Emerging 3D printing technology creates unprecedented fabrics, which becomes a new motivation for architects to try fashion design. Using TPU/TPE in 3D printing and combining FDM with traditional fabric create a new design space of fabric texture and geometric articulation. Although printing experiments often encounter failure or defects, we can feel the fabric with our […]
Vertical Community – computational design of residential architecture 城·生 孔星淇,赵一璞 Metabolism 易家齐 ,程东元,王筱远
For more than one hundred years, the Dom-Ino system of concrete construction has shaped the minds and hands of modernism architects. While the cutting-edge additive manufacturing technology calls for new design methods. 3D concrete printing has a great freedom in 2D plane, but it is difficult to make cantilevers or horizontal parts without customized supports. […]
Computational design of Residential Architecture – Youth Apartment | Vertical Community School of Architecture, Southeast University, 2021 Design Tools: Processing 2 + Gurobi 9.1 The pursuit of economy, regulatory overkill, and the preconceived workflow of architects are responsible for the stereotypical massive housing in China; Michael Wolf’s celebrated photograph series, Architecture of Density, reflected the […]
When I assumed the professorship for CAAD at the ETH in Zurich in September 2000, computer aided architectural design was mainly a matter of building models in a computer. Two directions were then prevalent: Under the title of ‘virtual reality’—in simple terms, applied computer graphics—the surface features of architecture were reproduced in the computer, while […]
