The Omega Tower is a depiction of how the integration of digital computation fabrication and physical design models interlock to design a flowing natural essence design. As set out the modelling proposal states: Parametricism is constantly evolving and coalescing natural influences thus generate a greater need for architects to embellish this concept and adapt it into society. Consequently, does the act of Parametrics design have the ability to fuse natural surroundings into man-made parametric design?
The concepts that are being applied are the amalgamation of justifying the significance of the natural surroundings with the elaborate neighbouring buildings at the Toaster Site. The core message is to outline the principles that illustrate Omega Tower to infuse its natural surroundings and to then have the design manipulated around that concept. The Omega Tower has designed on the basis on studying the surrounding area and to form a natural structural shape around it.
In relation to the theme it can be interpreted to create a relationship between the toaster site and to what the design set out to become. The theme came from natural surroundings and having a site so close to water then the use of having a design that chimes in with the terrain is what was intended. The use of having the site messing into the tower with its curve shape highlighted the buildings significance to the landscape and showed its characteristics of fusing itself with the natural surroundings. The theme also represented the vine design spiralling up the buildings. The building is intended to be growing from the landscape that’s why the decision to have a vertical tower as approved as it was design to manipulate the form to have the wider base messing into the landscape then narrowing up ways then expanding again just like the core natural factors of a tree.
The idea proposal was to generate an engaging design to annotate and resemble a natural growth of a man made parametric structure. The thought process that was conducted for this model is very concise and required the constricted understanding of the landscape to justify main design annotations to help decipher the corrective parametric analysis. The idea was forming a structure through nature elements to aid in interpreting the design to be born from the landscape. In relation to the interior of the building the use of the spiral design was to also reinstate the appearance of the sunlight shadowing into the building and to help with internal diffuse light into the structure. The layer of spiral form is backed up with a layer of glass with that a consistent flow through the building. This is for obvious reason to restrict water coming into the building and will allow the residence to have a direct sunlight around their units.
In annotating the design and to evaluate its representation it can be illustrated that the design has been equipped with the elements such as natural surroundings and neighbouring buildings and has granted itself with the thought process of being born from the landscape.
