Cylindrical Membrane Morphologies

Cylindrical Membrane Morphologies This project pursues the study of a micro tensioned element that is highly flexible in its form and constellation, easily connectible and geometrical aligned but at the same time appears organically and randomly arranged. A system is...

Volumetric Membrane Hinging

Volumetric Membrane Hinging This project focuses on the shaping of a single volumetric component and articulating its materiality to provide structural capabilities and methods for interconnection between components. The basic morphology can be seen as a series of 4...

Membrane Coherency and Variation

Membrane Coherency and Variation The spatial logic behind the system was based on a simple rule, which we called here “coherency”. Controlling the input cutting pattern and application points for tension made it possible to determine the output geometry,...

Translucent Lamination

Translucent Lamination As a material approach shown throughout wood’s cellular structure, the translucent quality can be instrumentalized through repetitive pattern orchestration.  An interest in misalignment of these orchestrated patterns and their relationship...

Steam-Bent Wood Lattice Morphology

Steam-Bent Wood Lattice Morphology Bending solid wood is a traditional woodworking technique. As compared to additive or subtractive fabrication techniques, this forming process has considerable advantages for producing curved wooden parts: bending wood is materially...

Differentiated Wood Lattice Shell

Differentiated Wood Lattice Shell Until today, the geometry of lattice shells derived through form finding processes has been based on the bending behavior of wooden elements with a uniform cross section. The first research objective of this project was to extend the...
