Design Analysis & Concept As the project brief required to reimagine the Serpentine Pavilion by Francis Kere, built in 2017 at the Serpentine Gallery in London, UK, the pavilion was deconstructed and analyzed into 3 of its major elements; the roof, the roof structure and the envelope. The main idea for the reimagination of the … Read more
Penda is a high-rise residential tower in Tel Aviv, featuring brick arches and cascading terraces influenced by the city’s Bauhaus era and the materiality of its Old Town. The 116 meter high scheme will house a range of one to four bedroom apartments, as well as double-height penthouses. The tower is designed in a modular … Read more
Final Project – Computational design seminar 22-23 The 2017 Serpentine Pavilion by Pritzker Prize winner Francis Kéré captivates through its simple geometry that’s charged with increasing complexity at the detail level. The logic of the structure seems very much reminiscent of the concepts and processes that we got to know in this computation class. The … Read more
Darkhan Kadirov Introduction Computational design is not just a tool, but a different approach to the idea of design itself. in past times, it was available only to a few people, but in our time, there is an opportunity for everyone to use it to materialize their thoughts. During this recreate, I took the idea … Read more
ABSTRACT. This project aims to rethink the Serpentine Pavilion, designed by Francis Kére. The approach used in this design was to study possible kinetic properties that could be applied to the 2017 project, while maintaining its general shape and layout. The original pavilion takes wide advantage of local solar, wind and rain characteristics, this proposal … Read more
Abstract The project aims to recreate and redesign the pavilion while taking advantageof computational tools to reiterate and at the same time be tangential to the essence of the pavilion. Francis Kéré’s 2017 Serpentine pavilion is conceived as a micro cosmos. Promoting a sense of freedom and community. Inspired by the tree that serves a central … Read more
Parametric facades BRIEF: The aim of this assignment is to choose an existing building with a parametric facade from anywhere in the world and recreate the facade on the rhino using grasshopper algorithms. This undertaking would involve breaking down the chosen facade to comprehend the logic behind its creation and using computational tools to model … Read more
Location: Piazza Guglielmo Marconi 42100 Reggio Nell’ Emilia, Italy Architect: Santiago Calatrava Year: 2002-2014 Material: White steel 00_ABSTRACT The aim of the exercise is to recreate a parametric facade. First, we extract the geometry logic behind the facade and then we use computational tools in order to modeling the building. 01_ INTRODUCTION The new station … Read more
We were assigned to recreate the Serpentine Pavilion 2017 by Francis Kéré, which consists of three main architectural elements: structure, roof and envelope. Each of us was responsible for one of the elements that were homologue and harmonious when assembled together in a final code. We applied what we’ve learned from this Computational Design course … Read more
Location: University in Groningen, Netherlands Designed by: UN Studio Original Facade Components Facade A deceptively simple envelope constructed from flat, vertical aluminum slats, which, in places, are twisted outwards in bowed forms. Tall, vertical undulations are generated, which present an open or a closed aspect depending on the angle under which they are viewed. This … Read more
Introduction architects_Nudesarea_301 sqmyear_2015location_Mumbai, India The architectural component was designed to facilitate yoga, gastronomical experiences, and cultural event spaces for music, art, performances, intellectual discourse and fashion. These activities are stacked vertically over three levels, including an open to sky terrace courtyard. Remotely located from traffic snarls and insulated from typically high levels of air and … Read more
Computational design seminar 22-23 MAA RECREATION of the Serpentine pavilion by Diébédo Francis Kéré Deconstruction of the Pavilion Concept and Design Strategies The parametric design of the Pavilion implements the three main components roof, space truss, and enveloper respecting Kere’s original design intention. It represents a nature-based form, growing from the ground and developing into … Read more
Robotics in food manufacture Exercise Create a moving end effector to be installed on the ABB arm robot using the actuators and electronic components reviewed in class. Inspiration Inspiration for this device stemmed from the integration of robots in the food industry. Additional inspiration was drawn from the Latching End Effector (LEE) on the Canadarm. … Read more
Overview This project explores the complexity that can be derived from the interactions between a small number of simple components and assembly instructions using Anemone. Connection faces were assigned for simple components consisting of less that 10 voxels and basic assembly instructions were designated using Anemone. Selection of connection faces was based on the subsequent … Read more
This project focuses on generative assemblages made out of multiple identical modules. The design of the component and the iterative logic will influence the final assemblage. At first the focus lies on the design of the component and the connection points between each of them without adding occlusion. This results in a random growth that … Read more
The seminar mainly focused on the computational thinking and logic to design assemblages using iterative algorithmic strategies starting from a single module made out of basic cubes. The designed module was treated as the basic unit of computation, able to store and compute data. Starting from this initial element and position, the growth process was … Read more
00- ABSTRACT Digital fabrication is a design and manufacturing workflow where digital data directly drives manufacturing equipment to form various part geometries. This data comes from CAD (computer-aided design), which is then transferred to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) software. This data directs a specific additive and subtractive manufacturing tool, such as a 3D printer, CNC milling machine and Laser … Read more
