GIRIHCHINI
GIRIHCHINI is a toolkit for designers to produce a large library of geometric patterns based on their shape grammar. This add-on is developed based on formal language and rewriting system. Each pattern is recognized by a list of characters which represent a shape in the pattern. In addition, the parametric aspect of components provide a…

OTF 1st PRESENTATIONS
The IAAC program Open Thesis Fabrication 2017-18 (OTF) proposes to design and construct 1:1 architectural elements that take advantage of the latest computational tools, additive manufacturing process and the great thermodynamic properties of adobe to achieve passive performative system for a bioclimatic architecture. (check the Program here) OTF – OPEN THESIS FABRICATION FIRST PHASE FINAL PRESENTATIONS The IAAC program Open Thesis Fabrication 2017-18…

IAAC BUILDs – The wall challenge
The wall challenge Walls is the occasion to print thin surfaces and explore the relationship between the geometry and the structural behaviour in adobe printing. When addressing structural properties in 3d printing, one should consider two main aspects: the structural integrity during the printing process, that is while the material is wet/uncured, and the one…

IAAC BUILDs – Two tankers
Workshop objectives The general objective was to create a habitat for a bird that keeps a cool temperature taking advantage of self-shading and thermal conductivity. This workshop was engaged with the following topics: Double layering printing Thermal conductivity Solar incidence and sun-path (the birdhouses have an orientation) Cavity filling

IAAC BUILDs- Zeer pot
IAAC BUILDs – OTF 2017 – Workshop #1 Brief Zeer Pot Context A pot-in-pot refrigerator, clay pot cooler or zeer (Arabic: زیر ) is an evaporative cooling refrigeration device which does not use electricity. It uses a porous outer earthenware pot, lined with wet sand, contains an inner pot (which can be glazed to prevent…

OTF Studio- final
This project aimed to explore whether that is possible to design and construct a multi-storey habitat, out of a sustainable material like adobe, within robotic additive fabrication in a dense urban context. Additive manufacturing in architecture is still in early stages. Although there are few projects that tried to face this approach, it is still…

How to spend your weekend in CAA!
This week I had to re-assemble my Knocklamp in order to some further development. It really had a good feeling working again with bunch of electronics stuff!
