s:PROTOTYPE - t:PERFORMANCED2D Smart Geometry 2010Design to Destruction Cluster
International Workshop & Seminars
Building PrototypesShowcase
Design Hub Barcelona, 2011.
Design to Destruction cluster at SG2010 focused on structural optimization through information driven design, analysis, prototyping and testing. A simple and controlled exercise was to be developed individually. An MDF board was to be set up as a restrained beam, and loaded until the structure failed.
Image sampling was used to inform and “perforate” the board strategically in relation to lower stress areas. Design solutions where compared for performance-efficiency (area/load ratio).

modularitythe bimodal chair is made of a single type piece that can
arrayed and used both as a lounge chair or a short stool placed horizontally or vertically

reproducibilitysystem or furniture that can de easily adjusted to
regulate capacity or to fit varying needs
simplicitythe design can be fabricated economically because of its modularity and adaptability of size and material thickness

building restraintsThe orientation of the 1148 individual bricks was adjusted depending on the overall curvature of the shape
programmed formdesign is based on a Reaction-Diffusion algorithm, programmed
in Processing, creating a three-dimensional self-standing structure
The project consists of a temporary structure for CAAD Chair’s premises. Various methods of generative computer modeling where combined to design and ‘sculpt’ Ytong aerated concrete blocks using a CAD/CAM Kuka robot

production and assemblythe complete process took approximately 300 hours
of cutting and another 150 hours for assembly with 8-10 people working in three shifts for 24 hours a day

in collaboration with classmates MAS 11/12
ideaa tea house within the Taiwanese tradition is a social space of transition unlike the ritual rigor behind the Japanese version,
therefore an ethereal, blurred and sharp space was conceived, fading out between outside and inside; between transparency
and opacity

subdivisionmultiple frames go through an iterative subdivision process varying the resolution
of a pattern where areas of opacity and transparency are pointed out by “attractors” that define the finer lattice structure
exhibition and final assemblyfinal exhibition outside the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei was set-up by Taiwanese students fro NCTU.

engages visitors into gathering and interacting in a warm protected environment reminiscent of a bonfire
materialitya combination of familiar elements such as fire, rocks, wood and hay, intersects with more technological ones like doubly-curved steel sheets and thermoformed polycarbonate panels

structurean enclosing curvature was translated into a series of concrete beams that span over an inner plaza adaptable to a diverse range of activities recreating the classic informal commercial typology in Costa Rica and allowing for a
flexible space between two highly programmed volumes

texture, color and ambiencethe highly structured system of orientation in parc la villette corresponds not only to the narrative behind the folie
grid, but also with the discontinuous lines of vegetation; landscape additions for the opera contribute to enforce a cinematic promenade and an ambiguous ambience that highlights and conceals the new opera building
doubly-curved and faceted surfacesa series of studies and 1:1 models were built to test the application and tiling of materials on complex surfaces throughout the project
