2B model project

Toyo Ito is the one of famous architect from Japan. He became a world-famous architect based on Tower of Winds (1986), and Egg of Winds (1991) these two famous architectures which located in Yokohama, Japan. They contribute to the creative construction of new technical possibilities. Their function is the exhaust port of the underground system, and its significance lies in Ito's handling of its opacity, which is one of the hallmarks of his work. The perforated aluminium structure appears healthy during the day, but "dissolves" at night using a computer-controlled lighting system. These light systems form an interactive display that represents measurement data, such as the surrounding noise level.

Final edition Model:
For the model I designed this time, I inspired by the wind tower from Toyo Ito. Firstly, I want to design a practical design. In the first model, I simply put some bamboo sticks. Furthermore, distribute it evenly to reason about the balance of the model. For the second model, I tried ellipsoids of different shapes. For the third model, based on the original model, I created an ellipsoid with a piece of paper as the foundation and connected by bamboo sticks. It also presented by the night lighting inspired by Toyo Ito: Tower of Wind. In the final model, I reinforced it and showed the final effect. It is reinforced and connected by six opposite bamboo sticks and four cross-section bamboo sticks. Finally, it can be useful as a type of table lamp. When day time it can turn out to table interior.
