Master in Advanced Architecture 2011/2012
Our purpose is to create a contrast between four monochrome surfaces and a multi-colored surface situated in the middle. In the modeling procedure the four surfaces have a slope which causes a shade and at the same time the middle surface consists of distorted pyramids defined through a Grasshopper definition. The pattern of the pyramids [...]
Our main purpose is to test the bending capacity of the material according to different forms. The starting point was the plain form of a spring and its multiple profiles. This allowed us to test the different possible geometries and come to conclusion on which of them have more capacities on extending, bending and supporting [...]
We designed a unit, in which we can use the flexibility and the tension of the material due to the direction of wood’s fibers. We tested different ways of assembling it. After experimenting with different size of units and different joining methods (interlock, slots), we started to weave them. Using stripes, we weaved the units [...]
