Spring 2010 MArch Studio

Week 2: organism studies

Week 3: PNEU UNIT proposal, dew collector

Week 4: PNEU UNIT modelling, modelling in Generative Components
2010 Spring semester's studio first half is about creating a pneumatic structure for an emergency housing which has an environmental goal to it. I started off looking into a type of rigid shell jellyfish which swims not by adjusting its form of the outer shell but by its inner muscles. I went on using the concept of 2 surfaces, one stiff one flexible, in developing the unit for dew collection. It will then constitute a system which forms the enclosure of the emergency shelter.
Night Garden, New Orleans, USA
This was an installation which I was involved last semester. The seminar experimented in using 3d modelling for mold formations using CNC routing machine and plaster,material research on ceramics and porcelain for hanging tiles.
Excerpts from RAEL SAN FRATELLO ARCHITECTS
"The Night Garden is a vertical landscape built of glowing porcelain tiles within a steel structure supporting translucent vessels designed to hold water and flowers such as evening primrose, moonflowers and brassavola... Within a laser cut steel frame were placed unique porcelain tiles designed by each student. The plaster molds used to slip cast the porcelain were designed with Modo, a robust 3D modeling program made by Luxology, and CNC milled."
"The project was installed at DesCours, a free, public, week-long architecture and art event now in its third year, held the second week of December in New Orleans."
