The exercise aims to understand the various aspects of milling machine, the ability for it to make an architectural detail and to understand its constraints on design. Focusing on the use of milling tools in order to get specific forms, the exercise was to design a hexagonal tile of size that would be tangential to the points given so as to create a seamless repetition of patterned designs thus the pattern should allow rain water to flow seamlessly in order for it to make its way out of the pattern.

The Sliding Joints !
Group 1 attempted to create a combination between dynamic and fixed joints to create a zipper like joints that moves on a horizontal axis . With this movement of the joints , the tension fiberglass cables changes in form to create alternation of forms and directions . 4 different Kind of logic in Joints created to gain more flexibility in movement on all dimensions .
Triagon- Digital Fabrication Laser Cutter
Triagon is a combination of triangles and a penthagons coexisting in the same structure.
The goal of this first Digital Fabrication project was to build a tower out of 4 board of 3mm plywood while exploring the properties of the material and to acquaint ourselves with laser cutting.
The Triagon stands 2.7m tall. The structure is made out of a single 180° twisted plywood elements which works in tension along with the joints to form an equilateral triangle which is the basic unit of the tower. Read More
