3Ds MAX first trial

These are the first exercise that I have realised in the 3Ds MAX software. Consisting of two basic chairs and a table, in different shapes and styles experimenting to become more confident using this software.

Paper models

 

From different perspectives this model looks different, the arcs of one side are bigger than the other and all join on one side.

 

  Constructed from various angles interlocking into each other, even if it’s almost a block light can still get inside as there is space from the top.

 

 A cave shaped model, tried to work with a circular base but I found myself very limited when trying to create something.

Something different for dinner

Packed Pavillion

The pavilion is the final group-project of the Master Advanced Study at the Chair of Computer Aided Architectural Design (MAS CAAD) at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland. The CAAD Chair is specialized in the application of information technologies in the field of architecture and in computer-controlled fabrication.

Packed, a pavilion made out of 409 truncated cones, all vary in size, which all together are aimed to fill the surface creating a network. Each cone is different in size, form and position, together all the cones have a common aim to have overall stability, shape, illumination, views and spatial quality. The shapes in cardboard where cut and labled with a G3 Digital cutter, it took 3 men on a period of 10 days over a 24 hour shift to cut all the shapes.

Corrugated cardboard was used to manufacture these cones, a layer on top of the other, 28 in all; of which was cut, glued and labelled with a computer-controlled machine. Weatherproofing is provided by a shrink foil, a packing material like all the other that form the pavilion.

Learning from Nature

Danish architecture 3XN designed this pavilion is built from bio composites with integrated intelligence that creates a dynamic interaction with its physical surroundings and its users for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. This pavilion presents cutting edge possibilities within sustainable and intelligent materials.

‘Learning from Nature’, the name of this pavilion shows the concept is based on nature. Everything is based on nature from materials; the dynamic energy generation to the biological cycle of nature is the fundamental basis for the shape. The pavilion is shaped as a Moebius band to symbolize the biological cycle; and the properties of the construction are very like those of nature, such as the coating of nanoparticles that helps clean the surfaces and clean the air. Additionally, the pavilion is built of biodegradable materials; and as for energy, the pavilion is 100 percent self-sufficient.

Open Pavilion

In Hakwoon park, Korea, Open Pavilion was constructed along with LOT/EK’s Open School and Raumlabor’s Open House as part of the 2010 Anyang Public Art Project. The Open Pavilion was one of the three attractions in the city park, a new kind of pavilion which could be served as a resting place as well as a gathering place.

This pavilion brings people together, the inside is like a miniature stadium, and there are 70 seating’s, stacked in four levels, radiate from a central focal point. Though it is open to the public, the structure performs as a Public Living Room, encouraging intimate social interactions.
