Eco-Net Pavilion
Romain Thijsen, Vasiliki Koliaki, Vivien Wu, Jingyi Li
The Eco-network focuses on the multi-agents system. In the system we have different sub-systems:1.Network system 2. climatic system and more. We want to use parametric software to simulate people's behavior. We use people's angle of view, positive points in the garden and the negative points in the garden as our variable for calculation the people's paths. Then we will define the different characters of entrances and people's identities to control the paths. Lastly we will use this algorithm to build our whole networks in this garden. The network would be our mapping notebook to guide our cafe pavilion design. Because of the property of our cafe, this pavilion will give a feedback to our networks. As a result , our network is dynamic system .What we want to do is finding a balance in this dynamic network . At same time, the climatic system will affect our network system by solar variable and light variable. Then the network system would give a feedback to adjust itself for the requirements of entertainment.

- Cell shape and configuration
In fist stage the cells are formed by circles. Those circles will create the hexagons, resulting in a grid with gaps. To create a closed grid with inlay between the hexagons, applicable for Cellular Autonoma, the circle-cell will be changed into an elliptical one. This makes one cell exist out of two hexagons.
- Cell configuration for open space
To create a floor plan for the pavilion, Cellular Autonoma is applied in order to let the cells grow creating a hexagonal grid with boundaries and open spaces. The different possible configurations of hexagons allow creating a diversity of open spaces according the amount of cells.
- L-system construction
The construction of the pavilion is based on the growth of an L-system. This L-system is derived from the floor plan which is based on Cellular Autonoma and fits within the hexagonal grid. The construction consists of columns partly covered with a skin. The size of the L-system column -and so the amount of branches- is derived from the amount of neighbors of the cells forming the base of the column. A formula makes the columns surrounding a bigger open space branch more than a column surrounding a smaller open space.
- Logic of L-system branching
(degrees seen from perpendicular of base):
Base branch 0°
1st branch 30°
2nd branch 60°
3rd branch 90°
4th branch 60°
5th branch 30°
6th branch 0°
