Mars pavilion is the world’s first robotically built concrete pavilion by Form Found Design in California, United States. The almost very industry is taking manufacturing processes and retrofitting them with automated, robotic workflows. When Amazon reached out to Form Found Design to build a pavilion for their robotics conference, FFD proposed a new collaboration between robot and builder that allows for the rapid prototyping of concrete. The MARS Pavilion combines the precision of robots and the freedom of fabric to achieve an otherwise impossible organic geometry. Industrial robot arms manipulate fabric sleeves, creating an adjustable formwork into which concrete is…
The Pavilion by MMX Studio has won the for the ECO Experimental Museum’s competition in Mexico City. Text description provided by the architects. Every year, the ECO Experimental Museum in Mexico City, organizes a competition for a temporary pavilion designed to house various events at the main patio of the exemplary building designed in 1953 by the artist Matthias Goeritz. This year MMX Studio has won the first prize for the 2011 ECO Pavilion. The design does not seek to create a stand-alone piece at the main courtyard; on the contrary, the intervention tries to strengthen the key assets of the original…
New Wave Architecture’s proposal for the Iran Pavilion in 2015 Milan Expo demonstrates an essence of Iran brought together in a series of organic forms. The expo’s theme, Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life, is encapsulated the designer’s exploration of the trace of cookery in culture, literature and Iranian art. The conceptual idea behind New Wave’s proposal for the Iran Pavilion and the Persian Garden, reflects the cycle of a tree: the organism is fed by the soil, grows and blossoms, before nourishing people and spreading throughout the earth “to asset its support.” According to the architects, “the tree offers…
This book by Bradley Cantrell (Editor), and Adam Mekies (Editor) Codify: Parametric and Computational Design in Landscape Architecture provides a series of essays that explore what it means to use, modify and create computational tools in a contemporary design environment.
Due to its comprehensive tool-set and great potential for 3D modeling, more and more architectural design and interior design firms are adapting Autodesk Maya and integrating it into their practice.
The book explores the development of the latest digital tools including advanced-modeling software and computer-aided design in the production of architecture.
ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion by University of Stuttgart, Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning in Stuttgart, Germany, 2012 In November 2012 the Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart have completed a research pavilion that is entirely robotically fabricated from carbon and glass fibre composites. This interdisciplinary project, conducted by architectural and engineering researchers of both institutes together with students of the faculty and in collaboration with biologists of the University of Tübingen, investigates the possible interrelation between biomimetic design strategies and novel processes of robotic production. The research focused…
Designed by Hooba Design Group, the Espriss Cafe with 28sqm space is located in Nejatollahi street in centre of Tehran surrounded by Iranian handicrafts shops, neighboring the building of Iranian handicrafts Organization. The aim of the project was to renovate a gift shop and change it to a cafe, considering the small size of the project and its location the main idea inspired by the urban context to transform the traditional elements into an architectural interior space. In designing the spatial diagram of the Espriss Cafe, the materiality concept is based on an integrated geometry continues from outside to inside.The neighboring…
The Sydney Garden Pavilion by AR-MA, called Trifolium, was constructed using thousands of components. The pavilion’s curves were created by joining robotically-produced Corian panels with laser-cut mirrors. AR-MA, an Australian studio, won the second edition of the Fugitive Structures architecture competition with their Trifolium design. This annual competition invites emerging or mid-career architects to propose structures that utilize advanced technologies. The pavilion is located in the garden of the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation in Sydney. Trifolium is a unique, self-supporting shell structure located in Sydney. Its three-pronged shape creates a beautiful curved canopy that can be used as a meeting…
Project EGG is an object measuring 5 x 4 x 3 meters, composed of 4760 uniquely shaped stones, 3D-printed by Studio Michiel van der Kley together with hundreds of co-creators all over the world. The largest 3D-printing community art project so far. A new way of creating and collaborating.
