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\u00a0where 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, PhD-fellow Asbj\u00f8rn S\u00f8ndergaard, and Teaching Assistant Professor Anders Kruse Aagaard 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

Everyone is welcome to visit the exhibition, entrance is free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33140,"template":"","eventkategori":[1939,1940],"yoast_head":"\nSoft Structures - Aarhus School of Architecture<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/aarch.dk\/en\/event\/soft-structures-experiments-in-digital-materiality\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Soft Structures - Aarhus School of Architecture\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"What happens when you combine cutting-edge fabrication technology with intrinsic material knowledge?
