London Living Bridge

01Layers of London

_Static Layers (infrastructrual layer, activities,..)

_Dynamic Layers (geographical layer, use,...)

_Physical Layers (geographical layers, infrastructural,...)_Abstract Layers (use, activities,...)

_Projection Layers (use of infrastructure,tides,...)

_Base Layers (public infrastructures)

02Base layer (public infrastructure)

_Base layer: depending on field of reseach. (train, metro, bus and taxi

_Functional mapping (pointclouds)

03Busses (part of baselayer)

_Bus Pointcloud (border = M25 motorway)

_Bus Voronoi _Bus Delaunay

04Taxi (part 2 of baselayer)

_Taxi Pointcloud (border M25)

_Taxi Voronoi

_Taxi Delaunay

05Metro (part 3 of baselayer)

_Metro Pointcloud (border M25)

_Metro Voronoi

_Metro Delaunay

06Train (part 4 of baselayer)

_Train Pointcloud (border M25)

_Train Voronoi

_Train Delaunay

07Baselayer (infrastructures)

_Voronoi and Delaunay overlay (border M25)

08Delaunay on site

_Less connections over Thames (natural scar)_Several nodes close to London Bridge (nodes selected by amount of connections >10)

09Baselayer Delaunay Zoom

_Edge of baselayer Delaunay being 1.07 km_Modification of baselayer Delaunay via attractors on nodes_Base structure on bridge _Base structure on bridge

10Tangling A

_Clustering of curves, digital interpretation of the Otto Frei “wool thread” principal digital research of clustering- techniques

11Tangling B

_Straight curves

_Clustered curves to attractor

_Shifted

_Shifted with higher clustering- factor

12Deflector test on bundel

_topview of bundel a way to morph the wetgrid and linearity of straight lines (several examples, distortion depending on the gravity of the deflector)

_perspective view of bundel_perspective view of bundel

13Wetgrid deflectors

_Digital representation of the Otto Frei wetgrid system

_f being the evolution in time and force of the deflectors

14Cross-references

_Second layer, edges being the 1.07 km radius

_Generated via cross-references on pointcloud of baselaye

_1 : start 2 : cluttering North bank 3 : cluttering North and South bank 4 : cluttering + attractor

5 : cluttering + deflector6 : cluttering + attractor and deflector

16Cross reference

_Connection of the street-ends

_Selection of most important connections

17Cross reference

_Main branches (red)

_Secondary branches (orange)

18Survey

_Most favourable way of transport = on foot

_Average distance that people want to travel on foot to public transport-node

_Generates our radius, being 1.07 km

_From this circle we will extract the program for the bridge

19Functionmapping

_On radius defined by distance on foot to transportationHUB

_Urban stitching

20Function count

_First system : selection by number. Most frequent items will be adapted to the program

_Offices: 198_Shops: 63_Churches: 40_Bars: 79_Restaurants: 88

21Function count

_Second system : Area of each function to define area dedicated to each function on bridge

_Offices: 19108 sqm_Shops: 3050 sqm_Churches: 1874 sqm_Bars: 1637 sqm_Restaurants: 2790 sqm

22Open spaces on thamesbank

_Connect open space on north and south bank.

_Insert extra program, to provide solution for needs

23Extra program

_London splash and waterfront on Northbank

24Extra program (infrastructural)

_1: Infrastructural HUB of train and metro

_Train: endstop

_New subwaytrack over new bridge

25Trainstation

_Contains the largest part of the program (shops, offices, bars and restaurants)

26Gyroid tests

_Rheotomic surfaces

27Gyroid modification

_Spatial modifiaction

_Initial stretched gyroid

_Tests on sharpness and curvature of gyroid
