LT COLLINS ST BATHS

The Little Collins Baths project explores the generation of complex topological form in the creation of spatial organisations of high porosity. This operation was undertaken within the framework of an existing building shell. Existing space is perceived as a field charged with potential, which is eroded through the displacement of particles within a self-organising system. A threshold of density generated by this erosion is extracted as a surface through the tomographical technique of isosurfacing. The resultant porous form creates a spatial organisation based on connections, both circulatory and visual. The implication of the project lies in the capacity of the design process to act directly upon form, rather than a translation of a generative diagram into architecture.
