There is a great video coming from Andrew Payne over @ liftarchitects that begins to explain Theo Jansen’s kinetic sculptures. He goes into a much deeper description on his site and has the file available for download. >enjoy

Information from the Rhino model of a radiolarian’s cell and skeleton was projected and stretched to produce geometry for a template whose elements were folded (looped, creating an aperture), stretched (grown), and threaded through each other to begin to create a dynamic landscape with the potential to adapt to program requirements. read more

The filtered light demonstrates the porous zones possible for allowing water to flow in and be collected and channeled down through the interstitial compartmentalized chambers and recirculated into use. The dry chambers become programmatic for MEP space. read more

After laying out the ground program, each individual roof component was widened or heightened in response to the program underneath. Each piece nests into one another identically and the chance for water collection and recirculation throughout the exterior/interior chambers acts the same from piece to piece while expanding and stretching the volume of flow respectively. The Diving Pool initiates a heightened structural membrane, while the Olympic Pool initiates a widened structure. read more

The Growth of the Radiolaria occurs radially, extending about a common central axis.

As the roof structure begins to develop, radial growth is used to inform its modularity, thereby further promoting its structural integrity. read more

We’ve begun to discuss adding flesh to the models and structural schemes that we have developed in studio. These are some study models that I hoped would start uncovering the maneuvers and vocabulary associated with this particular agenda. In short, I’m trying to add some meat to the relatively flat bones that have developed up to this point. read more

The ideas that were taken from the analysis of our natural shell the Bivalve led to a rendered model study, through that model I projected the section, radial lines and geometric surfaces a paper template was created. By folding and manipulating that paper template the concepts of a Self-Intersecting Point, Radial Growth and Temporal Layering were achieved. read more
