DIGITAL DESIGN FABRICATION / karamba

Posted in Design - Design by * FORMAKERS

The seminar centred upon the investigation of engineering and fabrication methods for the realization of a 1:1 parametric envelope structure – contributing to the ever-expanding catalogue of proto-architectural solutions made possible through digital methods.

Furthermore the workshop sought not only to examine the formalization of digital design methods but also respond to the contextual specificity of Vienna through a study of the city’s formal language and affective potentialities.

Process The process began with students exploring and examining the city’s rich architectural language.

Through rigorous discussion and interrogation of the proposals a common conceptual point of departure was established which formed the basis of a proto-architectural module that was further augmented by both structural and performative aspects.

The conceptual underpinning for the project was derived from the compositional syntax and visually mediating qualities of light distribution and reflection in the work of Loos (Haus am Michaelerplatz and the onyx marble wall in the American Bar).

The visual qualities of the marble were abstracted and translated into a three-dimensional form through a process of aggregation and subtraction.Further refinement of the module and structural analysis of the overall form was performed using Grasshopper and Karamba.

Concurrent with this process was the development of a number of prototypes which analyzed various strategies for the joining for the modules.

Following the complete rationalization of the form in Rhino, the elements were flattened, laser cut and assembled into the final structure on the 17th November in the University of Applied Arts, and finally at the courtyard of the Museumsquartier in front of the Architekturzentrum Wien.
