BLUE WHALE SHELTER

BLUE WHALE SHELTER

This shelter design is an exploratory study that harnesses the power of parametric architecture, demonstrating how digital algorithms can generate complex, yet efficient, organic forms. The structure embodies a harmonious blend of technological innovation through the use of Rhino (Rhinoceros 3D) with sensitivity to its natural surroundings.

Design & Development

Design & Development

This shelter, with its asymmetrical shape and numerous curves, taught me a great deal about parametric design. Using Rhino 3D software, I developed a design that both responded to Indonesia's tropical climate and featured a distinctive form. You can also see the timeline or routing within the Rhino software via the image below.

Concept

The detailed architectural concept focuses on a double-skin system featuring a porous pattern that resembles a net or skeletal structure. This adaptive form functions optimally as a passive shading device, naturally filtering sunlight intensity and allowing for effective cross-ventilation. This computational design is not only aesthetic but also functional in creating a cool and comfortable microclimate underneath.
