The computational model was developed based on a topological optimization of the form and a predictive game of the loads that acts on bench. The initial concept was to play with the thinness of the bench. The decision to optimize resources led us to the search of the best uses and performances of the board, [...]

Material Distributions – Team 2
The workshop main objectives were experimenting structural systems, material optimization and fabricating the designed object. The main idea was creating a two person bench (1.2m x 0.5m) with a simple surface shaped like o-elongated in the horizontal axis using MDF wood with varied thicknesses (3mm and 12mm). The second step was to simulate the loads [...]

Unfolding Chair
The main idea was to generate an equipment that can be unfolded in order to be transported easily. It was designed in Rhinoceros and then applied a Milliped plugin based on Topostruct software in Grasshopper to calculate the material distribution according to a distributed load on top of it. After the calculations were made, we baked [...]

S11 Material Distributions – The Bench – Group 4
For this workshop, we designed a two-person bench using the structure optimizing software Topostruct and Millipede, a Grasshopper plugin. We digitally simulated loads and fixed supports onto the general boundaries that we wanted for our design in order to generate a basic stress diagram showing the various areas of tension and compression. The bench has [...]
