STATE OF ART
Part to Whole
HG-A, South Korea – 2014
- The “Part to Whole Pavilion,” designed by HG Architects, is a project that explores the concept of modular design and the relationship between individual components and the overall structure.
- It embodies the architectural principle that the sum of the parts can come together to create a cohesive, dynamic whole.
- The modular nature of the pavilion allows for rapid assembly and disassembly. Each module is designed to work independently, so they can be arranged in various ways depending on space or functional needs.
- This design choice not only contributes to structural integrity but also creates visually interesting shadows and textures, enhancing the viewer’s experience.
Building Traditions with Digital Research
Rui Oliveira, Jose Pedro Sousa – 2016
- This paper investigates how contemporary digital methods, specifically robotic fabrication, can reproduce and expand on the brick architecture of Raúl Hestnes Ferreira. It aims to bridge historical building techniques with modern digital precision.
- The study employs robotic assembly and parametric design, focusing on advanced bricklaying methods. This approach not only improves the speed and accuracy of brick construction but also enables more complex and intricate designs that were traditionally challenging to achieve manually.
Columns are analyzed as primary element of Ferreira’s designs. Columns, traditionally crafted through meticulous layering of bricks, are viewed both as structural and visual elements in his designs.
