Yue time schedule

I will not be able to work on this workshop from 8th-18th of July. So I think the final presentation would be better after 24th of July. How do you think?

Thursday: TopMod & Speed Pinup

Dear Students; as for Thursday I want to remind you to download the Software TopMod, that we will need for the introduction into topological mesh Modeling. It is also crucial that all of you have finished the abstract machine models of material behaviour. Don´t forget to negotiate the borders of your model to the adjanced site. Also please pinup the images you selected and the explanations in connection with the terminology of the module. Pinup the analytical drawings of your plaster models.

I´m also pleased to announce that we will have a guest critic on thursday: Rivka Oxman

Dr. Rivka Oxman is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion Israel Institute of Technology. She is currently the chair of the graduate studies committee in architecture and urban design.

Her doctoral research was in the area of Design and Computation. Her research relates to the representation of design knowledge and its exploitation in computational models of design. In the area of design computation, she is investigating the impact of the current generation digital media on design thinking and the development of generative systems for architectural design. Research on digital design theories and models is formulating their contribution to the emergence of new paradigms in digital architecture.

Model Analysis

Hi everybody,
As to fascillitate the process of analyzing the physical models and ease the process of translating it into the software, we would like you to produce the following maps of your models:
1 manipulation of the wire (e.g. where did you cut it, how many cuts, wire deforming – direction, layering the wire, ect …)
2 plaster application – tomographic map/s (how many layers did you apply, direction(s) of application, direction of distribution, speed of distribution [material viscosity])
3 overlay maps 1+2 >> compare with pictures of the actual physical model

The dynamics of the movement and form gives us opportunity to have different type and layer on the surface. This include connectivity/ tpology together with stratification on continous movement and always has transition inside regarding to the horizantal reality..

Stratification


Idea
Examine the analyzed Grids (Workshop Wolf D. Prix)

Composition
Overlay different Grids (Mainstreet, Street, ..)

Conclusion
Representation of the individual elements in a city and the entire one













































































Connectivity

Expiration with the model construction
Apply the plastics on stations in the direction of the connections
- model have been rotated

Laws for a functioning system
- Global order and stability
- Reduction of the communication distances
- Reduction of the energy consumption
- Admission of information from the external world
- Fast reacting learning mechanism and controlling system of evaluation


















































































Topology

Composition
Chickenwire was changed by stretching, tossing, bending and distorting.
The developed network was poured over with Gips
- In order to generate a new form
