N2SPACE workshop 2013 / MAG LAB

Posted in Design - Installations by * FORMAKERS

The workshop asks how material behavior can be introduced into architectural design and which consequences this has on design.

The workshop focused on the behavior of material in larger arrays and how one can design and steer these.

 The topic was scrutinized under different points of view (biology, mathematics, art) to end up in an architectural expression.

The workshop was structured in theoretical lectures, seminars on necessary digital tools and practical work during, which students explored around and apply the concepts and strategies explained throughout physical responsive real scale prototype.

Workshop approach Knowing about the complexity of materials and the limitations in their behavior, we started our investigation with processes of physical modeling.

These ‘Material Probes’ was a key means for directly identifying and gaining knowledge of material properties and behaviors.

We then investigated how folding and origami with the supports of parametric tools can be supported the encoding and activation these performances to inform and even drive geometric design models. The goal of the workshop was to prepare students from different disciplines and countries for the continuing advancement of technological and computational processes in architecture, as they merge the fields of design, Art, engineering, construction and natural sciences.

The workshop also provided participants to discover this beautiful city ”Barcelona” with a professional vision about its architecture and culture.

 The workshop explored how a digital and technologies view of design could be implemented in a real scale built product.

 The output was the development of the Participant’s skills with knowledge of computational design Systems.

The participants learnt how to prepare their designs to be fabricated by using laser cutter, CNC and related technologies and how the awareness of the fabrication process should affect their design process from the early beginning.
