MSc Building Technology | Technoledge Design Informatics.
Together with a group of thirty students we designed a stage through parametric design, using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper. The geometry was optimized for increased acoustical and structural performance, and all the panels were customized for the ease of assembly. The group was divided in several sub-groups; coordinators, form specialists, structural specialists, acoustical specialists, assembly specialists and materials specialists. I was contributing the last one, learning a lot about the production technique and how to go from form to production of the panels using the fleximold (a mat with adjustable double curvature to cast resin on). We wrote a script in grasshopper to obtain the data needed to set the fleximold.
