Sebastian BIAŁKOWSKI, Tudor Eugeniu COSMATU, & Alexander KALACHEV (tutors): The aim of the workshop was to build a fully parameterized 1:1 scale Pavilion. . . . This pavilion—flexible enough to host numerous KAT events—would be an expression of both applied physical forces and imposed design decisions acting as shape defining criteria.
The final design is based on a formal concept—defined by the usage of natural forces in order to generate catenary arches, a structural concept—which is a result of the superimposition of origami logic in order to define load bearing structural elements, and an intelligent connection concept—which rely on no binder and allow the repeated assembly and disassembly of the structure. Thinking, Making, Breaking: Structuring Design: May 2013. Regular readers know I love my job--this is a good example of why.
For the last year I have been working with two graduate students, Nathan Scott and Bart Phillips, on a fascinating research and design project centered around the design and construction of a thin shell structural prototype that challenges many of the traditional limitations found in these structural forms. I have always been fascinated by many of Buckminster Fuller's early teaching experiments with structure, form, and fabrication (particular during his stint at Black Mountain College in 1948 where the first geodesic prototype was constructed).
Additionally, Heinz Isler's low-tech methods for form-finding in shells has served as an inspirational example for how non-engineers (like myself) can still experiment with these forms. The next stages consisted of the production of several prototypes of escalating scales: cardboard models, 3d printed components, large scale corrugated cardboard enclosure, etc. Parametric design. So far, I have deconstructed and digitally rebuilt one of the chairs I found at the recycling center, split the chair up into individual pieces and experimented with how they work together when Multiplied.
I now need more specific information from Dundee City Council on there needs and requirements for the Pavillion. This information will provide design constraints that will help in forming the final solution. I called up the council and managed to speak with Janet Wade from the waste management department. I asked her a series of questions about recycling in Dundee: What are your overall aims for the future of recycling in Dundee? What methods do you currently use to promote recycling to the public? Build your own Bamboo Domes. This is page 95 of "Domebook Two", a book that was published in the 70's and is very hard to find.
It was written by Pacific Domes (not the same as Pacific Domes), and I was able to find it at the local library. Bamboo grows fast, is free material for a dome framework. It might be possible to suspend a tent skin or mosquito netting inside, or pull a stretch cloth over the outside and shoot foam. Tools: a pocket knife and string.

Architectural education in its relation with computational technologies is both becoming a part of these studies and having the potential of renovating itself with the knowledge of emerging technologies.
This paper, in this framework will be presenting a design research studio that aims at developing the relational thinking capabilities in computational design process. La Cage aux FollessuckerPUNCH.

New york NEW YORK “Massimo Scolari: The Representation of Architecture, 1967-2012″ is a comprehensive retrospective of the work of visionary architect and artist Massimo Scolari, who taught as a Visiting Professor at the School of Architecture in 1977 and 1978.
Originating at the Yale School of Architecture, with a nucleus of drawings first exhibited at The Cooper Union in 1977, the exhibition includes over 160 original drawings, paintings and watercolors, as well as other works completed between 1967 and 2012. Curated and designed by Scolari himself, this is the first retrospective of his work to be presented in the United States since 1986. Robotic Fabrication in Timber Construction. Robotic Fabrication in Timber Construction Researchers at the University of Stuttgart, lead by the Institute of Computational Design, develop a lightweight timber construction system combining robotic prefabrication with computational design and simulation processes, as well as three-dimensional surveying technologies used in engineering geodesy.
In collaboration with Kuka, a manufacturer of industrial robots, and the timber construction and engineering company MüllerBlaustein, the partners investigate the potentials of robotic prefabrication in timber construction. Their goal is to develop an innovative, performative and sustainable wood construction system and to expand the tectonic repertoire of wood architecture. Small and medium-sized enterprises in Baden-Württemberg are leading the industry in the field for specialized timber constructions. In the past, timber fabrication processes were focused on either manual work or mass production of single elements. Robotic Fabrication in Timber Construction. Wood structure beams of the same profile. So i'm trying to do the same profile extrusion or sweep1 of these contours that are supposed to be wooden beams that will support the facade. Is there a way to parametrically extrude them along these curves, having the same rectangle profile, obtaining a solid.
