SecondMatter project’s core structure optimization

SecondMatter is a material-driven design project that explores how construction and demolition waste can be repurposed into structural and non-structural building elements using digital tools and jamming/ramming fabrication techniques.

The project optimizes the placement of fragmented stone geometries within a defined volume through Grasshopper Galapagos.

The goal of this process is to select the best stone geometry for frictions and optimize the placement of CDW stone geometries within a defined core volume using jamming logic, balancing material density and structural efficiency.
