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 [...]

CRACKED!
Brief of the exercise: The exercise was to design a famous Panot hexagonal cement floor tile as designed by Gaudi in 1904.One of the particularity of this design was supposed to be the capacity to be inserted within a larger assembly and to create continuous patterns across several tiles.

SIMULATED
The thought was to overcome the limitations of the milling machine and the concrete hence present a tile that would appear to be visually soft and contrast to both the nature of the material and the machine. To achieve our goal we focused on two main aspects the first being the use of shadows to [...]
Topography Faces
As the purpose of the exercise was to create tile pieces to cover the school’s patio floor, we decide to create an image concept to represent what we think is the essence of the school and the advance architecture at Iaac: The students.
