Hyper-Toroidal Deep Surface Prototype

Hyper-Toroidal Deep Surface Prototype This project investigates computational design strategies for differentiated, cell-based membrane morpholgies that describe a continuous surface with variable cylindrical apertures. The tensioned mesh and anchoring location serve...

Perforated Deep Surface Prototype

Perforated Deep Surface Prototype This project investigates computational design strategies for individual cells, describing a continuous surface with variable cylindrical apertures. The tensioned mesh and anchoring location serve to contort the overall geometry....

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,...

AA Component Membrane

AA Component Membrane The AA Component Membrane is a permanent canopy for the roof terrace of the Architectural Association in London. Following a commission by the AA director the canopy was designed and manufactured by EmTech in collaboration with Buro Happold in...
