The Acceleration Interchange is M1A’s proposal for an installation at Anaheim’s new regional transportation hub ‘ARTIC’. The project, a wayfinding pavilion, reflects Meridian 105′s ongoing exploration of equation-based parametric modeling and design-to-fabrication processes.
Placed in the facilitiy’s large exterior plaza, the piece activates
the streetscape, encouraging circulation within and around and a primary
orientation point for connecting travelers. The form finds reference
to the transportation theme of the larger facility, modeled by the
application of wave and acceleration formulae acting on its form. The
resulting pavilian is a twisting organic gesture.
The installation is a fabrication of GFRP (glass fiber reinforced
polymer) tube volumes formed from the digital model. The finished GFRP
encases a structural steel frame cantilevered
from concrete foundations, stabilized horizontally by a spine. A
structural diaphram provides additonal rigidity at the pavilian’s open
edge.
