall could be a digital billboard / back of building block / verticle garden / water feature / etc.

Make Connection!

...to the wall. The connection is allowable beyond the volumetric limit. The term FOLLY means designer may play with appropriate design solution.

That's basically STATIC FOLLY structure can be designed;
Assuiming that the above basic condiguration is good enough;
The next steps is to incorporate KINETIC ELEMENT, of which can be...

...a DINAMIC ARCHITECTURE STRUCTURE as shown in the following video...

..or a KINETIC ARCHITECTURE elements on the building envelope / facade...

...or by incorporating mechanic / mechatronic / movement elementary design that may include but not limited to the use of...

lift / escalator / people movement / vertical mechanic / manufacturing assebly line (verticle) / wind kinetic / 3D mechanic / 2D mechanic / complex mechanic as may be illustrated in the following video...

CAUTION!
Keep in mind that the KINETIC FOLLY is an architectural design. The main focus shall be SPACE, FORM & ORDER while the mechanic may only become a supplementary to project.

KEEP THE MECHANIC OF THE KINETIC SIMPLE!
... as shown in the video below...

Once the KINETIC ELEMENT has been incorporated into the FOLLY structure, the basic requirement of KINETIC FOLLY design can be satisfied.

Proceed to next step of submission requirement...

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS >>

TUESDAY (26-11-19) PLACARD PRESENTATION

> 1 nos, of A1 PRESENTATION BOARD (portrait orientation) elaborating the kinetic folly design which may include but not limited to; bar scaled plans, sections, eleveation, exploded axonometric AND perspective drawings. The presentation board may be used as PLACARD PRESENTATION during FABE DESIGN WEEK;

FRIDAY (29-11-19) 3D MODELLING

> 3D modelling graphic / animation showing the INSTALLATION & DISMANTLING PROCEDURES and the visualization of the kinetic folly within the site setting

FRIDAY (29-11-19) BRANDING & MANUAL

> a BOOKLET / BROCHURE publication showing the INSTRUCTION MANUAL deliberating the component diagrams, installation & dismantling procedures.

Example of KINETIC FOLLY within the full setting in relation to the proposed IBIC project. The folly can be part of structure / use as vertical transportation with lift/elevator etc.

...the above setting within other IBIC block /hub is just as a SAMPLE ONLY
