HOPPING WITHIN HYPERBOLOIDS- Recreation Center Design

This project locate at 2116 Market Street of Philadelphia. Since it is near the city center where streets can be too narrow to jog or do any exercises, this project is designed to provide citizens an open space to do sports like rock climbing, skateboarding and running.

The chunk is selected to display multiple sports people enjoying at the same time, while the form language of interior is totally different from the facade.

The physical model demonstrate how patterns connect with mullions on the rooftop part through multiple joints and suspended structure element. 

Besides, we use robotic arm to print patterns in clay and bisque them to test if ceramic can be used on facade composition, which turn out that it is totally capable.
