Swarm Theory and Transformative Processes in Design

Study model; experimenting with transparency or a lack thereof in the skin pattern and shaping the patterns to my initial program studies.

Plans; showing the specifics of the structure. The skin pattern creates a solid mullion and the 'open'/'closed' component of the skin creates a window. The dotted lined notate the overhang of the oblique walls. The structure pattern overlaid on the floor creates a glass tiling system, as shown previous here. Sections; highlighting the overlapping program, structural system and 'open'/'closed' skin system.

Additional program studies, looking at the square footage requirements as a volume and stricter public/private and age devised spaces. By taking those requirements and arranging them according to previous programmatic goals, I discovered new sectional aspects of the program.

The first look at program, considering the traditional library scheme. Divided between age groups and private/public spaces. Then diagramming the supposed circulation, based on the outward movement of the e-coli swarm. Through further study of the relationships in program, I began to develop a structural section where program is joined.
