Design by Spheres – A Project for Museum
Naomi Ando
“Design by Spheres – A Project for Museum” is a prototype of a small museum. A total of 12 spheres of varied diameters from 3.2 m to 16 m were arranged inside a volume space that was 24 m wide, 12 m deep, and 12 m high. Dynamic spaces with spatial fluctuations were realized by the algorithm to generate spheres with random diameters in random positions. Individual functions, such as an entrance hall, a lobby, exhibition halls, a terrace, and storages, were given to each sphere, and architectural elements such as stairways and floors were added. The structure of this museum was assumed to be constructed with reinforced concrete shells of 20 cm to 40 cm thick.
Digital Modeling Contest Works (Web 3D)
We have set up a gallery of historic prizes and award-wining works in past Digital Modeling Contests. Some of these works can be viewed in 3D virtual spaces using Web 3D technology "XVL Technology".
