Folding matters &…

Getting familiar with fabrication technics Waffle TessellationAt first In this project we built a surface with Grasshopper using Expression command, the surface was based on an equation, every direction in our project such as X, Y, Z had a specific equation and range, then with paneling command we divided the surface into triangles, we scaled the triangles in smaller size and subtracted them from the previous triangles, these subtractions provided a pattern for us. The Main methods we used in this project were Tessellation, Triangulation and Paneling. The material used in the prototype was cardboard we cut the shapes that the project required also we hatched the places that we needed to fold them using laser machine. Previous Next Previous Next CastingIn this project we found a minimal surface called CLP using a plugin in Grasshopper, then it was turned in to...

Discrete in architecture is a new way of thinking about architecture design and tectonics that privileges the parts rather than the whole. It allows a different way of building and therefor a different way of thinking architectural design. With this new knowledge we can ultimate the process, reconfigure the parts and also achieve more flexibility that we didn’t have before. Discrete sampling is with statistical digital patterns. In this case we use lines of construction and optimized them to obtain the form that we have produce with two surfaces. a lowpoly was created between this two surfaces with a program in grasshopper which links construction points together. Then this form was smoothened with the Catmull operation. To procure the construction lines of the form we decided to create field around our generated mesh. This is...
