AimThe aim of this short experiment is to investigate the possibilities creating a dynamic spatial form in the application MAYA. From the outset of the project two questions are posed: 1) Does the space have to resemble the final building; can the space in the design process be dynamic and animated while the space of the final building is static? And 2) what are the constraints and reductions when the ideas ‘move’ from an abstract mental space into the space of the design method?
ConstructionIn the application MAYA it is possible to translate parameters of one object to the parameters of any other object – location can follow location, location can follow scale etc. In this way, it would be possible to define the inter-relationship of spatial constructions like Schindler’s unit system, in a way that would allow the different elements to be placed in
Primary applications MAYA, RHINO, Form•Z, Fire.
DiscussionThe context of the application MAYA that handles different kinds of animation, both the traditional keying, where every step in the animation is planned and defined, and dynamic relationship where elements are provided forces and constraints that react upon other objects in an animation that is not planned in every detail.
On the DVD with video and image material in the back of this dissertation, there is short video that shows the different elements of the construction and how a final structure of the design space may be.
