Agua Mobility

A passive cooling system Project Agua Mobility is an innovative endeavor that utilizes 3D printing technology to integrate plaster and mortar materials around bricks, enabling the simultaneous construction and finishing of structures. The project’s primary objective is to develop an alternative water transportation system based on capillary action, employing a multimaterial manifold. In this system, … Read more

Building Therapy

Building Therapy is a project of IAAC, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia developed in the Master in Advanced Architecture 02 – 2022-2023 by the student(s) aishwarya.arun during the course MAA02 & MRAC02 22/23 Business Innovation with Davide Rovera.

Underwater vessel

Shapediver is a tool that allows quick and effective exploration of a geometry without having to use grasshopper or any other software. In this project Shapediver, was used to generate a catalogue of underwater vessels. Several parameters such as object height, number of layers, and maximum surface were used to determine the most optimal shapes … Read more

EcoBrickscape

The project was about designing different geometries and their respective infill designs for interlocking bricks made from a Sawdust based bio composite material. The interlocking strategy would be dependent on the final design of the structure. The parameters set on the Shape Diver platform would allow the user to control the size of the bricks, … Read more

EcoBrickscape

THESIS STATEMENT The objective of this thesis is to investigate the use of sawdust based biocomposite materials in the additive manufacturing of interlocking bricks. EcoBrickscape aims to develop a workflow that facilitates the generation of customizable shapes and infill designs that are optimal for interlocking and aggregating, enabling efficient fabrication and assembly. The study also … Read more

Shapediver: Background Fabric

This project used shapediver imputting mechanism to create mass background fabric structures for the use in a design project. It has flexible imputs of different base building outlines that simulates different units within the desired building block. At the point the project is still encountering diffculty with uploading to Shapediver, it will be solved in … Read more
