Machine design – part of the biweek assignment at the FabAcademy, helps students study how to assemble machines and see how they are wired, programmed and how it works. This also includes the current assembly of the ShopBot at the FabLab by the FabLab team, This robotic machine is highly calibrated to be a faster, [...]
SPHERIFICATION In our conceptual machine we borrowed the technique of ‘Inverse Spherification’ that was invented Ferran Adrià in the molecular gastronomy – when a liquid droplet whichever contains calcium is submerged into an alginate bath, the droplet of liquid will then be spherified by forming a ‘gel’ like surface around the sphere. Droplets become ‘caviers’ in water depending on [...]
Students have been working in groups on their master plan for their chosen sites which include the Bollywood area, the Port and the Centers of Mumbai. They are now in the details of their capsules where they are working on their site, environment and energy source. Faculty Willy Muller and assistant Maite Bravo were consulting [...]
