Novi Sad Old Town Insolation Analysis

Marko Vucic Representation of wider spatial environment 28.06.2018.

The topic of this project was the analysis of the insolation of the streets where the Novi Sad Old Town was chosen for the site. What is spotted is that the storey of buildings in this part of the city is inadequate – higher than allowed by the cross-section of a street. For this reason, the goal of the work was to generate solutions that will be better for the existing street matrix parameters regarding the insolation of the streets with a slight deviation of the grossly developed built area compare flight tickets to existing condition.
City Engine software was used to generate the models needed for the analysis, while the analyzes were done in Grasshopper with Ladybug. Although the storey of objects is changed randomly, the best the solution proved to be quite logical with real results.

Penrose Origami Pavilion

Marko Vucic Digital design 27.06.2018.

Origami pavilion is an attempt to answer the arising challenges in a construction of a self-supporting structures. Majority of self-supporting structures require a massive prebuilt formwork or other ways to support its pieces in place before the whole structure is erected and well within its static equilibrium. The pavilion is designed as a foldable self-supporting structure which allows for an easy on-site, on-floor assembly. Once assembled, it can fold into a dome like structure and maintain its shape when combined with base supports to restrict the joint movement. Steel hinges are used to make joint connections between 40 equally shaped, but differently perforated panels. The perforations reduce the weight of a structure and thus increase its structural properties.
