Flower Structure Rendering – 02

This is an animation of what I see as a what you are trying to achieve when you are playing with each flower. It’s a transplantation of the complete open and closure of the flowers.

I’m imagining you can touch and activate (by piezo touch sensors) each flower. Maybe I’m integrating a speaker so that this interaction generates a sound and some movement connected. By completing this type of game you can activate the whole structure, which is what this animation is showing.

Let’s see.. There will be a diagram on this soon.

This animation took my poor laptop 14 hours to render. I sketched, watched ”På Spåret” (classic swedish TV)  and had a good sleep in while it was working.

 

Snap-fit-obsessed

I didn´t do my snap-fit marble machine yet. I got obsessed with printing snap-fit-locks in the lasercutter. It kind of tickles my stomach when they snap together. Think this investigation was well worth. 

Here I show two structures, based on two different types od lock-systems, first picture showing the printing layout.

 

Lecture 01, R & Sie(n) at AA

AA Live Lecture by R & Sie(n) François Roche  www.new-territories.com

It just happend that I visited the Green Architecture For The Future exhibition at Louisiana this week and saw the ”Thing Which Necroses” – project by , also shown at the lecture. It is a prototype of a building that be built in Stockholm next year. A building that dies.

The idea biomass structure that dies through the effects of the local environment. I look forward to the full-scale one.

 

 

 

 

Robotic Architecture of R & Sie(n)

The strong fascination of the machine is expressed by Roche in many parts of the lecture. The “Olzweg”-project feels very close to what I see my project could be. Here a robotic mastermind is stacking pieces av glass, a bit randomly, to make this, what I understand as a extension for a museum in France.

 

 

In my mind a robot like this will be stacking along with people allready using the building it is constructing. The robot has to take notion of their activities and adjust its building process. This could be interesting.

 

 

Scaffolding 02 – HAKI

Searching for different scaffolding types and producers I found out that HAKI, a really big international company, has their Head Office is in Sibbhult, not 30 minuites from Hässleholm where the Siesta festival is hold. Something to keep in mind for later.

 

Precedents, Structures 02 – Scaffolding

Scaffolding is often used in temporal constructions such as stages and pavillions, but seldom with as beautiful result as this. Just as I was getting bored with scaffolding structures I came across this Pavillion for XVI Chilean Architecture Biennale, by Felipe Assadi on ArchDaily.

Perforated aluminium strips are woven between the horizontal bars make the covering. I really love the atmosphere of the interior from the pictures and I will not discard the use of a scaffolding structure for now.

Precedents, Structures 01 – NEXT Architects

These posts will contain examles of complete structures or structural elements that I find interesting. These are or can be reintepreted as being temporary or ephemeral, or at least easy to disassemble.

Bridges Enschede

A concrete bridge by the dutch Next Architects, supported by piers of stones in steel cages. Beautiful simplicity I think, old technique. I can these piers being foundation in an ephemeral structure, but combined with what?

Construction Box Table and Pocket Models

The most simple constructions are also the ones I find most beautiful. That´s why I post this table, also by Next Architects.

As simple is the assemlage of my Star Wars Pocketmodels! Once put together they fit really hard by the spring pressure of the thin foamboard they are made of. This simplicity is something I want to strive for in my ephemeral construction.
