The MAA is a visionary master program with an innovative and open structure, mixing diverse disciplines, shaping professionals capable of producing theoretical & practical solutions towards responsive cities, architecture & technology.
This term, we explored three Digital fabrication techniques: CNC Milling, Laser Cutting, and 3D Printing. Our objective was to create A Cabin Integrating and investigating the characteristics of each technique. Concept The waffle cabin, designed for future human use, is tailored for different terrains, including beach, desert, forest, and plain regions. The primary structure of … Read more
DIGITAL FABRICATION 3D Printing | CNC Milling | Laser Cutting 3D PRINTING As we embarked on this three-week journey of digital fabrication, we began with 3D printing in the first week. Our goal was to create something that could be integrated with our other techniques in the weeks to come. To maintain flexibility and openness … Read more
Our cabin project is a public space for relaxation and meditation, constructed in three parts. The CNC-milled topographic base serves as a parametric bench, designed to mimic natural terrain and provide a comfortable, seamless seating experience that integrates with the surroundings. This precision-milled base offers ergonomic curves and a natural feel. Above, a laser-cut roof … Read more
Design & Concept For our project titled “A Cabin for the Future”, we focused on designing an innovative roof structure utilizing laser cutting technology. We aimed to challenge ourselves by opting for a curved roof created through the technique of ‘folding’ an 8mm polypropylene sheet. This approach allowed us to explore the structural potential of … Read more
DIGITAL FABRICATION 3D Printing | CNC Milling | Laser Cutting “Rotating Ridge” is an innovative facade module designed for a compact cabin, exploring the integration of three key digital fabrication techniques—3D printing to CNC milling and laser cutting. This design is trying to establish responsive shading system, structural framework and an visually harmonized façade. The … Read more
The project Warded explores the concept of a “cabin of the future.” When considering future projections, it is difficult to estimate the exact needs and conditions; therefore, Warded is designed for flexibility. For its canopy structure, a traditional tile roof-like pattern is reimagined and interwoven further, like fabric, produced through laser cutting. A fractal tree, … Read more
The Concept when tasked with designing a cabin, we envisioned elegant, simple forms that would stand in contrast to the complex, organic shapes of nature. as we considered the landscape it would inhabit, we realized that this cabin wouldn’t just sit on the land—it would CLING to it, embracing the terrain in a dynamic and … Read more
In this term, we had the opportunity to explore the three distinct fabrication techniques- CNC Milling, Laser Cutting and 3D printing – which resulted in the production of our cabin components CNC MILLING “Diamtic Echoes” A wall was created with layered cutouts and a grid system to add depth. In order to experiment with material … Read more
This term, we explored three fabrication techniques: CNC Milling, Laser Cutting, and 3D Printing. Our objective was to create complex geometries while investigating the unique properties of each method. Through this investigation, we aimed to demonstrate how different shapes can be produced using various machines and techniques, thereby enhancing our understanding of advanced fabrication processes. … Read more
The Concept GeoCabin is an exploration of three forms of digital fabrication: CNC Milling, Laser Cutting and 3D Printing. It features a continuous, blob-like geometry inspired by the lime-green blobs found in the Andes. The geometry was created through parametric algorithms, blending curves and voids. The design process evolves from a base geometry to a … Read more
