READING THE LAYERS AND TRACES OF WAVES INTERVAL: DESIGN INFORMED BY THE DYNAMIC PATTERN OF NATURE

This paper aims to explore the idea of interval in nature as the basis of architecture design method. This paper focuses on the natural interval pattern created by movement of ocean waves. The discussion of the interval of waves in this study is part of an investigation regarding architectural discourse that is interconnected with the dynamic of nature. Current discussion of pattern of nature focuses on the pattern found in the physicality of living being. This paper investigates six case studies of ocean waves in nature and annotates the mechanisms of traces and absorption which occur indifferent layer water flow in response to the wind direction, physical obstacles around them, and underwater topographical surfaces. The layers of traces and absorption exist as mechanisms that inform architectural programming driven by the interaction of various context of dynamic natural patterns. The study utilizes the movement pattern of waves as a way to produce electricity, filter water and care for living beings around the seashore, particularly the various oyster organisms in the deep ocean sea. The interconnection between these systems produces various possibilities of architectural spatial composition that aims to harvest the dynamic of nature, and in doing so foster the growth of living beings. This study demonstrates how patterns of nature exist not only in static forms of the living, but also dynamically emerge through various existing forces within theenvironment.
