Innochain colloquium – Integrating material performance
A couple of photos and a short video from the Design Probes colloquium exhibition earlier this month in Vienna.
Hierarchical multi-resolution simulation for bending-active tensile hybrid structures based on isogeometric analysis
Integration between design and analysis is becoming more significant, and requires an easy back and forward transfer between design and analysis geometry. Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is filling the gap between structural analysis (FEA) and design software (CAD).
#iceformwork – A New Type of Formwork for Ultra-High Performance Concrete
ESR9- SIMULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK
AUTHOR: VASILY SITNIKOV
To increase performance of concrete constructions, concrete industry chooses to reduce the amount of cement in concrete they use. This approach leads to lower mechanical properties of concrete, resulting in thicker floor slabs and...
Open Thesis Fabrication – CFD Study of a Large Scale 3D Printed Clay Wall
The Open Thesis Fabricaion applied research programme at the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IaaC) is focusing this year on constructing a large scale 3D printed clay wall, which has just been erected at the Green Fab Lab in Valldaura.
As part of my research I have been...
Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2017 folly competition
Paul Poinet (ESR06) and I recently collaborated on a competition proposal for the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2017 folly competition. After a qualifying round and long discussions with the organizers and jury, we placed second in the end.
The Elytra Filament Pavilion at the Vitra Campus
Relocating a Modular Fibrous Pavilion
Following it’s highly successful premiere at the V&A Museum in London, the Elytra Filament Pavilion was demounted, transported to southern Germany and reinstalled at the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein.
The Vitra Campus is a field of experimentation for...
