What happens when you combine cutting-edge fabrication technology with intrinsic material knowledge?<\/p>\n
A\u00a0 group of staff, researchers, and students attended the four-day workshop Soft Structures\u00a0<\/em>where they explored the digital materiality of complex concrete building components through iterative full-scale design and fabrication.<\/p>\n A sample of the process and results is now exhibited at the library.<\/p>\n At the workshop, architectural wall designs were rationalized and subdivided down to a small design space and fabricated in sequence using a fully parametric fabrication workflow. Industrial robots mounted with hotwire cutters were used to efficiently cut through square EPS foam blocks, resulting in negative concrete formworks.<\/p>\n The workshop instructors Research Assistant Ryan Hughes<\/a>, PhD-fellow Asbj\u00f8rn S\u00f8ndergaard<\/a>, and Teaching Assistant Professor Anders Kruse Aagaard<\/a> introduced the participants to a large variety of surface treatments, and the workflow of mixing, casting, and demolding concrete elements.<\/p>\n The pieces on display in the library range from the finished pieces to the early sketch formworks.<\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 1 \u2013 15 March 2017. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday: 10.00 \u2013 16.00, Wednesday: 10.00 \u2013 18.00, Friday: 10.00 \u2013 15.00 Everyone is welcome to visit the exhibition, entrance is free.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What happens when you combine cutting-edge fabrication technology with intrinsic material knowledge?
