Week 1 : Digital Fabrication Research

 This assignment is to do research on inspirational Digital Fabrication pieces / Architecture.

1. Casa Batllo designed by Antoni, Gaudi, 1904-1906.

 This building is being renovated with design of Antonio Gaudi. He applied his famous use of organic form all over the building including the interiors. And I thought this is very fascinating by its unconventional look of the building.


2. Exobiology Collection Ica Paru and Kostika Spaho. Nyron, 3D Printed.

 

Designed by Ica Paru and Kostika Spaho, these shoes are made of nylon and digitally fabricated. From the designers' statement, using 3D-printing, they could make shoes that are more fit to individuals and that brings comfortableness for people who wear those. At the same time, they could adopt highly organic design to shoes. Bottom line, by adopting 3D-fabrication design, they could solve conventional shoes' problem.


3. Macau's Morpheus Hotel, designed by Zaha Hadid  

This building is inspired by the Chinese tradition of jade carving, to sculpt and create voids. This is the world's first free-form exoskeleton and maximized the external facade to give light and views to each one of the rooms. This was one of the problem that has to be solved design-wise. With exoskeleton structure, the building's support structures are outside, and that creates interiors that aren't interrupted by vertical supports. Composed of structural steel and coated in aluminum. I chose this building to introduce since I thought the structure is very unique and it was solving a lot of problems with its unique design.


 
4. Queen Ramonda's crown and shoulder mantle for the 2018 film Black Panther and Setae Jacket by Julia Koerner.

Unique and delicate design, letting the work to adopt informal shape and great details in the shape. 

This piece features an intricate network of multi colored 3D-printed bristles that mimic the hairlike setae structures found on the wings of the Madagascan Sunset Butterfly. The artist developed an algorithm which can read those images and translate the colors into the geometries which were then 3D-printed directly onto the fabric.

Project 2: Reverse Engineered Object (Week 1: Select)

이미지
 The second project we'll be working on is to reverse engineered object. To provide more information about the engineered object, it is a mechanical object that is complex or multiple parts and inherently made up of several components and assembled. Additionally, it should contain moving parts that interact with each other. This week, I will select few items and take a look at their parts and decide whether they are adequate for this project. After selecting an object among them, I will measure this object as precise as possible using caliper and re-build this each part of this object as 3D file using Rhino and eventually assemble them into a holistic piece. In this post, I am taking a closer look to figure out the objects I chose will be adequate for this project. I selected 3 items that are a ball point pen, a stapler, and a circle cutter. The reasons why I chose them are as follow: They are mechanical objects that are made up with some parts that interact each other. And their s

MILESTONE PROJECT 1: Stacked Slices Model

이미지
 For this week's project, I thought with the slices, I can probably make cylinder type light shade. Below are the inspirations. The second, fourth and fifth one shows somewhat continuous changes on each pieces, so I thought I can make a extruded surface (think of something like a carpet, with uneven surface) and let its one side serve as outside and the other side as inside of the figure, slice it and place it along the base shape of the cylinder.   I was drawing a free line, which will be the starting point of the uneven side of the surface. However, the line I drew really didn't reflect the shape I am imagining, so, I looked up some videos again.

ALGORITHMIC SURFACE MODELLING + ANIMATION

이미지
  This week, we are assigned to use algorithmic surface modeling, using surface morph, brep, divide domain square and extra. Process While finding tile examples, I found this peacock feather pattern and built line work based on it. And I made a brep, using a star shape with 16 lines, that are rounded. I used "loft" to make shape, and gave a bit of twist.  And found out that my surface morph is not happy with something. So, I tried to give bit of volume to my line work, and couldn't satisfy it. I tried to fix problems, now my divide domain square was not happy either. I thought maybe it is because of the twisted shape and made another brep, with no twist, and finally it was happy. I came back to the surface morph's problem and check what is bothering it. It seemed that my  reference line work being flat is causing the problem. I thought my instructor showcased making pattern with line work, however it didn't work with my line work. At first, I tried to pipe the lin
