Valldaura D&D Kit

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a tabletop role-playing game where players create characters and embark on adventures guided by a Dungeon Master. Through storytelling, strategy, and dice rolls, players explore worlds, battle foes, and solve challenges in an open-ended, cooperative experience. The game is played using polyhedral dices, character sheets, and often miniatures on gridded … Read more

Software III: AI Optimized Earth Injection Deposits

injection printing

Github: https://github.com/Adronegenius/Software-III-AI-Optimized-Earth-Injection-Deposits The process begins with human fabrication of woven modules using flexible rods or sticks. Due to tension, compression, and human variability, the woven pattern often deforms. Our system integrates computer vision to scan these deformations and a robotic arm to inject earth between structural members at optimized locations. This bridges physical craft and … Read more

Terraweave: Innovative Structures for a Changing World

terraweave

Introduction In the face of the growing demand for sustainable construction, the integration of renewable materials with advanced fabrication techniques is essential for creating adaptable and efficient structures. Our team developed Terraweave, a project that combines willow and earth to create hybrid building components. By leveraging the natural properties of willow for flexibility and earth … Read more

HELIA

This academic year, the 3DPA program focused on the theme Performative Earth Construction, guiding the work from research to design and construction.Following the projects Tova and Texit pavilions, two enclosed spaces built on the Forest Campus, the aim is to explore how 3D printing with earth can be used on a larger scale while responding … Read more

Artist’s House

The Artist’s House is designed for an artist couple and their two children. The house is divided into 3 main entities: the living area, the studio and the artist house, separated by a central patio. The studio accommodates two distinct spaces tailored to the needs of each artist. One is a sculptor and/or painter who … Read more

Transient Plastics 2.0

The plastic crisis has reached staggering proportions. If all the plastic waste on Earth were laid out, it would be enough to cover the entire surface of Argentina ankle-deep. Every year, we produce 300 million tons of plastic globally. Yet only 10% remains in use, while more than 80% is discarded. Of this discarded plastic, … Read more

AI FOR ROBOTIC FABRICATION: Smarter Motion by Bridging Simulation and Reality in Robotic Clay 3D Printing

https://github.com/PaintDumpster/ai_for_robotic_fabrication.git In the field of robotic fabrication, precision is everything! Yet there’s often a significant gap between a simulated toolpath and the real-world movement of a robotic arm. Subtle discrepancies can lead to printing errors, structural issues, or failed prototypes. We explored how AI can be used to minimize this gap. This investigation sits at … Read more
