In order to save energy lightness yet hasn’t found enough attention in construction. In the future much may be gained by this enormous innovative potential.
The project investigates physical experiments that create three dimensional heterogeneous materials with a graded stiffness, a structural hierarchy, and a locally controlled lighting dynamic performance.
Studies are split up in two basic typologies and got focused on “layering” and “branch” fiber composite organizations.
The idea was to introduce an architectural organisation where the soft elements will become rigid through collaboration, by weaving, bundling, interlacing, braiding or knotting.
A research seeks to interface the yet described creative freedom of material design with the abstract order of digital systems.
The models are an abstract construct, with integrated logic of programmatic and structural growth that is able to be unfolded on the next step in the disciplinary and creative process of making architecture.
